No more Reds

January 30, 2003 Misery Comments

My great grandmother passed away on Monday afternoon. I’m not close to her because of communication problems. I don’t speak my dialect although I can understand, she don’t even speaks in her last couple of years. It’s really sad isn’t it, that after someone you know passed away, you start to wonder how is it like to really get to know the person.

I guess it’ll be another quiet Chinese New Year again this year. I don’t really like visiting anyway. All I like about CNY is the new clothes, the festive mood and of cuz, the food. Mum has been stocking up plenty of new year snacks and I’ve been finishing them. I figured, once a year ma.

Anyway, I just found out today, about a module that was offered to me on 6th of Jan. It was a gem module on how the internet works. !@#$ I was dying to get that because my friend told me it was really a slacker module and I should have an even easier time because I already knew html. The school is evil.

Plug: Verbiage. Go look at her twitching.

it’s just a game

Sabine has a new layout. Looking purdy! I love the idea, it’s freaking cute. :)

And my classmate just told me about this wonderful site. Simply amazing. O_O

I’m on a roller coaster again, figuratively. I fucking hate it because I’m so tired of all these. Sometimes, I just want to run away from it all. The most simple solution is probably letting go, but I hope that it isn’t the only solution.

*edits* Everything is alright now. One more time this month and I’ll go crazy.

Crappin.

Doing relatively well, there are always the small stuffs that pop up once in a while like hateful blackheads but they are no biggie. How could they be when there are much more important things to do and think about?

School is still pleasant. It always is in its budding few weeks, when lagging behind a few introductory readings is alright. You know you’ll give them a miss later into the semester.

Boyfriend is generally good. Got me the Sims for six months anniversary and a dancing hammie again three days later. Yes, words spread. I found that increasingly, my online life and offline life is starting to intermingle with each other. Just the other day, one of my classmate was showing my site to another classmate in class. I caught him red-handed (hah), but I don’t mind. *waves hi*

Another classic example is when my online friend became my good friend’s girlfriend.

Anyhoo..

Who are you?

Annoying people

January 20, 2003 Bitchings Comments

If you are using an umbrella, please walk in the rain. Short people shouldn’t hog the sheltered walkway with their oversize umbrella, attempting to poke everyone in the eye with it.

In the mrt, it’s not nice to stick your whole self to the verticle bars like a magnet while the people around you try their damnest to balance.

If you stepped on something, look down and realised it is actually someone’s toes. Don’t look at it like it’s a nerveless, non-living “thing”. An apologetic grin would have been enough.

Anyway, I made a photolog for my assignment! My day wasn’t that interesting, I actually combined two days into one so that I have enough pictures to post. The so called earlier part of the day was actually on thursday night and the later part was taken yesterday. Yes, I went to marche yesterday. *drools*

This module is a killer. The workload is freakin heavy, there is one assignment every week and you have to do two projects individually. Help!

Six Months

January 18, 2003 Joy Comments

One of my classmate innocently told Tom that she thinks we wouldn’t last six months. It’s the 19th, it’s been six months! Weee

We thought she was mad when she said that because six months seemed way too long. It’s half a year know, and that’s like whoa!

Yes, six months does feels like a long time; but somehow, it seems too short as well. *shrugs*

Thinking back, a lot has happened. There are naturally the happy times together, the missings, some painful trash-things-out, a lot of confusion on my part… Hmm really, a hell lot has happened.

But its really sweet that after all these, it still feels like honeymoon period.

Went out with Huixian last night. Sad to say, “bestfriend” has become a meaningless label, even tagged between literal marks. There are memories, just a bit blurry… for a large looming figure of a certain boyfriend stands at the forefront… leaving us, or rather her, in shadows. I’m not being mean or anything. If I am, I wouldn’t be the only one who thinks so.

We both got a boyfriend, maybe some people just like things imbalance.

I felt so injusticed last night that I wanted to leave early. Let her taste her own medicine or something like that. Good thing I didn’t resort to childish antics like that later, but still the company is not even enjoyable. Good thing I had other close friends who are also in the same plight as I am. I think I’m more affected because she used to be a bestfriend.

