What A Week!!

WOW! It's been some week. What happened to bring on this transgression to an actual blog? I'll tell you...

Thursday
Results for the first lot of exams came out. It was initially given that the results would be released on Friday. However, on Wednesday notices appeared all over the building bearing the message that made my heart leap into my throat.
So, as soon as we (the nerdy physics lot) could get off classes (we bugged Mr. Aziz to let us out early) we made a beeline for the main block. Now, the corridor in the main building is long, but this time it seemed as long as the yellow brick road must have been to Dorothy(she doesn't have a last name, does she?)
So heart pounding a hundred times a second and fingers clenched so tight my fingernails were digging into my palms, I directed shaky steps towards the hall that held those sacred pieces of paper. Receiving that skimpy little blue piece of paper that seemed to hold my life, hand shaking, turning it over, skimming the minute print, it seemed someone had turned down the volume. Several more heart wrenching moments passed as I flipped over the paper trying to determine if I'd passed, how many As I'd received. Several double checks later, only then did I dare admit I'd achieved the impossible-scored straight As! And an A in English Literature too, no minor feat in my case.
Now, here's where I get persnickity. When the kiasu, over-achieving, Malaysian schooled student in me undoubtebly tries to stick her head out. Knowing full well I would be well and truly sat on if I so much as dared to mention this in public, this blog is my only safe medium of expression. The issue that would get me a bashing? Sure I scored straight As, so what? So many people scored full marks, I have one of the lowest scores I know for Literature. Alright, alright, stop groaning, it was just something I had to get off my chest.
Oh yes, I might also have a career in law after all. I am delighted about this- I scored 81.5% in my law test. Can't possibly be something to base your future on but its a start, I hope.
Wow, all that was just about thursday.

Friday
Went to Mid Valley with Sanz, Wen Ni, Dimple, Pui Sun and Midhfa. Haha, what fun! First we saw the world's awfulest movie to date- The New World. And that's including bloody Steve Martin's Pink Panther. I really do not want to go into detail so we'll leave it at that, shall we? Then Wen n I ditched the others so we could go shopping..MNG, Zara, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins..Oooh, I finally bought the top I've been raving about. Yay!
And we took the bus and LRT home. A first for me...I've not taken the bus in years. No, NO, NO!! That does not make me a spoilt brat! *pouts*
Back home I found out my sis and mom had been out shopping too. No fair! But at least my sister was nice enough to buy me a beret, looks pretty good on me too, if I do say so myself.

Saturday
Mum took me out shopping today, a treat for my surprising, nay, cardiac arrest inducing results. Both my parents were stunned when I told them the news, more so at my A in Literature since I've been bemoaning the subject incessantly. I've come to realise that I love knitwear. Romp has some really nice stuff, though I never paid much attention to it before. Of course, mummy will always remain mummy, unendingly trying to inject some frugality into her hopeless daughter. But she did ease up enough to buy me the most gorgeous sweater from Dorothy Perkins. Its sooo soft and snugly and I wore it to college and everyone said it looked nice. Oh happy day!! Haha, earth to shaku, come down shaku. OK, I'm going to put an end to these "confessions of a shopaholic" right now. Till the next SA (Shopaholics Anonymous) meeting...ciao!
