i feel like i'm stuck in a whirlwind of ...everything in the world.

lately, i have been reading quite a lot. books, magazines, newspapers, etc. there are so many shocking news. bad rules over good ones. a British boy becomes a dad at 13. an exorcism court case about a mentally questioned woman suing two priests. a former female teacher charged with having sex with her minor ex-student. she reported the crime because she found the boy too obsessive and threaten to kill her family. mildly retarded family with multiple rape cases. sis commented that how can a mildly retarded dad be allowed to take care of his mildly retarded children and even take in yet another retarded brother-in-law.

such news seems surreal and they are just some from the tip of the tip of the ice berg. teacher and student affairs often illustrated in manga that are materialising in reality. what is happening to this world? with the economic crisis and all this disheartening news, its only the second month of the year. not to mention the chris brown and rihanna case.

that aside. newpapers often commented about how the internet lacks human interactions. i beg to differ. people are more willingly to open up to their blog or facebook than when face-to-face with family or friends.

how do we catch up on our friends' daily affairs? we read their blogs.

want to know what our friends are doing or are currently involved with what? we tag, throw sheeps at them in facebook, and even put them up for sale.

for me, an old primary school good friend found me.

yes, internet is undoubtedly the greatest invention or some sort.

but what are the price that we paid for putting our entire life online?

mahjong-ed for two consecutive days. =)

just had wba paper on last friday. went to chingying's house for lunch and mahjong, to satisfy my itch for mahjong since cny. bwahahahaa~ played for a short though. headed home and jumped straight at my bed. was pretty exhausted by the test.

watched the korean drama, Sassy Girl, Choon-hyang, on channel U. wanted more so went to watch it online. ended up watching from episode one to six. ommmg! watched till 3am. (--") the later part was pretty sad and i ended up with a blocked nose that caused me difficulty in breathing when i went to sleep. no more tearjerker dramas at night for me!!!

this is roughly how late my family slept.
dad slept early at 10pm.
sis went to her AFTH thingy at Toa Payoh Hub at 9pm cause the management only allow them to set up at 11pm. that's damn stupid. so she did till 3am.
mum came back from her outing with friends at 2.30am. somehow dad woke up at that time and they chit-chatted.
at 4am, folks went to fetch sis.
all deep asleep by 5am.
sis woke up at 8am for her AFTH which starts at 11am.
folks and i woke up at 11am and went out.

sis was nearly awake for 24hrs.

at friday night, jieming and yanxi asked me out for mahjong on saturday. very last minute. but we only confirmed at the noon the next day. met up with jieming first then went hongda's house. played mahjong from 3pm to 7.30pm. bryan came too but he didn't know how to play mahjong so he watched tv, played with his laptop, psp and ds, and took an afternoon nap at the couch. break for dinner at the pretty pathetic multi-storey hawker centre.

jieming was persistent on getting his waffle from prima deli. i ended up not eating any cause this yanxi went to eat mine. mine was plain and his with cheese. the plain waffle was in the bag labelled cheese, cheese waffle in chocolate bag, and chocolate in the plain bag. in the end, he ate two waffles. walked to ntuc as hongda wanted to buy bread. that building was haunted looking. no one living there except for the stores at the ground floor. its like those horror hongkong movies, the flats facing each other. all the lights were lit up at each block each level. broken window panels. spolit doors. creepy. went back his house for more mahjong and jieming taught me how to play bridge. in the middle of the game, mum called to ask if i had forgotten to return home. it was already past 11pm then.

mum was damn funny la, first, at noon she asked if my friends were all guys, and added not to play anything else besides mahjong. then about 10pm she sms me saying, wow you forgot to return home. my folks went vivo city for the night to date and mum sarcastically said that they had a full satisfying meal because there was no one to compete for the plate of wu xiang. dad added that usually after one or two glances at the wu xiang, it will be gone. both of them indirectly shooting at sis and me. also, they had already made plans on what to eat for their next date. way to go.

