this might sound surprising but the dreamweaver(IFCPROJ) class today was actually pretty ok. reason: there wasnt anyone there who was stressing me out with his/her constant yelling of not being able to open his/her files. usually i wont be able to, and i'll get a panic attack. heh.
not today. because only 9 out of 23 people went for the class. OBVIOUSLY, i'm one of them. yes, everyone else decided to skip today's class since they were getting nowhere with it and it was stressing the hell out of them. ok i know i was stupid to stay behind. i mean, i still feel so! but...i dont know.. it's just me. i swear i was so tempted but most of the time i dont use these opportunities. stupid, aint i?
but i it didnt really matter now that it's over. because the class was so quiet and peaceful, i was pretty relaxed. plus for the first time, my teacher actually helped us! :O
anyhow, i'm so crazy about Rooster right now. i know it's just a phase that wont last but RIGHT NOW, it's happening. heee heee. i liked them before but after watching "Rooster- Busking in the sun" on mtv where they busked accoustically at Orchard Road, i've become c-ra-zee about them. i loved how the guitarist played all the tunes. Like honestly, Luke, can u pleeeaaaase teach me how to play it like you? please? *twinkles eyes*
and i'm in love with Nick's voice. it's actually kinda sexy. ;) although i seriously think he needs to cut his hair.
i feel like buying Oasis' album as well. Somebody stop me!!!

cds have been my batteries in school these few days because i kinda lost my reciever last week and bro was kind enough to lend me his discman. i found my reciever last night, but decided to continue to bring along a much bigger, bulkier and heavier object(discman) because i found out that cds would be much nicer to listen to when i'm having non-productive moments (as compared to radio , that is).
it also gave me the opportunity to rate and comment on my newly-boughts. lol yes. havent exactly got the chance to listen to the albums completely due to..erm... uncontrollable, addictive cd purchases recently. they just kept rolling in. heh.
Reviews:
Lifehouse-Lifehouse: has a little chill-out-coffee-house flavour in it. might think that most of the songs sound similar the first time listening but after a couple of rounds, the songs actually have individuality and some of them are really good. great to listen to when u're alone in the room thinking about nothing. Favourite song: All In All. Seige-scale: 7.5/10
Rooster-Rooster: lots of pop-rock tunes in it. a couple of mellow rock/pop-ish songs. great album. :) Suitable to listen to at any time. Favourite song: To Die For. Seige-scale: 8.5/10
Keane (b***t lol)- Hopes and Fears: a couple of the songs are a little boring but lots of great tunes make up for it. very much different from the two above. nice to listen to when u're bored at night. or when u need music to put u to sleep(in a good way of cos). Favourite song: Everybody's Changing. Seige-scale: 7/10
Jack Johnson (*u*n*)- On and On: chill-out-coffee-house music. great tunes from the very talented surfer dude. very mellow and relaxing. suitable to listen to at night, and when u think u're way too stressed up. (thanks ANNA!!) Favourite song: Taylor. Seige-scale: 8/10
Coldplay- X&Y: um, u really have to judge this urself. u'll either love it or hate it. it'll probably take some time before it'd really grow on u. Favourite song: Fix You. Seige-scale: 7.5/10
and now..let me leave u with the lyrics of one of my favourites.
"i wanna live
and i wanna breathe
always thought you'd be the one to set me free
But i can forgive
cos you make me believe in something more
now i only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for"
Rooster- To Die For. (*claps*)
Rooney next!
NO WONDER i'm broke.

