It's MY story, and it's nothing like yours.

i blogged so much about today.
and it died on me.
so now i'm left entry-less for today.
except for what i'm typing now.

'snore snore'. & some other freaky stuff....

heyo! back home. =D
maec was such a 'snore-snore' lesson. good thing i managed to keep myself awake. somehow his small mic's placed in this conspicuous part on his shirt, which makes him sound soft when he looks up and speaks to the class, and super loud when he looks down to write...

anw, so much for a full maec day~~~
when i alighted from the bus earlier on, this student came up and asked for my help or sth. i tell you, i was momentarily freaked out. truth be told, i was freaked coz' he sounded and looked kinda freakish, and i was just startled when he suddenly popped out from behind. i mumbled a quick, inaudible word of apology and starting taking bigger strides...
turned a little to see if he was still behind, and nearly tried to do leaps when i saw him from the corner of my eye. good thing we parted ways soon after. but somehow, i feel kinda bad~ what if he just wanted to ask for directions or sth?... haha... well.......uh, too BAD he asked ME... =x

and someone acted damn weird at the library today la... shocking and hilarious.

tmr's the act. i hope we can get it together tmr. *prays hard*
but i think i will be able to sleep tonight... haha...not like someone else....
can't wait to watch the dancing scene. LOL.

hi hi, first up, i wanna say "STEPHANIE!!! YOU LOOK GREAT IN A DRESS!!!!" (i know you'll be reading this sooner or later, so don't shy away ;D )

alrights... so today at the bus-stop, this woman was cutting her nails, in public... *frowns* I really wouldn't like those nails flying all over, if you don't mind..
which brings me to something else. a few days ago, on my way home, i saw these 2 elderlyS board the bus and proceeded to the upper deck... how often do you seem ppl over probably 70 years of age climb that stairs? haha~ ok...seems a lil too exaggerated here, but really...
haha

so today, we had another lecturer for FFA... who seems kinda nice...
and BCA was ok today, at least she seemed kinda pleased with what we've done. THANKS TO sher, by, and MOST OF ALL, SJ! that girl's....let's just say that while we're slacking away, she'll be busy with work. now, if only she could pass some of that drive to me.... <:<

anw, uh, i'll be looking forward to post-LMS. haha. till then~

it's all about letting go...
picking up the pieces, taking a bigger stride forward......

and be liberated....

