This post was due yesterday:

Operation Save Okane (money)!

Sch's getting fun-ner and fun-ner by da day for some OBSCURE reason... Even tho I keep flunking my tests and midyrs are just next week, I find that I like sch more and more. ;D

But that doesn't change da fact that I still miss JJ ok!

On with da post:

Due to da heavy rain, PE was supposed to be cancelled. UNTIL some smart-aleck decided to remind Mr Whitepants that there's a gym in sch. =_= All da girls wanted to kill him mann. DUn get me wrong, I like PE. I just dun really like PT omgg. That smart-aleck even added, "Heyy let's see Cyao-i go gym" with that gross smile to match. I just looked away. Wow. I actually didn't roll my eyes. He's lucky mann. I haven't rolled my eyes for such a long time. I dun intend to start it again. Mr W did a great job killing my legs. After doing some walking exercises (as in with da machine, I climbed 9 storeys!!) my legs were beginning to feel a tad tired, I tot maybe I could cycle a little... You know, stress relief or something. BUT wonderful Mr W decided to make me cycle at 80 RPM for 1 full min (Note: by that time I had already cycled for abt 9 min). That I can do. Then he told me to keep my pace at 100 RPM for a full 10 min!! "If this *points to time on machine* doesn't reach 20 min, you dun get off da bike," He said. x_X My pace keep faltering and my feet kept slipping from da pedals too. Mr W even made an effort to check on me every 2 min or so. Omg those 10 min seemed like eternity. After that my legs were so numbed I kept walking into ppl! I felt like a robot with no knee joints. Thank god I stretched. My legs were spared today. Did some stretching, etc after that. Now my back hurts... Even straightening my backbone hurts the surrounding muscles. Well done, Cyao-i. You forgot to drink your protein drink again. =_= On da whole, we kinda enjoyed gym I guess, it wasn't just mundane running. ;))

Went for lunch at Hans with Nic and Rayner at Far East. Miss their fried rice! It was an eventful lunch xD According to Nic, Rayner got da shock of his life becoz I stole several mouthfuls of his iced tea and err according to her, got a wee lil bit... high. I must say, I wonder if I really just drinking sugar water...(where was da tea, baby? xD) I think we were bullying Rayner coz we were both speaking really fast and changing our topics every sec like what we always do. xD I asked if he had difficulty catching up with us. Haha! I bet he did mann!

Too bad we didn't get to walk-walk a bit around far east. I made a beeline for da Haru shop. Haru herself was there alone. She looked quite cute and very young-ish with her 2 neat plaids. Haha. She's really nice and friendly too. I was hopelessly looking for da Suzumiya Haruhi costume. It was...gone! Haru offered to help. ;)) Told me that they only bring in their costumes if we order 'em. She even asked if I wanted to see a photo of da Haruhi costume! It's 88 bucks only! I was elated mann. I tot she was gonna say 120 bucks or something... >< I lamented to Nic, tho, that I'll have to cut my hair shorter if I wanted to cosplay as Haruhi. Yes, I wanna cosplay, it has been something I wanted to do for such a long time! I must fulfill this promise I made to myself last year! Anywayys, Nic reminded me that if I cut my hair at da end of this year my hair might not grow fast and long enough to style for next year's prom! How could I possibly forget that there's grad nite next year?! I'm disappointed with myself. Sheesh. In any case, cosplay shopping list is priority! It's save money time, baby! (ok I think I've been speaking to Jo too often... I can almost hear her say, "Yeah-O, Baby!" HAHA! xDD

Went online and finally finally managed to catch up with OUR Haru!! (as in Jane Tan Haru, not da above mentioned Haru ya) Told her abt my lil 'trip' to da Haru shop. She commented that she should be given a discount! Haha! I second to that! It's not everyday you come across a shop that has your name on it righttt? Between Haruhi and Enma Ai (Jigoku Shoujo aka Hell Girl), Haru said that I should cosplay as Enma Ai. She even added that if she's free enough she can help me with my costume. So sweet of her! Coz her character is also gonna be clad in da Japanese sailor-uniform too. YAY!! But of course, I still have to save up save up save up!