Nightmare on Tam Ave 21
dreamweaver just kills me. kills me all the time. and what's better? our teacher refused to teach us because she insisted that we should learn it ourselves only with the help of the book. plus, she also mentioned that we should already have basic skills since we are info-comms students. f off. we're still students, and dont generalise. THE LEAST she could do was help us when we needed it. that's what teachers are for...helping students. .....isnt it?
the dreamweaver class sucked (yea i'm sure you can tell by now) because apparently, what we did and saved last week(which consisted of unit A- unit D) was disabled. in other words, they were gone. naturally, most of us freaked out. sure, this wasnt something that we needed to hand up to the teacher, but without units A- D, how the hell were we supposed to continue units E-G, which SHE said we must complete by tomorrow's lesson?!? some lucky people saved their stuffs into their thumb drive, so they still had it. I DONT HAVE A DAMNED THUMB DRIVE.
trying to retrieve that stupid thing was freaking exasperating, and when people around me started managing to retrieve their stuff, boy, i almost had a panic attack. i havent got it yet, but i'm sure i'll have it real soon. you just wait and see. :) Anxiety disorder symptoms- coming up!
as if i didnt feel sick enough, on the bus back, this boy and girl (i typed boy because i decided he wasnt mature enough to be a guy yet) sitting right behind me kept "flirting" with each other in a i'm-just-playing-coy-but-you-should-know-i'm-flirting way. makes sense? of course, i refused to turn my head and look at them but i couldnt help listening to them. (oops!!! :P) and then she went like, "*laughs* no! no....*the back of my chair shakes* hahahah..no...*shakes again* dont want! very ugly..haha*chair feels her pushing and kicking*". -_-
a while later...
girl: *laughs*hey give me back my ic.
boy: lalalala
girl: ooi.. give me back my ic leh..
boy: *talks about another topic*
girl: ooi! wwhy u want my ic for what? give me back my ic.. give me back my ic lah..*chants "give me back my ic"*
oh my god. i almost wanted to turn around and beg him to give her back her ic so i'd actually have some PEACE!!! for crying out loud, BOY (he's definitely older than i am), give it back! give it back! *growls* and in case u were wondering, he still didnt give her back her ic when i arrived at my stop. wow.
ok, i know i complain alot. but that aside, something amazing happened. me and a classmate whom i always thought was a fierce, not-exactly-social guy who looked like he would beat me up if i stepped on his tail, actually conversed A sentence without him frowning and actually smiling a little. holy. it's history in making. i know it's just one sentence, but... he ACTUALLY DIDNT BEAT ME UP! :o Pen down today's date u guys.
more dreamweaver tmr. *grumbles* i just want it to be 1 pm immediately. i sooo need the "trip"(*winks at anna*) right now. thankfully, Tree Hill's back on tonight.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!
time passes quickly when you're having fun. that is so true.
these days are passing by so slowly (no points for guessing how much fun i'm having :p). i can so fall asleep along this...endless journey.
heard from my friends that there's a new haunted house at Escape. anyone interested? not me. heh. i already said it once. i'm a scaredy cat, and anything involving the mysteries of the beyond and the invisible? not my cup of tea. Books, however, are different. *hums*
9 more days to her wedding (mmm...sheraton. i like)! i just need to make it through 9 more lousy days, oh i meant 8 *winks at anna*, and then...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, let us rise and and welcome...the bride and groom!"
*'American Idiot' plays in the background*
awesome.
totally. :)
wondering what this post has to do with my title? Nothing. i just wanted to capture ur attention ( because i know u can get bored reading my blog). heh. *looks away*
random: everyone loves the pavilion. WHY? oh yeah. it's me. *grins at anna* "DEFEAT AND CONQUER!" (honestly, i just drank coffee. it's the caffeine talking.)

we had inter class captain's ball game on sat. yea, i played. i volunteered. well only because they needed at least 2 females per team and none of the girls wanted to join at first. oh well, one has to start the ball rolling eh? anyway heard that there'd be cca points for that, so i'm not losing out on anything. :)
the captain's ball game really showed the other side of some people. in fact, i think any game like that would. it showed how competitive one could really get, and the crazy side of people i never thought i'd see in them. wow. ugly sportsmanship, good leadership, better bonding, over- competitiveness. all i can say is, "man..u had to be there."
i think that day helped a little. i mean, playing. it's been a while since i last played captain's ball and well, i guess you can say it brought back great memories. memories of secondary school days, where we had loads of fun playing that game NOT BECAUSE OF THE GAME, but because of the people we played with. Funny. because as it brought back old school memories, i swear i saw some of my sec 2 classmates playing soccer in my school. hmm.
back to school again. gah. but i have something to look forward to, so i think i'm gonna be in a pretty good mood as the day approaches. or at least, i hope. :D

