Erm, its not done yet but I really got to go now. There’s this survey job thingy and I’m already late.

And it’s still Raining

November 22, 2002 Blurbs Comments

The weather that makes you wanna curl up in bed and stay put all day is here again. It came a tad too early though, rained the whole freakin tuesday when I was studying in NUS forums. I was shivering really badly. It was really miserable to tell myself that I’m in desperate need to go indoors only to realise I’m already indoor. The only heavier coverted place that I can probably go to is the library, which I reckoned would be as satisfying as stepping into a freezer. So I went to get myself hot vanilla from coffee club express, meaning I had to climb all the way down through arts faculty and then up again. Why the hell did they had to build NUS on a ridge? But at least it was worth the trip, the hot vanila saved my life and became a favourite drink. Anyway I’m just glad I was not at home then, it wouldn’t have took much to give up my grades for bed and comforter.

Oh I bought a sigg water bottle, had been wanting one since I first saw it. I chose the impractical, little, 0.3 litre fanciness which is a bit too expensive for its worth considering that it’s not a vacumm bottle. *sigh* Hot vanilla and vacumm bottle means warm and comfortable bliss in a weather such as this. I really like it though, I finally found the motivation to drink plain water rather then buy high calories flavoured water when I’m outside. Eliza knows I get kicks just by flipping the cover open. She has a new layout by the way and is going to be my next hostee. lalala

It’s 0630 already. My bio clock is screwed up pretty badly. Once upon a time, I was sleeping at a healthier slot of 12 to 8. Exams screw us all. I’ve been reading this journal that’s really addictive. Ahah, someone to replace Eliza should she stop writing. :P ok I’m going to eat breakfast now.

The More the Merrier

Met up with a bunch of sg protags today. When was the last time I met up with a big bunch of people to just chill out? Meaning.. exclude the clubbings and school meetings. Long long time ago. It is so hard to meet up as a group with my other cliques now, only possible in the weirdest hours, which usually mean late at night. And of cuz, there would be nothing much to do except camp at some uloo place to talk while feeding mosquitoes or go to some club, thus forget about conversing anymore. bah

It was so fun today, I thought I would feel really old and out of place but it’s ok. I didn’t realised Eliza and Ling were both 18 until Eliza pointed that out. Unbelievable but true. The girls gave me a pillow which is kinda me. Purple, pink and girly. Eliza and gerbera gave me a little hammie soft toy, one really cute butterfly thingy (that you can scratch your back with, otherise it is quite useless :P ) and a picture of us three taken together last year. My mum asked me how come my birthday seems to go on through the year…someone go ask ling how late her presents were.

I’m going to change layout soon. They were talking about layouts, css and flash. I felt so outta touch. I didm’t know what the hell css and tableless layouts are until today, then found out that I’ve been using it since this. doh.

Soliloquy Layout Change

Reverie finally changed her blog layout. I love the leaves, seem like those you would expect to find in a sweet fairytale book for children. It’s just really lovely and sweet. You would never have imagined that the owner is a self-proclaim tigress. Haha.

Anyway, I should have known better than to get my ass on the net just now. I’ve got a paper at 12.30 and you can be damn sure I haven’t finish studying.

Hoshi: And you’re not taking the time now to study?
idyll: Aiya dunno
idyll: Maybe I should
hoshi: You ought to
idyll: I hate history >:O grr if I knew half of the module talks about history…I wouldn’t have taken it. Ok ttyl.. bye (plans to study)

That was one hour ago. Hah! Japanese studies.. the only module in asian studies that seems easy. Correction, seemed. Tell me just what is “wakon yosai”? Is it a place, a name or a slogan? Since I don’t understand Japanese, it sounds like anything. Differenciating them is hard enough, try remembering.

*edits*

Okie, am done with that paper. Didn’t seem too bad although I might have tricked myself into believing so by filling up almost every question. I wrote a hell lot of self thought up theories, which is bad because history is not supposed to be one of those areas where you are encouraged to crap. I don’t really care though, as long as it’s over, I’m glad.

Ok 3 more papers to go. Then the first thing I’d do after my last paper is to catch the Harry Potter movie. w00t! By the way, I’ve got a new harry potter ringtone. *beams*

Oh, something incredible happened today. I tried on my sister’s jeans and I could fit in! It’s the same pair of jeans she bought at the start of the year. I hate it because it looks great on her but try as hard as I might, I just couldn’t squeeze into it and I saw no way of squeezing into it ever. BUT I’m wearing it now! *smirks* A little too snug but what an ego booster.

It’s tough when one of your friends told you she has contemplated suicide and you knew she isn’t joking. I was horrified because I knew the person she was (I wish I knew the person she has become). The one I knew just wasn’t there when I spoke to her. In fact she wasn’t there for a long time now. I don’t think I should divulge too much. >:O
Sadly, cursing the motherfucker son of the bitch who is quite obviously the main cause of all her suffering to eternal hell and suffering every now and then doesn’t give me the satisfaction that is much needed. I need to shoot him. Nuff said. >:O

Domain update

November 4, 2002 Nerdette Comments

Have been thinking up ideas for a new layout. Any distractions from the exams is welcomed, not that they don’t come by easily. Have absolutely no inspiring idea. Came up with a couple but realised I’ve forgotten how to go about creating them. Not long ago, I would know the exact things I should do without getting my hands on photoshop.
My mind is full of bits and pieces of lumbersome facts from this module and that which makes no sense when put together. Aiya… it’ll get better though, when I could stop getting distracted from the tv, the fridge, bothersome sisters and various floating thoughts. That just happens to everyone right? I’m glad to know that at least I’m not alone.

Oh but my old classmate is pressurising. She lives in the next block but I can see her room from my sister’s window. We tried writing messages on paper and flashing it to each other once, but gave up and use the phone instead cuz it was too far to see anything. Near enough to see her slogging over her books every night though. In the past, I tried to use her as a motivation for me to study. But I never managed to stay up later then her and when I finally woke up, she’ll be studying already. Gosh, does she ever sleeps? Some people are just unbelieveable.

Belated presents

November 1, 2002 People Comments

I’m still receiving belated birthday presents and is expecting more. There are some who promised to buy after the exams and there are some who have bought something but haven’t pass them to me because we’ve haven’t got any time to meet.
ooh hur hur, I like it this way though, extended anticipation.

I just found out the reason why my Tom’s ex girlfriend doesn’t likes me. I knew she doesn’t likes me long ago. Apparently, she doesn’t likes the way I look, says that I’m not a good girl, isn’t good enough for him and prefers him with his other ex.

idyll (0:02 AM) :
hmm? not a good girl?
Tom (0:02 AM) :
oh ya
Tom(0:02 AM) :
maybe u look slutty hahah

Well…. alrighty. I haven’t even got the chance to speak to her and she’s judging me. That’s like funny.

Anyway, although I hate Christina’s latest MTV, I’m going to buy her album. She still has a great voice. Oh and currently, I love “A Moment Like This” by Kelly Clarkson. :)

When is the last time I took a quiz? Here’s one that I agree with

Which Avril Lavigne Song Are You?
