Long John's, Smelly Girls & Survivor

The E Maths paper ended at 10am and the lot of us made our way down (and up) to the LJS at the mall. There was Prasanna, Karen, Taariq, Eirene, Melyssa and Raihanah, bunch of mad people on a little 'romp' after our last paper (not technically, but yeah, last.) The day had only just begun... and we were only in school for what, 2 hours plus?!

We were basically having a good time on a Monday. First thing after the paper and we're chilling. Great fun we had. We went to breakfast at Long Johns', and as usual, the service was terrible man. They were understaffed, just one poor person tending the counter, and the queue was freakin' slow. Plus, there was a need to wait a while for the food.

But heck, the breakfast is good. So its rather worth the wait I guess. Rene and I had breakfasts 1 & 3 and we traded the toasts with each other. It was nice just sitting around and talking 'bout stuff. Been a very long time since I've been able to sit at a fast food joint with friends and just enjoy myself. The busy schedules have been bogging me down almost everyday before the exams.

Well, we were talking 'bout Prom dates and the need to learn ballroom before Prom itself. (so we don't have to embaress ourselves) Karen was extremely keen, and was calling on her 'date' Taariq to take lessons with her. Oh, and Taariq's her 'date' because of Height Differences. Nyahaha! But Taariq's not short! I'm only 4cm taller than him and its not much difference anyways!

And then there was the topic 'bout what to wear for Prom. And what themes could be proposed for Prom. There was the usual Retro 70s, or the Hollywood Red Carpet one, and we had great ideas like a Greek Toga-inspired attire a la Troy, and also a Van Helsing-esque Transylvanian Vampiress-in-a-corset one. Superb.

But I really hope its not some lame event, with a lame venue and a lame dress theme to boot!

Ok... Boring I know.. But its just our usual bantering and the fun we have with each other!

After LJS, we went to take Neoprints. Walking into the Neoprint booths at Tampines Mall nearly caused me to faint.

Reason being..?

Smelly schoolgirls squeezing in small little booths and stinking up the entire bloody place.
(No offence but man, it was bad)

In hope of a better smelling Neoprint booth that would not cause me to die right away, we headed to Century, which had the bigger Neoprint place. But. The. smell. was. still. there.

It was as if the smell had followed us man. It was really disgusting and oh my god, you can't imagine the bloody stench that doesn't forgive. But we moved in further and the smell was gone. Instantly, I knew that it must've been the group of girls near the entrance.

They had the after-school/Sec 1 pupils'/sweat smell that hung in the air, refusing to diffuse to somewhere of lower concentration...

So, feeling much better, we found a nice machine and squeezed inside (Note: We didn't bear the similar killer-scent that the smelly girls had) We got ready and got snapping away after that. It was great fun. Don't know why but there was one shot in which EVERYONE started to moan loudly in the booth. Sure, we got the attention we craved from the groups of smelly girls outside and it was kinda embaressing. But we had a blast!!!

The Neoprint (cheap) thrill ended and we all started to head off in different directions for different reasons. I went home though... although I really wanted to go swimming with Karen. But she was heading off for Tamp pool, which was dumb for me, 'cause I've got a pool at my home and what's the point of heading there and back?

Got home and there was the Survivor finale episode. Watched and got kinda inspired somehow by the personalities. I think this is like one of the best Survivors' in history man. I was really impressed at how the people were that real and it reminded me that despite all the moolah and talk about "Reality TV" not being exactly "Reality", at the end of the day, these personalities still head home to their friends and families and life just goes on...

It was really cool lah. Somehow, for me. Don't know why but I usually get really hyped up after a season of Survivor ends. But then there's a sudden anticlimax too! It's as if the lack of Survivor gives me bad withdrawal symptoms to deal with. Plus The Amazing Race is about to end this week too. Oh no, Reality TV's biggest heavyweights are taking a break from the screen.
I'd have nothing to watch by then. But heard Project Runway's coming up?

So Aras has won Survivor. But isn't he already like freaking loaded? He's got his own Yoga thing and all. But I think he deserves it, opposite the very bland Danielle who only stepped up her game at the end. Hrrrm.

Does he really deserve the million dollars?
