18 NOV: TJ tea session, and a crazy day out with a troublemaker ;)"You are cordinally invited to attend Temasek Junior College's Tea Session for Top Students."*ooohhs and ahhhs*so i got the invite, so did Adele, Wenya, Khoon Hwa, Daniel, Victor, Teck Yan (and others), which means waking up early morning (after grad night arriving home late and slumping into bed, no less) and going there.i confess i went there not out of interest for one of the prestigious, top JCs in singapore, but free food.yes, food. i'm pathetic sometimes.the attire: half uniform.you'd think i'd not be daft enough; to fully comprehend the term "half uniform".my idea was this- top school uni, bottom: probably anything.my head was muddled up from the night before so i did just that, throwing in a denim skirt. and i thought it'd be cool to add a chain belt. so i did.low and behold strolling into the campus, i met with unnerving stares. worse still, entering the auditorium, i swore the noise died down. i rushed to take a seat beside daniel, who laughed and said "another version of half uniform"apparently everyone's version of half uniform is PE top and school pants or skirt.THAT'S NOT HALF UNI! THAT'S HALF PE.my god. depending on interpretations- so you can't put the entire blame on me.there was a talk and Q and A, so i queried about should one require a background in music or art to take that subject.i'm a triple science student, better in maths and sciences but hey, i love arts and humanities (except social studies, urh. nightmare. wonder how my o levels went for that.)then, snacks (YAY!!!) and a tour. me, wy and adele took some photos.i like their gigantic library with a high, curved ceiling- complete with Subway restaurant built in! they also have this cool carpeted art studio...know what? i am definitely taking TJ into consideration. (see TJ photos in above post)=======================================================================after that, i met up with Aaron in plaza singapura.Aaron was this guy i met and danced with in Asean prom. so he's a new friend i made :)he came late (i hoped he didn't stood me up) and we ate in yoshinoya. actually, i did, he already had his lunch.i bought him cool black shoelaces and a cap as a farewell gift before he leaves for malaysia.which lead him to cut my queue when i was buying my meal, waving a 10 dollar note to the cashier. my jaw dropped when i realised he was paying for my lunch.he told me to keep the change, but i refused. social niceties :)after that we went to the arcade. ok, he pushed me into the arcade, not hearing my protests when i pointed out he was wearing school uniform.i mean, i was also wearing, but it's half, and i removed my badge. he did the same and bought tokens.he tried to, but a staff came over and said, "You're wearing school uniform." she nodded to aaron's outfit.aaron, "No. those are bermudas." smiling to correct her mistake.OMG. i just stared. i may be reckless but i wouldn't dare-"it's school pants.""just bermudas."i wanted to laugh and just drop there in terror, all at the same time.in the end, i got really anxious, so i tugged his sleeve and we left.we walked through carrefour (pronounced 'care-for' or 'ca-fu'? i don't know. aaron suggested we go up random people and ask. i said, we fake it's a survey, he said good idea i dare you, but i chickened out.) and park mall.we ate soyabean ice cream from Mr Bean too.me: wanna go to the mr bean shop?aaron: oh. i love mr bean. he's really funny. do you watch?me: yeah, bu-aaron *rambles on about mr bean*: cool, i can buy the DVDs.me: wha-?when we neared Mr Bean, aaron found out it was a food store, not exactly, Mr Bean. and his teddie. haha! i burst into laughter at his ignorance.oh, just to add, we got caught eating at the mrt station (aaron's 2nd offense, the smart ass T.T) and had to go up the concourse.crazy day with a crazy person. but i suppose, i'm equally crazy too. that's why it rained like crazy that day, and i was drenched like mad.
