Lazy Day/St. Lawrence Feast Day/Admission Day (Missouri)
2004-08-10 @ 11:51 p.m.

I didn't watch The Village today, nor I, Robot, but I did have a hilarious time at dinner with Eugene and Claudia! I also bought a special edition of Songs About Jane, which I'm listening to now. My mum surprisingly made little fuss about my purchase this time around, despite my just having bought two CDs less than half a month ago. Trotted down to school around 2.30 pm to crash another Lysistrata rehearsal, since our class outing to Sentosa was cancelled. Small wonder, when nearly half the class was actually in school. Three at the Lysistrata rehearsal (Daniel, Jennifer, Eugene) and five at cheerleading practice (Liling, Kay Hwee, Allen, Yumun, Yee Meng). Plus me, just idling about, that's nine out of 20. Anyway, since I won't be able to make it for the opening of IFG tomorrow, I think, I caught the Arts Faculty routine, sans music. It looked good though! Will tell them that tomorrow. Lysistrata is hilarious! I'd pay $6 just to watch a particular scene that features Chong Lin, who doesn't speak at all. I leave it to your imagination what happens to her character in that scene. A pity the lines have to be sanitised though!

I simply have to record this for posterity. You see, I happened to walk past Vivien and Matthias outside LT1. She had the brilliant idea of having a "discussion on humanitarian issues", the first two items being cute girls in Humanities and cute guys in Humanities. This is where it gets so funny, you wonder how this can possibly happen on a daily basis in 1A13A. Let it be known that Vivien has a thing for bad boys. The example she raised? Yi-Xun. (I know, it's a really sad choice, but it's hers, not mine.) Without going into too much detail, suffice to say that if all chauvinists are bad boys, and girls like bad boys, ergo girls like chauvinists. A simple Venn diagram will clarify the point, which Vivien insisted was totally misinterpreted. So we were teasing her for quite a while about the whole "bad boy" thing. Frigging funny...

The dumbest thing that happened today wasn't Vivien's illogical discourse on bad boys, but a trudge through a field on the way to Holland Village. Aparna brought us by a new route, and there happened to be this field that we could cut through. The grass/weeds/stuff grows up till your knees! So there we were, five of us (Aparna, Claudia, Eugene, Kelly, me), thrashing our way through the field, while keeping an eye out for potholes and snakes. We are never going through that bloody field again. Period. Otherwise, the rest of the day was great fun! Aparna brought us to Rhapsody, which is a great place to shop for CDs should I ever develop a taste for independent artists. Spizza has a nice gelato dessert, which goes by the not-so-nice name of Lucrezia. Everything in the place has an Italian first name, which is kind of cool. So Claudia, Eugene and I dined there, discussing extremely bawdy and suggestive puns. Dying was definitely the leitmotif of our conversation. Eugene is quite perverse when he wants to be...
