Recently so many things have happened to me, my friends, and my friends' friends. XY & SF just to name a couple. Thus I have decided that my blog need more happiness =)
People!! 僵尸3 begins airing every week on chan 8 starting this sunday, 11pm. Do watch k!! Its very nice!!
I rather liked tonight's bridge session... was playing with CH as usual. Maybe the standard of the playing field was less strong tonight, but I really think we did quite well. I suspect we got first despite the fact that we're playing IMPs.
And of course saw her. Its impossible to avoid her, really. The atmosphere was so cold you could boil ice. Not a single word. Doesn't affect me though. A slight mar on an otherwise great session.
Dear monkey is having common test week... Hope it works out great for her. I'm praying too. And I feed her chicken essence every morning. A real nice serenade and a great way to start the day =)
My maths is starting to lose me. I think I'll make a trip down to the library later today after school. Life is starting to get interesting.
Perform your best like u should. And know that I'll be here like I always would. -time traveller
Loads of work undone and still...
This afternoon I PS Shijiang and his spook show... I felt so baddddddddddddddd. And he helped me to solve my physics problem! Which is why... Argh.
And then SF (that's my SP (that stands for Secret Pal lol)) went through a breakup this afternoon. Well, not wanting to be bad, but I suppose its better for her this way, after hearing what he did to her. She used to tell me stuff about him. Some ok, most bad. When I see him on the street... I'll sort him out myself.
And then there's something going on with YH and J... hmmm I wonder who's J...
And then there's monkey...
Too many feelings... And I've been listening to Enya the whole day... Man. I'm really full of feelings and emotions right now...
To shijiang: I'm sorry!
To SF: 加油 k! I'll be behind you! Anything come look for me!
To YH and XY: Hmmm I'm not so bo liao as to go hunting for our mysterious Mr. J. Just work on it k!
To monkey: This is the toughest part you know that? Cause you know and I know you'll be reading it... But still I must say... say what? Am I going to say something you want to hear? No... I'm going to say something from the bottom of my heart. You're a great person. You need to be appreciated, to find someone who appreciates you. You want to give. Unconditionally. But you'd be delighted to receive in return. That takes nothing away from the fact that its been great to have you around. Here's something for you: 因为记忆会消失 但是爱情永远都会留下.
Let him who has done a good deed be silent; let him who has received it tell it. -Seneca
This does not detract from the reality of life...but at least I can rant here =P
If only I had 30 hours a day!! Then I could sleep for another 6 hours. But unfortunately the period of the earth is one day. Unless I'm going to prove E=mc^2 is wrong I might as well live with it.
But hey. You lose some and then you win some.
How's it feel to have a permanent fan of all that you write? Feels great right? Whooo hooO! I must strive hard not to disappoint my fan! (Although most of what I write is just crap and rubbish)
I had a kind of interesting day myself. Woke up in the morning with a stuffed nose and slightly throbbing head AND that darned irritated throat. Well what to do except soldier on? So after a gargle and a couple of paracetamol off to school I go.
Physics was alright. Maths was horrible. As usual. I was nudging the guy beside me going "huh?" all throughout the lecture. WTH. I have to get over this soon. Yes I must. I MUST I MUST!!
That didn't help. Boo hoo...
And April PS me!!!! Wha liew... As if that weren't enough my monkey PS me too!!!!!!!! I knew that I should never have woken up today. (Yeah I know its for a good reason, but still!) At least I still had company of Muslim and gang. And I made 2 new friends. Forgot their names already tho. Must ask next week or else very paiseh. Went home a sad undergrad. SAD.
Still, my day is not over and I am not about to spend the next half of it moping around. Talked to a lot of people. YH, YW, XY, Ken, among others. About physics and bridge. Am this close to being a part-time bridge-cum-physics tutor. Haha. I think I might enjoy it even.
And then at 8pm... I realised that I recovered! Whoo hooo! Must be the get-well cards =) Thanks monkieeeee!
Oh! And then shirlee came and ranted and ranted. So I let her do all that smashing, boxing and smacking until she was finally calm enough to laugh. Haha.
And as for our dear monkey... Hai. Haha. What can I say. Hm. 3Cs. Caring, Concerned, Congenial. Whoa. Amazing person. Where else in the world to find, I ask you?
And finally some time to do some constructive reflection. Conclusion: My life still sucks, but the sucky factor is reducing. I might even say fluctuating.
Love is just a word till someone you meet gives it a meaning.

