the musings of a technophobe

My batch is stupidly disunited. Forgive me for wanting to do something different, for a change. Apparently it gets met with comments like "ARE YOU CRAZY??!! you won't have time to study?!" If I were a cartoon character, there would a black, scrunched-up cloud hanging over my head right now.

2009-10-11T04:42:00.001-07:00

I need to do something exciting NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm becoming a bum.

2009-10-04T08:30:00.000-07:00

Sorry to have quoted the um beauty queen in the last post. I jumped on the trend right before the credit card issue exploded and now, I appear to be a failing poser!!

Spent a good part of the day watching the twilight zone episodes on you tube (I refuse to be a pirate like the rest of the world).. Go watch it! It really messes with your mind. Now I feel like watching a horror movie :)

2009-09-01T02:41:00.001-07:00

one stupid week, where EVERYTHING is going wrong. usually there'll be one or two saving graces to hold you up when you're falling down the extremely slippery slope. but now everything is going BOOM at the same time. or maybe I can quote the infamous ris low when she says "vff-booms!" with the hands 'fake-exploding' from the shoulders in an uncoordinated fashion.

I'm waiting for my hair to dry at 12.30 am as I sniffle away so here goes nothing....

1) I'm going to miss you grace :( *lip trembles* but you have such a gigantic adventure awaiting you and I realised today just how many friends you have! how in the world do you manage all of them?? anyway thanks for practically assaulting me with your camera today :D

2) I have a very cool clique within the og now. I actually look forward to going to school but the lectures...well, they're not too appetising, given their length and the 10 min break between TWO 2 hour lectures. Bleah. It's just like the double period lectures in lt 4 in rj and double period lectures were always the mark of That Evil Day In The Week. Anyway looks like we're most definitely going to europe next year! I'm so secretly happy, I could skip with happiness :D We have a grand plan to book everything early so that we'll have no choice BUT to make sure we do well in pros.

3) I may be always complaining about how I'm dying of restlessness in school, but I'm secretly very happy with what I'm studying and I can't believe how lucky I am. What a narcisstic post. It's difficult to explain why..

4)Look forward to seeing the class tomorrow!.. Though my throat isn't very suited for ice-cream bleah.

5) September better be awesome!

6) By the way, someone needs to tell me how to use punctuation. I have forgotten. I am dead serious. Please refer to the " I realised today just how many..." sentence above.

7) OH YEAH. My tutee looks like the boy in Up. I just can't stand it!

8) I have officially reached my "Scrubs" saturation point so I have switched back to "F.R.I.E.N.D.S". I think Ross is seriously mistreated.

P.S. By the way, chew on this.
Singtel Mobile Student Plan:

2009-08-20T06:08:00.000-07:00

I am lazy, just like a cat :) (inside joke) and I will write more tomorrow.

2009-07-22T06:44:00.001-07:00

I'm really very scared about being entrusted with birthdays. It's a big responsibility. It's a really big responsibility. I remember getting into a decently huge argument with a friend about this. I think I said something along the lines of "Why in the world would you want to spend your birthday with me? Like why me?! You have other people to spend it with!!". Not that I didn't want to, but I'm just very suspicious when people are willing to spend their birthdays with me and quite frankly, scared of ruining it. Am I a freak or what?

I met gail today! Hello gail, if you read this, you are very fun to explore places with <3 I walked everywhere today. Nearly everywhere in town. From bugis to cityhall to ps to mt sophia to here and there etc etc. I even went to the bank in smu. I never knew there was a bank in smu. Soup spoon had really bad soup today. Places always let me down when I recommend them to people! Anyway, I have decided that from now on, whenever I go to town, I shall walk there from farrer park. Saves transport money and I feel healthier already! Hope you liked your b&j's treat! I really don't do that for everyone.

The guys in my og are so enthusiastic and eager about picnics that they write such long emails about it that put me to shame, despite them not even possessing a shred of femininity(Or at least I think so). Must be because nearly all of them have girlfriends to pamper!

2009-07-18T21:04:00.001-07:00

Since a CERTAIN SOMEONE told me I should just shut down my blog already, I shall talk about my life now.

1) I'm totally freaked about my driving test(since I failed the last one) and I am so very jealous whenever I see twenty-something year-old girls driving around in their personal nissan sunnys(or basically a cute, small car) with the L plate at the front and back. You have what I want :( A driving license and a personal car!

2)Can I continue later? Okay bye.

3) Btw I want to watch public enemies.

4) Mum/min qi! I postponed my wisdom teeth operation to december :D temporary relief!

2009-07-05T03:31:00.001-07:00

quick update: been a bit sick, ran to the doctor immediately, definitely not h1n1 but I think the greater purpose of running to the doctor was in order to get well SOON, instead of waiting for it to go away on its own, I hate being sick. Sucks. When school starts, I'm going to exercise more, I promise. I don't know - run, whatever.

Oh yeah and my mum had a brilliant idea for me to get tutees (though now, I really think it's a very stupid thing considering how I will have very little time in the future. To begin with, I was never really a multi-tasker). So I went to paste an ad on my condo notice board. Now, I have way too many people calling and to make things worse, they are all so STINGY. Don't accuse me of being money-minded, it's really WAY WAY below market rate. urrrgggh

and I was so worried about socialising all over again and making stupid first impressions but I have to say my og mates are really nice and socialising felt far from a chore. Haha maybe cos they're all so eager not to make a stupid first impression too.

OOOH I have the cutest ogl btw. They are like twelve ogls per og so you won't be able to guess who anyway, even if you stalked me. Which no one does. but oh man sooooo cute. And I know I told a friend before that I can't bring myself to call a male "cute" but "handsome" seems only appropriate for husband material.

I feel so lucky to have audrey around btw. She's like one of the people I trust most. She lends me sleeping bags, replies smses almost immediately, writes me long nice notes, prints pretty stickers with my name on it for me, tops up money in my cdc account for me when I can't go there, waits patiently(or not-so-patiently) for me when I'm late as usual.

So many btws. Last important question: Anyone want to watch harry potter sneaks with me on 15 july evening? (I'm presuming there'll be sneaks then.) I'll even book with my credit card. Pity the poor soul who has to have all 4 of her wisdom tooth extracted on 16 july and whose face will probably be swollen beyond recognition for the next 2 weeks after that...PLEASE.

nothing's gonna change my world

2009-06-16T05:51:00.001-07:00

Okay the reason why I do not write here often (other than me worrying that I wouldn't have anything intelligent to say! Please also note that I hardly have anything to comment here on politics/current affairs. Partly because I do not want to be flamed and I'm also quite aware that I'm capable of saying something blasphemous without even realising it. God how could I even consider law last time?! I would be such a shame to the legal service..)is because I'm too lazy to write a long post. And so I succumb to short ones. And to me, short ones are only fit for poignant entries, musing the what-could-have beens.. (I was going to write something along the lines of "short entries don't do justice in representing happy days", but I thought I better avoid the word "justice" as well to not feel so guilty of what a bad lawyer I would have been, had I gotten in!)

Okay that was a very un-intelligent paragraph. I even feel kind of high! But anyway, this week has been pretty good so far and the weeks ahead look even rosier. A good change :) If you know me well enough, you'll know I'm always complaining about something or another! My mum says I have the longest face she has ever seen. But she also tells me that I should get married quickly so that she can collect back all the money she has given all these years for the marriages of so-and-so's children. So you should know better than to take her seriously ;)

P.S. Am I to feel weird for hating the song 'Boom boom pow'?

I am really very alarmed at my inability to learn lessons. Or act according to the once-bitten-twice-shy rule. If you take things out of the context I'm thinking of, I would probably be the person with charred hands who still derives some joy from playing with fire. "Will you get me or won't you?" *swipes hand out of the way*

But not again. This time will really be different!!

2009-06-03T18:43:00.000-07:00

suzanna, I promise when you drag your scholarship owning soul to edinburgh later this year, I will write here regularly and religiously AND constructively so that you will know what exactly is going on in my life.. maybe something like this:

1) I don't understand what I'm studying.
2) No one knows who I am, even though they were from the same jc as me.
3) I was never good at calculating pH.
4) I need more clothes.
5) I need better skin
6) I need a nicer set of teeth
7) No one wants to eat DESSERT with me
8) xyz is very good-looking.
9) The canteen food sucks (Jy and I already had a preview, remind me to tell you about how a 1.4 m guy with a nasal voice flirted with her there the other day.)

Can someone tell me how to get tutees?? Look in classifieds? I promise to study what I'm going to teach properly first and I won't scold!

2009-05-09T07:39:00.000-07:00

1) I ate way too much seafood today. Lobster, crab, deep-fried fish. Then we ate the left-overs for dinner too ;) with those damn nice fried buns!! And our lunch bill for 3 people cost 200 bucks!!!!!!!!

2)I'm going to JAPAN! I'm really happy about that :) I promise to embrace the culture and eat all the sushi in the world despite the fact that I kind of hate seaweed.(On the topic of seaweed, please do not go to TEADOT at the new bugis shopping mall, iluma, unless you are a great fan of drinking drinks, made from blending milk and copious amounts of seaweed, that are then named "cookie monster's favourite" in order to trick customers. If you are a great fan, then PLEASE, for god's sake, improve on your taste)

3) I'm going to KL this weekend. Nothing exciting. I miss dance night and Jy has to suffer alone for that silly art tour thing we do nearly every saturday morning.

