daddy and mrt!

heh my dad took mrt today! wow. he NEVER takes public transport. and it was so funny! he kept calling me to ask which line to take. haha. and when he came home? he gave me 2 standard tickets to redeem the deposit for him. hahahaha. how funny. i just find it amusing that he went out of his comfort zone (very comfortable zone - mercedes) to take the train at peak hour.

anw, had the final 1103 biodiversity exam at nus today. i think open book exams are really fun and hilarious! =) hahaha. it was like essay questions focusing on one phyla of organisms eg. cnidarians, then flip to that particular chapter and start copying for all you're worth! haha i almost laughed out loud. so much nicer than those bio exams we used to take, had to mug and memorise like hell, and then regurgitate, and along the way surely forget some detail or another, then break out in cold sweat. haha. i LOVE open book exams. all i studied was where each section was in the textbook, and roughly recognise each grp of organisms. haha.

and well, renovations at my house officially began today. the contractor came to pray and symbolically knocked off a piece of wall. the real work will begin the following week. after my paper, cabbed to the contractor's office to select my room colour (he's going to specially mix the exact shade of brown for me!), and cupboard/shelf/table colour. etcetc. i quite like my new room colour scheme - dark brown, and white/cream. i want a pink-brown/grey mosaic on one wall in my toilet, but apparently pink isnt a popular colour cos i havent been able to find premixed mosaic tiles that tickle my fancy. ohwells. the rest of the house will hopefully turn out nice, gonna have a whole new kitchen! haha yeah. but actually apart from the bedrooms and the kitchens, there wont be much changes really to my house. most of the $ is going towards waterproofing and electrical rewiring. ohwells will update more on the works as it progresses.

dance nite dance nite! haha i bought new pointe shoes today, cost me almost $50. hais. so ex. for 4 performances in a few weeks time. but my old ones are really too soft alr, no support for my feet. broke broke broke. and i had to buy a new water bottle today cos my old metal one (that looks like a bomb or so my mum says) is rusted. i've been drinking rusty water! hahaha. sighs. poorness. my job must must start soon! i've been vvv tempted to buy shoes. but i absolutely refuse to spend more money haha. so far i've only been able to afford maybe $20 a week on shopping or savings. and this wk, overspent! esp since my cousin came and i was expected to take her around n eat nice things and all... sigh.
broke.