PS: I know it’s tempting but don’t play with my email forms. I’ll hate you. :P

Personality Test

January 15, 2003 Work/School Comments

You have a strong personality that likes to take risks if the rewards are worth it. You don’t like being told what to do and prefer to take matters into your own hands.

Variety is the spice of life! You are comfortable in any crowd or situation, and always come away with new friends.

You make sure that your possessions will boost your image, no matter whether it’s a necessity or not. If one of your friends has it, you must have it as well.

You are bubbly and approachable. Unrestricted by the latest fashion trends, you buy clothes only when they look good on you.

Variety is the spice of life. You are comfortable in any crowd and get along easily with anyone.

You are a good listener, a generous and sympathetic person. You are an important part of your circle of friends, and offer a bright outlook to any situation. However, you can be easily persuaded by others.

Waiting for an e-lecture at 10. It was meant to convince us of the benefits of e-learning. Till then, it remains unsocial and seemingly boring in my opinion.

Different settings, different distractions and temptations.
Lecture on a computer? I will try very hard to pay attention.

Last week, we had a jc class gathering. There were ample amount of food, which would have been blissful if Tom haven’t made me believe that most of the food I eat is poison. It was generally fun, could have been better if everyone haven’t gone back so damn early.

This year, had been spending too much time with Tom. Gotta start working on the damn school and other areas of my life and let him have his own life back as well.

Secrets

January 8, 2003 Misery Comments

Why is there no one whom I could tell everything to? There are people who thought they knew me inside out, even more that I know myself but I knew better. I hide different things about myself to different people, I guess everyone does that because there is no need to divulge everything to the whole world. Everyone wears a mask for self-protection, but why can’t I find a soulmate whom I can totally confide in, completely and comfortably? Too cautious? Perhaps. But all I need is just one.

I realised I found one this year. I realised there is someone who knows all she needs to know, who came as close to the real me as possible, one that I think is real.

I’ll just wait for him to get married.

Happy Birthday!

January 7, 2003 Joy Comments

Boyfriend’s Birthday. *MWAH*
All I want is for him to feel happy and loved. He wants a condo, a career and good health too but I can’t help him with that.

21st birthday. Does that not sound old. I realised I’m considered 21 this year. But I’ll wait till my birthday before I add that dreadful one to my twenty. Adulthood and the price of it, all in the measure of a year. Ack.

When I’m a kid, as long as the new year strikes, I considered myself a year older. Now I rather not think about it.

Layout Change

January 5, 2003 General Comments

No more separate layouts because I haven’t got the time. The previous layout at the domain lasted about half a year already. It’s that old.

I went to Shangri-la Sentosa last night for my uncle’s wedding. Went there again earlier to swim, some relatives booked rooms there as well. I’m a little bit tan again, weee..

Oh the suite is nice. Too bad I didn’t bring my camera or I would have taken some pictures.

I saw Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo there, they were checking out today. There’s another girl though. :/ Chey.

Blah

The worst girlfriend I could have been on New Year’s Eve. It seems a hundred times worse because while I was behaving like a spoilt brat, Tom was trying to make everything perfect for me. How stupid it seems now. Had someone recorded the whole thing and play it out in front of everyone, I could have died of guilt and embarrassment.

New Year’s day. Five very unhappy people sitting on the beach. Two bitter couples, one unlucky friend. It seems funny now but it wasn’t that day. The good thing is that my girlfriend later enjoyed herself a lot at the foam party with her friends from poly whom she finally found (fucking connections), so much so that she considered the day generally fun. Erm.. I had some mad fun in the foam too but bygones don’t just disappear with the next second. While I seemed to be euphoric to new friends that I didn’t know well, I wasn’t that happy until the next morning. All is well now. He has been most forgiving.

I haven’t got any modules offered. Something is wrong. I’ll go to school tomorrow to enquire, they had to at least give me something to study. I can never get the modules registration thing right. I’m starting to develop a phobia for them. Jeez, gimme a break.

Oh well, Happy New Year everyone. *huggles* Your new year seems to rock compared to mine now doesn’t it? We’ll see. :P
