Sugar, we're goin' down swinging

I'M GOIN' ON A HIATUS.

Sorry everyone. Don't miss me too much aight. The next five weeks are probably gonna be the five longest of my life so far. But I will make it! Five weeks will come, and five weeks will go, in just 182 blinks of an eye! 

Weather's starting to turn chilly and usually this is the time when I start to get all the Christmas songs from this CD that my dad plays every Christmas stuck in my head. One of my all-time favourites is December Will Be Magic Again by Kate Bush. 

Gotta love Christmas. It's a time of hot chocolate, green, red and silver everywhere, thick sweaters, water heaters and cosy cafes. 

So here's when I decided to heck chem for a while, and... chem-whore. (sorry couldn't resist) 

Love yall. Happy Halloween in advance!

Who are you now

It's been a great day. 

Had our last ever assembly in the morning, then class bonding time for an hour. Ms Wong took the time to tell us our strengths which was really random but funny. 

I'm really grateful for a teacher like her because she really cares about us and you can really see how dedicated she is. Like I've had nice and great teachers before but no one's actually walked the extra extra mile like she did (yes I typed extra twice) and she's always telling us that character is a lot more important than grades. So yeah. Definitely gonna miss her. And all our other very quirky subject teachers, J1 teachers included. 

Honestly I have to admit I'm not proud of my school and I don't think I'll ever be, but you can't change things and I've come to terms with it, after a little less than two years of being here. It's not so bad, the food's ok haha and the teachers are actually really good, well at least mine were, lucky me. I have a lot of acquaintances and friends in the school but I'm not close to most of them, but I guess it'll be sad not getting to see the same familiar friendly faces every day. 

I remember when I first came in and I was so miserable about my lot that I managed to dragged myself to the school for the first day, then skipped the rest of orientation. I can't really remember what I did but I think I spent the few days being depressed about the whole idea of going to a school I never thought I would end up in for the next two years. 

Then we got our class allocations and 12S16 turned out to be a really fun class with good people in it, so it's ok. J1 was a great year, honestly. I don't think I've worked and played so hard in any other year. 

So yesh, I've graduated from junior college. Kind of hard to believe it. Like, time really, really flies. I feel so old all of a sudden. Feels like just yesterday when we were exchanging numbers on the first day of school in sec1.

I just came home a few hours ago from my run with Jiams (had prata and iced milo yumz) so I'm super tired. Also, the weather is terrible and I am craving some tauhuay.

Time stands still

Tiring day.

As long as there's econs in it, it's a tiring day. 

I realise I got Ds for econs and gp which are both arts subjects and the only arts I take. Haha. Really not an arts person. 

So in total I had two hours of chem, two hours of physics and 4.5 hours of econs today. Is that enough to excuse me from any more studying tonight? :( 

Most important fact of the day is that tonight (okay maybe right now) is BMTH's concert in Singapore at the Coliseum, the exact same venue I caught All Time Low at. I totally regret choosing not to go for it. Like if I'd planned for it a month ago when tickets were just out then if I could rewind time I would go but now that I know that there's still tickets left I don't want to, because it's too last-minute :( 

But thing is a month ago I imagined myself studying really hard for As which are in 3 weeks from now so I thought I probably shouldn't go for the concert and now I realise I can actually go for it because I probably won't be doing anymore work tonight. What a waste. The feeling sucks. I is really sad. 

Oh and Christine met BMTH at the Starbucks she was studying at like what the hell how is anyone that lucky? She's not even as big a fan as I am (HAHA I'm sorry Christine do know that I still love you), this is injustice I demand a rewind of time so I can like skip school and actually be right there waiting to tackle them once they set foot in that Starbucks. 

Life is horrible :(((( And no one in school was there to feel my pain. I know like three people who listen to them and they were all classes and schools away. 

Well, thank God for Youtube. I hope people actually upload some videos. 

(edit)
Omg tomorrow is the last day of official school. I think I'm... 25% sad and 75% happy?
If you think deeper, it's our last day of school as a student attached to an institution. Last day of school in a uniform, baggy and awkward as some people's (mine) might be...
Last day of being in a classroom with a bunch of familiar, standard (and bored) faces.
Last day of being an official TPJ student. Can't say I'm terribly upset about that, though. (sorry not sorry)

Coffee

Hi again.

