Digressing again..

I signed up for a coupla internships, offered to students by BBa career services..Some were pretty prestigious, and all that I signed up for were like the more reputable ones..still got no reply after two weeks..which means it should be anytime now til one month later according to ter. actually was quite worried i mightn't get thru to any.. BUt on the other hand i'm really reluctant to give up one month of my holidays away!

After a seemingly endless vacation working for FWOC and yet another tedious semester, it feels as if i've yet to have a break to breathe.. Thinking of what i could do with the time excites me! Was listening to someone's itunes, and found a whole collection of F.Chopin's pieces! and they happen to be the ones uncle pritt was playing--he's always got me super impressed and itching to work on the pieces myself!! I've already half decided that if i get to have the month of holidays all to myself, I'd dedicate it to piano three times a week and touch three times a week!!

Gosh i'm so excited already. Now i don't even noe if i receive news about my internship whether to be happy or not. Well. anyways i've just drifted off from work again! It's always this period of time studying for exams when i get snatches of inspiration of what i wanna do during the holidays..haha aw man. I better concentrate.

Peenk n Bloo~ WOot!

Pink n blue just ended!!! with a really nice splash, i should say. Alright alright, the blues were more or less in e lead, but we got back at them!! haha almost everyone who had been participating participated, and i guess we all had a real good time, both the blues n e pinks..

it was really a satisfying finale! got bluffed out of my room to save teddy who was caught after baby, and obviously we all got we were ambushed and forced into the fifth floor toilet where a water and soap and whatever-we-could-grab-to-attack war was engaged..haha it was damn fun lar in e end!! everyone jzu got wet and soapy and although we wasted a whole lot of water enough to feed africa, i think it was a reawlly good bonding session indeed!

it was just hilarious the way everyone was reacting at that moment..marc, trying to get soap out of his ears n eyes n hair, while getting colgated by teddy, rizal, the freaking jcrc president who claimed ABSTAIN who was like in the heart of the fight--who was ridiculous in the pair of goggles he conjured out of nowhere, started flicking this disgusting purple old knickers at people and manhandling all the girls haha(i bet he was enjoying himself), Baby, who was looking unbelievably cute holding this yellow dustbin of water which was leaking, the girls, all taking revenge on any male beside them---it was just this moment of madness, people armed with pails n soaps n shampoo n screaming and shushing all at the same time, filling and splashing and smearing..and we were having so much fun, it was as if the kid in us broke loose at the chance to play with water.. the war was like stopped and started like at least three times!! and it continued again on the seventh floor, ending with Tat *ahemcough-wuss*. hahhaaha freaking funny.

lol Cblock is love lah. we is friendly people. heh had an awesome time tonite, even if i had been a tad inactive thru all the other pranks..fab finale lah, nice start to my muggin'! aiyoh so anti-climax. hurhur can't wait for e pics and vids to be up!! :))

Interpersonal effectiveness from a book? I doubt.

Just finished my 40% MCQ exam!! was pretty much a breeze, since me, sis, J, A and R sat tog and we practically had an open discussion during the entire exam! haha its like the funniest ever, cos we were almost blatantly copying and shooting comments like, "confirm answer A ah, confirm?" and "dunno lah left side say A leh" and then we just tikam. hurhur..hope we all get B+ and above!!

It was just crazy lah, everyone sat side by side and after 15mins some ppl started handing in their scripts and walked out of e LT.. man. i really dunno if those ppl are planning to S/U this mod or what. It wasn't THAT easy.. but the lecturer really has no control over the crowd nor has any effectiveness cos seriously, today was the only day this many ppl turned up for this module..even tutorials are of 0% weightage!

anyhoos, got ge and t.hui and sis to go for ichiban boshi dinner tonite! it's like e first time we're like eating out tog as a foursome without dad n ma cos they're like in korea like right now.. I think ge was like thinking it was abit odd and was asking whats the occasion but well bonding larh..since i'm single now anyways and what better time than now to bond no? (: A short break before i start muggin for the exams! hope ma's enjoying herself in korea now tho. if i hadn't had today's test i'd have flown with dad too! miss the hot spicy food and winter atmosphere there..

gee i'm hungry. haha kays time to study!

Caught stardust! Had a happily ever after ending..my kinda ending! (: haven't caught a show like that for ages..pretty satisfying! Was a much-needed fairytale to pull me back from reality--which is currently getting a little dreary--sighs if only life was a fairytale~

By the way, Christmas is approaching!! saw the harold angels and deer ornaments put up at vivo already..i smell it coming! Really feeling the tinge of anticipation, except this year, it probably won't be a romantic white Christmas for me..yeah.it won't. well, but i can go present shopping again w e gals! We'll have emmie back for xmas!! i think. hmm i guess spending my fav festival at home watching x-massy serials and cartoons would be really nice too. yay deck the halls w cinnamon donuts and choc truffles. can't wait can't wait.

meanwhile..muggin for exams! wanna go overseas for sep!!

