when i first learnt that two thirds of all human conversation is social gossip, i cldnt really believe it..i mean..surely those really smart, philosophical ppl can’t possibly be gossiping 2/3 of the time? but it probably applies to us la.

there’s this girl whose blog char and i stalk (occassionally) and she just got proposed to by her bf on a snowy mountain top in new zealand lor. here’s char’s reaction, haha:

 

charmain says:
WAH LAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha
tamade.
scarlet says:
mountain top.
snowy some more.
helicopter
hahaha.
charmain says:
hahaha shit leh she..
spoil market
HAHA

ok lah we’re not really sour grapes..we’re happy for her even though we dont know her..haha..but just..wah lao. why some ppl so lucky, get engaged also get to take a helicopter up to a mountaintop that looks like some postcard.

one paper down! it wasn’t v good tho…sian. better study harder for my remaining papers..didnt take exams last sem cos of PI, so i felt abit weird gg for exams today..forgot what card we were supposed to put on the corner of the desk..forgot whether there were shuttle buses A and B during exam period..haha im glad i got to exercise a little with mc today..it was pouring so we were stuck at my void deck. luckily we didnt knock anyone down with our shuttle runs haha! kk back to work, jiayou everyone!

taking a little break tonight, cos i spent the whole day studying in sch with fio! althought i only managed to finish 2 evo psych chapters..i think it’s commendable alr..considering how SUPER long and complex each chapter is.

chatted with a friend the other day and we were talking abt relationships..and my friend mentioned that she will always love wholeheartedly and go all out and do everything possible in every relationship. hmm. im nt doubting those exact means, im just wondering if it shld be that u love the same way in every relationship. surely different people require different types or at least different expressions of love?

i find myself a little different in every r/s..but maybe it’s also because i’m growing and changing a little every time..and not really bringing sth diff to the r/s. HMM. confounding variable. hahahaha.

haiya. 我害怕我的害怕会把你逼走。

cut my hair today.. and i feel free! haha..feel abit more alive, no more hair getting caught in my bag strap or tickling my back. actually i was in a better mood lah, but not anymore.

to be honest, what’s the big deal abt girls kissing each other when they’re drunk? if ure so damn horny go kiss someone with a dick lah.


today was the last 402 class of the sem, which also means the end of the  last core module for our cohort. while we squeezed to take a cohort photo..i recalled how we were standing in the very same LT1 during FOC in 2006, screaming the stupid nehnehneh cheer. how did 4 years go past like that? haha..it’s amazing.

it’s quite a daunting thought to start working for the rest of my life. i better enjoy as much of my final sem next year as i can..if i can. i don’t know why fyp is such a mood-dampener. it’s like a dark force that just sucks all life out of us. getting so tired of it..and our ever-changing plans..although i know we’re just trying our best to get sth going, sth..anything. even typing abt it makes me.so.tired.and.listless. BAH.

wish i was doing an evo psych research project instead. haha..i really liked what we learnt in evo psych..at first i thought Gumert was ke lian cos he seemed to only have interest in primates and evo psych, but now i think that’s one of the best things that you cld ask for..to have such intense passion for sth, that you can dedicate your life (or most of your time as an adult) to understand it.

anw now is mugging + fyp time. one step at a time lah..in every difficult journey, there are little spots of sunshine along the way. hope our mini holiday materializes! :)


home alone today! finally my first completely free day of the sem (well, ignoring the fact that i have 3 days worth of things to do). no lessons today so i can focus on revision and fyp and term report and quiz on fri. see, told u i have 3 days worth of things to do.

in a rather nonsensical mood, do u ever feel like..you appear very calm but inside you can feel all the jumpy nerves and crazy sparks. hmm. don’t know how to describe. aiya think i 犯贱, when there are ppl arnd, i want to be alone, when im alone, i wish for some noise.

saw this silly quote on my calendar “Apples don’t come looking for the pie. You have to find it.” -__-  haha. just because it’s a use of parable doesnt mean it’s more philosophical. if not, i can also say, “Shit doesn’t disappear. You must flush it.” to mean you have to actively do sth to make unpleasant things go away. how zai. mania does come with creativity huh. haha. ok enough. stop talking to yourself.

one of the psych lecturers said this today..”in the end, all people see, and all that matters, is what you present on the final day. all the drama that goes on before that, nobody else knows.” it was abt our project..cos apparently there were more than a few social loafers in the class. but anw i thought that it struck a chord cos it kinda reminded me of cheerobics. in a way, if everyone can unite based on the same goal for the finale, and be mature enough to tolerate individual differences, it doesn’t matter that things sometimes don’t go as smoothly during the process. it only gets out of hand when there are ppl who aren’t thinking for the team. right?


what a run.