Graduation is this friday. That is way too soon. That means two days left of school since tomorrow is a public holiday, then two weeks of study break, three weeks of A levels and then bam. My JC life is over, just like that. I'll be free to do all my favourite things to do- play basketball, write, read, sketch, go jamming, listen to music, youtube, travel... omg just the thought of it makes me feel like jumping up and doing a happy dance.

Still undecided on if I want to work after As. But I want to take up drumming so I'll probably have to get a job. And I definitely need extra cash to spend. Ahhhhhhh. Eggcited.

Also, I still don't know what I want to study / want to be in the future. Someone told me today that she's going to do badly and if she does, she'll enlist in the army. Haha what.

Six weeks guys. We got this.

And my words are as timed as the beating in my chest

My blog stats have suddenly shot up. It's really weird. Either someone's stalking me, or I've suddenly become net-popular in the past week. I think the former's more likely. I think the stalker might be the professional stalker Jiams.

I am really tired so I don't have the energy to mug (just came back from our friday run) but I still have like 5% left for a little blog post.

Let's start with where I last updated. Ok so we had school on wednesday. Oh I remember now, it was the horrible day. Had chem where I was just doing physics for the whole one and a half hours, and then we had break, then econs. Econs tutorials always drain the life out of me. I don't remember much from econs tutorials except furiously taking down notes while Ms wong goes like a bullet.

After another short break we had physics. Then a few of us had compulsory econs consultation and that was my least favourite part of the day because we had a surprise econs case study to complete in exam time and my brain was already dying so I just dawdled and wrote really little and I felt really dumb while ms wong went through the answers because I couldn't follow and everyone was answering her questions and whenever it got to me I would just freeze and she'd be like "I'll get back to you" and I'd just shrivel up a little more every time.

Thursday was better, fortunately. We had econs and math and everything ended at 12.30pm. Went home and played guitar and again procrastinated. So yeahh there's my past few days in a nutshell.

I'm really poofed. Eyes are half-closed haha good night my little pumpkins (That reminds me, Halloween's just around the corner ooh)

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

Life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses

1. My spirit animal is Cameron Hurley.

2. I sometimes think it might be possible for me to have an emotional breakdown during an econs exam.

3. I have had tea (caffeine) today and later received news that school will end at 5.30pm tomorrow. I will be a walking, talking zombie by the end of the next day.

4. I'm on a self-ground rule till the end of As. Please don't ask me out guys (and girls). Okok kidding, I meant that on a 'everyone' basis.

5. Oh and friday evening runs with wums are an exception. (Haha wums sounds like a dog here. In case you're new here, she's my human best friend)

6. I am full of nonsense tonight.

7. Half of the reason why I'm blogging is I don't want to study econs just yet :( #procrastination

8. As you can probably tell already, I'm going through a hate phase with econs right now. Hopefully it'll pass.

9. Okok I'll leave now goodbye

The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from

Hi

Out of my house and at Tamp's CBTL because I forgot my auntie was coming over and she talks a lot so I can't concentrate. Chose the wrong day to skip school. 

I was reading econs and nothing seems to be going in so I'm doing physics instead. Been feeling really hopeless for econs and then I got a text from Sj saying I have 70+ RPs and I'm top but we haven't gotten back econs so far so maybe they received the papers today which means I may not have done as badly for econs prelims as I feared! Yay but of course it could be a typo on her part or something hahaha if it is im gonna kill her

Ok physics time goodbye
(apologise for all the really short posts lately)

Watching, waiting, commiserating

Hello wello yellow

Been really unproductive these past few days. I keep going out and procrastinating and surfing the Net.

33 days to As and 52 till the end. Omg where does the time go?

Haha sorry I think my blog's really boring these days but I really don't have a life anymore hahaha. Can't wait for another 52 days. It feels so surreal, like... 52 days. That's basically in no time at all.

Ermmmmm.

I have nothing else to say, actually. Maybe I'll go on a hiatus soon :(

Oh yes, do leave a comment. I'm really curious as to who reads my blog. Haha. I have about 800 views a month and I know about 5 or 6 people who read my blog, tops. Assuming they check up on me every day, that's a whopping 150 views from them. Who are all the other 650? Hm

Came a time when every starfall brought you to tears again

Well guys, this is it. My last hour of being seventeen. What is air?

Nothing much to say, really. I can't believe I'm actually going to be legal in just one hour.

