umm. hullo. today was a reasonably good day. though everything didnt seem to go my way(nothing new?), my mood still remained cheerful throughout, and i kinda liked today. but first, a little backtrackking as usual.
FRIDAY night.
err. something unexpected happened la. my mom was like watching Goong, and it was gonna end soon as it was close to 8pm. i wasnt watching as i already planned a Goong marathon someday, i could watch till my eyeballs roll out of its sockets. then i was walking along the livingroom, actually intending to get myself a glass of peach tea. then i saw SOMETHING outside. dont worry, it is nothing supernatural la, it's my SISTERRR. i was like wtf?? was she supposed to be working in aussie at the moment? then my mom looked up and she was confused too. even my mom doesnt know that she's coming back. so it was a surprise la. she came back. havent seen her in close to 4 months.
then the first thing she said when she saw me was, "eh why ur hair so weird? like helmet like dat." > : ( first thing she said to me was trying to annoy me already. but im a nice guy. since it's a rarity that she comes back here, i decided to play nice. unloaded her giant luggage and inside was like the amazon forest. messy beyond description. then she pulled out a few treats. firstly, 2 GIANT, and i mean GIANT, bags of mini nougats of different "flavors". and lastly a bag of assorted chocolates from Darrell Leah. and those chocolates really pack a punch. i couldnt stop eating it la. but i kinda dont like caramel already. so sticky. and takes 480 bites to finish one mini piece of choc with a caramel center.
and so.. the room beside mine suddenly became lively again. after 4 months. haiyah. if only she told me earlier than she was coming back, i could have asked her to bring back more australian treats. after getting a little sick of the chocolates already, i went downstairs to get myself somemore snacks for the night. Nachos with Cheese again, and a bag of twisties. slacked the whole night off on the phone, having bites in between a conversation and it sounds irritating over the phone with the food munching sound hahah, and watching Happy Tree Friends.
5am.
showered. and ready to hit the bed any time. but, i didnt have the mood to sleep totally. and it's getting on my nerves. downloaded a new episode of death note on my PC, switched off the monitor and i throw myself on the bed in a bid to fall asleep. but it just doesnt work la. roll here roll there. i come back to the same situation. then i went to the balcony, my music getaway. i kinda refurnished it myself adding a mini "mattress" and 2 big pillows. and it could be quite a comfortable place to sleep in. i fell asleep there a few nights before and my mother woke me up at 645am, telling me to not waste the aircon in my room and go back there to sleep, where it is more comfortable. and so, this time, it failed. i still couldnt bring myself to sleep. i just played a little guitar, unplugged till daybreak. and eventually forcing my eyes shut at 715am.
SATURDAY.
i had at least 3 hours of sleep. and today, was a JLPT mock test. and shittttt, i forgot to revise the night before. and the weather was a bitch this morning. merciless, scorching heat. but i still chose to wear black from head to toe. my mom chided me to change into something of a diff color as the weather is a real torture. but in the end i just went to school wearing whatever i was wearing. but things changed in an instant when i reached town. from, scorching skies in Hougang to Reigning Dark Skies in Orchard. it was hell cooling la, i'm wearing something that suits the weather perfectly.
meanwhile...
In class. i was confused. Watanabe sensei wasnt around? and so were other students, around 3 of them were visibly absent. and replacing sensei was the counter lady. she issued us our answer scripts and question booklets and we started shortly after. aiya, i was scratching my head at some of the questions la, i forgot some of my chinese characters. then i got really frustrated. but i think i did quite okay for the first paper.
Tsugini(next)
was the killer paper. LISTENING COMPREEEEEE. it started straight after the previous paper. and i wasnt really paying much attention. the hardest thing abt this compre is, it is only played ONCE, and no repeats, so if one misses the conversation for one particular question, it's a good zero marks awarded for that question. so, it really trains us to be ATTENTIVE. but sadly i wasnt. aiyaaaa, nvm, there's a 2nd mock test in 2 weeks' time, i hope to get my dream score of 300/400!
halfway throughout the list. compre, i was confused by one question as i didnt get what was the person saying, so i let out a really loud "HUH?" then some students in front were all giggling hahah. if i did that in a real exam i would most probably get a fat big zero.
arghh. im quite lazy and tired to continue blogging, i'll blog again ASAP.
i wouldnt trade everything
even for just for a taste
i'll live with the loneliness
and i wont forget
i was never your best bet.
