The morning
after Contracts result was released, Joel and I gave Pauline hell during
discussion as we tried to cope with our achievements.
Us:
Yalah, distinction thinking watt….
Pauline:
You guys are such bitches la.
And that’s
how we cope. Lol!
I
further extended that effort to Kah Yung and Alexie when I went to meet them.
Me:
*ranting about inferiority*
Alexie:
*stares at Kah Yung* Omg. What is she saying?
Eric:
She’s in a very dark place right now. Leave it. Everything she’s saying now is
just like “eeeeeee..” in my ears.
Alexie:
I think I see a piece of cloud above her head.
Me: *blablablablabluuhhh…*
Eric:
Eeeeeeeeee.. what? Can’t hear you. What is this humming?
And after
a final session of really loud ranting today, I finally decided to start
crawling out of my pit.
I guess
a good start to all this is by recollecting the happier moments of the day,
like today, when we played Articulate again. My team won! :D I realise I have
never lost in a game of Articulate before!
Pauline:
We talked about this the other day!! It’s like a gecko!
Us:
LIZARD! INSECT!
Them:
TIME!
Joel:
*looks at card* It’s a NEWT! A newt is NOT a gecko! IT’S AN AMPHIBIAN!!!!
*****
Joel:
The biggest animal in the world!
Pauline:
A whale!
Joel:
Okay, a what whale?
Pauline:
A WHITE WHALE!
Joel:
WHAT!? *loses interests in card* I WILL SLAP YOU! A WHITE WHALE!?!?
TIME!
Pauline:
Sorry, I confused myself between a white shark and a blue whale.
******
Me:
Erm… a penis is also called a…?
Them:
DICK!
Me:
Noo! More!!!
Ramya:
COCK! COCK!
Me:
Okay okay! Erm.. the bottom of a… hole!
Them:
*shouting some nonsense*
Me:
THE PLACE A PILOT SIT!
Ramya:
COCKPIT!
Me:
YES! *flips card* Blaine always wears a what? Around his neck!
Ramya
and Pauline: WHAT PLAIN!? FIELD! MORE! WHAT!?
TIME
Joel:
I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU ALL WERE SHOUTING NONSENSE!
*****
We
were all very, very excited and competitive when we played Articulate. Haha! Ramya
spilled like two cups of water and pretended nothing happened until our turn
was over. And we get free food so life was definitely good today.
I guess
when things just seem a little bit blurry, or when you get a sudden life
crisis, or when you are two marks away from the grade you desire, you just have
to take a step back and start again.
Yoke
told me if I don’t have the thing that I desire, it is only because I haven’t
tried hard enough. Apart from his tendency to analogise situations with a
basketball match, I totally agree with his point. So tomorrow, I will climb out
of my pit of self-pity.
Tonight,
I will drown myself in an episode of Glee and Grey’s Anatomy while enjoying
free chocolate mudcake for comfort. =)
