The JCTs are over! :D But I'd most probably fail them anyway.



So Friday was celebrated with a lunch and movie with the girls and we watched Wanted. Well that movie was rated for a reason, I've always been rather squeamish regarding blood and gore. I actually liked the plot though. Now I want to watch all the comedies that are still playing in the cinemas!

I went to open a new bank account yesterday and there was this guy working at the counter who cannot stop smiling. Is that how he gets more people to open more accounts?

You know how people always say they love you? What does that even mean? Do they do what they think is best for you, or let you do whatever you please? Sometimes I end up talking to people I don't consider friends because they seem to understand what I'm going through instead.

I will give my left limb to see Jason Mraz live.

Yesterday Papa's car was banged by another car so now there's apparently a dent on the driver's door. I say apparently, because I haven't see the dent yet! So while he was bitching about the dent I told him to bang the other door so as to make it, you know, complete. Ha ha you don't want to know his response.

Okay, he just looked at me as if I were an idiot. Hee hee.

On a side note, I can't stop looking at my new phone! :D

Yesterday the AFS went out to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! :D Only 5 out of 8 of us were there, but it was still fun all the same.

So we met at Orchard station and started to walk the usual stretch of road while opening our eyes ha ha ha! :D Of course we were doing our favourite activity whilst being together, but we were accosted continuously, by the same guy, trying to sell us something/get us to donate/along those lines. It was quite funny though hee.

After lunch we continued our search, then finally went to Starbucks because it was scorching outside. We had tons of fun there! :D Spotted a target who was wearing a BALLACK 13 jersey and tried to take photos of said target ha ha! Stephie and Wee even went out to be near the target.

After that it was shopping! Saw more targets whilst shopping. It's cute how we would look knowingly at each other, then giggle and make faces.

I really miss UK! And I love all my AFS. :D It was so great meeting up like that, especially Germaine and Eunice because it seemed like forever! Both of them smelled me, and Eunice said I still smell the same ha ha ha.

I called Dell just now to ask for technical help, and now I think I'm in love with the technician's voice ha ha ha.

OH MY GOD I FINALLY CHANGED MY CELLPHONE ON SATURDAY! :D

Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
I said something on the surface
Really kind of makes me nervous
Who says that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
And the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your life with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

Well, I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Where they were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, with the minty fresh
Death breath sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me
'Cause if you gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

When I fall in love
I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun
but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why

Because

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end

I won't worry my life away
('Cause I won't and I won't and I won't worry my life away)

The Remedy (I Won't Worry) - Jason Mraz

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 for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm
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 read 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 to 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, deedeedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words

You and I Both - Jason Mraz

The next time you hang out with someone, be sure to grab their music player to browse their music libraries to see what kind of music the people around you listen to. :D

The Japanese do it on bicycles.

If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
I'll most probably either cry a river or scream my lungs out, then screw his best friend.

If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
I don't remember my dreams, but I want to fly and read minds.

What will your dream wedding be like?
Surrounded by people I love.

Are you hungry?
Not for food! HA HA HA.

What’s your ideal lover like?
Good in what that matters. :D Tall, intelligent, funny, and wears glasses.

Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Loving someone.

How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
I don't know? This kind of question is so enigmatic and kind of pointless.

Go crazy over some other hotter boys.

Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
College and people. Mostly college.

Is being in a college fun?
Hell no.

How do you see yourself in ten years time?
Hopefully alive, with lots of love and money.

Single and rich.

This is a retarded question!

What type of friends do you like?
Those who understand me.

What type of friends do you dislike?
I don't dislike my friends.

I'm happy to realise that I'm not suffering from any jet-lag (yes, Japan's only an hour later than Singapore) but I'm actually feeling rather fatigued. Nevertheless, I woke up early today to chat with Bro. One of the first things he said to me yesterday when we met at the airport was that he noticed that my fingernails are brown, and even though that was totally random and out of nowhere, I felt content that he noticed something so minor about me. :)

Japan was absolutely wonderful and fun (ignoring how we sat our butts off on the coach) despite that I was sans communication because of the lack of a working cellphone. On the day of departure the 28 girls and other people texted to say goodbye and I was really happy because I was remembered. It's the same whilst being in Japan; how Dodo sent e-mails everyday (there was also one from Mj) just to keep the communication going on. It's quite lovely actually, to know that someone actually thinks of you everyday even though you're somewhere far away and all.

To be honest, it was quite uncomfortable for me to be sans cellphone but I guess I managed to cope after all. Also it's sort of nice to be almost uncontactable because part of the reason why I chose to go overseas is escapism. As we all know escapism doesn't last forever unless it's death, and I really dreaded boarding the plane back. :(

*

The UK girls would be meeting on the 16th and I can't wait already! :D I haven't seen most of them in forever and this would be a good chance to catch up and reminisce about UK, et cetera. In a way Japan was sort of a reminder of UK, just with drastically different factors. The company, the teachers, the place, and it goes on.

*

And yes, I haven't start studying. Somehow I feel that I don't really prioritise academics like a student should; I merely treat it as a routine. Something necessary and just done because it should and has to be done.

Anyway, I'd most probably fail the JCTs horribly unless a miracle happens. I'll try to believe in it.

Hello heat and humidity!

I AM BACK FROM JAPAN! If I sound happy, I actually am not. :( Details will be posted up soon, including photos! Now all I want to do is to sleep, and all I need to do is to unpack.
