(happy music)
week one: lectures begin..
(exciting music)
week two: lectures onlyy...
(dangerous music)
week three: tutorials begin!
and so the cycle of a dreary semester starts once again. we're now at the tutorial stage, which entails more time spent at school, more time spent doing assignments and readings, more time (in my case) doing messy confusing calculations because i've got quite a few science-ish related modules this semester.
i need a getaway, they painted my nails red that day because i said i needed an adventure. it's sad that red nails mean an adventure; whatever happened to the old me? who at whim would take holidays, meet up with new people, get myself into the Game and play the days away?
these days i find there is nothing left in my life to blog about. all the drama, the excitment, the roller coaster trips seem to now settle into a slow moving peaceful river. like a countryside villager i yearn for excitement, and degradation of a city life. something deep inside me draws me to the degradation. it was as if i needed my life in a mess, my emotions awry, the sweet meaningless attention of dumb admirers to make life worth its while. like sarah said, it was as if our roles were reversed, and now i'm in her place she in mine.
almost always at this time i would hold myself back with thoughts of you, and how you make everything worthwhile. whoever said birds should never be caged and that freedom is one's all? i welcome your entrapments and i find such joy in my cage, so you could put it this way: i'm a willing little bird for you....

pictorial updates; in the past 4 months or so, i.....
got our photo snapped by some professional photographer from mumtazz at ice cold beer, peranakan place!
visited the Singapore Zoological Gardens one rainy day (explains the yellow poncho) for the first time in the past 13 years....the last time i was there, i was seven.
worked in his office, while he ate all the Lays....
rode a giant pink moblie monster around the roof garden at Junction 8 after work; $2 per token, you get about 6 minutes on the monster..
ate so much my tummy bloated and i acquired a taste for sitting down for long periods of time...
spent fridays dressing down during work...
and making a regular (almost) appearance at Bonkers96 at tanjong pagar with the rest of our gay posse which includes the CK Tangs M.D, his boyfriend divaesque Gary, Andy and his Mediacorp Artist love A.S (whose name i shall not reveal because he is such a sweet man; initials only), Bob, a cool hip regular who gets us tables, and free entry into WhyNot, a gay joint duh.
also took lots of stupid photos, one of which (see below) i am pictured throwing my arms out in glee at the very yummy maxwell market.......
i also spent alot of my time pretending to be Brandon bingbing phangphang, our oversized maltese.
well, laughs aside, these past four months weren't easy..
i was down with severe food poisoning which lasted almost a month. imagine high fever and bodyaches, and throwing up everything you swallow, even if it was just water or saliva.
things at home especially have been weighing me down alot. it's a combination of financial and communication problems. now that i finally have an opportunity to blog about it, i just dont know what to say. i can only hope things get better soon...
then again it's always a balance, so i gave up alot of things this semester, but i got so much more in return...... you know i'm talking about you (:
