She has a strange way of linking. Hehe, pretty special.

Anyway, here’s this week’s friday five. Ahh.. Clothes!

2. What piece of clothing do you most want to acquire?
peasant or smock tops or a pair of low jeans from future state.

3. What piece of clothing can you not bring yourself to get rid of? Why?
Anything new because they are new. duh

Anyway, the new layout will probably wait. My weekend is occupied by projects meetings. Anyway, today is my best friend’s birthday. Sadly, she doesn’t celebrates her birthday because she has some I’ll-never-understand religious reasons. >:O

Schoolwork

August 30, 2002 Work/School Comments

Just yesterday at school, I planned on reading some of my readings dutifully when I go home at night. In a span of less than an hour, I found out that I had to finish 2 essays, each with around a thousand words, by 6 pm today. On top of that, I had to read up some readings in order to write my essays and look up a case study on urban planning for my other project. My lessons ended at 4 but I’ve got a project meeting at 8 pm. I was so shocked at the sudden increase in workload but I think I’ll survive. I’ve seen worse.
So after 6 pm today, I’m going to congratulate myself on getting whatever done and go chill out somewhere. Then over the weekend, I’ll go make a new blog layout up. The lack of colours makes me sleepy.

Oh by the way, I saw a secondary school friend at the project meet yesterday. I haven’t seen her in years and she was in my clique of close friends in Secondary 1. It was so good to see her again and we chatted about a lot of stuffs while waiting my project mates to arrive.

I’m going to work on my essays now…:P Anyway, thanks for all the comments and opinions about my relationship. I’m pretty happy again.

Plug: Jon. Creepy but I think I like this the best among his many well designed layouts. O.o

We’re ok

August 28, 2002 General Comments

Apparently. Had a long talk yesterday and got everything through. It was rather painful and I cried. Oh fuck, I never cried because of a guy before. I don’t even know why I did and can’t explain it. Maybe this helps.

“love is something u feel, that sweet bitter wrenching feeling in your heart, it makes u wanna cry and not do anything and all the times that we spent together just keeps appearing”

He was saying this when I cry because I finally felt it. I didn’t understand what the hell he was talking about when he describe it sometime ago and at that time I was still laughing at him. boo
I probably didn’t cry because of him, I probably did because I finaaly felt the thing the rest of the world is so crazy about while I think they are crazy. But jeez, there are so many definitions of love…I think you’ll know when you feel it.

I’m freakin pissed at the way he can affects me, even if it isn’t the dramatic I-can’t-stop-thinking-of-him.

About the girls, I don’t know… He says he doesn’t care about them and they knew he has a girlfriend. He said he’s telling me because he didn’t want me to hear it from someobody else even if the chances are low. I haven’t been totally fair to him too. There are times when I hurt him but didn’t realised if he hadn’t pointed it out, so much for saying guys are insensitive creatures. I dunno, I hope I’m not blinded already. So now..who’s hurting who? hmm

Anyway, we’re happy now, will be going for movies after school later.

ps: My Dad told me I should two-time because that’s safer. LMAO, wat kind of an opinion is that? :x

Cool off?

August 27, 2002 General Comments

I think me and my boyfriend have to cool off for I dunno how long. Apparently, a number of girls from his hall are doing loads of sweet stuffs for him. He’s quite crushable because he’s so extrovert and he ain’t bad looking. A lot of girls in my JC class crushed on him before, so it’s quite believeable when he tells me about this girl and that doing stuffs for him. I don’t know what does he expect me to do, he hinted that he expects me to do something about it but he can’t say what. wtf!?

I really don’t know, am I supposed to hate them or something? Bitch about them and complain how they should leave him alone? The only thing that’s happening is he jeopardizing the whole relationship.

While he’s making me insecure, I’m likewise doing the same. Whenever he says “I love you”, I’m just at a loss of what to do or say. So he thinks I don’t love him. We’ve talk through all this last night and it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know what to do now, can anyone give me insights of what he expect me to do? Jeez… and I thought guys are easy to read.

Clearance

August 23, 2002 Snapshots Comments

It started with a box. My mum gave me this black box and I decided to keep all my sentimental stuffs in there. I used to keep them in a pretty cardboard box but it became too small for all of them.

