this took me half an hour

It's 20 minutes to 11pm and I've decided to use this time to post a quick update. Shaun went in for his BMT training yesterday. For those who doesn't know what BMT is, it's a NS basic training thing (can't be bothered to know what the abbreviation stand for grr..). In short the boyfriend has to serve the nation for 2 whole years. The BMT is about 9 weeks or so and he gets to come home on the weekends after the confinement period (is it the right term?). That is if everything goes smoothly. I suppose it wouldn't make a difference if he gets to come out a day earlier once I get used to it. & of course, that is if I were to be overseas since I can't touch/smell/taste him via the webcam.

The one day went by pretty ordinarily. I missed the first 2 slots of my timetable due to body aches after 40 minutes of pilates yesterday. Yes, I've started working out once more!! *cries out to the world in glee* I finally joined the gym (Gymbox) on Monday. It was a pleasant surprise when I was told that I am able to get a cheaper rate (corporate) since I'm a student of LSE. I totally love surprise discounts! So obviously I signed up on the spot. Gymbox is the gym that I've been lusting for since A levels just because of their marketing strategy i.e. how they call their classes e.g. Commando Training, Pilates Bootcamp, Look Better Naked... let's hope it's not just marketing strategy, you know what I mean? I really hate getting my feelings cheated! No surprise discounts will ever make up for my bruised soul.

Anyway, headed down to Gucci to send my bag for repairing and check if my sister's bag is ready for collection (sent it in for dry cleaning). Oh yes, guess what happened? The handle of my bag came off! Yea, I have been really jinxed with my possessions nowadays. I got it like about 2 months ago and only used it like 3-5 times maximum. Just imagine the horror I have to suffer when I felt one of the handles coming lose, slipping off my shoulder and seeing the dislodged handle swaying from one direction to another. As I try to recall it, the moment seemed like as if it was in slow motion. Total O_O

The guy told me that the servicing fee will be waived but it'll take about 4-6 weeks for it to be fixed. To think that he told me I can only collect my sister's bag in another 4 weeks... seriously guys?! Is my sister's bag having that great a time at Florence that it's not willing to come back? It'll really suck if I can't get my bag before I head back to Singapore, which is in about 6 weeks. LE SIGH.

Academics is going downhill (work is piling up hence academics can only go down the hill ahahahahhahahhahaa get it?!!), energy level is plummeting to a very low level and my dark circles are definitely increasing in circumference. ARGH, I NEED SOME COMFORT.

I miss mon petit ami so much!!
