it snowed today in vancouver last year. (did i get that right?!) haha. it snowed itself silly. and every single one of us blogged about it. I checked. haha. it made mugging easier cos i was excited everytime i looked out the window (plus it was S/U anyway). why doesnt it snow in singapore? =S
advertising was fine, could have been worse save for a very decently done project that got us very decent grades. i hope that's enough to save me. as for marketing, heard our lecturer kept our project for the showcase for next sem's students, so i presume we did decently well too... which means i should start on my massmedia&culture cos tmr's marketing is open-book AND i S/Ued it anyway. suddenly, it seems like all the shit work that went into the projects are paying off. I hope they are enough to keep me alive this sem. mug hard people. =p

i swear i hate exams. I really think this is my hardest sem ever. I'm doing so many things, the last thing I think about is school and exams. my own fault. But seriously, school has never felt this draining. i know it'll be over soon. but i also know it's gonna show, cos i'm so tired and sick of mugging and i bet the results will paint the whole picture. it's amazing how my mood changes so drastically, so fast. exams never got to me this much. As they say in the boat, FOCUS! sigh. this sem has been horrible. Sometimes, i just want to give it all up and watch tv or row or dance or row or run or doanythingelse. tell the escapist in me to shut up and get me through the next 6 days. now.

i had to share my joy... mummy made pasta for me out of the blue at 2am in the morning after realizing i haven't had anything since lunch at 2pm. BLISS. =) and a crazy best friend called too. The little things that get me all happy. back to mugging mugging mugging =) Suddenly the world seems a friendlier place...

how am i gonna survive a full month without rowing? HOW? perfect example of how no-life i am. haha. i just got back from rowing and i already miss it. I think i'm mad. we did 4 sets again today, but it was so much more bearable and fun. i know u must have heard this so many times now, but i do love my team =)
it's officially 3.5 days to exams. I am terribly screwed but also trying to calm myself down at the same time. take care people.

Bad Day
Daniel Powter
Where is the moment when you need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Tell me your blue sky's fade to grey
Tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You're standin' in line just to hit a new low
You're fakin' a smile with the coffee to go
Tell me your life's been way off line
You're fallin' to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie
You work on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
You're comin' back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day... you had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day, you're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie
You work on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
You're comin' back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day...(mmm... holiday)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well all that strong
And I'm not wrong... (Yeahh!!)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
(oh, when you're down)
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
'Cause you had a bad day, you're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie
You work on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, you see what you like
And how does it feel, one more time,
You had a bad day... you had a bad day
(ahh yeahh!!)
You had a bad day 3x
(faded)

Superman (It's Not Easy)
Five for Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face
beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd
but don't be naive-
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
but won't you concede?
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away: away from me
It's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me.

i need to mug like there's no tmr (though someone told me if there's no tmr, she wouldn't want to spend today mugging... i agree), row with all my heart and soul (considering tmr's my last training till Jan 07. Die la...) and dance like the world IS watching [if no one watches, then why bother? =)] take care people, i'm finally feeling the heat from exams. This sem has been so crazy, and I still have 3 more to go (IF i dun screw this sem badly enough). go go go! mug your guts out!
