CAs ended on wed, and since totally ruining any chances of ever becoming a surgeon, a number of things have happened to me:

1. MY HAIR HAS BEEN CHOPPED OFF!

horror, shock and awe! i can't believe it myself. i was out shopping with my sister the whole of thursday, and midway through our wisma escapade, i saw this promo outside The Scene hair salon. it said- SPECIAL PRICE $29.40 for students, 11am-5pm only. that, plus the fact that i have been needing a hair cut since like before cny, struck me as a sign that it was time to do it. i absolutely HATE cutting hair- one, because from young i've felt like crying everytime my long hair becomes shorter (i don't know why), and two, because nothing good ever comes out of haircuts. i always end up looking either the same, or uglier, which is usually the case because to me, nothing can ever make up for the length of hair which i have just been deprived of.

so i tell the stylist my usual request, which is to cut around "1 inch" and layer it. he asks me if i want 2 inches off instead because 1 inch wouldn't make much of a difference, and i tell him to keep the length and that i don't want it "too short". i've had way too many experiences with sneaky stylists who say they'll take 2 inches, and instead take 3. and i dislike it VERY MUCH. anyway, throughout the whole process i see massive amounts of hair being sheared away, and i suspect that more than 1 inch is being removed, which makes me panic a little inside. but i try to keep it together because i figure he's just helping me acheive a more 'layered' look. in fact, from the front the fringe and all look pretty good, so i tell myself that there's no reason to fear. however, when he finally takes out the mirror to let me see the view from behind i'm like OMFGGGGGG. my hair which was almost at my waist is now barely shoulder length!!! that's like, 5 fucking inches you moron! to make things worse, it appears he has gone overboard with the layered look, and hence i now look like some jap schoolgirl.

i am hating this new look immensely muchly.

2. candy empire

to ease some depression, my sis and i took a long trip to vivo, and blew most of our bucks at candy empire. we wanted to buy clothes, but could find nothing nice, and so we used the money on food instead. we had dinner at a very chic corduroy cafe where the seaview and plush sofa chairs were really cool, plus we bought back icing-topped cupcakes and cookies. yum! then we headed to candy empire, where the damage amounted to one huge bag full of belgian wafers, cookies, jellybeans, chocolates, sugar-coated almonds, and various other sweet things. oh, and we got the money from the remainder that my dad had given me for my trip to the dentist earlier in the day, which involved getting a filling on a tooth which had a hole that was trapping food and sugar. heehee =x i guess it's time to stop forgetting to brush before bed!

3. brewerkz

yesterday mark and i had our first proper date in like a really long while. we walked about at clarke quay and tried to get a place at cafe iguana, but apparently the wait for a table for 2 on friday night is between 45mins to 1 hour. eventually we got an indoor table at brewerkz, which quickly turned out to be much nicer than i ever expected. we had ribeye steak and cuban sandwich and lots of fries, plus a few drinks ;) i've never liked beer but now that i've tried some for the first time in ages, i do think i might have to start changing my mind on it. how unglam though! anyway my sauvignon blanc was quite excellent too, and mark appeared to be on the verge of his own conversion when he tried mine. all in, it was a super night out :) and i was not tipsy! no i was not was not :D

more later!
