since im taking a break from my hideous shakespeare essay (i've been bullshitting for the whole morning and all i have is 1200 words!!!) i shall talk about..more shakespeare..haha..

so yesterday me and michele decided to skip interactive media lecture to go to the library and borrow a copy of Prospero's Books, which is an adaptation of shakespeare's the tempest, and watch it for the purpose of michele's presentation and class. since we were kinda running out of time, michele proceeded to watch it first while i ran off to the book section to try and get some useful books for my essay. upon returning, i got the most alarming shock in my life. i saw heaps of naked people parading on the television screen. i kid you not. it was horrible! it was scary! and it was most distasteful! my gosh. i dont know how explicit i should be in my description here (there might be little kids reading my blog..you never know..they could have you sued!) but it was so bad it was traumatizing!!! go ask michele if you dont believe me..i was really thankful for the break my eyes needed when we had to stop the show halfway to go for tutorial...

the second part of the show was anything but better..still the same..still all these naked people, both men and women, walking around in the buff..tsk..i was commenting to michele that they must have hired these people from a nudist colony or somthing..i mean..how can so many people walk around naked with each other and not feel weird? sheesh..it wasnt just these naked people that was bad..there was eerie extremely high-pitched the-glass-could-shatter type of singing by this spirit creature, weird and creepy dancing and people with so much body paint they look like things from the netherworld (but i suppose that was the point). it didnt help that the video was old so the colour was like yellowish and dirty. the whole thing is just disturbing. and the best part is.....................its considered a classic. bah.

well. at least the sushi buffet later made up for the traumatizing 2hours and 10minutes. haha. by the time me and mish got there we were both starving and the first few plates were eaten without much conversation exchanged. hahahahaha. two starving uni students. hurhur. was really fun. we managed to come up with our story for thur's visual comm class but the sketches..are..not done..hahahahaha..and we tried coming up with a sadistic alternative. hurhur. yeah..we ate about 35 plates? not bad..haha..and i realise the only sushi i ate was the salmon, tuna and unagi (these two courtesy of michele, i didnt order it) and the rest were like the fried stuff..ahahhaa..many horriblez...

walked down to bugis street later since we were in desperate need to some digesting..michele went to buy earrings for her HANDS people and we had a hard time choosing..hahah..i bought two pairs for myself..yeah..havent bought any since so so long..cause after i came back from bangkok..everything here seems so expensive..hahaha..yeah..and i bought a belt..for only 8bucks!!! they were selling the same thing at the NUS arts bazaar for $12.90...and i thought that was cheap..tsk..i felt so cheated..but happy nonetheless..hurhur..

alright..think i better get back to my essay..tsk..this week is going to be a crazy week..so many deadlines! im drowning in them! ahhhhh! haha..but im looking forward to sunday cause that's when im going with amanda and jim to check out the Manhattan Fish Market at PS..heard too many rave reviews..and of course..more importantly..waiting for jy's internet to be up and running again..