Dehydration
with regards to anna's post on wed, 1/6/2005 (go to link above, AGAIN), i'd just like to add on something else that has come to my attention and has terribly annoyed me.
the availibility of seats on the bus.
most singaporeans do this. sitting on the outer part of the seats when the inner part is empty. i dont have a problem with people doing that when there's lots of empty seats around. i mean, i do that sometimes too. But it's different when the bus is really crowded and there are people squeezing and trying to hold on to the bars or handles or whatever they can grab to stay balanced. and these people( meaning people sitting on the outer part when e inner is empty) just pretend to not sense what's going on and look out the window.
now that, pisses me off.
c'mon, it's not as if we have some fatal bacteria that will spread to them the moment there is any contact. there MIGHT NOT even be any. instead of being those selfish, inconsiderate people that they are (or will be the moment i start complaining), why cant they just move in and let someone else sit so that other standing people will have more space?are their butts really that heavy? are they?or do they have something against sitting on the inside because they're like, terribly allergic to inner bus seats and it's some rare disorder even doctors cant explain?
look, i get that sometimes they do that because it's only a few stops to theirs and they want to alight easily. nothing wrong with that. but at least come out a little so other people who WANT to sit can move in and take that place eh? dont pretend not to look at the crowd and look out the window. it doesnt work that way. seriously, havent u got the consideration at all?
on another note, school is killing me. i dont really get the stuffs anymore. like, stop this whole shit. i want nothing. and secondary-school-peer-relationship seems to be occurring. in a.. i really dont wanna talk about it.
one more day to the end of a school week. thank goodness. that is all that i can take..

am in the midst of waiting for my cousin's(the one i worked part-time with) approval for my group to create a website for my unc's company. have a feeling she might not want us to, because she already has someone who's also in the midst of creating one for them.
but she's got nothing to lose, really. cos the website we'll be creating will only be shown on my school's IFC server, which means she doesnt have to show it to anyone else in the ouside world if she dislikes it. n if she does, she can also put it up on the net. plus, it's free. would you want it?
it's kinda pressurizing right now because my friends are putting high hopes on me. they kinda have the concept that since we're cousins, it should be easier and that we wouldnt need to waste time searching for other registered company(deadline's around friday or so). well, it might be a little, but at the end of the day, if she rejects our offer, i cant do anything about it. we cant force her. it's not that she has to. it's the company's choice.
well, i hope she does!
*shrugs*i just hope my friends wont hate me if this doesnt work. heh

My Confessions
Dear Phil,
Ever since you left me, i havent been the same person. We've been together for 7 years or so, and you've never once left my side. You were such a part of my life.
Whenever i was down, you were there to lift my spirits. Whenever i was happy, you were there to make me happier. Whenever i was bored, you were the one who entertained me. We shared so many good times together. You were my heart, my life, my soul. You were the best thing that ever happened to me.
But now that you're gone, things feel different. Everytime i look at the place you used to sit at, i feel empty, like a part of me was missing. It's hard watching you leave, bringing along all the fun times we shared with you. i cant believe i just watched you leave and not say anything to stop that. But i had no choice. It really wasnt easy.
i'm trying to get use to life without you in my room, but it's probably gonna take some time. I miss you badly. Damn. Thanks for the days though, and the nights especially. :) Thanks for keeping me crazy.
Love you always,
Your ex-owner.
Yes, u guys, my tv's gone (to my parents room, for good). *sobs*
ok, just leave the number to the psychiatrist that you want me to see at the comments box.

