talk about sound isolating.
today on the bus there were 2 aunties behind me
and they were talking at fever pitch
about some topic that I have no idea about
so their voices kept getting higher and louder
and pretty soon the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were sharing earspace
with the aunties at the back.
rawr.
irritating.
BOOM BOOM POW!

today was an interesting day.
joke of the day:
bio teacher walks into class
since there isn't much to do he goes through SPA
then the MCQ answers for nervous system.
since it's a practical period it's 2 blocks long
but at the end of the first block he packed up and says
"we'll go through the rest of this next lesson"
so we reminded him that there was one more block.
it was totally classic.

h3 h3 h3
run run run
hohoho

changed the blogskin.
seems like the previous one didn't work on IE.
no wonder i couldn't access it in the library -.-

huddle down
time to prepare for interview.
only problem that it's on the same day as the SATS.
bugger.

NUS med talk today
it's basically heart heart heart
no one goes anywhere in med without heart.
what drives you?

no pain no gain.
unfortunately, planking with a resistance ball
is that painful.
yarrgh.

i have finally found the song that i've been looking for
for a really really really long time.
it's Carcrashes by Standfast.

speaking of long time,
just read through hiok's blog (that is not updated)
and read the post about raffles trail 07.

i miss bagpiping
i want to jam with something
i want to learn new songs
i want to feel the thrill of performing
i want my bagpipe D:

there's this game on fb called chain rxn
which means chain reaction, if you really don't know.
and what happens is that you pop something
that sets of a chain reaction,
and the aim of the game is to pop as many balls as you can.
GO AND PLAY IT IT'S SUPER FUN

ok enough advertisement
time to study for SATS
and try not to confuse myself.

played for worship today
and I think the old people got shocked during the buildup for the bridge.
haha was it too loud?
it sounded good xD

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
wooooaaaaaahhhhhh....

soon i'll be able to play this. ha.

posted @6:24 PM

you don't have to make it so obvious
bordering on the self-indulgent.
...

anyway, on to better things.
rafflesfest was today!
and I think it was good.
well, compared to last year's event it was much better haha.
although it seems as though inflation has taken its toll on food prices.
nevertheless I had fun,
even though i spent too much money on strange foods like peanut butter chocolate cornflake things. the taste of it kinda grows on you (:
also bought a raffles shirt.
it's basically a rugby shirt without rugby on it
and it looks quite decent ha.
pigging out on brownies is good shizz
but of course the waist suffers xD
oh well back to running
the last 4kg is always the hardest
but I will get there!

oh my goodness I HATE the bass beat of the kill.
there totally is NO fixed pattern
(unless there is one and I can't discern it)
at least the high hat, snare and toms are easy.
gaah you're not going to stop me from learning how to play this song >:(

okok enough with the ranting.
probability calls.
life returns to normal.

super SATS studying sessions starting soon!
only problem is that sleep always seems to be nipping at my heels.
but I will find a way to overcome this.
hm.

had a talk today by the principal.
it was about giving your best
in the sense that one should always perform to the best of one's ability
and not do enough merely to win.
there was also one part about a guts thing,
how one must have the guts to want to win,
to want to get things done.

of course, you need to put in effort before you can win.
There is no point in wanting to win if you don't try to improve.
so that's something to learn today.

if i run 6km every 3 days.
and after every 5 runs I increase mileage
by 1km,
how far would I have run in 100 days?
hmm.
haha that would be quite alot.

I had no idea my mother was so cool.
what with her, um, polarized viewpoints
and crazy ideas
(even though some of them aren't exactly very smart haha)
can't say what they are though.
don't think they're really very palatable ideas.

hello how are you today
can i listen to you speak.
i promise i won't interrupt
even if you change topics
and even if i don't understand.
that way you're happy
and it's a better day.

somehow I realize all the different flavours taste
vaguely the same.
all sweet.
all with a tinge of weirdness that I can't place.
all satisfyingly unhealthy.
all make me happy.

sometimes the smallest words don't mean
anything more than buzzing to the ear.
"hello how are you
can i listen to you today"
instead of rambling and ranting.

boarding is a stone's throw from the raja block.
literally.

say all you need to say
say all you need to say
say all you need to say

i stare at the circle
the circle stares back.
a lone blinking eye
with a radius of 5
and the argument in the background.

the lines of the paper
like, prison bars
hide the answer from sight
tricks with the mind as
lines are bent and distorted.

grant me parole.
give me...
................a reprieve from this feeling
. ........................................................of not knowing.

