Laissez les bons temps rouler

Some things just had to be mentioned! Like say, last Friday night I went out with a bunch of crazy french class friends. Initially I had been studying and then around dinnertime, these crazy wackos were going for dinner (and I was still contemplating). So this Nicolas&Amey went to find me just to convince me and they LIED to me so that I would go out with them, saying that it was Yvonne's 21st "birthday"! So I obliged ok mainly because I did want to have some fun before the reading week and also because of the birthday! It was only at Ben&Jerry's that I found out it was a prank! IT WASN'T ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY! Tsk LOL. THANKS MAN guys haha! But I did have so much fun! And I totally have to mention this incident! We squeezed seven people in the car (so there were 5 of us sardined at the back!). This reminded me so much of India because we squeezed it SIX people in the tiny, auto rickshaw a few times! Suffocating to the max hee.

Anyway, during the ride, Nicholas who drove (i don't really know much about the road regulations) went by this way that would risk the car of being caught. So someone mentioned "Ok, hopefully there isn't any camera here" or "We'll be caught if there's camera here" (somewhere along these lines) and our dear dear JESSIE said this, "C'mon hide our faces!" and IMMEDIATELY DUCKED HER HEAD AND COVERED HER FACE BWAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHA. And then Alvin went like, "That's not how they catch you!". Damn hilarious please! So anyway we decided to ask Madame Francesca to join us for dinner (like a super random thing) but unfortunately she couldn't. Amey was also another joker, apparently he received these really valuable, delicious, excuisite mangoes from his mother (because he'll be staying on campus till the end of the exams), and he was all the way PROTECTING his mangoes like they were gold (everybody say aww) and refusing to put them in the boot! Ok, I'm gonna miss these bunch of people cos ALL of them will be flying to France next semester (except for me and Alvin LOL) for exchange boohoo. Whether I'll be continuing french next semester is another question.

Went to Manhattan Fish Market last night to celebrate Ais' 21st in advance! Full strength! Which is so rare this semester and so awesome :D Khai came with a completely new hairdo. Imagine a MAZE through his sideburns and his hair for the leece to go through *LAUGHS. Managed to eat my flaming prawn platter again and see the usuals!

And proceeding to the crucial things like incoming exams, uh.

24th April: Personality psych exam
28th April: Health Psych

CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO END WOOHOO.
TILL THEN SO LONG I'M GONNA GO INTO HIDING :D

There's always 1001 things to do

Now, I supposed most Singaporean bloggers will harp about the flood at Orchard Road. I shall skip that, although I'd like to add that I actually woke up this morning (11 am) feeling so good because the weather's nice. Little did I know for two hours there was a flood at Orchard Road and to think that such occurences are rarity. Ok I hope they would start doing something to the drainage system. Working at Media C. for 2 days was quite an experience, except that Aiman and I did nothing much on Sunday and we kind of did a million more things on Monday because we had ongoing tasks to do. Plus we've met exciting people and also, hmm, interesting people (of whom we secretly gave nicknames for us to refer to). I suddenly thought of The Devil Wears Prada and I actually wonder how the life of assistants are in this line of work, are they really treated like shit? Is that a part of climbing up the ladder in this career path? Ok random. The awesome thing is really to see how they swi...

Dumbledore

I know this is probably another random entry. But I'm excited for Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows movie and I suddenly thought about the day when I read through the final pages of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. I must admit, I was actually mourning for the great Albus Dumbledore when he died (or got killed rather). Not the kind of mourning that goes on for days, just a momentary one. And I pictured in my mind, how everyone in Hogwarts were mourning for their beloved Headmaster and how solemn the environment must have felt to the extent that I actually thought that the bedroom where I was, in this tiny, little Singapore, felt equally dull and grey as well. It's impressive how characters come alive like that and reel me into the world of stories. I even had texted Revathi about how sad I felt when I was done with the book. Pardon for the melodrama, but it's the power of narration, and of course the brilliant writer herself, J.K Rowling. And certainly, the mo...
