Relief. And worries.

A damp Wednesday morning, I woke up to. A tuition friend of Cheryl's asked her out, and she eventually asked Niki and I to tag along. A tumultous history which I wouldn't really bother to regale, so I'll just summarise the day. I forgot to bring along my camera as I rushed out of the house to get to her place for lunch. She's got the same one anyways, so I took photos on hers and uploaded two here.
Her friend, Yip Yang, didn't really have somewhere in mind, so he was more or less just following for the day. We settled for Indiana Jones, so got tickets first as usual then when off window shopping. (cuz I haven't got any to do real shopping :x ) That hadn't any significance, so I'll just skip to the movie. I think it was AWESOME. The Crystal Skull had few and subtle references to the previous three chapters. Quirky, and that's a real plus for those who have watched 'em before.
There wasn't much of a need for special effects, but when there was, it was typical of Lucas Films to get it right. If you saw their simplicity and ingenious methods of filming Star Wars, you'd be awestruck at their concepts. I heard comments from two friends that the ending was enigmatic or bewildering. Personally, I thought there was nothing off about it.. *Shrug*
We had dinner at New York New York, Citylink Mall. I've been by it many times but Wednesday was the first I went in. The prices were more reasonable than some other places like within Wheelock Place. Had the Jiggy Piggy porkribs, which had this really savoury sauce. The wedges, however, tastes awfully similar to the ones at West Kingdom in TPJC's John Cafe. Their wedges are great though, just that I'd rather get the school's ones. Haha.
Plus, the strawberry calamansi quencher I got tastes alot like the fruit punch we can get at Good News Cafe in TPJC (Niki agreed too), but the atmosphere of this ritzy restaurant makes it different. Ambience, make's you pay more for less.
In the picture above, myself, Cheryl, Niki and Yip Yang, Cheryl's tuition friend. Who asked her out. And had no idea whatsoever on what to do the entire day. Except study. Honestly. (Am I being too harsh? But really, who asks a girl out and has nothing planned at all?)
We guessed each the price of the candy floss there, only to find out it was free. There goes your 10% service charge.

On another note, I'm scared shitless on the lack of preparation for my mid years. I have only twelve days left and counting to D Day, and this whole holidays have been blown to sky high slacking. Might as well leave a dotted line for the guillotine..

Mark, Jia! Here's one that doesn't include romance :D
RainFalling, a cascade,A rythmic serenade.Palms against,My warm breath taints,I wander off and your voice grows faint.To the skies I stare,Sheltered from the cold, damp air.'Tis a wet affair,To be caught out there.I wrote this in mind with a two, three, four verse pattern
