what
Rotting away here don’t have anything to do right now. Waiting for an email.
Just now I bit my finger and it bled. My fingers havent bled for a while now since I started trying to let my nails grow out.
Was hungry. Ate hello panda. Am not sure if I am still hungry.
Internet got problem. Not working well. Messenger still cannot download. Pissed off with it. got up to 69% complete then it froze. Lost count of number of times I tried to download it since 2 days ago.
Almost don’t feel like going to church tomorrow. Need to clear my head a bit.
Burst at mom just know in the evening. Even said ‘what’s your problem’. After a while she yelled back at me.
Am very depressed. Had a horrible choir practice today. I am just so stupid. Cant do anything right and don’t know anything about music.
Also, suddenly I feel like time is catching up on me. Feel like there is no time left, even though I am not yet in school. Feel scared and tired and pissed off. Don’t want to go to school. Don’t want to see those people. I wonder, is it God’s will to put me and those people I hate in the same course. Is it a test for me… is it a sign from God saying He wants us to be friends… cant imagine facing them everyday, and struggling to be in control of my feelings, at the same time being real, and at the same time being professional about things.
Am afraid of the orientation camp. Do not even want to go at all. Am not a sociable person. How am I going to survive.
Hate everything. hate everything.

beautiful trio's day out
well today had to go down to np to sign up for the camp and check out the campus crusade. met gabriel near 11am and watched a movie, chinese show called love is on the rocks or sth lidat? starring louis khoo and gigi leung. was kinda draggy lah the show, and a lot of act cute whining and crying. i kinda wish annie had chosen victor instead of whatshisname (louis' char). ah. but usually gotta have happy ending one what. well the show was alright. was just very hot in the cinema. to me. gabriel said he was shivering. huh?? well i was sick this morning and when im sick i just perspire like nobody's business, so even the coldest place feels hot.
after the movie we met up with ben at the hawker centre and i had chicken rice and im wondering now is it the chicken rice that's causing my bad stomach ache... well then we headed to np... poor ben, he went there 3 times in all today, i think. haha. his own matric, tony's, then later met us and went back again. up the bloody hill we went, everyone was sweating like crazy. into the air con and thru the whole matric area. we were like the only extras who werent there to actually matric. we made it to the camp sign-up area where andy ham ex-fairsian recognized ben is it? and the malay dude recognized me somehow... then there was the filling up of the forms and stuff, actually i kinda find the pple rather attitude, but haiz, i guess outsiders would have felt school students are quite attitude...
then we moved on thru the cca area on the second floor and out to the campus crusade booth where a nice person came and attended to us, and i got a foolscap pad which is quite nice (ben and gabe already got theirs earlier), then met another ex-fairsian whom i dont really know but i didnt like her when she was in school, she's in mass comm too haiz. well thats alright. the part that stinks is that sarah tan and valerie and some other pple are in mass comm too. just thinking abt it makes me really wanna cry. i so wanna get FAR FAAAR away from all these people. i've so had enough of them!!!! why wont they leave me in peace. so why the hell did i chooe mass comm. WHY. there arent any fairsianz i know going to biomed. WHY didnt i choose that. Gosh!! Sigh.
ok nvm. then we went to the laptop area where i practically ran down the stairs coz i was gonna see JUSTIN! and i did see him, but only for the SHORTEST time ever. after that the toshiba people came round to talk to us and later when i went to the ibm side, justin wasnt there. one other girl recognized me somehow and said hey you were here that day right? and i said yeah, and i asked is justin around? and she was like, justin? oh justin ah, i think he's at the back. then i was like oh never mind then. then she said why? want to (donno what donno what) ah? (i couldnt hear her then), then i just said oh, no lah. then just walked away. i Really wanted to go and say hi. like, hi do you remember me?! im the kid whose parents spent so long deciding and u spent so long explaining and blah blah blah? haha. he'd prob think im mad. i hope that girl told him that someone asked for him. sigh. so long justin. *heart breaks* haha. nah.
