Who You Are, When No One's Looking.

A woman confronts her terror of public speaking so she can tell her church congregation about her miraculous answer to prayer.
That's courage.

A man vows to get up twenty minutes early every morning to jog around the block, and he keeps his vow.
That's discipline.

A high-school techer patiently draws out an inattentie student and discovers she is a gifted writer.
That's vision.

A college student, overwhelmed by tests and term papers, considers dropping out, but decides to stay and study instead.
That's endurance.

A man notices his daughter's tear-stained face, and so he sits down and encourages her to tell him what's on her heart.
That's compassion.

A parent gives up an attractive job promotion so the family can stay in the town where they have made friends and put down roots.
That's self-sacrifice.

Back to what I've been doing-

School started on Monday, but there was only 1hr of lecture,
after which there was Jash, which was wrong, really wrong.
Nothing was good except the food. The performances were bad, music was bad,
we were all bored, so we left for prata.

Woke up early to fight a war against the computer and every other freshie for Add/Drop, it was damn chaotic and crazy. Handphones ringing non-stop, and only 2 laptops to accomodate more than what it can. Madness, madness. But, we did it!

Left for home, skipped school on Wed for dental- Braces are blue and blue!
And looking at how things are going, I doubt I can remove them any sooon. )):
Met F to clean up her Sheares hall, lunched at Techno-edge (haha!).
Think I didn't even clean twice as hard when I was cleaning my own hall man.
Slept the entire journey back, then dinner at Chomp chomp with D and Hk!

Thursday! I met my beloved wife, Y- SHOPPINGGG =D Heh.
But neither of us got much, I was quite upset! =(
Had a very coincidental, fated (?) incident too.(bumpedintogib!)
Yw, Artur and Shit came to look for us, so we sat down at Bk and talked.
Everyone's lives feel so different now, like we are no longer friends from the same college,
but now friends of a different phase: we seem to have moved on while they are stagnated at their service to the nation. Feels really different..

Cut my hair with Mom on Friday, bumped into almost everyone and anyone possible in Town,
Hr came to say Hi for a while,
left for Ikea- I was so disappointed cos I couldn't really get what I need! :(
Island creamery, where I saw Jien (Come on Monday!!)

Left for Cg, we played Balderdesh. OMG DAMN FUN.
And the above, is extracted from the handbook we're using for Cg.

And back to today..
I sold my sony ericsson. =( I miss it already but we had to part before it totally dies on me.
Now, I'm contemplating whether I should get an S500i, get back my V6,
or just wait. Sigh.
AND I watched Ghost Rider. I don't know if I was just tired, or it was boring, but I slept 1 hr 20 mins into the show. Heh.

Ps: I've been dreaming of the same person for 3 nights now,
is this scary, or scary?

Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle.

Woke up @#)%&^*! early for Sister's convo yesterday,
spent half the time laughing to myself while reading messages (Y, I hope you went back to sleep, haha)
or reading Harry Potter.
Pictures all with her now, and her boyf's soo sweet (: Heh.

Then I checked in to Thirteeeeeeeen (Elisa, elisa, sigh, sigh, tsk, tsk)
Thank God for my Bangla Brudderrrr aka Brian (Or Brain) aka Aik Meng (Ehk, not Ayek!) aka Slave aka Dumbfuck (for that day)

(Okay la, I made him give a dumb expression.)

He came over together with his roomie and junior, to help me with the cleaning.
So together, we got EVERYTHING done in about 2 hours: wiping the wardrobe, table, window, drawers, cabinets, bed frames, with CIF (change name already), sweeping and mopping the floor, and even rearranging the furniture. (Eli, I hope you don't mind.)

But we had fun! Now they know the passcode to the girls' toilet, and I accidentally poured our rags away with the dirty water down the toilet bowl. Thank you, Ming Ming for hitting the flush button. I think my Bangla Brudder did three times as more cleaning up than I did la. Thank you, Brudder.

Settled camp stuff. Two pieces of Good news! #1: YEE PEI IS MY OGL YAY YAY YAY. #2:gibgibinmyog!butcantbespanymore

I want Wenlong and Chong tooo :( But she couldn't fight for them.

Flew down from school to City hall, in that "white old man cefiro". Thanks for trying to get me down in 15 mins though HAHA so ambitious.

To my everdearest Hugs darling with whom I have communication breakdown over the Internet and sometimes Sms,
I LOVE YOU. You are so WEI DA. Because she waited for me for 45 minutes. We ate at Kenny Roger's! =D Exchanged birthday gifts (thanks for the cookies and scrapbook! My friend can't stop laughing at me though =( But it's okay, I still love it!)

More rings. Nearly splurged more today. Saw this damn bloody nice bag from Doro Perkins. Bitch, it costs 73$ :(
On the way home, got a call to go for supper, sooooo, we went down to Geylang for.. you know, you know! Okay nah, we had taohuay but Prinsep taohuay beats it anytime, hands down!

Then guess what, we decided to walk around Lor 8 and Lor 10. It was really, big boobs alert. Haha. And the amount of them is simply.... jaw dropping. From every nation and every race man.

Left for shiiiishaaaaaa though it was almost one am, peach mint!
And we were doing silly choochoo trains, dragon and whatnots.
We asked, "What time do you close?"
Girl looks lost, and says, "One? Two? One."
I check my phone, and it was 0103.
"Huh? Isn't that now?"
"Uh, I don't know." and she walks away..
But we stayed til about 230? Is it? Can't rmb, got chased out anyway =(

And I came home with this pin, just in case you can't really read it, it says: I'm not straight, BABE!

HAHA.

I FINALLY GOT MANSON SERVICED!!

OMG WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER IS PLAYING AND I MISS TROJANS. :(

Catch the Last Flight Out.

One thing I really like about packing my room is the nostalgia;
all the lecture notes & tutorials (school),
little scribbles on them like, "Don't be stressed phil, cheer up!" from Z, + a biiiiggg smiley face spread across the page, or Lesbo's "Phil, I'm damn sleepy",
random slips of paper like the blue one L wrote me, "love, your handsome, tall, dark, boyfriend",
letters from Crabby dating all the way back to 2005,
the "backstab" paper from HouseCamp 05, and Lshit anonymously wrote, "don't smile so much later face kena cramp."

I'm still in the midst of it, so I'll probably find more stuff later! (:

I've always believed that a fine line separates Love/Hate.

But I guess before you hit the Hate stage, you'll have to first pass the one with Love,

And sometimes no matter how hard we've grown against each other,

deep down there's still the unspoken, invisible, Love chucked away in a dusty corner..

"As much as I miss school, I don't want Uni to start."
--Jien

My sentiments exactly,
cos THIS simply freaks me out, big time. (Read the tagboard)

PS: I remembered one more joke from J,
"If you eat corn to be corny, what do you eat to be horny and funny?"
(hor fun)

PPS: ANYBODY WANTS MY TYS/NOTES/PAST YR PAPERS?
(If I've already promised to give them to you, please remind me!)

PPPS: The Used has a new album!