18. Legal. Now where's the fun in that?

Hmmmm. Seventeen was a good year. I think most of it was spent on school and work actually, haha. Like I honestly can't remember the last time I just went out shopping or to catch a movie without all my books and without any intention of mugging (aside from those couple of days we take as breaks after every major exam period).

I had more sleepovers in this year than I ever had in my entire life, went jamming more than I ever had my entire life, plucked up the guts to perform onstage, made new friends and lost a lot of friends and became more independent and (hopefully) more mature. Heh heh.

I got drunk for the first time ever (interesting experience) and I guess overall, I had fun this year. Of course all the real fun will begin after A levels, but right now... I think I can safely say it's been a great year.

But I don't wanna turn 18 nooooooo like seriously it sounds so uncool to be 18. Btw in the US, youngsters can move out and get jobs once they turn 18. And look what we're doing now haha. I feel so baby-ed as a Singaporean but I guess it's sort of a good thing. Honestly I'm not very proud of my culture, but what I can do? I'm just glad I was born into a really safe and small country and most importantly, I've people who love and care for me.

Anyway, I'm kind of digressing.

Oh ya, do you ever wonder who actually reads your blog? Like I was looking at my stats and realised they've kind of increased. 100+ reads from Singapore alone, in just one week. Where are all you creepy stalkers coming from?! Who knows, maybe I have an old teacher reading my blog or a distant relative like a cousin or a second cousin secretly checking up on me every day.

Ooh that reminds me, I think I've told this story before on here but once in sec3 or sec4 when we were in the music room for music class, I saw our teacher had some Internet explorer tabs open and one of them had my then-blog title, which was Skylines and Turnstiles. And I was just about to blurt out, "Omg Mrs Sng you've been listening to My Chemical Romance??" when I saw the Blogger icon up there next to the title and I realised it was MY BLOG.

I completely freaked out hahaha. And was like "Mrs Sng, WHY are you stalking me?" And she was like "oh... oops haha" -Awkward moment-

Shit, this is it, really. Last hour. And IM GONNA SPEND IT........... doing a math paper.

Bye and good night! x

Or just a means to start again?

I am soooooooo hungry. Ate nothing all day but cereal because I'm too lazy to go downstairs to buy food and there's nothing to eat at home. I crave something savoury :(

This has been one of the most unproductive weekends ever, I think after prelims I just kinda lost it. Meh. Seriously need to pull up my socks. Although I'm barefoot right now. (lame)

I HEAR THE RICE COOKER GOING OFF OMG THAT MEANS DINNER IS READY

Should I go out after dinner? I'm kind of craving a pastry. Or two. Like the spinach and mushroom iforgotwhat from Starbucks.

39 days to the start of As, shit just got real.

I can't wait for another 58 days so I can finally have fun without feeling guilty as hell. I can go overseas and do all sorts of crazy things and no one will care!!! Also, still wondering if I should get a job. I need the money but... do I really want to spend a precious seven months working my butt off? Hmm

I already have a mini to-do list for post-As haha

Ok I'm going to venture out to look for food

Bye

Thursday, September 26, 2013

Not much, how bout you?

1. Sleepy and tired, tired and sleepy

2. I got back my chem paper 2 yesterday and it was a E and I felt like shit over it, plus I got a D for GP (but that was pretty expected) so I went home and had a good cry about it and gorged on milk chocolate with almonds. Then I went back to school today still feeling trashy, and discovered I got decent enough marks for my Papers 1 and 3 to pull my overall grade for my chem prelims up to a B. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

3. I felt loads better though when Sj came over halfway during chem yesterday and made me laugh over random things, though she wasn't doing it on purpose. Thanks bby :)

4. I kinda feel like PhotoBooth-ing but I don't wanna give you guys nightmares. Been a rough week y'see.

5. Every day feels like a monday. :(

6. As of 27th sep, it's 42 days to the start, 61 till the end. Omg exactly 6 weeks to the start. It's terrifying.

7. Good night all xo

If growing up is this painful then I'd be happy to stay seventeen forever. 

Happy to never be taken seriously, happy to live without responsibilities, happy to be blissfully broke, happy to just be happy. 

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

And it's become so clear why heaven called your name

PRELIMS ARE OVERRRRRRRR

Ahahahahahhahahahahaa

I am SUPER tired right now, but there's still school tomorrow. Our H1 physics P1 ended at 9am, so a group of us went to roam around. Spent a lot on food and the movie we watched- don't even feel like counting it. Oh and I snuck in to my first M18 movie (The Millers) yay. The first and last time I snuck in to a movie was the NC16 Limitless, if I'm not wrong.