well then after that we made our way back to clementi, it was hot as hell, i went to get my specs, they look funny and i have some problems seeing, everything seems too sharp and too squashed together. need to practice. then popped into tsvision. then went to mac. sat there, gabriel got a drink, i got 2 great cramp-like pains. not m cramp, refer to above abt the prime suspect, chicken rice. was really terrible. almost cried coz the pain was damn bad. then sat there and talked about some crap tho i spaced out at the last part... then went and walked around in the bookshop, then took train. reached boon lay, i saw my bus loading up so ran for it. ben and gabriel went to jp, they're prob already doing their individual stuff by now. and now im enjoying the air con. ive really perspired like MAD today. the weather these days is really bad. everyday 34 degrees C. then in the evening it clouds up but doesnt rain.
well, tonight got meteor garden, and the OC!! and AI! but i cant watch OC AI coz of meteor garden haiz. actually i dont like shancai and daoming si being separated. the fun part is watching them together. not ah si with that sarah michelle gellar or whatshername character. i cant stand the way she speaks chinese. damn unnatural. and i still like shancai and ah si together. maybe i'll just watch the OC. nah, later my parents see me watching some steamy scene as there are so many in that show. haiz. stick to meteor garden.
well my msn is still screwed. going to reinstall or sth. my internet also got some probs. dunno why. so long dont have these probs already. ok. nice day to you.

do all good days end on such a bad note...
sigh. today.
woke up late. was hot due to no air con. went to jp and stayed in mac for a few hours, from abt 1130 to 4plus. read book. finished the book. what a GREAT book. too cheem for me in every way, but its a great book. finally i can start on the other book! wrote some jap for the heck of it, i enjoy trying to figure out the jap letters. really slow at that but heck lah.
sigh. the top i wanted costs $36. forget it. some things are just not worth spending on. especially now when i have no money to spend anymore.
came back home. dad said air con man delayed. air con man called to say he can only come at 6.30pm. said he cant finish another job somewhere else. dad and i went ahead with our badminton game. played for about an hour and we were both really disgustingly sweaty after that. air con man called and said he was outside our house. we came up. 2 of them where sitting outside our house.
then there was this conversation about badminton. and one of them, the one i know since he came 2 days ago, said in chinese "why dont ask me to play, i come earlier and play", to which my dad said "oh, you're young, surely you play quite well?" and then he said "i mean i play with your daughter, not with you haha, dont get me wrong leh."
like. -_-". i just laughed and we went in. thinking about it now, that was rude of him. to my dad.
so like the whole time this guy kept looking at me. even when he went to the kitchen to wash his hands, he stood at the sink and turned his head around and looked at me thru the window, and i know coz i looked at him. and then there was the whole thing about going into my room all the time. OK DONT GET ANY IDEAS. coz all 3 rooms' aircons are connnected, so fixing one back means that the others may be affected so must test to make sure they're all working. well first he climbed the ladder and tested my air con. then he came out, closing the door behind him. i guess that was thoughtful of him coz we were really hot coming up from our game so he left the air con on to test and for us to cool down too. then later he went in again, and this time he prob went to close my window which was open, because the air con was going out. no wonder, i was thinking why he had to go further inside than the doorway where my air con is. but he probably also took the chance to like, look at my room. a teenager's room always has lots of stuff to look at. luckily i didnt like have underwear everywhere, i mean some guys do that right? dump underwear everywhere.
then after that finally all done and then he was talking to my dad abt bill, settled liao then he said well any problem then call him again. so ciao they were gone.
anyway, the price of my laptop has dropped, meaning they will be refunding almost $100!! someone from np called me today when i was at mac (to my disappointment it wasnt justin... sob sob haha. joking.) to inform me abt that. so i said oh ok. thats great news. i think.
anyway, my dad's gotten his friend to come and fix up the wireless in my house, so if nothing conks up, i'll be able to surf from my room when i get my laptop. aiyah. i dont even know what is wireless or wtv. i mean, isnt my laptop already wireless??? nvm. i think we're not talking abt the same 'wireless' here.
well tonight looks like my msn isnt working. somehow. haiz. dont tell me when fixing the wireless, they set up some firewall and conked up my messenger? not possible. haiz. well then. ciao.

tuesday's entry
Well something is wrong with my internet again(!!!) so I shall type here and paste it into my blog once the thing works again. Haiz.
