i finally changed the chains of my braces today after like, 4 months! but now my teeth hurt like hell :/ i HATE chains! so anyway, A LOT of things happened this week, quite cool!

tuesday: went down to town with maxine to check out drumming courses. plaza sing first, then balmoral plaza. and then i had to walk her down to the newton mrt station! it was damn scary, walking back to alliance by myself after that to wait for my sisters to pick me up, what with the road workers and the mormons coming out of their church. i went to check out fees at alliance since i was there, but the place is so unfriendly lah! first, there was the stupid receptionist who just handed me the brochure and went back to her computer game. and then, it was the stupid user-unfriendly vending machine which i wanted to get food from. i inserted my coins and then couldn't find any 'enter' button or something that i could press after keying in the number of the food. so i started pressing every other button that didn't have numbers, and finally the vending machine gave out my coins back to me instead of the food i wanted :/ anyway, cluny court/serene centre for grocery shopping after that with the sisters. i saw nathan hartono, hahaha! and i fell in love with the cold storage at cluny court cos i finally found my cinnamon toast crunch!!!

wednesday: 987 school invasion tour. it was during upper sec assembly, so the sec 1s & 2s missed it, poor things. the muttons came, with west grand boulevard & cardinal avenue. and the nokia bus, hahaha! erm, cardinal avenue was really boring, although i think that's cos no one's heard of them. the drummer was pretty cool though. WGB after that, everyone was just swooning over the lead singer. and the guitarist was damn cool! but i think only the sec 3s sitting in front were high, in the whole entire hall. about 4 teachers were left by the middle of it, quite funny. so the bands hung around at the nokia bus after that, and everyone was just crowding around WGB, asking for autographs and taking photos with them. cardinal avenue just stood at the other end of the bus, talking amongst themselves. poor things! but yeah, i was guilty of crowding around WGB too, waiting to take a photo. all because of sarah mao!

idol at night. mariah carey week, quite gross. david cook was back! no more cocky, guitar-playing, rock song-singing/belting, which he has been doing these past few weeks. instead, he changed up always be my baby. obviously it worked out, and it rocked. it was quite the bomb actually, i thought it was even better than lionel richie's hello. and he cried after that, but i still have no idea whether or not it was fake. archuleta sang when you believe. it was good lah, duh, but again, it was all kinda boring. jason was quite good this week too, but nothing amazing. everyone else kinda just sucked. it sucked without michael. there was just something missing from the whole thing. the aussie accent, the nice character with the cool attitude, the voice which was kinda rock-ish, kinda soul-ish. aaaah, i miss michael johns!!!

thursday: kristy got kicked out. FINALLY! for more than a month, probaby even 2 months now, i've been waiting for this moment! it was the perfect bottom 3, with syesha and brooke in it too. but i was surprised that brooke was in the bottom 2 along with kristy. but whatever, kristy was the person i wanted eliminated out of idol so badly, for the longest time. due to go next: syesha! these 2 have been such lucky asses, i tell you. season finale of grey's after that. didn't get my usual atmosphere of being the only one awake at home and being able to watch in peace and cry. in fact, the atmosphere was the entire opposite of what it normally is. i felt like crying and everything, but i wasn't able to cry at all. it was so sad lah! with george failing his internship exam when he was supposed to go to mercy west! and he didn't even say anything to izzie after she told him that she loved him. and calli becoming chief, and not bailey. and alex not hooking up with either addison ( i still hope she really gets together with tim daly's character in private practice, heh) or jane doe. i should really try to rent all 3 seasons during the hols.

only revising-for-exams thing i've done so far is the 8 pages for SS i read. even then, it's not like it's actually counted as revising is it? i probably hafta re-read it the day before the exam, if i even have the time at all. i suck, i really do. but somehow i can never find myself with nothing else to do. i seriously have NO idea how others are able to manage their time so well. also, i procrastinate very badly. i wanted to finally start studying on monday since everyone else started weeks ago, but instead i ended up clearing my table. ohmygosh, what the hell is wrong me?! i'm probably gonna face a pre-mature mid-life crisis sometime within the next 2 years. exams start in like, 6 days? i'm gonna die so badly :/

btw, i think i might actually be able to fulfil my dream of learning to play the drums (:
