My new love- Chinatown.

Image
Oh yes, yesterday was my first visit to Chinatown. I loved it. Im definately going back there sometime soon. :) Its really true when they say, you never really could embrace something unless you've actually experienced it first hand. I used to have this twisted notion that Chinatown is like a gangster's haven or something, like everyone there is just high on opium and there are plenty neatly groomed women clad in cheongsam with ceramic teapots in their hands... aaah the smell of fresh simmering chinese herbs wafting through the air. Ok wake up! That was just the crooked idea i had, induced by my years of social studies and history classes. Chinatown was nothing like that. At least not tangibly. But you could see subtle signs of the past that looks pretty much like how i painted it in my mind. You could imagine what the streets looked like back then, even juxtapose them in your mind. Its a tad magical if you could just senselessly delve into its past. I'm a a sucker for ever...
Ok, i forgot to elaborate. The Bolshevik's army descended on that fine thursday morning. And yes, i skipped school. The pain was immense. I reckon a brazillian does not even measure up to half of its agony. Oh sometimes, it really hurts to be a woman. So i was demolished and stayed paralysed to the bed for a majority of the day. Guys should hold some responsibility too man. This ain't right!

Forgive me father, for i have sinned.

Dissertation makes me cringe. Anyways, today i had EL tutorial. It was pretty daunting, but fun at the same time. Truth be told, none of my modules were ever fun, ok, lets disregard my Kinky law tutor for now. He is a classic act thats hard to follow. You know what, i think he is the highlight of my undergrad years. Today was so packed. I went for tuition in the morning where i actually bumped into my JC mate on the bus. Thereafter i had to rush to tutorial. I was late by the way. Hehe, because i had to wait for Lady Pissy! Ok ok, it was nothing lah. Like i said, even if we were early, it wouldn't have changed a thing. Apparently, out tutor has a preconceived notion about us SDE students. We are expected to be the least punctual. I mean hullo! We are after all located at the flanks of the campus land. Pui, threw us next to the main road is what they did and they have the audacity to expect punctuality from us? Too much! Oh well, I'll prove her wrong, as a matter of fact, we...

A day away from school.

These are my cupcakes. Oh yes, i baked them this morning, for my loved ones. ;) Anyways, we were at Adeline's place today. Hehe, lecture was self-declared, cancelled. It was great, like a chillout session, like something one would do after a hard day's work. The difference here is that there never was any hard day. Or at least, the minute work we subject ourselves to do not make us any worthy of such things. Heh, but being the bummers that we are, we caught Happy Feet and a few awesome episodes of Sex and the City. I like it already. Today was wholesome girly fun. I felt rather bad though coz we had to have Dash, Adeline's dog, locked up. He looked pretty benign actually, but i didnt wanna take any chances. haha. Poor lil thing. Pizza was fattening, but good nonetheless. You know what, we should do this again sometime. Haha, ok no fattening cupcakes or pizzas the next time ok. Just plain healthy steamed asparagus. Ick. Off to school tmr. *yawns*

Feeling like shit.

http://www.passionedsoul.com/steven/ If a picture paints a thousand words...Then the one above just wrote a book on the Kamasutra. For real. Stare at it a lil longer and you'd know what i mean. Oh, but if you were a guy or like not into men, it might not work. My first tutorial for the Semester. It was alright. Well, a lot better than i thought it would be, so i really can't complain that much. :) Oh, apart from the fact that my tutor knew who i was, UKBC smiled at me. Hahaha. Like it matters. Ok it does. I am in need of a morale booster. A lottt of morale booster in fact. I feel like shit. It didnt help that, i had to bump into a former classmate back in JC. You know what, she was like the outcast, geeky nobody in the F4 group ok. And there she was, strolling down, hand-in-hand with her darn boyfriend. Oh yes, she has a boyfriend. I felt like walking straight into the trunk of that huge raintree they just passed. Seriously. Its taking a toll on me man. I really need to catch t...

Dimanche.