Aw man. pink and blue's been a crazy affair here in my blk these few days.. RAwr u blues!

My grandad, the strongest man in the world.

I haven't visited my grandad for near two weeks..about a month ago he got admitted to hospital, and hasn't been back home since. It just feels weird coming home and not seeing him on the rocking chair facing e tv, nor having him ask about how's school or where's sis..

It's probably uber lonely being in hosp, even if amah does visit everyday.. I really can't begin describe how i feel. it's just this little wave of sadness i feel when i think about how he must feel, like how much he wants to be back home with all of us, and how much he knows that probably his time might be up soon, and how much he probably wants to say to us, but can't.

The last time we visited, he looked so much skinnier--a little man in a mass of white sheets, with tubes and tape snaking his wrists and nose--we tried to talk to him, communicate whatever topic we thought most relevant to him as best as we could in our broken chinese-cum-dialect, yet the four of us, when left surrounding his bedside, could go no further than "how're u feeling? School's fine, Exams are round the corner", and were left stranded for words, as much as ahkong probably was, the generation gap too large to fill the slight awkwardness as we stood around, waiting for the adults to return and start the conversation.

The best i could do was to stroke and hold his large brown hands, hopefully attempting to convey through body language that we still care and we don't think he's a burden and that we hope he's feeling much better.. he tried to act indifferent and strong, but i saw the panic and dread of loneliness flash in his eyes when amah told him she was leaving with us for dinner, and my heart broke at his slip of fragility..i just hate it that we can't do anything but stand around and watch as the health slips away from him

in the two weeks past being caught up in school work and all, i'd still kept him in my prayers every night..i think i should visit him tomo. bring that plushie i promised myself i'd bring so he gets some company on lonely nights..hopefully as dad says, we could take him around to get some fresh air, even if he has to take a wheelchair. i don't recall ahkong truly smiling for a very long time now.. i hope, at the very least, he spends every moment as happy as he can, and know that he's loved and that we know he loves us, as much as there's been a lack of expression..

And then i just pray amah stays strong, that the lack of companionship does not leave her jaded for life but spurs her on to truly find something to do--that she starts to realise how fast life can come and go, and so she should live it fruitfully and know the meaning of being being old yet young at heart.

i hope they know, i hope they're happy, despite the circumstance..

the day we kidnapped a ghost!

Caught up with s41 on saturday..a belated bday celeb for baowei, followed by the usual s41 laze and chatter til midnight. It felt good really, turnout was fab again, fifteen of us this time--and little has changed since near half a year ago..We rawk. totally!

Planned a kidnap for bao, which she didnt' suspect of until the kidnap itself..aiyo damn scared it would flop lah. Got marcus to be the kidnapper, and daryl was the flash driver. haha turned out to be more funny than scary..dang i swear i shoulda disappeared when the kidnapping was being carried out..hehs. anyway, we hung out at this quaint indo restaurant, villa bali, which was super ulu. Food n all were okay, cept that we became mosquito platter and couldn't really take it, so we headed over to Bnj's @ Dempsey road for dessert!

Caught up more w everyone..THe Guys--Ed, with his jokes and laughter that made his eyes disappear, Sean, who claimed he grew taller--like oh man what has diving done to him! Sam, still sarcastic and witty, Justin, who came in like the last time i saw him--in formal wear, yet still ahbeng in his own ways, daryl, one of the few i've seen ard most, revealing some of his newly acquired passion of phototaking, ZC, getting sportier w tennis n dragonboat n all, Dicky, a little out of touch w e rest at first then slowly blending in, Marcus, flashing his newfound baldness in every photo, and bobbY, who was..doggy? haha..
thE Gals--Ber, Shee SHar, who looked colourful and were still the ever bubbly trio, yc, laughin noisily as ever, and Bao, the bday gal, serenely laughing on..

It felt awesome laughing and spending time together, and even when moments when no one had anything to say, it was comfortable basking in each others company..Shar's invited all to Hari Raya next week!! can't wait to go to her pretty house again..bet e turnout'll be gd too. Pics up soon!

Godzilla and the great big dunk.

GodzilLa's Bday today!! coincidentally with dad's too.. We did a video for her and shouted a bday song over the edge of the third floor hall corridor to her in her room, holding giant placards and serenading with a trumpeteer and a guitar.

Of course, that's just the sweet part.. she got tied up and was hoisted to the Sheares pond where she was dunked into its murky depths!! lol which was damn gross muahaha. Well BUlu got his revenge after e shaving incident..hehs. but Zilla was drenched in tears(and sheares pondwater) after watching e video we did.. and i think she got a little Vernon surprise up in her room when she got back too! wasn't there, but i think it must've been hilarious! yupyup, Godzilla, u noe we love u so. hope you enjoyed your twentieth as much as we did! (:

Jason Mraz--You and i both

someday i'll find a guy who'll croon to me like this~~

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, finally out of words.

haha cool.
