I was reading some zodiac forecast for the new year, for people born in the year of tiger (me).
it says:
1)There is a high chance that i may meet with an accident.
2)Monetary investments will not deliver much returns.
3)There will be a lot of distractions in my studies.
4)The road to love will be bumpy. need to be tactful. try to take it easy.
In other words, i think it means to say that the year of the dog is utterly unfortunate in every aspect.
Darn.
And i was taking cab back home the same day when the presenter was reading out 4-D results over the radio. the driver seemed unusually tensed. when the presenter reached the 1st prize.... "5 6 0 ...." the driver suddenly shouted : " 6!!" very excitedly. i was stunned by that sudden burst of exclamation. then the presenter goes "6", and the car swerved slightly for a moment. oh my gosh (refer to no. 1).
Perhaps i bring wealth to those around me since i would not be getting much myself (refer to no. 2). the taxi-uncle ended up giving me a 30-cent discount for the cab fare, to round up the figure, when he himself won a few thousand dollars. well done.

Oh boy i'm so busy with other stuff outside studies these days, i feel like i'm just a part-time student. tutorials? got time then do loh. i got much more pressing things to do. arghh!! how can liddat?
What i should be doing now: study and study and study and study.
What i am doing now: painting banners, selling ice cream and other chapalang, sourcing for sponsers, rushing to print and put up posters, going around publicising and promoting and selling tickets, endless meeting ---> all for hall production
Learning up songs, cracking my brain on how i should teach the songs, organising sectionals, conducting sectionals, going for practices ---> all for choir
Skiving off my duties in kr volunteers.
Stopped going for soccer trainings altogether.
Aiya... what to do. it's hard trying to juggle hall activities plus studies plus a relationship. but i'm happier juggling than having nothing in my hands at all.
I was photocopying some notes at the library with James yesterday when i picked up a cashcard crediting about $71! whoa! i was really tempted to keep it. seriously, who wouldn't? we're not kids anymore, the devil had long infested our innocent little minds.
But of cos, me being a nice girl wouldn't keep a cashcard with $71. if it's $7.10 instead, i just might.
While typing this, i'm trying to learn a Samoan song that goes minoi minoi minoi pei o se loi.
The translation of the entire song goes like this.
Move, move like an ant when you dance,
Swaying from side to side,
Dipping into rich coconut cream,
As sweet as baked fruit.
Ah, my pigeon,
Crying out to me,
I wish you could keep dancing like that,
So move, move, move my darling.
What kinda song is this huh?? meaningless as it is, quite fun to sing it still.
Did you click on the link in my last post? if you haven't, please go back and click it! everyone you HAVE to see it at least once.

Check this out. for ages people have been hooting along with the chicken little mai-a-hi song in an unknown alien-like language. we could have been singing vulgarities for all you know.
Well it's actually romanian. they're not vulgarities. some kind dude decided to translate the lyrics for the rest of us earthlings.
Click here for lyrics.
Gee. i never expected the song to mean anything anyway.

I noticed my little blog hasn't been about my life. they're just random thoughts. people who've been reading for a year still do not know who i am. so perhaps from now on i will start blogging about my daily grind.
Nice cool morning we have today. woke up at a freakin 7am for an ECONOMETRICS class. now doesn't that sound pro. fell asleep midway class and woke up when class ended, went back to hostel to sleep again, and woke up for lunch. went back to hall, read about samurai and the Tokugawa system. the Tokugawas who gained power in Japan since the 1600s and shaped the way Japan is today. that was the most interesting piece of information that i've read since school started. really, not being sacarstic. i like japanese studies. you'll appreciate it very much when all you've been doing in school is diffentiations and natural ln and solving equations and statistics in economics plus singapore history.
Was supposed to sell ice-cream during dinnertime but it all melted due to a faulty freezer which was SPONSORED.
MYSTIQUE HAIR STUDIO seems all out to work with us to sponsor hair-styling services for hall production. (side note: i am a BUSINESS EXECUTIVE for hall production. now doesn't that sound pro again.) yipee. nice guy, the director is. i love talking to him. maybe i'll go to him for my own hair services. it's at kovan. blk 203. see it pays to be nice.
So no ice-cream tonight. went on to paint banners and painted my hands as well. had choir comm meeting. read more Tokugawa. talked to don on the phone. read.
And here i am blogging.
Shucks i can't do it. my life's just boring. what lousy entry. i'll try to make future ones more interesting.
On a side note, i have to keep reminding myself that the ever-ready dalvir singh got a CAP of 5.0 and he's not a foreign scholar or anything like that. plus, with 4 A+ as if As are not enough. so, i'm now thinking, if he can do it so can i (in the adam khoo way). i could get 5.0 with JUST 5 As. i do not need any A+.

