"Where the hell is everyone? Neither here nor there, they are in the air."
Yes, patience is a virtue but patience can also run dry. I'm really not sure what's got into me but I've been rather fussy lately. Whether it's into punctuality, speaking well, contributing ideas, the way people walk etc.
Mid-sem tests, tutorial homework and project work are driving me nuts. I'm just wondering why only me and a few others are the only anxious ones around. This just sucks. ARGH.
One thing which made me glad today: I received my penpal's letter! YEY! But I'm really busy to reply although I really want to reply soon because I know on the other side, my penpal is waiting. Haha, I think.
One thing that made me kinda uncomfortable today: I thought I had a toothache (which I never had before) until I took of my spectacles and the pain was gone immediately. However, there's no choice, I need to wear my glasses or else I would be as blind as a bat. Grit and hold on. The 2nd time I'm saying this since my previous post.
Communication barriers prove to be a huge factor at times in poly. Sigh.
Green Wing's last episode will be shown very soon! I love that show. It's just funny!
Goodbye.

The heat is on. I think.
hahaha
Mid-semestral tests are next week and I really have to make an effort to revise my work! I'm still doing stuff that are not relevant to my studies like the picture above, which I spent 45 minutes arranging it.
I don't know why but poly life, although more flexible, makes me feel exhausted compared to secondary school. Many times I fall asleep on the bus when I return home.
Whatever it is, I'll grit and hold on. The term break is not considered much of a break cos we have to do our projects and this sucks so badly. RAH!
Haha I think if I have the chance to, I wanna visit the bookshop again to see those art materials. They just make me happy! I don't know why :P
I'm looking forward to 4 H class gathering in July. I am not sure if I can make it, since the time and venue are not finalised yet but I really wanna go. I miss all my secondary school classmates! Right, dinner time soon.
cya! :)

In contrast to yesterday's post, this would be a shorter one.
I spent the last night listening to English songs playing on my computer. Songs which were released when I was younger, in primary and lower secondary school. They sure made me feel nostalgic.
Some like Westlife (oh my so-bery favourite band last time and I still like them now), the now-defunct A1, Backstreet Boys, N*sync, those funky techno music like boom boom boom and Calcutta (which was really making its rounds at that time) and a few oldies. Then came those I began to like after those above: Blue, Coldplay, BBmak, Avril Lavigne, John Mayer, Vanessa Carlton, Linkin Park, Blink 182, Red hot chili peppers, Busted, Goo goo dolls, cool bands like The Eels and Nada surf whose songs I'd heard from The OC compilation cd I bought in the past. It's really coincidental that all except a few are male bands. I believe I have many more in mind but I can't possibly type out everything.
Hmm 3 shows which I really enjoy and feel attached to: Malcolm in the middle, The Simpsons and The OC. I always enjoy them no matter what although I have loads of other faves like Desperate Housewives and Lost etc etc. I'm a tv prog nut.
Okay I better start doing my tutorials! Cos I have to start studying for my mid-sem tests!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL O-Level students taking their Mother tongue papers tomorrow!!!
I guess if I have the mood and time later, I would blog more. Mata ne.

Dammit I've wasted the entire Saturday doing none of my school work. Hmmmsy. I'd better start doing my Econs tutorial followed by the rest.
I'm not sure if I have high expectations of myself but it has been this way since young. If I don't do something well, I'll feel disappointed (most of the time for a few seconds) that I'd let myself down but of course I don't dwell on it (pessimism sucks!) unless it's real serious. Somehow in my heart I tell myself that I have something in there but I've not tried my best. Even if I did, I told myself that I could train or practise to be even better. However, I'm definately not a perfectionist. It's just not me. Like in art, you can't be perfect! There's no such thing as perfect in art imo. It's all about creativity.
Friday was CCN day and my class became customers. Haha. I didn't spend on anything unfortunately although I was contemplating whether or not to buy this chesse sausage. Haha.
The only thing that made my day was the trip to the bookshop (because I had nothing to do after eating lunch at Mensa) and seeing those art materials...I wanna buy all of them! Lol they are so cool...50% of me wondered why I didn't do an art course. At the end, I bought a blue textile marker because I loved the brush. Silly yes, it's meant for textiles and I plan to use it on paper. Heh but who cares.
Okay time for my music therapy. All those nostalgia from songs released during my primary school days. Like CAL-CUT-TA etc etc.