I'm supposed to be sleeping but I'm not
that's so characteristic of me haha
then i sleep when I'm not supposed to
like during other more important lessons.
i won't say which ones hmm. but maybe "all" is a good start.

so i finally know all my results.
like daaae. which explains the title.
i need to work on GP :/
and definitely econs too.

going to jam later.
on a good friday.
when it will probably rain
like it does every year on this day.

i have my running shorts!
this is totally going to make me want to run more consistently.
so i will eventually hit my 5km 20 minute target meh.
then after that I'll look at 10km

bang crash smash tom tom tom
lalala
delirium.
goodnight.

this is completely ridiculous.
told you i was delirious xD

walk past.
stare.
dreamy eyes.
glare?
walk by.
turn around.
glance again.
wtheck.
this is childish.

got PW back.
looks like I need to treat my group haha.
but that isn't a bad thing.
congrats to the rest of the class too.

self destructive behaviour.
thriving on it.
maybe not self destructive for others,
but certainly for myself.
this is a conundrum.

haha i got back econs.
and FINALLY i didn't get an E. i got a high D. :D
so I am happy.

pw results come out tomorrow.
or perhaps it's the day after.
information is coming in from every possible channel
so i don't know which to believe o:

GP today was terrible. why?
because I fell asleep during the timed assignment.
good thing I had enough time to finish it
although i defined ubiquitous as "commonly seen" instead of "seen everywhere"

have you ever had that feeling
that enough is not enough
that giving your best isn't what people expect
and that they don't recognize your effort anyway.
dumb buggers.

'cause you run when you feel insecure
and you always remind me of her
and you're lost in your own wonderland

100th post!
pop the champagne, let's have a party!
but on a more serious note, perhaps i should reflect and see where my blog is taking me
or where i'm taking my blog.

it started out as an assignment, really.
sec3 autobiography.
which went well enough.
then the hiatus.
but it actually wasn't a hiatus
more of of lethargy towards the blog.
this caught up in j1
so it became a memory of sec3 and sec4 life
and a desire to make the jc class a little crazier,
just like 4P.
bad idea huh.
so it changed into a work reminder and a place to dump baggage.
not really emotional baggage. that wouldn't really fit here.
i would hate to call it emo-ness.
and it really isn't about that anyway.
more of a place where i pine away
and wish.
and dream.
so that's where it's going.
I'll probably let it be
and let it stay the way it is
so I'll be happy
and so will you (:

AQ is over.
but it has been an interesting learning experience.
like learning how to work with people and coordinate logistics.
I have never had to go to east coast 4 times in 2 days.
and that is too much, even by my standards

so anyway.
thanks to kenneth and the rest of the reserves.
waiting at east coast would be torture without someone to make fun of xD
thanks to daryl for helping with the bike pickup.
bike grease really really sucks, especially on white pants haha
congratulations to team 116 for getting 6th.
congratulations to the other teams too! i have biking pictures i think.

so we were at the bike pikeup at east coast
at kit runners with one of the biggest, most unwieldy trucks in the world.
and unfortunately parking was a problem.
so the driver parked at the side and we unloaded the bikes.
then we suddenly heard this guy shouting at us.
turns out that he was pissed off at us for blocking his carpark.
didn't make sense right?
who owns a carpark anyway.
then he started cursing and shouting
words that would be too vulgar to put here
and he started to blame everyone
especially the poor security guy that really wasn't to blame.
haha kinda reminds me of a small kid
the kind that screams for things to go his way.
sorry bro you ain't that small.

God put a smile upon your face, yeah.

put a smile upon your face
take away the frown.
stiffen up your upper lip
go spin round and round.

and today I realized how to log in to raffles discovery "claps"

new day new discovery
grow a germ
catch up with a friend
attend a talk
sleep through a lecture.

am I facing indecision,
or am I deceiving myself?

damn.
damn.
ruin my day.
and I was so excited too.

it's funny how ideas suddenly pop into your head
changing the way you do things.
or maybe it's the things around you that influence you
and give you inspiration.
whatever these things are,
I am happy for them.

I like spontaneity.
the feeling of putting together something
that pops out of thin air.
being able to do things
without thinking "what next?"

Do I relish being different?
or do I crave acceptance?
either way something's got to go.

make me want to run till I find you