This is what it means to be sick in the truest sense of the word. When I find the little bugger who did this to me I'll...
Anyway on to brighter things.
Whoa! All the greeting cards and well wishes... I'll get well soon k!! I promise!
But this does not stray from the fact that my condition just got worse. Haiz.
I shall put a temporary halt to working and concentrate on getting well.

I'm really really bushed these few days. I should cut myself some slack. I've now got this really bad throat infection that just seem to come out of nowhere. Man... How am I gonna talk tomorrow and friday????
Not good at all.
Still, at least there's that small little ray of light in my life.
Its good enough.
You dont love a woman because she is beautiful, she is beautiful because you love her.
You really make my day you know? Really...
I don't know how to put this across...
Its been wonderful knowing you.
You're the best thing to have happened to me. Ever. Really.
If only I could stop time at this moment, I would.
Amor Est Vitae Essentia
Remember I said serenity (or Serene as our case may be =Pp) is not something you can wish for? I was right! Its not something you can wish for. Its like fate. You don't find it. It finds you.
Amazing thing, life is. Its been a long time since I've felt this way... too long, in fact.
I'm pen-tied right now. I seldom am. Very few circumstances and/or people are capable of making me so.
Besides rushing to clear tutorials... I also had an invigorating chat. Nope not with april this time. With Serene =Pp. Just a different and wonderful feeling. Something like that late night/early morning That time, but not quite. Its just different. In a good way? Definitely.
We'll see how it goes.
Till then,
TTFN!

Whew. Its been a while since I've done any constructive blogging. Wait a minute, have I ever done any? Heh.
Anyway its the end of the 2nd week of term, and (unsurprisingly) work is piling up. I realise there's much to revise and catch up on.
*lugs out all the thick, dusty textbooks*
Haha. But seriously, although each week seems long, time really flies when you don't know what you're doing. I suppose now would be a good time to stop and take stock. Which would be a wonderful thing given my current circumstances (*hint* deep shit), and not to let it deteriorate (*hint* deeper shit). Looks like I better extricate myself before it gets any worse! Heh.
Besides work of course I still have bridge to think about. I realise my standard is now less than 10% of what it used to be in early July. Which says a lot. And shows a lot too. But I must not...
Oh well back to work! Lots of work ahead and still no redemption in sight...
The only place where success comes before work is the dictionary.
At 1100 in the morning, I'm on the train on the way to school. Got a seat this time round, but the pain is just so bad that I can't get to sleep. I wonder what's come over me. I still have lots else to think about without worrying about that...
*Whoosh*
*And we are immediately transported to 1225 into my lecture*
This guy is weird. He started off boring, but its starting to get slightly more interesting. This, however, is positively wrong. What in the world did I get myself into this time? This is all so wrong.
*A few minutes later...*
Lost already. This is very sucky.
Well it seems we got started off on the wrong foot in the first place. Hi, I'm a time traveller. Boo! Yeah right. Lost and seriously lost.
*Half an hour after that...*
Well this might not be so bad after all.
BUT, I still have zero idea what he's talking about. I can see this is going to be painful. WTH.

