lesson #51: one woman's struggle against the spider

Spiders are probably one of the more icky-looking bugs there ever were. It's slightly below those slimy green worms and slightly above buzzing beetles. And tonight, just now in fact, when I opened up my laptop, one of them jumped out right in front of my eyes. It's brown with a dotted back. I quickly snatched up a bunch of tissues and tried to pick it up, but it slipped out like the little bugger it is. Managed to get it off my laptop and onto the floor. Was gonna broom it to death, but when I came back with my ultimate weapon, couldn't find it anymore. Lucky b******. I swear, Tobey Maguire is spiders' only saving grace.


Long day today. Started with CT project presentations, which extended the session by half an hour. Our group gave out free Campbell's mushroom soup. During the later half of the session, was feeling kinda antsy because I was scared of being late for a modelling interview thingummy. But G drove me there like a madman, so turned out I wasn't so late after all. And the 'interview' was a waste of one hour. The guy talked mostly crap most of the time. He painted a very pretty picture until he suddenly dabbed on $163. Ting! The whole interview was like a suspense movie, the suspense being, "When is he gonna drop the one-time-payment bomb? Tick tock tick tock!"


But the suspense then can't be compared to the one I sustained for half of Hide And Seek, which I watched at Plaza Sing. The show's kinda creepy, with a rather unexpected twist.


'Come out, come out, wherever you are...'


Done in a sing-song voice, it's the creepiest thing EVER.


Spent $420 on a pair of Armani specs. Actually just went into the optics shop in a whim, and went on to try some of the nicer specs they offered. Pondered on whether I looked better in either of two Dolce & Gabbana specs, but then decided that the Armani one fit the best. And then basically I just got carried along through the whole process of buying specs. Taking eye measurements and all that. Eeeek! But I do need new specs, so no worries about the spending. Can't wait to tell people, "It's Armani." (Not sure if it's Giorgio or Emporio. Giorgio's the dresses, right?) It's got the kitschest lime green handles.


Also bought a $30 capri jeans from Ebase (40% off storewide). Basically almost all the shops in PS are having a sale, including x:odus. What a time to be broke! Sigh.


On that broke note, will have to cancel on going Mambo tomorrow. Besides, also have BGS mid-terms on Friday as well as Biz Law next Wednesday. Not forgetting the tonnes of homework, all credit goes to Finance and AS Profs. Think might go Zouking on Friday though, if I could get free passes, but will have to study hard on the days before that.