Last week was sucky, this week wasn't that bad.
Thursday was hell, I slept at 2am. There were 2 tests the next day and I had not studied one dot. I was 'busy' watching American Idol and doing my 2 tutorials, which were to be discussed the next day as well.
- I think I'm a bloody guai kia. I've not skipped a single tutorial or lecture at all, although I did habour the thought of skipping the ultra boring CSA lectures twice because a huge lot of my classmates ponned it. I do my tutorials diligently although there were 2-3 times I didn't do a question for some random subject cos I was (put in excuse). -
However, I did manage to study 3 lectures' notes of accounting before I went to bed. Actually, doing the tutorial questions = studying too. Haha.
Accounting class test was alright although some questions were kinda tricky. I'm not too quick to embrace Accounting compared to Management. I'd realised that a part of my Management tutor's handwriting style resembles mine. I once read a book about handwriting during my secondary school days that my style of writing showed that I was a straightfoward person. Haha it's quite true. My classmates don't really like the mng tutor due to some incident but I don't really bother. As long as she can teach well and is approachable to a certain extent (which I think she is), it's enough. Why make a mountain out of a hole over some petty matter?
Training was tough as usual but it was tiny bit better than last week's. I'm getting tanned under the hot sun and I don't like it. I look like a zebra! One part tanned, another fair. Some of my canoe mates love to get tanned. I don't, though.
I'm feeling lethargic after the trainings. Tomorrow there are 2 events for me to attend but forget it, I just want that day to myself to relax, stay at home and do my thing. (Even though the Great Singapore Sale is on and I wanna visit the bookshops and music store as they are having sales this weekend T_T)
Mid-sem tests are approaching very soon. In a week's time, that is. Project work is killing me. I find my class real slack. I find it hard to adjust to that tune sometimes. It's so different when I was in sec sch, where everyone was competitive and we had to work hard to shine or save our skin. I get frustrated or irritated (and it can lead to madness and anger) when people just have that "I don't give a shit" attitude. I hate that. I want good grades because I want to enter that particular course in university. My mum once said,"The rate I see you doing this, you are just working for paper chase." Indeed, I just want that piece of paper, go into that uni and finally do what I "really want". And when you step behind a lil, they wonder why you do nth and they start panicking at the last moment. GRRR.
I've made myself speak more Mandarin in school because many of my classmates and many others do. I am beginning to accept the fact that the school really has people who can't speak or spell English words for nuts and I'm serious. These people could very much be of my age or even 3 years older! It was horrific to learn about this initially. I'm not trying to say that I speak good English myself...but it's just so...weird?! :S For example: This is strawberries & I'm not familer with the enviroment. (Get what I mean?!)
Perhaps I should view this in good light...that my Mandarin should improve further since I've forgotten a whole lot of my chi since o's last year.
I caught up with Isabel and Jewel during lunch (on what day?) and oh, for once I felt so comfortable in poly. I was back to my old self and I could laugh. I miss 4H! Oh and Cherylene told me that our class is going to have a gathering in July. Am so excited! I miss everyone from 4H. I feel a certain sense of torture going to lessons everyday maybe cos I'm still not used to my poly classmates yet. (Even though it has already been a month -______-""")
Oh well, whatever. Auf widersehen.

There's land training at 6pm and I've yet to do my Marketing tutorial questions for tomorrow. But I will...soon after typing this blog entry I will go to the quiet study area of the library to do my work and hopefully I can complete it. Sigh. I forgot to bring the mindmap that we are supposed to do! Hmm and when I return home, I would most likely be 70% dead and 30% of exhuastion worth. Alright I really don't know what to type anymore.
Okay why don't I make an effort to create a quote before I leave to do my work? Think think think. Here goes...
"Wasting is as good as not cutting, so why go packing when you are not dying?"
Haha it sounds kinda lame but whatever it is, I'm gone!

As I am packing my bag now before I go to bed, these are 2 lines I created. :D
"Time past fast but always last, take a risk and switch your path, to which it leads to (gasp!) and you laugh."
"Notice comes from practice, make it your little apprentice."
Lol, I love the way they sound when read. They do make sense to me...at least they do represent a little part of me.
Hmm Green Wing's last episode is next week! SAD :( I love the humour. British humour is definately different from American humour on tv. okay night!

Right now I'm in CSA tutorial lesson, 'secretly' blogging, just like last week.
And I've notice that another classmate of mine is blogging as well.
People are logged onto thier msn messenger, chatting with their friends online.
Hmm and I stuck the Tiger pad onto my left arm this morning before I left for school.
I'm feeling so bored. Later, peeps from the entire course have to stay back for this supposed course event. Sigh.

