i really really really love fireworks they make me go all aww and melty. maybe it's because you got the tickets which allowed me to view the magnificent fireworks. they're just so pretty and fluttery and glittery

sch's starting next monday. the amount of dread i have is more than all the dread in the world combined, and even more than the most dreadful thing someone can dread. buying books tomorrow compounds the dread, since i know that sch is starting because i have to buy books, not that i don't already know because i think about it a lot these days, but stepping into school and laying my hands on the books, is a whole new level of thinking, it's reality. i always avoid going to raffles city or city hall or dhoby ghaut, because those places ring incessantly of school. i am afraid actually. because i have grown to become pig-like, i don't know if i can withstand the late hours into the night and the corresponding little sleep. because i had so much fun that it makes studying look like shit. and because i need to pull up my stinking grades, there i said it, what i am most frightened of. LTB did me in, AS did me in, so this term, i have to do well or i will qiang bi myself

that being said, national day parade was nice. i loved the NS guys in lobster suits.. they looked awesome, and not awkward at all... totally not awkward, as they fumbled and tried to remember their next move. you know how those supporters of human rights label the singapore government dictators, and how they dismiss asian values as merely cynical strategies seized on by our authoritarian regimes to deny us our rights? when i was watching the parade yesterday, i thought, we have our rights. we can vote off PAP, but do we want to? they have given us a lot, hey just listen to that rags to riches story. at 45, we're prosperous, we have a healthy judicial system, a non corrupt government and such a beautiful city scape. although they might be a little patriarchal when you think about ISD and all, singaporeans still find it hard to vote for the opposition. because we're so comfortable and happy. maybe that's why we are politically apathetic, but as always there are pros and cons to every system i guess

as they saluted goh keng swee, lee kuan yew teared, such a gut wrenching yet heart warming moment.

k i am gna go swimming tmrw

you are lounging on a magnificent balcony open to the starry sky, tipping bubbly champagne down your smooth throat, divine music is playing with such exquisite perfection you can hardly stand it, when all of a sudden something terrible occurs: the magical sounds break up into an obscene cacophony. what is happening? are you dying? you put it that way. that awful noise is the first scream of an infant: you. you have been born into a human body hardwired with each and every transgression from the last time around, and now you must spend the next 70 years clawing your way back to the music. no wonder we cry

it's flooding over in pakistan, the biggest flood in 80 years. the chinese are braving floodwaters over in china. russia is suffering through its worst heatwave on record. so much human tragedy it's so sad, i hate what i read. when you flip open the papers, these hit you. and i hate it. it's reading about death, reading about the pinch. people die battling natural disasters, and here we are using electricity without a care. the earth is dying and people don't freaking care. those will you save me advertisements were dismissed by a population so used to air conditioning and comfort. i am ashamed of myself too, creature of comfort. so i vow to do my part, i will

going to bangkok on one day's notice made the whole trip guilt ladden. to make things worse i lost 100 bucks cause it dropped out of ash/rayner's pockets. can't really blame them because i entrusted them with the money, but still.. heart pain:( but i had so so much fun it was a fun filled 3d2n. getting pissed drunk both nights only to get bounced out of the legit clubs cause diana and i weren't 20. my birthday is 2 months away and i'll turn 20 then, but they refused to let me in. we even tried the gay clubs, ash and rayner could go in without IDs but diana and i were bounced out instantly. so we danced in the hotel room:) damn really wanted to enter funky villa. we watched the ping pong show too. when we entered i honestly didn't know what to expect, and when we sat down i didn't know how to behave. should i stare intently? or glance furtively? or look like i'm enjoying every moment of it? i hated the live sex part. they were nonchalently changing positions and they didn't look like they were enjoying it at all, eroding all meaning of making love. all the eroticism and love i read about in novels were indifferently negatived. i felt it particularly degrading for the girl, she was treated like an animal. i really hated it. but who am i to judge?

arts camp was tiring, and even that is an understatement, considering all the heavy tables and chairs we had to move, considering how under appreciated we were, and considering how hard we scrubbed the floors for 4 hours. but i love all of them. clubbing night was epic

k i'm gna keep my spirits up for school!

so i'm awake at 7am (that's a rare considering i slept at 2 last night) feeling sore, hungry, and grumpy. yesterday i was either thinking or dreaming, about elaborate gowns and masquerade balls and pom pom skirts, curly hair and headbands, beats me i don't know why either, but they were the causes of me not sleeping properly omg and i have to be in sch at 9am and bidding starts at 10am and i still don't have my timetable fixed............ why does sch heap stress on us one and a half months before it starts?!?!?!!!!! and i don't even know how much e dollars the professors are worth..........

yesterday i was thrilled!!!! and i'm still happy, how not to be?

