*028 - costumes

We danced with the clogs today and created quite a racket everywhere we went! I was so so so tired (and filthy) after that, but had to sprint off to J8 to buy $160 worth of tops for the gym concert.

Oh yeah, something hilarious: I was trying on an ‘M’ sized top and I nearly exploded out of it because it was SO TIGHT. So I passed it over to Melissa and to our horror it was tight for her too! [You know the world is ending when anything medium-sized is tight for Melissa.] We were stressing out about the whole issue and wondering what size the rest of us would have to wear, when we realised instead of taking medium, I had accidentally grabbed extra-small. Hahaha whoops.

We gobbled down our lunches in a frenzy after that and galloped back to school (ok, maybe brisk-walked)! But Amy and I still ended up 1 hour late for Xinqin’s dance, Melissa ended up 1 hour late for Zhixu’s, plus a stitch for me and Melissa, and two for Amy ): Boohoo!

I was terribly unenthusiastic during the prac because of a headache and general fatigue ): Bleugh I feel so bad, I think I should sleep more so I can put in 100% into everything I do! After all, I know I can’t stand it when people roll on the ground and refuse to budge when I want them to practise.

Traipsed up and down Arab Street after all thatwith Xinqin and Beatrice (sort of, because we split up). Bought sequins galore, tassels, rhinestones, cloth, cloth and more cloth. Oh oh oh I bargained for the cloth!! Even Mummy the Bargain Queen admitted that I was very pro. I paid about three quarters the price I should have. Teehee! It must have been my big doe eyes. On second thoughts, it was probably my incessant whining that pissed him off and forced him to relent. Well, whatever works :D

And while walking to my busstop from there, I saw the strangest fountain outside a restaurant – it had naked Barbies sitting in it. Hmm.


Thank goodness I didn’t buy any food from Arab Street, because when I got home I discovered a plateful of curry and naan awaiting me :D So I’m happily full but sadly fat, and I better go take a bath because I stink powerfully.
