Let the stars decide

Hello Giraffes, cookies and Pandas,

So yesterday, I learned that Mr Tan’s father passed away, and I couldn’t help but feel slightly melancholic. Even though I really don’t know the man. I guess I just really felt sad for Mr Tan. I always felt that Mr Tan was the closest to his parents, always taking care of them and bringing them everywhere. Saw them having lunch opposite xin min on polling day earlier this year. Mr Tan’s father seemed very strong, mentally. Still able to socialize with my parents :’) , he had been on dialysis but I am pretty certain that yesterday (or the day before, can’t remember) was just really the time for him to go. So the other bands were aware of his passing because their teachers in charge told them all, but we haven’t been informed. I’m not too sure why our teachers are keeping the news from us but I’m probably going down to the wake anyway with the few other band kids. I think my parents want to go too. Sigh, I feel really sad for Mr Tan. He still puts on a strong front though, Jillene told me, like he always does. That’s Mr Tan.

Also yesterday, Clare got confirmed. Baptised. That’s what you call it right? I didn’t go down, and I think it’s not a bad thing that I didn’t anyway. I really would have loved being there to support Clare since I know how special yesterday was to her but I honestly don’t think it would’ve been cool for me to sit through all the. The. I dunno what to call you. You fill in the blank. But I am very happy that she is very happy now, with the ‘Germaine’ to fill the space between ‘Clare’ and ‘Yeap’. (O my, ‘Germaine’ really makes me miss Germaine.) 

Friday I got my haircut in 16mins. All I really did was place my hand at the length I wanted my hair at and the guy guy just did his thing. Then I realized how much I didn’t care about how my hair looked I dunno I just suddenly realized because I wasn’t even watching what he was doing. End product = Slightly layered hair at…. A little bit more below my shoulders. I was satisfied. I mean, all I really wanted was a haircut right? So that I wouldn’t be rapunzel anymore. And that’s what I got.

Alright, it’s 8:32, time for dinner.
