the past week has been quite eventful, a pity since i've been too tired/lazy to blog much:

1. i signed up for driving! i still have to sit for the basic theory test on the 6th though, which means that i won't be a hazard on the roads anytime soon. which is probably a really good thing because i predict i'll be one of those irritating woman drivers who forget to indicate and make crazy swerves every few minutes to avoid knocking down old ladies or driving up dividers. i'm not a good candidate for driving so i suspect my mom is only encouraging me because she wants me to take over the job of chauffering people around. i bet my parents will never even let me touch their cars till i'm like 30 or something. OH and i nearly failed the eyesight test, which is the step that's even BEFORE registering for the theory test. because there were like a sequence of Es rotated through 360 degrees, so that they looked like M 3 W to me. so when the woman asked me which direction the E was facing, i was like 'there's no E! there's only a 3!!' and then she looked at me really weirdly and was like 'maybe you want to try again'. at which point i saw this sign right next to the test machine which said "E: facing right. M: facing down" and so on. since half the room was already looking at me after i insisted there was NO E after the first try, that was quite embarrassing, yes.

2. my back surgery's been put off! yay. actually i'm seeing this chiropractor now who's supposed to manipulate my spine till it's almost straight again. i'm not sure if i believe him but i guess it's worth a try. the only problem is that he says that people like me have "enzyme deficiencies" which means that our bodies can't absorb certain enzymes which results in our spine being screwed. really!!! and so to correct this i'm supposed to go on some shitty "alkalanarian diet" which is shitty because it only includes vegetables and salmon and trout and tofu and legumes and NOTHING ELSE. so i'm supposed to stop eating bread and cheese and anything dairy and meat and processed stuff and fruits- basically everything that tastes good is bad. :( :( :( :( :( i bet even cows get to eat better stuff! :(

3. having a christmas party on saturday! me and erica are organzing one for our classmates at my place and the theme's RETRO. don't ask me why but we just thought it'd be cool. haha. anyway we're sure not everybody will come so if you're reading this and you know me and you'd like free food on christmas eve, send me an sms or something! 'tis the season to be jolly, after all :)

4. went out with iris and darryl and mingkai on tuesday and we ended up going to the esplanade to rent movies cos darryl smartly forgot to buy tickets for king kong sneaks earlier. and while we were browsing through the titles i saw this one called "the Thin Man" and i was like, 'hey darryl, isn't this what you want to be?' and then he burst out in really HUGE LOUD laughs and the librarian came over and told us to shut up. and after that we got told off again when we found this vcd called "Since You Went Away" and darryl was making fun of me and iris. so we nearly got thrown out of the library. how embarassing omg. we're like a bunch of 3 year olds or something ugh.

5. someone's booking out on friday! finally!!! i was initially really sad about the whole 2 weeks shit especially since it's like the christmas season and it's supposed to be happy and full of celebrating with favourite people and stuff, but i'm ok now :) too bad his phone has already run out of battery so he can't call anymore though :( oh and apparently paul says he looks sexy with 1 micrometre of hair. i think it'll take some getting used to but luckily i liked david beckham when he went skinhead so i think i'm partial to people with no hair. can't wait to see for myself though!
