But for all my procrastination, I feel like I finally know what I want. I can see the outlines (vague as they are) of my future. Good lord, is this an age-17 epiphany?
This week was pretty eventful though - yes, in between beating myself up over my absolute lack of completed work and lazing around on the couch, I actually managed to get out of the house and do something. If you're reeling in shock right now, please close your mouth because I really don't want to know your opinions about how pitiful you'd thought my social life would be (and as I type this sentence out, I am suddenly reminded of the time someone said my writing was snarky because this is a moment of dawning realisation and I would like to console myself with the fact that it's a coming of age thing but really I'm just a self-fulfilling prophecy; and also this is a really long sidenote, I should stop).
Ok weekly rundown!
Thursday was a day for satay hurray!
Frankly, I'm getting a little pissed off as I look at this picture. THE SATAY WAS BEYOND CHARRED?? Or at least 2 sticks were inedible. And we should have gotten them replaced at once but no, Thursday was a day of shyness, unassertiveness (if such a word exists HA) and unspoken satay regrets. But to be fair the other 8 sticks were tiny shreds of heaven so-
After that was watching the xmas lights (I'm sorry if that wasn't a very smooth transition between abrupt changes in topics #sorrybutnotsorry), and we pretty much bumbled along Orchard aimlessly actually. And I have absolutely no idea why, but I'm crazy stuck in the xmas mood this year, and all I keep getting from Starbucks and CBTL is peppermint, peppermint, and more peppermint flavoured drinks. THE ODDEST THING IS THAT I USED TO HATE PEPPERMINT.
But Thursday was happy happy happy.
Saturday was brunch at Chock Full of Beans hurray and my mother has managed to sway me into getting hot drinks all the damn time. But thank god for hot drinks really, because they have pretty amazing coffee art at that cafe.
I mean, LOOK at my Honey Matcha:
And my sis and I launched into this mini debate (which was really an argument) about whether that was Rudolph or a reindeer. Clearly my sis has yet to learn about Venn diagrams because the last time I checked, Rudolph was a red-nosed reindeer. And red-nosed or not, IT'S STILL A DAMN REINDEER.
Also, I watched Notre Dame de Paris!!!
Sometimes, I'm not really sure if I'm glad that my sister has eccentric tastes like mine or if I'm slightly despondent from the fact that I've managed to influence a guileless kid into the ways of the weird. But Notre Dame de Paris was very very very wonderful. In fact, I think it's better than Phantom of the Opera (which was way too draggy and I sort of fell asleep halfway). Notre Dame was very dark and twisted (DISNEY MOVIE IT IS CLEARLY NOT), and maybe that is precisely why I fell in love with it. And I gave my first ever standing ovation for it!!! Actually, second, but I'm thinking that the first one doesn't count (which was for Wicked btw) because I pretty much stood for one second before I plopped down from the stress of peer pressure. But Notre Dame was different!! Because I was adamant that I had to give a standing ovation at least once in my entire lifetime so I stood and clapped like a madwoman, with utter disregard for the people that sat behind me (but boo for them, because Notre Dame DESERVES that standing ovation, and they should have stood too!!). The theatre was pretty empty though, but I blame the lack of publicity and this poster:
Yea, real enticing.
Sunday (or today) was the day I woke up at 11am like a freaking queen at MBS, and had steak for brunch.
Also went to the Bookfest and got myself 4 books all under 10 bucks. Trudged around with my lumpy backpack and I think I should get full marks for dorkdom.
