tian kong/

before i begin writing notes for dear juniors, whom i am to officially handover to around this time tomorrow..cant help but keep reflecting on the last 1 half plus years or so of my time in zhongwenxuehui...in jc... in hwachong...

haha. there is really no way of summing it up in a few paragraphs. all thats happened. all that we've been thru.

或许只能用百干交集四个字来形容此刻的心情吧.

muahahah that is gonna form one line of mi speech tmr. which is supposed to stretch for 15 minutes. my goodness. i have no idea what sk and me will resort to doing as the 26's disappear to get some business(cheeky, i presume)sorted out.

gosh does that sound cliche?
hahah. i cant make speeches for nuts. sigh.

dont think i should launch into a narrative of all those old times at the moment lol.
just thought i'd say, its been quite a ride, really. :)

他们又来到这似曾见过的交叉路口
/那天她配了一幅新隐形眼镜
他问她要怎么作选择
/她记得戴起来时本来好象有点痛
她还是忘了她当初是怎么选择
/后来渐渐不再感觉痛(或是已分不清痛与享受的滋味)
只知道世界后来添了几分色彩
/隐形眼镜让她感觉脱胎换骨

(也许是仰头望太阳太久了
/隐形眼镜开始破裂)

现在前后左右有什么.
/近视加深了,
她什么都看不见.
/原来那痛还在.

feeling really drained these past few days i dont know why.
foresee that next week's gonna be even worse.
tests are pouring in like crazy.
"In" tray for homework continues to pile up.

haha like what's new right.
hope everyone's coping okay..

with so little time, guess we just have to take pleasure in the smallest things.
even if they'd be as small as this juicy little longan i'm chewing on right now. (part of my daily after dinner fruit snack)

=)

..............

so excited bout hui qing tmr. yet also a tad bit worried about my speech which has yet to take form...

hais.

hais.

starting to believe this is the year where i earn more p.h.d.s than i can ever dream of laying my hands on.

haha.

yikes.

lets see which ones i've got under my belt so far, in order received.
it kicked off with..Post Huangcheng Depression.
then i met with...Post Holidays Depression (also known as the Block Test Syndrome).
later crashed head on with...Post Haitunwan Depression.

now, i officially declare myself landed in a...Post Harry Potter Depression...

WaHhHHhhhHhHh....

the ending was chao sad...
the fact that i wont be finding out what happens later, wont be reading about them, wont be part of their adventure... until ONE WHOLE YEAR later is chao sad...

s i g h.

it seems harry's been my main source of comfort and happiness these days..
been quite an otherwise dreary two weeks of school.
seems the only reply to the question "How's school?" u can get from anyone these days is one reeally longgg groooan.

doesnt help that i've been feeling increasingly irritable and somewhat short-tempered..

with so many things happening around..at home.. in the world..
really wish sometimes i can just stop being scornful bout everything.
somehow its just been a little hard to..
these days.

turning into some old scrooge before i know it.

/everything in its own time.

nice little saturday morning. cooling breeze that came with the slight drizzle..

rushed off straight after school yest... to my big sista's convocation!! =) -beams-
haha yes being the Non-Parent, i was not given an official invite.. but yay she managed to get a ticket for me! haha so funny. the organisers released free tickets one hour before the event... haha. like some concert.

reached ntu.. the weather was sad. cannot take nice nice photos under the dark skies..haha but at least there were some.

for the day, one could say i was temporary Employed. postion was Sister's Bag Carry-er, Photographer cum Errand Runner. she had to stop almost every five steps she took on the way to the auditorium man. friends all over the place..hahaha. perfect carlsberg spokesperson.erps.

kk shall talk bout the ceremony..
it was a pretty solemn occasion. quite amazed there was only ONE speech! hee. expected such events to be full of them. would mostly remember myself clapping. and clapping. and clapping. haha. so many graduates!!! my sister was no. 338, of HER degree alone. so yeah clap clap clap for everybody.. =D

yay. after the ceremony.. my parents and i just hung around waiting for our Da Xiao Jie as she made her rounds taking photos everywhere... hahaha..

waited. and waited. wondering around the school compounds on my own. ntu is really a pretty nicely designed place..=) nicer than nus. =X (shhhhH)

til we ended up at Changi Airport(familiar spur-of-the-moment tendencies at work dont u think) at 10. for dinner.. haha. so exciting. the airport was freezing man. but we had great dinner at the 24h food court :) me and my big sis (the fresh graduate) were having fun playing jap tourists("ano...") and taiwanese tourists("kan qi lai hao hao chi orh!") alternately as we made our food orders.. lol.. =D

yay. so ended a really long day.

************
AHhHH.. HARRY POTTER's out today. today!! -bounces about- been waiting for soo longgggg....excuse me as i make a sprint for the nearest bookshop. -beams-

feel like telling u people bout my neighbourhood today.

so u all know i live in this little new neighbourhood called Sengkang. established less than 10 years ago. relatively undeveloped. ulu. clean.

quiet.

well, most of the time.

cos u see, Sengkang, is a young neighbourhood. literally.
largely occupied by young families, young couples, newly-weds, and of course... their young children.

energetic, active, bubbly, perpetually excited, nice leetle children.

til the adults get upset with them. (and boy do they show it.)
the kids unleash a vocal prowess one never knew existed...

its a regular occurence in my neighbourhood. coming from all corners. neighbours on the floor above mine, neighbours next door, neighbours from the opposite block.

furious barking that sets off tremendous waaaaaaails which subsequently permeate the entire estate...

