hi guys, it’s me, bao again, who else did you expect. anyway prom is in 20 hours. time is of the essence but i’m here blogging away. i’m psyched for it but at the same time i’ll be glad when it’s over! no more trekking though the amazonian concrete jungles of orchard and suntec, no more blisters, no more feeling like my ankles are gonna fall off. but then yet again this pain is all self-inflicted i guess, i could show up in granny slippers and my pajamas (i’ll be wearing a mask anyway, no one would recognise me) and spare myself all these hours shopping for prom-related stuff. well shopping when you know what you’re looking for spoils all the fun. and i’m gonna go for a foot reflexology massage on wednesday to sooth my already creaky old-lady joints (and i’m only 18!)
and then there’s lnat to look forward to after prom. :( it’s this law school test thingy for uk unis that i have to sit for. it’s only mcq compre but it’s so difficult, or maybe it’s just me. if i get less than 20/30 i’ll put my family’s ancestral name to shame. *sobs into silk handkerchief embroidered with Chinese peonies* oh deary me i really do i do well for it D:
BUT! After that I’M GOING TO TAIWAN ON THE 9TH OF DEC!!!!! EXCITING SIAAAAAAAAA, OH MAI GAO!!!! ahem, sorry for that slip of the ah lian tongue. well, i’m looking forward to the hot springs!! :D the tour guide says you have to put on a swimming costume for the outdoor one but who wears swimming costumes into a hot spring!! cmon guys! that ruins all the fun. you gotta go in naked! it’s like skinny dipping you don’t wear a bikini/swimming costume when you skinny dip. so bring it on baby, i’m gonna enjoy the indoor one in my birthday suit glory. :) (my dad says “people will secretly take photos of you and then when you become powerful and influential they’ll blackmail you” BUT WHAT DOES HE KNOW) and i’m looking forward to eating snacks at the night markets and going to xi men ding and shopping and lots of stuff. *whispers* and if i’m really lucky i might see a political demonstration on the street. HEE
haha ok that was retarded. gotta go sleep now, i kinda have a headache. :/ seeya guys, peace out.
walked around with pam around orchard the whole day but couldn’t find a nice dress at all. oh man, I’m so doomed. it’s in 3 days!!! not enough time. i saw a dress that i liked but i couldn’t remember the name of the shop, zz.
but we did get our eyebrows done at browhaus; got to say it was the singular most painful experience in my life. thankfully getting your brows done only hurts on the first time, subsequently i guess your eyebrows get used to the abuse so tweezing them won’t hurt as much. during the threading/tweezing process i kept thinking to myself “bc, childbirth will be more painful than this… childbirth will be more painful that this… bear it, bear it, you’re a woman, you have high pain threshold” etc etc to sustain myself. haha but now i no longer have caveman brows but instead lovely arches :) it’s worth the pain i guess. while i was waiting for pam to be done, i saw this woman walking out with tears in her eyes and the brow-dresser (like in hairdresser) was comforting her. i think she went for the semi-permanent brow ressurection thingy, which basically is like tattooing eyebrows to your face. if i thought my process was painful, imagine doing the same thing, except with the pain amplified with a needle poking into your browbone. the things we do for fashion, tsk.
hmm what else. oh i got my hair cut. now i have a pudding bowl fringe a la Bai Ling. lol ok it ain’t that skanky, but it’s like a straight fringe. i like it cos i won’t expose my forehead, hahaha. it was pretty cool cos my hairdresser was from shanghai too! dunno why all the hairdressers i go to are from shanghai, last time the one i went to at np was too. must be fate or something, lol. anyway i like hairdressers that come from china, cos then i can strike up a conversation with them and then they’ll be like “hey! comrade!” and cut my hair better. LOL kidding. but i mean furthering your dream in a strange English-speaking country, that’s gotta take some guts.
and since ib is over, i wake up whenever i want to and start nerding out by playing the psp all day long. i downloaded assassin’s creed, but i’m super bad at it even though it’s supposed to be pretty easy. what can i say, i’m bad at reading maps so i can never find the target i’m supposed to assassinate. but hey, i’m a girl, i’m not supposed to know how to read maps. gps was invented for people like me. sigh, maybe i should just stick with barbie in adventureland games or something.

i’ve been thinking though a lot these couple of days
the memories of us
of you
i just can’t help but remember all these times that we’ve shared
it seems like it was only yesterday that i’ve met you
but the things that happened and did not happen between us
passed by in a blur
tears, smiles, and even blood
these painful things
and i don’t know why they keep running through my mind
all the times you’ve kept me up at night
just you and me face to face without a word, the silence complete, staring
the times i’ve screamed and felt that i was at my limit
and almost cried with exhaustion
because i wanted so much for us to work out
but you never really gave in anything i wanted to do
sometimes i lay in bed unable to get up to face you in school
everywhere i turned, you seemed to be there, every single day
i wanted to hide, i wanted us to end,
yet i grew sick at the thought of the future without you, beyond you
and then, it ended, just like that
no words, nothing
after that long drawn out, mentally tiring fight between you and i
and what can i say? i feel numb
i don’t really have anything left to feel
because i’m on my own without you now
like a fish out of water
but for the first time i feel so free
and i only have two words:
goodbye ib
——————————————————-
GOTCHA! ;) hee hee. i couldn’t resist!! soz guys :D another one of my lame customary joke posts.
although these 2 years sometimes really felt like a bad romance (yes gaga hi) and there were times that i really felt that i wasn’t up to it and wanted to give up, but in the end i pulled through! we all did… i hope.
we’d have to wait till jan 6 to find out (but in the mean time, as ellen would say PAR-TA-AYY)
HIATUS
(but you knew that already, right)
and the mentalist/criminal minds/csi is on tonight but i’m too sleepy to watch. bleh