Right at 0630 in the morning...
This is wrong. This is so wrong. Nobody ever gets up so early if they can help it, especially me. Those who do achieve it by fluke or by getting lucky.
However, "To boldly go where no man has gone before" has inspired me. I'll remember that for life.
1430
My first day in school's over, and somewhere in between I met my buddy of all people! At her supposedly favourite snoozing bench some more. I was kinda napping when I caught the back of someone looking very familiar. However I closed my eyes as she turned around, and didn't think too much of it until my buddy called moments later.
"Are you in school now?"
"Yeah," I answered sleepily.
"Within the faculty?"
"Um hmm."
"Are you wearing blue?"
"Yeah!"
"Okies I'm walking back now."
What a way to start the day. Heh. We had a nice talk and then went for our separate lectures, which, as it turned out, were in LTs just facing each other within the same building (LTs 24 & 25). She had a lunch date with her boyfriend and another mutual friend of ours, but I was already on the bus home when she asked. Oh well, there's always next week I guess.
Also saw Kian Wei and Muslim during the physics lecture, but might I add that i am rather determined to be a loner. It may not be right and I might decide otherwise, but for now that's my MO unless someone can convince me otherwise.
And on the last leg of the journey home, ie the last 5 mins to my doorstep I met none other than dear mum. Life is just full of surprises. Well I was thoroughly tired when I got back home, but still saw no harm in trying for a 6th mod...
...And I got it. A math module. Not the 1505 one, but a linear algebra one. Which conveniently eats into my rest day, and all thoughts of having relaxing wednesdays off have just evaporated into thin air.
Well at least now I can plan my tutorials on wednesday afternoon without any qualms. And without any squirming and being squeamish in general.
And after hearing what buddy had to say about having more people equates to better grades, I realised I am better off doing it now than in semester 2.
Which brings me back to my point that one module done now is one less to worry about next time.
Well, life IS a trade-off after all. You can't have everything, no matter how much you try.

The day before school officially starts. A little apprehension is to be expected, but I am supposed to be looking forward to it. It'll be like the big unknown all over again. I am, as usual, leaving much to chance; and my fate. I take comfort that I won't be the only one. It is sometimes said of those who do potentially dangerous things that they leave very little to chance, preferring to eliminate it altogether. Little can be gained from not learning from them and following them. But still somehow, I find solace within the fact that it is refreshing to be different.

Hey! I finally realised how come there aren't any vacancies on the 1505 math mod. Its cause of all the maths and engineering students!! Urgh. Trust them to disrupt my well-laid plans. Hope for the best now. Bleaghrx. =PpP

Imagine the horror on my face when the sudden realisation of the truth hit me that I wouldn't be able to take 2 supposedly highly recommended math modules this term. Well I suppose being other people's core mod and all... Still I cherish the hope that I'll be able to do them next semester =P Else I'd be quite stuck with nothing else to do.
Finally I finished reading HP & the HBP this morning. The conclusion certainly was worth the read, but it still came as a real stunner to me. I can't imagine how JK Rowling will resolve the many many issues in her (presumably) final and seventh HP book. Still, the series so far has been very entertaining and most likely so will the movies =) Cheers.

The morning dawned bright and clear. Thrushes were singing in the trees, cars were whizzing past on the road, and the deep-throated hum of machinery could be heard clearly where construction workers were starting their day's work. Meanwhile, in a high-rise flat overlooking the road where cars were whizzing by and machinery were humming, the time traveller was soundly asleep. At exactly 9:45 am, the alarm went off in the time traveller's bedroom, and he grudgingly got up and stretched, reminding himself that he had wanted to wake early. Glancing out his bedroom window, he saw the light blue cloudless sky, promised himself that it would be a good day, then set about busying himself with breakfast. All in all the signs of a good day were there.
Then, at a quarter past eleven, something caught the time traveller's eye. Huge cumulonimbus clouds were towering in the distance, and were slowly blanketing out the once light blue sky. The sky looked very strange - blue on one side and black on the other. The time traveller, however, had seen many of this kind of phenomena and was not surprised. He was only hoping that it wouldn't rain before he stepped outside for his lunch appointment and errand. He was, however, quite wrong. Within minutes, strong and gusty winds were howling, and flashes of lightning could be distinctly seen over the horizon, followed by deep peals of thunder, and the time traveller knew he was dead wrong. Moments later, the completely dark skies glared back at him defiantly, as if daring him to challenge the weather. The time traveller, however, was not to be intimidated, and took the first brave step out of the house...