I was nearly late for school today. would usually set aside one and a half hours for the bus journey, but somehow, went out late and ended up waiting at the bus-stop at 10+ when lecture starts at 11. I could have reached school earlier, if it weren't for the fact that not a single bus came into sight while 5 other 74s whizzed past the bus-stop opposite the one where I was waiting at. You know like how when you see a 74 pulls into the bus-stop opposite, and you think that another 74 will come along soon enough. And THIS bus I was on today cranked up too. The door just refused to close la. At every stop after someone alights, the door refused to close. Had to spend a few seconds each time getting it to shut. Today was weird la...
It was drizzling. Finally this single-deck, air-conditioned bus came along, and I managed to get a seat near the window. But it was so stuffy! God.
So upon reaching school, walked hurriedly all the way to Lt 45 where the yellow submarine is (cuz if my frens don't describe it to me, i won't know where the Lt is). Was kinda breathless and slightly soaked in perspiration when I stepped into the Lt! sulked a little and was feeling less than happy la...
Ok... but Mr Pang's (or isit Pan?) lecture kinda made things better. Somehow, he's such an obliging man, it makes you think, JUST WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM????
Would you actually go near a kid, who's about to be spanked by his mum, just to provide him a certain kind of assurance?
"It's like telling the kid, 'Kid, I'm here with you...' " [or something along that line, can't really recall word for word la]
o_0"
and all that talk about giving money to people who asks for help... sure, i mean, if it's within your means to lend a helping hand...but seriously, it's kinda tough to just hand out notes everytime someone asks for help right?...
the guys seating in front of us joked, "Let's tell him we don't have money for lunch la..."
uh.....
and he can never remember where we live, despite us telling him during the very first tutorial and him making a note of it. And every tutorial, he calls Vicki by his surname.... instead of VICKI.
and the class just sniggers each time Vicki goes, "It's VICKI sir, VICKI..."
oh, and he never fails to mention that student he sponsered. Gosh...
and we copied like 3 pages worth of ans la. now I think my right hand's ALOT bigger than my left, though it was already bigger than the left to start with. and it came to a point where my right hand was shivering and i just copied at a startling speed. IT WAS AS IF I LOST CONTROL OF MY RIGHT HAND.
That char kway teow at canteen 3 seems kinda nice. But couldn't have it for lunch today, because I had it for dinner for 2 nights consecutively....and char kway teow is so unhealthy!
Hokkien Mee was nice, though we had to wait for quite a while.
And we were created a din at the library again. Sher (the mushroom spirit) just can't stop her 'juice-ing', and now Lain's become a BRO-ccoli and SJ, a juice-cum-cauliflower.
DOTS....
wasn't that lucky today, and met the librarian who was doing her rounds with her bag. Wonder if she's going home after 'patrolling'..
expectedly, she 'shhh-ed' us and we quietened down a bit. a while later, it got kinda noisy again, and this time, a fellow schoolmate at the other table started 'shh-ing' too...
=x
so sorry....
there won't be any peace with Sher around. Especially with her mushroom spirit, which hasn't float away cuz she says 'there's no wind'...
Ok, even without the mushroom spirit, she'll still be that abnormal.
SHERLIN IS NEVER NORMAL.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT.
EVEN IF SHE CLAIMS SHE IS NORMAL, DON'T BELIEVE HER.

i'm home!~
let off early today for WCOM. that guy got picked on again.... wonder if this repeats next week...
anyway, this 74 that we were boarded on our way home was weird. if it wasn't in broad daylight with many passengers on board (as usual!), I would have thought that 'something dirty' was on board too...
the whole bus was just friggin' weird.
barely a bus-stop's drive away from school, the engine of the bus sorta died. bus uncle had to fire it up twice before the engine started running again. there was peace for a few stops. and then it kinda died again all of a sudden. fortunately, nothing happened for the rest of the journey. BUT, 2 stops away from mine, the bus started cranking up again.
someone pressed the bell, and the bell just wouldn't stop ringing. that irritating bell sound went on consecutively for 17 times (yes, i counted...) and eventually stopped when some other person pressed the bell again to alight at the next stop.

oh ya. and i finally completed SAM. in the library. i think we were kinda noisy, laughing and all. Luckily the librarian wasn't doing her rounds.

and today's sweltering hot....
it's the first day in the week that's not raining, did you notice that?
the sun was shining right at my doorstep when i got home, and i could feel my skin burning. frantically whipped my keys from my bag and struggled with the key and the keyhole and hurried in once the door opened..
haha.

P/S(s):
Sher-I have a name...and it's not NC-17. Besides, you're also not 18 yet, hence, you shouldn't be watching a M-18 show either!
SJ-Those pics showing kids donned in the bride-and-groom attire weren't for whatever you thought it was. It's just cute ok?
Stephie-sorry for being a little not quite right up there today. Lol....
BY-Good luck for the quiz! and don't get so stressed up over sch! haha.. oh, and just do stephie and SJ the favour of calling me by my name, uh, the normal one and not the jap one ;)
Lainee`-something wasn't quite right... cheer up! smilex!!!

I wrote an ultra-long 'confession' for IAC today...
practically spilled the beans on almost everything.
the lesson allowed us time to reflect, to explore what kind of personalities each of us are, BASIC personalities...
it is really fascinating.
The mini-test that we did was only a summarised one consisting of 4 questions. There is, in fact, a more detailed version of that test, but I have absolutely no idea where to dig that quiz from...
Anyway, if interested, please click on link: PersonalityType.com.

