So, these few days have been rather eventful.


Went to KAP after sch a few days ago with kau&lots after camwhoring with the class visualiser with jewel&nick. It had started to rain and so we brought umbrellas along. entered KAP and decided not to sit facing the people eating because charlotte and kau agreed that they do not like to stare at people (?) which i didn't really get because i enjoy people watching.


ate fries (mr tay said they're wax coated so that they won't stick together, and when we wat the fries, the wax goes into our capillaries and stays there.) but we ate our healthy food in denial.


On the way back, it started POURING. literally POURING ok. the roads were flooded, the downhill roads were like fast moving rivers (GOT CURRENTS OK.) but we decided, heck let's walk back.


we made it to the KAP bus stop, socks already soaked to the core and our canvas shoes squidging rather uncomfortably. we rested for a while then continued.


Kau screamed like a bimbo that's never touched rainwater before, likely making the people at the bus stop think that all mg girls are bimbos with 3 inch bumps on their head and have never stepped into puddles before. we continued, feeling our sleeves and pinafore getting wetter and wetter, cursing the small umbrellas, listening to the calming sound of raindrops and the not-so-calming sound of kau's screams.


and then: the highlight.


Charlotte fell into a 1m deep pothole.
the pathway was flooded, and we had assumed that that murky portion was just another large puddle. (we couldn't see anything on the ground). charlotte had been walking in front, so.. she stepped into the hole and kau and i watched as she shrieked and sunk into the brown, murky water. Her whole head was actually submerged from the impact of falling. Kau and I looked at each other with the biggeest OMGWTF faces in the world, then tried to help charlotte out of the pothole as she emerged. she tried to find the umbrella (it was sinking into the murky abyss) and got out alive. she had scraped her knee and so we went to michelle's house (thanks michelle!) to dry off and change into PE shirts.


that was the most interesting walking in the rain experience ever.
gotta love the art buddies.

before cell on friday, i met up with kathleen after quite a while. the last time we met, her friend had come along and i had felt rather awkward but yesterday was the best.
its like we had inserted a glowing splint into a mixture or zinc and hydrogen peroxide and we had just relighted our spark.

we talked over lunch, about the people in our lives. it was so good talking to her again, one of the few people that actually understands most of how i think and the person most like me.
we finished our junk food and went shopping. I bought some funky shades, pink shorts and a black top.

we tried on many clothes in Wh, and the lady at the dressing room was the most rude dressing room lady ever! she gave us icy stares everytime we entered, and told us off, 'EXCUSE ME, NOT TAKING OF PICTURES ALLOWED' in the most dull, annoying, scolding tone when i took pictures of us in the clothes in the dressing room. Jeez.
and later when we came out and took more clothes in, she commented to her colleague
'TA MEN LIANG GE AH, JING, CHU, JING, CHU. WALAU EH.'
then i said 'KATHLEEN, DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID?' loudly while we were changing and the lady didn't say anything else after that.

SCREW OFF LA YOU TREAT US LIKE THAT AND WE STILL BOUGHT SHORTS OK!
your face has the kind of look that's just aching for a tight slap. GO AWAY!!!
anyway yesterday was awesome, FAWESOME.
we should meet up more often. I really, really miss the ccckrew. you guys kept me alive in the darkest (so far) time of my life and it's terrible how much we've drifted.
WE MUST REKINDLE OUR FLAME!
WE MUST MUST GO OUT!!
read http://theccckrew.blogspot.com and remember those awesome times we had!
i do love you kath, charms, lots.

yesterday, i went to GMAX with julian&Mings.
ok for those that don't know what it is, it's a reverse bungee and it looks like this:

after lining up for 45 mins, it was our turn. we got strapped in and chatted with the safety people, and looked up and watched as the ropes tightening, preparing the swing us into the open at 200km/h. when it was fully tightened, i gulped and then we were released.

my heart caught in my throat and i started screaming for all i was worth. the going up is not the scariest part, its the coming down. our pod flew up, and then overturned so we could see the whole singapore river and clarke quay upside down, and then watched as the ground got closer and closer. Just when we thought we were gonna hit the ground, we bounced back up. and so on, until the ropes lost their momentum and we were slowly lowered to the ground.

40 seconds of adrenaline pumping through your veins, $30, 45 mins wait. It was worth it, more or less.
coming back from school just now, (we had some parent teacher meeting carnival thing.) I went out for lunch with kau, jewel and tiffany, bought nail buffers and then went home. as i got out of the bus, it began to rain and so began my journey of walking in the rain.

thought of the dumb slogan 'I LIKE WALKING IN THE RAIN COS NO ONE KNOWS I'M CRYING', and tried to think of sad thoughts to make myself cry. but it felt so ridiculous i started laughing and singing 'and i'm telling you' by jennifer holiday in the rain. (its one of the hardest black songs on earth and i made a fool of myself in front of a hot angmoh couple on a motorcycle listening to me sing as they waited to U-turn.

whatever, thanks for all the interestingness, it's been helping to distract my head from the sad thoughts that creep in these few days.
