AAAH!!!
I watched Prince Caspian with Rachel yesterday! It was a good day :) Even though I had to get up early to survive 4 hours of the PSC Psych Test in the morning, that was NOT the nicest start to a day, but as long as it gets better along the way, I'm not complaining!
Rachel quite poor thing, hahaha. Cos we were supposed to go Vivo City together after her lifeguard training, which ended around 2. So we went off and along the way, it went something like this>>
Rach: Eh you know how to get to Vivo right?
Me: Yeah, erh, Harbourfront station! Can take train.
Rach: Isn't there a direct bus?
Me: Oh yeah! Shit, I forgot what number and the bus-stop. Ask someone!
Rach: (on phone with lifeguard friend) Hello eh, how d'you get to Vivo by bus? 166? From which stop? HUH, THE ONE OUTSIDE THE BACK GATE???
Me and Rach: NOOOOOO!!! D8
Cos we had already walked all the way out the front gate and across the road to the bus-stop on the Holland V side in the hot hot sun and had to walk back in to the back gate, aiyo... Then as we were walking back to school, Rachel said something about her coach and lifeguard people going to Vivo also and taking his car and maybe she should call her coach, so as our luck would have it, Rachel suddenly pointed at a car that was driving past and went, "EH THAT'S MY COACH! AND THE LIFEGUARD PEOPLE! EH! EHHH!!!" and they all pointed at us through the windows and laughed. Haha, our lives are full of ironic moments, I don't know why. Funny, yes, but still quite frustrating, hahaha! Rachel was quite hysterical about it, she kept making distressed and wailing noises along the way while I tried to pacify her, haha. It's ok Rach! You had ME! :D Gosh what a consolation right...
Apart from discovering a new way to get to Vivo, we also discovered how irritatingly difficult it is to decide on a place to eat there. It always seems so hard to decide what to eat when you're in the most dire need of food, we were starving at the directory but we STILL couldn't decide where to go. So in the end, we went to buy Prince Caspian tickets first, and then decided to just plonk ourselves at the first food place we saw afterwards and that was (oh fanfare!) Carl's Jr. =_= Yeah, fast food. Whoopee. But I guess it was good since we got our food quickly (so we didn't starve forever), we got to study there for awhile (YES, I APPALL MYSELF, STUDYING EVERY DAY GOSH! even though i got distracted and started doodling at one point in time, BUT STILL), and then since it was so near the cinema, we could just get up at the last minute and run over to the theatre with time to spare! I like it when my days go like that. Even though I don't plan or schedule things out (and in spite of some screw-up moments haha), they all just fall into place as they should. No wonder we always end up winging it a lot whenever I go out with Rach and Viv, haha.
I refuse to turn this paragraph into a movie review of Prince Caspian so I will just say hurrah! I'm so glad I watched it and even though I didn't like some parts, overall it was wonderful eye candy :D And no, I am not referring to Prince Caspian. I concede he is not bad, but my eye candy refers to three things: settings, effects, and Skandar Keynes, HAHA. Feels like Sec 3/Sec 4 all over again, how nice to feel young and (relatively) carefree, even if only for a moment :) I always feel very wistful when I watch fantasy movies because 1.) I wish they were real and 2.) they get to film in all the places I want to go but probably can't because I don't have that kind of funding, haha. Czech Republic! Prague! New Zealand! Slovenia! I am reminded of this one Dr. Seuss book I had, OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! There is so much to see in the world and I always get very sad when I realise I will probably never get to see them in my lifetime. I think when I die and if I don't go to Hell, I will ask God to please let me hang around Earth now and then. Like City of Angels! Though it would suck if I had to go back as some invisible ghostly entity unable to enjoy human company and unable to partake of earthly delights (and no, i do not mean the kinky kind, i mean like, feeling the wind and rain and water and sun, smelling the flowers and baking cookies and books, EATING AWESOME FOOD! etc). But anyway, yes. Prince Caspian. As a veteran Narnia fan (and a very ardent Edmund fan, haha), I will be biased and say it was cool stuff! Could be cooler, but I was a happy thing at the movies! :)
After the movie, we were supposed to go for dinner since it was quite late already, but we still felt quite full from our late lunch, so we wandered around. And around. And around. We went up to one of the outdoor deck areas to stare at the harbourfront waters and cable cars and night sky, and we ended up having quite a profound conversation, haha. Why is it that every time I go out or talk with you two, we always end up wondering about the future and getting all philosophical? But I'm glad for these conversations cos we really get to thrash things out, even if we still haven't reached a satisfactory conclusion about everything yet. I really thank God for Rachel and Vivien because I can always be completely honest with them without fearing judgement or feeling the slightest bit judged. So yes, thank you, you two, for putting up with all my antics and idiosyncrasies and accepting me the way you do, I couldn't ask for two cooler best friends, haha! As I always say, I love you in a totally platonic and non-les way, yes! :)
Ugh, ok, break over, back to mugging. Once A Levels are done, OH THE PLACES I'LL GO! THE THINGS I'LL DO! I am such a daydreaming idealist sometimes, it's going to get me killed someday.
Funny Moment from Yesterday:
Me: (staring at the night sky while on the outdoor deck) I wish Narnia was real. I'm looking for a lion!
(pause)
Rach: THERE!!! THERE'S A LION, THE MERLION OVER THERE!! (points at Sentosa Merlion in the distance)
Me: AAAH!!!
Rach: Aaah!!
HAHAHA, I think that's our most uttered word. If it even is a word. Aaah.
