Another day of waiting for nothing...
pissed off.
Mon
CO prac learning Matsuri. My arm aches and it doesn't listen to me too. Ate the overly sweet coffee cake tt me, rmmie, yiings and haoyi baked for piggy. And as Tian Qi aptly put it, "yong ai xin zhuo de dan gao, dang ran hao chi". Ajourned to wenyi n yaya's rm to play cards and monopoly. K.O-ed first, cos of the next day's 830 lect (which of cos i overslept). Luckily i went back to my own bed to sleep cos i heard 5 of them squeezed like sardines on the 2 beds.
Tues
Piggy's bdae! We went to Seoul Grdn for lunch. Den it's back to hall. Next i watched The Island. Great action packed GP-ish show about cloning. Reminded me of Gattaca. Not that it was any similar but because of the issue on biomedical manipulation. I think it was quite freaky to a large extent. Imagine if i was the clone being fed lies about my whole existance and when it's my turn to fulfill my ultimate wish, i get cut up. Woopsie spoilers. Good show. 4.5 popcorns! Hope me piggy enjoyed his special day.
Finally, jing an yq came over for bridge, daidee n mahjong at wenyi's rm. I got shi san yao! (my cards were rigged of cos but they actually did it right under my nose, Discretely is the keyword) It was fun, talking abt silly things like shou taos and "Bgoh"(pte joke).
Weds
'Heritage walk' with Wenyi. Walked to NIE and Popular to look at the books. She printed her notes and i got mine. Bought alot of stuff at the sports sale. One of which is a nerdy polarised thick framed sunglasses. On one hand it's abit xin tong spending so much money but on the other i got new stuff. Happy~
Thurs
Jus had lecture wif Dr. D. Interesting CR teacher! He makes dry stuff moist. Lame. Long break now... I think i will go sleep.
Busy busy week... Don't really write my entries in chronological order, reason being as alot of pple say, i have STM loss can't remember wad i did moments ago what more for a few days ago? But this entry has proved tt my memory is still functioning. =)
Being slow and unstable is a liability. Everybody had to wait and kai1 lu4 for me.
Sorry guys.
Butt ache, leg ache, arm aches too.
It was fun nonetheless.
Listening to Norah Jones' Come Away with me on repeat mode. Technically i'm listening to it from someone's blog not in my list of mp3s. It's such a soothing song... The lyrics seem simple enough, but the way she sings it makes me feel all floaty. An ideal song to play when u're cuddling up with ur loved one.
Come away with me And I will write you a songCome away with me on a bus Come away where they can't tempt us With their liesI want to walk with you On a cloudy dayIn fields where the yellow grass grows knee-highSo won't you try to comeCome away with me and we'll kiss On a mountaintopCome away with me And I'll never stop loving youAnd I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roofWhile I'm safe there in your armsSo all I ask is for you To come away with me in the nite.Journeying together. Kissing. Cuddling.
Oh wad bliss.
Colorgenics's online quiz courtesy of yaya's blog. Don't usually put up such stuff cos ultimately i know they're all false. But. jus for the fun of it.
"You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'. Of late, everything seems to be going so slowly - far slower than you anticipated - and this is causing you much anxiety and frustration. It would appear that there is little you can do about the series of events that now seem to be taking place. In spite of the fact that you feel like 'giving up' - don't. Take a deep breath and start over again and you will find that eventually the expression 'All's well that ends well' will have an extra special meaning for you. Compromise is the name of the game at this time and it is the only way you can avoid being deprived of the love and affection you so rightly deserve -so soften up a little, be flexible. You are presently experiencing excessive stress as a result of self-restraint. You act and think differently from the common herd and you want to be liked and admired for yourself and to associate with people who feel and act as you do. Because of this need to be self-reliant and to break away from mediocrity, you are finding this situation most uncomfortable and you are experiencing considerable anxiety - perhaps even more than you feel the capacity to cope with. You need to find a 'soul mate', someone whose standards are as high as your own - but where? Keep on searching... The situation is uncomfortable and you would like to break away from it, but you refuse to compromise with your opinions. You are unable to resolve the situation because you are continually postponing the making of necessary decisions. You are stubborn but this is no deterrent to a happy life, so why drop your standards. Think positively, everything will work out. It has worked out successfully for you in the past and it will again in the future. The tensions and stresses that you have experienced of late have been the result of trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond your capabilities. You feel completely inadequate to cope with the situation and you would like nothing better to escape from it all and to be able to relax in a problem and pressure free environment where you can do your thing."
