March holidays are too short!
And I have been drinking too much coffee. Monday, Tuesday, Friday: Coffee at Coffee Bean. Wednesday: 2 Nescafes. Thursday: Coffee at Gloria Jean's. At this rate, I'll get those splitting headaches if I stop drinking coffee.

This has been a week full of math. I will be very jaded if I don't do decently for monday's test. Sigh. I mean, it's so much easier to not try, give up from the start, so when you really fail you can just shrug it off, knowing you never bothered in the first place. Oh well. I also watched a lot of movies. Donnie Darko. (Heard it was good, watched it, quite liked the concept.) Love Me If You Dare. (I wanted to watch it again!) Twilight. (yes, the first time I'm watching it.. And yes, Edward Cullen reminds me of Edward Averill Ng, lol.) A few others but they are forgettable, so. I was looking through the website and there were very few that I have yet to watch. Any movie recommendations, anyone?

Sigh. I feel like reading this again: In The Absence of Men. Philippe Besson. It would be very nice to be able to read it in French. One day, I will sit myself down and really learn my grammar and pronunciation and not make a laughingstock out of myself if and when I head to France. Or, I can just tag along behind someone like Van or Davina and not embarrass myself.

And also, I want to look at the Lucifer series again but you can't get it at the library and the only one who has it is Fishie. ):

I want to put up pictures of my sister, who has gotten VERY CHUBBY  (she has a double chin now) what with the constant breastfeeding. I am too lazy to do so now, but soon!!

So many wants, so little time, so many other priorities! IS , LIT (I haven't even read the plays I'm supposed to be analysing!!), oh gosh oh gosh...

Sigh. You're burning bridges baby. burning bridges, making wishes? D: right now, it feels more burnt than burning..

Today,  I tried to do work. Keyword: Tried.

The more I look at the books for my KI IS, the more irritated I feel. If only I could get the whole thing done in a week and be done with it.
And Literature H3.  It's such a disaster, with the proposal due in less than 2 weeks and me having no clue whatsoever about what I intend to do and what is LIT-y enough to do on. Everything seems so KI. Ah, seriously can't wait to get both the papers over and done with and have the freedom to read books I really want to read (and no, they are not all trashy).

Spent the past week talking to and hanging out with people I never really knew or tried to know. It's surprising how wrong you can be about people, I guess I need to stop assuming so much; stop assuming my assumptions are accurate and letting them cloud my judgment. It's refreshing, with the change in conversation topics and the jokes of a different kind. Sorry Vaneh!  (though you have to admit it was quite win!)

Gattaca; watched it again today. The movie is so quotable. I never saved anything for the swim back. Jude Law looks uglier than he should in the movie but Ethan Hawke looks quite dashing. Looks aside, the story is lovely. Underdogs, ftw! AMANDA GO WATCH THIS, I am sure you will love it. I want to go read Vincent/Jerome fiction if there is any out there, which I think there is, but once I start reading it'll be quite hard to stop. For the sake of my non-existent Literature H3 proposal, I have to shelve that idea till goodness knows when. :(

Yesterday Aran asked me what kind of music I listen to/what's my favourite music. And I couldn't answer him.. I keep listening to the same playlists over and over. Sticking to the familiar and even then, what do I really REALLY like?! I could say Stars, Anberlin, Copeland, Fall Out Boy... Just because I like them enough to watch them in concert. But that doesn't mean they're my favourites. I need people like Gen around who would actively send you new songs to listen to! Bah.

Meanwhile, I  shall stick to replaying songs like A Slow Descent - Straylight Run. To my newest drinking buddies: The beginning of the song is quite apt, right.

A slow descent from unique to routine, over and over, "just do it again and this time with feeling".

A time for change.

Those days in Nanyang felt like a century ago. Not going back this year felt odd. But, okay.
It's been so long that the lure of the music rooms, rooftop and empty corridors isn't as strong as before..

Back to the start of today:

Selling nachos - all good. Lots of fun. Like last year, the machine acted up just when there was a influx of customers. We made profits and had cheese and nachos to spare :)

Yusheng - A messy affair, strands of asdfdunnowhat flying on everyone's hair and much going to waste.

After - Everyone started disappearing. Eventually, Tag, SH, Ruizi, Van, Huishi, Rach, Joanna and I left for a very small class lunch. For a moment, we thought we left Rachel behind at the bus stop and panicked. And then Tag and SH were being retarded and loud on the bus.

Bugis - Teppanyaki, great food. Can't believe the dumb things Tag did at the fountain. (Someone please blog about this!) Too bad we didn't get any footage of it - the look on the little kid's face + his yelp of terror were priceless!

Disbelief - I can't believe we (Van, RZ, me) actually went to the library and did work today! Truth be told, I didn't get much done, despite the number of books I grabbed from the shelves. Sorry librarians! Can't believe Tag went shopping with Huishi (lingerie! !! !!!) And that Van agreed to eat with Tag...

(and no, not really lingerie but Tag was very eager to go, "OKAY! If it's lingerie shops, I don't mind.")


Also, Since the maid got here (2 weeks ago?), my room has transformed so much I don't know where a lot of my things are.
I miss my organised mess(es). Am very thankful I no longer have to wash dishes though :D :D

Lost my train of thought awhile ago.
I'm really tired zzz, hope SATs tomorrow go okay. Go, Claire !

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL YO.
I'm sure waking up so early was a bitch for most people. It's gonna take some time to get used to getting up at 0540 instead of 1300. Sigh.
I'll really miss late nights up, when it's so much quieter and the air so much cooler.

Econs - I want William Tan back! If today's lesson is anything to go by, I'll be spending half of tutorials stoning or talking to Rachel.
Mondays seriously suck. I end school at 1200 but I have to stay back cos tennis only starts at 1600 ! 4 hours to kill.
Today's 4 hours were okay though, far from productive but definitely not pleasejustkillmenow boring.
Tennis - Fadil made us do all the fitness stuff; suicide, pushups, ma bu, weird stomach exercise, fast feet..etc.
I think I'm gonna ache tomorrow.

On a more sombre note, My brother got his results today. Could have been much better.
I felt so upset/bad/awful/worried for him when he told me what he got. I really hope he gets into a decent school.

4 more days and we get to sleep in till 1300, JIAYOU!