Slack-Day
today was basically a day to slack, really(yes, u can tell from the title).
1st lesson was Engineering Fundamentals, which was supposed to last for 2 hrs(2 periods). However, according to our lab teacher, we were supposed to go through the lecture for it before he could teach us the lab work but since the lecture was on mon(which was a public holiday), we didnt know anything. thus, instead of ending at 11 am, he let us off at 9.30am. felt freaking good.
we headed as a big group(almost the whole class) towards Mensa during break. it was pretty cool just sitting in a 3/4 empty canteen, drinking iced milo(with friends) and staring at the fountains. but then we realised how boring it would get later in the day.
here's our original timetable for the day:
9-11: EngFund
11-12: Emath Lec
12-1: Break
1-2: PSPS1 (tut)
2-4: IFCPROJ1
our IFCPROJ teacher couldnt make it, thus we all thought we could leave at 2. imagine the happiness. however, in comes our CP who told us that we had to go for a briefing at 4pm, which meant we will have 2 hrs of break in between.
now here's our new timetable for the day:
9-9.30:EngFund
9.30-11: break (because the teacher cant teach)
11-12:EMath lecture
12-1: break. (lunch)
1-2:PSPS1 tutorial.
2-4: break (AGAIN~)
4-?: bullshit briefing(compulsory)
at the second break, the whole group of headed to the library to explore, and yea, our plan was to rent a movie to watch. so we headed to level 6(or 7. i cant recall) and started looking for a movie to watch within that hour. but like i said, there were too many of us and we couldnt all agree on ONE movie.Thus, we ended up not watching any. lol. so we pretty much just sat somewhere and slacked.
now OBVIOUSLY, no one wanted to go to the bull briefing. so here and there some said they werent going, and some said they didnt feel like going. but we couldnt just leave our class rep alone now, could we? and plus, the CP did call me to tell me. i would be in trouble if i didnt show. i didnt know what went on but all of a sudden, we were all going together to look for our CP to question him about it. eventually, our miracle was this sheet of paper. i didnt know what it said but eventually, it wasnt us who needed to go for the briefing. it was the IBT students. well, that's according to what my friends said. so, our already-blur CP got more blur, and went like, "oh..oh.. ok then u guys can leave." smirks' up people! lol.
to be honest, i dont know if it really was for the IBT students or that my friends had very scheming and wonderful brains to overpower our CP's with that "confusing trick" of theirs. oh what the hell? whatever it was, it worked for us anyway. *grins*
on another note, the whole cca thing is driving me crazy. some say cca points will help in the entry of local uni. but ccas arent compulsory. my problem is, i'd prefer to enter overseas' uni but local unis are cheaper. but then having a cca would definitely affect my studies because i know i'm gonna need to spend a lot of time understanding Java. and ccas would be in the evening. however, if i'll ever end up wanting to enter a local uni, i'd lose out because i wouldnt have cca points. plus, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy."... but i really wont have time for it.
hmm.
1st lesson was Engineering Fundamentals, which was supposed to last for 2 hrs(2 periods). However, according to our lab teacher, we were supposed to go through the lecture for it before he could teach us the lab work but since the lecture was on mon(which was a public holiday), we didnt know anything. thus, instead of ending at 11 am, he let us off at 9.30am. felt freaking good.
we headed as a big group(almost the whole class) towards Mensa during break. it was pretty cool just sitting in a 3/4 empty canteen, drinking iced milo(with friends) and staring at the fountains. but then we realised how boring it would get later in the day.
here's our original timetable for the day:
9-11: EngFund
11-12: Emath Lec
12-1: Break
1-2: PSPS1 (tut)
2-4: IFCPROJ1
our IFCPROJ teacher couldnt make it, thus we all thought we could leave at 2. imagine the happiness. however, in comes our CP who told us that we had to go for a briefing at 4pm, which meant we will have 2 hrs of break in between.
now here's our new timetable for the day:
9-9.30:EngFund
9.30-11: break (because the teacher cant teach)
11-12:EMath lecture
12-1: break. (lunch)
1-2:PSPS1 tutorial.
2-4: break (AGAIN~)
4-?: bullshit briefing(compulsory)
at the second break, the whole group of headed to the library to explore, and yea, our plan was to rent a movie to watch. so we headed to level 6(or 7. i cant recall) and started looking for a movie to watch within that hour. but like i said, there were too many of us and we couldnt all agree on ONE movie.Thus, we ended up not watching any. lol. so we pretty much just sat somewhere and slacked.
now OBVIOUSLY, no one wanted to go to the bull briefing. so here and there some said they werent going, and some said they didnt feel like going. but we couldnt just leave our class rep alone now, could we? and plus, the CP did call me to tell me. i would be in trouble if i didnt show. i didnt know what went on but all of a sudden, we were all going together to look for our CP to question him about it. eventually, our miracle was this sheet of paper. i didnt know what it said but eventually, it wasnt us who needed to go for the briefing. it was the IBT students. well, that's according to what my friends said. so, our already-blur CP got more blur, and went like, "oh..oh.. ok then u guys can leave." smirks' up people! lol.