4) And my future is now secure :) and no longer bleak!

5) If I had a dollar for everytime my mum has bragged about me today.. I swear I would have 50 dollars.(btw this is a very rare phenomenon..)

6) X-men sucked! It was just so so terrible, I tell you.

2009-04-06T19:44:00.003-07:00

It is not criminal to look average. (don't say less than average, I will slap you. Haven't you heard of tact?!)

2009-04-02T07:06:00.000-07:00

Note: If you're a guy, and you want to mess with my mind, I understand. You just want to be as disgusting as all your other mates. If you're an animal, and you want to mess with my mind, I understand. Life is boring and you need cheap thrills and nothing beats seeing a human being run away from you, screaming(sorry read too much sherman's lagoon). BUT YOU'RE A FRIGGIN' COMPUTER SYSTEM, DO NOT MESS WITH MY MIND!!

damn

2009-03-30T07:20:00.001-07:00

I seriously think I should not go on a date until 2015 or when I am more mature(whichever comes later), because my poor date will feel like he is dying many deaths again and again. Why is it, that whenever I plan to go to a particular place, it is always either closed down for good, relocated or boarded up for renovation??

Well, at least, I haven't come across a situation where the outlet has just miraculously disappeared, with no trace of its previous existence whatsoever. That would be just like in the show "Fact or Fiction". Hm I remember loving it a lot in primary school - but now that I think of it, all the stories were so ridiculous.

Urgh I met aud today, and I thought "hey! let's be adventurous and walk all the way to the tanglin mall side where we can eat spageddies, because my dad always drives past it, and I just stare through the windows wistfully.." Turns out spageddies is finito. To be replaced with "Chilies..", coming soon! Wow sounds hot enough! :(

Okay so we ended up eating at some strange cafe, where it wasn't too bad but hey I won't know till my food gets digested right....

Anyway, I better go and write words in the more important boxes online which will hopefully get me a desirable place in uni.

and every moment was so precious

2009-03-27T00:35:00.001-07:00

I've been spending the whole day in front of the computer today and I HATE it.
my schedule: wake up at 9, eat breakfast, use computer, eat lunch, use computer, afernoon nap, use computer..

Though technology really has made everything more convenient and I can't fault its existence, it's the reason why I've become a sloth. And I don't see how all this msn, fb and email is making any of us truly happier. I wish I could talk to my friends more often in person and that's all I need.

Other than stupid annoying buzz at the back of my brain called pessimism, this week's been great! and the highlight is coldplay! Words really really really cannot describe how wonderful it felt watching them live, so I'll let the pictures from my lousy 5 megapixel camera phone do the talking..(not that I'm ungrateful - I still remember the days I wanted a camera phone clearly, but this baby has nothing on the 10 megapixels and above out there)

Right, I bet the pictures weren't very good conversationists. Anyway, here's the setlist I stole from an unsuspecting blogger:

1) Life In Technicolor
2) Violet Hill
3) Clocks
4) In My Place
5) Yellow
6) Glass of Water
7) Cemeteries of London
8) 42
9) Fix You
10)Strawberry Swing
11)God Put A Smile Upon My Face
12)Talk
13)The Hardest Part
14)Viva La Vida
15)Lost!
16)Speed of Sound
17)Death Will Never Conquer
18)I'm a Believer - The Monkees
19)Politik
20)Lovers in Japan
21)Death and All His Friends
22)The Scientist
23)Life In Technicolour II

The concert was just purely magical and if you're a coldplay fan, and you missed it, then better luck next time!(navene don't give up half-way!). They had red lasers during "Clocks", just like in their music video, and there was this time they dragged all their musical paraphernalia to a spot in the crowd at our side, to sing no. 16, 17 & 18, and Ash and I couldn't decide if we should move nearer or not, because we were worried about our bags. HAHA.

And Ash thinks the guitarist, guy berryman, looks like the Maroon 5 lead singer and I agree. Oh yup, not to forget that the drummer, Will Champion, sang no.17 and I think it's a creepy song with a happy tune. Ooh they did some techno version of "God put a smile upon your face" and at the start, everyone was like "HUH what song is this?" but then when they started singing, everyone started cheering.

I'm sad they didn't play "don't panic" and "trouble" because I love those 2 songs so much.. but given the fact that they sound the same or even much better(with all their improvisations)in real-life, I'll listen to it through my cheap earphones and close my eyes and pretend I'm in the indoor stadium.

I must also add that the lighting and the effects were really nice! Nothing over-the-top, no flying foxing from one end of the stadium to the middle of the stage (haha), but the whole stadium was PINK during "Strawberry swing" and of course, YELLOW during "Yellow". And there were huge yellow balloons filled with yellow confetti, which chris martin(omg I just realised I didn't talk about him yet, how did that happen?!) occasionally punctured with one end of his guitar and all the confetti just sprayed out.

Sadly, I have no memorabilia to remind me of this amazing night, except the concert ticket stub. I was hoping to get a shiny butterfly confetti like the one below, having heard about it earlier, but the lucky 248 buckies got SHOWERED in them instead.

Ash and I loved it :) and I wrote this down for memory's sake! totally going again the next time they come.

2009-03-26T19:03:00.001-07:00

I'm everything you lost. You won't forgive me.
My memory keeps getting in the way of your history.
There is nothing to forgive. You won't forgive me.
I hid my pain even from myself; I revealed my pain only to myself.
There is everything to forgive. You can't forgive me.
If only somehow you could have been mine,
what would not have been possible in the world?

I don't even know why I'm writing when I have nothing much to say. I'm just very confused and hungry. I think it's no wonder that I'm losing weight since I'm hungry all the time and the hunger never seems to get satisified with enough food. I feel like I've been eating just minimally - none of any of recent meals have been enough. (OKAY except maybe the jumbo dinner we had last monday, that was just way too much, 1.5 kg of crab between 2 people, sorry to all the vegetarians who had to read this). I weigh 46 kg and I find that very very freaky(once again, sorry to all the people who think that that number is the key to their happiness). I'm very tired, confused and scared :( (not only about the weight).

bittersweet

2009-03-06T10:26:00.000-08:00

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part

And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart

And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it’s all about
I wonder what it’s all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart

Oh and it’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

I had a good day of sorts today(or yesterday), but I just CAN'T sleep right now. It's 2.30 a.m. and all I want is for 6 a.m. to come, so I can wake up and wash my hair and face a brand new day.

don't be sad

2009-03-02T16:31:00.000-08:00

Oh, c'mon smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
What's the use in cryin' ?
In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin'
I know that he hurt you bad
I know, darling, don't be sad and
Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie

Okay this has absolutely no relevance to my life whatsoever, but I heard this in a bookstore yesterday and it was just so... nice.(for the lack of a better word). Speaking of books, I have an entire booklist that I want to buy but doing that would burn a big hole in my pocket. Seriously I can just walk around the whole place and every few seconds I'd think "OMG, I WANT THAT" and "AND THAT..AND THAT AND THAT AND THAT".(Note chick lit is not present on the list, in case you were skeptical) I think I shall spend thursday evening - friday morning sleeping, reading and listening to nice music :)

2009-02-23T18:33:00.000-08:00

PostSecret is smile-inducing! Some are plain funny(the above are not the funny ones though), others are plain scary, while some can be really quite shocking even though all have only one sentence. I always wondered if people spent weeks thinking of something sensational to make up..

nobody knows the way it's gonna be

2009-02-23T17:49:00.000-08:00

Now this is what I'll write on 24th feb. It is 24th feb right?? Anyway, right now, two of my dad's employees are watching a video showing how vasectomy is conducted at the computer across me. (As in I can't see it, the computer is faced the other way.)
I also don't recall my dad ever selling any medical product that features in a vasectomy operation. So...pervs!

Anyway, my life is sad and miserable as usual but I shall try to be optimistic and "smell the roses" in life. Someone please show me the roses in life, thank you very much for my eyes are very very swollen.

watch slumdog! even if it means following the crowd and paying attention to all the hype. you too ben! If you can listen to/ have nitin sawhney's music in your iPod, you'll like the soundtrack! Latika's theme is really nice :)

The driving instructor said I could book a pratical test date already YAY.(But the earliest date is in may). For once in my life, I'm actually doing something decently.

AND almost everyday, I check sistic.com.sg and am secretly happy to see the prices of the coldplay tickets in red(meaning they're all sold out EVEN THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONES) because we have tickets, and if we hadn't decided then, we wouldn't have any now!

2009-02-23T00:36:00.000-08:00

Before my results come out, I really really really really really really want to eat something nice. LIKE CAKE OR ICE-CREAM ON CAKE OR ICE-CREAM WITH WAFFLES OR A SOUFFLE. It's been upgraded from a luxury to a neccessity. This is a BIG BIG BIG BIG hint to all my friends. if you're even here?

(This is what I wrote on 23rd feb but had to close the window before i could press "publish post")

2009-02-11T22:07:00.000-08:00

I hate it when people make it seem like they do more work than they actually do. Hello you only just stopped being a student. But I drove on the road today woohoo! For more than an hour! It was quieter than the typical roads but still i'm on my way ;)

2009-02-04T08:23:00.000-08:00

AVATAR
courtesy of anu! dev patel(the guy with big ears that I really want to pull of "slumdog milionaire" fame)acts though ;)

On 20/01, I really want...

