lesson #207: finally something to brighten up the day

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!


Got chosen to perform for Freshman Bash. Together with Syd, Kunz, Mich, Nic and Candace. Think it's quite a fair decision too, 'cos Jun, Vida and Jess got to do the Hotline item for Convo. Fair picks overall!


I want to do a good job for this performance. The day after the performance, at 8.45 am, will be my Basic Theory Test. Not sure how I'll be able to study for it but I'm sure I'll manage. Let me just bask in happiness for a while, because the rest of the day had been sucky.


Sucky incident #1:
I checked out the vacancies left for my MPW class and voila! A total of 30 vacancies are available for bidding still. Out of 40. And the lowest bid was ten bucks. And I bidded 12 bucks for it. So I was feeling super stingy and wanted to save two bucks and consulted G about dropping our current bids and then bidding a lower price (namely ten bucks). He said 'OK' so I dropped my bid, assuming he will do the same.


You know where I'm going, don't you? He did NOT do the same. He reconsidered it and on second thoughts decided that dropping the confirmed bid will be too risky. I felt... well, betrayed. And cheated. And wronged. And all the other sucky feelings in the world. This situation kinda reminds me of an old Canto movie with Anita Mui in it, and she was playing the ghost of a woman who took a poison thinking that her star-crossed lover would do the same, but actually in the end the lover did NOT take the poison so she died feeling alone and stupid and became a ghost.


Sucky incident #2:
Dance elections. I think I screwed up my speech, because I was so confident that I know all of the answers when I was sitting down waiting for my turn to speak. But then it's a different thing when you're actually giving your speech. Your throat clogged up, your tongue felt sticky and dry, and you can't stop fiddling with the jacket you borrowed from Syd. Oh well, all out of my hands now.


Oh, met Anna just now and while we were talking she said that I'm always bitching on my blog, all just because I made a passing comment that one girl looked like a watermelon. Eh, I don't think I bitch really. Surely I'm not that bad! Right?