My entire week was bloody and shitty. The worse week ever since school began this year.
First incident: Met a totally irresponsible hamster owner on the bus in the morning early in the week. Her boyfriend (I think) was walking in front of me when we boarded the bus and so happen they were sitting behind me. My first impression was, okay, regular couple. Next I heard munching sounds and the smell of MacDonald's! She was the one eating, not her boyfriend though. Her eating on the bus obviously doesn't tell very good about her. No manners and her attitude sucks like some rotten burger. They were talking and came to the topic about losing her handphone and how she didn't bother etc. Then came this topic which got me fuming inside. She supposedly brought her hamster to school and it got lost etc. and she didn't feel sad one bit!
She said,"Not the first time lor, (later in the conversation, she slipped that it was her first time having a pet hamster. Contradicting isn't it?) never mind lah." To which, the guy replied,"HUH?! You don't feel sad at all? Ahyoh......"
She bought another hamster and still brings it to school. It's a wonder that she's in Year 2, older than me and has a brain of a nutmeg. What really pissed me off was her attitude! If you are a pet owner, you have to be responsible for your pet and take care of it well! It totally ruined my morning. I was contemplating whether or not to tell her off. I know, some people may think I've got nth better to do, scold people fer what? (altho at the end of the thought of doing so, I always keep mum) However, this kind of irresponsible hamster owner irks me. I used to have hamsters in the past and my hamsters were really dear to me. Poor guy, I think he was either wooing her or was already her boyfriend. A male friend wouldn't be cajoling a girl that much unless he's either of those 2 above. He should rethink of being attached to her imo. No compassion and manners, not an animal lover and attitude of a bug.
Second incident: An earlier post I had typed highlighted my brushes with pedestrians as a cyclist. I've now met my most annoying and idiotic pedestrian ever. At a distance of 8m away, I began to ring my bell loudly and continuously. However, this particular pedestrian refused to give way to me at all costs, despite me having a high chance of hitting him. I had to stop beside him and ask politely,"Excuse me." He looked at me and said sternly,"This pavement is not for cyclists! GO cycle on the road!!!" BLOODY HELL. You want me to get knocked down by a car is it? (the car was just 0.5m away from me) Stupid old man. I was real pissed at that potato head ok. The pavement is like 3m wide. Are you so damn fat you gotta take all the space? Obviously the authorities have not done much in educating the public on road manners although they have always focused on road safety. Pedestrians play a part too! If they refuse to co-operate, it's not going to work well. After I'd parked my bike and he was walking towards my direction, I gave him that 'hmmmph!' look and walked away. Seriously, that pedestrian just made my blood boil! If I ever see him again and he tells me off, I'll tell him off. I can't stand this stupid stranger. ARGH!
Then came cca trainings. Gym training was a first for me. It was really tough. Now my arms hurt like hell. Even combing my hair is a painful process. I wish I could leave my body for a while. I'm gonna have to stick those tiger blam brand of pads on my arm tmr. I've never experienced such excruciating arm pains before. Sigh sigh sigh.
It also sucks when project work is dgsjAtdfDtgehKfbka. I've learnt to control myself better when some people copy my work cos they didn't do theirs or they ask really silly questions online. 'Don't get irritated, it could be you...Be calm and cool about it!' I always tell myself that.
Sorry for those bad and petty remarks. Ah, I feel so much better now.