2009-01-20T06:01:00.000-08:00

1) someone to tell me all about polaroid cameras and how they work/where to buy.
2) to know how to do the right thing at the right time
3) to go on an adventure(though I think this is going to be solved soon ;))
4) to feel like my future isn't dismal
5) to eat dinner with someone who shares the same food taste as me
6) to buy the perfect birthday present
7) to be able to say the right things
8) to buy a comfortable pair of shoes (I swear I have overused this pair of flats, they are really going to burst open soon! And I really don't want to be there when that happens but duh I will.)

2009-01-18T21:39:00.000-08:00

I obviously made a bad sacrifice. *shakes head* I am a lamb.

What I really want to say is....

2009-01-16T07:28:00.000-08:00

1) Please stop fighting. It gets us all nowhere and clearly, it has ruined the evening(or night).

2) I don't know why I am so apathetic about this but I will probably rue this in a few months' time. goodbye!

3) Joining a hate group that lambasts a particular individual(not cause)on a social networking site is just plain retarded. No one wants to know your views on so and so, please.

4)Why is it that when I have the money to buy something I want or need, I can never find what I want or need? I went to buy ben & jerry's - and there was no strawberry cheesecake!

5) My cousin is getting married! I think he had like 1010103 girlfriends while I was growing up and I've ALWAYS ALWAYS wondered who the final one would be. so exciting :D

6)Why do people sound so OLD when they talk on msn?

7) I passed my BTT!(I swear I was going to have a heart attack when I clicked "end test" because I kept thinking about how embarrassing it would be if I failed and I kept hearing pseudo mocking conversations with my mum in my head(i am not crazy!)and ONLY I know how horribly careless I am and that a buffer of 5 questions is just NOT enough for a person as careless as me. Bottomline is I'm thankful.) almost makes me dread the practical lessons a little less ;)

8) I feel better already. I think I just experienced the therapeutic side effect of blogging for the first time ever :)

2009-01-05T03:39:00.001-08:00

Oh man. I'm still sick. Do you notice that when I'm sick, I tend to keep talking about it? Like whenever I'm sick, it's always the same case. But the last time I was sick was May 2008, so I guess I spared my friends for about 7 months, huh? Anyway I managed to get leave today and succeeded by refusing to answer any calls to wake up and coughing. Eventually they gave up :)

So, I spent the morning watching meet the parents and coupling. I think the former is a sad sad sad movie where everything goes wrong for the protagonist(in a slapstick clumsy way of course - he sets his potential in-law's house on fire, his luggage goes missing bla bla) and you can't help but think "MY GOD that reminds me of myself!!!"

And coupling is freaking funny in the rofl way(trying to appeal to the weirdos who use that term. While on this topic, let me say i detest lol. lol makes you appear disinterested while talking to me. I try not to read too much into things.)but it's quite sick show but freaking funny.

Anyway, there's 4 more days to friday boo

2009-01-03T07:24:00.000-08:00

HO HO HO. Today I got the most awesome housecall in the world :D haha love you guys :)
and suz got a new steamboat with bbq.
ho ho so I got myself some good karma, while suz got herself a new chinese new year toy.
I'm really happy even though my nose is being funny now and I won't be awake for long and my whole family is sick (okay fine there's only 3 of us).

2008-12-31T22:36:00.000-08:00

What a way to start the new year. Woke up feeling sick and then later bumped into one of my least favourite people :s but no pessimism!!

2008-12-31T00:52:00.000-08:00

Okay the previous post sounds stupid and detached. okay but my point is, be happy! I spent like 1/4 of 2008 reminding myself to be happy, because I have it luckY. even if I have to wear ugly spectacles ordinarily. HAHA and you won't guess how i'm spending new years' eve and i'm not telling you but i can just laugh to death thinking about it, that's how stupid it sounds :D

and new year resolution 1 on the superficial new years' list should be: stop being overly dramatic.
2) pass driving
3) watch all the quirky movies in the world
4) find a horror movie kakhi
5) get rid of old obsessions and get rid of them quick
6) make a proper list

I'm NOT even going to think about writing "learn how to rollerblade" because rollerblading and I are not meant to be, as I have learnt after many years. sorry jy!

2008-12-31T00:24:00.001-08:00

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

I read this somewhere a long time ago and saved it in my laptop. I know it may be a bit too cheesy or love-centred for my liking but, hey it reminds you to be happy :)

Anyway, I think I had a pretty good 2008. It's had a lot of ups and downs..I've been completely saddened but also felt really blessed at times.(I don't really know how to describe the ups and downs.) Thanks to anyone who's spent sometime with me this year(studying or eating or talking or gossiping or bullying :p), wrote me a card, wished me , shared a laugh with me.. It's been nice :) I sure wish I did my A levels more justice though :/ I hope it doesn't mar my 2009! *touches wood*

Oh yeah. I made resolutions last year, but I don't even know where I put them. SO.. still deciding whether I should make resolutions or not!

2008-12-26T17:13:00.000-08:00

wow the previous post had so many grammatical errors. but I'm too lazy to correct it. excuse me, will you, I have the tendency to screw up :D

2008-12-26T02:08:00.000-08:00

hi, meet me. I have an extremely (and I mean, extremely) high tendency to screw up, which up till now, I have attributed to all my silly decision. BUT NO I HAVE REALISED, the stars are against me - explaining why I'm in a stupid situation which I did nothing to get into. ARGH. I'm really sorry though you won't be reading :(

he's making a list, he's checking it twice..

2008-12-24T02:37:00.000-08:00

HEY! I'm in a good mood today! The kind of mood where I want to put ten smileys in a row, which in technological terms, means I'm very happy. Though I've no idea why. I bought new clothes today! But, as usual, when I tried it on again when I reached home, I didn't look nice in it anymore. The mirrors in dressing rooms always play tricks on me and I ALWAYS FALL FOR THEM. sigh at least it was a sale :)

Okay, don't you just love xmas? I mean there's xmas cards and food and stupid people wearing ugly versions of santa hats and decorations and a gift-receiving(and um gift-giving)atmosphere.

I wanted to say something else but I forgot. okay nevermind but remember the word of the day is YAY.

...HE'S GONNA FIND OUT WHO'S NAUGHTY OR NICE.

hi you all

2008-12-21T02:16:00.000-08:00

Simran just forced me to update, so I will. WHAT ABOUT THOUGH, I want to ask her. I mean it has only been 25 days since I last blogged. Not a month yet :D

So I've been working for my dad. Before you all accuse me of being boring or lazy(as in to search for an outside job), let me tell you I have it better than all of you because:

a) My bosses love me to death, and hence by default, will not sack me (one wonders if that's a good thing.. even if I wanted to resign, it would never be approved)
b) I get to eat/go and buy food whenever I'm hungry
c) Surf the net/fb etc.
d) Go home early

The disadvantage being, it can be rather boring and I have to wake up in the morning(Otherwise, I can get up in the afternoon. Kidding. I'm not as piggish as you think I am).Oh yeah, did I mention I get paid decently? :D :D :D

Okay, since I am such a loser who has yet to watch Vaaranam Aayiram unlike the rest of the tamil-movie watching world(though I did try to hunt down the cd yesterday but the guy looked like he wanted to slap me. He said "3 weeks" with a DUH face, and I was thinking "FINE SORRY. LET THERE BE A LITTLE HOPE IN THIS WORLD, WOULD YOU").. I'm complaining here but it was really not meant to be! The fates did not work to my benefit!

Random fact: Sushi is actually quite nice. I'VE BEEN CONVERTED, YOU ALL.

Okay I shall leave you here with something funny I found the other day...

HAHA.

gaah

2008-11-26T10:06:00.000-08:00

I just spent 10 minutes at 2 am trying to decide. To click or not to click. I am such an idiot. Most people have greater worries in their life, you know.

2008-11-26T07:35:00.001-08:00

Guys are HORRIBLE(with the exception of my dear classmates)! I'm really glad to not have any bgr problems now. Man, they SUCK.

Okay this week's been one strange week. First down, now up. Anyway, I've been re-reading my sister's keeper and crying non-stop. Seriously, cancer is so scary and unpredictable(to quote mum) and I fail to understand why anyone would want to smoke. Choose your life now, but why possibly ruin future happiness? There's no need to increase the current stakes against you.

And I want to watch slumdog millionaire!

close your eyes, clear your heart

2008-11-23T06:57:00.001-08:00

What is it with you people?

I'm not incapable of dealing with things not going my way, you know. You don't have to mince your words to that extent. If you have something to say, just say it. It's worse when you prolong the pain by talking rubbish extensively. And running around in silly circles. Who wants to listen to the rubbish?

Anyway.... hi! after a long time. Haha what's happened since then? I've turned 18 and sat for my 3rd major exam. And lost my mood to blog for now.

By the way, I think people find it easier to make fanciful promises when you're in the midst of slogging for exams because you have no time (or you're not SUPPOSED to)to make actual details.. which makes it all the easier for them to forget it, once the said exam ends.

