I have finally completed the UN Essay. Well, just the arguments and the main 'plots' and everything. I just have to fill in the case studies for each of the points, and I'm ready to submit to to Mr Loh by the 16th, I think. Yayness for that! :D
Did I mention that when I went home from school on Friday, I didn't realise that Friday prayers end at around 1.45pm? Yes it did. And I stupidly walked past the mosque, and it is only when I saw Muslim men walking around in baju melayu and songkok, that I realise that "Oh shucks. Why did I walk this route? Dammit." And so, I kind of have to look at the ground as I was walking because I didn't really want to look at dozens of men walking out from the mosque. Wrong move, because I saw familiar people there. Fareez, Farid and Firdaus. Fareez, one of my malay friends in MF. He was like, "Shakirah?" and gave me that what-are-you-doing-here look. Haha. It was that embarrassing, mind you. But, all cheers, peeps, cos he's still a lil bit shorter than me. Yippee!!! It's good to know at this age and time that there are still guys who are shorter than me. Cool uh? And further on down the road, as I turned back to wave at Fareez after we passed each other, guess what happened? This is even worse than the incident which happened in school in which when Isyah saw Danial, she told me that she saw him, and I kind of tripped on the canteen stairs. This incident which I'm gonna relate is totally more embarrassing than that. So, I mentioned that I waved at Fareez, and I didn't see the huge pillar in front of me. Yup, you guessed it. I bumped unglamorously on the pillar. Face to pillar. Woah..it was like oh my God, Fareez saw that. And I'm still feeling pretty embarrassed about it.
So, Farid also gave me that same look Fareez gave me. Ugh. Excuse me, the pavements outside the mosque is for public use, so why should I not use that? I just wished that at very moment,I could whip out my sunglasses and put them on where they belong. Dangs. Major public humiliation.
That's it for Friday. On Saturday, I finally watched Happy Feet!!!! Woohoo!! Nice movie, if you ask me. Better than that Madagascar crap or The Wild rubbish. Happy Feet seriously was fun! I enjoyed that movie tremendously. :D :D :D Though some protege of mine said that it was like a musical, and though I think so too, but I thought the way those penguins dance and sing were pretty cute!! Especially Mumble! I so want a Mumble right now! And I totally love Norma Jean's singing. Also, that tap dancing totally dig! Woohooo! At least me waking up early (6.30am for the record)just to catch the 10.15am show at TAMPINES MALL was worth it. Besides Mumble, those Amigos are a cute bunch. Especially the one with the crown on its head. You know there's this part in the end where Mumble kind of flew down from the ice berg in order to chase the ship? Yeah. The one where he said something like, "tell mum and dad that I tried?" Yes, that line? I think the line after that, where one of the cute Amigos said, "We are supposed to tell his parents that he brought us all the way her just to see him die?" is really striking. Witty penguins, I must say.
Then on Sunday, it was time to shop! And shop! At town. I bought new shoes, because, if you remembered, both pairs of mine got stolen. I saw the exact same shoes which I used to own 3 months ago, and I kind of wanted to get that pair, but I had to move on. So, I bought a Adidas shoes. It's blue and silver and all. And we went shopping for more items. Even my mum said to my dad that he must work hard to keep his job because we need him to support our splurges. Haha. My dad sighs everytime he has to take out his credit cards. Yes people, that's my dad. There's this time where I bought my brother a pencil box, a new one, and I showed it to dad in front of mum. And my dad was like, "Why buy again? He (my brother) got many pencil boxes already whut..." And my mum was like, "But don't have this type." Haha..very cute, Mum!
Then, after shopping, we headed home, where some of my relatives wanted to go to my house because they wanted to see my parents, who will be leaving for the pilgrimage in two weeks. And one of them was Abang Is' mum, nyaii Pau. She saw nougats nesting beside the teevee, and a whole tupperware of nougats, and she scooped them and put them in a plastic bag. Cheydebahh..this is what I call 'self-service'. Not bad, not bad...
Oh, I forgot to add, on Friday morning, at exactly 7.35am, I saw Civil Defence people on the Red Rhino. They are totally hawt!!!
Okies, I think that's it then. I think I'm heading off home now.
And now I'll go, "Thank God the UN essay is three-quarter done." Phew. It has been one helluva roller coaster ride for me. But the best holidays I've had so far, apart from the holidays overseas.
Now, I'm sending out applications for those who are interested in joining me for watching The Nativity Story. Dad thinks the story is crap, but I'll watch it anyway. If you're interested, come clean my house for a week and I'll consider bringing you along.
