900 approaches... so eggciting. =p

it's not like we know each other very well; we've only had one proper conversation.

saw ww on the train on my way to school (and his way to camp, i suppose, due to the green garb) this morning. actually, he saw me first, and that was on his way out of the train. pleasant surprise. and he remembers my name. how amazing. considering i first knew (of) him almost 2 years ago. and we aren't in touch or anything. but perhaps it's understandable that i left a slightly depper impression on him. (shrug) so perhaps it's not entirely super duper surprising, then, that he remembers me. and my name. well. after he left i realised he might be one of the key things my brain associates with memories of the time i spent in JC. (year 2, to be more precise) weird. he wasn't even from hc. [but i think i can still see the connection here, though not the reasons] weird. because i was suddenly nostalgic. (?!) i caught myself remembering. reminiscing. slightly. a bit here and there. there are things that serve as poignant reminders, keys, to certain memories, to certain aspects of certain memories. ... people, places, smells, sounds. i was nostalgic, and strangely, i felt like writing. felt like i had so much to write. and not just about this. and so i scribbled this on the back of my lab manual, on the way home. perhaps such things will happen often enough so i can be a poet. perhaps this is a beginning. ha.... i don't know how to explain/describe this (further).

today was superimposed on a background of nostalgia and nebulous dreams.

perhaps it was opportunity forgone.

amazing brain. the way it forms links and associations and tags and triggers. seemingly without the awareness of the consciousness. until something happens. and i'm still trying to figure out why.

to think i actually wrote so much about this.

mwahahaha... i got my laptop back... =p so i'm sitting at home typing + trying to siam beetle now... instead of in school with the lovely lovely air-conditioning. heh. blah. hmmm somehow it's feeling foreign to me. as if i don't know it anymore. i suppose it was because i had to personalise it right from the start. again. now it looks familiar... but somehow still feels weird... hm. whatever.

anyway. today has been rather efficient. (i think) i ended lessons at 11h30, walked to the comp shop (slipped n times on the way, stupid storm), demanded my laptop back, took bus out of school, took train to woodlands ([re]read Ender's Game all the way), waited for joyjoy to appear (while reading said book), had lunch with her at mos, took train home, did stuff on the comp... and i was still in time to catch the triathlon on tv(15h00)! haha. i'm mad. nvm. neeways the triathlon was fun (to watch). why do people like to torture themselves so much? ...and once again i'm brought to the painful realisation that i haven't been exercising much at all. sigh. .

i shouldn't go out with towkay too often. i'll get indigestion from laughing too much. haha. imagine 2 people laughing at almost nothing almost all the time. (the rest of the time we were saying stupid things) indigestion aside, towkay's fun. =p hmm... *wistful*

i'm turning into a pig.
here's a list of the (evil) things i ate this week (so far):
monday: swensen's frosted chocolate malt sundae + fries
tuesday: thai beef kwayteow + new york cheesecake (nydc) + crazysexycool (mudpie frm nydc)
today: mos burger + loadsa fries + chicken wings (fried+chilli)
does watching the olympic games make me feel more exercised? stupid brain.
YET... according to the BMI thingy i'm still underweight. madness.

someone make me exercise....

How evil are you?

there are times i think astrology is more accurate (for me) than numerology is. but then again both are just sources of entertainment. haha. i didn't blow any candles out on my birthday this year. sad? perhaps. ah well. astrology. the i-ching. palmistry (extremely hilarious). tarot. crystal gazing. meteorology. ahh. i'm blabbering again.

the computer shop in school refuses to give my laptop back to me. (yes yes i did send my laptop to hospital. decided to end the war. finally.) sigh. called them, they said they'll call back... i'm still waiting. shall call them again later to bug the heaven out of them. hmph. i want to play game... waah... (".) whine.

i have yet to change the way this blog is looking. i've been harping on it for ages. excuses. wait till i get the laptop back. sigh. irritation. i want to blog more often/regularly too. hmph.
and to add to all my misery i'm dying from boredom. *big sigh*

in other news, i got my Ender's Game back from Karima. finally. after about one year. that girl... i shall reread it before lending it to Lynette. my poor Ender...

