I thought I had gotten over all that.
Guess I haven't.
Don't think I can.
Don't think I will.
I've had a perfectly wonderful evening,
but that wasn't it.
10:52 PM
Saw dode off at the airport togrther with Abi, she's leaving for perth. What's really really really mean and ironic is that her aunt applied for a buisness class seat for herself... and an economy class seat for dode. First class seats for a six hour flight with no sun and no company?
I don't get it.
So we had dinner at fish and co and I realized I had no cash on me cos I was extremely late for them thus I took a cab which cost me nine flippin bucks cos I was stupid enough to take one during peak hour. Dode got kind and paid for my food. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Oh the joy. Then we took a whole bunch of silly photos and got laughing. And when I laugh... well some people would know how it's like. Ha! But when it struck nine I realized I HAD o go cos the shuttle bus that transports me back to the condo stops at 9 15pm.
PANIC.
Got back to tampines at 925pm, knew I had missed the last bus but stood there looking like an idiot for ten minutes in hope that it would magically appear. NO THAT DID NOT HAPPEN LA. Spotted this lady standing beside me with the " I live around flora drive possibly carissa park" look and so I asked her if she was taking the bus. She said no cos she missed it and I got excited cos finally someone else missed it too. So she managed to catch this cab and asked me if O wanted to share with her.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT INTO A CAB WITH A RANDOM STRANGER. But you know, desperate times calls for desperate measures and that was what happened. Turned out she WAS living around the same area as me thus we just chatted a bit in the cab. How strange was that? She is also a stewardess that would be leaving the same day as we do to Shanghai. Ha! And whaddya know! She insisted that she pay for the cab fare. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
what a day.
Nothing is too wonderful to be true.

In simple plain english, there are two types of people that inhabit this earth. They are perfectionists, and those who strive to be perfect. At a glance, there might not be any dramatic difference, but when delved further into, the contrast is too overwhelming. Those who are perfectionists always want to improve no matter how perfect hey already seem in the public eye. Those who strive to be perfect feel like they are way too insignificant in this world that they feel the need to be like those whom they consider to be perfect.
But why the need to be this way? The answer is straightforward: It's human nature.
Lists are a desperate attempt of human beings to make order out of chaos.
5:13 PM
Was sent for a leadership camp with Melody and we thought we were gonna be bored to the point of extreme boredom. But no! It was really really fun. Basically cos we spent half of the time sleeping and the remining time LAUGHING and... making people laugh. Its funny though. We look at each other and just crack up. Ha! And who were the people laughing with us although they thought we were crazy and some thought that what we were talking about was plain lame? EASY.
Group SEVEN and EIGHT.
We just laughed and laughed and laughed in the SILENCE while other groups were presenting and we cheered for ourselves and had a whole bunch of fun. Group seven's ( my group) cheer was AWESOME and we were FANTASTIC! ( Of course la, I'm in it!) Haha.... And anyway, THERE WILL BE PICTURES of all that fun and stuff. Like what kind of fun? Like a guy opening the ladies toliet door by accident, me smashing into the door, group seven running in a circle to the tune of Barney which I will update more of over the weekend, and together with a whole bunch of inside jokes thrown in. Like this.
BLACKOUT.