Well today had matriculation at np. Went with parents coz of the laptop thing. So the whole matriculation, minus the walking thru the so called cca booths (I say so because they hardly even bothered to try and attract people. Only 2 booths out of the many even gave out slips of paper abt their booths. Haiz. Failure.) yes, minus that, was only about 10 mins give or take. Damn fast one. Just keep moving along the line. I met sandee and kheng wei at the entrance there. So surprised, coz I thought she’d already be gone liao. They went ahead of me and left way before I did, coz after that I didn’t see them anymore. My parents and I spent quite long at the laptop area, my dad was asking whole lot of questions and everything… quite a large range of laptops, was difficult to choose. But prices wise, I didn’t find them very much less than outside, about the same price lor… well at least they have 3 yrs warranty, unlike outside only 1 yr. Oh then I get to the fun part! There was this IBM guy, his name is justin foo suan kiat (hahaha ok call me crazy), not like super yandao or what but look long liao still quite ok lah. Once he came over to explain to us, he like stayed with us the whole time, and I really mean the whole time man. Wah very sweet. Explain a lot of stuff and showed us some forbidden stuff (I mean, company secrets lah, cannot show one), then after that while we were deciding on which one to get, he sat there and waited for us, and when we decided, he immed go and get order form. Then he still stayed while we waited for our turn etc, and somemore my mom kept asking him things, my dad also, and he would run off to check for us, or get someone to answer our qns, even if it wasn’t abt IBM stuff. And then he informed me about the lucky draw, and he said “I’ll go with you don’t worry” (although I wasn’t worried at all haha), he said “well hope you win something more” at which I laughed and so did he. I really think he’s so nice. Lol. So later we went to spin the wheel and (very sadly) I only won a very small prize, it looks quite cool actually, it’s a radio and there’s this screen on which a message is continuously scrolled across (duh, something about buy an IBM thinkpad etc etc haha, propaganda lah). But after that I didn’t get to say bye to him as he then had to go and attend to someone else liao. He was around but I didn’t wanna interrupt lah. Then I saw robin who was also spinning the wheel and said hi to her. Altogether I saw a few people lah, um gareth (I seem to see him everywhere, and today almost crashed into him lor), robin, sandee kheng wei and sylvia. I wonder what course sylvia is in. don’t tell me mass comm?? Cant recall. I don’t think so tho.
Then outside the convention centre there was this really cool looking silver car that looks like a slightly mutated Beetle but its not a Beetle. I took a picture of it haha. Im always taking pictures of people’s cars. Then we took a few pictures outside. Like tourist haiz.
Then…made out way to the bus stop, on the overhead bridge I saw someone who walked past me who looked like sam, yes cat sam, from the back. So I called sam ng! Then he turned around, and I said, so tau! Then he said never see mah. Pa jiao. Haha. So I abandoned my parents and talked to sam all the way, till my bus came which he wasn’t taking. The doink didn’t fill up his edusave and giro form, so he’ll be heading back to np on Friday. Actually I shd have told him that they are optional… oh well. Guess im the only one who isnt using edusave and giro…He was wearing like 2 shirts. I know its cool to do that but come on, it was 34degrees C out there today man. I was completely melting. Haha. Maybe cats don’t feel very hot.
Then we ate at clementi market where we sat right in front of cassandra’s mom’s stall! She doesn’t recognize me, prob coz she’s hardly ever seen me, but well I thought she’d know. Well she didn’t, that’s ok then. I didn’t call her either, since cass wasn’t there. Dunno how long never see cass already. I bet she got stead already. Don’t even know which jc she went to… haiz. So many pple all lost contact liao.
Then my dad bought a pair of shoes. Haha. OOP right. Then… I went home alone coz my parents stopped going with me upon reaching jp coz they bought tix to watch the Passion. (which, strangely, my mom only said, ok lah, my dad said very gory when I asked if it was, and neither of them seemed extremely affected by the show unlike the way I thought they’d be…) so I came home and slacked in the air con till ard 6plus then my mom called and said I can go down liao. Fast forward, we ate at Fish & Co. (not that I think very highly of their food lor. Seriously its nothing fantastic, esp so coz I don’t really eat their oysters mussles and shellfish…) then I took pictures of the food haha. Me, I like to take pictures. Then they ate ice cream while I decided to give it a miss (and wasn’t even tempted). Then we decided to walk home. and boy oh boy my dad wanted to take some route we never walked before, and lo, we went ONE BIG round and ended up walking a lot more than we actually had to. Haiz. In the end I led the way back to the right path. By the time we got home we were all hot sweaty and tired, coz it was a real long walk. Oh well. Now already bathed and nice and clean. The only pity is tonight I’ll probably have to sleep fitfully and uncomfortably like last night again, since the air con isnt working till tmr… I had the uber powerful industrial fan plugged into my room last night and it didn’t even help. I couldn’t sleep for a long time. Haiz. Awaiting the return of my air con tmr haha.