me's glad to say the concert on sunday went quite well. i'm quite happy with it.. and the barking/yelping went well too, i suppose. haha. now people in philwinds refer to me as the bitch. sigh. those people...... bleah. thanks to aminah michelle and lynette for attending the concert and witnessing me barking (up the wrong tree).. haha. so fun. then after the concert the four of us went to see the fireworks... so many people! sigh. had to fight through the crowd to get anywhere. well we went to Magic Wok to eat. (go see lynette's blog for the pictures)... yummy. =p was quite a nice day lah. bleh. concert high.... =p

today... had a boring lecture... eukaryotic cells. they insist on teaching us all about prokaryotes and eukaryotes every semester. haha. well... after lecture 5 of us (aminah, huishan, mich, lynette and me) went seoul garden to eat... useless place. but well. me helped mich correct her french essay there as well. haha. after that 4 of us went to kino in orchard (huishan went home cos she was carrying too many textbooks)... and Then after that me and lynette walked around for a bit before going home. my great day out. i have to save money. else no more moolah to ... liao. well. sigh. moolah problems. blah. shrug.

Doom 3... me wants to play. will probably die like hell, but i still want to play. hmm i think i'll be so fascinated with the monsters (they look really interesting) that i'll end up not shooting them. haha. ah well... i miss playing carrom too... so sad. *waaah* nostalgic. getting old. . sigh.

early recollections, pearls cast out
on an unforgettable string,
faceless ranks of acquaintances, the
first man on a crescent moon.
the sands of time reshape the tides.
we tread carefully on the multi-faceted
web of moments.
i pause,
reel in my line.

wheee...
need to let food digest before i sleep. hmmm. i feel fat! ugh. need to do something about it. easier said than done, seeing as i'm eating and eating regardless of race language or religion... sigh. i can't seem to stop eating so much. bleah. and i eat at weird hours. sigh. but when i'm hungry i'm hungry. and i'm hungry about every 3 hours or so. so sad.

have been going for band practices these few evenings. because of the concert on sunday. hmmm hope the concert will be fun and good and all the rest of it. hopefully fulfilling. well. but these pieces we're playing are quite exciting and ok to listen to. not too heavy. haha. well. lynette mich and aminah are going for the concert! yay. then they can witness my dog cadenza. it still needs practice, though. can't make the dog (terrier) sound funky enough. or something. i dunno. sore throat. blah.

zzz...

for now i think i'll blog from school. since i have so much time in school. bleh. now comp prac. biostats. so boring. type while i listen...

National Day.
went pulau ubin to cycle and to experience a bit of rural Singapore... my good idea to go ubin. the first time i went ubin since OBS. took the funky ferry... got a few facefuls of diesel (Esso), got salty face and hair and whatever after that cos on the ride back i was standing at the back ie exposed to the elements (so as not to be deafened by the super loud and high-pitched whine of the engine) yay....! funky. got a bit of sun (was expecting more but never mind)... achy legs... well anyway i came to the conclusion that ubin is more radioactive than mainland (!) Singapore. haha because all the plants and animals are at least 3 times bigger than what we normally see (zoo/bird park not counted) ... so there. bleah. hmm wat did i see there... one beeg spider who was trying to eat a butterfly, one beeg lizard on a coconut tree, a few mudskippers, a little dead frog, a beeg dead horseshoe crab (scary.. looks a bit like Predator), many rambutans, ants, 1000 people.... sooo eggciting i tell you. shall go there every now and then.. haha. anyway i only got 2 mosquito bites cos i forgot to put repellent on my neck. =p picked a handful of (extremely cute and nice and funky) seashells and coral skeleton too! hee hee. hmmm but the treasures are still with ender. lemme reiterate. MINE good idea to go ubin. bleh.
well after ubin went changi village to eat the Famous Nasi Lemak. I queued for 30 minutes, while someone just sat there and waited. *hmph* haha but then i'm such a nice person. and i'm the boyfriend. ah well. blah. changi beach was super crowded. madness. somehow it was mostly Malay families having picnics and bbq. haha... so exciting. i also want!!! bleh. well i reached home in time to catch the NDP on TV. watched half the fireworks from my mother's room =p. watched Singapore Idol. it's even more pathetic than the American one. hahah. but damn funny lah. well.

well i had a fun fun National Day (though tiring) .. yay. heh. long time never crap so much on the blog liao... hmmm. shall be more consistent from now on. since it's super accessible now that school's started again...
Zzz...

bleh... Acer computers feel weird. haha me in comp lab in the BioSci building.

hmmm haven't blogged in a long time cos i'm still mad at my laptop. (plus i'm too lazy to back things up and reformat the thing) sigh. will do so soon. REAL soon. mwahaha.

zzzzz....