2008-10-05T00:55:00.001-07:00

THIS IS DAMN STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry i need this)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just shut up and study.

grrrrr

2008-10-04T03:03:00.000-07:00

For once(and probably just for once), I'd like to disappear somewhere far far away where I won't get chided over stupid things, where I can pretend that when people ignore me, it's because they simply can't reach me(geographical boundaries),where I won't have to think that every stupid thing that happens(@#$%^!!!!) is just another lesson to learn from life's challenges. Okay, actually scrap that, I want to go somewhere where everything works out for me just like the way I want it to. which is nowhere. So, I guess I just have to deal with getting a bit of what I want.

simmie, this is for you

2008-09-25T01:00:00.000-07:00

.. to see the fish I was talking about. and the dancing couple. and the white border.

woo hoo

2008-09-25T00:21:00.000-07:00

Documentation time!
What with exams being over and everything, there's this weird gap of week, during which I must admit, I did very little "useful" things.
Friday: Sentosa! with Jes suz noah jy edu mum hil.
I had the sentosa craving during the june hols, which never got satisfied, so at least it materialised in 2008.
We played beach volleyball (and the ball hit some guy lying on the beach with his girlfriend, and he looked like he was one milliemotion away from pointing his middle finger at us) and 4 of us when kayaking, while the rest played bridge. All of you obs-ers might have kayaked before, but I've never! So it was very fun but only because mum was on the same boat as me(For the uninformed, mum is my classmate who I really love calling mum. The real one's mummy!). And she, of all her canoeing glory, is an excellent partner :D plus the waves were really nice.
And of course, we ate ben & jerry's. Expensive though :( Sweet things in life come at a high price. Haha then we took the tram for fun practically EVERYWHERE and then we decided that we had to do something else for free there, so we watched the... animal show. There was a gambit-like Siberian Husky(suzy's dog is gambit!) and I thought it was really handsome :)(only that the host looked a bit like voldemort...)
gambit-clone

After that, mum jy edu and I shopped at vivo for a while and now I have many hat pictures.

Sat - Wall-e! With audrey! Speaking of which, sheryl janet george watched wall-e TWICE despite scoffing at me when the trailers first came out. Anw, audrey is audrey and audrey has a lot of nice clothes, which make mere mortals like me very jealous. I got a nice expensive drink from her from candy empire, which I tried to take a picture of this morning at 4 am(thursday 4 am) when I finally drank it, but the picture came out too bright. But the packet was really nice and my dad checked if it was made-in-china -.- Speaking of which, he is off to amsterdam. I try to be happy for my family members.

Mon- I played pool! And I managed to hit the ball. Beanie is a good teacher! And so is kiat. Kiat is really pro anw. Shucks anw I played Daytona and everyone kept overtaking me by many laps and I kept crashing into everywhere. You have no idea how ego-damaging this is for me :( not to mention how sure I am now that I'm not going to get my drivers' license. I keep crashing into everywhere on the car racing game on my phone too. If I drive a car next year, I'll be like THE teenage terror. and my dad would no longer have a car. And I saw simmieeee(little miss bad ;) and the gang too! :) I think the pizzahut at PS is over-patronised. Just a thought.

Okay I'm too tired to write now. The rest of the days were normal: watched a lot of tv, did not study, ate a lot, blah blah blah. haha oh! maria and sheryl brought rum in a polar bottle yesterday and they made me smell it.

Just a thought: Do radio DJs hate their job? I mean seeing as they have to play SHITTY songs and pretend to like them(because hundreds of female girls like them) or at least talk about them, and then they have to deal with monosyllabic callers, and they have to do all that decal promotion rubbish and play SHITTY songs?

Haha okay, so it's back to school tmr. I'm not dreading it though, cos I'm exactly where I wanted to be 2 years ago. I mean I wanted to take the A levels right! And there's only 1 week of school. Not ready for it, I will miss many people when school ends :(

pens down

2008-09-16T02:05:00.000-07:00

A breather, finally! 8 papers down, 2 more to go. And the best part is that the last 2 papers only require the use of pencil, and the only words you'd ever have to write is your name. No 15 marks econs essays! No more "discuss the implications/applications of..."!

hurrah!

what to be, that is the question

2008-08-21T03:29:00.004-07:00

hate this. say something! :(

2008-07-18T17:54:00.000-07:00

Please watch the dark knight. It's so freaking awesome!(awesome awesome awesome awesome). The action sequences, the scary joker, the thrill - everything about it! And Heath Ledger was awesome and scary. Just go and watch it!

Haha and yesterday's bio lect was so hilarious!
How to get an ageless face according to LCM. Thinking about it makes me want to laugh. I think I shall miss this when school ends.

2008-07-03T01:56:00.000-07:00

sigh today is a bad day. the most significant part being that I LOST MY PHONE. and the other details are too ego-crushing to recall. I tell you, I used to throw too many paper balls at my primary school tamil substitute teacher, that's why I've been getting all this bad karma. urgh loss of phone means I no longer have all your numbers so I will come and haunt you all soon :(

2008-06-28T01:35:00.000-07:00

zomg this few days have been fun, happy and sad in their own way. Mostly fun though. Once again, I'm not a picture person so no pictureszzz. I will update soon sigh results better not come next week.

singapore's island resort

2008-06-06T19:07:00.000-07:00

okay right now I feel like blogging and I also feel like going to sentosa. And I mean sentosa's not too far away! It takes at most 5 mins to walk to the mrt station(if there's something wrong with your leg)and 13 mins to get to vivo(who ask y'all not to live along the purple line?) and 3 bucks to get in. Of course if you want to see the fishes, you'll have to pay 19.50. If you want to "have adorable Turkish Garra rufa fish swim up and gently nibble your feet" (fish reflexology), you'll have to pay 35. Frolick with the dolphins? Also 19.50. blah blah blah and the list goes on.. Point is I'm in a sentosa mood.

Okay did I mention I'm going on a holiday? Last week :)also means studying not going to go very well. sigh

one of my kind

2008-06-01T00:26:00.000-07:00

so so so so so so so so so so so so freaking heartbreaking :( :(

Haven't blogged here in a really long while and haven't blogged properly in a long while either, but be sure to know, dear blog, I always come back to you when i'm miserable (I sound like an incompetent lover.).
School's over and 3 weeks doesn't seem like a long enough time for me to do whatever I want to do when school's over. sigh

:( :( :( :(

gardens

2008-05-17T01:20:00.000-07:00

moron moron. I was actually looking forward to it.

Anyway here's a little something from yesterday...

this is it now

2008-05-06T04:16:00.000-07:00

you know why I never blog on time like a faithful blogger(eager to show off my exciting life)?

It's because I never have nice photos(not neccessarily of me, I will confirm not have any nice photos like that, but of my surroundings).

And I hate seeing chunks of words clogging up the screen; it's like my brain is slowly but surely switching BOREDOM mode.

I'm far too lazy to take pictures usually and sooo I'm going to stop being a passive camera phone owner from now on. The only photos I have are pictures taken by jy when she holds my phone hostage and she loves to take the top view of my classmates' hair. So if you're from 3R, I may just possess a picture of your scalp! :p

On another note, now I'm sooo much free-er and the feeling of being able to go anywhere on a whim after school or sleeping if you're tired is really nice. Of course now there's no excuse to avoid doing all my work and I'm really really, for once, going to start studying properly. Here's to self-determination! *clinks glass*

And I owe a 101 people birthday presents because their parents deciding sometime back to make them early babies and so i'm going to start getting down to buying presents. Nice ones. Really nice ones. Here's to buying nice presents(so I will get nice ones too :p)! *clinks glass again*

old is gold, NOT.

2008-04-27T03:37:00.000-07:00

So today(on the train ride home, not the bus which was too squashed with people to allow for thinking), I realised how fast we were growing up. Man a few months and poof i'm 18 and legal to do a lot of things that I won't be doing anyway because I have limited freedom. And 3 years later, we'll be 21 and that age, in my opinion, is when everything goes downhill and further downhill because 21 is nature's indication of YOU'RE GROWING OLD. Wrinkles come a few years after or if you're as lucky as me, you'll get a preview of it at 17. (I spy subtle signs of crow's feet under my eyes)

So um cherish your time now and don't waste your youth on complaining about everything around you. Okay lah I just wanted to stay all this because on THE TRAIN RIDE HOME, I realised that our concession passes will be expiring at the end of the year and that means greater travel expenses next year. One bus to yishun can cost us like 1.10(okay I may be wrong, just smoking)? And that's a lot per month if you happen to love yishun a lot. See so enjoy your time while you can tap the ez link card reader and hear 2 beep sounds instead of one.(not the bus driver swearing.)

Anw the coming week is gonna be tough and scary and potentially embarrassing. But we'll see how it goes :) I'm not so much a scaredy cat anymore and and life isn't so tough( even though I haven't studied for my test tmr and I got a bronze for napfa which has never happened to me before *^&9!1#@)

and I never intended to write a stupid descriptive post!

phew

2008-04-05T23:40:00.003-07:00

I spent my voucher on a top today, the day before it expired. Like finally right. I'm relieved. And I just had a fantabulous dinner, so now I'm also very full and satisfied. North indian food is the best and it beats every other type of cuisine in the worlds hands down(in my opinion).

