Post title : s20 gathering and bonitochico sales~!
♥ You'll never know the real me.
Finally my weekends got something to blog abt...haha!
On saturday noon went to weixiang's house for mahjong..met up earlier with xuemei 1st for lunch before going up to his house..waited for sinda for almost half an hour before we could finally start playing..-.-.. by e time we finished playing 1 full round,it was already 630! supposed to meet s20 for gathering at 630 but i was already late..in e end i reached holland v at 730,and coz it's raining and im lazy to take out my umbrella since it's jux a short distance from e bus stop to e cold storage building,gt to drench myself in e rain..of coz i would only do tt since it's jux a drizzle..
Surprisingly,i wasnt e last person to arrive..haha..and not too bad,there's at least half of our class pple who went..e moment i arrived e poking fun btw me and johnston started again..but well, im really used to it already..haha..anw,we had our dinner at 211 roof terrace cafe..e place was not bad,but e food wasnt really good..i ordered fish and chips,looked not bad but tasted so-so only,not very nice..and for susian's seafood platter(i dun really rmb e name),he said it's tasteless and he actually poured(not sprinkle) cheese powder on it..looked even less appealing but at least it tasted better..others ordered salads,pastas and pizzas,din really ask if it's nice but i tink e standard shld be e same..we laughed and chitchat after dinner,and finally it's cake presenting time for july babies min and ah fen~! ordered a tiramisu and brownie ice cream,and surprisingly their cakes tasted not bad! after phototaking and hanging ard,most of us headed for home for world cup germany vs argentina!
Thot argentina might win,but dunno why they wasnt playing at their usual standard at tt match,and plus germany played well with their fast counter-attacking skills..so sorry argentina,next time ba!
On sunday went to e bonitochico warehouse sales at helipad with xuemei..e sales started at 2 so we met up for lunch at abt 130..by e time we were ready to go up it's abt 230..when we stepped out of e lift,wat we saw was really OMG~!! e queue was soooooo damn long~! looked so crazy~! nv expect e queue to be so long sia..it's like fans queueing up for some idol's signature like tt..can u imagine! we were hesitating whether to join e craziness,but thot since we were already here,might as well jux try,so in e end we went to queue up! along e queue saw some familiar faces here and there..and they were even earlier than us..looked like most of them chiong down specially jux for e bc sales..haha..
We queued for 4 freaking hours before it's gg to be our turn to go in! by e time our legs were aching already..actually i tink e reason why e queue moved so slowly was coz most of them stayed in e club for so long! we saw some of e pple,from e time they went in to e time they came out from e club,they took more than 2 hours! we den decided we shld die die stay inside until it's closed to make our waiting time worthwhile..haha..
When we stepped into e club,wah,it's so dark can..e lights were so dim and little..and it's so crowded! some gals behind me asked 1 of e crews if can switch on all e lights,tink e crew felt abit paiseh when replying "e lights were already on"..lolx..when we started browsing,we started to understand why e others nd so long to shop inside..haha..one thing was e lights were too dim,gt to use longer time to look at each piece of apparel..second was tt it was too crowded and squeezy! got to use alot of energy to squeeze from one section to another..third was coz most of e pple would jux grab watever they thot was quite nice and eventually gt to stand aside and filter out those tt they decided nt to buy..lastly was tt coz they did nt put their unwanted pieces back to their respective sections and jux throw at any section(i tink nobody would ever do tt at tt crowded situation),whenever we walked back to any section N no of times,there would always be "new discovery"..haha..but seriously,some were so inconsiderate..when they browsing thru some of e clothes dropped on e floor..they din pick it up and caused some to be stepped on by everybody! this also happened when pple were busy digging thru e piles of clothes..haiz..women were jux too concentrated on grabbing their loots..
Ard 8-ish one of e owners of bc announced tt she received a feedback from some gals tt they queued super long jux for e sales,and so in order to thank us,she said all apparels which gt diff range of prices including bags were reduced to $15,and those tt originally cost $10 were all reduced to $5!! Woo hoo~! my filtering became less "strict" after tt..haha..
By e time we left it's abt 9 plus already..this means we stayed for abt 2 hours plus also! in total i bought 4 tops and 1 bag for jux $65~! so happy~!! at least it made e 4 hrs of waiting time worth it~! =)

Post title : nus pls do something abt it~!
♥ You'll never know the real me.
Sometimes i feel that the system/service(or watsoever) in NUS is really sux to e core!!
On monday i went down to collect my academic dress..it was initially e official day where students from faculty of science were arranged to collect between 5-8pm..diff fac would hav diff days and timings to collect their dress..in a way it's good so as to prevent everyone from chiong-ing to get their desired dress size since it's first come 1st serve basis..me and pat decided to go exactly at 5 so as to be able to get our size..but when jaz told me on mon morning tt some of her frenz already able to collect their dresses on sat,we felt so kena cheated and felt so stupid to follow wat NUS instructed..wat's worst was tt e dresses in all sizes were all placed since sat..this means for pple like us who went on mon,our chances of getting s or xs size was almost zero coz they were e most popular sizes..it's really WTH can!! wat kind of 1st come 1st serve basis is this!?!? at least they shld like leave an equal no of s and xs sizes on each day,sounds more fair lorz..
In e end we decided to meet asap hoping to get our desired size..in e end when me and pat got there e s and xs were all gone..and m size also left a few pieces only..imagine we initially wanted xs,now we nd to wear m size..i was like wearing some kind of wizard clothing la..den e cap also same case,all left those m size when we originally wanted s..and e cap was even more impt coz if it's too big,i tink it will e laughing stock of e century if u bow and e cap drop when on e stage..but luckily after trying out almost all e caps,i finally managed to find 1 which is more fitting..really really felt so cheated and angry..actually i already gt e academic dress and cap which belong to my sis..but hers is both m size which was too big for me so i chose to rent instead..in e end i still rent m size for both! it's really a waste of my money!!!!
We went on to collect our hood and invitation card and listened to e booths set up by photography shops promoting their studio package..at 1st we were attracted to e 1st photography shop W coz of its striking banner..wat's gd was tt they allowed us to pay a small deposit if we were interested and was refundable if we decided not to take up their package after more consideration..we din realised there's a 2nd booth until we walked further down..we thot e 2nd 1 H was not bad too..in e end me and pat were in a dilemma on whether to change to H since e deposit paid at W was refundable..still din manage to come to a decision even after rainbow and ah man knocked off from work and came to meet us at 7 plus after collecting their dresses..so we jux went to holland v to have our dinner..
Initially planned to try our luck at crystal jade for buffet,but of coz we expected it we would end up disappointed..den we wanted to go to "everything with fries",but it was closed! in e end we went to Swensens..
While chatting,we realised rainbow managed to get s size for her academic dress when she came much later than us! i rmb we did ask e person in charge there whether there's any more s or xs sized dress and e person said everything was already there..dunno y tt person managed to get an s size from nowhere! it's really damn sucky can...and felt so cheated AGAIN~!! #$^&^%#$%*
Somehow i tink nus shld do something abt it..haiz..anw,luckily we were at swensens, coz eating desserts jux extinguished any anger in me!! hehehe..:)))