Perplexing.
When i rationalise my actions i seemed to have made a moutain out of a molehill but when i go with what i believe it seems perfectly alright to be feeling and thinking that way. I'm quite possessive.. is it even the right word to describe it. Hums.
It was a pleasent surprise to receive it even if it was a fluke.
I did feel a little perked up by it.
Thank you PC for organising the bbq~ I think she put in alot of effort in the organising. I love the curry chicken. yum yum. Pity quite a few couldn't make it. I still had fun catching up with the 01 pple. Especially at the end where only Pc, merv and Yc were left and we spent time talking about everything we coud think of. Jus like wad retirees do, sit down n chat.
There are times when i jus have to choose what to do and who to go with. Even though both options seem appealing. Y do the good things always have to happen at the same time.
But i don't regret my choice. =)
What exactly have i done?
CS FOC.
cool shite. Shan't elaborate. Didn't really get to know any jnrs. But i got to know alot of pple whom i see ard often but neva got a chance to speak to. Nice job there by the organising comm i guess.
CO Bbq.
Mahjong. Bridge. Laughing. Hiding under a table. If only i didn't sign up for FOC i would have been able to go for all 3 days. Humph! But i got a dip in the pool. i'm contented.
Bkk.
I learnt how to speak Thai. Ratchathewi. Ratchademri. Siam. Phaya Thai.
Nah, kidding. Those are the names of their BTS skytrain stations, but i'm proud to say i can pronounce them properly! Took the mrt, the public boat, the taxi, the airport bus ard too but din manage to try the tuk-tuks. But someone called them the "motorcycle-thing". So i guess there's nth much to it except i'll be inhaling loads of exhaust fumes along the way. I took an interesting photo of a police booth. I named it campbell soup! Check out my display pic if u're interested.
Being in a foreign land where you can't communicate with the majority is quite an experience. Times like this when all the games of charades during camps pay off. Actually it's not difficult getting around Bkk cos u're in the central and a higher chance that u will get someone who can understand abit of what u're saying plus the pple there are friendly.
Seems like the whole world went/is going to Bkk. I actually met 2 of my frens at seperate locations on the same day. One of which, pointed at me and gave a huge laughter when he saw me. Said he didn't expect to see anyone here. I was sulking, thus was abit taken aback by his outburst. "Tts nice," I thought. It's a small world after all.
Went to the King's Palace. It would have looked perfect if not for all the restoration work going on. Ruined my pictures of the temples and monuments. =(
Caught the Calypso Cabaret show. They look so real apart frm the thick makeup. I've been thinking it's easier to become a girl than to become a guy, for reasons i shall not elaborate over here. Some of them do look quite gorgeous, and that figure. Woowheet.
Went to the Chatuchak Weekend market, famous Mah Boon Krong (MBK), some night market which i forgot the name and Patpong night market to shop. Didn't buy much though.
Caught a glimpse of Go-go girls doing their bartop dances while walking along Patpong mkt and many, I mean MANY, pple hawking their "live shows" and Dvds if u know wad i mean.
Overall... It was good to be able to go abroad after so long and experience something new.
Can't remember anything major b4 this... Brain drain.
Moving back to hall should be the next major event...
Surprising no one asked me y not.
Not that i could give a specific reason...
Sometimes i like to do things according to my mood.
I'd like to walk a different route even if it means walking alone...
but i do wish someone would come wif me once in a while.
