The scars of your love they leave me breathless

Yesterday at Zara...

Me: I wanna cover Chasing Pavements by Adele, can we try, pleeease?

Shengyuan: That song sucks, I've never heard it. Let's do Rolling in the deep.

Dave: Guys, I think we should just stick to guitar and drums songs.

Me: But Dave, Rolling in the Deep is a percussionist's heaven.

Dave: OHH, okay. *smile*

Brendan: Eh, see see, I can do the wave!

We all want to show off. :)

I gave my sales pitch yesterday during Speech Comm and failed miserably. I firstly realised that I had in fact NOT memorised my script and also, having not ever practiced it, was completely awkward in front of the class. That came as a shock, considering that I've been in debate for four years and done oratory on the side. But when I really think about it, I've never actually memorised an entire speech to be said in front of an audience because I always had cue cards and notes, not to mention a stopwatch. So in that aspect, I have effectively failed as a speaker and shamed my debate teachers in charge, my coaches and my ex-team. Shame x 1000 :(

That aside I think everyone else in my class did extremely well, the inventions, products and many of the names that they came up with were genius. In that sense, my class is a very fun bunch of people and I'm glad that I am where I am now.

After class yesterday I headed to town to meet with the aforementioned bandmates together with Cheryl, Ernwei and Diana (the birthday girl!). Of course everyone else was late aside from me so prior to meeting them I spent twenty minutes in an Ion toilet cubicle fixing up my make up and then proceeded to Sephora to have a look-see at the new products. I'm already eyeing many things so now it's a question of willpower to save money and come through with the purchases. Dinner was lagged because we had to wait really long for a table to fit 8 people (Justin, the boys' friend came later) and I was so tired I actually fell asleep on the chair outside NYDC for a while. Cheryl thought I was sulking when I absolutely was not, tired is tired, sulking is sulking. The two are not the same and cannot be used in united accusation just because my facial expressions for the two are somewhat similar.

I had a disappointing pork loin which reminds me of another conversation snippet-

Me: Where is the extra gravy I asked for (it'd already be a while)

Ernie: Mm, you should call them, tell them your loin is waiting.

Oh, the company I keep :)

Mom wants me to accompany her to vote later. And I've got a fair bit of work to do for school. Mraowr.
