first 2 days of recess

Yes yes! It’s 3.30am! I’ve been doing nonsensical stuff since 12midnight with roomie. Haha. It’s a happy week so far.

Came to hall early afternoon yesterday. Went off the Alexandra for physio. We trotted around and played soccer. Haha. I think I should stick to my ESPN. Can’t kick the ball straight for crying out loud. URGH.

Anyways, headed to Queensway SC. Bought jeans and a pair of shades. Retail therapy. =) Met up with PE, Hoon, Alv and Ber for dinner at Secret Recipes. EH. Or was it Sweet Recipes. Hmmm. Clarification anyone? Haha. Shared cakes and traded chicken. And yes, we’ve finally decided to go Sentosa at the end of this year. After all the merry-go-round discussions we had, Sentosa is the place. Yes yes. Sounds exciting.

Alright, now my roomie’s playing his guitar. Hmmmm. Much to learn from him. MUhahaa. Shall bug him to teach my Classical Gas.

Had a meeting last night. I think it was kinda crap lah. To put it simple: “all say, no action”, or “say only, don’t want to do”, or “bochup” or whatever it is. I’m trying very hard not to judge and be pessimistic here. Trust me, trying VERY hard.

Slept late, woke up early, met up with Neo and headed to the NIE gym. Had breakfast together and we’ve decided to meet up this weekend to ‘dry swim’. One ‘leg’ short though. HMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Started with the lab report at 11am. Did all the way till 7pm. Roomie came back and off we went to shoot some hoops. Came back couple of hours later and finished up the darn report. YES! I’VE FINISHED MY LAB REPORTS FOR THIS SEM!!! Wooooooooooooo hooooooooo! =)

Helped him with some fluid mechanics questions and soon after, the nonsensical activities started. Went Hall 3 and got coke, mixed with his Raspberry Vodka and made ourselves flush. Played the guitar, played cards, did laundry, ate peanut butter with nutella sandwich, chatted online and just wasting time away.

Been doing that since 12. Goodness. It’s 3.38am! Shit. I should go soon. Nights. Frankly, I don’t why I’m blogging here. I don’t know what I’m talking about, and probably can’t remember a thing about blogging when I wake up later. Anyhows, cheers!

PS: I’m not drunk.
PPS: SongYi got a hall! I foresee many supper nights in days to come. And of course hoop shooting. Hoorah.

LYDD, sill having headache?

I think you were too nice. Should have just insisted on not working for that extra day. It was kinda unreasonable, don’t you think? You were too nice to your boss lah.

Why not try being a bit nicer to me?!?
--

Don’t despair. Remember what we heard last Sunday during service? Remember it. Just continue working hard for it. You’ve be fine. You will reap your rewards in time to come.

--

Raspberry Vodka with coke ain’t the best concoction around. But I guess that’s the best we have here.

I shall try and ‘steal’ some space from Joel’s fridge. MUahhaa.

--

Time to brush my teeth and sleep. HEHE.

GOOD MORNING!

Monday, September 24

i should be sleeping...

Think I’ve been eating too much fried chicken this couple of days. Weight is spiking! Not good not good.

Had some chicken mac-nuggets on Thursday night with roomie. Brought some beer back to ‘celebrate’ our probably-flunked tests. Soon after he decided to open up his raspberry Vodka. Had a quarter mug of it. Had the best sleep I’ve had for 2 weeks that night. Ha.

Had Kenny Rogers on Friday. Big plate of Caesars’ and a plate of quarter. Dropped by Weihong’s place at midnight. Zihao and Maurice were there too. Somehow, I’m rather sure that he has torn his ligaments. Everything sounded so similar. Shall wait for his MRI in October.

Went to the gym on Saturday afternoon. Shouldn’t have worn that pair of short shorts. Was a mite too sexy. Oops. Headed down for late lunch at Bugis, and then off to church for the talk on homosexuality. Interesting stuff. Really. Saw some not so nice pictures of HIV patients. Hmmm. There was much to learn.

Headed to Chujie’s and caught a couple of soccer matches. Had a few pieces of LJS’s chicken. Chatted a lot. And kinda concluded that Chelsea’s screwed, and Arsenal might win the league. We shall see.