I had a very bad time coping with CIP last semester. History seems to be repeating itself with BCA this semester. How can someone be such an IT idiot?! SAM'S stupid.
SAM is not a person la. It's a programme...
okok. it's not stupid. (just in case the company or sth press charges against me). now, i end up having to redo the whole exercise la. it practically died on me. geez. how nice.

upset.
why?...












*shrugs*
matterS... i can't even put my finger to anything in particular.
i can get so vexed and frustrated and grumpy at times.
why do i feel that i've been playing hide-and-seek of the late?...
so much to face, issues to be brought up, things to be done...
yet, all i do is to HIDE.
as if hiding from it will make it go away...


ya, right...

flooded.
by proj. stuff. and saliva.
SOS.

the rehearsal for the skit drove me nuts, and got caught in laughing fits. thoroughly embarrassed. which brings me to the piano rehearsal at 'my inspiration school' yesterday, where i almost DIED from laughing and even had to stopped halfway through the piece to cool down. arghz.
was let off late today, came home and was sapped of whatever brain juices left in my already-empty coconut. sat and practised piano for an hour plus, nearing two. my semiquavers are all over, and i can't memorise Ivette.
how how how????

really beat. this sem's a mental one~
bless us all...

anyone cares enough to tell me what the audioblog was trying to put across? hell, i can't even hear them, much less get their drift... and the 'click here for BIGGER version' link fails everytime.
0_0???
now what? play guessing games?...
wasted the whole day doing nought and watching drumline, AGAIN.
i just love that show to bits. i don't think i'll ever tire from watching it.
it's inspiring, happening, and i just gawk in awe each time they do those 'CHEEM CHEEM' rudiments and stick twirling and stuff which i don't think i'm ever going to master.
still, i'd like to think that i'd be able to. just someday...
IF possible, i'd like to take the perc exam for drumset, sometime...
got kind of hung onto that idea when damien made a passing suggestion, prolly bout 2/3 months ago when i was at the studio helping with the accompaniment for others' practical exams.
crazy, but surely worth considering.
i imagine how i'd fumble with sight-reading for the set-score, look super lost while playing, hitting on rims instead of the drum itself, etc....
i sure don't have that knack for the set.
ah~ whatever. most end up being empty talk. *raise eyebrows/rolls eyes*
the urge to do whatever you see.
ever wanted to:
1.dance when you watched [shall we dance?]
2.fly THAT plane and wondered how it'd be like to be in the sky?
3.dance tap-dance after watching Michael Flatley?
4.play any strings after listening to BOND?
5.go join those ppl in [AMAZING RACE]?
6.bungee jump/ sky-dive?

crazy ppl have crazy ideas. i guess i'm really nutty.

FINALLY! HERE COMES THE WEEKEND! =D

school is really driving me nuts.
friggin' tired. and cold.
can't wait for X'mas.

the bus was relatively empty, and only one other girl alighted at the np stop. weird. along the pavements (which lead to school), there was no one else. it felt kinda deserted for a while. before i set foot into the canteen.

the bmgt lect was a boring one. cuz we practically gave up trying to pay attention as she rushed through the lecture and spent the rest of the lecture explaining the proj.
bca lect was one of the worst, to date. i've never, in my short time spent at np, seen a lecture in which the lecturer held no reign at all over the class. i don't really know if it's a 'cannot control' or 'don't bother to control'...but in any case, the lecture theatre seemed like a market for a while.
and the bmgt tutor just loves repeating his '22-pointer' story. god. I JUST SWITCHED OFF.
seriously, what's the use of the lect summary if all we're gonna do is to copy it off the notes?... <:s

Chishiho came to class today with a nasty sore throat. so, she lugged along this amplifier and her small mike. attendance was quite bad too and we had a student from the wed class joining us.
midway through lesson, we had this mini review where we were given slips of paper, with instructions written in eng. apparently, each would either get the answers or questions part and we are required to find our partners (i.e. the one with the qn to find the partner who would give them the correct ans to their qn)
i think i was the last to figure out who my partner was. kinda dumb.
and embarrassing.

had KFC for dinner, and i'm feeling kinda bloated.
it's nice to have KFC once in a while. FINGER LICKIN' GOOD!