Here's a quick one.
Met my canoe-polo senior by coincidence on the bus early in the morning. I can remember her face but not her name somehow, even though she had introduced herself to the freshies during the first land training. Hmm marketing lecture was okay though it showed me that I must mug more because I can't seem to remember some facts in the previous chapter from the previous lecture.
Next came lunch and after which our class was told that we can't do our milo dino for CNN day cos there were too many drink stalls. Sad. So the idea of car wash was brought up. However, some of us liked the 'smash-cream-into-our-faces' game. Oh well I'm game for anything, as long as our class likes the idea. I went to the library and I was searching for the newspapers but to no avail. Waited for a while and right at the corner of my eye, I saw the newspapers on the table but the guy was not touching it! (talk about inconsiderate people again...)
After I had finished reading, there was this harp performance going on and I was approached to watch but I lied that I had to go for lesson in 10 minutes, lol. My cousin's girlfriend is a harpist and she performed at The Esplanade before. I still remember touching her harp during Chinese New Year. It was huge! Hmm but that wasn't the reason why I didn't want to stay for the performance. Just didn't feel like listening to harp music. Haha I'm like that, :p if I don't feel like doing something, I won't do it unless I force myself to but still...
Then came CSA (computer) lab lesson. Hence you can see that entry below, which I had typed earlier on. Some of my classmates were just not paying attention to my tutor cos they found it hard to catch up. Then a few others and I were just laughing away, lol. Some were just solemn. I find CSA lesson boring but I also like it. Why? Cos boring lessons = time to slack. Some steps that were taught to us were just retarded, like as if we didn't know how to do that. Questioning our intelligence eh? But I soon found out in the 2nd lesson (today was the 3rd) that some people do need those steps cos they don't know! Ah heck, whatever.
My group needs to start discussion for our marketing and csa projects soon. As for management, I'm not sure yet. It's another group of peeps.
So for today, these are what I need (and want) to do:
1) Watch tv
2) Do tutorial hw
3) Read textbooks aka mug (if there's time allowance)
4) Practise piano for a while (NEED TO! FORCE! I can procrastinate no longer)
5) Watch one hour of Survivor (same as 1?!)
-------------------
Spoiler, please highlight to read -> ARAS won Survivor, Exile island! I wanted Terry to win. I'm disheartened by the result and therefore don't wish to watch the 3-hour episode+reunion except for just one hour. After which, bed time!
Okay cya! :)

Hello everyone, 1R04 is now in Lab 4 doing CSA. And here I am sneakily trying to blog lol. Actually, it is not difficult to blog cos (maybe) our tutor doesn't really care.
Some of my classmates are actually searching Friendster, another at some Jay Chou music website. Hmmm and I am here blogging.
Right, 20 minutes to 3pm, which means our lesson is going to end soon. (Sheesh my tutor nearly saw me blogging! OR maybe he did but I don't care)
lol stupid time to blog cos I don't even know what I am blogging.
gotta go.

I'm not sure if my previous post sounded rude or anything but sometimes it is just good to be sacarstic and just blab about anything crappy. I love wicked and goofy humour but to date, I'm still not sure if I'd achieved that. I will work towards that, I guess? :P
Today is Vesak Day...and it equals to PUBLIC HOLIDAY which leads to NO SCHOOL TODAY! Hurrraaaaaah. I'm just looking forward to next week's water training...in the boat, canoeing. That would be sooooooo much better compared to land training. I absolutely hate running or jogging. Bleaugh. I guess I'm just more "in tuned" or whatever it is, with water compared to land.
Oh yeah my penpal is gonna send the letter on Monday so I presume the fastest time I can receive my letter is next Friday! (^-^)/ And the latest by the next following Monday. I can't wait. I've already sent 2 letters but this is the first letter I'm getting. Hmmmmsy.
By the way, BINNI, ALL DA BEST! Hope you get into canoeing! Pester pester pester!
haha hmm I've nothing else to say. mmm...OH YES! I missed the first 10 minutes of LOST because I had forgotten entirely about the show. lol. No big deal though. There is cell group tonight but I have no idea how to get to Darren's house! So I guess I just have to wait for instructions.