NDP with H (gossip girl style hehehehehe) was not as boring as i thought it would be. I actually thought it pretty fun! Maybe cause of H and the silly comments we made with everything that came before us. oh my alarm just rang. the joke of the day being the 'A' in mahjula singapura hahahahahha. i loved the gun salute and the short fireworks display. and the lobster performance where they had fake pecs. totally didn't know zhihong was part of the coloured flag parade and insulted him with my comment on whether he performed in the lobster thingy. when they marched it stirred up national pride in me, like hey these are our army men!!! NDP is the day everyone put down their arms and come together and feel like a real family, and it felt good basking in the sea of red and white soaking in the festivity though it wasn't the real day. Thanks A!!

Ooooh gossip girl style makes all your friends appear mysterious.

You know, it was good in that C with you.........................................................................

kay like i said my alarm rang i'm gna go bathe and feel less depressed over not sleeping. have a long day today :(

it's been almost a year! i'm so glad we finally met up yesterday. adrian was saying that he has no friends in smu. that's the thing with universities right? at least that's what i feel. we don't make so many true friends. of course you have many hi bye kinda friends, and you'd feel happy having lunch wtih them or chatting with them along the corridors, but they're not your real friends. but no issues with that of course! lunch buddies are the best!

i'm damn worried.........
why....
the more faith r has in me the more disappointed and wretched i feel
the more i read the papers about retaining top talent the more i wanna bury hole and die
it's nowhere near the end of 4 years of school yet
but it's discouraging enough

okay i'm gna enjoy my holidays before i slip into depression. we had to shelve the swimming plans because of the rain...................... ugh ugh ugh

We were once untainted pieces of paper, but our environment shaped us didn't it? It robbed us of that child-like innocence, doused us generously (some more than others of course) with hatred, selfishess, bitchiness and whatever bad that came out from pandora's box. Is it why we find it so hard to mix around with different people as we grow older? It's as if my colours on my piece of paper don't match yours, and we give up trying after a while.

Today i watched CSI and Horatio, is that how you spell his name, said that as long as there is any plan, it is pre-meditation. And you cannot plead insanity because you cannot claim that you had no intention to do it or did not know what you were doing. I smiled to myself and thought of Chandra.... He taught us superbly.

Omg I wanna go fishing!! Recre fishing has a two day fishing trip to sibu for 80 bucks, inclusive of seafood lunch how exciting is that. shall ask them tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to become a ghost I am dreading it, dreading having run ins, dreading having to paint my face all white, dreading having paint drop on my clothes.. I think the worst are the run ins. Don't need anyone to dampen my mood

i love the smell of new books. the law books are an exception though, they smell so good, but when you flip those pages of terror, one page into the book and you wanna quit. no surprises there

after i watched sex and the city, i sat in the cinema seat and gave thanks it was the holidays. you know the dread i have for school is........................................... pure hatred. exacerbated by results of course. if i had done as well as term one i will not be this depressed. everytime i do something i will rejoice, and bear in mind that once school starts i can't do that very thing leisurely anymore. actually once school starts it's just studying. i hate school but i like law. i just hate school. 

today i went to the library, and borrowed books on ethics and genocide and ethnic cleansing and north korea. and one fictional novel from my all time fav author dean koontz. holidays are kinda boring already. i've been on 2 holidays, gone out countless number of times and i am bored........... ash suggests signing up for art classes that sounds fun! except i wanna draw humans, and not garfield or teletubbies because i am good at those. i don't mind cooking classes too. ah belle says there are so many things to do in the holidays but i am too lazy to do any, and learning from boring investment books is not exactly what i want to do because i am lazy like that, though the knowledge will be great la of course. i just want to ramble on and on. jo and diana are in aussie now, perth i think! yay jo's getting me my cutie purple orange and green havis (which diana says looks unmitigatedly ugly like a rotten banana) but i don't care.

oh i watched the prince of persia today! complete with buffet, popcorn and coke. it was really good! except for one part which was weird i didn't understand that part it seemed like a weird loophole in the show. k i am gna read my immanuel kant now

J: Would suppressing your emotions and not expressing them for the sake of the person you like, be doing the right thing?

G: Right thing, my foot! Then that's being a complete stranger. How is that liking someone? If the world goes into pieces tomorrow then you'd probably die first because of regret. It's better to regret after you act, instead of regretting after you don't do anything. That's my philosophy