(sher) please don't try to do anything to your face. i don't think i want another dawn for a friend. haha. and it is finally your turn to blend. i seriously doubt you'll want to wear his shirt.
(lain) you haven't share your way of suicide! lol. i hope it's less painful-cum-hilarious than sher's way of dousing herself with kerosene and blowing herself up. oh ya. and why isit always such a coincidence nowadays that we'll spot you on the bus, with him? hee... no malice intended, and surely unplanned. =)
(by) you looked kinda stressed. you're scaring me out. haha... chill k?
(shujuan) i'm still in shock for getting that role. dammit. haha. god. i hope i don't screw it up.
(stephie) thank you for taking the role of the leader for wcom! huggies. i know i get kinda lame at times. it's funny to see you sporting that half-frown-half-laugh expression. =)
(stephanie) i'm so sorry about alumni. would love to play with xmsb perc again. but i'll try to make myself available for the ensemble. if there's one to start with in the first place. haha. meanwhile, good luck for your upcoming exams.

it poured so heavily this morning. interesting to see white-collared workers board the bus with their wet brollies in hand, and actually letting it drip throughout the whole journey. needless to say, the floors got wet. the bus went quite fast for a rainy day, but i still reached school later than usual, cuz i left the house late too.
haha.
ok.
school was alright. except at the last hour. =s the girls will know. i think.
so many proj on hand. latest emails i got came with the heading "re: (enter project name)"
you know how that feels?! terrible. ='(
and i'm really sleepy, like everyday, even though i don't sleep at night.
so can anyone tell me why i'm feeling this way? i'm really baffled.
oh wells, can't cont. gotta go for piano. then study jap for the quiz tmr.T_T

I pray everyday before heading for school- so how in the world did I get that role of the mother?!
*growls at Xhi Ween* coz' 'smart-guy' was the one who handed us the individual slips of paper on which the characters were written. we were supposed to VOTE "yup~ many thanks!" haha....

Let's move on to better stuff...
came back to find 'cookies' on the table. they were extra-large, and didn't taste quite like the normal cookies cuz' it was kind of soft. uh, as if they were not baked long enough or something...
then went out to the doc, where we waited for like three-quarters of an hour before consulting the doc for like only one-twelfth of an hour. Nice~ (please don't ask me why we went to see the doc, but I wasn't sick. =)
managed to reach home before it started raining buckets. loud thunders that cracked real loudly, and bright streaks of lightning! Scary!

Right. Then for dinner, we had something like a western cuisine. And I call it a 'western cuisine' cuz' we had on the table:
-Lamb chop
-Chicken chop
-Pork chop
-Spaghetti
-Fries
-Seafood chowder

*GRINS*
Hey, you all out there jealous?! :hee:

chef for the night, was none other than Dad himself.
I had no idea my brothers like lamb chop; one likes it for the 'herbal taste', while the other, uh, just likes it.

And before going back after dinner, I saw a stack of books that my mum cleared out from the shelves. Amongst them I saw these 2 storybooks (Tales of Wizards and Witches by no-named author, Omnibus by Enid Blyton)
I refused to gave them away and re-collected it back, (if there's even such a word as RE-COLLECTED).
These 2 books were bought from Melbourne, donkey years ago. But they mean so much to me. Brings back such fond memories of that trip, how can they just give it away?! Haha.
I wish I weren't such a sentimental freak at times, but really, I just can't bear to dispose of stuff.
Hence, the loads of karang-guni stuff I have at home.
So what if it's collecting dust at home? I'll just brush the dust off it! =D

The Goblet of Fire is finally going on tmr!!! But when will I be able to watch it?! *sighs*

drained. mentally.

been coming home all lethargic of the late. don't feel like doing anything, yet feel guilty. is there anything that can perk me up at all?!
piano tmr has been cancelled coz' i've got sth else on. i hope i get the thurs slot instead, at least i get to prac a lil more before inspiration sch. jitters.
totally dread LMS tmr. and the week after, or the week after THAT week after.
is there SPU this week?.... i haven't started on any other pieces other than the one we worked on during the last prac.
and i haven't studied for jap.
nor have i finished the flyer.bio.fin'cial stuff.