Yesterday was my first canoe-polo training, which was land. There are both gym and water as well but they are on other days.
It was tough for me. I have not ran long distances since the last Natfa test...last year? I'm not good at sports if you ask me. I'm either horrible in a sport or average in another. I think the sports I truly enjoy are swimming, cycling, badminton and captain's ball. I've not tried many sports anyway. But if I compare myself with my friends, I'm probably better at cycling. Haha. Cos I have practice everyday and quite a number of "50% chance to get hit by a vehicle or not" practices and I enjoy it even though pedestrians would think I'm scary. Yeah those drivers would think I'm crazy too. I have encountered many annoying and inconsiderate pedestrians especially, less of drivers. Sometimes a single pedestrian wants to own the entire 3m wide pavement and make no space allowance for the cyclist. Ridiculous? It sure is. You can see a person's character like never before through just road manners.
Oh yeah, teen couples are UBER annoying for cyclists. I'm not going against my own kind but I find this true through my experiences! They give you that bloody sickening look like: hey, my partner and I own this pavement okay! There's no space for you to come and break us up. Go cycle on the road and get hit by a car! Oh, how we would enjoy that! Sadistic people.
There are people who are blessed with ears that are able to hear yet sometimes you wonder if their sensory nerves are connected properly or working. You ring your bike bell loudly for as long as 10 seconds and so quickly that your finger aches. They ignore you and seem to hang this message on their back that reads: BANG ME! WHEEEE!!! I have to brake on purpose and stop by their side and say,"Excuse me, PLEASE!" They look at you with that decided blur face so as to make me think that they are oblivious to everything around them. Working adults (not having anything covering their ears except their hair) are included.
Sorry I know this is so out of topic but I just can't stand these inconsiderate people! Some well-dressed (and looks educated) people obviously have ears of a full stop. There are inconsiderate drivers as well but not as much. There was once this stupid driver whom I had wanted to hit on his head. There is this small road which states that cars should not park there. Nevertheless, cars still do park there because the drivers can't be bothered about being fined. At that time, I was cycling across this road. This car, which had parked only half of the space and left the other half empty, suddenly reversed the car for no reason and tried to hit me! Then, it stopped. That was it. Hello, you saw me cycling across! Talk about idiotic people.
Anyway back to canoe-polo training, only 3 out of 20+ freshmen (including me) turned up for the first training! Those who didn't turn up had either one of the following: sprained ankle, fever, diarrhoea etc. The seniors were kinda disappointed. They expected more people to turn up. Honestly speaking, I had a terrible stomachache in the morning halfway during my sleep and it was so painful I actually cried. I turned up for training! It was pretty obvious. Straight after training, I began receiving smses asking how training was. "Tough?" That was the word which was typed the most. I asked my senior how I should reply and she said anything you wish. However, I don't like the idea of using me as a guinea pig. I may look and act blur but I'm not stupid okay? There's a level of deceive in the replies which I sent back. I told them that training was okay and they asked more questions abut it. I want them to come for the next training. Whether tough or not, depends on the individual. The other 2 girls found the training shiok but I'm very honest about it and I told the seniors that it was tough. I'm the weakest link, lol. As I have said earlier on, I'm not good in sports. Despite that, I'm willing to try my best.
I think this entry is too long. Shall stop writing. Bye! :P
* Remember, be a considerate pedestrian and give way to cyclists! They are very friendly and try at costs not to hit you. Don't try to squeeze too much patience outta them though ;) *

People get sad or depressed, I get frustrated or irritated.
School is sure taking a toil on me. Not so much on the curriculum but the social aspect of it.
I wanna say:
THANK YOU THEO! :)
I'm so glad Theo is using the book I gave her for her bday. It's a book containing quotes and stories that make you happy. At the same time, it can humour you sometimes and make you reflect at times too. She's using one of them for her nick on msn.
Here goes: "Sleep is when the real you takes a break from your personality"
Cool eh? Haha I love that book. Maybe that's why I bought her that book...but I also knew she would like it. Who doesn't like to be happy?
Anyway I asked her for a quote from any page since I wasn't feeling that good earlier in the night and got this: "How many roads must a man walk down...before he admits he is lost?" but somehow it didn't quite relate to how I felt at that moment so I asked for another some time later and had this one.
"Happiness can't be learned, and it can't be forced. The feet may learn the steps, but only the soul can truly dance."
I really felt better after reading that. Talk about word therapy! Hmm and I crapped to Theo for a while. I need to release the stress. I don't like keeping it inside. Too many worms make an apple rot faster. Thanks for saying this:
"Lol, it's better to release stress...then can concentrate on work better...and if they ask you questions like that, that means they see you as someone who is quite reliable so take it as a compliment...tough but sometimes better then the other way around..."
I will remember that!
Although a small phrase which "she" (not Theo) would not remember, it just got stuck in my head since that time.
"So much ($) just to make someone happy?"
And my reply to the person who said this: Yes. (although I never said that to her because she felt a little disgruntled about the whole thing and hence she said that)
Apparently it was a ____ for someone and blah blah blah and oh well... sorry just don't wish to talk about it. sigh.
Anyway, a quote from Grey's Anatomy, which I had just finished watching.
"Love is about choices." Though I don't really relate to it now. Maybe it will, to others. :) night.