09Nov09

today was the newbalance real run! and wah lao eh, it’s really a real run lor. hahaha..ok mostly my fault cos i didn’t train for it..kidded myself that somehow can slowly jog and 混 thru it. well, i felt like dying abt most of the time. totally not in shape enough to run it. and i walked abit. buggershit. but it’s really not easy leh..the terrain was so tiring to run on..and when we got to the sand..all i cld imagine was my knee popping out of my socket as i sank in the sand with every step.

thankew to my ninja turtle for sticking with me despite my practically-walking pace. next time u run by urself ok? haha i don’t wana be such a burden. but it was a good 10km experience tgt lah. my first 10km! (during the race i kept thinking it will be my last too. hahaha)

deadbeat. i want more 100plus!

after the run, had to rush home cos had a cousin’s wedding lunch to attend. it was my father’s side of the family..it’s a big problematic family so we’ve hardly gathered since the grandparents passed away a few yrs ago..it was so strange seeing the pri sch kid cousins now as older teens. changed so much that cldnt really recognise them anymore. and all the uncles and aunties looked very very much older from what we rmbed..it was scary..and quite sad. sigh. at least nex time my brother’s and my family won’t have trouble recognising who’s who at family gatherings since theres only 2 of us.

i think it’s funny how we can still discover new things abt each other after so long..like today, we learnt that rina takes one hour to bathe because she takes half an hour to……. haha..our yaogui outing today was as per normal..noisy and hysterical. even the staff at soup spoon cldnt help laughing at us when we kept shrieking at each other over duno what. (i think it was abt rina’s stupid bread. hahaha) it’s liberating to be super 三八 and be as annoying as we want occassionally. and i’m glad no matter how old we are, we still act like crazy girls when put tgt. looking forward to another chaotic outing after exams! :)

actually i think it’s only natural for girls to complain abt being fat when we get tgt..but i don’t REALLY think i’m fat for a normal person (not cheerleader) lah..so don’t worry jy. i wld love to shave off inches here and there, but i know i’m not anywhere near spilling over into 2 MRT seats lah. still, i desperately need to exercise more! this sunday is the newbalance real run…howhowhow..nv practise at all lor. i don’t want to end up walking halfway..so lao kui. :P

 


halloweenfun.

02Nov09

people all use each other in some way..don’t they? maybe not use..but with every person you interact with, there must be  sth you gain from and sth you give to that person. because if not, you wldn’t be spending time and energy on that person. so i shld be less moralistic. the world isn’t only black or white, it’s mostly grey (like zihua’s face yest, hahaha).

mc bought me a Mr Greedy storybook yesterday cos i think Mr Greedy is really cute. but i was so sad that the story ended with Mr Greedy being forced to eat so much that he learnt his lesson and never ate so much again..and he became thin. WTH. haha..how can. i know it’s supposed to teach children morals and values la..but then that’s not his true self what. if all the Mr Men and Little Miss stories are abt teaching morals, then all the characters will eventually morph into identical, boring lumps.  i’m starting to shift to Nietzsche’s idea..maybe we really don’t need that many morals.

ok anw halloween was quite fun..didn’t know it was such a big deal in SG..haha been hiding in my little cave too long. think all cheerleaders appreciate the occasional  chance to perform without having to plaster a smile on our face throughout. :P this was better (and better paying, thank u chibong for the lobang!) than last yr’s gig..this yr we were so awfully made up that we cld be as ugly as we wanted haha. but most of all, it was really nice seeing my old team mates.  :)

oh mc and i tried to donate blood yesterday too..it wld have been my first time..and after gg thru all the tests n procedures i hopped onto the bed excited that i was finally going to donate blood. and then the woman told me my veins were too small. (HUH.) so disappointing lor. as i walked away from the area, i met this other lady who just finished donating..and she told me she finally cld donate after six yrs because her veins were too small previously too. haha. if it’s such an impt requirement, why cldnt they just check at the first station where they check blood pressure. sigh. shall try again next time ba..always no luck with blood donation.

 


i made many bad decisions just now. ended up spending 20 bucks to rush home to make minor changes to a proposal duno for what. when my initial plan was to hang arnd with mc having not seen him all wk and to get dinner at my fav hk cafe. sianness. haha u noe how sometimes ure doing sth and u mess up, i will wonder if maybe im dreaming and i’ll wake up to get to do it properly this time round. like the time when i was supposed to go gym with char and i went all the way to nie and realised i forgot to pack my sports bra.

anyway. i now know why my second toe nail kps dying. i’ve been kicking it and tripping quite regularly..haha..that day i was walking to src absentmindedly and i kicked the pavement so damn freaking hard that i thought i wld break my toe. luckily i managed to stumble fast enough to not fall flat on my face. my arms just flew forward with the impact lor. haha..so funny to see ur own hair swing forward.

ok i think i nid to slp. mc im secretly glad we cldnt make it for movie mob tml..gremlins yuck. all i can picture is them exploding in the microwave. i rather watch chucky than gremlins. through my fingers lah.