Where's the monster when you need them?

updates.

Friday was quite an enjoyable day. Mr Pang appears to be quite a friendly tutor. Told us some stuff about friends, which, sad to say, I can relate to. As we started getting restless, Sherlin started this whole saga of me blending into the wall or something... but I think blending into the wall is safer than blending onto the road right??? =) You gotta risk having a car drive over you...
Went for alumni at night, and managed some last-minute practice for Ceremonium. and my roll really SUCKS. I mean, the drum roll. not the roll-on-the-floor kind of roll. Duh~ as if I haven't had enough of, 'You roll on the floor? *gasp*' kind of answers....
Get a grip people, how many others do you know that actually DO roll on the floor?!

Woke up kinda early yesterday, cuz I was worried for SPU practice (yes, I know it's only a PRACTICE, but still...) in the afternoon. Rushed through lunch in 10 min, and Pop kindly drove me to Hg interchange. At the lights, I saw 5 ex-classmates who walked right infront of the car. By 'I saw', I literally meant that, cuz none of them noticed me. haha...
Steph and I were late, but we were still earlier than Damien who was at a meeting. That gave us time to do some self-practise, and eventually, Melodie decided that we ought to start proper. Few minutes into our auto-pilot mode prac, Damien arrived and took the hot seat. Fumbled with the rhythm here and there, thankfully no major breakdown, or was there?~



OK. correction. Think there was.... this particular bar of seven-eighths which I couldn't really grasp. Gotta work on that.
After Ceremonium, Yiang Shan and I left cuz we had no parts for Overture for Percussion Ensemble. And we talked about XMSB percussion, and the upcoming 3-day concert for next year. It is really kind of weird how this combined-asthetics concert is organised, cuz... for one, wouldn't the turnout for the first 2 days of the concert be lesser than that of the third's...since one would be paying the same amount for each, though you only get to watch the real COMBINED efforts all on the third day? I know nought about the details, but I'm not keen on this combined concert at all.
Anw, I was out for dinner at J8 with my family, and Shu Hui kept dropping her chopsticks. Jokingly told her that there'd be a third time, since things that happen twice repetetively NORMALLY happens a third time, or so I thought. During dessert, however, I think I helped her avert that last time when I knocked over a cup of tea. Down poured the contents from the teacup onto my jeans and shirt. I must have looked quite a sight when I left the restaurant. Was fairly irritated and contemplated buying a new set of clothes so that I do not have to shop in embarrassment. Thank god everything dried up quickly enough, and I was spared from getting the shivers cuz my wet jeans felt cold after the spill...
The sisters followed us back and stayed for the night. Was too tired to do any work upon reaching home. Cut some cake for supper, which Jia Hui initially refused cuz she said it was unhealthy to eat so late at night. LoL. Channel-surfed and watched Hellboy, and some other unknown movie on Disney channel. Got us glued to the box till half-past 12 before we retired for the night. A sister each on both sides of my bed. Light sleepers both of them....
Glad to have them for the night.
We'll have them over again. someday soon I hope. Haha.
But for now, I think I gotta return to work.
It's a long update I've done.

don't even bother reading this. it's DUMB.

"Lazy couch potato reporting...."

Lazy potato, YZ, has been found guilty of sitting in front of the black box, doing nothing, except eating char kway teow with her eyes glued to the screen. After eating char kway teow, she indulged in a packet of Jack and Jills' potato chips. After 4 hours of tv, she proceeded to coming online to while away time. EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO. Somehow, she chose to not care about it, at least for today.

