I was transport-less for the past few days ... and it was kind of interesting, yet at the same time it was frustrating.

I missed one lecture, was late for two lectures ... and brought out an umbrella for don't know since how long.

It allowed me to take buses and trains which i felt i kind of missed. I felt my life suddenly became slower ... being able to stone in the train compartment, fell asleep on the NEL line, watch MobTV on bus 10, get jammed at the card reader because it couldn't read my ezlink card, took cab and ended up running all over Arts Canteen to change a 50 dollar note because the uncle got no small change.

It was a significant adaptation in some way, and one which i would say is beneficial. At least my transport is back now. I have learnt to cherish and appreciate the significance of it. =)

Some randoms ...

I went by Cathigh just now and on the wall outside just below the school name, they painted something along the lines of "School of Gentlemen" ... with "Scholars" and "Bilingualism" thrown in as well ... i chuckled to myself =p

And today on the bus, i saw this PLMGS girl wearing this PE tshirt if i am not wrong, with the words, "Look up, Lift up" on it ... hmmm it's certainly not suggesting anything eh?

Pageant contestants ...

With KZhang and Trina ...

It's awkward how this post will sound a lot like yl mei's entry but it's weird how things happened. Probably because i came home missing my 1st lecture of the semester feeling like shit.

I am very very thankful for my parents.

There were many instances when i got into trouble and i didn't quite know what to do because i was in a state of shock. But I will always remember 2 particular incidents for the rest of my life.

First one was when i was Primary 5 and when the form teacher kicked me out of the class. I was lost, confused and didn't know what to do. My mum saved me.

Second one was this morning. Pa thank you for coming down to find me and help me settle everything. Sorry for causing you to spend unnecessary money and taking time from work to solve the problem i created.

And of course many many more other things which they have sacrificed and done for me. =)

Thank you both so much ...

The lingering smell of shampoo ... came home still smelling her shampoo! =p

Anyway i think i've decided to get the iphone. Although the Omnia beats the iphone hands-down in terms of spec, but the iphone still appeals to me more. Hopefully i am able to reserve the white one soon when i am out one of these days, at least won't look like the bunch of black ones around.

Called around to ask whether i am able to purchase one sometime soon without reservation (because i was too relac to go book one), they said nope and so i probably got to go down to a Hello shop and see what they say. I've got a feeling that whether or not my contract hits 21 months doesn't quite matter for the price.

Haha ... the talk of religion ... anyway that day i was asking sy about her stand on the existence of Man. For me i believe more strongly that Man exists more through evolution, not creation. Somehow Darwin's theory just seems more plausible for me.


Yesterday went down to Vivo's Marche for Doris' farewell dinner. I realised it's the first time the bunch of us had a meal together ... the house ics with the ogls and aogls.

It was nice seeing Doris after seeing her repeatedly for so many days during camp and then she totally disappeared when school started. And i totally love the photobook they made for her!!! Then they said i've got one too!!!!! =)))))))) YAYYYYYY!!!
Anyway to Doris: Thank you for being part of my super wonderful experience during the 2 orientation camps this year. Stay crazy and fun ... go Canada do more cheers k! Hahaha take care and come back soon!!

Sometimes ...

I just need people to appreciate what i am doing

I just sacrifice some other things in order to make others happy

I just need people to be more patient with me

I just hope people would help me a little

I just stand alone ...

And question myself on what would have been a better way to do some things,

Or ...

Would it better if i had hidden in the hole and be by myself?


That day i was in the Adolescence Psychology lecture, and the lecturer posted a question on when does adolescence start and when does it end. There were some criteria and i thought i fulfilled all of them, but what was weird was that it seemed as though i was going back chronologically on these points.

One of those 'emo nights' as my newest friends would have called it. I reckon i should take up and embrace a religion. Maybe Buddhism. The thought of 'sufferings' and 'enlightment', as well as spiritual development or 'The Four Noble Truths' greatly appeal to me now.

As expected, China overcame our women's table tennis. Oh well, i was hoping for a Man U-Bayern '99.

And speaking of which, Newcastle played rather well just now. But the shortage of firepower upfront was clearly evident. Campbell was unlucky with the header which struck Given's head. Else it would have been GG.

Some randoms ...

Michael Phelps is ... i don't know what's the best word to describe. How can a one man act be so power? As in sweeping everything in WR timings? It's like Ronaldo scoring all the goals.

Congratulations to the Women's Table Tennis team!!! I was cheering them on like siao la! But Feng Tian Wei is damn shuai la. Damn ice-cool shuai. Fight for the golddddd!!!

It's super interesting to see so many people's profiles updates on facebook "... went from single to in a relationship ... " or " ... is no longer listed as single", then everyone else will go like "WHO WHO WHO??!?!" LOL

Arts BASH next week! 23rd Aug at Zouk!! Come down for the crowning of the King and Queen of Arts!
More info on www.artsbash08.blogspot.com

This sem first time ever, 5 modules, 5 points in total. HUAT AH! May my tutorial balloting be shun shun li li also ah.

The thing i love about orientation camps is that you are totally 'tak glam' one. Narcissistic post. =p

Suddenly the SCV at home has all the channels. ALL. Crazily.

=)

Damn unglam ... but i like =)

Oweek was a blast! 3 cheers to the ocommers!

And TaDah HUAT AH!!!
This photo is TOTALLY hilarious!


It was good to see during the closing ceremony the different OGs - Tawowee, Ta-Ching, Tamade, Tai Tai and Tarzan huddle together as one OG each, as one big house ... the friendships and bond made surely made me smile.

------------

I walked away tired and drained, but definitely more experienced. Yet just like what i told Doris, i could feel the fire burning out already. Ah well ... i guess for now i've done my part for T-house, and perhaps for the next 2 years. New blood will take over and spread the crazy arts spirit.

School's starting and time to Gambateh!

Oweek part 1 has officially ended. Was feeling quite sick yesterday but after lots of flu remedy and pi pa gao, i am feeling better. Tmr there's FIC and Arts Open!! The turnout for T-house is great ... and despite plenty of drama the 1st 3 days, i guess we won't see too high an attrition rate.

Gonna sleep! Night!
