a really cool thing just happened to me! my mom has been asking me to give her the stack of stuff that came in the NUS admission package for the past few days, and i've been saying don't worry i have all the papers they'll be there when we need them. except, of course, that i'd lost the original letters of offer and some other important documents but i've just been too lazy to search for them. and then, just 1 minute ago, i turned around and saw the whole stack lying on top of the plastic storage crate behind me! talk about miracles. i don't think i've ever had a stroke of luck quite as lucky and undeserving as this one :p

on saturday i caught pirates and i must say that it's really johnny depp and orlando bloom who save the movie. of course, i have always been a depp fan because i love everything about him, except maybe his apparent lack of photogenic-ness at times. orlando, however, has been more of a questionable character, especially since we all know him as the legolas in tights who will forever be overshadowed by aragorn in the masculinity department. so, the good news here is that he gets to do more actual sword fighting, AND he gets to wear a leather coat. i've discovered that i have a weakness for men in leather coats- orlando in pirates, brad pitt at the ocean's 12 premiere, and of course aragorn in LOTR. my favourite scene in the entire trilogy is the one where aragorn bursts through the doors at Helm's Deep with his sexy i'mtheman swagger! it just oozes mojo, i swear. the best thing is that i have the series on DVD so i can keep rewinding it and watching that scene over and over again, haha. all boys should be educated on how to walk the aragorn walk!

so, apart from gushing like a hopeless fangirl, the rest of the week has been quite slack. my sunburn has progressed from painful to itchy like hell, and it looks as if someone put my arm in an oven and baked it. i have like the ugliest tan line ever, but the good thing is that if i have a tan line it means i have a tan! now i am determined to go swimming regularly in order to maintain this healthy glow. i went gymming yesterday by myself but thanks to parental paranoia about suspicious figures in the neighbourhood, plans to run outdoors were thwarted. then when i got to the pool i was feeling just a tad too lazy and too unsporty to slip in for a quick dip. looks like this is going to take more willpower than i might be able to muster up...

anyway, i'm in a sianified mood right now cos i'm still waiting for driving test dates to become available quickly so that i can take the bloody test already and get my license. plus, me and walker have confirmed that boys have the same modus operandi when they're multitasking ie talking to girlfriends and gaming. the same lengths of silence, intermitten grunts, and the occassional vague comment to throw us off from the fact that they're not really paying attention. maybe i should take up some nerdy hobby like playing a harp or something, and then become addicted to practicing it 24/7 and see how that's like. HMM!