ok it's been a while. here's an update of what's been going on.
Orientation Day 2:
funny. all of us acted like we've known one another for a long time. everyone started chatting TOGETHER and i thought it was nice. we even had lunch together.well, that's because lunch was to be eaten in class. still, we pushed our tables together so that we could all chat while eating. i'm glad that all in all, the class is pretty cool. :) or at least, the claws havent come out yet. but right now, i like these friends.
the day again, was pretty much hot and.. well yea. learning the cheers and stuffs, very secondary school. *yawns* although, i must say that i have very enthusiastic mentors who can sometimes get to you. hmm.
now the night was different. we had inter engineering diplomas competition where each diploma was supposed to send a grp of performers to perform or something. that was kinda boring at first, because people were acting out lame skits and sketches that really bored me. really. especially the over exaggerated acting of some people who wanted to steal the limelight. gee. no offence to them tho'.heh. there was this grp tho, who performed a dance to "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars that freakishly entertained me. props to that.
then came "Scavenger Hunt". *grins* the host started naming out things they wanted and each diploma had to find those stuffs amongst themselves. stuffs like ten 1 cent coins, 1 plastic $10 note, 3 pink shoelaces(and stuffs)..... 8 pairs of trousers/pants and 10 t-shirts. Lol. yes. it didnt take a while before i could see guys topless or in their boxers prancing around the indoor sports hall. uh huh. n there were these two who were left with nothing but their boxers. no shirts, no pants. *laughs* yup, info-comms won the overall games.
Orientation Day 3:
nothing much to say.
Monday (23.5.05):
friends, i finally got to get out of singapore. *nods* yep i did. I GOT OUT OF SINGAPORE!!! dad's idea of going to Malacca for a day trip. we set off around 8.30 am and reached home around 11.15pm. it really was a day-trip. totally made use of the day i'm telling you. totally. i love my dad for having such a great sense of direction! he practically knows most of malaysia at the back of his hands. we went from malacca to muar to batu pahat to JB, bro and i took pictures with a snake (mom REFUSED to let me touch her after that lol), raced with fellow singaporean cars and bought the delicious Portugese Egg Tarts! they're really delicious! mmm yum. i'm drooling already. oh wait, i can just go grab one and eat it right now. awww arent u just so envious? (this doesnt apply to non egg tart eating readers :P) Had the time of my life. the only thing that got on my nerves was the check in area. apparently, my passport photo's a little unrecognisable because e picture was a photo of a 5 yr old girl who happened to not look like me. took us a while to pass through the customs. (in case u're still wondering, that photo was ME..)
Today:
teachers, stop trying to remind us we're in tertiary education now. we know. i'm having really bad post holiday blues. wish i am still having fun in malaysia right now. :(

I DO
*clears throat* ladies and gentlemen, i am officially invited to my cousin's wedding banquet.
my aunt came up yesterday and gave us the cake and the invitation card. *beams* i know it might seem like this is just another wedding banquet, and there's no reason for me to get all excited. but well, it's been years since i last attended one so..it's fun to attend one again.
and now, get ready as i announce the cold, hard, truth about me that might shock everyone out there who knows me. (Viewer Discretion advised.)
another reason why i'm excited about the wedding is because...
I cant wait to dress up.
okok, u're allowed to scream and run around the room in pure madness.
but once you've settled down, believe it. it's true. here's just something i'd like to clarify with everyone. People, i DO WEAR SKIRTS, ok? i might not wear them when i'm out shopping or whatsoever but that's because i just dont think they're very comfortable for doing all that. BUT i DO wear them at special functions. SO please dont make a big HOOHAA when u see me in them. really, what's the big deal?*raises eyebrow* every girl loves to dress up, and that includes me. it's just that sometimes i cant really be bothered so, u see me as who i am. but there are times when i do dress up so stop freaking out!
i'm just not at the making-up stage yet. heh. but when i do(which will probably be years from now *runs away from anna*), dont make a big deal out of it. Your calm composure and non exaggerated reaction is kindly appreciated. :)
random: tmr's my last day of work! muaha.

340 degrees turn
forget about my rantings on thursday. i finally got Lifehouse's cd. :)
well, actually i wanted to get 3 Doors Down's cd yesterday, so met anna after work to go get it. we decided to go sembawang music centre (cos cds there are cheaper) and in the search for Seventeen Days, i saw Lifehouse. i swear it wasnt there on thursday. i'm sure about that. so anna's my lucky star. :)
met some friends i havent seen in quite a long time for dinner. it was pretty nice and all, but i realised we've all grown into different people. and we've all gone down different routes. seeing them in uniforms reminded me that school was gonna start real soon for me and i'm not ready. ok, more like, i dont wanna be ready. 6 months of that made me this way. heh. but that aside, found out that one of my friends is going to be taking air nautical(air force stuffs) in poly and i think that is SO COOL. she's a girl, btw. *smiles*
almost went to watch House Of Wax last night but figured that the movie would end around midnight, and there'll be no transport back home. PLUS, i didnt really feel like watching that movie at night. it'd be disturbing. thankfully, found out from jean just now that it was a sadistic film, and (now if u dont wanna know what happened yet, SCROLL DOWN NOW!) jared padelecki was the first to die! *sobs* and turns out everyone died and became wax figures in the end except for chad michael murray and i think that elisha girl. thank god i havent watched it(even tho i really had the urge to do so). i'm afraid of digusting/disturbing/sadistic/horror movies. but i'm not afraid to admit that.
prisc' birthday today so we went out, did loads of dumb stuffs(including bowling which i tremendously improved since the last time!lol) and took some pathetically weird photos. *laughs* i am such an un-photogenic person. bleagh. Something kinda turned me off though, but i'm not gonna mention it. and the weather sucks big time. i really need to experience one day of winter to let me appreciate this. let it snow, let it snow!
my mom got a mother's day present. it was a classy and trendy dinner purse/bag that suited her. i saw her smirk. she loves it. haha. man, the person who gave her that is so thoughtful and has a good eye for a classy buy.
oh yea, that's me.

