My timetable's crazy. I'm doing a 3 day week, and my Mondays are INSANE. From 8.30am till 6.45pm, I've got three classes. And I didn't manage to fall asleep on Sunday night until 5am on Monday morning. I have a serious bout of insomnia haunting me. Post-Genting blues were sky high when I returned to Singapore last Thursday night and I couldn't stop whining about the sultry weather here. I guess they're fading but I don't really want them to.
I'm so happy to see Ru and Liang in school, they have been familiar faces since I entered university. I get to see Shar, Ping and Hui every Monday morning as well, so they can turn around and yak with us whenever and I'm so delighted!
Shar's haircut is superbly funky. Could never carry off a short bob like her. Don't worry about the back of your hair girl, cos it's gonna grow out in no time. Just don't think about it! (like how I attempt not to think about my thinning hair)
I managed to last the freaking day, feeling totally wasted during my 3rd class Business Processes. Damn effin boring. Puts my spirits way down cos it's like an advanced level of Management Science. EEEEWWWWW. I thought I would faint in the train on my way home. And I'm up at 1am making calls and replying emails to sponsors and president. Start of a no-lifer school term.
Ru and I also made a new friend today! Gil is an exchange student from Israel, and he asked if we could share our table with him during lunchtime at the food court. He asked us a lot of questions about Singapore and our food. He is so freaking well-read. He even knows the government pays us money to make babies. *SNORTS* He thinks our Sentosa beaches are "too young", doesn't feel real except for the sand. He thinks SMRT train fares are very inexpensive (I don't think so relatively in the sickening country with rising prices every month). He thinks Singaporeans are a bunch of "amazing" people who are very friendly especially while giving tourists directions.
And he is so funny. He wore his shades indoors. He was eating Korean bibimbap (hot stone mixed rice) and he started picking one of up the silver fish and waved it hilariously in front of me, "That is so gross!! Look you can see its eye in its clear body! It's looking at you! Why would you wanna eat me?"
Upon close inspection, I realize the silver fish is ACTUALLY quite disgusting. Thanks to this new guy who sat at my lunch table. How come I don't find ikan bilis that inedible. Because they're not silver? Because they don't have black beady eyes staring out of a shining body?
Ru and I were stunned. I went on about how they were the same as anchovies and I'm sure he eats that at home as well. I think I'm going to learn some Hebrew from him, hehehehehehe, and impress my mummy at church.
So I decided to see a dermatologist for my hair, because my hair is thinning at a pace my hamster is running on his wheel every morning. Everybody refuses to believe my scalp is showing like an old wrinkled woman's. That's because you're not taller than me and thank God you don't purposely notice my scalp! I showed photos to my sister and she's convinced to solve my problem. I may have to take steroids as medication, and I am not looking forward to its side effects. But I rather my new hair grow out as I really want to keep my long hair.
I have so many freaking problems in my body. I hate the mole on the right side of my face. I have told mummy I am going to laser it away. I need to see a skin doctor asap. I need braces for my horrid looking teeth.
Mayday Mayday.
