Apparently Tata was Italian (CARLOTTA!) in a past life... Taking the quiz now, during Yearbook (hah!) because we have a free period. Friday was our last day to finish ALL PAGES and thank goodness I managed to find a celeb lookalike during one period (cos one of the teachers didn't want to look like Kathy Griffin).

Lots of updates! Wanted to post yesterday but the power went out because of the rain. So in the morning we dashed off to church and arrived late, had a talk with the hearts home organization instead of ccd class, went to shangrila for lunch with dad's friends (gosh, I love their crispy prawn with salad dressing [which actually isn't anything vegetably, it's just mayonnaise or however you spell it] and corn soup- so awesome!), then got caught in a jam and went to the dentist, where I had to take a mold for my retainers, which will be ready in one week! ain't that awesome.

However, the minute we got home, the house was all grey cos of the rain outside, plus the lights weren't working. Originally we thought it was only some of them, like a parallel circuit or something (my mum said it; I had no idea what she was talking about), but then as the day passed it became clear that everything electric was haywire. The Internet was bonkers, which explains the dead-blog status, and so were the lights everywhere, including the A/C!! So I sat in absolute heat watching Gossip Girl, which is so so so great- I love SELENA AND DAN! Although, having read the books, I know they broke up )):

Backtrack to Saturday and I'm waking up at 9, and my mum's like, Do you want to go to the tailor's and then maybe Pratunam (or Platinum; I still don't know) with Auntie Jess and Sherilyn?so duh I say YES! and I accidentally read too much over breakfast so we run late and get caught in a jam (yes, jams are as common in Bangkok as bans are in Singapore, just kidding). Meet Auntie Jess and Sher at the bottom of the overhead bridge and we trot happily to the tailor's, where I try on my confirmation dress and find that I look like a thirty y/o bride but somehow my mother lurves it.

{on a sidenote, I just discovered that I'm teardrops on my guitar. fb.}

-now finding out m y inner nationality. -

anyway, fast forward to platinumfashionmall and sher and I are chomping our way through our mothers' wallets. saw these two awesome pairs of shoes which I fully intend to save up for although (a) I don't know how much they cost, (b) I'm not sure I remember where they are and (c) my mother hates them. What are they? well, one's a pair of black flats with an ankle strap that has some awesome suede fringe (if I'm not wrong it also comes in brown). and the other, which I lurrrrrrve, is a pair of grey fringed suede flat boots. which also, I think, come in white, brown and black. eep! I wish we had winter.

anyway, bought quite a lot of stuff: beaded bracelet (which has a twin in the one sway-sim gave me last year, except that one's purple and the one I bought is rainbow-coloured), two pairs of shoes (inc. my long-awaited pair of wedges! and a pair of thong sandals, which are sliiightly uncomfortable- I only just found that out), two hairbands (wearing one now- so blair! a royal blue flower headband, and a bright pink bejewelled hairband) and a belt (dark brown with metallic fastener- sher got the black).

lalala. period's ending in about 10 minutes, I think, then it's end of delish free period for moi and off to global studies where I will have to sit quietly and endure tata's aunt and the girl-whose-name-is-like-emerald.

I'll come running,