Dedication
Ohhh yeahhh, I totally forgot to dedicate one part of my blog to Rayner for his help last fri! Went to Cineleisure to watch Ironman with Jo and him. Jo returned me change from our tickets so I took out my wallet to keep it. As we were rushing to da correct cinema hall, I didn't bother to keep my wallet. Da movie had already started so in da pitch darkness, I totally forgot abt my wallet. When da movie ended I had to rush to my grandparents' house. In all that rush, I dropped my wallet on da floor and didn't even know!

Worse, I didn't check for my wallet until Rayner and I walked to Somerset station (Jo went off to get something herself). That was when I realised that my wallet was gone. We rushed all da way back man - ok maybe not rush coz Rayner was walking so slowly but at least he helped carry my laptop until we reached da cinema. I was losing control over my tots already. And it didn't help that Rayner said that ppl born in da year of da horse will have bad luck this year. Thanks ar Rayner =_= Anywayys, he said there'll be 15 mins for da attendants to clean up da cinema before da next movie began so I asked da counter lady to notify da attendants. She did, but told us that they found nothing. Me: "Even everywhere around da seat? Under it?" Lady: "Everywhere." I freaked out.

It's ok if I lose my money, it's ok if I lose my ez-link card, but it'll be disastrous if I lost my IC!!

Da lady said I could choose to wait until da movie ended at 5.15pm then go in to search for it myself. It was 4.20pm then. "WHAT?! Cannot lah!" I exclaimed. But whatever lah, I must get my wallet back no matter what! In that 55 mins - which seemed excruciatingly long - I called my mum and yeah, got scolded like mad. I just sat down at da couch nearby and stoned. Then she called back and with her voice softening, said maybe I should pray. Mann, that was probably da most sincere prayer I ever said in my entire life mann. Rayner suggested I look around again coz he rmbed seeing my hands empty when I gestured to Jo before entering da cinema. I ran everywhere but couldn't find anything. Then I went to da 6th floor to ask that ticket-tearing person. Nope, nothing. When 5.15pm came, we went to inquire at the counter again. Da lady was like, "Dun ask me, you go upstairs to ask da person if you can go in da cinema!" We were like what the-- but went up anyway. Rayner explained to da ticket-tearing chap what happened and what da counter lady told us to do.

Nice chap: "5.15? But da movie is still on what."
Me: "But da lady said the movie ends at 5.15"
Nice chap: "Which hall did you go to?"
Me: "Hall 2, seat C 14-15"
Nice chap: *checks schedule* "Huh? but da movie for hall 2 is from 4.35 to 6.50 what." *checks schedule again* "Da lady must have told you wrongly."

WHAT?! We were so pissed ar, we could have gone in ourselves to check for my wallet becoz da next movie hadn't started then. She told us da wrong timing becoz she checked in da wrong hall. OMG. I felt so cheated. Da nice chap said he couldn't let us in as we didn't have our ticket stubs (they were with Jo) but agreed to check for us.

He came back with my wallet. ;))

I couldn't believe my eyes mann! My prayers were heard afterall! I was elated. I quickly called Jo and told her what happened. She was really sweet too. She made sure I called her back when I found my wallet. ;)) My words were all jumbled up coz I wanted to say so many things in one sentence, all tgt. Rayner later told me that whatever I said made no sense. He even quoted me. Yep, it was true. I didn't make any sense at all. I wondered if Jo actually understood what I said?! xD By that time it was alr too late for me to visit my grandparents coz I'd religious study that night. I felt really bad for Rayner coz he stayed with me all that while and didn't even complained. He was supposed to go to his dad's office somemore, but couldn't becoz we were waiting for 5.15 to come. >< I told him I'd dedicate a section of my blog to him. His rxn? "Thank god my parents dun read blogs." I was like "EH!"

I was so pissed with my own carelessness that I decided to ground myself for a month.

What an eventful afternoon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Jo wants me to un-ground myself so I can watch Made of Honour with her.

I think I'm a lil paranoid of cinemas for now... xD
