Of Lollies & Farewells

Oh, the peace that comes with a weekend!

The following pics are from Nadia's farewell party.. hmm not posting up any pics of Nad out of respect to the not publicly displaying her head without headscarf thing.. :)

Me & Tse Mun .. pic is way too dark.. but oh well haha, if you turn up your brightness & contrast stuff... it's actually quite a nice picture! :D

Denise's new bracelet from Kuching!

Me & Denise - Denise without specs! Yay! Time to wear contact lenses!

Tse Mun said she would kill me if I posted up this picture on my blog, but I couldn't resist, I liked the concept of the bubble so much -- so if I don't blog for a while, you'll know what happened to me! Hehe!

One of my other best friends - Pei Lee! Known her since I was 11, she's the sweetest thing!

So, how did this week go? I think only 2 interesting things happened: Econs presentation (already blogged about this) & a surprise lollipop from mi amorrr Shern Ren! Heheeee I'm so thick, really, I should have guessed when he texted me on Tuesday & asked me which class I was in -- but the element of surprise was really neat!

Of course, it was REALLY EMBARASSING when the delivery people came barging in during Accounts lecture, and I didn't realise what was happening, except that everyone was calling out my name. I was doing the ledgers and getting more confused, see, and then I had to go and walk up to the door and while I was thinking "Uh-oh, Sha-Lene, what did you do now?" -- the delivery fellow gave me a lollipop. I was so blur. Then I saw who it was from, then it was like Hey! NIICE! AND it's part of this Charity Drive thing that's going on at college.

Thank you, mi amor! :D

Besides that, ESL on Thursday was exhausting. Why, you ask? Because Mrs Banu asked me to write the WHOLE ISSUE ANALYSIS OUTLINE on the whiteboard! Imagine my shock when she said, "Has nobody done anything? Sha-Lene, write your outline on the whiteboard." I think I was up there for FORTY MINUTES, with my handwriting getting uglier and uglier by the moment. And while the rest of my friends (and Mrs Banu) were happily analyzing my handwriting ("Look at that, hahaHahah, she can't be a teacher next time" & "Oi Sha-Lene, why your handwriting getting smaller and smaller?")... I was hogging up class time. Felt so guilty.

Apparently, my team was the only team who actually DID the outline (Animal Experimentation) -- and I didn't even do anything, Li Shan did everything. Ming & Buford were reminiscing primary school days, Laura was trying to help Li Shan, Li Shan was doing all the work, and I was dunno doing what. Helping Li Shan & half-listening to Ming, I think.

Thursday's Moral Quiz sucked. Hong Ting is an expert cheater mann! Hahah! Really respect him for how skilled he is. I studied, but I found that I still couldn't answer half the questions there. Hmm... I think it was because I accidentally left out a couple of pages of reading! Ish.

Today, I went to Asia Cafe & chatted with An Nie over a plate of 'char koay teow'. Saw Mrs Banu & another lecturer there! Hehehee!! I find it so fascinating to see teachers out of school! I'm so not used to it! But I guess my classmates are hinting that they feel the same way whenever they see me outside college.. i.e."OH MY GAWD DID THE LIBRARY EXPLODE TODAY?" jokes.

Hi-tea at CampusCity on Thursday was fun! Didn't really feel spiritually enlightened this time, but got to say hi to some college mates that I don't usually see around campus.. catch up with them... food was good too.

Unfortunately, the guy who was speaking threw in a very lousy comment right before we could dig in -- "Well, as usual, ladies first -- but please, leave some for the guys! You know, girls nowadays arh.. *making gelojoh imitations*"... oh my goodness... I felt like swinging my two-tonne bag at him so that he'd be knocked unconscious. I haven't felt so incredibly annoyed at someone in so long; I really felt like hurting him.

Because of what he said, lots of my girl friends didn't want to eat after that. Well, not so much as they didn't want to eat -- they didn't want to take food, and ate off my plate instead. Did he even realise the effect that his snide comment would have on teenage girls? I wanted to change from sneakers into three-inch heels and crush his foot on purpose. Like, oh my goodness, I still feel so irritated when I think about it now... like eurghhh.. the next time I go to CampusCity and he extends his hand for me to shake, I am not going to take it! Assuming I remember his tarty little face!
