18 February 2011



Today went downhill from 12:05pm onwards. But on the bright side, this weekend will allow me to take a little breather, since CTs are over. But the coming week is going to be one heck of a roller-coaster ride. But more on that later.



Today, after MT remedial, I rushed home, got changed, and went to meet Bridget for lunch. At NP. We went walking around OurSpace, then along the main building, then Makan Place. Mercifully, it was about 4+ by then, so it wasn't so crowded then. We got waffles with icecream (I know, I know), and while queueing we saw Thilagan. (Hello hello!)


And I'm sure it was Haniff at the table a few metres away from us, i mean, you can't miss his incredible cockatoo hair anywhere. Saw Iqbal too.


So Bridge and I were spending up to like an hour and a half talking about stuff, and envying the school maintenance stuff who were speeding down the roads in lorries with furniture...and I must say the view of the school from our table was cool, as in we could see the "layers" of roads.


On a completely random note, Love Song by Rain is playing on shuffle. :)



Bridge and I just enjoyed the frosty weather by walking around NP..until around 5+ we had to bid our good byes, cos she had to meet another group. Much love, babe. :)

I realised I've been listening to the same songs repeatedly. Here goes:

Rocketeer - Far East Movement
Good Day - IU
Nagging - IU ft. Seulong
Love Song - Rain
Ramta Jogi - ARR
Ishq Binaa - ARR
Vennila - ARR
Sorry Sorry Answer - SJ (this dates back to at least a month..love that song)
Romeo & Juliette - SHINee (ditto)
Soul - Heechul (ditto, this was from the Super Show 2 live DVD by the way)
Chobyeol - Heechul (from the Loving You Ten Million Times OST)
Depression of the Direction (it was a Japanese composer, from the Personal Taste OST)
Man In Love - Super Junior


That's FOUR languages...English, Tamil, Hindi and Korean.


And as a sidenote, Zhoumi from Super Junior-M is a really good MC. :)

We received the motion today for our 2nd preliminary round of the national debates. (We won St. Hilda's Sec in the first round). Am having a terrific time, and not in a good sense, preparing for it, because now we all have a taste of what it feels like to prepare for a real debate, but it involves a good deal of research, preparation, confidence, and training your stomach not to fail you in the car on the way to the debate venue.

I could whine, I could cry, saying that no one understands my pain
But it's the truth, that no one understands what you're going through as well as yourself
But the most I can do is to learn from it
Harden my heart
Make sacrifices
I know the ride I'm in for isn't easy
Especially with my lofty ambitions
But I'm doing all that I can
I really need to push on, but I won't say I've not been wavering
I am human after all.
Am trying not to let things affect me
And use the thick hide I've developed over the years
Even if the tears may well up, even if my shoulders may heave in desperation,
Even if the work seems like a tidal wave
I can't give up.
And it isn't me either.

So if you want it to be stronger,
You better not let go,
You better hold on longer
If you want your love to grow
Gotta stick together
Hand in glove


Hang on to your love.



Yes, I listen to music from the 90s. *So what?* Many people do.



Case of the plagues again / But this time I feel quite handicapped.



This week has not been good to me, but I'm swallowing it and just trying to move forward. At least I didn't go to bed sad/worried, because I redid my nails before going to bed.


Yes, I like varnishing my nails. At least I take pride in doing them myself and not going to some salon.



Can't put up the picture for now / there's some glitch.



And on a happier note,


Happy birthday, Choi Minho.

Seeing as my blog has to be urgently resurrected, and that people actually read it (thanks Iffah), here I am using a very handy app called moblog. *beams*









Man do I miss blogging. I think about it and realise that I must have been in such a humongous funk, because I havent been doing much writing, except in school and the occasional planner update (speaking of which, I want to kick myself for not doing that). Not good for me, and it's not characteristic of me either.






As such, I hope I will be able to blog more using this app (and make the most out of my phone screen's real restate which by the way, is 4.3 inches).




#Nowplaying: 'I Look To You' by Miami Horror and Kimbra




So what's been up? Foundation Prog just ended on Thurs, which means the Sec 3s are officially into their second day of Nov/Dec holidays. Not much consolation there, though. (read: holiday assignments)




And for those who know me well...I dont really go out with friends, unless you count after-school lunch and dessert @ Udders. Suprisingly, my holiday schedule is starting to look more like Fran Drescher's during Christmas season; it looks like I will be going out more often. Due to ___ dinners (cant disclose word due to fear of letting the cat out of the bag), birthday dinners, BV's public concert @ SP, camps, a literature outing, *oh my ipod just died on me* council meetings, consultations with teachers, so on and so forth.


But Im looking forward to all of this, because if I spent my holidays at home moping and surfing the net 24/7, needless I would go crazier than I already have.

And I think its no secret that I like kpop, which I previously didnt understand the hype about. But Im someone who (a) is always on the hunt for new music (b) goes for the melody, and the performance's value, so I 'left my prejudices at the table', as I often say. However, I'm curbing my enthusiasm, and Im restricting myself to certain bands/artistes, simply because I like them out of what Ive seen so far.




I guess that's it for today, lest I end up with permanent curvature of the wrists. Love you guys.
