More long weekends needed!

The long weekend was for me to catch up on my homework that's all overdue.

Guess what?

None of them got completed.

Ah well. I bummed the weekend away and felt guilty doing it. How lousy. But I think using the word bummed may not be correct. After all, except for dumping the clothes into the washing machine, I pretty much did the rest (which then again wasn't that much).

My parents went to Malaysia over the long weekend. From Friday morning in fact, all the way till yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon.

So I watered the plants, fed the rabbit and fishes, swept the floor, wiped down surfaces, hung and kept the clothes, and cleaned up after whatever was used, like dishes and cups. If not for my pig of a sister having her exam I'd have made her clean up after herself, so it was double the stuff to clear - and mind you she can leave things all over the place.

I'm fine with housework. Beats studying. Any time.

Oh, and I discovered that the flute thing I mentioned in the previous post may clash with one of my good friend's wedding. How crappy is that?!?!?!?! I'm so tempted to choose the flute thing over the wedding. I'll see if I manage to go for both. Sigh. I hate dilemmas.

Anyway, during the time my parents were away, Dearie was busy working like every other weekend, during which time I was supposed to study. I didn't do that and landed up watching TV most of the time. Dearie stayed over the first couple of nights to keep me company.

On Sunday I had class in the morning. Yes. Class. It was the make-up lesson for the public holiday. The only reason why I didn't go with my parents. Sianz as it sounded, it felt better than class on any weeknight nor Saturday. Next time they should just allow for Sunday morning classes to be an option.

Something else I did: I babysat Kiki!!! It was all of 2-3 hours at his mama's place, but my goodness, if I were ever asked to babysit, I'd ask for at least $10 an hour. I had to play catching with him, make sure he ate and drank, talked to him, play cars with him, blah blah blah. I don't know where I got the stamina and energy needed to keep him company but I mustered it and managed to pull through. And it was only a max of 3 hrs. My respect to full-time mummies has just reached a new peak.

My parents came back yesterday so I went out last night. My curiousity for Vivo City was itching real bad so I made Dearie bring me there. After all, he already went to take a look with his friends the night before.

And maybe I just needed to see him since I woke up with a nightmare that morning: that I saw Evon carrying the same bag as me, and I asked her where she got it from, and she said from Dearie. BIANGZ. It didn't matter who the girl was - the whole point was that he cheated on me in the dream. That sucked. I woke up nearly crying, till I discovered that hey, it was really a dream. Freaky.

Back to Vivo: I can't see how the place can ever be crowded enough to make people squeeze through hallways like Suntec. It's sooooo spacious. Niiiice. Wonder how long the hype will last though.

We caught the movie "The Black Dahlia". Both Dearie and I had to show the guy our ICs before he let us buy the tickets. Anyway. Not too bad storyline, though for me, it was hard to follow. I guess it's just that I'm slow. It bordered on boring since American culture in the 1940s is not exactly something we can relate to. It's one of those movies which I felt would've been better if it stayed as a book.

There's a 1940s lesbian clip in it justifying the M-18 rating. Yes, I never knew they had porn in those days. Much less LESBIAN porn. It was .. um.. refreshing.

Something else to note. The GV area is very cold. Bring a jacket. It's not so bad in the cinema, but you'll need one just to survive walking in and out. Don't go bra-less.

The highlight of Vivo City is the rooftop. It overlooks Sentosa, and has these pools all over. I don't know how deep the pools are but I assume it's deep enough for kids to play in and us big people to waddle in. I didn't try, but I'd love to bring Ki there one day.

I'm still on the lookout for good piano scores to meddle around with. By the way, I've also learnt that I cannot play an entire piece from memory. That sucks. I'm hoping that will change soon. And hopefully such "skills" become useful one day. Maybe I can put up a little mini charity concert next year for my company's President's Charity fund raising. Hahahaha!
