a muggy sort of weekend.

got cut washing dishes. i mean, why the hell would a glass bowl grow splinters?!

ahhh, a storm long overdue.

marie, daryl and i having a ‘let’s look spastic!’ contest. apparently, my right eye’s pretty retarded. really.

thanks for the Strawberry Cheesecake B&J’s ;)

Batman

HAD to steal this from Sam’s blog:

AIRPORT SECURITY: What’s your name?
PASSENGER: Batman.
AS: Your real name, please.
P: My name IS Batman.
AS: Are you trying to be funny?! What’s your surname?
P: Superman.
Airport security handcuffs him & puts him in a locked security facility.

forgiveness.

not sure if i've been forgiven, but i guess you two are really magnanimous to have tried to put it behind us right away. i’m really thankful for that, and i hope to make amends as best i can. i know that i can never heal the wounds i inflicted by my thoughtlessness, but i’d like to ask for a chance to be that better friend to all of you. it’s not in my nature to call people up for chats, yet, if that would bring us all closer, i will try. some of what i’m saying here might sound hypocritical, but please please please believe that every word is 200% sincere cos i cherish all of you. thank you for being there for me. may i grow some sense and be more sensitive to your feelings in future; and may our friendship grow stronger as we banish the obstacles that come our way.

i <3 Click.

life's a blast! yeah right.

alone in the Hons room with my music on a rainy saturday yet again. it's making me feel a lil emo, but i'm trying to convince myself that my life is almost perfect. after all, i'm only left with my ISM (only?!), eco-d presentation and catchment report. then i'll have 20 days to mug for 2 papers, after which i'll be jetting off to Tokyo with Balls and Shaz dear!

it's starting to get to me, that the sem is almost over. that my student life is almost done. that i'm losing my excuse to live off my parents. hahahaha! just kidding. sho shaaaad... =( pretty soon, we'll all be singing to Avenue Q's "I Wish I Could Go Back to College"! even though happy times are coming to an end, i have many things to be thankful for.

i'm really glad to have gotten to know Click since our youthful yr 1 days. the gratitude for the friendship, love and support you guys have shown me throughout the past 4 yrs goes beyond my mastery with words.

and since the beginning of Hons year, i've gotten to know some friends a little better. i wouldn't trade our days together for anything. in no order of merit:

Didi: awesome. just awesome. friendly, helpful, great taste in music, likes Andys, hates lizards, fellow linguist! what would Hons year be without you...

Veron: awesome2! hahhaa! glad to have shared fieldwork, kinky stuff and all assorted rubbish with you. must teach me yoga in future k?!

Liling: thanks for brightening our stressful days with your cheery personality and neverending nonsense e.g. punking me with Ziggy's fb! honey pork here we come!!!

Erin: sweet, sweet girl. fellow BTNR explorer and H!ggs' fieldwork daughters. i'll miss our days of fieldwork and sharing lit with each other. thanks for just being you!

Val P: together, we're the Valsss! physical geographers summore. i'll reminisce our gossip sessions Indiana H!ggs and soon to be Indiana Z!gg.

Puey Ling: how old are you arh? 296? lol. was real glad to have played a part in your bday celebrations. and how can we forget those $3 frappes at gloria jean's with Mel! "i loved him yesterday. i love him today. i will love him tomorrow and forever." ahahahaha!

Mel aka Mrs Owyong: blurblock. so-and-so pulled a Mel. hahahhaa. we're really gonna miss you dearie, when u're spending time being a good wife to John. don't stare at streetwalkers or give beer to drivers anymore ok?!

Alvin: lovable paranoid android. alvin, drive faster! love the sarcasm and self-deprecating humour btw. ;)

Tim: pourquoi?! stop being scared of pontianaks and ghosts! lol. thanks for teaching me a bit of excel the other time!

Ben Yuan: another blurblock. stop forgetting my name, swinging things into my face, and remember to do really important things like FFG! haha, thanks for being such a caring friend!

Sophie: another asbolutely sweet soul. and my bday sis! wish i had more opportunities to know you better. thanks for the gerberas, love!

Wins: the internet is for porn!!! absolutely enjoy talking rubbish and singing Avenue Q with you. don't stress k? *hugs* let's drag the others to have PE again soon!

Vince: you gotta work on your jokes, dude! :P such a down-to-earth guy, real glad to know you. don't forget me when you become rich and famous!

Weixiong: more fat days and PE together k! i strive to be as lean as you :P

Hazel: ah, my romantic friend... even though i keep making fun of your romantic thoughts, i'm quite the romantic too! so we'll go do romantic things together in future, like ride horses in wide open meadows and picking lavender in the sunset. hee...

Clare: yet another sweetie. seeing a bit more spunk in this one now though! we need to share our K-idols with each other :P

Barney & Petrina: you two are like twins! although i can't imagine 2 purple dinosaurs though... can't believe i'm only knowing you two better in year 4 when we could've been better friends in NY. fate works in funny ways...

Wei Lun: MSN buddy! i know what you did last summer... hahaha! you make me feel like i'm in secondary school again! and you're pretty fun to have around, until you start forgetting your limits... thanks for the cake, mate!

and last but not least, Bro: i still can't believe i hated your guts till the almost the middle of yr 4 sem 1 lah! i'm REALLYYYYY grateful i got to know you for a second time. you got my back and i got yours. ;) someday, i'm gonna compile a list of the "derogatory" names you've conferred upon me and shove them all back at you. HA!

all this is just the tip of the iceberg. if i reminisce any more right now, i think i might just cry... oh well, back to ISM. love you all, my amazing friends.

zonked.

spent a very dreary 23rd bday yesterday by no fault of anyone's. thanks peeps, for all the bday wishes and hugs! and thanks Veron and Didi for the chocolate and the sweet German note that came with it =) Wei Lun and Ben Yuan bought me nice slice of chocolate cake from olio dome and was gonna celebrate with me, after catchment but i had to rush off to submit the engin proj so they left before i got back. so sad...

funny Bro... he didn't know it was my bday and he was like "eh, why didn't you tell me it was your birthday?!" like it's my fault for not drawing attention to it. -_-'''

dinner was chicken rice at some market in Dover, Bro's treat. thanks Bro, still owe ya a shake. we went back to the Hons rm to do work, and we ended up taking some really ugly pics using Veron's Mac. check them out on facebk. ;)

on the way home, met some creepy, drunk uncle at the bus stop outside NJ. there was just the two of us... he asked me abt whether 961 was still running at that time and i told him yes. after he sat down at the bench diagonally in front of me, he kept turning around to look at me. it was so unnerving! i sms-ed bro and he told me to walk away to somewhere with people. even if it was a good idea, where was i gonna find ppl at 11+pm along Bkt Timah Road??? fortunately, my bus came and i got away. *shudders*

got home, showered, got cracking on my eco presentation. i slept a grand total of 2.5h! shiok max. ahahahaha. sadly, my presentation bombed. i think there was no interesting way to present a paper so dry that the words actually get stuck in your throat on their way out.

sophie, my gorgeous birthday sis, bought a stalk of gerbera for each person in class, including H*rvey Neo. so sweet right?? i got 3 cos it was my birthday too! :P thanks babe!

anyways, i'd like to thank my lovely friends for the remembering my birthday and sending me all those facebk and text messages. love y'all.

oh yeah, i got punkd. for the full story, please ask me in person. heh.

i love you all

Leave Out All the Rest - Linkin Park

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