Today I watched "Army Daze"(about 5 boys undergoing BMT) after a really long time on you tube because I happened to come across it and it was rly funny in a stupid way. And the way it was shot was so 1990-s.

"Kenny, don't go too deep into the forest. Remember what happened to Snow White?"

HAHA I think that was damn funny.

Actually after some thought, it should have been Little Red Riding Hood, right?

probably

2008-04-05T23:40:00.001-07:00

Things I learnt today

1) Audrey tautou is gorgeous.
2) Probability will most certainly punish.(not the math topic lah)
3) "Finding one's complementary life partner is SO difficult that many philosophers have defined it as life's purpose."
4) GP essays can teach you about love.
5) I have a philosopher for a friend.
6) Skipping classes can make you feel better.
7) Don't get too passionate when in love, ya? :p

Okay PW results are coming out tmr and the philosopher(not me!) has listed 3 options for herself:
1)If A, skip CCA and go out and celebrate.
2) If B, skip CCA and still go out and celebrate.
3) If C, skip CCA anyway and make sure brother zheng gets home safely.

HAHA joke.

sugar sugar how you get so fly

2008-04-05T23:40:00.000-07:00

I think I have a rather small problem. I tend to confuse my dreams and reality. No, this isn't some emo nonsense about me not knowing and staying within my um allocated place in this (complicated, disturbingly complex, filled with hierachies yada yada yada) teenage society of mine. I am LITERALLY confusing my dreams with reality.

Yest, I was trying to tell janice something that up till then I was sure happened, but then as I told her, I started to realise it was so stupid that I must have dreamed it up. Then as I thought more about it, I realised I did dream it up. And this happens like 24/7(okay not so much maybe like 11/7). I bet if I think about any dream I have all the time and start repeating it all the time, I will start to believe it actually happened.

Also, I need to eat something sweet. NOW. Something edible and artificially sweet(some nutcases would suggest fruit. seriously fruit cannot replace the happiness baked sugar-filled goodies can bring) like a rich chocolate cake, a tub of ice-cream, tiramisu :D etc etc. NOW. Something beyond the cheapest source of happiness I know as of now, the library brownie.

Speaking of happiness, does anyone think that it's extremely cute that the guy behind the campaign looking for Singapore's happiest person is named Philip Merry/ Mr Merry? That's really v cute. Mr Merry on the lookout for merry people.

"I met saif ali khan in all his hot actor glory and he gave me an autograph and a million dollars."
repeat until dreams = reality
:D

2008-03-26T07:52:00.000-07:00

Suz says I don't update my blog frequently enough for her liking(though you see me all the time, so I don't know why you'd want to know about my activities in greater detail)so since I don't feel like studying or doing anything in particular, I'll blog.

So, in a nutshell,
monday - ran 6 rounds + ate the worst steamboat dinner in my life (do not fear,I still love soup)
tuesday - watched "race" with rani and vick. The outing was funny :)
wednesday - ran another 6 rounds + busy day

yay friday, I get to meet gail, after a really long time :)

So GV's raising ticket prices and that means I've lost my interest in watching movies in the cinema because movies are only nice when seen in GV cinemas due to their nice popcorn(nicest compared to the rest at least). Looks like I'll just have to return to my delinquent internet behaviour.

In another news, everyone continues to think I'm a doormat. Not that they treat me like one, but they think I'm capable of being one. Still. Hello?! Doesn't anyone see the changes in my behaviour?

see suz told you it'd be superficial

like a earthquake

2008-03-20T19:36:00.000-07:00

haha I'm in a real I-want-to-watch-street-dance-over-and-over-again mood now! I have imaginary dances(of other people, of course) and the catchy missy elliot songs stuck in my head.

So! Exams are over, so no need for any form of negativity! Feels gooood to be able to be happy :)

headache

2008-03-14T00:45:00.000-07:00

I really don't like the feeling of being constantly tired but when you go to sleep, you just can't sleep. No matter how many numbers you count and no matter how many boring things you can think of and list in a numerical order, you just can't drift off.

Anyway, last night, I spent 3 hours trying to sleep (but yet my brain was not conscious enough to study) and I woke up in the morning crying. get this, CRYING because of a stupid dream involving a select few people in my life in a lethal situation. The details have disappeared from my memory but it was really depressing.

I went to school to get the econs essay left in the pigeonhole and my heart sank when I saw it. I can't do econs for nuts. Just thinking about how I've spent the past 7 years of my life blindly memorizing facts makes my head spin (I included P6 too, I used to memorize "Hot air rises and cold air sinks, creating a.." for the candle questions. Don't even get me started on the condensation qns) and makes me feel like I've accomplised nothing at all. When(and if) I do do well in any form of exam, it's probably because I've been really good at cramming everything into my head. If I don't, then oh well, I can't even MEMORIZE.

Urgh I can't even remember the last time my heart sank over something academic, the emotion is usually just fright.

.

2008-03-07T06:42:00.001-08:00

so this it, huh?

I'm scared but now you see what can go wrong and what is more important.

yes yes I know the drill.

:/

i hate seaweed but i love hamburgers

2008-03-02T03:46:00.000-08:00

Wow it's march already and that puts us 1/3 way to A levels and a whole lot of horror.(okay exaggeration!)
Nothing much happened in the past week except the nothing-to-comment-about GP paper on friday.
We(a small portion of the class)went jap-fooding at this jap eatery called shokudo at raffles city to um do something special on 290208(better than watching leap years! ST said that "the only reason you would think the leads are in love is because it's written in the script" or something to that effect).I actually hate japanese food generally because seaweed turns me off completely, more than smelly boys who make grunting noises for no reason and repeat phrases just to fit into a conversation, but the food here was really quite nice. Thanks to kira for the intro :)

okay time to insert irrelevant picture of the post now!

look mummy it's a hamburger dress!

woo hoo

2008-02-19T01:42:00.000-08:00

ahahaha it's hard to be angry when you come across pictures like this. ahahaha a simpsons take on van gogh. ahahaha

you too

2008-02-19T01:08:00.000-08:00

I'm increasingly annoyed with the brashness and insensitivity of people around me. And it strikes me that more often than not, it is the people who are not qualified to insult who are the ones handing out those insults. And though of late, I've been thinking and regretting how much my character has changed for the worse this past year, I know I've got that little bit of niceness(no matter how little) left in me that stops me from going "Look who's talking". Okay maybe that doesn't show me in a good light but whatever.

This post is a result of 100% annoyance and 0% emoness.

cupid dog

2008-02-16T04:30:00.000-08:00

Haha I love this picture - it's really so cute!

It's an ad for SPCA msia and my way of saying happy post valentines' day :)

sigh no godiva :( but sheryl gave me a nice chocolate muffin!

blackhole

2008-02-10T00:33:00.001-08:00

There's like this GINORMOUS(it's in caps to show just how big it is) blackhole in my room, that is sucking all sorts of mundane items on my table into its domain. The latest victim is my chem notes. No, not some 23-paged spawn of the organic chemistry gods but like the entire syllabus of last year. Make that 23 pages times 357 or something.And binding all my notes last year according to the subject is the one and ONLY step I have ever taken towards neat-dom. This was supposed to exist till I could show them off to my great grand-children.

I swear lots of things are going missing from my table, that it's not even funny.

In other news, I had a really really good weekend for once so I'm not looking forward to the week ahead. No more sleepy dreamy days! AT ALL! And there's Valentines' Day. *sulks* Do not fear, I'm not going to be all unoriginal and complain how this day is just too commercial for its own good. I'm going to complain how every year, I have such unoriginal friends who give me the same old chocolate(Mars, Snickers, Ferror Rocher,Timeout). Even though I'm one of them :p

So friends, take a hint. think godiva or something! :D

black silver

2008-02-01T19:37:00.000-08:00

So I fell sick and skipped school(and the horrible evolution test! at least temporarily) for the first time in 3 years.
That's the horrid part.
Everything else is going good because I feel very content now.
I've been watching episodes online from assorted TV series, eating excessively and talking to old friends.
I've nothing cryptically-emo to write except later I have to leave my comfort zone filled with tissues and maggi mee to go deliver chem tutorials to wc and edu because I am such a lousy chem rep.
!!!!! - but at least I get to see wc emcee!

except for the obscenely long legs, I think silver designs on black paper are real pretty. Now if only I could draw like that!

2008-01-19T18:44:00.000-08:00

haha I thought it was time to displace the bunny post, because people were getting bored of the bunny.

Speaking of the bunny/RAMU, it's gone back to its original home(though I would like to think that it would have preferred our house much better)after giving all our potted plants some free shearing.

It's been a good 20 days into 2008 - I can't exactly say I'm enjoying the year but at least no one has come and hit with a big giant hammer. As of yet.

I wish I had more time everyday though. Or at least better time management. I think those time management courses never ever do any good. They always preach the importance of having a timetable, but that never works with me because:

(a) you have to find time to make the timetable
(b) you have to make the timetable
(c) you have to follow the timetable
(d) plans keep changing all the time anyway(hint:things never remain constant), the timetable then becomes obsolete.

Therefore, not owning a timetable = no time management(not even poor time managment, it's NO time management)

I want to watch..

2007-12-29T20:54:00.001-08:00

to the resident furry dwarf rabbit!
There's a new inhabitant in my house for the next 2 weeks ever since my mum's friend dropped it off because she's going overseas and there'll be no one else to take care of it.

