Van is happy, for the time being. I finally bought my prom outfit! Ha the HC girls got a preview when they spotted me in the shop at Far East trying on shoes. SO EMBARRASSING. Felt like an idiot. Then yanfang doubled back to look again somemore. HA. In case any of you are reading this, my mom thinks you all are damn amusing. Hahaha. Tomorrow's accessory shopping. Need to get earrings and stuff. Total expenditure so far: a whopping $316. Shit. So much for not spending so much for prom huh.. damn. It was between the skirt/top combi for $188 or the olive green tube dress for $129. Then I decided that I won't wear the dress again, so got the skirt/top. (See, I'm being practical). Oh and i found out that shops in Far East do NOT carry size 2 shoes!!! I went to every single shop and tried like 53875787589 pairs and noooo. Sigh. Eventually bought boots for $89 because there was no other choice. Damn. To think I went to Far East only to look for cheaper shoes. Bah.

Anyways, it was back to Macritchie today. I didn't know that 167 from town takes only 15min to get to Mac, so I reached training one freaking hour early. Had a talk with Shien about the goings on in the team. Honestly, I'm quite appalled at what I've been hearing from Michelle and Justin, about how the seniors get snubbed during training. What to do. SIGH. Thank goodness today was calm, or else I might lose my head. Me and Peishan. So girls, please rein us in. Don't let the two people with the worst tempers in the team explode or things might get ugly. A T2 is SO HEAVY. Before I started rowing I already had lactic buildup. Then AFTER training had to carry the boat back. OH MY GOD. In the words of Xintian, I'm very very old and rusty already ):

Nevertheless, today's events made me temporarily forget about things. They don't call it retail THERAPY for nothing. (Eh, $316 okaaay, it better be effective therapy.) Justin: I'm ok, healing, and "bucking up" and just being resolute. Aren't you proud of me?
