ok just got humiliated in lecture coz me n partner decided to ignore the instructions to communicate with each other. i was in a dire need for sleep and she was engrossed in youtubing her dances. and dear professeur vivien just so timely deicides to interview us. and my partner oh so bravely proclaimed tt she forgot what she said. -.- oh well...every well-balanced and substantiated study needs a negative example.haha. so cool.
its very interesting observing people's laptop's screens from behind. the kind of websites they surf sort of gives you a perception of their personality. haha. communications.
oh yes she just hit my jackpot.
lack of effort and energy can reduce effectiveness of listening. i lack slp and my stomach is growling. so its not actually my fault that i can't brg myself to pay attention. its theorized that i am unable to pay attention.

Being the first crazy soul to reach school on a rainy morning while the rest of the world is still snuggled under their blankets isn’t such a bad thing actually. Sipping a cup of hot milo, chilling out alone with my mac and ipod in an empty CS compound is quite an experience. For once I get to hear silence in a place that’s always bustling with noise and vibrancy. I’ve not stayed up through the night for quite some time, more so with oac. And I’m glad age hasn’t got to me yet. Hah. At least I’m still conscious (though sub-consciously brain dead) and able to act coherently. But I forsee my reserves running dry some time later. And probably (hopefully not) I’ll start spouting nonsense.
Its such a wonderful moment with myself right now I wish 8am wouldn’t come so soon so people won’t start barging into my tranquility.

i think this photo is hilarious! look at hongwei! omg he thinks he just came out from the water and NEEDS to act cool. 
hehe and i like this photo (:this has been a good weekend, though i didn't get to study at all. which was what i was intending to do when i left school on friday. but home's too comfortable and definitely not conducive for mugging. oh well...at least i caught up with people i cherish a lot. (:
i should stop being so panicky. i would have just collapsed on my bed at this time of the day if it were last year. would not have even cared about sch the next day. that is quite a bad example and i should be glad i got out of that idleness. but i really need to learn how to RELAXXXX. being on ur toes 24/7 is nerve-wrecking. however, there's one thing i still don't understand. why adults always tell us uni's the most relaxed time of their schooling years. =S

i duno why i got a little emotional while watching the olympics, particularly the gymnastics section. a special commendation to He Kexin representing China in gymnastics. i give my utmost salutation. she was really impressive on her first few stunts on the high bar, and hopes were definitely high on her. but just as the world fixed their eyes on her, she lost her grip as she went on to the lower bar. a fall that did not just implicate physical pain, but more so a psychologically tormenting one. i felt my heart plunge, not to say the involved party. she must have felt the world crashing down on her. at that point, a pick-up was necessary and she did pull herself to continue with the routine. a trained olympiad no doubt, but having to go through such stress and to muster such courage at such a tender age of 14, i would say that a standing ovation was not enough to display my respect for her. it was a heart-wrenching moment as she completed her circuit and landed with perfect footing, accompanied by a look of relief and disappointment on her face. her score was a mid-high 15.75, taking into consideration that she did make a major mistake of falling from the bar. but the disappointment of not having achieved self-expectation is something i feel for. in this competitive world, its not solely about how hard you're willing to strive, but about relative opportunities as well. who knows when another impossible competitor would come by and *poof* goes her chances of achieving world's best.thinking about what i might have achieved two years ago if i had cherished the chance to take part in National Arts Competition. i might have felt ridiculed on stage, but it would be an experience that would never come by again. there's too many chances i've stupidly let go of. i think its time i reconsider my strategies in life. i don't want to stay an unachiever.

i'm such a loser, as roomie puts it, to fall down in front of canteen B during lunch hour and to lose my voice on the 4th day of school. its a sign, probably that i need to take better care of myself. i think the last time i felt so handicapped after a fall was probably the time i rolled down the brick hill in ubin. the wound is disgusting but i can't help but stare at it, as if eye power would seal the crack. =Si can't make a sound even when it hurts. people have given up talking to me. and i can't really move around. so i just sit there watch time tick past. and time does pass by very quickly when i'm home. i wonder why. time in ntu is somehow excruciatingly slow. the idea of sleeping, eating, studying, playing, walking, running, transiting within the same campus day in day out has become quite disturbing. i know the campus is big and i've actually gotten lost almost every day, but the longest bus ride i've taken is around 15mins. i remember when we were slogging our hearts out in sch last yr for our aep coursework, we pleaded with the teachers to let us camp overnight, when the deadline was about a month away. but ms kee insistently refused, saying that we shouldn't work and sleep in the same place for a prolonged period, for relaxation will soon make no difference from working and its bad for health. now i see her point. i feel suffocated.
but thanks to roomie for our frivolous obsessions and deep talks (: and fungg for the many lunch meets (: and many people who put a smile on my face every day (: life has become so much easier to get by. i hope i'll never run out of things to look forward to.