Well, my internet is still down so I cant post this. So this entry is dated 130404, time 2217hr, or rather, yoru ni ju ni ji ju nanapun, something lidat?? Haha!! Ok know what, forget the jap till I practice. Speaking of jap, last night (Monday) I had jap, it went alright lah, angie even said im good, which is NOT true, and she said the young people are good which is also NOT true… haha. And that obnoxious show off ginny woman came, and made a grand entrance by being late and then spouting jap like she is so good at it. the whole class was rolling their eyes, I remember gabriel saying that. So true.
Well, oyasumi nasai to you then. Im off… time, 2221hr. ciao.
p.s oh yeah this is for terence, hey when exactly is ur bdae?? U told me one but the class directory says another haha. Ive only known addresses and phone numbers to change, not bdaes! Lol.

yesterday, easter sunday
sigh. lemme run thru yesterday. supposed to be a happy day, Jesus rose from the dead and is no longer lying there in the tomb. easter sunday. went to church at 11am and sat with the choir peeps. they were actually on stage practicing when i came in. then we had everything and then they went up to sing. it was good but way too soft, i doubt anyone in the audience could hear a thing... how i wished i could go up there and sing too, i like this song... but well nvm. the guy swore ties today haha. i mean yesterday.
then blah blah we had sermon and a bit of singing and then ended and we all got chocolate eggs in a box. then dr ben came over and we talked a littel bit, then yong han came over to talk to dr ben... actually i think yong han is a nice guy. i mean, he isnt the shuai-est at all (that's reserved for yi le!! haha) but he's got a good character and he can possibly not be so lame. yeah anyway then since i was in a rush i excused myself first. dr ben said bye but yong han didnt, so i whacked him with my bag and said "so tau!!" then he said bye. doink. then after that was a rather uneventful journey to pasir ris.
i cant remember ever being so money conscious. the whole way to pasir ris, i was thinking of buying sweets, there was this sweet i really felt like eating, from tanglin halt... but i didnt go and buy coz i didnt wanna waste money. it was just 50cents but i didnt want to buy. but when i reached pasir ris, i bought sweets from guardian. haiz. then blah blah, i reached my dad's place. seeing grandma today. i mean yesterday.
ah ma greeted me with a small wave when i came in, and spoke to me a little bit, which is a good sign. i ate lunch there, jamie cooked. then went to accompany ah ma while she lay on her bed to doze after lunch, and i watched tv, and there was this doggy show (some competition... no no not a dog competition.. aiyah thats unimportant) then i was squealing at all the doggies to my grandma... thats what i usually do when im over there. i sit by her bed and hold her hand and the tv will be on and i'll talk abt the show, if she's sleepy she'll sleep a bit and i'll shut up... then blah blah time for bath, so off she went with jamie. by that time my dad was back from his church and he wanted to show me his church vcd, so i just watched though i wasnt that interested simply coz the sound was too loud coz he turned on some turbo thingy... then later sat with ah ma and watched more tv... i liked that show, what was it called... um.. shuang1 tian1 zhi4 (i dunno what is the hanyupinyin for the last word), you know, that gambling show with the du3 wang2 du3 hou4 (li nan xing and zoe tay), of course it was a repeat telecast. anyway then after that it was time for ah ma's walking exercise... then things got ugly.
ah ma was walking (with jamie's help), and my brother aron was playing with the wheelchair, sitting in it and wheeling it everywhere, and playing with a piece of bandage which is from my grandma's stuff, and my grandma started to cry. normally of coz she wouldnt cry but i mean, she cries easily nowadays, because she's no longer the same as she was last time......... well then i rushed over and said ah ma dont cry dont cry, i'll get my brother out of the chair... then i went over to him and i was REALLY angry. NOBODY makes my grandma cry and gets away with it. plus, i hate kids! the way they are so inconsiderate and bu4 dong3 shi4, im always worried one day my brothers' reckless behaviours will injure my grandma. so now my brother had tied the bandage in some way across the wheelchair and whatever, and i yanked it and said get out, and i cant recall what i said but i shouted, and glared at him, and he continued to joke around, and started wheeling away while i was holding onto the bandage. then i got more angry and grabbed the handle and tipped the whole chair and he almost fell down, and then i yelled, i'm going to crack your head you know? then he started to joke again and i yelled not funny!! and then, my stepmom came out of their room, and said what happened...
