Argh. Who ever said that first 3 months was all play and no work? i'm swarmed up with work as it is, with no time to do anything else besides torturous tutorials, reading baffling books (textbooks), reading nonsensical lecture notes, argh. I can't believe how busy ccas are making me, i have absolutely no free day to relax at all. so please forgive me if i seem a little stressed out at this point, i am. right. it's back to bio tutorial (and this is starting to resemble my blogs from beginning of last year, where it was "back to a-maths" or "back to social studies")

Thank you

I'm more touched than i've ever been in my whole life today. Nothing i've read has ever affected me so deeply as your words, and i thank you for that. The feeling of knowing that someone cares a lot, that someone is concerned, and actually expresses it, is more touching than any inspirational show or story, simply because it's happening to you at that very moment. And today, it was my turn to experience that, and I feel that I'm very fortunate to have that. The tears that come from what really moves you is so much more meaningful than crying over an imaginary storyline, don't you think?

Gosh. My class is a riot *grin* especially in today's bio tutorial, with matthew posing as zhengyuan, and vice versa, deluding the teacher with a story that explained why matthew didn't look like matthew in the class photo list (it was actually zhengyuan on the list, but matthew said that photo was taken long ago when he didn't have specs) yeah. so anyway, this went on for a while, with me already trying VERY VERY hard not to dissolve into hysterical laughter (i realise i can't keep a straight face). Then matthew asked Ms Wee for her opinion, whether he looked more shuai "in the past" (with the picture not being him in the past, but rather of zhengyuan in the present), or more shuai now. *laugh* well. Let's just say Ms Wee managed to offend the real zhengyuan :) The whole class was in absolute hysterics, really. i was laughing so much, i started tearing *grinses*

I miss rgs. But i'm getting used to rj. Bio pract today was an interesting experience, reminding me of the times in rgs when val and i would get into all sorts of trouble during practs, and "eeks" and "arghhhh" being heard intermittently throughout the whole pract (most of it coming from us). Unfortunate as it was today for my friend, with the whole beaker of boiling water "jumping" over the lab table (seriously it did! i saw it fall without anyone moving it at all!), it reminded me of fun times we had in practs before.

Music does things to us that words can't. It is therefore of my opinion that all guys should be able to play an instrument well, and i do mean WELL, especially either the piano, the violin or the sax. It's the way to a girl's heart for sure. Gone are the days where a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers will suffice. sheesh. i don't know what point i'm making here *laugh* but valentine's day is approaching! (and so does my upcoming failure in the aquathelon or whatever it's spelled as)

hmm. just noticed how long my posts used to be, and how short they are now.

but there really isn't much to say nowadays *grinses* No more scandals of the past, where we'd have at least one thing to talk about each day, no competitions coming up to rant about, nothing except tutorials and more tutorials that are simply too baffling (for me) to attempt *glares at blank physics tutorial*

Then again, SRP is certainly something to look towards too. praying hard that i'll get in, but what are the chances of that when my proposal is still fully empty? :) heh. applicants beware though :) SRP is really an SDU-thing in disguise: "During the 2-week full-time mentorship attachment in June, the students have the opportunity to live on-campus in a community with others of similar intellect, interests and aspirations. Here the student learns to live with his/her fellow SRPians and to adapt to a community that is relatively structured and restrictive and yet encouraging of independent decision making. A group of counsellors, comprising research assistants and former SRPians, provide supervision and lead social and recreational activities. During the day, the students work intensively on their projects and in the evenings, they are encouraged to participate in social and recreational activities. Highlights of the stay-in include tennis and dancing lessons, art illustration sessions, computer workshops and an innovation evening where students pit their creative problem-solving skills against each other. "

well. having said that, i might just have encouraged more people to apply for it. :)

I wish the world was a less self-centred place to be in. I wish that everyone could care about how others feel. I wish everyone would avoid doing things that might hurt others' feelings. but it's only a wish.