The Millers was kind of disappointing, like it was funny at some parts I guess but it was awfully cheesy and crude and had way too many sick scenes for my liking. (maybe all M18 movies are like that idk) Was also kind of shocked by how different my sense of humour is from the general audience.

I know I have a very weird sense of humour but I was literally chuckling to myself at lots of parts that nobody else was laughing at, and then there was this scene where they were playing charades and Kenny drew a skateboard and Rose yelled 'Omg I know, it's a big black dick!' And everyone was laughing their heads off but I didn't find it funny at all. That is bad

I was actually thinking, it'd be nice if Lianne was here because I know she'd laugh at all these things with me hahaha (are you touched Lianne)

But yeah.

My head's spinning, possibly because I just listened to Cinema by Skrillex (bass boosted). The bass is just crazy, my brain just feels really weird right now. I was hesitating over whether to ask my class on my WhatsApp group if anybody else listened to Skrillex because I don't know anyone else who does and I wanted to ask if it was normal, and in the end I just thought heck, just send it, so I did, and nearly no one replied haha it was really awkward. -reclines further into little world-

Quick confession, I think this is my least favourite class out of all the classes I've been in hahaha (maybe second least, after 2K'09) like I really cannot fully click with anyone. It's kind of sad really but oh well main goal's still As right

Wow will you look at the time. Haha ok I know it's only 11pm but I like to sleep early and anyway there's school tomorrow (feels really weird going back to school after almost a month of exams) so

Good night x

Simon Collings
Do You Speak English?


