Just got back from picking my sister up from CAP.

It’s funny how little things change in 2 years. The LTs and boarding halls look more modern (yknow, steel and glass replacing ol' brick and mortar) but, at the end of the day, it's the same thing. CAPpers shouting their goodbyes at each other across a crowded auditorium, councillors (trying to) make themselves useful, etc etc.

Geoffery will probably blog about this exact same scene with a steady series of cliched phrases in the way only a litRA student can. Suffice to say he's looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses; I'm looking at the world from a more objective (read: cynical) view.

It's interesting to see people I know there. Apart from the RI guys, who seemingly possess an unnatural enthusiasm for being a councillor (it's virtually a litRA gathering) I think I recognized Yi Yong, from 2 years back, as those faithful readers will know, and Kexin, who obviously didn't recognize me.

Of course, everyone'll exchange handphone numbers, promise to keep in touch, SMS each other like crazy for the first, maybe even first two, weeks, perhaps even make 1-2 halfhearted attempts at a meeting, then slowly but surely drift apart.

I wonder how many people who went to CAP 2 years ago still keep in touch. I know the answer with regard to myself, and even assuming that I'm a shy lil' turkey (don't give me that look, it's a reference, okay) the numbers aren't encouraging.

Either way, it's my sister's thunder. I'll stop stealing it.

(When Geoffery posts, I shall go superlative-counting.)

I really need a good book to read. If anyone has any suggestions, tag/MSN/sms basically TELL me, so I don't spend my time reading stupid trash from the library yeah.

I borrowed If on winter's night a traveller today, hopefully it'll prove to be interesting...yes I loot ideas from blogstalking.

To all those unhappy people I know, cheer up yeah.

This comic is epically funny.

Don't you hate it when you know someone's going through a shit time, but can't do anything about it because you (a Literature student, incidentally) have nothing that you can say?

Life has been mostly good, though. All the week10 stuff has ended, leaving us with a mountain of projects--but then again, these projects aren't due anytime soon.

So, life's good.

We've finally bought a new apartment (calling it a house would be an overstatement, I guess; home, yes, house, no) somewhere in Hougang. I'm going to miss this house, my family has stayed here for a damn long period of time.

As always, moving to a new (and smaller, meaning more cramped) location means a complete change of scenery, more time needed to get to XW's house (sadly) and, most traumatically of all, having to wake up earlier to get to school.

This is an epically good song. No lyrics, just music, but good nontheless.

(I have no idea how to upload Youtube videos, so...just click on the link, tab somewhere else and listen, will you?)



Thanks matthew.

I just lost my voice, have a headache, mild fever and in general most of the symptoms of a cold, which, although isn't life-threatening, is very annoying.

On the bright side, I didn't get sick during the holidays...which means my holidays will be illness-free.

I'm no longer as pissed as I was yesterday. I trust that aforementioned (is it still aforementioned if the post I'm referring to is under this one?) person will get what he deserves at the end.

That was a really cliched sentence.

Finally finished most of the outstanding (and I don't mean good) projects and tests today, so I'm relatively free for the time being and quite happy about it.

There's so much I want to write here, but I can't, because it'd clash with...an image that I'm trying to project, I guess. I guess it's the same for everyone else; after all, everyone tries to project a certain image to others. That's why most of us regret it when we post in anger and delete our posts later.

On a less philosophical note, I think I should start keeping track of the myriad quotes that I hear daily. Some of them are really damn hilarious.

Quote of the Day, anyone?

Having slackers in your group is bad enough. Having a slacker who insists that he isn't slacking, tries to point the finger at other people when problems happen, takes 6 days to write a 200-word report (90% of which was copied from Wikipedia), has problems graphing just THREE lines, and procrastinates at every single opportunity is just fucking irritating.

I really like drumming. I love the different beats and sounds you can make. I love the speed, the tempo at which you can play--from furiously fast with a near-constant roll to soft, the sticks clicking gently on the highhat.

I love the pespiration you feel on your skin after a good drumming session.

Haven't really had a chance to post, primarily because the past few days've been nothing short of hectic.

Bio CCT ended on Thursday. Finally went to watch Iron Man, and left the cinema feeling extremely disappointed. Suffice to say it isn't exactly one of the best movies I've ever watched. Although others, of course, may beg to differ.

A superhero movie isn't entertaining without a sufficiently strong villian, and given that 75% of the movie consisted of Iron Man (who behaves in a strikingly similiar manner to Chester, by the way, and I'm not talking about the ridiculous amount of concealed weapons here) owning everyone else and the remaining 25% consisted of Iron Man getting owned by someone else, entertainment was at a premium.

Friday was tiring. Skipped school--and Maths TA--for APCG, which was, for want of a better word, eyeopening. I don't intend to elaborate.

(I told 4A that I spent Friday getting racuously drunk to celebrate the end of CCTs, but fell into the Singapore River and couldn't struggle out in time to reach school...I think they actually believed me. Fine, maybe not.)

Rushed to National Library right after APCG to catch Hypochondriac, which was admittedly amusing. I think the best scenes of the show came from Thomas Lilycrap. (name, of course, crafted to suit the character's personality) Of course, you probably don't understand what I'm talking about if you didn't watch the play, but that is but a minor point.

Last CCT tomorrow!

Maths TA on Friday, too, but I'm going to discount that temporarily, because in all honesty it sucks to be unable to celebrate on Thursday just because of some test on Friday, no?

I'm mildly stressed, and when I'm mildly stressed, you know something's damn wrong.

-waves to a friend from about 2 years back.

There isn't really much to say. As most people from RI/RG would agree, this week's a killer week. Especially tomorrow, what with the Chinese Exam it brings (with all the bells and whistles too) But yeah, once I get past this week I shall be very happy.

Tomorrow first.

Went to watch the CDC play last night. People tell me I criticize too often, so I'll just say that the best part of it was the free chinese marks. The rest...I'll quote xuewen.



"This is like watching a chinese drama serial, except that it never ends..."



of course, being himself, he also provided plenty of other quotes.

"Hey! This play is about gay people! I love gay people!"
"..."
"..."
"...stay away from me."

I completely wasted May Day holiday today. What's new, really.

Goodnight.