and i just had to turn away. i dare not look at her because i felt really horrible. its a very sensitive issue, i dont want her to think that i am scolding HER SON, or im, you know, being like a bully because my brother is HER SON. really im not. i love the kids, i've always treated them as nothing other than brothers. i dont even refer to them as step brothers or half brothers. they are just my brothers. and i guess she heard me saying 'i'll crack your head you know', and he's just a pri one kid, and i didnt really mean it, later when i thought about it, but i was angry man. and worse yet, later she seemed a little unfriendly to me when i was leaving... i think jamie must have been quite shocked by my outburst (i threw my handphone halfway across the room because i couldnt hold it and untie the bandage which aron had tied into a tight knot), coz she's never known me to be angry. and the thing is, i wish she had come to my defence and just said that ah ma cried when aron played with the chair, because then my stepmom would know why i was yelling at aron. but she didnt say that so my stepmom prob thought i was just being a bitch.
and then my grandma cried again when i told her i had to leave... she didnt want me to leave and she started to cry and said (in chinese), raining how to leave, and then, i take umbrella for you. but it wasnt raining, the sky was dark but it wasnt raining yet. i assured her i will go back and see her, and said dont cry, smile ok? and she nodded but was still crying. poor ah ma. how i wish i didnt have to leave. i cried when i stepped into the lift... and there was this pizza delivery guy who came in at some level and he felt kinda awkward and didnt really look at me. then all the way home i was feeling miserable. im already a lousy sister. im not even there to see my brothers grow up. they've started questioning, why i dont stay with them, why i always come and go off, why i have a different mother... and im not there for them. and then i go and screw things up more by always scolding and yelling things like that at them. why do i do that. i dont want them to hate me. i dont want my stepmom to hate me, she's always been so good to me. why cant i just be nicer to them. even caring for my grandma to a point of beign fiercely protective, becomes wrong. its wrong because i end up hurting relationships with other members of my family... sigh. really feel terrible.
and there's this constant reminder in my head that now my lifestyle will have to change. i can no longer afford to be so careless with my money. every cent that can be saved, has to be. it makes me irritated, and i feel quite pissed off because i cant do anything about it. i feel like suddenly my family and i have been tagged: POOR. no sense of security. im afraid. and angry. why does it have to be us? i have enough rich friends who still complain they dont have enough, to feel poor. and now, EVEN POORER. why cant life just quit giving us problems. why do other people just live without a care while we bother with so many things.
my mom told me that day that her own transport fees per month goes up to almost $200 (meaning i underestimated when i said ALL 3 OF US go up to $100). and then i have to buy a stinking laptop for poly. which will cost more than my mom's one month pay. and im not working. neither is my dad. sometimes i get thoughts, like, now i cant spend to buy my friends presents for their birthdays anymore. i like to buy my friends presents for their birthdays. even though they dont always buy me presents for mine. i dont know how to make things, so i cant make them anything. cant watch movies. thought of buying cds and then remembered, i cant. now im so aware of everything, its frightening. every single thing yells out, SAVE MONEY!!! you dont know when you'll find your rice tub empty, and have no money to buy another packet. HAI!!!!!!!!!!
well i gotta go. while i still have rise, im going to eat my lunch. this has been a depressing entry.

