fee fi fo fum

tomorrow is the day i'm actually going to a school event other than a microbiology lecture. a glitzy affair named Dinner and Dance in actual fact. theme : Mafia.

utter stupidity. i wonder why i even agreed to go in the first place. taking chances, giving new things a try, i've done it all. but only when my gut instinct prompts me strongly to. but this time around, i just haven't the foggiest idea why i'm going. cos my very initial response was just one of no-freakin-way.

it baffles me why some of my classmates are spending so much money on new suit, new dress, new accessories, for some 3-hour event that doesn't even have a pageant at least to show off the clothes. isn't it more challenging to spend the least amount of money and most amount of creativity to come up with an one-of-a-kind outfit that actually suits the Mafia theme? instead of wanting to play it safe and pick an outfit off the rack. but that's just the nit-picky me talkin.

i guess the main reason why i'm so sian bout the entire affair is the elaborate preparation that has to be done beforehand. it ain't fun when it ain't spontaneous, baby. and it's all very make-believe. very pretend-pretend. and did i mention the very fact that i actually spent 80 plus bucks on this thing?! including the ticket money of course. and it's the bare minimum already. (i spent 3 bucks on a belt from This Fashion for my outfit).

oh well. maybe it's just me. hard to get me psyched up for anything, really. i'm like antisocial + jaded to the power of 1000 or somethin.
