ah right my last post was on monday. saying i would be missing school on tuesday because i was sick.
well, i haven't been to school the entire week save for monday. weird.
i better not lose that license-to-miss-school mc. if not, dire consequences await me.
apparently half of my class is missing in action too
darn. it would have been quite cool to have lessons in a half empty classroom.
i'm curious to know what it would feel like. would it be any different?
how i wish i could just stay at home, lying on the couch,
watching house.
i can't quite place it but something about that show just draws me to it.
i less than three house.
haha that was a line uncalled for.
the steep uphill struggle began today.
my preparations for ioc.
i am late i am late!

coming down with something
don't quite know what it is.
oh well hope it's not too serious.
just a runny nose.
another week of school.
time flies.
i need to be more serious.
right now it feels like i'm physically drained.
intellectually dead.
but i always felt like that. intellectually.

i'm incredibly fat.
my upper back is fat.
my abdominal area is fat.
my lower back is fat.
my sides are fat.
in short. my entire torso is fat.
my arms and legs. i don't know. they're scrawny.
but that doesn't mean
they don't have a hideous amount of fats.
it's disgusting how much i can pinch.
it is sad. so very sad.

what a day. i must say a most fitting end to this period of time.
before it ends tomorrow.
the release of the midyear results.
slacked around in class. ate a bit in the sac.
henry luke markyeo myself. we made our way to henry's place.
we got day 5 of the second test of the Ashes series to catch! :D
took 74 to holland v. kinda like an alternate route. hahaha
it all started with frolick. so we walked past.
flavour of the day (i think) wasn't to mark's liking. we moved on.
luke wanted fries from burger king. i didn't mind onion rings.
we walked in and had a snack. hahaha
i found out sherilyn was at starbucks.
helped monica buy fries from burger king before meeting them at starbucks
to pass sherilyn her thumbdrive.
i came down. oh!
luke wanted to go swensens. hahaha
in the end, we had ice cream there. before finally making our way to henry's place.
possibly one of the longer journeys.
interesting stuff.
we left school around, 4:25pm? we reached henry's place a few minutes after 6.
just in time! haha and we sat down to watch the game.
exciting stuff haha.
an evening to remember. definitely memorable.

thankfully school ended earlier today. so i decided to follow isaac zhang and job to play tennis.
my third time. considering that the first was almost two years ago
and that the second consisted of 5 minutes playing time
i like to think of today as my first time.
i suck. hahaha
my forearm hurts. a result of my unbuffness :(
i can barely hit the ball across properly. a result of my lack of skill :(
i have a buddy in kim. a result of ?!?!
hahaha she can't really play tennis too!
i need to think deep.
i can't stand my superficial thoughts.
i don't really like how i tend to take everything at face value.
where's the critical thinking?
where's the constant questioning of ideas.
what's with the blind acceptance?
must knowledge only come as a result of critical thinking?
from the looks of things, it certainly seems so. if one is not able to constantly question what is being put forth in front of me, he is seen to possess a lesser extent of 'smartness'
of all nights, it has to be tonight. sigh :(

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that.
And someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that its probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this sweet sound that call the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
Its something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Wah dah dah dee dah dah roooo...wah wah wah wah dee dah dah rooooooooo..
rainbow connection - kermit the frog

why. questions abound.
answers are in demand.
this is so depressing.

no one said life would be easy.
does that mean that they're correct?
i'm very much inclined to believe them. i'm guessing the reason why no one has yet said life will be easy is because somewhere in their own lives, they've encountered some kind of difficulty.
maybe it's difficult to find food for sustenance.
maybe it's difficult to make ends meet.
perhaps it's difficult to have enough disposable income to satisfy one's material wants.
maybe it's difficult because they find no meaning in their lives.
whatever the reason may be, it always boils down to how life isn't that bed of roses we all wish it would be for.
or maybe it is.
life is a bed of roses. we all lie on it. and yet we fail to realise that beneath the lovely petals of the flower, lies a stalk lined with thorns. just imagine it like a flowerbed. the stalks are the coils of spring supporting us while the rose itself is the thing we lie on.
using the cliche metaphor that roses are good while thorns are bad, i guess one could say life is full of positives and negatives.
so all we need to do is to focus on the roses, ignore the thorns.
and yet. going back to the image of the bed of roses, it is the thorns that hold us up.
it is the bad things, the undesirable stuff that we all bury underneath in our lives.
we try not to recall them, we try to ignore them.
but they're still there.
and essentially they're the things that form the support of our lives.
whatever. i think i'm not making sense here.
this is not good. never was.
i'm not ready to progress. i never am.
life waits for no one.
perhaps that's why it's never easy.
i find it difficult for sure.
and that's why with regards to me,
no one still, has said that life is going to be easy.

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on
world spins madly on - the weepies
just another song i discovered, thanks to marissa.
love the lyrics.
i only have 2 more papers left. and yet i already feel the slackness overcoming me. it is difficult to study. it was always going to be difficult. sigh.
random note. it's much easier to calm myself down before a run than before a paper. even if the subject is one that i studied for and like.
oh how i wish i could return to those days.
now i'm some fatty.
yeah you have become beautiful

i'm only blogging because i've decided to go online while watching tv.
i've never really felt like freaking out so much in such a short period of time. and this is even when i've already resigned myself to dying for english and math. math hasn't even started. that's oen of the most terrifying aspect that i am struggling to deal with at the present moment.
i need to survive tomorrow and the two weekends. i need to survive. i don't know how.