no apt title
i just cant seem to get myself to sit down here and type blog anymore...... too lazy i guess... its like... so many things happen but i just dont have the time to type them out... haiz.
the past few days... well thursday was Maundy Thursday... that evening i went back to FMC for service and after so long suddenly i saw shang jun, saw crystal, melissa, belinda... haiz. sometimes looking at them im glad i left. there's just no place there for me... always felt that way and i still do... saw andrew too, after some time. his hair sux even more after he changed it (after i told him it sucked before... sigh) but luckily i didnt have to talk to him or anything... then... yeah everyone remained as tau as ever, except jane who came over to say hi and ask me where i went for studies and everything... they sang but it wasnt great. they never sing great, whether they practice or not...
then friday... which was yesterday... had service at night, more like evangelism night lah... church choir did a musical.... was not bad but sometimes i heard the slaughtered chicken sound coming from xin en... i mean i know she thinks she sings great, but maybe she's not as good as she's always thought she is lor... but who's there to tell her yah... got to see ah huat, lookin hot as usual, i mean when does he ever not look hot haha, he couldnt even if he tried real hard... too bad didnt get a longer look, i mean i dont see him very much anymore now that im not there anymore... haha the last time i went back to the church, he brought me a chair, but i walked away once he came haha. wonder why i did that. people shy lah hahahaha. anyway i walked away and didnt really go back so in the end he sat on the chair. lol. cute. anyway i must never forget, people got gurlfren one, haha.
anyway then this morning which was just now, mom dragged me down to play badminton, unfortunately the bloody wind was around so we hardly played anything... haiz. wasted. how long never play badminton already... wanted to make it a good sweaty healthy game but in the end just screwed up by wind.. oh well.
then... slacked around till now.. waiting for mom to come home and feed me haha. later i gotta go choir. sigh. not in the mood for choir. just feel like going out... nowadays no one to go out with... want to go out with people i used to go out with, but most of them more or less already.... aiyah. nvm. anyway tonight my dad coming home liao, after 10 days... wah very fast 10 days liao.
sigh... yesterday the subject of our total household income came up between me and my mom... i will have to give up a lot of things already....and occupy myself with things that dont cost money... our hsehold income now is only $2000... since only left my mom working... my mom tells me we wont survive on that, and i agree.... i guess this may's trip to penang may well be the last one my family can afford to take.... and i will have to be really careful with my money and things that cost money... no more neoprints and stuff, no more movies, no more buying cds or anything. sigh. sometimes i feel quite scared thinking about how we are going to cover our expenses, travel alone for 3 of us can come up to more than $100 a month because of the far distances we travel. food, bills... and now my school fees are like... so much more. sometimes when i think abt this money problem, i feel quite sad, because now i wont really be able to do things i like, and now i have another problem to add to all of mine, and life just cant seem to be as carefree as all my peers and friends' lives... but... God will provide, so im not really fearful. just somewhat sad. haiz.
well. guess thats all. oh. hi del. yup. ciao. take care everyone..

relatively short update
sorry to those who actually still read my blog... i dont update very much or often nowadays, for some reason... i dunno why but i lack the motivation to turn on the comp and type, even though many times in the day i will be thinking of what i wanna blog abt, but strangely i never get down to it.
anyway... in the past few days, quite a lot has happened... erm... not that i can recall much of it but those which stand out are:
1. i accepted mass comm over biomed. *heaves great huge sigh*
2. had jap lesson last night
3. went with my dad and aunt etc to shao mu on sunday... it rained heavily and i was more or less completely drenched and it was very umcomfortable. it's the first time in more than 10yrs since i last visited my grandpa's grave, and never have i visited my grandma's mother's grave, which is a mere stone on the ground and nothing much more. my grandpa's is much more elaborate. it's nice to see my name on his black marble stone... that sounds weird but anyway
4. saw daniel in his uniform today. looks nice. wish i had one to wear too.
5. bought my cd player... same one... lucky me, getting the display set yet again. sigh. but well... nvm lor. got my player back... paid for it myself as usual.
6. that day met jerome and jenna... is that her name?
anyway... haiz. there i go again. forgetting what i want to say. erm. i bought the jolin cd and it sux, please dont buy it. its not that SHE sux, the songs do. they are absolutely boring and very unnatural sounding. she doesnt sound half as good as her qi shi er bian cd... really.
thanks for burnin the 5566 cd for me daniel. quality's fine... cheer up plz....
haiz. then what else... oh yeah. took photo for filling in the forms and stuff.. passport foto... looks weird... but still acceptable lor.
yeah well... dunno lah. nothing to write. forgotten everything liao. ciao.

