EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and to celebrate the happy happy happy occasion, victoria, nic, kim, bong, min, deb, ying, rox, mian, vicki and i all went to watch CORPSE BRIDE!!! actually deb and i weren’t supposed to go and watch but we managed to persuade our parents and friends respectively to let us watch it with this crazy bunch.

after the geog paper, i just jumped out of my seat and spun round and round and round! ahahaha. then we all met together and went to go and change. everyone (except me) was dressed so so so well today ^-^ esp bong- she was wearing this off shoulder von dutch top with a pink halter inside. she looked really really nice. kim was tying 2 ponytails! nic looked extra femine today ahaha. and min was wearing ORANGE! ^^ deb was clad in her usual black and white clothes with semi-transparent shorts XD sorry deb. i'm a nasty person. victoria was also dressed in a very unique and pretty way :)

so we all set off to cine where we had this long long long debate about what to watch. we were actually considering watching lords of dogtown, but they weren't screening it there. during this time we were watching this big screen tv. all you ppl are so horny la! they were all staring at the trailer for the 40 year old virgin which really surprised me because ironically they were talking abt how gross it was. so being the smart person i am, i turned my back on the screen only to find that i was the only one who wasn't looking at it. -_-''' oh well but serves them all right. i was watching the changing of their facial expressions and was greatly amused by it. :D

corpse bride was FANTASTIC. i've named it as one of my faves!! the animation is so smooth running, the plot is intriguing, the characters are so adorable (emily rocks!), the music is lovely, the jokes are incredibly hilarious and the ending is... HEART WRENCHING and terribly touching. as victoria said, it's a bitter-sweet ending. i couldn't have described it better myself :] i won't type anything about the story here in case i ruin it for someone like how someone 'ruined' it for me. ruined is in inverted commas because this person told me her version of the ending which was HOGWASH.

after the movie, everyone looked so said and depressed, that as we were walking out, i heard the word 'sad' being mentioned at a rate of about 15 times/ minute. bong looked as if she was going to cry. she already did in during the last part of the movie, however. we were all really affected by the movie...

luckily, vicki suggested going to the arcade. we went completely crazy in there and tried out the para machines- the hand and the leg one. the stepping one had 2 mats on it, meant for 2 people to para on. however, being the despicable cheaters we were, 5 of us crammed onto the 2 dance pads and had the time of our life!! nic, kim, bong, deb, mian, vic and i tried the hand one for the first time in our lives! it's super fun but a little embarrassing... deb was saying that she and i had an advantage in this cuz we both have uber long arms XD

we spent abt half an hour in the arcade before we went for lunch in pasta mania. then we went to take neoprints. THAT WAS A PICTURE TAKING DISASTER. i remember once squeezing with about 10 more ppl in the neoprint machine but none was as chaotic as this neoprint taking session with the 11 of us! everybody was cramming for room and naturally, being the unimportant, fat, ugly and super un-photogenic one, i got shoved to the bottom of the picture. -_- it was HORRIBLE. i was in the same pose for most of the pictures we took except for the candid ones which the SMART picture choosers didn't choose. *grrrr* the background was actually this automatic changing curtain you see, and everytime a new curtain came down, the back ppl would be struggling to get out from under it!!! HAHAHAH. there was so much screaming that i think people waiting for the machine were getting a little worried. this was one advantage of being squeezed to the bottom *grins an evil little grin*

i then took neos with bong, victoria and rox (nic guest starred in one of them) cuz we were making up for a lousy one we took last time. we made everyone wait for us which made me feel really bad :( never the less, this photo-taking session was MUCH better cuz we had much more room HAHHAHA. i was, however, still shoved to the side and to the corner, but i didn't really mind because i'm used to it- yeah being shoved and pushed aside. i'm just so shove-able. *shoves everyone away with her huge mass*

after that we proceeded to the kinokuniya in taka. went to the mags section, but no one else was interested in mags so we had to leave. so vic and i headed straight for the manga section and began staring at, criticizing and commenting on every single book cover we could fix our eyes on. nic thought that we were weirdos :) quote: weird people bring life to the world, normal people just populate it. BE GLAD THAT WE'RE WEIRD. then bong was so funny: she grabbed this pink book and being the sweeping people we were, we assumed it was a bimbo book.determined to prove us wrong, bong began to read the back cover of the book which read: 'leard how to cope with gossip and competition and win the beauty wars'. looking very proud of herself, she then announced, 'see? it isn't a bimbo book!' *slaps hand against forehead*

most of the group left after that. nic, kim, rox, vic and i then left for wheelock place. along the way, there was a section of the corridor dedicated to this new horror movie 'the wig'. victoria was so alarmed, she used rox's jacket as a shield and ran through the corridor wailing and flailing her free arm (her other arm was being used to hold the jacket against her face) and almost crashing into someone in her flurry. we were all so sadistic, all we did was point and laugh at her. felt really bad for doing that, sorry vic :(

after walking the twins to borders, rox, vic and i went to burger king cuz vic and i were dying of thirst while the rest of the group was TOO PREOCCUPIED with other things. so we were rescued by 2 bottles of minute maid limeade ahaha. rox then left and vic and i went to taka to meet my mum. we were given some time off to roam around and vic and i simply talked abt our day all the way. we both really onjoyed ourselves! :)

however there was one thing which was weighing on my mind... i suddenly realised how insensitive we all were. not only on that day, but on every day. like take bong for instance. (no offence bong) she complains abt how un-photogenic she is. yeah right. everytime she talks abt how 'ugly' she is, i get really really hurt- it's almost as if my heart is aching. and the twins? they go on abt how 'fat' they are. i know none of these great people mean to hurt us with their comments and self-evaluation, but maybe we should all stop to think abt the consequences before we start making insensitive remarks abt ourselves. yes, i fully agree that i am like this too. but i know this is hurting me just as much as it's hurting all of you. yeah. just gotta remind everyone to bear that in mind: keep your good points in mind, just forget abt your bad points :)

thanks for the wonderful time out gals! i'll never forget it :)