But now as she's typing this, which sounds downright stupid by the way, she starts feeling extremely displeased with herself. And it's bugging her so much that she's gonna get offline immediately after this stupid report.

Ya. So why have you still read thus far?...













Didn't I tell you it's DUMB?!
*shakes head?*

The IAC tutor's a nice lady, someone one would probably respect. I just love her enuciation and pronounciation of words. She's humourous as well, and I think it's a pity we'll only be seeing her on alternate weeks, and according to her, 5 weeks in total before the end of half-term.
I'd rather have her over the other IS module tutor, anytime.

We managed to produce a script to prove the whoever wrong. That is if she remembered that we were the group who hadn't had the slightest idea what to write about in the first place. Things are looking up and we had a ball of a time deciding what to use for props. Crazy ideas, but certainly creative.

Frankly, I'm also looking forward to getting busy for the IAC project, cuz' it's one of the more interesting ones. And I'd love to see that typewritten report completed. =)
Someone was talking about picking up an instrument and attending vocal lessons. Got me real interested. But I guess I'll have to keep things the way they are for a while, and try to settle into the new semester as quickly as possible.

Japanese enrichment lessons have taken on a faster pace now, and I'm a lil' freaked. There standing before us is this Japanese lady who's blabbering a mix of English and Japanese, and I'm really having some problems deciphering the two. I must go through the first book sometime.... MUST MUST MUST.

Tutorials-wise, I guess it's pretty ok. I try to complete them as fast as possible, cuz this semester, with the concerts and stuff and additional outside-school-activities I've taken up, I gotta try to practise some restraint, and better my time-management. (which is horrible to start with actually)

I'm looking forward to the weekends. =D
Cuz I'm tired.

Dear bus driver,
It took me so long to get home today while you were at the wheel. While others zoomed ahead, you crawled slowly behind. I do know that safety comes first, but I'm quite sure we won't bang into any other vehicles at that speed you were going....
Besides, unlike other times when other buses I took (prior to yours) stopped at almost every stop for passengers to alight and board, you didn't had to. And let's not start counting the number of lights you COULD HAVE got through before it turned red.
Lucky thing it didn't start to rain. SJ reckoned that at that speed we were going, we'd probably not be able to reach home. Fortunately, we still did in the end whilst you managed to obediently adhere to the word 'SLOW' on the roads.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today we had MAEC for the whole day. Our tutor's interesting...and nice. She likes to use the phrase, "Are you happy?". The lecturer, on the other hand, likes to ask, "Are you with me?"
To the former, I'd like to say, "I think I am, at least for today." and to the latter, "Yes, of course we're all with you, in the lecture theatre. If not, where else would we hear that from?
Besides, all those present are with you, as in physically, but I'm not quite sure about the mentally part cuz we're really tired...."

Good day.

It was a bad start today. I was out late (as I usually am) and saw that 165 drive off right infront of me... and upon reaching AMK, alighted and waited for Baoyi, who was even later than me. 845am was obviously too late, and we all attempted to board the already-packed bus. Poor Baoyi couldn't even set foot on the first step up, hence Lain and I went ahead without her first. Turned out that no one was early and there was this long queue outside Vins, and we were forced to go for the FFA lecture without notes. Lucky thing we were late for not more than 15 minutes, as the system would have rendered us absent even if we were physically there.
BCA was alright, except for the fact that we were given another PBL project to rack our brains over. But the workload's kinda terrible, and it's all due on (GLUPS!) thursday!!! OOMMGGG...
Wednesday will be one hectic and hellish day.
I've got IS in the morning till 12. And then it's off to AMK. Home. and to school again?! ARHGZ. I haven't do the jap hw nor have i learnt the katakana quiz stuff. damnit.

i hope the weekend comes soon enough... c_c"

