finally back in Vancouver for the summer. it's been reaaaally chill so far, cos for once i don't have to look for a job. this is the first time i've went into summer actually having a job. go me! so yeah, i've been lazing around, driving my bros around & of course, watching shows. XD i'm waiting for the package from Citibank to arrive so i actually know what to expect of my job. and what the dress code is so i can start planning my OL (office lady) clothes. saddd. bought some black heels yesterday, but i'm not looking forward to wearing them to work everyday. O_O
my prize from Ella (Koon) came today! it was a big black shirt from her official site. like it has the site address in front & a drawing of her on the back. like...okayyy. she sent me an e-mail & a facebook message telling me to take a pic & post it on facebook so i could make her fans jealuz lol. apparently it's a "limited edition" t-shirt that not many ppl have. i wonder if i can sell it... honestly i wouldn't wear it out cos it's too big for me & i'm not a mega fan haha. but it's cool that she actually gave out prizes & sent personal e-mails/messages i guess. :)
just finished watching Shine on You (青出於藍) yesterday. it's an old (2004) show about teachers/students/principals etc. i thought it was kind of heart-warming but not overly-preachy, as you can imagine a show about education can be. it really reminded me of our sec school days - endless bantering with friends, hanging out in the canteen, pouring over textbooks, cheering the class on during competitions, keeping one another sane during exams...too bad i didn't have any teachers who made a really big impression on me haha. but regardless, i guess the message was that there is a kind of realness when you're in school that you can't find anywhere else.:) from university to the workplace, the world just seems to get faker & faker, doesn't it? but any place before uni is like a different world, one where you're allowed to make mistakes & can learn & grow together. so what i'm really saying is...ARGH WHY DO I HAVE TO BE OLD?! ;_______;
oh yeah, i just learned that one of my friends from high school got married in March. like WTH. well i can't say i'm surprised, given her personality, but STILL. i wonder if she even told her parents about it beforehand. O_O i sincerely hope it doesn't end with a divorce. i don't know how old her husband is, but i really can't imagine getting married at age 20 when you're still in school. if she starts popping out babies next, i think i might faint. DDD:
anyway, my aim for now shall be to learn to play rock band. play well, i mean. :D played for the first time with my bros today & they said i sucked. -.- i got like 72% on the drums okay! and they wouldn't let me buy any clothes. PFFT. it's quite a cool game really. i wonder if my hands will hurt tomorrow from gripping the drumsticks too tightly. O_o
