inconsistency right so after kino crystal and I went window shopping, while geeru and michele were enjoying their purchases at coffee bean, and charisse mooched in kino for more reading. We discovered that prices in takashimaya decrease as you descend; the shops on the same level as kino were practically empty and had really really nice things with crazy prices and we looked pretty strange walking in uniform. So down we went, to moderately-priced stores- warehouse! and looking at shopfronts but stood out very nicely in a bridal fair which had a grey floor that was supposed to match the white on the dresses, I think. back to coffeebean and got a pink lemonade! which was surprisingly sour. well, just for me, because crystal finished half fairly quickly. and then off to hmv with michele, where I gawked at the prices (again), at austin powers goldmember, and at a $7.95 spirited away vcd. I finished off with a brisk walk back to the library at orchard to look for the virgin suicides/ a book to keep me sane, but instead met matthewchan and andrea/ laura/ mel(anie), though not in the same group. hightailed to bishan for my german results, but got to sleep in a darkened auditorium with __ in the background and no results. Mostly Martha was a very slow german movie (with subtitles) that I could sleep and still follow the plotline- my legs were killing me by now and sleep was excusable (.") and that was the end of end of eoys.

grr. emo rants up ahead. I smell like cheese. being a geek today, I went to the central lending library to look for the virgin suicides and spent 1/2 an hour sitting on the plush seats looking at the illustrated version of mirrormask, which came in a heavy books and art by dave mckean, with whom neil gaiman collaborated. It's just the story boards of every single frame, but it came with a foreword by you know who and email records of first drafts and everything. The footlong hardcover was too heavy to bring home, so I sat and read, which was nice to do when it was all quiet at ten in the morning. I went to search for the virgin suicides, and it turned out all copies not on loan were in the library at esplanade. all copies of anansi boys not on loan were there too. >:( so much for running all over for a single book. will probably go to the esplanade on wednesday to get that and anansi boys to keep me sane from rereading everything I have. left the library with sirthursday and neverwhere, and a reading of wolves in the walls, which is a picturebook for young children and could be lovely reading aloud. It took a lot of me not to sit one of the running kids in the library down and start reading, complete with sound effects. It must have looked pretty funny for a person my age to look at the section for junior readers for wolves in the walls and sirthursday. Actually it would be tons easier if I just bought everything I wanted in kino on friday with my christmas vouchers, but I wasn't sure if the virgin suicides and anansi boys were worth spending money on.

I feel fairly bored after eoys, and I must sound like that, but I have to catch up on tcamp, cap application and next year's stuff, because mum doesn't want me to fumble like I did this year and the year before that. Still keeping biochemphysicslit- will be a huge challenge to keep up. I have lots to catch up in terms of german and chinese><" which I cannot mess or I would be dead as a doorknob. starting off with the procrastinator's handbook, but neverwhere is a thousand times more appealing.

note to self: radishii [story], http://inkstain.inkquill.net/isf/archive/28/pariah.html ,
nanowrimo.org and I think I'll talk about thevirginsuicides, which turns most people off at first (haha me.)
