Confessions of an Undisguised Drama Queen

Snip snap chop chop

The four words that will presumptively outline my holiday of one short week. 7 days. That's all I've got left of my uni days. A one week holiday. And I'm stuck here in freakingly hot Singapore.

And it's already Wednesday (which also happens to be my good friend, Grace's birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!).

Monday night was spent with the girls and we had a looooong chat over dinner at Santa Fe's Grill Restaurant (or something along that line; it's an open air restaurant just outside Far East Plaza). We were supposed to be out celebrating our dear Carol's birthday but the birthday girl was MIA! Poor girl had to do OT at the last minute and missed our dinner date... interns are so overworked and underpaid!

Haven't met up them for almost half a year, and I realised I haven't been to town for the same length of time. Gasp. Orchard Rd's almost foreign already. Anyway, the food was good (serving's a bit too LARGE though; even Bernice with the stomach of the bottomless pit could only manage HALF of her grilled mushroom burger!!) and conversation was good too. I smell romance in the air and wedding bells very soon! Girls, hurry up and drop your red bomb on me so I can be a pretty bridesmaid!

Tuesday, I met up with my high-flying gal pal (literally high-flying; in the pretty kerbaya ensemble and the dazzling smile) Joanne and we thought of being a little more adventurous than usual - we headed to East Coast to blade! (Not THAT adventurous... but compared to the usual shopping routine, it's a fresh change!)

It was her first attempt and she got the hang of it pretty quickly... really puts me to shame. I must have started blading since I was 10 but with the on-off relationship between me and my brother's giant sized blades, up till now, I'm still barely wheeling along comfortably. But anyway, point is, we tried something different and got a good workout! And I can proudly say that after the two hours, we've both improved by a notch.

Joanne is now aiming to get the hang of the sport so she can hao lian like this guy in yellow we saw at the BEGINNERS' corner. I'm not very proud of the fact that we were stuck there but I need to emphasize that the corner's exclusively for BEGINNERS, and it's not just because I say so. There was a large sign there clearly indicating this. So this guy, obviously not a beginner, was so blatantly showing off his stupid stunts, zipping here and there at 200km/h directly in our paths, threatening to knock us off our feet/blades if not for our stopping in time. Show off!

We had dinner at a quaint little Japanese restaurant, ZEN, at Marine Cove and I really like the place! It's a tad tiny, but it's cosy and the staff there are so friendly and warm. Brownie points for the yummy food too!

Wednesday; dragged myself outta bed at 8.30am after a long night of Grey's Anatomy (Chris O'Donnell has decided to ditch his latex Robin outfit to play Meredith's new love interest - yummy McVet) to find out more about my FYP to prepare myself for the next 3+ months of intensive research work. Having a wild mix of emotions; excited yet a tad apprehensive. But I'm sure everything will work out fine... after all, I've got a big God backing me up ;)

Then I spent the entire afternoon climbing up and down 5 storeys, moving my stuff to my relocated hostel room cos my block's gonna undergo some renovation works. Why must they choose to renovate it now of all times??!! Sheesh... all the inconvenience and time wasted.

When I first entered my new-OLD room, I got a horrible fright. Other than the fact that it's old, it was so DIRTY. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and probably almost everywhere. *shrudder*

It took alot of cringing to finally spruce up the place to some decency and I hope the spiders go find somewhere else to play and leave my room alone.

For now, I need sleep.