=P

hahahaha.

i'd very much like to adhere to govt policies. but in my nice little neighbourhood, child-raising really does appear like a hair-raising experience.

hahaha. :)

and this is my nice little neighbourhood.

Here at Sengkang, We Welcome You.

heehee.

kk gtg now pple. have a greeat weekendddd!

close your eyes.

heyhey..=)

after countless dizzy days and nasty nights, battling mugging fatigue and insomnia, i tasted the rejuvenating air of freedom as i stepped out of the school, and into the sunlight on Wednesday.

haha.woohoo. we pulled thru people. amazing.

=)

at 12 plus the (big) bunch of us bummed around lido, trying to eat real slow or talk a lot as we frantically searched for ways to make time fly til 4 o' clock so that mavis' art history paper could be over in an instant and we could all then bounce happily into the cinema and watch jay chou.

=)

lol. before we knew it, we were done eating and ran out of ideas for what to do the next instant. as they almost always do, all the speculating lead nowhere. cept that we almost ended up at changi airport. hahaha. one could say that the Irrational notions were successfully supressed by the majority. ;)

then bowling was suggested. and the party got moving! yay!
we later discovered there was no longer a bowling alley at cine...=(
heard xuefen and co. then just went to jalan-jalan..:)

meanwhile, i found myself in the cinema, next to jinjing, vinz, yinday, kanghao...the very last row of it to be exact..ahaha..watching War of the Worlds. :)

haha.. hmm i'm having some mixed feelings towards the movie. actually thought it was really a hi-quality flick as i watched it.. but was partially swayed by the opinions of jinjing and vinz.. hahaha..

i thought the effects, the directing was good..the acting too:) tom cruise is really captivating as an actor..

being the scaredy-cat that i am i was genuinely spooked by the aliens and all.. but according to popular(vinz+dayday+jing) opinion.. they're actually really quite funny.. and the little girl's incessant screaming was much scarier. lol. i think both were equally distressing.

haha. yay. then met up with the rest of the gang at wisma coffee club express to await the arrival of dear mavis. :)

sitting in the comfy little centre portion of the cafe with the sofas and all..
conspiring ways to validate our projected absence from school the next day...*wink*

yep so the rest of the day was spent completing the last lap of my movie marathon...
Initial D...here we come! :)

haha its an act cool flick lah. haha..but really enjoyable..filmed on location in a chic town and gorgeous valleys of Japan.. the movie's got sleek racing.. handsome drivers..oh-so-cool jay...oh-so-melt-inducing edison..really charming anthony wong who wowed me with his acting and impeccable comedic timing..:)

didnt quite get the car specs parts though. haha. bout the mps. and suspensions and engine capacities and all. hahaha. but i could feel the sincerity of the directors in trying to stay true to the spirit of the comic.. =) all in all..i merely had a great time..whether it was gushing and laughing with the gang.

my first movie marathon and i felt really proud of it.. grins. though a bit of heartache as well, cos its *poof* and 14 bucks flies out the window. my fellow movie-marathoner jinjing survived in one piece too though at the expense of her beautiful voice. said she was then going to be suited for ah-sang's songs.

haha i really dunno what happened in the cinema. the change was really drastic. pretty amusing too the whole thing haha. guess we could only blame it on the laopok ice in the sugar cane juice from tangs ba. or on the breath-taking good looks of the leads in Initial D. *grins* hope she gets well soon! in time for her stint on 933 on saturday! sho exciting =)=) folks folks, dont say i didnt remind ya. its 6pm, this sat on 933:). there's a dedication session i heard.. we shall call in till the phone lines rupture k...muahahaha :)

yupp..:) thats about what happened in a day that is now yesterday.

i'm still trying to pick up from the horrendous rhythm of the past week (cant believe it was really just ONE week) to a normal pace of life again... normal a.k.a. sleep 12 hours, watch tv 6 hours a day blahblah..

hahahas..but these days i come home and fall asleep like a log for hours.. doubt i'd ever accomplish any of those great plans for fun, relaxation and ahem, self-improvement.., which i had turning in my head all the while as i grit my teeth thru mugging... sigh.

big fat procrastinator will never give up her procrastinating ways. yay.
hahaha aiyah nvm lah. in the meantime i shall just try to embrace school...=S

hope u dears will find ways to truly LIVE your life, the way u want it. :)

tata nitez!
take care people. :)

*yimeng was telling me that 7th July marked the anniversary of a something-bridge incident. i know it now. the lugou bridge incident. at "Huh?!"-effecting moments such as these, i'd be feeling quite lousy to find that perhaps i've never taken enough effort to be more culture-loving..to perhaps enrich myself more and become a more thinking, contributing person.. *shakes head sadly*
