finals finals finals
Just a week and half more and I will be out of this place and in Europe with my family. I cannot wait to be out here because I cannot stand to hear Ginger Hannah's whining much longer. Thank God she's leaving early, on Friday, days before the semester ends for real. At last, some bit of peace after this prolonged period of being around her (ever since Thanksgiving break ended).
Christmas is also round the corner, and this being December people have started to decorate their doors. Ginger Hannah frequently has impulses to decorate our door but most of the time it ends up looking rather meh. Actually I don't see the huge fuss over decorating cos we're only gonna be in college for 18 days this month, and by the time we get back in January we'll have to take the decorations down cos Christmas would have been over by then. But that aside, I need to commend my neighbors on their decorations. I remember I was walking past to go shower when they started putting up their store-bought deco. They asked me what I thought and I said, "That looks... Impressive," hahahha
Behold Casey and Ureka's door!!!!!!
Blonde-and-Racist Hanna also got decorations for her door. She had wrapping paper over her door and this:
Which I honestly have to admit is rather cute, even though I quite dislike Blonde-and-Racist Hanna (because, if you couldn't already tell from her moniker, SHE'S RACIST)
So back to our door. Ginger Hannah came back from her trip to the store with Blonde-and-Racist Hanna all excited and cheery and announced, in her high-pitched and whiny voice, that "we should decorate our door"! I replied noncommittally with a "Hurhurhur" and took my stuff and went to shower. And then came back to this:
Of course I didn't tell Ginger Hannah right away that I thought it was ugly. I just shuffled into our room and thought to myself, "That looks like a bigass angbao."
And now our door is even uglier – it's a casualty from the attacks of the Stupid And Drunk Sophomores Who Always Party On The Weekends. A bit over half of the rooms in my hallway belong to sophomores and there's this group of them that always have guys over (which is nothing wrong I suppose) and every weekend they go out and party together. Which is also nothing wrong.
BUT IT'S WRONG WHEN YOU WALK AROUND IN YOUR DRUNKENNESS AND GO AROUND DESTROYING PEOPLE'S DOORS
DARE I SAY IT'S A CRIME? YES, IT'S A CRIME
There is now a tear in the red wrapping that covers our door (ok to be fair, this guy called Ian from downstairs knocked on our door before and accidentally ripped it but it wasn't so bad) all because these Stupid And Drunk Sophomores Who Always Party On The Weekends return after their night of partying on these weekends and thrash around in the hallway and caused the tear to go down even more. And I swear to God this is not the first time something like this has happened to our door – previously when we had boards you could write stuff on, every single time after I write something, I will wake up the next morning, or return from class/work one afternoon to find my messages erased D:< Them shenanigans /grits teeth
And as if they're not childish enough, these Stupid And Drunk Sophomores Who Always Party On The Weekends still wanna act cool and mysterious. Omg digressing a bit there's this sophomore girl with bangs and brown hair who is a total bitch. She always steals the bathroom sink in the morning from me and shoots me dirty looks when I get there before she does to brush my teeth and wash my face. Did I mention she's always in her bath robe in the morning? HEY BITCH IF YOU'RE THERE TO SHOWER THEN WHY DO YOU NEED THE SINK? I complained to Michelle about her and Michelle said that the other sophomores girls in our hallway call her "The Bitch" HAHAHAHAHA.
Ok back to my point. So these SDSWAPOWs also think they're really cool. On Friday Casey drove Michelle and I to Wal-mart and we shopped for a little bit. When we came back Casey found a note on her door.
And now I shall insert a picture I have stolen from Casey's Instagram:
What "xoxo Gossip Girl"?????? Omg why don't you stop your friends from tearing down people's stuff INSTEAD OF STICKING A NOTE ASKING PEOPLE TO BEWARE. I'm sure the decorations are a prettier sight than ugly guys stumbling down the hallway drunk. Obviously, the right choice would be to bar these drunk people from thrashing about in the hallways and tearing down people's decorations, NOT keeping the decorations in!
(While we are on the topic of guys: I told Michelle and Ureka that this whole semester I've only seen two guys who are cute; one of them is gay, and the other most likely is too. So just now when we had dinner at Brooks, we sat there and watched people stream in the main door and tried to watch out for cute guys. After half an hour we did not spot a single cute guy.)
Omg I really cannot tolerate stupid and juvenile people.
And then on Friday night we went for a Gingerbread House Making contest. BUT NO ONE WANTED TO SHARE CRACKERS AND ICING, THE THINGS YOU NEED MOST TO BUILD A GINGERBREAD HOUSE. And the organizers were stupid also la they didn't think to get more supplies. Also, this group of girls (why do I suspect they are sorority girls? Nonono I mustn't be judgmental) hogged 2 boxes of crackers to themselves and refused to share. Their final product was this tall tower. And there was this other group that didn't use a lot of crackers but still managed to produce a beautiful trail (with powder at the side for a snowy effect) that led to a small house. We didn't stay long enough for the results (cos we were too pissed) but I hope the latter group won :-)
I think our house is quite outstandingly done, considering the fact that we used a cardboard box (which we took from McKinley's) and mayo lolol.
This weekend, instead of mugging hardcore for finals, I spent way too much time.... Watching Singaporean dramas on xinmsn ._.
I never knew watching Singaporean dramas could be so therapeutic, but as I devoured episode after episode, I laughed and laughed and snorted even though the plot lines were so cheesy and ridiculous. I watched Poetic Justice, the Channel 8 drama about investigative journalism – I think the existence of this drama is quite ironic actually, considering how government-controlled the media is in Singapore. Whether or not we will see an investigative news program soon in Singapore remains to be seen, but I highly doubt this will happen anytime soon.
But but but, I also watched Of Love & Hidden Charms and I loved it! I got somewhat miffed when Ming left and Marcus kisses Christel and she thinks happily to herself, "Well, when one door closes, another opens." Hey excuse me how can you be so fickle about your relationships?!?!?! But I really liked the show overall, I thought it was very cute. And Rebecca Lim is gorgeous /spasms I think it has been years since I've had a tangible reaction to a celebrity hahahaha. Oh and this is quite mean but I kept laughing during the show also because of Romeo Tan's (who plays Marcus) bad enunciation....... Omg I really cannot take it hahahhahaha I know it's quite mean but I just can't help it
Actually life is quite awesome <3
