Argh. Bloody computer just ate up my entire entry about today just as I was about to post it. I will remain calm and composed. Oh, how appealing the thought of flushing it down the drainage system seems now. Damned computer. Too tired to retype everything, oh well.
I'm completely burnt out. Spent the whole day walking to and fro. Reina, Ang, Shermain and I went to PS after school cos Reina wanted to get her hair cut at Reds, which I personally think is overpriced and overrated. Haha, managed to convince her to cut her hair at some place where money spent would be more worthwhile. Anyway, the rest of us went along mostly just for the sake of going out while we still could (before we got back our pathetically, sad term results). Most of our time was spent eating at KFC and just talking rubbish about school and people - the usual. Yeah, so after it all, Reina and I headed for Far East whilst Ang and Shermain went home. Heh, Reina ended up getting her hair cut at this styly looking salon while I sat at the side feeling bloody extra. 15 minutes later, I asked the stylist how long her cut would take and when he said "1 hour." I just up and went. Decided to take a walk around Orchard by myself for a change - something I haven't done in ages. It's refreshing to just to be able to walk around and be by yourself once in a while. I'm serious. Heh. You can more or less do what you want, whenever you want, as long as it's within the boundaries of sanity and social 'etiquette' because to be straight to the point - no one else around you gives a damn. You're just a stranger to them. You wanna sit down at the side of the road just for the sake of sitting down? Hell yeah. Walk around aimlessly with no purpose in mind, at your own pace? No problem. All options are just more or less open to you and to what you want to do because you've got no one's feelings or preferences to pay heed to.
So yeah, I walked and I enjoyed some sense of solitude even if it lasted for an average of half and hour, at the very least. Passed by Borders and got a book by Robert Jordan. He writes great books. No more, no less. Elizabeth Wurtzel is yet another eminent author, in my opinion. Prozac Nation was written by her and a movie based on it is currently in the works; long story, short - it's about the depressed and their emotional turmoil. Well-written and well-expressed. Yep, I got my purchase and made my way back to poor stiff-backed, Reina who was practically dying in her roll-chair. You know how it is when someone's cutting your hair and they tell you not to move your head and all, well yeah, don't you think it's funny how we always take it to mean "Don't move the rest of your body parts" either? Anyway, she was sitting damned straight, I tell you; so concerned that her haircut might be affected adversely if she even moved an inch. Haha, funny as hell. I sat down on the other roll-chair to rest my aching feet for a while more before deciding I was better off at home, taking a nice bath. So yep, I headed home, got some rest and slacked around. I don't feel like coming to school tomorrow. But there's choir. So I need a valid excuse, as usual. Shite. We'll see how things go.
