I'm officially 24.
I don't like the sound of that, but I can't pretend I don't feel older. I think that changing jobs, getting a degree and getting your heart trampled on, tends to have a maturing effect. I don't know man, it could just be me.
My birthday was spent doing run-of-mill stuff. We went for a buffet at Royal Plaza on Scotts, where I absolutely stuff myself silly. Talk about guilty pleasure. It was my second time there and I think I can consider a third time there since it is pretty affordable given the range of food available. Right smack in Orchard too! I like!
Right after my birthday, I plunged into 2 weeks of intensive, gruelling school work. My second last module and a complete waste of time, may I add. Contemporary Pop Culture aka Gossip Rag Mag. We watched movie clips (we always watch movie clips!) and talk about Hollywood, Bollywood and East Asian Super Stars. Fun, but why am I doing this in my DEGREE course again?
Project was researching about Bruce Lee's influence and essay on fairy tales affecting today's culture. I love my course; my latest module just confirmed it. I'm studying New Communications Technology, for crying out loud. My lecturer filmed our introduction last night and asked us why we wanted to do this course and our answers are:
1. for survivial
2. shortest & cheapest way to degree
3. armtwist into taking it
4. need a ticket out of a deadend job
What a fun bunch my class is... I think they are running out of ideas on course subjects, yet unwilling to earn a few thousand dollars less off each student. Hence the crappy courses I'm taking now. Which makes me wonder if my degree will be all that recognised...
Anyway, I've rebonded my hair (byebye flyaways) and gotten an awesome nail job on my hands for Elsie's wedding in 3 days' time. Pretty exciting and I'm not even the one getting married! I freaking need a dress - Farand suggested a classy dress, for the dinner cos... yes, yes, because of him. But he really doesn't mean anything to me now, so why do I want to waste that kind of money?
He won't regret his decision, so it would be silly of me to get all worked up. But I still wanna look pretty cos I like looking pretty la! Haha...
