Yesterday - or should I say the day before yesterday, since it's past 1.24AM now - was the end of promos finally! And it's funny, because this time after promos ended, I wasn't feeling as depressed as after blocks. Even though I may not necessarily do better in promos than blocks :/ You know after blocks even though I had like a post block party at wm's but then after the dinner I didn't talk to anyone much cept for Wayne cos I was moody. Gosh I haven't seen him in ages now. Or at least it seems so to me.
This time round, I can testify that I did put in effort, at least in math and chem and maybe econs. Screw bio D: But then for GP I didn't finish AQ, even though I had a good feeling about my essay. Econs: didn't finish case study and I think I missed out on impt points in my essay after comparing with addie. Chem: didn't finish the last question on rate, did the one on hydrogen-20 wrong, missed out on disproportion reaction in the front part, affecting the rest of the parts, and skipped two 3 marks questions that were completely doable. Oh and my definition of dynamic equilibrium is a confirm wrong, and so were the explanations relating to that question.
Math: I may just scrape an A if I get lucky, it was the only A I was really aiming for, so pleasepleasepleaseplease. Skipped like a bunch of qns that I wasn't sure of.
Bio: HAHAHAHA. Can someone just put 55 on my script and don't mark it? It was horrible.
So all in all, I DIDN'T FINISH DOING ANY SINGLE SUBJECT.
Now that I think of it, it does sound quite scary...because my target for overall was A B B B but now I'm only 50%-60% sure of getting it :/ Sigh. I hate getting back results. It's the worst thing on earth. That, right next to feeling fat and ugly.
Ok I shall not think about it anymore! Moving on, a list of all the fantastic fabulous plans I have for the holidays!
1. Lose 4-5 kg.
I'm approx 53kg, give or take a 1kg as weighed from my screwed up weighing scale. So I'm aiming to go for a 49kg, with a 1kg of buffer, should I ever fatten up again.
2. Buy a guitar and self learn!
Then I can finally play Nobody's Home and sing to it acoustically! Spotted cash converters selling a yamaha acoustic guitar at $89 :D Consulted wm and he said it's cheap but he hates yamaha. But it's alright, since I'm a beginner (:
3. Revamp my room!
Walls are too bare, cushions are thrown around too haphazardly and I need a writing table. Mmm I posted a photo of my room some time ago on my blog [here]. So the revamp will consist of mural painting (Le Tour d'Effiel, baby!), fairy lights or star shaped lights, painting my ceiling light the night and sticking glow in the dark stars on top, removing those two shelves that stick out and replace them with a fold out table with side lamp for my late night mugging habits.
4. Dye my hair?
HAHAHA this is only for fun, I don't really know whether I want to really dye it or not. If I eventually dye it, it's going to be chocolate brown. Yum.
5. Mug SATs! (needs no elaboration. I'll be memorising more than 1000+ new vocabulary like a PRC scholar.)
Anyway, after promos, me and Addie went to watch 500 days of summer and then shopped at bugis street. Or should I say I shopped, cos Addie didn't buy anything but I busted $69.50. Kudos to the impulsive shopper inside me!
Financial Damage Breakdown
$6.50 - movie
$7.90 - earcuff and a plasticheart clip [the ear cuff is worth every single penny, it's so freaking cool]
$12 manicure [yay for pretty nails! But I smudged it after I got it touching $200+ shoes at Aldo. Can't believe they take 2 hours to dry completely. After I got the mani at plaza sing, I realised that most of jurong point nail salons have express manis at $5-$6 ._.]
$10 lunch
$10 black quilted chain bag [love it to bits! It can even be carried like a bucket bag. No gold hardware? Doesn't matter, I'll be making a trip down to chinatown soon to get gold chains!]
$24.90 Asymmetrical knitted slouchy tank [wasn't unlike anything I've seen before, I love almost everything in that store! Especially their $29.90 vintage print dresses, which I'm too broke to afford all.]
$5.90 Satin ribbon hairband
Shopped till nearly 8pm, took mrt to jurong point to catch Inglorious Basterds, got home at 12am+.
Reviews of the two movies I watched!
500 days of summer
I love it right from the moment they started with the introduction of the girl blowing bubbles, her smile and the boy playing with water. And then Regina Spektor comes on and I knew this was going to be good. Yes, the OST is AWESOME. I just dled it, playing it over and over now.
What Summer said really made me think she's like a guy. We're young, we can just have fun, I don't need anybody to depend on, I just wanna keep it casual, nothing serious you know? And the part when Tom asked Summer what are we? And she said we're just friends. That part, is almost the same thing that I asked and got replied by him. Yes friends, friends don't just do the things we do. I always feel disgusted when I think about how he tried to get close to me, so certain parts of the movie really resonated with me. How he kept saying it was possible but yet not so at the same time, how I told him that it's not going to happen, but unwittingly exposed more and more of myself to him. Well, now I know. And to the next girl after me, please wake up soon.
But besides that, the movie was hilarious as well, but all in the right places. It makes you think about important things, like your belief in fate and "the one". I want to believe in fate and all that, but sometimes I feel like I don't have fate with fate, because if I did, it would've came knocking on my door now after 17 years of life.
Inglorious Basterds
Plot twists has never been made better than by Quentin Tarantino! The central theme is a plot twist that the German soldiers were terrorized by the Jews, Shoshana a Jew whose family was murdered by the Germans turned around and burnt all the Germans down, a German actress goes against her own country to plan a suicide bombing...and the last part, was just downright funny even with the gore. Really nice dark humour going on, not like anything I've seen before.
The only thing I didn't really like was Brad Pitt's weird accent.
Thanks for reading this far, my dears.