My mum and aunt tried to be funny and wanted to invent a long indian tamil name for it(conveniently ignoring the fact that this rabbit is quite old and probably already has a name). They weren't very successful because they ended up calling it RAMU.

Indian yes, but not long at all?

Yesterday, aunty clara and uncle george celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. It was quite amusing cos' I'd discovered an old photo about 2 days ago of all of us at their 10th wedding anniversary dinner. Same small group of people, just 10 years older. 20 years is a long time but many of our parents' would probably be married now for around the same number of years as well. Growing old together is probably what love is all about, huh?

Off late, I've got nothing much to blog about and I've been pretty speechless. This blog has long lost its original purpose and I must say that I no longer know many people. This year, I think I've made and lost many friends. Yet, I'm really quite greatful for the new ones I've made and the old friendships I've managed to keep. No need to mention names - you all should know who you are.

I think I've been lucky in many parts of 2007 though and I hope 2008 brings better times(and results!).

Happy new year everyone :)

2007-12-12T18:34:00.000-08:00

I'm back - and it was great! There were times when we all too stressed and I wanted nothing more than to curl up and to be away from it all but those are vague memories that I can't really account for anymore since all the good times are all that are swimming in the front of my mind.

It was eye-opening in the completely typical way where you realize how you are so much luckier than the people but confusing half-way through when we didn't know what direction the trip was taking. We learnt a lot about their way of life and the discrimination they faced but 2 weeks is definitely too short to know all that there is to them. I suppose in a way knowing Tamil(even if i'm not as good as ash) made me feel a bit useful and put me in a better position to understand them esp. when we were interacting the kids. Definitely a good experience, I say.

I suppose english lessons could have been better but I can safely say I tried my best with what I had at that point but better planning on my part would have done wonders. In any case, my subteam was great :)

I got to star-gaze at night but never saw my shooting star. I finally realized how photography is such an exciting hobby and I sorely regret certain photo moments of the scenery that never came to be because of low battery. But it's alright - it's in my head :)

good times = listening to aurie's emo songs + laughing with the back-seaters(sheryl, ash, siti, grace) + gopalli(li zheng was damn funny introducing himself as gopalli) + gopalli's fake parentage(palli devi) + imitating lopsided-lump-of-fat-of-a-pervetic-bus-driver + kids doing the banana dance half-way through my teaching + irunga irunga + that one night a bunch of us had a late night meeting outside the main door in the darkness + eli + yindian tom hanks + singing songs on late night bus rides + the lovely(only when it's windy) bus rides + gross "grace" akka + imitating green towel dude + countless bridge rounds + bathroom conversations + sheryl's hey spanky + mr. beautiful eyes + the prayer song that the girls in the hostel sing that siti and grace like to sing + discussing "discovery channel" + disney classics

damn I need sheryl's quote book.

and i'm leaving on a jet plane but I know when I'll be back again

green green and greener!

padi field!

yindian tom hanks in the middle! (master painter)

I definitely made lots of closer friends through this and I'm kinda looking forward to school.

December is promising to be fun and even more fun now that I'm back in home sweet home. There's still movies to watch and people to go out with and that exciting christmas period. I'm almost almost on cloud nine now but still have yet to decide what to do with my life and december is ending soon!

look at all you freaks selling your souls for a bit of popularity.
wouldn't hurt you a little bit to know your place and time
and it's just a teeny weeny bit of popularity mind you.

whew

2007-11-21T07:16:00.000-08:00

You know how they say "don't bottle up your feelings; it's bad for you"? I actually disagree. I think that after a certain period of time of evaluating and thinking and moping and the problem is still just THERE, you just have to block out all your thoughts and push away all your problems and follow the escapist mantra - mainly because there isn't a "off" button for you to press that if did, would make things easier for yourself. Besides, even if your friends don't say anything, how long do they want to listen to you discuss your problems anyway? I have no idea how an escapist's mental health is though.

saturday
our dear chem teacher's wedding! she looked nothing short of an angel, although I thought the groom was quite shy. The church was near cedar, so I managed to take a 5 second peep before we ran all the way back to the mrt in the rain, in our heels. The lunch plates have to be mentioned, they were funky and they had a cup-holder and slots for the knife and fork all built-in!

monday
class stayover! fun in my words what with all the unexpected dunking in mel's pool. everytime I tried to get out of the pool, zilou or someone else pushed me right back in. played a bit of xbox, learnt mahjong,watched half-movies,slept really well on the couch and ate a lot of junk food.

tuesday
island creamery for lunch with the left-over class from the stayover and we took a long time to drag ourselves out of mel's house. I must say ice-cream for lunch is totally my thing. Talked to aud at night and we have realised we are both suffering from a lack of ambition. I also decided I'm going to spend this hols thinking just what I want to do with my life.

wednesday
went shopping for ISLE materials in thomson. It was within budget and I actually kind of bonded with siti and char? It was nice :)

other than occasional thoughts that kill me, I'm pretty happy.

blue and grey

2007-11-15T06:32:00.001-08:00

today I woke up from my nap and suddenly wished that I was at cedar.
Sometimes I wish instead of Bishan St 21, I could walk along the jalan wangi route or even the never-ending wan tho avenue route.
without having to repeat of course.
damn i miss cedar :S

chocolate attack!

2007-11-15T05:52:00.000-08:00

let's see; this week I have - watched om shanti om and saawariya, one after the other, on the same day, learnt how to balloon sculpt, ate 3 cheesecakes & 2 big fat dinners on the same day, went shameless shoe shopping and did a lot of ISLE.

And though there is no scientific proof(as of yet!)that consuming chocolate affects acne/pimples/whatever you call those terrible things, I'm convinced(and refuse to be persuaded otherwise) that eating chocolate contributes to my bad skin. Hence, the decision not to eat chocolate and let me tell you what a painful decision this is.

However, I think the entire universe is against my decision because my aunt just came over and brought me an entire box of big fat chocolate cupcakes that ooze of chocolate. so drats I guess i'm back to square one.

And for once, no school tomorrow YAAAAAYYY! after such a looong time.

I think I'm quite lucky to have such a nice aunt; like 7/8th of the bags I own and all of the skirts I own are bought by her. she's chinese btw but she owns the rest of my relatives at being nice, most of them have money symbols imprinted on their pupils :S

and class stayover at melissa pretty lee's house is coming up! I honestly can't WAITTTT; all the awards and the food and the movies and the card games and the running around and the sleeping at any corner of her house because her house is soooo big(her room toilet is bigger than my room) and the food food food!

and I really liked om shanti om btw, besides the fact that they came saying my name(with the right spelling! not santhi or shanthi or worse santi)nearly every sentence plus srk was rather hot! :D

talk talk

2007-11-10T04:00:00.000-08:00

a seed was planted in my heart, it grew to be a tree with deep roots
time decreed, the tree was uprooted not softly but maliciously
it left deep deep deep scars in the heart

and the pain is unbearable
the pain will go away yes, no doubt
but only on one occasion

when another seed is planted in my heart and it grows to be a tree with deep roots, filling up the scars...
and if time decrees that those roots are indeed true

my friend, the poet wrote this :)
even though it's not up to his usual rhyming standards.

but you know and I know, that you'll be fine, dear friend, if only you find it in yourself to forgive and forget, just like I partially have.

:)

boo

2007-11-10T02:53:00.000-08:00

This week's been great fun-wise and quite productive ISLE-wise.
Monday was movie marathon at dins' house and very nice for me cos' it was actually a birthday surprise for me and I got tricked into buying my own cake (but of course, I didn't pay for it :D) and thank you ash, nurul and dina! Dina played for me "happy birthday" on her trombone and I became very happy and decided to forgive her for screaming into my ears senselessly earlier that day.

The rest of the week was a blur but deepavali was great since the turnout was good and nearly the whole of 3r came over :) They never got to play their mahjong and we never got to watch suz's mj videos but I thought the food was pretty nice and here they are, crammed behind my table.

I am still recovering from being sun-burnt from that soccer day.

I've been in a strange mood all day, so I'll end it here. Sorry for the lack of entertainment, suz and co. I know you're waiting to quote something silly but today's not silly day :/

fun fun fun

2007-11-04T04:39:00.000-08:00

Today was such an exciting day. Finally finished my WG article and then we had a mini class outing at West Coast Park; it was just 7 of us plus jes's chess friend but I had such fun playing boys vs. girls soccer and some strange version of captains' ball.
I think feeling so tired after doing something fun that requires exercise and then sleeping and then eating a full meal is like a supreme feeling.
I feel so fulfilled today :D
We should do something like this more often plus suz said I did this awesome kick thing to deflect the ball fg tried to kick in when I was goalie :D
that made my day!
and jojo licked my mickey mouse pants today :s

walk backwards in every way

2007-11-02T08:03:00.000-07:00

This has most of his greatest moves I think - the moonwalk story.
Makes up so much for the strange video of 5 gyrating people that I saw today that was the video for "Billie Jean" in Mel's karaoke collection.
and her house is so huge and gigantic and marvellous and cosy that I was left speechless(okay, maybe not so speechless.)
Then I went back to school to sort out childrens' books for ISLE and I was left thinking how I really want a nice family and a nice house like that when I grow up.
Would be a fulfilling feeling, wouldn't it?

and happy birthday anushiya! may that halo above your head shine and still be there when you turn 18 next year!
(and I should think a public birthday greeting like this would be an excellent reason for you to grace my tagboard..for the 4th time)

hakuna matata

2007-10-28T08:26:00.000-07:00

oh dear you know my life doesn't revolve around suz's house. I just realise I sound like I live there!
on a side note, who here loves the lilo & stitch and lion king soundtrack? I'm in a disney classics mood today!

harbourfront hil (this is for you! :D)

2007-10-28T07:24:00.000-07:00

Mrs B gave me a whole bunch of childrens' books the other day to "look through and get ideas" and I ended up looking through this join-the-dot book. You know, when I was young, I loved join-the-dot books! I just absolutely loved them; the whole fun about it was that as you linked up the dots patiently, you'd be excitedly waiting to discover what the real eventual picture is like. At the end of it, it's almost like you drew the picture all by yourself.