There..an attempt to keep seven years worth of sweet memories in a box. It contains letters, little notes, cards, photos, little gifts and other miscellaneous stuffs. You see, girls are sentimental creatures. :)

You know how people could start doing something and ended up not stopping until they are fully satisfied? After sorting out my box, I went on to sort my wardrobe drawer, then went on to my desk and desk drawers. While sorting, I was also throwing out a lot of rubbish, 3 bags of it.

The light pink plastic bags contains all the readings and notes from last semester. Basically papers that are going to be recycled. The other two bags are just junk. Oh can you spot a very unglamorous Barbie sticking out from the red bag? I didn’t consider too much when I chucked her out. One baby step into the twenties. :P

Plug: Rina, very pretty!

- Ok..this just amazes me. Sarah and Chris are getting married! I think it’s so freaking sweet and almost unbelievable. :)

- My fellow hamster mate moved his journal! Ouch for femininity. Hur hur! And there’s a redesign at Catherine‘s weblog. Ooh..very manly sheep. *chuckles* Do you see an irony? Both are really lovely. :)

-I think I have to work on a layout soon or I’ll soon forgot how to make a site. But those damn readings!

-Oh before I forgot, it’s been a month with me and Tom. The actual date is 19/8. Time really flies doesn’t it? We didn’t do much that day because we’ve got classes and he has hall stuffs after that. He gave me a ring with our names engraved on it. I thought he’s going to give me flowers because he asked what are my favourite flowers and wanted me to point them out when we were at the florist. My parents already knew about him … I forgot since when. Anyway, my mum wants me to bring him along for breakfast this Sunday. We’ve got some kind of vouchers at Hyatt. Lucky boy… but I don’t even know if I’m going to ask him. I don’t want to risk choking on my food.

Readings and changes

August 22, 2002 Blurbs Comments

NUS readings kills! I have bad time management and trying to catch up with my readings literally means having no life. I haven’t been going out lately, ok…minus the movie trip to catch Austin Powers. Truly, I have not seen anyone as much of a turn off as Powers. Dr Evil is on the other hand…hehehe.. How ironic.

Anyway, I think I’ve changed. When I was in year 1, which was not too long ago, I wasn’t so uptight about not reading my readings. In fact, I didn’t print a lot of my readings until a day or two before the actual exams. I’m not kidding…but now, I can’t believe I did that myself. What was I thinking?

Even though I’m much more concern about school, there’s still the sloth in me. I recently found out from my mum what she’s been telling her collegues.

Mum: “I never knew when my second daughter (sister) is having her exams because she’s always studying, exams or no exams.
Neither will I know when my oldest daughter is having hers because she just never studies.”
But of cuz she’s exaggerating. I do study and I’m getting much more hardworking this semester. I wonder what happened.

It’s amazing how people can change so much in a short span of time. I’m not one of those that change drastically that people from few years back don’t even recognise me. But I did change in many ways. I was reading my autograph book and a most of the people who wrote stuffs gave comments like “you’re so quiet and sweet”, “you’re so soft-spoken”, “you’re so thin”. Eh? Am I really like that in the past? I haven’t changed drastically but I suppose I’m not that shy anymore. You can’t afford to be shy in NUS. But people who really knows me would knows that I’m shy by nature. Aiya, so complicate…never mind.

August 17, 2002 General Comments

Nothing much to say, same old stuffs happened. oh I dropped my reading visual images module since I’ve got six modules and I can afford to drop one this semester. I’m going to talk it next semeter though, since it’s by far, seemingly the most interesting module ever. Theatre studies is pretty interesting too.

My week is boring, take my word for it. The usual stuffs happened, I don’t think I want to blog about marche anymore. Everyone just assume I’ve been to marche at least once a week ok? Haha just kidding, I did went to Marche last Thursday. My friend refuses to share the crepes with me and now I’m sick of it. All the better really.

Anyway, today..I’ve been trying to eat high fibre everything because I’ve been trying to shit for the longest time. There’s something there and I can’t get it out even after spending relatively long periods in the toilet umming and aahing.

ok, end of updates. Go visit Yume, he’s old. :P Go visit Tessie too, she’s simply one year older.

Happy Birthday!

Days of Our Lives

August 11, 2002 Blurbs Comments

Whoever says the days of our lives are boring? These days I find myself getting into the most peculiar situations. Here’s 2 examples which happened simultaneously in less than 24 hours. Let’s start from Saturday night.

