Need a Good Laugh?

Of Hotness and Hatred

Brad is so so HOT! Pity he got voted out. I love him, and Ozzy too :) :) :) Hope Ozzy goes to the finals with Yul.

On another more vicious note, I absolutely LOATHE this exam period. I hate you, exams! I have no motivation to study whatsoever and when I think of how much I have to finish, I just feel like curling up in a little ball and sleeping. Which is so not good.
Oh well, if I want to continue staying in Sheares I better do relatively well.

Back to "studying" now.

The Danger of Jalan Raya

I think I gained ONE ENTIRE KG from Jalan Raya with the squadmates! Blame it on the Hari Raya snacks and my deprivation of good food. I've been stuck with Chinese dinners for so darn long that when opportunity knocked, I willingly yanked open the door.
Unfortunately, the consequences of my actions were a bit of indigestion and slightly lowered self-esteem. But it was worth it =) i already miss the pineapple tarts, cookies and sugee...

Anyway it was nice to meet up with the NP people though I felt that we didn't have much to talk about even after...one year? Everyone who came was in poly/army so I didn't have anyone to swap uni stories with and really, that's the biggest thing that's happened to me this year. What was fun about the gathering was reliving the old times and sometimes I miss those days. Definitely not the politics and favouritism but the times when those didn't matter, when no one was vying to be Station Inspector or ICs, when no one was thinking about the next opportunity to suck up, when everyone was genuinely having fun and enjoying each other's company.

How I do miss secondary school; it was just so much less stressed.


"The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the infant, knowledge and confidence for the young mother, a 'mouthpiece' for those too weak or withdrawn to speak" - Virginia Henderson, 1968

Night CycLink

Tandem biking wasn't so bad after all. Except for the starting and stopping and a few coordination problems. Sorry Sandra if your legs hurt after that and if I was very noisy. But I'm extremely proud of us =) as one of the few girl-girl pairs, we managed to complete the entire route without feeling like we were going to die from exhaustion once we reached ECP.

I had a lot of fun actually cos Sandra was a great partner and I got to see parts of Singapore I've never been to. I finally know where places like Mohamed Sultan road and MOS are. (Ya lah ya lah I know I'm very suaku, so sue me for not being a clubber.) We actually got to cycle past those places so I thought that was pretty cool. Highlight of the night for me was eating at Geylang. The food was yummy and I'm definitely going there again to try the fried dumplings and xiao long bao.

The only downside: Butt pain. I think I started feeling it during the second leg, on the way to the Esplanade. As uncomfortable as it was, I found it quite amusing to see people lifting their butts off the bicycle seats at every red light :)

The Procastinator's Creed:
#5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

The second half of Physio tutorial yesterday was a disaster. I tuned out the Prof's droning so many times, I doubt I learned anything more than "Some people think they see ghosts/other-supernatural-beings because their cells are very sensitive to ion concentration changes."

The reasons why it was a disaster? It could be cos I just had an hour and a half of PHYSIO TUT before that and was certainly not looking forward to another round. It could be because the Prof suddenly started explaining about things he claimed we learnt in sec school and JC but which I have never in my life heard of, much less learned, before. It could also be the fact that I'm so lost that I can't be bothered to listen any more.

I don't like to say that I've given up though, not quite yet. I refuse to believe that I can't do it, that I can't at least get a B for Physio.

But that first step to success is just so damn difficult to take.