i forgotten what we talked about and the guys suddenly became interested in yanxi's personal life. don't know whether is to "suan" him or what. when he talked about his online girlfriend whom he knew through maple story, i couldn't helped but told them that i felt pretty uncomfortable with the mature topic. if not, i think he might go into details with it. i am not against him or anything but the guys were too comfortable with my presence till they had forgotten that i'm a pure innocent girl. tsktsk. and this blardy hongda, out of nowhere he mentioned about leon. saying things like he is a good guy, they're in the same camp and are good friends, and that he has his number. i dared him to call leon but he refused as he didn't want me to hear his voice. huuuh, WTH! its like he dangled leon in front of me to let me taste a bit then when i got hooked, he put it away. i really felt like body slamming on him, wwe style.

i hitched a ride from jieming and bryan. we sat the mercedes taxi. the ride was still smooth even though he sped. nice. i reached home in less than 10 minutes.

the night was cold but fun.

time to work hard again.

let's say that today was the last day of school, with actual tutorial and lecture.

school has ended.

having mixed emotions. oh well, won't dwell on it too much. tml having WBA final test and i'm not done with my revision at all.

AHHH!

shall go and mush on my Subway Double Chocolate Chip Cookie from chingying for more brain power. hmm, 姐 is napping so maybe i'll keep half of it for her... if i don't finish it. bwahahhahaa!

Recently it has been raining a lot.

it was an eventful first month of 2009. most noticeable will be my final year in poly. scary, yes. now i understand why adults ask us, kids, to enjoy our studies while we are at school. working life, is not pleasant nor nice at all. oh man, all the negative thoughts even before i work. actually, i want to relive my secondary school period. i should have muster the courage to do the things that i wanted to, and not regretting it now.

next, really looking forward to after poly activities. so many things lined up.

chinese new year was great! got to wear my new clothes and other new stuff. now that i think about it, my clothes could last for 2 or 3 chinese new years. see, i did my part in contributing to the economy. i wonder if my polymates are interested in luo hei. haa, looks like fun mah.

however, my ex-colleague from my attachment company told me that her mum had passed away last december therefore she was unable to go visiting. it came as a shock as i wasn't expecting her to tell me that during the festive period, on 初一 some more. at my attachment, i already knew about her mum's condition and that she had about another 6 more months to live. she told me over lunch, just the two of us, and i didn't know how to console her but tried my best to. i have to admit that i don't really know how to handle such situation. likewise on monday, my dad told me that he went to attend one of his old navy friend's wake. his friend was just diagnoised early last month only. sad news in a joyious occasion.

i guess i shall catch up with all my friends. primary, secondary, pae, poly, others after my final examinations. yes, i should. busy busy busy. but i will be damn lazy to travel without a bus concession. yes, i am contradicting myself.

i am feeling SO EMO!!!
the reason is because i'm listening to My MVP Valentine OST. heard BoA's Waiting on tv and got connected with it once again. i have a weak thing for emo songs. OMG, i finally found the most emo-est song that i like in that drama. internet rules.

some good news are that my stock, iea paper and wisp are OVER! yes, done, gone, finished. left with one prototype presentation tml, wba final test on friday, IIP presentation and final report next thursday and lastly two more exam module and ITS DONE.

suddenly, i feel speechless. overwhelmed with excitement and emo-ness. ytd i was reading all those oneshot manga online, and came across a sentence something like this, "Life of the left behind has the burden of redemption for the rest of his life." i feel more emo now. but what got me going was that one of the lead charactor mentioned, "I will more forward with the burden on me alone to become stronger. So that no one else will be left behind nor cry when I die." i wish that my guy were this cool too.

today has been labelled as one of the lamest day. we had to go to school to get the feedback for a PBL presentation for a module that is OVER. i thought the tutor would give us back our marks too. he talked to us for less than 10 minutes and we were dismissed. ...dumbfolded. and the silliest mistake i made today was that i sprayed guy cologne in my study room because i thought it needed a little smell to perk me up. my nose is rejecting it now. my sister and i are really sisters. why? cause on monday she used it on herself for fun, and i thought maybe my sister smuggled a guy into our house which was impossible as i was watching television in the living room. oh well. the lame things that we do.

it is going to rain real soon. may it wash away all my insecurities and show me the light.


oooh, with him, my world is brightening up already!