Listening to: Avril Lavigne - Who knows
Mood: Carefree
Weather: great! a little sunny + nice blue sky
Ooo I love the weather!
I could totally relate to the "Who knows" song. The lyrics are meaningful, especially:
"Who knows what could happen, do what you do, just keep on laughing, one thing's true, it's always a brand new day." That's what I like to think whenever I wake up in the morning. I would stretch my hands right up into the air and yell in my head,"IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY! YEH!!!" and make myself look forward to the day. Haha but I don't do that everyday. Maybe I should do that more often.
Hmm anyway my mum bought a tart for each of the family members today and oh, I miss Delifrance fruit tart loads! It's the best fruit tart I've ever eaten. I have not eaten it for months I guess. The one she bought was from a bakery located below a hdb flat. You can't expect that much from this particular one though. The price already says something.
The first thing you look out for in the fruit tart is the pastry. It must be "durable" in the sense that it is not-so-hard-but-not-too-soft either. Next is the cream and the rest comes later.
-------------1 and a half hours later------------
This is so bloody ironic. Now I'm feeling soooo freaking sad! The tv programme that keeps me updated on the latest music and movies in jp has just ended its run!!! T_T How am I going to get updates again? Going online is another alternative but the tv prog compiles everything general and scenes that you don't get to see! SOBS!!!!!! sigh sigh sigh.
-------------------------------------------------
Anyway my mum cooked curry for today's dinner. I was kinda excited about it earlier in the day because there are CHICKEN WINGS. lol my fave but now I'm just solemn now. RAH.
Oh and I don't know why but these days, I just love to compare advertisements that seem contrasting in certain aspects and similar in the other aspects.
Two examples such as:
The Kumon ad and the Mitsubishi fridge ad if I am not wrong. (sorry for any inaccurate details)
The Kumon ad has this kid with her mum walking by the beach and the kid asking,"Why is the seawater salty?"
The mum answers,"I don't know."
The kid replies by saying,"I'll check it out myself."
"Good girl," her mum complimented.
They show about how special a Kumon kid is and that she would take the initiative by "checking things out" herself.
Next comes the fridge ad which features a local celebrity family. The parents introduce some green stuff (I shan't use shit. lol getting vulgar here) to the kid and the kid asks if she could make vegetables in the fridge. Her mother gives that "kids are naive" look and smiles at her daughter.
You tell me, which advertisement is more retarded? I say the Kumon ad. Why? In my opinion, the Kumon ad made the adult look stupid and idiotic while on the other hand, the fridge ad shows how navie children are. You can't blame children for being naive.
This also reminds me of this particular ad which promoted their milk products for young children and how their products were good for the development of childrens' brains. Fair enough. It was kinda funny when it was first broadcasted on tv. But at least it didn't make the adult look silly.
Right, I'm back to normal now. heh and I'm feeling kinda hungry.
:P

YO WASSUP BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Seriously I had a lot to say just now but now my mind is as empty as a nut shell.
Okay neways, I've never been so miserable or unhappy going to school. Don't take those 2 words seriously though. Even kindergarten, pri and sec sch were better than poly life.
I don't like poly life but I like its curriculum.
I like jc life but don't like its curriculum.
That's the reason why I'm in a poly but on the other hand, I'm also suffering at the "life" aspect.
I like my school's campus. I think it has one of the nicest poly campuses. But the canteen food sucks. Esp my school lol. I have not been to the rest of the canteens but the food must be around the same. The canteen that isn't so bad is mensa. Not menses. Thanks.
I don't know wassup with my class. There are about 3-4 cliques and I'm not part of any cos I don't wanna be cliquish anymore (it's good to be neutral eh?) and maybe those cliques don't welcome me and I don't care. Hence the uncool geek loner I am. Project group formation...I hate that. Some things happened yesterday and I don't wish to talk about it.
A few classmates whom I'd spoken to, from different cliques, asked me how I thought about the class. And my usual answer is: cliquish. Is there even such a word? I can't be bothered. One classmate told me how some other classmates were proud and couldn't stand it. Another said our class was selective and I asked in what terms. Project group selection that person said. And the bus came and bye bye. But as I always do, I try to tell people the other good side of things. Like for the proud thing, people from more humble backgrounds may find them proud while others don't. And those people can be quite fun too. Although I really don't know.
I like seeing old ex-classmates in school...chat with them for 20 blinks. I saw Isabel today. It was great to see her. She asked me if I could adapt and I said okay. Hmm but at times though rarely, I'm still very used to an all girls' environment.
I guess I have to put up with this for 3 years until I get the piece of paper that can get me into my desired course in uni. Maybe things will improve and I always welcome that. Other than that, I can't be bothered much.
I'm in a very much bo chap attitude now. Oh yeah and I'm trying to speak more chinese to break the ice among those chinese-speaking classmates but sometimes I feel weird...that they may find me weird speaking chinese. Lol. My chinese isn't that great like Li Bai but I can listen and speak, hey.
Whateverrrrr I wanna sleep. Am tired. I fell asleep straight after I came back home to eat lunch. But I don't wanna miss my beloved tv programmes.
Auf widersehen! (Why is German not offered in school?!?!?!)

Listen to your momma when she teaches you not to vandalise things ;)
