Our lives would be exponentially less exciting with   Fiona `Spontaneously Crazy but oh so lovable' Chang 's departure. I know i'm going to miss the tales of our ` one and only source into the scandalous lives of Singapore's young adults'. 


I wish i could be more excited about the trip but the H1N1 nonsense is kind of getting to me. I  find myself cussing people out on the streets whenever they sneeze/cough WITHOUT covering their mouths... i think i would have to drink sanitizer to cleanse this potty mouth in HK.

On the plus side, at least it'll be a change of scenery. I'll get to catch up on my reading( yes, i'm still reading VDtD..) , make use of my new swim suit which i probably wouldn't dare to wear  even in my estate's pool, and with this gamut of emotions, write more , maybe parlaying it into a hit song ala Taylor Swift... NOT. 

Can't wait to meet up with everyone.VEN! &ZHEN! RYN & GANG!CHRISTINE & GANG, TENNIS TEAM! yes, caps are necessary. 


Cjoi Gim!

i wish i had Kate Nash's quirkiness .There's just something about her that's so blithe. Her lyrics, the song titles. I love her album. 


I'm reading Veronika Decides to Die right now and no, i am not taking down notes on how to successfully commit suicide. Like all Paulo Coelho's books, it makes one ponder over he subject at hand, in this case, insanity/madness. What exactly qualifies as madness? Is it simply doing something outside of society's norm? How does one know if he's truly sane? Heck, how do the psychiatrists/psychologists know , for sure, that THEY'RE sane? 


Maybe in an alternative world, it is normal to be insane. 


I feel insane just by typing this out. Maybe i'll go watch Girl, Interrupted now. 

 `` You know, those people with no job right now are actually the richest. Because they have plenty of time. And time is money. ''  - my P5 tutee

Take it as you will. 

I've been suffering from insomnia nowadays, not too sure why. As i toss and turn in bed, i keep thinking about random things. One topic that stuck in my mind was which song would be played at my funeral . I have decided on ***``Don't Stop Me Now'' by Queen.

Why? It may be an aberrant comment to say this but i think funerals should be more about honouring and celebrating a person's LIFE, not mourning about ***the end of it.

The up-tempo number is a far cry from the ever -appropriate ``What a Friend We Have in Jesus'' , a song which was played at my grandfather's funeral way back in 1996.  I was 7 and i remember my mom and relatives weeping and trying to get through the song. Till this day, i feel this little pang of sadness whenever i hear that song. It 's known as THE funeral song for me.  

So, to rid off, or rather , alleviate the pain and mournful atmosphere,( or in ohnotheydidnt terms , the ~SRS BSNS ~) i'm sure this song would represent who i was when i was alive and that my family and friends would keep that memory of me alive. 



               

***: naturally,  i'm assuming i'll die of old age and not some Final Destination-esque death. 
~SRS BSNS~: Serious Business

I had an inkling that this was going to be a good year during New Year's Eve. Maybe the saying ` starting the year off on a great note' holds true. The crazy dancing, the drinking and of course, the long talk at the Golden Arches ... good times.


After months of questioning self worth and resigning to the fact that maybe i'm not cut out for higher education in local institutes, Fate , with its sometimes cruel hand, reaches out and slaps me in the face saying, ` Dream on,bee-yotch. I'm not quite done with you yet.'  and tosses me into NTU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences. 

Starting afresh  in a whole new environment, meeting new people ( though hard to imagine topping the characters i've met in JC) and NO MORE MATH , damn it. 


LIfe is good again. 


...... at least until the assignments start piling up. 

The best singer didn't win a singing competition.

It’s a Mad World.

Adam, you’ve got a Whole Lotta Love and you can clearly see the Tracks of our Tears. We Can’t Get No Satisfaction! If We Can’t Have You, We Don’t Want Nobody, Baby. We’re not Feelin’ Good right this minute, we’re Cryin’. But things are never Black and White and we’re already deep in this Ring of Fire for you. You were Born to be Wild and believe One thing, A Change is Gonna Come.



That is all.