More and more earrings!! omg!!
These are so tiny and cute.
Kinda blurrr huh.
Looks vintage.
This was designed by me and trudi. i left look right look... the more i look at it the weirder it seems. i dunno what's wrong with this (or me).
I'm really quite boliao.
I recently stumbled upon someone's blog. she was someone i know, but not on a personal level. it was disturbing. she was describing her emotions so explicitly, i could almost feel her pain. in fact. i had felt that sort of pain before, she went through everything that i did.... and more. but i'm glad that mine's over now.
Every single day she blogged explicitly about her exasperation... her frustration... her depression... and i thought she was somehow self-mutilating by lingering around and even blogging down such emotions... But the worst part was i discovered that i was somehow involved in her self-mutilating process... i never knew.
Sorry for being kaypo, but i had to keep reading, searching to see whether further entries contained me again.
I could see that she's gradually healing now. glad for her. =)

A friend blogged that singlehood ain't easy, it's tough. and the decision leading to it is tougher.
I personally didn't think that singlehood is tough at all. unless if you've become so used to attachedhood. but the decision leading to it sure is. not that i've experienced it before. but i could imagine. if you think it's tough, you must still love her. the decision to leave someone whom you love must be painful.
I used to feel terribly resentful. i hadn't thought of it for ages until tru reminded me again. my resentment.
I didn't understand why i didn't understand how. there wasn't any reasonable explanation. there were problems. loads of it apparently, which i knew nothing about. i felt incredibly foolish. i felt he was even more foolish. it was a silly affair. both of us were young and immature and we knew nothing about love. not to mention how to maintain a relationship.
More than a year has passed. i wouldn't say i've attained a high level of maturity but i've certainly grown wiser. it was long before i was ready to step into another relationship. undoubtedly still terrified. but i was no longer the naive little girl who thinks love is fluffy pink clouds amongst the blue sky. no longer shallow and short-sighted. (i hope. =P)
I'm beginning to understand more reasons. how you'd keep problems to yourself so as not to burden the other party. how you'd want to keep her happy in expense of your own happiness. and to that my resentment weaned. i was wrong i was foolish i was wilful i was childish i'm sorry.
But even more i hope that i can do better this time. =)
I hate feeling resentful. it felt ugly. it makes you forget the good times and dwell on the bad. over the year i had tried to disregard it but it's so hard. i'm still ugly, although not as much as before.
To a little miss pretty, kai xing jiu hao! haha... must pride yourself for having so many good friends. next time you pass by kent ridge hall don't need to miss me! can come up and look for me haha i also very lonely sometimes. if you not happy can always go and talk to 'books' (ahem) haha!

Happy 2006! =D
New year's eve was a boring day. i wasn't out there playing overnight mahjong with the khakis. neither was i squeezing myself against people out there counting down. i was just, at home. with my mum. and the 2 babies. playing Stronghold 2. it was great.
Sir William is my knight in shiny armour.
Don went out with the scouts. i had to admit that i felt kinda lonely lah. aiya but then how. i didn't wanna go to joel's house (haha) to rub shoulders with strangers. towards 12am i was watching 'Hollow man' for the 3rd time at least, and i lamented at myself for being such a lame loser. right then i almost convinced myself that new year's eve is just another day. nothing special. i shall not think of it as any day more special than any day else anymore. (sigh)
Hehe then don came over at 2355 just to countdown with me. whew! suddenly new year's eve became special again!
On new year's day i was playing Stronghold again. and on every new year's day i had to remind myself that school is starting soon. bleh! i guess it's time to start getting used to resuming our own busy lives and not having him around now.