So yesterday night, I spent about an hour doing almost all the join-the-dot pictures in the book and I had such fun and I discovered I still do love join-the-dot books, 12 years on.

Results were average - not going to comment!. Today suz and hil were bullying me when we went over to suzy's house by copying every stupid comment I made and claiming to want to put it on their imaginary non-existent blog (which by the way, is going to be set up just to ridicule me). example:

Me: Can I jump out of the window?
Edu: No, we need you for OP.

That time I told them the story about how I had yellow pants but then it had become green because of a domestic disaster(read: hyperactive blue shirt in washing machine)and they all turned red. I think they love me too much :D

But retribution struck on the way home when hil got bullied by the bus driver for asking which bus-stop to drop at to go to the harbourfront mrt. He pronounced her as "Harbourfront girl". way to go harbourfront hil!

Rani bought me the Gilmore Girls Season 5 DVD and I've been watching hours of it every night! Thanks my friend for the gift! :D

can't say i am sixteen going on seventeen anymore

2007-10-21T01:53:00.000-07:00

I had a great birthday yesterday even if I had no superstar party so
thanks to everyone who remembered and wished :)
Towned with jy and ching after school ended early to get aud's v nice fashion wallet - i wanted to buy one for myself too!
Spent the night of the eve out with aud, my fellow 20-oct-rian, till 10 plus doing what I do best - eating and walking around.
We never got to use my mum's Haagen Daaz vouchers cos' everywhere we went thinking that there was an outlet there, it turned out to be closed down because of upgrading of the malls.
Talk about urban renewal.
Oh and we bumped into ish who said the whole bunch of them went to learn bollywood dancing by the river :s
Then I turned 17( or rather 18 if you follow the theory that you celebrate your xth birthday at the end of your xth year of life)with Jess Bhamra from Bend it with Beckham because my parents decided to go for a late-night movie, leaving me all alone :s
I met anushiyum and yf(i hadn't seen her in a long long long long long time)for a fish & co lunch and I had a nice dinner with my parents (naan as usual).
Thanks very mucho to lorraine, suz, hil, fg and ching for the v nice and exactly-what-i-wanted pullover and jy for the very ex scented stuff and my parents for the watch that has not been bought yet and anushiyum for the exact book that I wanted and aud for the very ex and beayootiful printed motif planner and rani and amu and letchie and ish for my mystery-as-of-yet presents.
like lorraine says "364 days to the next one; yay!"
Results are coming out tomorrow but I think I'm not really troubled now cos' I'll just get what I deserve and I'm hoping real hard I'll get thee needed B for chem
:S
take care peeps! :)
P.S. One day, just one day, I'll make this blogpage a little more interesting and colourful. thanks for bearing :)

suzy wuzy woozy!

2007-10-12T18:53:00.000-07:00

For all the friendships that are dying/have died, I'm really quite glad for the ones that are still strong or the ones where you know you can pick up from where you left off and you really do. So thanks to close friends who have managed to overlook my occasional moments of stupidity - you should know who you are!

Yesterday was completely unproductive but productive in a fun way. I watched Spiderman and 1/2 of You've Got Mail in the morning and cried and cried when Uncle Ben died and when Peter Parker said he couldn't be with Mary-Jane. I've realised that I cry for almost every movie with the exception of tamil movies cos' the middle part usually bores me.

Afterwards, I went suzy wuzy's house for the umpteenth time but this time with lorraine, jes and fg(this house visit came about spontaneously). An extremely late lorraine delayed our schedules but as usual, suzy's dog jojo licked and sniffed most part of my jeans & jes is scared of dogs, hamsters and animals in general. I went off when they were DOTA-ing to meet anushiyum (I will call you that!) and buy yf's present.

Personally, I think we've gotten much better at present-buying since last time when we'd walk around the shopping centre for 3 hours and end up buying what we knew we'd always buy - a necklace. This time no more jewellery ever.

After meeting anushiyum, I went back to suzy wuzy's house around 6 plus; now I think I'm really familiar with that area! We played pool in her living room and ate dinner in her house. Sadly, I think the theme for that day's dinner was beef cos' nearly everything had beef/beef essence in it so I had minimal choices.

We had grand plans to watch simpsons - but lorraine's CD turned out to not have the movie file in the end. So we watched Eurotrip (which is R21 by the way)
and oh so funny. The hitler scene we saw is ultimate movie humour, man. It was so funny; we all had stomachaches momentarily during that scene.

And we drank a few glasses each of some very delicious and thirst-quenching carbonated-softdrinkish-alcoholicky can drink so I imagined being a bit woozy after I went home. I think I was dreaming anyway cos' that one time I ate a whole lot of my mum's friend's poppy seed cakes(poppy seeds are banned here; she bought them from australia and baked the cakes here) and I felt strangely happy - but also because those cakes were really yummy.

I went home at ten plus eleven anyway. It was a fun day! and I think I learnt a lot of non-academic life stuff this year compared to last year when I was living a pretty much sheltered life. I've learnt the difference between a 3-pointer and a 3-point turn and I never even knew these terms existed before.

Exam results coming out next next week and I'm enjoying the remaining time left till the uproar from the parentship.

how to save a life

2007-10-06T20:02:00.000-07:00

this is anushiyum's current favourite song and I think it's become my current favourite song for now too. Never fails to make me sad.

but I also like the bhool bhuliayaa song too. It's catchy and I first heard it on aneesha's CD like last last week or something then simmie sent me yesterday.

These few days have been okay but tiring. Thursday was suzy's(speaking of which the birthday girl's turning 17 today) house- didn't get to jump on her antique bed cos it was antique, cuddled her hamsters, got frightened by her dogs and her zoo, learned how to play pool (yes, she has a friggin' pool table in her living room) and of course we did pw. No need to comment on pw; everyone knows how annoying it is.
I am so going to her house to study whenever I can next year; she owns the softest chairs in the WORLD. I have never sat in a chair as soft as that in my life!

Friday was open house. fun but tiring - sheryl's blog says it all.(speaking of which I haven't linked her yet :s)We made money though and it was fun counting it all at the end. There was this funny guy singing paris hilton and britney spears songs in front of our booth and ash and I were bitching about him. But the highlight of the day was this girl who sang "Don't Look Back in Anger" by oasis and she sang it really well. It was like "Wow"!

Saturday was nice meeting everyone :) I wish I wasn't so emo and unresponsive the entire day though and audrey cut her beayoootiful hair into a short bob or I don't know if it's called a bob. Anw I hope i'll see you all sometime soon again!

This month is going to be all about PW. October sucks.

ISLE woot!

2007-10-03T06:44:00.000-07:00

hello all. Today was a generally good day since a couple of my commitments for open house have disappeared (by themselves thankfully) and now all's left is ISLE and writers' to concentrate on. That means I'm totally booked from 10 am to 5 pm plus BUT there's always the great company to look forward to.

So we learnt how to wash cars the proper way (minus paris hilton and her risque car wash skills) and we scrubbed a particularly dirty bike clean until it was shiny(too shiny in fact; the teacher seemed disturbed that a non-muddy bike would ruin his rugged image).

The marvellous fund-raising sub comm has done such a great job with all their plans that I'm almost worried that my sub-team has a lot to live up to (and i'm leader :().
And I'm looking forward to the trip really; nothing like a dose of the simple life to show you the more important things in life.

And Mr. Seah is the greatest greatest teacher in RJ because he very generously sponsored our pizza dinner although he was quite annoying when he tried to confuse us on the phone when we grumbled we were hungry. hah he said Ash and I got A ++ for commitment :)

and sheryl, thank you for listening to stories of harassment and for telling me funny stuff about certain children-chewing personalities but this does not give you the right to bully me any further by imitating my actions like a parrot :D

I always have this strange feeling of wanting to study right after my exams end. The end to exams always lead to this intense desire to study something. But I never give in because I'm too busy being idle. PW screams for attention and I go RAARRR - for it is back with a vengeance. I just realised that next year is a no-life year because of the 'A's and I know I'll have to work harder than the others to substitute my lack of genius with hard work and that's going to be an evil routine.

I don't mind that actually; I always liked having a fixed routine. Sacrificing in this sense can be quite satisfying.

Tmr's PW meeting at zus/suz's house! But I know I'm just going there to play cards, play her Xbox 360 and jump on her antique bed.
and hil, I hope you're not reading :D

and so the exams are overrr!

