It’s been a week or so, and wouldn’t you know it.

“Our teenage vow in the parking lot, till tonight do us part.”
Hum Hallelujah

The mocks have long since begun and I cannot believe that there are six down already and just a couple more papers to go. Gosh. Everything has been so downright easy, but to avoid possible karma, I won’t talk about it. But it was easy alright. I hope I get at least 7 As out of 8.

And guess what? I’ve got an awesome new laptop. Can you believe that? It hasn’t really sunk in on me yet. But wow. My own laptop, just imagine a little kid finding out that he just won a lifetime supply of mint flavoured ice cream (I like mint, I’ve no idea why everyone else despises it), and you’ll get the picture. And I bet some people would go “Oh yeah, sure, so what? I’ve got one too”. Whatever man, whatever.

I named it Trohmaniatic. Which is a really weird name for a laptop, yes, I know, I call it Joe for short. I named it after possibly the awesomest guitarist ever: Joseph Trohman (it’s one of my life’s ambitions to be just like him, that odd sense of humour and awesome guitar playing). Okay, maybe just one of the awesomest. Whatever.

Anyway, my phone’s all mucked up right now. I can’t send a single message (that explains why I’ve been blatantly ignoring all the messages I get from you guys, it’s not my fault, I swear) ever since I upgraded to 3G. Relax; it’s still the same number, only it’s 3G. I’ve called DST like, a couple of times about it and they just keep telling me to do the same thing. Only it’s not working. And I so do not want to call for the third time, they’ll probably think I’m tryna piss ‘em all off or something.

“DST Com, how may I help you?”
“Yeah, hi, it’s me again, and uh, I still can’t seem to send any messages.”
(Whispered to the operator beside her, while rolling her eyes) “It’s her again.”
(Back to me) “Look miss, why don’t you try again?”
“I’ve tried several thousand times and I still CAN’T.”
(Operator groans, while thinking of a way to get off the phone)

Know what I mean? Haha, kidding, I don’t think they’re that nasty, on the contrary, they’re quite friendly. And anyway, I got my dad to take my phone someplace where they can do something about it.

Down to other things.

There’s great news and news that really puts down the great news. So the great news is that the Internet’s back, hurrah. I got this modem thingy which gives me Internet anytime, anywhere and it works just like a phone, ye have to recharge it when runs out of credit. And that’s where the other news comes in: I ran out of credit after only a couple of times. Frustrating, is it not? This explains why I haven’t been posting anything lately. So who’s nice enough to transfer a couple of bucks to me? (:

I’m hanging back after school tomorrow; I’ve got some replacement classes for music. I’m gonna drag Aikks down over to Sing U Mee (or whatever way you want it spelled), that Chinese restaurant under Netland. The food is great, honestly. I remember the last time I went over there, I was with Eddie and Liz. Saying that Eddie was sensitive about the non-Halal policy would be an understatement.

He was paranoid, I swear, he sounded just like some mental patient. Okay, I was exaggerating. But not the point. He just kept interrogating the waitresses about what’s in his food. It was hilarious to say the least. I bet the Chinese people there were all bugged by Eddie’s constant moaning and groaning about the non-Halal food. Well, he is Muslim right? He has the rights to complain. Then again, we really shouldn’t have brought him there; I ended up eating all the meat he ordered.

So anyway, I’m bringing Aikks there, she has orals after. Speaking of which, my English orals were a fortnight ago, and I’m pretty sure it went well. The teachers were incredibly friendly like Nikki said; all I told myself was to charm them, which is the only way to get the full 15. Well, besides speaking great English. I think I may have charmed the pants off of them already, metaphorically speaking.

The last few days have great, to say the least. Past conversations have left my guts filled with all those fluttering things, yep. It’s amazing how insignificant things suddenly become so significant coming from the right person. It’s made my day. Or days. Yeah.

I guess that’s pretty much it for now. Sleep well folks.

Guess what? My phone is back and finally working. Halle-freaking-lujah. Thank you God. You can expect replies now people. Really.