I can't understand why I'm feeling so sick all of a sudden... First came that bout of flu, and then the sore throat and sucky feeling. It's making me feel kind of weak.
So, why am I still here? Yeah~ try telling me that.
It's the invasion of those horrible projects again! Help.
Despite all that yucky nose-drip, I've managed to complete the script! Hooray!!!! I hope it's ok, then the past 1 hour plus I've spent on it would have been well-utilised. Besides, I've also completed the WCOM essay, for which I've exceeded by about 50 words or so.
YES!
So tmr, I've gotta go down to punggol for the ticket stuff that we'll be doing. (piano) In the evening.
I went for my first SPU 'prac' (in inverted commas coz it was more of a meeting). Parts for the various concert pieces have been given. Some, like me, squirmed at first glance of all the running notes and 3-stick stuff...while others heaved sighs of relief. LoL.
I'm excited at the prospect of the upcoming concert, cuz it'd be a first. Yet, everything about what I'm doing now is starting to drive me nuts.
THIS IS A CRAZY SEMESTER I'M GOING THROUGH.

Well then, there'll be more updates about this CRAZY semester as yet.
NOW, I think I need a panadol and sleep.
Night. *sniffs*




oh ya. before i go, i'm so sorry Baoyi, for passing the flu bug to you. hope you're feeling better than what i'm feeling now.
and to stephie, i hope you havent caught it too. i was so afraid and kinda guilty when you started sniffing too during wcom.

overwhelmed

Barely a week into the new semester, and we've gotten ourselves 3 projects? Or is it 2? So much for gifts to usher us back into school term...

Went for Japanese Basic B today. My tutor's this funny Japanese, whose eng I don't really understand. Seiko was clearer. But oh wells, she ain't that far off.
Made 2 new friends.

Runny nose. Felt kinda terrible.
Anyway, my jap's in a mess now. Damnit.

Lazy to blog any further. Ta-ta

The computer, or rather, the internet, is an eevviill thang. Coz I find myself coming online for hours at end, and logging off realising that I haven't managed to do anything productive for the past few hours.

detest that thoroughly.

I killed this humongous cockroach a few nights ago. Can't believe my luck, I'm the only one at home who've seen lizards (two) and that cockroach in my now-not-so-new house. It's only been a year plus since we moved, from the fourth level of this same block, to the tenth.

Back at my old house, I've seen lizard droppings all over my bedroom (ok, make that a study room coz' I rarely sleep in that room actually). And it irks me each time I've gotta use a tissue to wipe it off and water to get rid of that stain. Yucks!
And big mommy decided that it wasn't enough leaving those behind, they decided to set up a small family (IN MY ROOM), and soon enough, I saw their second gift- BABY LIZARDS. (Is there a particular term for that? Like puppies for 'baby dogs'?...)
Cute would be too good a description for them (though I might like to take that into consideration on account of their smaller mass-es), but they have such an ugly darker-than-grey-but-not-black colour. They run a hell lot faster than their mummy, and it's just so yucky. I actually did manage to bat a bigger one, and that darn tail was moving even after it's been separated from the body. God. I wish there was a better invention than insecticide. Insecticide only works for ants, in my humble opinion. It serves NO PURPOSE at all with lizards and cockroaches, in my house that is. They scramble away so much faster than the insecticide pray coming out from that nozzle.
And the worst? After failing to stop the pest in its track, you leave behind a trail of slippery and stinky liquid. I bet the insect must be sniggering away when it watches you slip and sit on the floor.

So much for the uselessness of the insecticide.
Back to the cockroach I got rid of, (without the help of insecticide).
For a few minutes, we both engaged in a game of hide-and-seek. I almost broke a bottle of salt and sugar in the midst of the game. It ran all over the kitchen top. Stoves...basin, and finally on the floor. And so I threw on it the slipper I had been holding onto the whole time I watched it run. Squashed flat. LOL.
And then the feelers wouldn't stop moving. Ugh. So I slipped my foot into the slipper and stepped on it, cuz it refused to die though it's body's been flattened. I know it sounds kinda sadistic and morbid, the way I killed that cockroach, but you should bare in mind the fact that it was a larger-than-the-average-cockroach-at-your-house.
But, in a word of fairness, I must say, it put up a great fight. Took me 2-3 minutes of stepping before that feelers stopped twitching.