Manuel had passed the fish on his way up the road. It was eighteen to twenty inches long and its silvery scales were covered with dirt. The gill flaps opened like two gash wounds on the sides of its head as it thrashed helplessly in the gutter. Next to it a boy leaned against the railings, his rod and line dangling out over the floating garbage and the stream of brown, stinking waste which trickled from a pipe in the wall below. The boy wore a faded pair of football shorts. He was perhaps nine or ten years old, barefoot and grubby, and his skin was marked with insect bites.
     The fish gasped, then made one last convulsive leap, throwing itself in the direction of the river, and landed on the pavement with a thud. There it lay motionless for a moment, exhausted no doubt by the effort. The boy looked down at it, turned and kicked it back into the gutter.
     Manuel had not paid much attention to the fish as he was preoccupied. He had just been to look at an apartment and he was considering how he could afford the rent. Accommodation was hard to find in the city and a place like this didn't come up very often. The apartment he and his wife were currently living in was so small their six-year-old son had to live with his wife's parents during the week. They had been trying to move for two years. He took out a cigarette and leaned against the railing, looking down the street at the boy fishing.
     Further along the quay two figures were approaching. He watched as they wandered slowly towards him. They looked to be in their early thirties and were obviously tourists, Americans he would guess. The woman had shoulder-length reddish hair and pale freckled skin. She was slim and athletic looking. Her partner was tall and flabby, his stomach protruding from under his T-shirt. He wore knee-length shorts, sunglasses and his long hair was tied in a pony tail. They came slowly along the dusty street of warehouses. Tourists were not uncommon in the city but they usually kept to the old port with its rococo churches and stately customs house, or took the organized cruises along the reef. It was rare to see them in this district and Manuel assumed they were lost.
<  2  >
     ‘Look at the poor thing,' said the woman, stopping beside the fish, which lay where the boy had kicked it, probably now gasping its last breaths. She spoke with a lazy, nasal drawl. The boy had not turned around but he had noticed their presence. He stared fixedly across the glittering surface of the water towards the lines of washing in the narrow streets on the opposite bank, waiting for them to go.
     ‘It ought to be thrown back,' the woman was saying. ‘Do you think he wants it?' She turned to her companion who shrugged. He looked nervous.
     ‘I don't like the look of this neighborhood,' he said. ‘I think we should get back.' But the woman wasn't going to let it pass. She stood there looking from the fish to the boy and back again.
     ‘You could try asking him,' the man said. The woman stepped around the fish and approached the boy, who was still looking out across the river. The child's body tensed as the woman came up to him.
     ‘Do you know that fish is dying?' Manuel heard her ask. The boy looked up at her blankly and then shook his head. ‘Dy-ing,' she repeated, drawing out each syllable, but the boy remained dumb, uncomprehending. He fidgeted awkwardly with his feet.
     ‘I don't think he understands,' said the woman to her partner. The man shrugged as if to say ‘I told you we shouldn't get involved'. She looked around for assistance and noticed Manuel watching her. She stared at him for a moment, taking in the cream-coloured linen suit, the shoes. She was obviously unsure what to make of him.
     ‘Do you speak English?' she asked, this time with a more respectful tone than she had used with the boy. Manuel said that he did but in a voice which gave her no reason to expect his help. She held his gaze for a few moments.
     ‘Can you ask this boy what he means to do with the fish? It seems so cruel, it ought to be thrown back.' He looked across at the boy and then at the woman. He wondered if he should tell her about the kind of life this boy led, about the squalid shacks down by the beach from where he had probably come that morning, about the parents struggling to make ends meet. Two days earlier he had read in the local paper about a fishing community a few miles up the coast which was being evicted to make way for a new hotel. The boy was watching them anxiously.
<  3  >
     ‘Esta senhora quer saber o que voce vai fazer com o peixe,' he said to the boy. He treated the boy gently, with consideration. The boy wiped a dirty hand across one eye and looked at Manuel.
     ‘E para vender,' he responded.
     ‘He intends to sell it,' he told the woman. He tried to make his answer sound final, as though that was the end of the matter. The woman hesitated, perhaps uncertain how to interpret the lack of encouragement in his voice. Manuel observed her confusion. Her eyes searched his face as though looking for some clue. Her companion shifted nervously behind her.
     ‘Honey, I think we should go,' he said. But the woman ignored him. He shuffled uncomfortably. ‘You know I really don't think you should interfere.'
     ‘How much does the boy want for the fish?' the woman asked. Manuel glanced at her companion with his stooped shoulders and useless bulk. The woman's determination amused him but he did not smile.
     ‘A senhora quer comprar o peixe. Quanto e?' The boy named a price which was five times what he would have got for it locally. His expression was deadpan. Only a slight clenching of his right hand betrayed the tension he was probably feeling. Manuel told her the price, adopting the same tone of voice with which he had addressed her previously, but this time he could not help smiling. She seemed to interpret this as friendliness. She opened her purse and took out some money, peeling off a note of twice the value the boy had asked.
     ‘Does he have any change?' she asked.
     Manuel translated. Again the boy's right hand twitched slightly but otherwise his face wore the same expression of innocence it had before. He shook his head. The woman hesitated for a moment and looked across at the fish. Then she held out the note to the boy who took it. She stooped down, picked the fish up carefully between forefinger and thumb and threw it into the river. Without looking at either Manuel or the boy she turned to her companion and they went on up the road together. The man produced a handkerchief and offered it to the woman to wipe her fingers but she refused it. They appeared to be arguing. The boy stood holding the note. His expression had hardly changed. Manuel watched the couple until they disappeared out of sight. They did not once look back. He lit another cigarette and returned to his former position against the railings.
<  4  >
     The fish had not survived its lengthy time out of the water and was now floating amidst the debris a few feet out from the bank, washed in against the shore by the backward eddy of the current. The boy climbed over the railings and down onto a ledge just above the water line. He began dragging the dead fish towards him with a stick. When it was finally within reach he caught hold of it and tossed it up onto the road. As he clambered over the railings he grinned at Manuel. The boy gathered up his rod and the fish and set off up the street. Manuel watched him while he finished his cigarette. Then he threw the butt down into the dirty water and made his way back the way he had come.

Dream

I had this really weird dream. Like it kind of made sense but didn't make sense at the same time. But it felt so real it was pretty scary.

Ok so I dreamt I was this person living in a small town in Russia with my two sisters and our father. My sisters were both blonde but I was a brunette, and we all looked about the same age. Life was simple and happy until there was a sudden invasion from an authoritarian governement, and at the same time there was an outbreak of a strange disease that would turn people mad and cause their appearance to change drastically. They would look dreadful.

We left our house because it was no longer safe, and moved into this small shack somewhere else. There were a lot of strange things happening, like in one scene we were somehow at a large, extremely packed outdoor stadium, possibly to listen to our new dictator speak, but it was funny cause everyone was just crammed together and we were all facing one direction. Then amidst the noise, our father pointed to something way above us, around the corner of the stadium (I don't really know how to describe it but it was just high up but not in the air).

