Musings
A conversation I had with a new friend yesterday seem to have shed some light on my perceptions.
I realized that somehow I feel so adamant to want to leave lies in the fact that I have never pictured what my life here will be like. Each time I think about the future, the setting is never in the local context. I never picture myself in the rat race, chasing the same conventional dreams of the...
Cycles
At the peak of craziness, you wonder when everything will reach the end point so you can stop and take a breather.
Once it reaches the end, you wonder what happened. Where did all the time flow to? Has it really been that fast after all? Has 3.5 months just flown past you just like that? The sudden standstill from chaos and business is a blow to the system which has been so in-tuned to the...
The Useful Dead
This is certainly interesting and worthy of consideration elsewhere.
Mysteries
I can decide if I like shopping sometimes because the stores give out awesomely gorgeous paper bags.
Ego Buster
So a friend I know from about 3 years ago found out that I do not like him. According to him, I am “anti” him. Well, he’s not wrong to say that.
The punch line though, comes from the fact that he’s such a sad little sod that he literally (I’m really not kidding here) tried asking all the girls in our group out for a date. I am pretty sure none of them took him up on...
Sweats Love
This is totally irrelevant and random. I love my sweatshirt. It’s humongous and I literally drown in them but they’re so soft and comfy and so totally me.
The only pity is only getting it 3 days ago.
I am going to adopt another one in the summer. Can’t wait.
Self Study
I realize the way I am studying now is so different from two years ago, they are practically at two ends of the spectrum. (Gosh, I just love the word spectrum, clueless why). I used to be ambivalent and gave up way too easily, sometimes not even bothering at all.
I study a lot more now, well I force myself to at least try to sit down and go through my stuff properly and, I like it. Studying...
So they say
People always say you cannot predict the future and how everything changes from the initial plans you have. I can’t deny that fact.
But I do have a plan. It’s definite yet vague enough that I see the possibility of it becoming a reality. That is, to get out of this place before I’m 30. It’s open to changes, hopefully earlier though, rather than later.
It may be a change...
Gals Before Pals. Always
Elijah: Where do you stay anyway? Serangoon right?
Me: Yea, Upper Serangoon
Eli: Isn't that really near Chomp Chomp?
Me: Yep, it's a really short bus ride from my place.
Eli: Let's go there for supper soon.
Me: Sure, when?
Eli: How about Tuesday?
Me: Okay. Let me ask the girls if they plan to study at the airport on Tuesday..if they are then we gotten reschedule chomps
Would it be
being too greedy if I just want that couple of something more after being blessed with so many great things happening so far this year?
Things have been fantastic so far in 2009 but I just wonder if just wanting this couple of things more will tip the balance beyond…
It doesn’t hurt to want right?
Sleep. Is Good
Staying up for more than 36 hours on end is exhausting, mind-numbing and back-breaking.
Sleeping for 13 hours straight after feels like the best sleep I’ve had in ages. I’m going back for more soon.
Sleep, I mean. Not the work.
P.S. I am ready for the intensive studying now though. Might actually be fun. I’m not kidding.
At a time like this,
I wish I am about to board my flight to San Francisco. An 18 hour or so plane ride where I do nothing but sleep.
I never knew this song existed in my computer. But...
Whiners' Circle
Whining is a really annoying and grating acitivity especially to people who have to sit through it.
I personally try my very best to be at neither ends. I don’t want to have to whine to others about my problems nor do I want to hear all their silly trivial little problems, which I guess we can all solve on our own if we took the time to sit down and properly consider our choices and options...
Adventures in the Night Time
Me: I always have awesome dreams of hotties.
Sam: I always end up being in danger in my dreams. Either someone gets killed or something.
Me: Okay, not always but enough to make me happy.
Sam: The only 1 celebrity that appeared in my dreams was Ryan Seacrest.and he was PREGNANT! I was rubbing his tummy!
Cheap Thrill
It’s just one of three exams that I need to take to clear a module. The results for the second exam were released only today and I went to check my grades a couple of minutes ago.
Pure vindication (suffice to say, I screwed up the previous exam) and the sweet taste of victory. I got a spanking ‘A’ for the last one held just last week.
I have just proven that I am not an idiot...