This is my Sunday masterpiece. I just couldn't resist showing off my flower captured through my nikon lense. Its just so frail yet pretty, i love it. A true reflection of my state. Utter calmness. An ideal Sunday it was for me. Started off a tad late with tuition. I was like the slackest i could be. Sashayed into my tutee's place with just a few sheets of paper, a black pen, a calculator and my handphone. heh. Not even bothered to bring along a bag for all that. It was, well, like i said, ideal. An hour and half passed and soon it was time to head back home. Daddy, brought us out for lunch at Tong Seng, i believe thats what its called. Food was clearly good and rather cheap. Which was an added factor to the idealness of this Sunday. We then walked to Suntec. It was good. My family and I, we walk alot. Too much at times, but its all good. Shopped a lil there, even bought a new computer table for the new pc coming in tomorrow. Oh and guess who we bumped into at carrefour? Oh you ...

Flatus expulsion makes me whole.

The perfect picture to represent my state right now. Things are kinda rocky, but they are smoothing up. whatever that means. Im regretting taking that geog module. Its big words are giving me massive headaches. I have decided not to attend anymore of 3280 lectures. Why? Well, put it simply, she annoys me. My attendance for the other wednesday and friday evening lectures will be entirely dependent on my mood on that particular day. *shrugs* I am after all governed by my mood. Its only two weeks into the semester and im already feeling so lethargic. Ahh...Its such a drag. I have yet to come up with a darn dissertation topic. It freaks me out, yes. But, i cant get myself started. Every tiny thought just seem so irrelevant to the course. I'm actually getting nightmares about it. Speak to me of lord, guide me through this. Moving on. Tuition. I dropped him. I spoke to his aunt personally and also to his mum over the phone. His mum sounded so helpless. For a moment, i felt like a the mos...

Ultra-frust.

Image
Yes, a word for meself. Ultra Frust. Its a state of blatant frustration over thing sthat are beyond your control. It gets wayyy out of your league and you cant do shit about it. Suck it all in and gyrate in agony is all one could do. Anyways, everything seems to be slipping out of my grasp. I wanna quit tutoring this particular brat. No shit. He drives me crazy. Today, we were suppose to have tuition at 2pm, i got to his place only to find him MIA. Wasted my damn time man. I've had about enuff of his bratty antics, its gotta end. I'm going to end it. I have two options though. Cut him loose, or pass him over to a close pal. Hehe, my dad said i should not pass the pain over to my pal... Whatever comes, i dun care, i just need to ditch this miserable pain. Now thats some traditional body charm. Cya around!

Still frustrated!

I bidded, I waited, and i didnt get it, so much bidding, ranking and waiting. Still, no luck. What the fuck is all this about? Seriously. And lecturers calling out names to answer pathetic, vaguely phrased question. Ahh, its just too much for my patience. Seriously! You know what, i was actually trying to upkeep my positive attitude and was rather hopeful of its stay. But all this shit is just too bloody much. I need something to distract me. You know what. I'm gonna sign up for that canoeing thingie called what? Oh ya, Explore de Quay. And guess what, my parents dont hafta know. In fact, if things go well, they dont have to ever know about it and i could go for more it. And if i get sucked by some turbulent or undercurrent or whatever shit, then they'll know about my escapade from the coroner. Either ways, i wont be around to hear their crap about how dangerous this and that is. Fuck man. Im nearing 22 and I've not accomplished even half of what i'd wanna do before i d...

Frustrating

Bidding for modules. Does it ever stop? I really contemplated just walking into the lecture of a module i wanna take and announce to the lecturer my intentions. "I want to take this module!!..." Thats all i'd need to do. And the module is mine. No bidding bullshit or being restricted on using only the points from the General Account. It such a pain. Seriously, i just spotted a new pimple. No thanks to bidding! Ahhrrghjiksjhfowef. I I wanna eat.

Have a good year!

Its the second day of the new year. I am finally logging in to update this. Hmmm....lets see how was my transition to the next year like.... I was at Harry's Pub, the one at orchard and a couple of hours after the clock striked 12 i had a hideous caucasion woman come up to me, asking if my 2 sisters and i were hookers. Yes. I didn't spell that wrong, no typo whatsoever. She should thank her lucky stars for having blasting music surrounding us and also having my parents around. Coz, good god in heaven, i was that close to committing murder. Never knew i had such rage in me. Ah. And when i merely got my message over with a shake of a head and a wave of the hand. She had the audacity to wish me a good new year. Well, i didnt manage to do this then, but here i will....Fuck you, slut. Then again, i cant blame her can i? I spent the earlier part of that night with my mom and sisters, on the seocnd floor just picking out hookers on the streets of the inner orchard alley. It was fun. H...
