our red parade /2:12 PM
So we have been excluded from the National Day celebrations by the school "a measure to control and confine the outbreak of swine flu". -.- But anyway, we didn't miss much I'm sure. In fact, I stayed back last thursday to mug in school with Zhi Wei, and we were joined by Eng Wei shortly after that.
Anyway, Zhi Wei, Pei Khee and I went out last friday to do up our GP presentation about this philosopher called Descartes and his school and thought what not. Gosh. A total dejavu of what we had to go through for 4 years under the philosophy syllabus our school has decided to integrate into our academic curriculum. And they even imposed this 'rule' that we would not be promoted provided we pass the subject. Great. Now it's back to haunt me... It's not that I don't enjoy philosophy. Just not in the midst of all this stress and gaga over mugging and the 'A' Levels. I'll probably read up abit on philosophy during my free time, given that it can be pretty interesting. Not now though.
Under the idea proposed by Pei Khee, the three of us decided to coordinate outfits and endorsed our red shirts and black jeans when we met up with one another. By the way, the red shirt was suggested by Zhi Wei, since she felt kinda patriotic at that time. Anyway, I think it's quite a cool concept (Pei Khee read this!), having not done it for such a long time. I think it makes the three of us look kind cute walking beside one another. LOL. :D
As recommended by Pei Khee (once again), we decided to camp in at the MOF restaurant at Raffles City, which apparently had no GST surcharge and free Wi-Fi. This obviously meant convenience, since we had to do our work and get something to fill our stomachs as well. So bascially my breakfast and lunch were settled there. I can't believe I went out of my house without having breakfast. Yes, that is another story too. I woke up at 7.30am that morning, but decided that it was too early for my liking and went back to laze on the bed. Bad decision, since that resulted in me sleeping all the way until 9.30am before taking just 8 minutes (record time to get ready I think) to dash out of the house in order not to be late. And OMG WE SPENT OVER $60 IN TOTAL THERE! No wonder our wallets were so empty then.
Anyway, being the people that we are (Zhi Wei would disagree), we camwhored abit, together with all the food that we ordered. OMG I LOVE THE FOOD!! :D Definitely one of the most delicious and authentic Japanese cuisines I ever tasted!
We later shifted our 'workplace' to the Esplanade Library, where we camwhored using the camera on Pei Khee's laptop with all the funny frames and special effects. LOL. And yes, there was a huge hassle over getting the wireless Internet connection in the library, which we later realized the reason why we could not get it was because Pei Khee entered the wrong username and password. Oh well, we still got our Internet connection in the end anyway.
On a side note, Pei Khee, please check your belongings before you go next time man... That Marc Jacob specs wouldn't be cheap to replace I reckon.
Whoever said we couldn't have our own red parade? Haha.
This was how much we spent (OMG!):