2007-09-28T07:29:00.000-07:00

maybe just maybe, I've overestimated your inconsiderate behaviour all this while.
And that's the greatest news because everything seems right now.
Promos are over and I had a great time lunching and shopping with le class today and I have a nice time ahead to do all the things that I chucked to the recesses of my mind, in the name of wanting to do well for promos.
All those motivating fun moments-to-be are now ready to be enjoyed.
So people ask me out now!
Pardon the cheesy pick-up line but friends, the year is young :D
okay so only 3 months left.

and this is really really really extremely important:
does anyone know if there's a miss sleepyhead under the little mr. men and ms.(woman?)T-shirt collection. I need to buy one for a certain sleepyhead who sleeps during lectures and who turns 17 soooon. tell me okay? thanks :)

oib

2007-09-24T21:30:00.000-07:00

I should keep my mouth shut from now onwards and slap myself if I ever say anything stupid or insensitive again.
MEL! I HAVE STORIES
also, exams are evil things.
evil exams - alliteration
and then there's BIO

diplomatic?!

2007-09-21T18:57:00.000-07:00

wah lao so heartbreaking
frown now I can't even study

too young to go

2007-09-20T20:20:00.000-07:00

I talked to gail for a long long long time yesterday and she'd gone to mount vernon; she was her form teacher after all.
Gail told me a lot of things the people there told her and it left me feeling really miserable.
Only 32 years old and you've gone off to a better place way too early.
Thanks for teaching me for two years..
Rest in peace Mrs Ng and I hope your family can find inner peace soon.

beautiful

2007-09-18T20:29:00.000-07:00

This is really really nice; I was searching for the m1 indian curry house advertisement when I chanced upon this. dhevy, isn't this the production you took part in?
Wow the music is so beautiful that I've watched it so many times. It makes me want to take out my dusty violin and tune it.

And this what dear hil of her stickman fame drew for me during pw yesterday.(wr is over! woot!)It's the result of an inside joke during camp when I thought that throwing stones into the sea was emo.
studying beckons!

i don't want to be part of mugfest

2007-09-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

School's damn annoying when everyone's studying really hard and you really want to but you can't cos you have headaches and you feel completely depressed and have zero self-esteem. Studying studying studying yes but just not enough.
But listening to suz and her brother and suz talking about brother made me quite motivated for a bit because her brother's intelligent and prepared and diligent and does well without giving the cold and competitive aura. we should have more people like this around. I wish I had a brother in J2 too ; maybe then he could teach me summation.
Today was normal but now I'm the queen of last minute work; bow down to me! last minute pw last minute cheque for mr seah (dinaa, I gave him money! Okay I don't even know if this joke is cold by now, I haven't even talked to you in ages) and I experienced a bit of stupidity from two of my classmates that really made me wonder if I was right along about RHD only being about bangles. And of course, T-shirt saris.
During lunch,
Classmate A: Shanti!! you're not fasting?!
Me: Um no. I'm not Muslim, I don't fast.
A: huh? you're not? But I thought you were!
(A turns to B)
A: hey shanti's not fasting; i was wrong!
B: Huh but all I thought all Hindus are Muslims?

It must be all the mugging; got them mixing up their facts about religions. Or maybe they never knew it.

I tried to study after school but I fell asleep on my chem notes in the canteen and slept for 1 and 1/2 hrs straight. That's how tired and unhappy I am. I can even sleep on canteen tables, instead of going straight home.

it's a small, small world

2007-09-05T19:52:00.000-07:00

OMG suddenly I'm SOOOOO excited how the world is so friggin' small that I want to call audrey up and scream but then there are promos to study for and talking on the phone is now a serious waste of time but oh what the heck.
I think this was the literary stream technique that rani was talking about a few days back, but this is everything I'm thinking and I can't be bothered with coherence now.

Oh and the last few days have been pretty fun but I don't know where to start to describe it and I love my ISLE group loads now; I can just imagine spending 2 weeks with them in a strange place and still have fun :)
camp = funny new friends + darlee's angels + midnight Ben & Jerry's + gattaca + bbq dinner + late-night running around the track + traipsing arond little india + yummy mixed drinks

Aiyah i'll be more coherent when the need to be serious arises. but for now i'm going to marvel at how small the world is and call audrey and scream!

one act of random kindness :)

2007-08-31T18:05:00.000-07:00

So it's the end of a term and I had a great day yesterday :)
School celebrations were quite fun because the video with Mr Vadi's classic I-am-so-angry-with-you-so-I-am-going-to-accidentally-sit-on-you-NOW comment and they had really nice beatboxing(had usher song tunes and all!)

Yup, so to put it roughly, met san and ash to go back to cedar and then met a whole lot of people there including a funny danielle and then went for lunch at ps with ash, san, steph, serena(who still insults me!) and her friend, where I saw rama and sakthish and then later reema, who I insisted to meet when she came. Then we talked for a bit,then I met gail(who took 1.5 hours eating one subway sandwich) and we went on our usual aimless self-guided tours outside ps and then she went to read books herself at 6 and I watched a movie & went home at 9.

You should watch evan almighty; it's really quite nice! I laughed a lot and plus it had gilmore girls' lauren graham as a bonus. Much much better than bruce almighty eons ago which had rubber face Jim Carrey's slapstick comedy which I don't really like.

And it doesn't take much to make me happy, I think. I've realised that recently and I have definitely gotten my needed closure nownownow so I'm very happy :)

taggers!
melissa: why in the world do you love spamming so much? :D arr but technology definitely screws up on you more than me. You're always smacking your phone to make it work and YOU LOST 4 PHONES HELLO. if not for you realising that day quickly, it'd have been a grand total of 5 now! but you'll be pretty and I'll be humour.

simran: Really? I shall go listen to em'. I normally listen to oasis when I'm down. But I really hate my printer. haha you're always funny! but sometimes when you suddenly seem sad when I happen to be there, I get scared momentarily wondering if I'd said something to annoy you. WE SHOULD MEET UP SOON!!!!!!!!!

dhevy: haha you'd better not imagine you're talking to me when you're reading my entries. I sound so angsty and self-obsessed in some. yes yes one more glorious month and we'll be done! I can't wait! till then my friend :D

just a silly human error.

2007-08-27T07:19:00.001-07:00

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
oh great oh great oh great.
I just violated my perfectly crafted plan after following it for nearly 2 months and I just felt saying something here.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
and also now my printer prints in pink instead of black
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I hate technology when it screws up on me.
But tomorrow, I want to take a picture with the giant spongebob and sleep.

so blind so blind

He made me sacrificial metal
fawned me dizzy, all cheap oaths
sucked me poor, tarnished dull
dwindling fancy, never giving
So blind, to love you

So blind to love a Gaston
when I deserved a prince.

what to say? I should be doing so many other things. Everyday I write to-do lists and yet nothing gets really striked off. Half-done work lying everywhere; before I can even finish, my attention wanders off to something else. Self-discipline was never really my thing. But ah, Mel Lee, humour is still my middle name :D

I think every monday should have a chem teacher away on class adventure camp, an all-children-exercising-simultaneously dance(code for shorter PE)and
a food-sharing break. Cos' then maybe the term "monday blues" would cease to exist.

Tis' the season of bad class photos lalalalalalalalala! (even the number of las are correct - I counted!)
So the aftermath of receiving class photos was followed closely by the insane rush to get everyone to sign. Once again, I have yet to get a memory card reader so I can't upload pictures of my class trying to slander me in the autograph section.
Haha, then I earned the rep of writing essays instead of comments. But it was nice to see everyone's albums peppered with inside jokes. And I'm so proud of my original (witty!) comment to suz/zus that I'll secretly take a picture of that on monday!I love 3R; everyone there makes me so so happy!

This week's been insanely insane, and I slept a grand total of 2 hrs yesterday night thanks to EOM and evil PW. But what with us almost reaching the end of the PW cycle, I feel hatred towards it dissipating - replaced by an odd feeling of satisfaction I think.
Besides, my group members now owe me 5 cups of ice lemon tea for my almost all-nighter. Nothing like something free to cheer you up!

But today everything seemed to go right. I caught the late bus and for the time since I've come to RJ, I've managed to catch that bus and still be on time(translate that into faster running!).Then they miraculously found extra CIP shirts ever since bleeding befriender's got cancelled. And a lot of other nice things : including me actually getting stuff into my head today.

Haha after maths today, fg and mel got into this huge waterfight and they kept spraying water everywhere from their water-bottles that it was hilarious(actually this kinda made me real happy because mel was threathening to dump all the water in her water bottle on my head when the fight started). They completely wet the entire above amphi area - talk about inconsiderate haha!. That was until suz discovered the whole thing was taking place right in front of the surveillance camera. so I made fg say sorry to the camera. HAHA
he actually looked into the camera and said this, " sorry - the floor was dirty!"

We've finally gotten our promos timetable and it's so hardcore(5 papers, 5 days)all one after another. It's quite petrifying and I've got to get down to studying.

Oh, and I got contacts today :)

hello friend.

while I'm at this, I might as well post this. They showed it during chem lecture that day and I thought it was so cute so suz/zus and the whole bunch of us stayed a bit longer to watch it over and over. Isn't it just absolutely cute?
