*429 - what I've been up to for the past week

Monday
Didn't do any triples ): But we stretched so much that I actually ached the next day! That felt good. And I remember the choreo (we practised in the swimming pool)! :D

Tuesday
Don't even need to explain what happened. Hahaha. Oh, except that this time our origami was better because I gave Maddy her little birthday present - real Japanese origami paper (very pretty!) and a little origami book (written in Japanese).

A different low fat flavour every week:


Maddy does not do "cutesy Jappie girl" very well:


She is a good photographer, however. I love how she took this picture of me looking kind of like an alien:


My penguin in Maddy's hands:


Maddy's "pecking bird" in my hands:


Wednesday
Met Becky aka Bim/Bo. So happy to see her :D And I had so much fun! We realised we're only extremely Bim/Bo when we're together. I'm quite level headed and remarkably intelligent normally, right? Righttt? Hahaha.

And even though we see each other only a few times a year, I'll definitely miss her when I leave ):

Back to school haircuts!




Before:


After:


My freaky glowing orange noodles (and they didn't even taste exceptional in any way, good or bad! What's the point of having funky looking food that doesn't taste funky):


Becky so cute (and prettyyy):


My "after" hair actually is a lot a lot shorter than before, but I still look the same from the front because it was an unexciting haircut. I think short-ish hair sucks because you can't do funky things to your hair, all I can do now is to let it down, and I can't even tie it up into a ponytail because the tail's very short and thin in a silly way. Oh well, I'm aiming to cut my hair minimally in the US because haircuts are allegedly quite expensive there. Nat or Yogi shall have to cut my hair for me. (HAHA)

Thursday
Met up with my trusty Boyfriend #2. Her hair sooo long and wavy! Whereas mine's all cropped off now ): Had a nice time talking/GOSSIPING heeheehee! (And we need to follow up on our GOSSIP/secret plan. HMM.) Everyone going to SMU is so lucky cos she's a reaaallly good friend to have! BOOHOO LIRUUUUU.


(I realise this is probably a better representation of what my hair looks like now. Wow it is kind of short.)

Yesterday
Swimming with Maddy (heehee I love Maddy) where I made progress and swam HALF a lap of freestyle before I drowned. But I think freestyle is not for me, like Jingwen said, because it's very explosive whereas I'm the slow graceful sort. I think I was made to swim leisurely, preferably in froggie style.

We made friends with an angmoh lecturer who thought we were new staff he had never seen before (we were sitting in the staff area) and he was surprised to find out who I was. We later played foozball, two of us against him, with Maddy and me (but mostly me) screaming our lungs out every time the ball moved, until I got rather wheezy and sweaty, and in the end, we lost quite dramatically. This marks my second attempt at foozball and I conclude that I have not improved since the first, and, I really suck at it.

Feasted on crab after that with the strangest mix of friends yet. It was really amusing especially when it came to the freak show. It's hard to explain in words so pictures next time.

Today
I have to go out soon to collect stuff from EB and meet Nat so we can make our way to meet the other Singaporean Cornellies, so exciting! But I haven't even brushed my teeth hoho I think I shall do that now.
