ONE YEAR

@ 11:26 AM

HI GUYS! I just realised my last post was a really long time ago. Pardon that last post. It was just me trying to vent my frustration somewhere... and what better place than my blog. =) Tks to everyone who bothered to see if i was ok. I AM =) no worries.

First week of school was fine. I've already managed to miss my first lecture. haha. die die die. But it does help somewhat to have people I know with me for most of my modules, especially YQ!! muhaha. munchie on tues? =) Most of my lecturers are pretty interesting characters and at least I haven't fallen asleep (soundly) yet. SO i take that a sign of better things to come. =)

Have I mentioned rowing makes me happy? haha. It was a tough 2 hrs today, but I felt a great sense of satisfaction. Lunch and the usual rotting session made my day even better. Then, weiyin and I decided to buy a small tub of ice-cream from Giant (the 250ml kind) instead of paying $4 a scoop from some Jap place at Marina. muhahaha. it was crazy seeing 2 gals eating out of a tub along marina/suntec. But we had fun =) (we're also gonna meet an hr early to run tmr before rowing. haha) Then we went shopping! Nothing like retail therapy to brighten your day =) I'll just say I'm decently happy with my purchases. =) decently happy. =)

Looking forward to meeting everyone again... like the people from team B whom i havent seen for like 2 weeks?! that's terriboul! we need to meet! And everyone else, we need to mahjong/k (judy, yi, yirang), we need to to sit and bitch (my el gals), we need to sit and bitch (my HC gals). =)

Anyway, random pictures coming up...

i think i've been doing so much the last two weeks it doesnt feel like the "rest" i wanted to give myself before school starts. Don't get me wrong, i'll die without meeting friends, without rowing, without doing all sorts of nonsense with everyone and without just spending time sitting around doing nothing with everyone. But i'm actually tired. hahaha... before school starts tmr and this is how i'm feeling. Maybe it's also cos i've just heard from some friends and suddenly realise that i've been neglecting them or somehow just not showing enough concern. I suddenly realise I should be so glad that people still bother to call me, treat me as a good friend and share their problems cos i'm such a passive friend. And it happened 3 times in the last week. THRICE. time to change i would say... time to change... *glares at self* What happened last night really affected me and it doesnt even concern me directly. and I got another disturbing sms from another friend that got me all worried. worst thing? i dun think i can do anything... *glares again*
plus, rowing sucked yesterday. For the first time in a really long time, i was damn pissed in the boat and I was pissed at myself. my stroke sucked, i was dying/out of breath/wanting to kill someone by the 3rd set, i was pacer (only for 3 sets!) and already doing a terrible job at it and THE BOAT JUST WON'T MOVE. all that PLUS i know of certain changes to the team that i hope won't kill whatever little morale is left. Today's break was definitely good. Maybe we're all just tired... maybe things WILL improve next week. i really see something special in this team and I think we can do it TOGETHER. I will hope... now, i'm just gonna crash into bed.

wakeboarding is damn fun. add a chatty boat driver, a few cool tricks performed by various pros along the way, the adrenaline of standing on the board for the first time, actually riding the waves (for a couple of seconds la), and great company, and you get a great morning! granted i only had less than 2 hrs of sleep the night before and i'm still worried if i can row properly tmr, wakeboarding is sth everyone should try out. Saw a couple of friends there too. Finally realised that school IS starting. oh well. At least I had a good morning. =)

school sucks! urgh. i'm sorry sel, but u know my pain right? at 2.21am and i'm STILL trying to settle modules. ARGH. it's been a VERY busy week. I dont actually remember what i did the last 3 days. i'm ALMOST disoriented... i want to row... and let it all out. =X

i swear my salsa guys are improving... EVERY SINGLE one of them. it was a good night out dancing... though i was dead by the time judy and yi came. oh yah, did i mention? I NEED SALSA HEELS! more $$$ out the window... went for supper at some teochew porridge place. The food was alright, but the conversation was definitely interesting. different issues on how guys should be gentlemanly (yes, you SHOULD open doors for girls!), how girls should be virtuous (not too sure abt this one), how you should not EXPECT your bf to have a car, how hard it is to let go after being with someone for a long time... very though-provoking.

after all these years, keanu reeves STILL oozes this certain charm that makes girls go wild. And I now know why... I just watched the Lake House with jiaen, my fellow keanu-mad friend. While we both thought it was a disappointing movie - Ok, maybe not "disappointing", but we really expected more from it, we agreed the leads did a wonderful job. The plot was paper thin, so luckily it had a great cast. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock were my ultimate movie couple from their Speed days. I think i caught that movie at least 20 times. muhaha, and i'll watch it again anytime. The two of them had this understated, subtle chemistry that sizzled onscreen. I love. I do like the lake house too. But you can't really build a glass house at lower pierce reservoir right?! which is why i'm starting to like watching movies a tee weeny bit more. unlimited imagination and fantasy, even if it's only for 2 hours. =)

sleeeeeepy. Read about cass' surprise birthday party on dan's, chris', selena's or cass' blogs. With so many of them talking about the same thing, i think i can take a rest and let them do the talking for once. muhahahaha =) For the record, we made cass cry. =) It was an evil plan hatched by tk and chris and supervised by yx and i think it was absolutely marvelous! muhaha.. we love you cass! Happy Birthday! *muaks*
Side-note to christine chen and daniel tan, what exactly do i owe you both?! Why do this to me everytime? why why why? *bleah*
haha... and to everyone who was vaguely worried about my previous post, everything's settled! Things are a lot simpler when you just do it (i do love nike). Watching Lake House tmr. *excited*
