I met really weird people in school this semester. There's this guy in my group who is just.. social-phobia/lack social interaction/plain dumb. There are 5 of us in the group, and I am the only one from the Sch of Social Sciences. I dunno where the rest come from. Never mind, cuz i can get along quite OK with one of the girls. I don't know the other 3 members, so during break time, he was standing next to me while waiting for the rest to collect their food.
We stood side by side in silence for about 10 seconds, staring straight ahead. And I thought it was pretty stupid, cuz he's gonna be my groupmate, so might as well get to know him rather than stand there in silence, which was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Me: So, what's your name? ( Smiles)
Guy: XXXXX. ( Stares ahead at the millions of air molecules in front of him.)
Me: ( Waits a few seconds for him to introduce himself more, or simply, ask back what is my name which is standard protocol, but apparently nothing happens.) Oh.. ok, so... are you in the same school of XXX as the rest of the group?
Guy: Yeah. ( stares ahead, maybe the air molecules were doing fascinating stuff like dancing cha-cha in front of his eyes or something)
Me: ......
What a strange person. sian, this type of groupmate.

Happy Birthday to Me :)
And so, my birthday celebrations are officially over.SObs. 22 year old DUCK!
Rx was a sweetie, he planned my birthday outing :D We went to Upper east coast road for dinner at Werner's Oven
Its a German restaurant and like 75% of their stuff was pork. Pork sausages, pork knuckles, pork chops.. my hair smelt like pork when we left the restuarant -.-
We ordered the cripsy Pork Knuckles! Came with German (sour)cabbage and mashed potatoes that tasted... German. Lol.. The pork Knuckle was HUGE. I can't believe the waiter told me ONE person could finish it -.-
German Beer.. not bad. Not too heavy.
Took a cab to East Coast Park for a walk after dinner.. and I had a cute ice-cream cake ( Rx version) LOL. See my 'candles' made out of Fries?
Some soccer games that took place on my birthday.. Interestingly enough, all 4 games resulted in a draw that night. hee hee.
It was a lovely birthday (^_^) Simple and comes from the heart. Thanks for making it a memorable night baby!! muacks..
And for my celebration with the girls! Manhattan Fish Market serves pretty good prawns, but lousy calamari. lol.. Thanks for the birthday present girls! And to Mel for being the photographer for the night! :DD
Went to Marina Square with mummy after school on friday.. We had to use up the John Little vouchers that were expiring soon. She took soooo loooog to choose her shoes, and when she finally did, the salesgirl said they didn't have her size -.-. Well, at least they were having some of the shoes displayed at the atrium, and after ransacking the whole pile of shoe boxes, we found her size. 18 hours straight of wearing my contacts.. wanna die ar. My legs were so darn tired, I had to apply counterpain cream and rub them cuz the bone ( not muscles!) was dead stiff. :( I am becoming an old lady.

backkk from malacca and back to sch!
Malacca F- up my immune system. Again. Still having some lingering cough and stuff.. I hate being sick :(
Went to somerset and Ion with Rx to get his new year clothes.. Everything is so EXPENSIVE!!! we walked into many shops like Gap, Calvin Klein, Topman and Uniqlo, and for one simple shirt it can get as ex as $69.90 -.- plus the material is like, off some factory in China. Thin, and the fashion isn't exactly top-notch. Sigh. If only he is a girl, we can shop for more and at cheaper prices.
Wore green contacts that day! when I first popped them in my right eye, I started laughing hysterically cuz i looked like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. When I had them both in, i looked like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland HAHAHAHA
On the plus side, the lenses made my eyes look ALIVE. It's as though my eyes had a life of their own.. and strangely enough, the lenses made it look as though i am smiling ALL the time, even when i am not. hahahahaha so fun
On the down side, its really drying. not for wear for extended periods of time. and it made my eyes look so huge, its freaky. You know, like those people that kena possessed then their pupils look extra large? THAT kind of freaky. hahaha but it was fun anyway. Can't wait to try on the Grey and Hazel ones...
There's even White-out contacts. So, a person wearing them will look as though she has no pupils. Cool eh?