First drama: Found myself at Madam Wong’s two with my bf and his NS collegues at 11 pm. Had a great time until this Ah Lian kept bumping into me on the platform. She did a couple of other stuffs and I suspect that she is trying to piss me off. I didn’t want any trouble because firstly, that’s what she wants and secondly, she looks fierce with bright red hair. I know I shouldn’t take off my sandals and left them in one corner, but they were hurting my feet. When one of the pair went missing, my friends starting looking around. Then slowly, more and more people started looking for the missing sandal. Somebody even had a torch. It was pretty amusing because we were up on the platform and nobody up there was dancing. Some people from below also started searching. My friends were like, you continue dancing, we’ll look for you but I’m too amused. The girl? She conveniently disappeared. I can’t be sure but I suspect she took it, my friends think so too.

Second drama (this one is classic): Today, went to Sentosa to help out with the NUS triathlon. I was at a U-turn and is supposed to guide the cyclists to turn at that point. Anyway, I was resting and this guy started talking to me. If I can remember correctly…

him: You’re studying in nus?
me: Yea
him: Which course
me: arts, you?
him: I’m studying in states
me: Why are you here then?
him: was training early this morning for the …. (forgot what he said), staying to help out
me: oh…(blur) why didn’t you join this triathlon? (he was fully geared like a competitor so I thought I should ask.)
him: I’m banned from taking part from this kind of competitions (pause) I have to give others a chance.
me: …(forgot what I said but I was thinking what the hell)

Then I stood up to take over my friend’s duties. The photographer who was standing there asked me if I know who he is, I said I don’t know. Then he told me he is Gerald Yeo, Joycelyn Yeo’s brother, who’s representing Singapore in triathlon. !@#$

I wasn’t really surprise then because I still don’t know who he is. But when I came home asked my Dad who this Gerald is, he was making such a big deal at the mere mention of his name, I didn’t even want to tell him what happened. Thinking back, I felt really silly. There were other silly stuffs that I said. When he asked if I’m joining any student exchange programmes, I said something about wanting to go to Liverpool to watch soccer for the SEP. pfft. I didn’t even take a picture with him because I didn’t freaking know, I helped the *starstrucked* photographer to take a picture of them together though.

So he’s a sportsman and is quite eye-candy, but it’s no big deal right? It’s just surprising that he’s so friendly, even to this typical, ignorant, knows-nothing-about sports girl.

Got to shower and sleep now. Slept only 3 hours last night. It’s a miracle that I’m still sitting upright. After all this drama this weekend, the week ahead seems loooong and boring. Besides, I haven’t read any of my readings yet. I’m freaking dead.

Happiness

August 8, 2002 Joy Comments

These days, I’m feeling euphoric. Things are going on really well, the only thing that makes me worried is that my “Reading Visual Images” module’s tutorial clashes with one of my lecture. I talked to the lecturer about it.

Me: I’ve got a big problem!
Lecturer: Everyone has problems *grins*
Me: Mine’s big, your tutorial clashes with my IF lecture
Lecturer: Then drop your IF module.
Me: Whoa? I can’t drop it now, I can’t add anything then.
Lecturer: We’ll talk about it next week
Me: Will there be a difference?
Lecturer: Are you interested in this module
Me: *enthusiastic* yes!
Lecturer: That’s what I want to know, if you’re interested, there’s no problem then
Me: *eyes wide*

I don’t know what’s up. He’s a really interesting lecturer. He has great passion in the stuffs he teaches, unlike some other lecturers I’ve seen. I’ve always respect people who has great passion and dedications in the things they do.

So that’s my only problem so far, which doesn’t really seem like a biggie after talking to him. I don’t know, I just wished he would give me some assurance whether I should drop or stay but I’m so interested in the subject.

Ok back to the happiness topic. I think it’s the most important thing in the world…isn’t it? I’m usually a happy person because I think I’m easily satisfied, I’m grateful for whatever that are bestowed to me and accept most flaws I have. Simple everyday things makes me happy too, like waking up with the morning sun shining through the window, clouds, people around me, receiving brown paper pakages from Japan etc….haha.

But these days, I’m exceptionally happy. I really can’t pin point the main reason why. There are various more apparent reasons among others.

One odd reason is that the start of school makes my life seem much more productive, I’m no longer thinking of ways to spend my time. Oh no, it doesn’t mean I’m a school person.. I just like the start of semesters where the workload doesn’t seem to matters.