things that shouldnt happen do, while those that do, dont
thats life fer ya innit... all the stupid things happen that shouldnt, and those that could potentially lift yer spirits and make life worth living, dont. sometimes life feels stupid. like a waste of time. i wonder who is truly happy in life... who's truly happy where they are right now, meaning happy with their family, friends, job/career, money... there's no end to the quest for MORE and BETTER, is there? the most contented person right now will probably find something or other to be discontented about, one second later. which is about now.
i dunno. 's been weird since my discman got stolen... just went to courts to look for a replacement and lucky me, they aint selling it no more... thrillsville innit... my old player which i am using now for the time being, is on the verge of breakdown, after its rather hectic life... and even after i find my player, there's the fat problem of busting my pockets since i got to dig out $200 to buy it... freak it.
and then there's the age-old problem of deciding which bloody course to take in poly!!!! and *faints*, i just found out today that neither tiffany nor dellia will be in ngee ann since they got posted elsewhere... and this little bit of information has sort of come right out of the blue and startled me since all along i had this false sense of security that there would be ex-classmates around, whom i definitely know better than other fairsianz whom i know by face... so tell me, where should i throw myself into, to be devoured by the ferocious lions in the den? mass comm, or biomed, both of which are overspilling with competitive students who will stop at nothing to be the best. i am not very well-informed regarding biomed students, but being the brains that they all are since the cut off is like, what? 10 points?, i am utterly sure they will prove to be no less competitive. however, i do know that mass comm students are firstly, older than me, secondly, VERY impressive in terms of creativity and language, thirdly, determined to kill off all trespassers as they march down the warpath to reach the end where they will be awarded with flowers, a crystal crown, a sash that reads "top 5% of cohort"... im not sure i can survive working and learning from a bunch of perpetually arrogant, stuck up snobs who let you know that they think they are the cream of the crop just because they have their accents and their pretentious ways... all in the name of poser innit... so what wld you do eh.. pursue your dream to someday write something publish-worthy, but grit your teeth and bear with the 'high-class' and the deathly competitive for 3 years, (and lets not even START on if you DONT do well at all after those 3 years...), or go into something in which you have no background of, and know nothing of, simply because you are fascinated and interested in the microscopic world, and ALSO be stuck with the deathly competitive as well as the absolute brainy??? and lets not forget all the hurdles you've fearfully crossed to be selected for mass comm, OR the fact that you are one of the 100 who's been accepted in the biomed course, when there are people who want it probably more, and probably think you have it made just coz you seem to have everything... when in reality, thats bull.. what sort of decision like that is easy to make? sigh. i wish my parents would understand that it is not as clear-cut an answer as they think it is.
naaaaaaaah i dunno. i shall just change topic abruptly, though by now i dont have much time left to type much..
daniel folded me a bottle full of shiny hearts, which now stands upon one of the shelves in my room... appreciate the effort since there's a lot in it... am too tired to give ya a full length account of the past 2 days, both of which i spent some time with daniel... on friday we watched hidalgo, and it wasnt as intense as the trailer portrayed it to be... seats were sold out right to the front row though... but many like me were probably expecting more, and were probably disappointed. even then, i enjoyed the show, hidalgo is actually the name of the horse and not viggo mortisen's (is that the correct spelling??) character.... and the horse is a real dear... he's got this incredulous epxression which is really comical. everyone loves it. his eyes go real big, like in a "Whaaaat??" kinda way hawhaw.
then today i went for church choir... woah damn stressed out... i mean, im still having my cough, plus i havent sung in a choir since we got out of fmss choir which was ages ago... speaking of which some of the juniors have gone to italy for a prestigious competition... im sure they'll do well. hoping to hear the good news soon... anyway, singing in a 100-strong choir is so different from singing in a 10-15 persons group... ive been trained to blast away and singing in a small group just doesnt allow you to do that... but i cannot sing out if i dont blast... which was why 3/4 of the time today i didnt sing, because for one thing my voice is gone, its been damaged by the recent bout of flu and has yet to fully recover. plus, the teacher seems more focused on getting every single dynamic right, then a strong, full loud sound. some parts, he wants us to go soft on the high notes, which is uber hard because too soft is WEAK, but a little stronger is TOO LOUD. sigh. sometimes i dont think we have to follow the book THAT strictly... you can always make the other people louder so in the end this part will still sound softer and the diff can be heard the way u want it... innit?? doh...
right anyway, long entry. havent been here for a while. ciao then...
