dreams of a pretty place far far away

alright, in trying to keep up with my mid-year resolution (refer to previous post), i shan’t post emo stuff on my blog so i deleted the post that i was planning to post. yup, and all i can say is, it was about taking a painful trip down memory lane this morning. no idea what reminded me, and how i was reminded. but still, that bout of nostalgia affected me all the way till after school.

oh my gee i just remembered something extremely sad/amusing/funny. i am a very very unlucky girl. :( i seem to be getting retribution for all the mean stuff i’ve said/done. yup hedda bao is being punished.

baocheng’s very unlucky day (in order of appearance):

1. i was late for school and was thus questioned by lydia yap. didn’t know what to tell her so i told her i accidentally drank milk (cos i’m slightly lactose intolerant) and had to make up some strange story about how i was stuck in the toilet of the mrt when in reality i was waiting for the prefects to go away by hiding in some bushes outside the school gate.
2. during english, I WAS HIT ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BY A RUGBY BALL thrown by a rugger at full force. this has got to be the most unlucky thing today, cos the left side of my head and ear is still hurting/throbbing from all that force. i almost felt like i had a concussion. but it’s okay i forgive you marcus since you didn’t do it on purpose.
3. i got a paper cut!! this is also extremely !!! because it’s one the index finger of my writing hand so it stings whenever i pick up something or try to write.
4. after guitar, i dropped my water bottle on my foot. this would be of no big deal if not for a) it was made up of metal b) it’s almost 1kg and filled with water c) pamelia chia was laughing at me and calling me a sucker and d) almost making me lame in the foot. okay i am exaggerating, but the pain was enough to make me swear consecutively for a whole minute. (which, to refresh your memory, i am trying very hard not to cos it’s un-ladylike)
5. i got scolded by my parents because i came home really late today… so i guess next time i can’t accompany you and take bus anymore pams. the discussion (or rather, monolouge) went on to topics such as exam results, not getting into an university, choosing the right friends, dating etc.

sigh, so suay right. but this is not the suay-est day of my life. that was when i dropped my purse into the toilet and after going home and washing the contents (thank goodness for plastic money), i was trying to dry my purse contents at the window, when i accidentally dropped my body shop member card and $3 worth of coins down 9 stories of apartments. at that moment of time, i didn’t know whether to fall to my knees in mock agony (noooo 10% discount!), or die laughing at my stupidity and the way the kids downstairs were screaming “IT’S RAINING MONEY WOOOO hahahaha”.

yup school today was pretty mundane. i feel kinda guilty that i didn’t study more for the exams. cos mdm quek yilik was saying how she knows i can get a 7 if i studied properly, and idk, i kinda felt i’ve aggrieved her. hmm and to think that my chinese is my best subject… that’s really !!! cos i used to be the type of girl that distrupted chinese lesson and not do/hand in chinese assignments, and i was always on the blacklist of the chinese teachers. which is pretty ironic, considering that i’m from shanghai right. but as they say, circumstances shape people and i’ve grown up in an environment where chinese isn’t really used, and attending a school where the “anglo” comes before the “chinese” so, it’s a pretty big deal, seeing that i didn’t study much for the exams at all.

i quote: just like a swimming pool; you don’t know how deep it is until you jump in. it might be a shallow pool and you injure yourself and get paralysed from the neck down, and will never be able to swim again. but it might also be a deep pool, where you can dive all the way down and not know what the mysterious depths hold and it’s really amazing. that’s the beauty of love.

edit: oh man suddenly i realised that i have to be pamelia chia’s slave for the whole of tmr cos of some dare. hope she doesn’t order me to do anything unreasonable (like sing to random people?!?!) well, at least i reaped some benefits out of this whole thing too