And then there’s the national day. I love national days, I’d always get so emotional. I remember crying when I attended one particular NDP because I was so touched but the unity..haha and excuse me, I’m talking about a girl who didn’t shed a tear watching the well known tear jerker “qiu tian de tong hua”. This unity Singaporeans acquired all of a sudden on this particular day is so affecting. Yea I know things go back to normal the next day…kinda pathetic but it makes this day all the more important and special. Happy Birthday Singapore! *patriotic*

The other reason is because of my beau. Hmm I don’t think I’m in love yet, I have great expectations for love. :/ Anyway, it’s because he really knows how to make me happy, besides.. he’s always happy and it’s rubbing off on me. Just today, he sneaked candies into my bag. He mentioned in the past that he’s not romantic and he doesn’t do such silly and impractical things. Either he’s lying or he’s changed. haha.. either case, I’ve got candies! *big grin*

Long post isn’t it? You might think she’s crazy, going on and on about how happy she is. But I just want to freeze the moment in the form of words and I know things would change dramatically in coming September. *sighs* This is one nagging thought that crops up every now and then, in greater frequencies as the day inches nearer. I’ll blog about it someday.

For now, good night. To Singaporeans, Happy National Day!

Saturday:
We didn’t got to Madam Wong two on Saturday night because they were holding retrofest at sentosa that day. Luckily one of my friends remembered it before we went over. We ended up in Orange instead, it’s not ladies night but there’s no cover charge for us ladies. *gloats*
I got friendly with a ‘uncle’ who is in my opinion, trying to have some good clean fun and one of my friend got pissed. Here’s the scenario.

Uncle comes over and offers to shake hands while yelling for my name.
me: shakes hands, yells “Priscilla” back and grin
Uncle offers hand to friend
friend: crossed her arms and take one step back.

hahaha, I don’t know… we each had our boyfriends somewhere in the same club, it’s not like he’s going to try anything funny right? Anyway, we left the place at 2 and went to some place to hang out and talk about stuffs until 5 am. It was then I got scared that my parents would yell at me should they find out. They found out but were cool about it. Luckily…

Monday:
Went to marche again. It is becoming a weekly affair. Got my dose of crepes and waffles. Felt extremely satisfied.

Tuesday:
Arts bash at Madam Wong two, but I hate bashes because they are always way too crowded so I went to Lido to watch Mimic 2 instead. The movie is so different from Mimic in many ways and that’s why I don’t like it. bah, do not watch.

Currently:
Eating breadtalk for lunch. Weee!! Will go to school later for urban planning lecture. Am going to get some new tops from the bazaar at the school forum too. yay! Anyway, there’s a new pretty layout at Verbiage.

It’s Saturday! w00t!

August 3, 2002 Joy Comments

This first week of school has been surprisingly enjoyable. Many familiar faces in various modules, so I think I’m going to be just fine. Haha
I think my one and only resolutions for the start of this school term is to keep up with my readings. I’ve got tons of readings to do this semester and if I’m going to pull a procrastination act again, I’m going to be so dead near the end of the term. I have to go to school five days a week this semester, which is very much expected. I’ve got at least one lecture every weekday and lectures are fixed so I can’t shuffle my time-table. bah

So it’s saturday again! Weee.. I woke up at eight today because that’s the time I usually wake up to get ready for school and I’m already accustomed to it…despite sleeping at 3 am last night. Grr.. I need to learn how to sleep early, not wake up early.

Anyway, today is my good friend, Joelle’s birthday and I still haven’t wish her Happy Birthday because we squabbled last thursday and I haven’t spoken to her since. Uh, I’ll be seeing her later because we’re going to Mdm Wong 2 to celebrate her birthday and my other good friend’s birthday whose bday falls on 31 July. They are both 20. Ahhh.. It’s freaky. Guess what is my greatest fear besides cockroaches? It’s aging. Ack

Ok whatever, I’m going to worry about aging later because tonight is party night again! w00t! The lousy Panda probably won’t come because she had her own fair share at mdm wong 2 last night. Next time perhaps.

Alrighty, I’m going to watch some cartoon now… go visit doll‘s somewhat new layout because it’s oozing with style.

bday girl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LELE!!! I’m not late when I blogged this. :)
