saturdays are booooring.
weekends are always sleeping times for me. slept the day away, what can i say? i need to catch up on one week's worth of sleep, and prepare for sleepless nights next week too.
oh and discovered a priceless treasure in school! chilled nescafe mocha coffee in a can! gosh..it's absolutely fabulous, in comparison to other kinds like those black bitter ones that i can never fanthom how people drink it and those XXX-3-in-one in small tiny sackets that come up liquidy and bland. totally in love with nescafe's mocha and vanilla frothe argh...addiction! :)
sitting at the back of the TS' rooms are very comfortable, as i've recently realised. you can lean back against the wall, stretch your legs out to the chair in front of you, and it's really conducive for last-minute-studying of chinese tests during maths tutorial (like it happens every fri). very conducive for sleep as well, as i realised to my horror. almost, almost fell asleep during lao shi's class on friday, not that it wasn't interesting (her lessons always are), but the aircon and the weather and the chair was just too good to resist :) hah now to analyse how to take a short short nap without the teacher realising at all *grinses*
another thing i realised: i can't really study in school. sitting in the canteen that day, trying to study chemistry, and seeing people doing their TYS, be it chem or maths or physics is downright depressing..i mean, they've already started doing TYS when i've just started reading my notes again?? argh...at this rate, i'll either have to close my eyes and do work to avoid seeing them, or go home and study. sheeesh. but canteen would be a great place IF not for the depressing scene in front of my eyes :)

monday unblue :)
school was fun today, as usual :) rosie's birthday today, happy birthday rosie! :) 3L bought a cake for her, and because we didn't celebrate my birthday on the day itself cos of the trip to france, they got me to join her and celebrate too *beam* thanks rosie for letting me zhan1 ni3 de4 guang1 and thanks 3L...cake was great, you guys are even greater for remembering...don't really care that it's belated, it's the thought that counts, and it's the thought that makes me happy really...didn't even need the cake actually...just a "happy belated birthday" wish made my day :) birthday in france was quite sadly miserable, but this made up for it loads thanks *beams*
well can't think of anything else i did today that's worth mentioning actually. oh yes, guitar skills are sadly lacking and deproving day by day. attempted to play it today, but besides the basics, can't remember much anymore sheesh. must start practising soon, after promos maybe. haha then again, that's what i always say but never get down to doing. :)
kbox! karaoke! whatever it is, i'm set on going on the fri we end bio paper or the mon that the poor econs people have to go to school but we don't for *muahahah* :) and shopping! 50 borders voucher to spend *serene in heaven*

school school school tomorrow! *beams*
wish i could say i accomplished a lot over the weekend, but unless you count catching up on one week's worth of sleep "a lot", i didn't do a thing except..argh sheesh, can't think of a single thing...*sheepish* seriously, rate of work done at home is super slow, should study in school more. accomplished much more the other day sitting in the canteen doing work :)
3 weeks! can't wait for it to be over, so that's 4 weeks. haha i think we're all going a bit bonkers. yihan, shane and i broke out in song the other day at the end of chinese class, sun yan zi's "wo3 bu4 nan2 guo4" with lao shi pleading with us to stop singing that particular song. (at least, i'm hoping it was the song she was objecting to and not our voices *laughs*) must definitely go for karaoke session after promos..shall ask in school tmr :) oh dears...is it too early to start planning for post-promos activities since there's still PW and all? ah what the heck, can't wait :)
oh and yay thanks shuwan for putting up the lyrics :) they're quite similar to the one i wrote out myself, but hehe some parts are so different it's hilarious *grinses* still trying to figure out the cantonese version though, so difficult especially since i don't understand a word of chinese sighs. shall burn it on a cd and bring it to school and ask around for who can translate *grinses*
ooh. "the haunting" in 45 minutes. don't know why i insist on torturing myself by watching scary movies and then being unable to sleep for a week or so properly. must be my sadomasochistic nature *laughs*

break!
woohoo weekend is here, but strangely, can't wait for monday to come again. Perhaps it's all the fun i've had over the past week in school that makes me wish it was monday again. still, that withstanding, the break is greatly needed. need to sleep more, yang3 jing1 xu4 rui4 and prepare for battle next week. oh and speaking of battle, hah! i've decided to declare war after the 2-nil defeat i suffered today, first the water bottle (gosh i can't believe i fell for it yet again! one bitten, thrice not shy sheesh *grinses*) and then the sneaky pounce on me behind my back, that got me shouting out such that the half the canteen turned to see what this crazy girl was doing. hehe so embarrassing. watch out and beware!! *grinses*
*beam* finally caught up with 3/4 months of undone chinese homework yesterday! finished all the past exercises in blue book yesterday after i was stranded in school until 7, and the very-efficient lao3 shi4 marked all of those exercises (abt 10 in all) in less than an hour, along with the whole class' work. amazing. pei4 fu2 de wu2 ti3 tou2 di4. :)
physics lecture today was probably the only lecture i've really understood since the start of this year. perhaps it's a good sign, or perhaps it's just that there wasn't any calculations at all today. :)
haha hope shuwan puts up lyrics on her blog soon =p

i'm totally in love
with laserjet printers! *grinses* printed out my finally-can-be-considered-quite-done SRP report at the lab using the wonderful printers there, and the whole thing looks fantastic and professional! argh i want one too. hrmph.
urgh. french oral exam dates came out today, and i'm the first person on the list doing presentation. ahhhh...
was in a state of wooziness today/yesterday because of lack of sleep, but managed to get through the whole day which fortunately ended at 1.10! yay =] gonna nod off any moment now, but tons of things left to do, like the 25 extra zao4 gu4 i have to do cos i forgot to bring blue book the other day argh. shuwan, i'm totally sympathetic to your plight, and mine too :)
"曾经沧海难为水, 除却巫山不是云."
totally addicted to this phrase :)