There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.
8:39 PM
Me and Rae
random photos that my strange friend sent me. can't remember when this was. Ha!
Today was not fantastic. Got up on time and stuff then realized I forgot to do the literature homework! That' was not all. Then at 8 45am, it struck me that I forgot to take my key with me. Tore my room apart and found that it was in my bag all along. Dang. It was 8 50am and I had to get myself up on the fourth floor in school by 9. HOW WAS THAT GONNA BE POSSIBLE. So got there, bumped into Sonia and we ran, hopped into the lift and proceeded to run towards the lit room BUT unfortunately, our teacher was already there, hacing a serious talk to Dode and thus we got into a spot of trouble. She ticked me off for being late for the third time or somethin and said she was not pleased and stuff. Then I got sent into the room where lo and behold... Jesse was back! Aha... But we figured she would get into a whole bunch of trouble cos she didn't submit a letter excusing her from lessons due to a holiday. True enough, Both Jesse and Dode tragically got sent home and Dode seems to be banished from lit lessons for life! Hopefully that will change though cos it's BAD being banned from going into class. Darn. And there is Dode, still on her theory that Ms K is an equivocator. Ha!
So anyways, we completed Macbeth today! Finally! Oh. So after the lesson, Abi attempted to make me go to lunch with her cos she had no one to go to lunch with but I unfortunately only had a couple o coins with me, just enough to ake a bus home cos my card was in the negative value! Darn.So we had this LONG debate on why I should or should not go. After bout twenty minutes on that, Sonia P came along and solved the whole thing by pulling both Abi and I with her to the bus stop and officially announced that we were ALL going for lunch and since I had no cash, Abi would pay for my lunch! Aha... it was hilarious. So we got to BURGER KING, ( dang, fast food always sucks but that's where ya go when money is an issue) and had lunch. I attempted to go to the bathroom there but then proceeded to make a scene by trying to get the door open but after three minutes of looking stupid, I realized that.....
IT WAS LOCKED.
Oh me oh my.
So got back to the table, and pretended that nothing happened.
We then walked around then Sonia P and I had to head home so we said our goodbyes to Abi. We are supposed to go blading at the beach later but Din got busy, Abi got lazy, Jesse got caught up with ACES things and I got tired. Why? When I took the bus back, I forgot to press the bell and I uh... MISSED THE STOP. Had to walk back,( sadly) cos I ran out of $$ and that's why I'm tired. Still hitting the pool later though! Maybe.
That was about all that happened and now, I realize I have to collect some online homework thing. its really stupid, doing math and histiry and stuff online. THERE ARE TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS LA. Aha...
Oh.
What is it that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.
3:06 PM
AMAZING. oh.
Travis is fun, I love his dancing and his STRANGE hair. 'tis cool. Ha!Anyway. Had lit today and unfortunately, poor Dode got sent out cos she didn't bring her book with all the homework in it. DARN. So she had to go out with all her stuff and we thought she would take herself home but during break, bout an hour later, we stepped out of the room to find her STILL SITTING THERE! Aha... So we advised her to go back and maybe talk to our teacher but that didn't happen. Well.
I then headed to tamp mall after lessons and after I stupidly tripped over myself and slammed into the wall, to the laughter of Abi and Rae. SHH! Don't tell anyone!
Oh.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
2:37 PM
Headed to dinner with folks and my godmother then got tired and moved home. Showered then sat mysel for another entertaining episode of the apprentice! 'Tis always fun. BRENT IS FINALLY OUT.
Oh.
Anyway, Got up early once again to head to another three hours of literature. This was followed by a series of complicating events which I will not mention bout and then headed to lunch with Louisa! This was followed by Melody screaming at me for not reminding her to come to my conformation! Aha... then pulled chocolate out and made peace with her. Now she is happy. Ya see what chocolate is caable of? HA! Apparently it contains some form of thing that makes one happy. COOL. Now, I am home, happy with the dinner that I just bought. Returning to school tomorrow in the morning for literature again, then at night with my folks for a briefing on the Shanghai trip thing that begins on the first of dec. DANG.
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death. That's all.

Anyway, headed to school for another three or so hours of literature in attempt to complete the Macbeth text by this holiday. We got to a certain part of the text where a couple o witches tell macbeth that he cannot be destroyed by all those born of a woman. So he got all excited cos he thinks that he's invincible. But apparently, those born by c-section are NOT born of a woman thus I have concluded that....
I AM NOT BORN OF A WOMAN. Ha!
oh.
Rae, Abi, Dode and I headed to seven eleven during break and while walking there, Dode spotted this Chinese herb/snack/drink/food shop thing which sells...
STEAMED EGG IN MILK. And she got all excited, announcing to the world- ( and when Dode announces to the world it IS the world and i'm not even kidding. HA!) how much she enjoys em and meanwhile, Abi, Rae and I just stood there, in utter shock at Dode's strange infatuation with an EGG.
That sick, sick man. HA! Dode look ok as a man though, pics of her being hitler will be coming soon. Do have fun with that.
Moving on. Am supposed to join Abi for dinner tonight at some random place but I realized I only have ten bucks to last the rest of the month ( I don't know why ) and that's just not working out for me. Ha! Thus I had to turn her down. I owe her Candy empire goods though. Aha... She's just gonna have to wait for that.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged,
to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
3:01 PM
