(2 ) 00:16 Today was the last day of my A levels (or rather, yesterday, since it's already past midnight)! Finally, with Chem Paper 1 over, I can start filing all my work away and not look at them for ever. It feels kind of weird that I don't have to go to school anymore, that my days no longer have any kind of structure to them, and I can do as I see fit. Sometimes freedom scares me a little. This reminds me of one of our GP compre passages, I can't remember which one, where the issue of whether having too many choices in the world today is good nor not. I'd say the power to choose comes with strings attached.
We got a rather asinine invigilator today. He kept shouting at people who didn't follow instructions. Bleh. But it was over in an hour anyway, so I didn't really mind. I felt that the paper was in the usual style of the 2006 A level questions, which are, to put it simply, weird. I've made several mistakes already (ARGGHHHHH) so I don't want to think about it anymore. Yvette told me she had the answers to the Physics MCQ and I adamantly replied that I didn't want to hear anything about it, because I know that I'll have made a ton of mistakes and I'd rather be in a state of self-denial so that I can enjoy my holiday in peace. Haha.
Left school almost immediately after the paper with Da En to meet Wei Jie and Jason at Orchard Cineleisure. We reached there earlier than the other two, so we got the tickets to Step Up first and went to the Apple store upstairs for me to drool over all thesexy sleek iMacs on display. We even fiddled with one for a while, but realised that they disabled many functions so that smart aleck's like us won't screw the computer up.
After meeting up with WJ and Jason, we went to watch the movie. The movie's good, and although the plot is rather lacking, being predictable and all that, the dancing is just OMG SUPERB. I recommend the movie on the grounds of the spectacular dancing alone. Who cares about the plot. It actually isn't so bad really, because of the underdog-becomes-a-star triumph which I like, except for one thing which I thought was unnecessary. And it helps a lot that the male lead, Channing Tatum who plays Tyler Gage, is hot. He's not my type, but you have to admit he has a hot bod. XD He can't act, but who needs to, when he can dance like that? And the female lead, Jenna Dewan who plays Nora Clark is just SO VERY GOOD. And she's so strong. O.O Wow. Watching this movie makes me wish I could dance. And Da En kept on saying how he felt very 自卑 (how do you translate that?) after watching it. Haha.
After the movie ended, we decided to head to NYDC to eat. It doesn't serve the world's best food, but I think they have good cakes. Too bad we didn't have enough space left to accomodate cake, besides it was WJ's birthday... and a birthday without a cake? Aww. Nevermind. Happy 18th birthday anyway! Yvette joined us for dinner but not for the movie. Why? You missed a perfectly awesome movie! I'm happy that the last few movies that I caught were all good, The Prestige being an excellent example. Actually, I can't remember any further back because all the mugging takes away some parts of our memory to make space for extraneous facts that we have to regurgitate in our exams.
Anyway after eating and becoming too full (hence forgoing cake, which I was soooo tempted to buy), we were having problems deciding what to do, which is always a problem among us. We walked aimlessly around Heeren for awhile and finally decided to sit outside Taka and just talk, which would solve the problem of actually having to do anything, LOL. After several unfortunate encounters with smokers (argh my lungs), we found a spot where we had relatively fresh air. Talked till about 10plus then went home. On the way to the MRT we passed by the bar at Wisma. It's called Cosmopolitan, and there was a live band playing this awesome song, so we stood and listened until they finished. WJ heard the song before, but he doesn't know what it's called. Bleh.
Took the MRT home on my lonesome ownsome because everyone stays in the east. Bleh. But it was quite okay because I was tired (maybe not as much as Yvette, who was already rather quiet before we decided to go home) and the ride passed in a blur. I was grateful when I got to sit down though, and almost fell asleep when I realised that I had already reached my stop. Saw a Hwachong guy getting off the train and recognised him as one of the people who takes 174 to school. He must've been out celebrating his end of exams too, haha.
Phwoar. It's late already. My mother usually doesn't let me sleep after midnight but she made an exception today. I don't feel like sleeping although I'm tired because I don't really want tomorrow to come. Don't ask why, it's a combination of many things. I guess I'll numb myself through it, like I always do when I have to do things I don't like. It's easier when you convince yourself you don't care.
