i received my end of year exam results on thurs. Wasnt really good, three As, three Bs and one C. But only one A1, maths, which was really good cos I got 90 for it.
I've never got this high for maths EYE before, and this time i even beat Charlotte and Amanda! i just couldnt believe it. After math common test 3, which i didnt do well for, I made a pact with Amanda to beat Charlotte, who did quite well for CT3, during the EYEs for maths. And I did, while Amanda didnt:( . Anyway, this made up for my other subjects, which i didnt do quite well for.
But my English improved, A2, from my lousy B3 or B4 last year. And my Geog missed a mark to A1! Nvm, im happy enough anyway!
I'm going to make my parents buy a new pair of contact lenses for me:) . Maybe tomorrow night, after i've finished filing, tidying up my room, sweeping and mopping my room floor! |

| outing to Far East Plaza and Bugis Village!:) |
|
Haha it was so fun yesterday! Charlotte and I went to Far East Plaza and Bugis Village. We met and Tampines MRT, on the platform. I was late and was wearing my contact lenses that day so I couldn’t see that well as my contact lenses were of a lower degree. I called Charlotte and asked her where she was, and saw her walking to me. Assuming it was her, I ended the call. We walked closer to each other and laughed. We waited for the train to arrive, bringing us to Orchard. The sky was overcast.
After arriving at Orchard, we had to find our way to Far East Plaza. It was my idea to go to Far East Plaza, but I haven’t gone there by MRT before. We relied on my map—Charlotte said we looked like tourists! But the map wasn’t enough, fortunately there were other street maps around Orchard, thoses standing ones that indicate where you are and where the underpasses were situated. But they quite misleading, we didn’t know how to find thoses underpasses, and I even contemplated digging a hole in the ground. Anyway, we just tried to make out the direction in all the maps we had and we walked towards the wrong direction 2 to 3 times, but we eventually managed to reach Far East Plaza. I was glad I had Charlotte around with me, cos she’s a girl guide and can read maps better than me! I was the one who suggested to go to FEP, but Charlotte led us there. What an irony!
Far East Plaza was quite quiet, partly cos it was a weekday and it was during the afternoon, with the sky overcast. It was the second day of PSLE too. We walked through the maze of shops and I saw beautiful scarf earrings! But most of the things there were a little expensive, so we decided to go to Bugis Village.
It had just stopped raining and the ground was wet. We crossed the road to BV. Little did we know what was in store for us! I haven’t been to Bugis Village before, and I would say it was a more noisy, squeezier, crammier, smokier, no air-con version of Far East Plaza but it didn’t fall short clothes, bags and accessories! A kind of shopping haven. We walked through the labyrinth, looking at all the shops! Charlotte saw some pink skirts and in the next few shops I teased her by showing her some pink shirts with ridiculous designs. You should have seen the look on her face! Then came her yellow obssession. We walked into a clothing shop with many funky designs. Charlotte fell in love with a cute yellow dress with giraffe designs and black sequins. However, it costs $10 and we didn’t have much money with us. We continued walking around.
After walking past many shops we came into a shop which was another branch of the shop that sold Chalotte’s favourite giraffe dress. This time, the funky skirts really caught our attention. We fell in love with the same design, but of different colour.(me-brown, Charlotte-black) It also costs $10 each and again we were caught in a dilemma. Another pink shirt that "had style" caught Charlotte’s eye, but we just couldn’t leave those skirts! The shop also had a stupid and stubborn " no trying" and " no changing" policy. Tell me, HOW TO BUY SOMETHING IF U CANT TRY IT ON??!! At least the "no changing" policy was reasonable, but NOT the " no trying" one!
We decided to leave that shop and look at skirts from other shops before we made our decision. We saw some gorgeous purses and skinny jeans. But however big Bugis Village was, we still got back to the same shop with those skirts! We used the "Sex Shop" as our landmark to direct us back to the shop. After entering the shop for the third time, Charlotte called her mum for advice, and mum wanted her to try on the skirt. After talking for quite a while, we decided to walk around again and discuss our plan of action. Our agreement was, " If u buy, I’ll buy!" Then, Charlotte suggested about one of us buying that skirt then bringing it somewhere else so both of us could try. Each of us would pay $5 dollars. In the end, I decided to buy the skirt after entering the shop for the fourth time.
After leaving the shop, we looked around for other shops where could " borrow" their changing rooms. We came to a dress shop and I picked a dress for charlotte. The innocent lady who was tending the shop let Charlotte try it on in the " changing room" which was a tiny corner of the shop covered by a curtain. I wanted to go in with her, but it was too tiny. After a while, she came out and told the lady that the dress was too tight to wear. Afterthat, I went in to " try on" the dress and the skirt. Anyway, with no intention of buying the dress even though it was quite gorgeous, I only tried on the skirt and I told the lady that the dress was out of my budget when I got out. I don’t know whether the lady believed us, but she was so nice anyway! I felt so guilty that we borrowed her changing room without giving her dresses a chance. OK, actually Charlotte did, but to save time I couldn’t be bothered to. The poor lady! This is the worst thing that me and Charlotte have done. I hope God will bless her with more customers!
Anyway, after wearing my skirt and seeing her reflection in the mirror, Charlotte still couldn’t decide whether to buy the skirt or not! I suggested that we find some remote and secluded spot for her to pull on my new skirt over the skirt that she was wearing now, and I would snap a picture of her and show her. We found a spot in a dead end beside some shops that were covered with clothes so they wouldn’t see us. We thought it was very safe and as Charlotte was pulling on my skirt while I was standing in front of her, trying to block her in case other people came, a few people walked pass and they were looking at Charlotte! I tried to not laughed all though I couldn’t help but smile a bit! I turned around to see if she was ready or needed any help and she looked so funny, so amusing, trying to pull on my skirt with some difficulty. I laughed and helped her zip up. It complimented her shirt well and I took a photo of her to show her. She finally decided to buy the black version of that skirt and we walked back into that shop for the FIFTH time!
Charlotte claimed that the cashier gave her a weird look. Haha, of course. U took so long to decide! Anyway, we promised to think of each other when we wore those skirts, and remember all the trouble that we had gone through to finally decide to get them!!
It was six plus in the evening and we decided to go to White Sands to take neoprints before going home. The train at Bugis was so crowded but we had to squeeze in so we would be back by our curfew. With much difficulty, we managed to but were so squashed that we could smell each other, including the others! I’ve never been so squashed in my whole life! We had to get off to let others get out of the train for the next 2 stops. We thought this would go on for quite a few stops but fortunately it didn’t.
We took quite a few nice prints at "Cool Pix!" in White Sands. I think they’re the best neoprint pics I’ve ever taken. Will post them up! We got so carried away with decorating that we only finished at around 7.25pm. None of us could meet our curfew! Haha. The pics are below. Enjoy!!J ( too bad we didn’t get to take pics of us wearing the skirts together-- they’ll look so cute. Nvm, we’ll wear them out together the next time. Make others jealous! haha)
We both agreed that this was our best pic!(above)