And so, went for tuition this morning. Was thinking how many times I have taught ‘acid, bases and salt’… cause I’ve come to realize that the textbook is no longer a necessity in teaching it. Maybe I’ve even come to setting questions tougher than those they could find in the TYS. Haha. okok. I’m boasting.

Went for service in the afternoon. Had a special guest today. Haha. Glad that you came. =) And oh, octopus have got TENTACLES alright? =)

Had dinner at home tonight. Fried rice, fried chicken. Oh man. I need burn it off soon.

Alrights… I’m supposed to be sleeping right now. Man Utd have just beaten Chelsea with a pretty 2-0. Newcastle won convincingly against Westham with 3-1. And I caught a little of Constantine on the TV again. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I’m watching it. And yes, I’ve been trying to start on my final lab report for the semester, but to no avail. But I did manage to compute the data and statistics. Guess I’m just left with the research and report compilation. I sense many sleepless nights ahead.

Oh oh! Happy birthday to you! You know who you are. =) Glad that you’ve been ‘missing’ me huh. hahaha. It’s my pleasure. See you soon!

--

Tonnes of stuff going on in my head right now. They go to bed with me each night, and they’re still there each morning when I wake up. My angels and devils. They’re crawling in.

--

Give me a reason to believe. Give me a reason to hope. Tell me that this is what you want too.

Monday, September 17

new week.

Long week. Tutorials, reports, essays.

More coming up this week. Tutorials, reports, essays. AND quizzes. How nice. Thermodynamics and Material structure & mechanical behavior. Ouch.

On a lighter note, I’m really grateful for the hall. An answered prayer. Though for the better or the worst, only God knows.

Oh, roomie’s great though. Think I’ve found a twin brother. Too many similarities – it’s freaky. Trust me. Well, not appearance wise.(he’s a head taller than me.) Haha. Amazing. Scary.

--

Think I’m now a fan of both Beans and Spinelli. Hahha. Starbucks’ still a no-no.

--

Thanks for constantly bugging me to do my essay. Haha. I really was contemplating the idea of paying you to get it done for me. Oops! You switched your job yet?

--

Hmmm. Like I said, “Love is patient, love is kind.” Perhaps it is like you’ve said; only time can tell. But never forget this: you’re given the power to choose. So make use of it. Make a choice. Choose to try; or choose not to.

‘hey there delilah’ is hurting my left index. Think I’m not good at barring the frets. Owells. At least I got to know how to play it. Not well though. But I’m happy.

It’s on that CD you have. But this is from me. =)

Hey there Delilah what’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away but girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true.

Hey there Delilah don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise
I’m by your side.

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah I know time are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote for you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah you be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me.

6 hours till I wake. My peanut butter sandwich awaits! Nites peeps.

Oh, happy bday Enje. May you get sexier this year my dear cousin. Haha.

Saturday, September 8

Past 2 days.

cheers!

Bought two more JP books on Thursday at Borders. Madness. 20% storewide if you’re a teacher or student, and additional 10% for members. Had to patiently queue for the books. 30%. Resisted the temptation to get Mitch Albom’s ‘for one more day’. Kinda hoping someone would get it for me. Haha. Saving up to get my ESV thinline Bible.

Spent the entire Saturday rushing my lab report. Sorry Ber… Hehe. Kept bugging you to teach me how to plot the graphs. Hope I wasn’t disturb you with er-HEM. Haha!

Will be shifting stuff into my room tomorrow. Won’t be staying there for the next 3 weeks though. Gonna stay home till Eric finishes his PSLE. Oh man… how I wish I was still in primary school. Haha!

Just done packing… shall take a shower and hit the sack soon. But am really tempted to see England lose to Israel at midnight. Heh.

--

On a side note, think our church was approached by the Boys Brigade, looking for potential officers. I was asked if I was interested. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

--

Sun and moon and what? Never heard of it before. But I guess it cost you a bomb huh? Haha. Nonetheless, shopping continues tomorrow. Right? heh.

--

Was packing. Thinking of how your nose turned sneezy when you were helping me pack. How everything was so organized. How you made everything felt so right.

--

Me and my ego. Freaking ego.