So much for that cockroach versus me duel.

LMS. skit. flowers. my memory. 0_o"

I tend to remember things that have been mentioned a long time ago. With that, I mean I'm not really able to recall what you just told me seconds ago. Weird huh?...
Is that coined 'short term memory'... or is it 'long term memory'...? Can never ever get that right, and don't bother telling me, cuz I probably wouldn't even remember too. =s

Currently, for this new semester, we have two new IS modules (namely LIFE MANAGEMENT SKILLS and IAC) forgot what IAC stands for, but no matter, coz that isn't important, at least not for this entry.

My point is, for LMS, we have to do a skit! I just hate acting in front of the class. When was the last time I participated in a skit?.... Hm... Think it was during orientation during the first quarter of this year. I remember having to act as this 'swan' who stupidly pasted 'feathers' on its 'featherless wings'...using glue! [p/s: everything was done without actual props. we kind of mimed the actions only.] It wasn't insulting, but it sure looked foolish.
Uh.......
where was I?...
scroll down further k?...
i forgot what i wanted to say...









Oh ya, so my first project for this semester is this skit, for which we have to write a script and a report.
and my LMS teacher is ever so calm... she laughs at her own jokes and her =) slowly morphs into a =( when she senses that no one is actually laughing at her jokes. -__-"
behind that ever-smiling facade, hides a, um, stern whatever~ god. That sounded nonsensical. Get my drift?... It simply means, I don't think she is as lenient as she looks.
;> sorry if i left your head swelling after reading the statement above.

Have I mentioned how I love watering plants? =D
I don't actually mean pruning. Just pure Watering. Pruning, in my context, means killing plants.
Anyway, my favourite's the orchid. So pretty!

But, some greens have yellow-ed, and I have no idea why. The weather's been bad, but, I thought they'll only yellow in sweltering heat? It's starting to turn cold now with the showers and all, so, it shouldn't be yellow-ing right?
...Maybe I missed out some leaves and branches while using the spray. From the way I see it, the various branches are spreading out everywhere. I'll get my aunt to prune it. Someday, if I remember.

Went for a 2-hour lecture yesterday. Turnout was pretty bad.
Renovations in sch. I like the new shop near blk 73. So much brighter and neater. And i like then new bus-stop. Looks cleaner too.
Hm... my vocabulary's restricted to 'brighter/neater/cleaner'. How nice. I think I threw back all adverbial phrases and subordinate clauses to Mrs Lee already.

I can't understand why they stinged on another week of hols. It's stupid if u ask me.
Started the new semester yesterday. Break today for deepavali. School again tmr. Break on thursday for hari-raya. Sch on fri. sickening.
ya~ 'happy deepa-raya~~' the FFA lecturer wished.

Will be alone for jap on fri, cuz Regynna and ShiMin have theirs scheduled on Wed as usual. Seems that they just promote those eligible for Basic B together as a class. Naturally, I got back the Fri slot. Unless i request to change again to Wed, which would be damn spastic cuz lessons end super early that day. 6 hours would be too long a wait. And if i get home before going back to NP again, I'd probably be too lazy to lift my butt/body off the chair/sofa/bed. Guess i'll just have to make new friends again. Which really isn't my forte.

Btw, that jap book's really expensive. Flipped through it, and stopped short of screaming. Seriously, WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO?...
I'd better go dig out that blardy text fast. Before I forget how to write sushi in jap too. LOL

On the brighter side of things, I have Shu Juan for company for the IS modules! =) And she said she'd most likely go for tennis on fri, which ends at 8. That means... I'll have company on the way home after jap too!

So looking forward to GOBLET OF FIRE!
And that 2 weeks' break. (It's a study break actually.)
How incorrigible. It's barely 2 days into the new semester and i'm thinking of the next break already.