There was a bunch of strange-looking creatures playing with water (don't ask me how is there water) and they looked like beavers cross-bred with some other animal to look the size of hippotamuses. Think maybe capybaras from the Amazon but at least three or four times bigger. There were babies too and they were just taking turns jumping into the water from a great height.

Our father explained that he believed it was evolution and the disease was even affecting our animals as well. In another scene, we were in a large field playing and spending family time together. There were other families too. The field was fenced up, and as one of my sisters and I wandered to the quiet far end of the field, further away from everyone else, our father called us back and told us it was very important we stay together and not go off exploring on our own.

Somewhere along the way we lost our father, and my sisters and I were depressed and would bicker over the slightest things. One of my sisters became very withdrawn and strange, and would scream at us. She started having skin problems and as she left the room after one fight, my other sister looked at me and we both somehow knew she was infected.

The sister who left said she was going back to our old house to live, and we didn't try to stop her. I told the other sister who stayed in the shack that I was going back as well, just to get some things, and then I left with the first sister.

We were silent as she did her own things, but I was secretly packing up my belongings.

I met with some old friends that I used to run a cafe with before the invasion and outbreak, and we walked down the street together. We stopped at the cafe that we used to own, and looked at how dilapidated and rundown it had become.

As we turned away, I thought, maybe I could start over... I was thinking of the changes I could make to the place and somehow I was thinking of the words 'coffee with cream' when my mom woke me up.

Very interesting dream

Cause real life just isn't right, let's get away

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mlYii4F1EE

Us crazy people at the All Time Low concert 6th March 2013 singing our hearts out (and warming up those vocals) to Blink-182's All The Small Things, pre-show. Love this video omg it totally captures how I was feeling. There's nothing better than standing in a crowd full of people who know the words to one of your favourite pop-punk songs. And nothing better than a lovely crowd that can sing. It just gets me.

Aneewayza.

I'M DONE WITH ALL MY PRELIM PAPERS EXCEPT FOR MY H2 CHEM MCQ PAPER AND H1 PHYSICS MCQ PAPER WOOHOOOOOOOO

I feel like I've stepped over another major milestone in my life haha but seriously. I'm almost done with my A level prelim exams. And soon we'll be taking A levels itself... 7 weeks to As omg. How is that even possible? I swear it feels like May was just yesterday and I was telling myself to 'hang in there, just six more long, torturous months to go till the end...' and BAM it's just less than 2 months away already.

So today I'm taking a break since we have four whole days to study for chem and physics heh. I seriously need a break, I've been dreadfully tired ever since tuesday when we had H2 Math P1 and H2 Econs P2. Thank the Lord for Brand's essence and caffeine.

Lianne is badass LOL her bio prelim mcq paper is tomorrow and she went shopping with me today. Yes after my chem paper ended at 4pm I chionged home to get some moolah before going to meet her at Orchard.

We had Soup Spoon for dinner, then window-shopped and then ate ice-cream. My sweet-stuff craving is still not satisfied because the ice-cream wasn't sweet enough :( and now I am SUPER HUNGRY.

Ok bye off to find food. And I've been youtubing ever since I came home and showered omg youtube is so addictive

I was sixteen, he was twenty-one

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We hear it from the people of the town
They call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down



Love old songs. From time to time I still break out into this song randomly. Grew up listening to only old classics on the radio- my dad hated (still hates) modern pop songs and refused to ever let us change the station. Come to think of it, it was a good thing though. 

Prelims, prelims. 

Left with Chem Paper 3 this week, then Chem P1 and Physics P1 next week. I'm soooo tired and I don't even know why. I've been sleeping early the past few days, like around latest 11pm every night. But I nearly couldn't wake up for my math paper today. Gah. 

(edit)
My mom just walked in on me partying to Billy Joel, how awkward.

7. Ice-cream on a cold day
8. New kicks
9. My favourite music
10. Going to stationery shops
11. Handmade cards
12. Wooden/country-style furniture
13. Swings
14. Long bus rides on an empty bus

- That was so tumblr-ish.

- But I am starting to feel the exam jitters and I just really wanted to blog to get rid of them.

- I really am horrible. I have chem, econs and math papers spanning the next three days but here I am. Ugh.

Better off this way


Feeling a little out of form today.



Maybe it's time for me to work out. Get back in shape. 


Could ask my twin to go with me too.
