I had an amazing day yesterday!

Because I didn't go to school. Haha. It was the first time (I KNOW! THE HORROR!) I didn't go to school just because I didn't feel like it. No, actually, it was the first time my parents actually allowed me to NOT go to school. Even when I was perfectly healthy, sane, etc, etc.

Okay, that's not exactly the truth. Truth is, I was never courageous enough to ask them if they allow me to not go to school. I even got reprimanded when I asked if I could skip my tuition, for goodness' sake.

So. Went for tuition in the morning, came home, had an awful lunch of soggy cabbages, talked to Iris (who was, predictably, watching the TV, haha), tried to do the Add Maths exercise, failed miserably, tried to commit suicide ....

So, the second "First Time" of the day was actually having lunch at home. As in lunch cooked by the maid. I never went to school late enough to have lunch at home. Or I just cooked something for myself, which was obviously not the same. I am such a good cook!! *frowns* Okay, that doesn't sound right. But still. I like cabbages, but I hate them all oily and soggy! WHAT DID SHE DO TO THE CABBAGES!

BUT STILL! I don't even know how to fry an egg (scrambled eggs yes, original fried eggs no), let alone cook cabbages. Hahah. So I should shut up now.

After my futile (oh shut up I love this word futile futile futile) attempts to do the Add Maths exercise (how could I have missed Logarithms, how?!), I went upstairs and tried to study Chemistry, ON THE BED, and of course, I fell asleep.

Woke up with a stiff and aching neck, went downstairs, tried to study Chemistry again while laughing inwardly at all the people suffering at school. (But then it was actually their choice to go to school, so I doubt that they actually suffered much) Double period Chinese! History! MALAY! *snorts*

Sorry. Can't help feeling just a little bit gleeful. Haha. Hah. HAHAHAHAHA.

My mum and I went to the optometrist's later, got our eyes checked, found out that my short-sightedness have worsened, AND ..... CONTACT LENSES!

Miraculously, my mum allowed me to make (is make even the correct word?) contact lenses!!! OMG OMG OMG!! Thank you! Merci bien! Gracias! Terima Kasih! *swipes tear*

After getting used to the normal monthly lenses, I can even get coloured ones! TURQUOISE!

That, was the main reason why I couldn't stop smiling the whole day.

Okay, I'm even smiling now, 2 o'clock in the morning, sitting here and multitasking, all alone. Playing Maple Story (waiting for the MP to load, again), flipping through the Chemistry book again (because I can't be bothered to get the Physics/Biology book from my room), and blogging.
I am well aware of the fact that I haven't posted a single photo since ... I don't know, 28 years ago? Pfft. I'll TRY to post those photos that I promised to post after the exams. If I am still alive, like I said.

Anyway, here are a few photos! To make myself feel better. I hate blogs without photos. I don't want to hate my own blog!


Jellyfish! (Still alive)

I WANT TO EAT! Ahem.

Eek. Like the poor thing wasn't in the worst of worst lucks already, getting washed ashore. It had to endure scrutinies from people, endure being poked with sticks and being pinched with a pair of forceps. Ouch.

We are so sorry, Mr. Jellyfish. =(

Curiosity. You're going to want to know what it tastes feels like. - Elizabeth Swann (Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest)

Taste, I'd like to taste the jellyfish too! Tempting. I like jellyfish sushi. Sounds gross but it's yummy ...



Yes! It really was a unique lake! I had never seen anything like it before.





Unique .... in the sense that there was no water! Ha-ha. =_=

But still, it was really ... picturesque. Thick, swirling wisps of fog against the lush green trees, a dull, gloomy sky with no clouds (it rained), a wide expanse of grayish mud and sand (which was technically the Meromictic lake) dotted with hundreds of red-clawed crabs, mudskippers ... skipping? happily - and kind of derisively in my opinion, since we tried to catch them but failed dismally because they were too quick for us - on the surface of the yellowish waters, filthy old boots ...

Oh, it was picturesque all right.

I have many other photos but I want to continue playing Maple now! (Screw Chemistry. Or Physics. OR Biology. Or anything else.)(Okay it is actually 3 o'clock in the morning. I have to sleep.)

Goodnight! Sweet dreams.

Maybe I'll dream about being a giant butterfly when I sleep tonight. Ahem. Hopefully I will still remember myself (and you) when I wake up. xD

Maybe we'll BOTH turn into butterflies and weave a tragic (although I prefer typical, happy ones) love story like ... like ... that ... don't know what it's called in English.

Nights! =)
