went to bishan just now to see the dress which wani has been eyeing. it was in actuality very pretty. I tried it on but the cloth was kind of opaque and if I were to buy it for prom night, I'd have to wear pants underneath. finally put it back and accompanied wani buy her sandals.
cruised around town later. went back to good ol' Far East Plaza when in fact, I had been there just a day ago. brought dillah to the salon where I highlighted my hair. she highlighted hers too. yayness to the Golden Villagers (?)
left her there and then wani, me and my sis went in search of my prom dress. I finally bought a sassy, saucy, spicy black dress! haha. looked out for some accessories too. at the end of the day, I still thought that I had some more things to buy.
on another note, it was the release of the PSLE results today. I sensed the disappointment in my sister but I am sure that she had done her very best. though targets were not met, I am proud of her for having the determination to top her class. and she did just that. her results may not be so good as compared to my PSLE results but sis, read this:
as the first child in the family, I had received the most care and attention from our parents. on top of that, I was given the privilege of tuition. our parents, especially mom, always made sure that I was properly educated. four years later, you were born. I knew mom was already tired out. you may not receive equal amount of attention from her but I am glad you were determined to work on your own. you should feel blessed that your results reflect your own effort and not from the aid of tuition, etc. since I had tuition in primary school, the pressure to do well in exams was infinitely larger. I wouldn't want dad's money to go to waste just like that. I had to repay him and soaring in the exams was all I could afford to do. please don't give up. you still have the bigger exams coming up. I challenge you to perform better than me in the 'O' levels. right now, which school you go to doesn't even matter. it is you who determine how the school will be, not the school which determines who you will be.
one final note. to my cousin who will be married later today, I know you're busy with the preparations and may not have time to read this. just want to wish you all the best in entering a new chapter of life and may your marriage last forever.
