Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind.

4 day weekend

Monday, February 18, 2008

yoohooo!!! i have a 4 day weekend which is sadly coming to an end. friday was lincoln's birthday so that was a day off and monday is president's day. holidays i dont know anythign about but great to have. well to a certain extent at least. so on friday, got up kinda late? went out for lunch with janet, joyce and aaron at santa ramen-the best ramen place in town. we kinda got lost but it was all good. met jon there as well with his friends. went to michaels after and i was so tempted to but some artsy crafty stuff. i need to drive!!! then i can go wherever i want. 5 more months! =) anyways, joyce had to get back to work so janet aaron and i went to target to get marcel a gift which we almost forgot about. got home and played rock band. havent played that in ages and it took forever for us to fix the guitar. by the time we finished, had to drive aaron to his swimming class. but still me and janet got to play. whee. watched a movie while having dinner. wasnt exactly a fruitful day especially since i had intended to study and do my homewrk but it was still fun. =)

oohhh yes. valentine's day. jon gave all of us flowers and i received tons if chocolates in school too. i wouldnt be surprised if i fall sick again. hopefully not but for the amt of chocolate i got, its quite inevitable. =))))

yesterday(sat) marcel's birthday celebration. went to color me mine and we did ceramics. well kinda. we got to choose a ceramic piece- i chose a mug and we could paint on it. was fun b ut tiring. could only get it on friday though since they had to glaze it. pctures will be up then. as for now, words will do. heh. went to his house therafter to have cake. ice cream! ive been craving for ice cream for a looong time now. esp haagen daaz and ben and jerry's. oh wells. had japanese for dinner and man was it good. had tons of food. and it wasnt normal stuff like noodles or rice too but plates and plates of sushi, sashimi and whatever u can think of. dinner with uncle kenneth;s is always great. heh. i feeel so greedy. got home and lazed around.

this morning i was awaken by tons of laughing in the living room. yes yes theres still people comign over to give us red packets. great but to sacrifice my sleep.. hmmm. not so great. went out for a while. played upwards and here i am now. really didnt do much today. they have all gone out for dinner with some people i dont know so i guess staying home and eating junk would be a better idea. i feel so guilty now for not doing any studying at all. and exams and tests are coming up too. like next week? i should start now. but heh. second thoughts with my lazy brain again.

im soo into the songs by taylor swift now.........

i miss mom and dad and my lil doggy! mayeb not so little. to think he's 7 this year....


happy chinese new year

Friday, February 08, 2008

it's chinese new year today but im not spared from school. in fact, to make it worse, i only ended at 5.30pm today all because of lab. and our lab instructor was so bad that everyone decided to change labs leaving us 10 souls behind to suffer. i will spare myself from typing the details since it wont do my blood any good. anyways, so far, ive received 3 sets of red packets, the most number ive received in years and i believe there's more to come. of course though 3 packets still cant beat the one or rather 2 that im used to having. but that's nothing to fret about. chinese new year. hmm. not something that we celebrate or should i say we're not that traditional. especially back in singapore.we dont even go visiting or care about oranges or whatever normal chinese people do on cny. guess it wont change and i seriously dont mind. the thing i do mind is the holidays i do get.

i clearly remember last year where i was spending cny in germany and london. those were the best trips made among all the places ive been to. food was great, sightseeing was unbelievable and all. i would pay my life to go again. heh. but i bet mom and dad would rather go elsewhere. maybe in 10 years, i ll ask again. for now, i shall stick with paris, venice, japan (hokkaido), and some others. mom said next year??!!! i soo cant wait. =))) im feeling homesick all over again. awww..

anyways, these few days have been the usual. nothing much going on except for the continuous parties we have which is no longer worth blogging. its the same people, same food, same things to do. i wouldn miss out on anything if i were to stay in my room watching channel 8 dramas. thats how used to the parties i am. school has otherwise been fine except for the fact that i think im more lazy this semester. i already skipped one chem and bio lecture though i really should forgive myself for that. my legs were so painful that day from the morning i found it too painful to walk or even sit so i went to the library and slept. wahaha. of course, i found out i was down with fever when i got home. a whopping 39 degrees. it felt horrible. immediately slept when i got home for roughly 2 hours? had tons of homework to complete but i wasnt in the mood for it at all. worksheets were spread out on the table but i couldnt even hold my pen right. ended up daydreaming. of course i knew that not homeworking would result in a frantic rush the next day. with chemistry problem set and biosurfing to do i was dead. but fortunately, chem problem set was postphoned. was over the moon. seriously. im glad its all over now. but i dont think ill be able to forget the pain i suffered from my legs. until now, im still coughing but its a whole lot better. i hope this is the last time fall sick this year. usually im down only once a year but oh wells, its changing. alright. gonna go to bed now. ive been sleeping really earlythese days but who cares? who complains about gettign more sleep? NOT I.