physics and maths lectures were the fun-nest lectures i had in a long time :) all due to my poor listening ability, mishearing rosie saying "sweater" for something, erm, totally different. *censored* of course, with shane overhearing what i had misheard, the next half of the lecture was spent erm, well, indulging in verbal, erm, wordplay on a particular theme? *laughs* and it didn't help when physics with mr lee started, and he was explaining about the stationary waves experiment. totally cracked both of us up again...haha luckily was sitting at the side, if not would have gotten glares from mr lee *grinses* ah well..no one probably understands what i'm saying here, so :)
sighs. was supposed to go for movie today with shuwan and yihan but i couldn't make it cos of SRP, and they had to cancel too. darn. feel guilty, and i really wanted to watch too. sighs. seems like the next time we go watch movie will be after promos? such a sad existence, but fret not! only 3 weeks and 5 days to go argh.
GP movie was weird. i can't believe they sentenced him to death. i thought the verdict should have been rather clear in favour of acquital, but NO, they hanged the poor guy. thought the judge was totally biased too, saying that if they didn't convict him, it would be the equivalence of saying that the policemen giving their statement were consummate liars. appalled at such a decision, appalled that it occured in real life, appalled that they didn't take all the factors into account before making a founded decision.

maf
went for maf yesterday...and i think i understand the hype about it. it isn't really the celebrations itself that makes it stand out from other occasions, but it's just really all the ex-hwa chong people gathering together again. which meant that it was a bit weird for an rj person to be there, and it didn't feel totally right either. but luckily, met my classmates shuwan, yihan, kaihan and emilia there! *beams* we didn't have much to do, not many people to see, so shuwan, yihan, kaihan and i just went to the nice and quiet canteen and sat down and talked...talked about movies that we watched (darn i didn't know yihan wanted to watch turn left turn right too lah sheesh), movies that we were going to watch on tues (*beam* even though i shouldn't be going out already, but still heck), their sec 3(?) chinese teacher who sounded super funny *grinses* and other stuff. agree with yihan that talking to all of you people was the highlight of the whole event, and highlight of my day in fact :) and yes, i guess i agree that "ju4", the theme for maf, was successful for us too. although we see each other almost everyday, we hardly get the time to sit down and chat right? :) can't wait for tues to watch legally blond! i want to watch sinbad too though hmm...
come to think of it...met loads of people at hc actually. loads of rj people, that is *laughs* everywhere i turned, i saw a familiar face. and it was great when people i knew by face but never knew they knew me and thus never talked to in RJ would come up and say hi happily, yonghe for example. i think it's only when we're thrown into an unfamiliar place with so many unfamiliar faces that we do that, so yeah, that was great too :)
sighs. been enjoying myself too much actually, that i really feel totally guilty about it. went for maf yesterday, mahjong session with extended family today the whole day, point is i didn't do anything related to work these past 2 days, nor did i do much the whole hols. and others are like going out with study groups to study for promos, or staying at home and doing effective revision, while i'm still planning to go out again on tues. argh.

冻结
不小心回到那一天 不小心一切又重演
你如此完美的一切 竟会出现在我的世界
你说话不爱说第二遍 但偏在情人节那一夜
给我你心爱的项链 说了三次对我的爱恋
我那时糊涂 不明白为何你会哭
后知后觉以后 领悟
冻结那时间
冻结初遇那一天 冻结那爱恋
冻结吻你那瞬间 我也会疲倦
你的项链 在我身边 带我穿梭回从前
冻结那空间 冻结有你的世界 冻结那画面
冻结不让它溶解 我若是疲倦 你的项链
在我身边 发光在我胸前 你的项链
在我身边 陪伴著我过每一天

left? right? watching the show was definitely the right decision :)
woohooo :) just came back from watching xiang4 zuo2 zou3 xiang4 you4 zou3...it was so sweet and nice! *beam* especially since i hadn't read the book before, so everything was a surprise to me :) my absolute favourite part was the photos part, just so unbelievable and all (well considering it's fiction it should be, but still *grin*), so yeah, a great 1 hr 40 mins :) sighs..absolutely loved it, and the songs from there are great too, especially the gigi leung one in cantonese. don't understand it though *sheepish*, hopefully can someone to translate for me :)

been back for a few days, too busy catching up with work to post about anything, so shall leave it to yet another day.
*
it seems like yesterday we were all together, enjoying ourselves together, going out for movies together, eating lunches and dinners together, blogging together. yet it seems so long ago at the same too. and it seems further and further away with each day. can we really say we're not drifting? can we really say we have maintained the same quality of friendship we used to have with one another, and that we had hoped to continue having with one another? perhaps it's just the stress of workload now, perhaps it's just distance, or perhaps it's just me. perhaps it's just me imagining that we've all changed, perhaps it's me who has changed and everyone else hasn't, or perhaps it's just reality that forever isn't forever anymore. if that's the case, what's forever for?
so many other things i want to say, i need to say, but can't say. feeling a little lost and bewildered right now, need to do some soul-searching and find out what's so wrong with me that...
i'm not depressed. really i'm not. just confused. a little sad too i guess. but life has its ups and downs, and i guess this is one down time. yet happy with lots of other things. little little fun happenings in class cheering me up, making me forget, helping me through. and it helps, it really helps. when i first stepped into the class in march, must admit to feeling lost and out-of-place. but now, it feels totally different. really enjoy attending lectures and tutorials with all of you, groaning about horrible impossible workloads together with you, and yes, hiding at the back of the classroom trying to finish undone homework (and often, unsuccessfully doing so). love ya 3L, really do :)
perhaps it's just time to remember, reminisce, treasure, cherish and move on.