#!@%$^&*#
it rained. it rained! i was supposed to feel happy. but the rain seemed to dampen my mood instead. and now, i shall rant about it.
1) the batteries for my reciever ran out on my way back to Tampines. it's quite a long ride, thus i needed my reciever to keep me awake and blast me with music i love. but that damned old thing that i had since p5(the colour's fading away) just had to run out of batteries. on a rainy day. And do not attempt to suggest to me to get an ipod. i cant afford it.
2) i cant get the Lifehouse cd. went to music junction to look for it but they didnt have it (i kinda expected them to). knowing that sembawang music centre wont have it, i still tried. but nope, no Lifehouse. i'm desperate to get a new cd. the last cd i got was Five For Fighting's which i bought like, 2 yrs ago. i want new music! (oh and yes, my discman's spoilt too. everything's old and spoilt. <-just had to add that.) Was considering The Killers,but.. i wanted Lifehouse first(i know, now it sounds like i'm ironic. hah.). the one selling at Borders' was $23.90/28.90 which is just too ex. Tampines should just import more cds! bleagh.
3) Now that i think about it, i should have just gotten 3 Doors Down's Seventeen Days!! totally forgot about it. argh!
4) wanted to make myself feel better by buying mocha frap. but guess what y'all? Starbucks rose the price! dammit! i know i could have gotten something else(heh) but i wanted mocha frap, and when it didnt work my way, it's like, "ah forget it."
HOWEVER, i found something that made me feel better after that. Waffles with cheese. mm..yum. thankfully, it's thursday. which means, sit-by-the-tv-as-they-play-shows-that-you-love-night.i just hope last week's everwood wasnt the last episode( tho i have a feeling it was). *breathes*
yea i know. i'm such a whiner.

last weekend was great. went out with my brother and cousins. it was a great deal of fun.
working for my cousin(another one)? not that fun.not that she's not nice or anything. it's just the job. but it's all fine.
daydreamed the whole afternoon at work. the scene of my father announcing to the family that we're going to New Zealand kept appearing in my head. and my reaction kept appearing too. it went something like this.
*my reaction*:
"WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *picks up phone and dials Anna's number*"
somebody give me the number to a psychiatrist please? thanks alot.
ps: if any of u have a great recipe to a good meal, please email me or let me know about it eh? (i'm planning to whip up a little meal for my momma on sunday.) thanks again.

ah yes. god answered my prayers. i woke up yesterday, and the pain, GONE! and he gave me an extra too. i got out of my room, and VOILA, RAIN! it actually rained!! all that grumpiness just left my body immediately when i saw those lovely drops of water from the sky. mmm..
work was alright. at least i could use the computer.. to um, draw stuffs(i told you there was no internet!) on "Paint". beats doing crossword puzzles that i've been doing for the past few days.hee.
met jean after work to buy stuffs at TM. now read this. she parked her bicycle at the stands in between tampines branch office and the interchange, and i saw her locking it. so an hr later..
me:" so where's your bike?(i didnt recognise her bike among all others)"
jean: " erm, yea. where's my bike?"
her bike got stolen! I cant believe someone could actually cut through the locks and steal a bike in front of so many people in broad daylight. gee. and the police here? not very efficient. took like an hr to get to the the interchange. An hour! unless they came from jurong, an hour is.. way too long. if i got stabbed, i'd have died. sheesh.
anyhow, i think i'm getting too used to life without school. it's gonna be exactly 6 months of break on May 23rd(school opens on 24th) since the 1st day of the hols. which is why while everyone else worked for the past 5 months and are taking their break now for the final month, i'm actually working for the final month. well, it's not that i wanted to, but now that i am, it actually gets me a bit ready for school i guess.for one, the waking up bit. at least i think i can make it to school on time now that i can wake up earlier than 11. heh. i think. the bus i take to work every morning passes Temasek Poly and everyday i'll be counting down to the day where i will actually be getting off at that stop.
time passes so quickly when u're slacking.
