Long days ahead

Finally got home from a long day. Studied (with Oprah on the television), took an urban planning exam, hanged out with Ansl and Justin for a short while in school (American sitcoms = Wonderful form of entertainment), met up with Dillan aka SK, Jaren, Leon and James at City Hall where we tried Mac’s teppanyaki burger (not a fan of burgers and only had a little. Wouldn’t say its good. Yikes. :/ ) and headed to SMU after that. Dashed off in a cab to meet my parents at JP to settle some documents and watched Ninja Assassin (Rain’s 8 packs. Blood. Rain’s 8 packs. More blood. Rain’s 8 packs AGAIN.) with Mr. & Mrs. Goh (major light bulb alert!). As of this moment, finally home and… I’ve not showered yet.

No idea why I typed all those details out. Probably its because my sisters are not home so I cant share my day with them like how we’re used to. All 3 of them are off enjoying themselves at a chalet while ‘Exam Girl’ studies. Its weird being the only daughter at home. No one to fight or bicker with for insane things like who gets to use the toilet first or who should do the dishes. Feels like I’m the only child. Major weirdess. Guess you never appreciate what you have until its gone.

Another Big Day tomorrow. Like what Oprah said today. You do a good job today and realize that you shouldn’t praise yourself too much cause you got to do it again tomorrow, the day after and the next day after… It goes on and on…

Big City Dreams

HEAD NORTH, TURN LEFT – Big City Dreams

“Can we stay the same if I move half the world away?
we’ve float off through the night and hope to meet somewhere in between
And the sunshine will give every story a bright side, another happy ending
On the west coast you”ll never need a raincoat, dreaming’s what we’re doing out here

Would the stars shine the same on your side of half the world away?
wish upon a moonlight sky that I will be back again someday
And the nightlife of temporary yes good bye
You’ll do right and I willdo the same
On the west coast don’t never need a winter, waiting’s what I’m doing out here

Every story has an end, but I prefer to begin again
Just like a book I’ve never read I prefer to begin again

Can we stay the same if I move half the world away?
we’ve flown up through the night and hope to meet somewhere in between
And the sunshine will give every story a bright side, another happy ending
On the west coast you’llnever need a raincoat, dreaming is what I am doing out here

Every story has an end, but I prefer to begin again
Just like a book I’ve never read I prefer to begin again

Every story has an end, but I prefer to begin again
Just like a book I’ve never read I prefer to begin again”

Most of my friends have applied for exchange in Year 3 Sem 1. Plus B1’s graduating soon. Which means I’ll probably be alone in school for one semester. 6 months without the usual chattering & bickering. Hmmm. That’s got to take some getting used to. Though this song doesn’t really reflect my side of the story but it makes good sense. About how young people around my age are venturing out more. Maybe its because Sing is too small?

I like this song. The name of the band’s good too. Big City Dreams. Everyone around me seems to be getting out or trying to get out. For whatever reasons.

Maybe that’s how the young are? We like to have big dreams. Like to head out. Hate to settle our heart on one thing. Easily dissatisfied. There’s good and bad. If I had the means, would I want to head out too? Maybe yes, maybe no. Anyway, its just wise to stay put for now. Considering taking up an attachment in year 3 instead. Sounds a little sad compared to those on exchange but oh wells. Its perfect enough for me. We do the best with what we are given. Happiness is a state of mind.

Desire not out of jealousy, discontent or compulsion. Such desires knows no end.

p.s. as usual, i blog the most during exam seasons. hahaha. must be all the studying and repeating playlists. stirs up the ‘writer’ feel. Time to get back to work! First paper tomorrow!!

49 more days…

Just 49 more days to the end of the year. Exams and the holidays. That’s the outlook. Clouds with sunshine after. Haha. I’m excited to see how 2010’s gonna turn out.

Shoo flu. Shoo.

I hate having flu and headaches. I hate having them during crunch time even more. Stay away from the germ bag people. *ahhhhh chooo!*

Chill and have a cuppa

Have a 2000 words essay due on Monday yet, as usual, I blog at the most inappropriate hours. Escapism.

Today feels like the calm before the impending storm. Finally have a free day amidst the busy week, and I know it should be dedicated fully to my assignments and all the other ‘important’ stuff. However, life is just too short to constantly be boiled down with work.

End of the year is always a mad rush for most people. Exams, closing of accounts, holiday seasons etc. To all the busy bees out there, just remember to take a cuppa, smile, chill and enjoy good company once in a while. Balance is the key to life. The point of playing a game is not winning or losing but to have FUN.

la gente vivir la vida!!

TGIF!!

Hello friends & readers!
As you can tell from the picture on the left, this has been my life for the past few weeks. The laptop and books are officially my new ‘best friends’. I’ve officially crossed the line of insanity today by calling my laptop Mr. Grumpy and telling my friend that he is sensitive. (well you see, he hangs when people try to push him too hard)

Do hope to clear all of these work soon. Sadly, it just keeps increasing by the day. *shakes head* Uni’s no longer that fun in year 2. Haha. At least its friday, and the weekend’s ahead!

Absolutely looking forward to sunday night.

Movie & de-stress!

Oki. I’m stopping here. Sorry for the short post. Time to leave school and head for CG tonight!

Jusqu’à la fois suivante people!
