hurry up and wait



Had a super tiring day today. Had 211 meeting in school today till about 4, and then went to Bishan to meet Jul so we could head to town and get her stuff. Really really wanted to die when I was waiting for her to try on clothes cause I was so tired! Haven't been this tired in a long while even when I was pulling all-nighters. Jul's coffee woke me up a little, but I was yawning like crazy after dinner.

Plus I slept super late last night, cause Liverpool had a FA Cup match and I was watching at Alvin's house. Took public transport over for the first time and... It was super confusing. Cause I checked gothere.sg, and it said to take 81 and then walk over. Then Alvin asked if there was 27 anywhere near my house cause 81 would take really long and stopping at the library would mean walking a longer distance.

And then Gabriel told me to take 168 cause it goes in the same direction, and that I should stop at the library. And then I asked Alvin, and he said I was supposed to stop one stop before the library, which was apparently 3 stops after the TPJC stop. So okkkkk, I went to take the bus and Gabriel said he'll meet me and we can walk over cause I have absolutely no sense of direction. Spared Alvin the trouble of coming to get me hahah. And I still ended up at the library cause I didn't even see any of the landmarks Alvin told me to look out for! So I asked Gabriel if I should walk back to the correct bus stop and he said that if I was opposite the library then I was at the correct stop. I hate Tampines! Super super super confusing. The whole place is too big already. Pasir Ris is still the best! Or Bukit Panjang! Although it was kinda like an ulu village when I was still staying there.

Anyway, it wasn't a very exciting match on the whole, but both Suarez's and Downing's goals were pretty good I think. Quite happy that Downing scored the winner! Referee and linesmen were quite terrible IMO... Had supper with Gabriel (tried a new type of prata hahah) and cabbed home after that! Had a really retarded conversation with the cab-driver.

Driver: Are you schooling?
Me: Yep.
D: So school starts again tomorrow?
Me: (Thinking "What? School always starts again on a Monday what?") Yep.
D: So are you in JC or Secondary School?
Me: ER. Uni.
D: Oh year 1?
Me: Year 3.
D: So which JC were you from?
Me: I was from Poly.

LOL. I was telling P about it today and she was saying he got everything wrong! Yahlah so terrible hahahah. I think it must have been cause it was too dark to see properly! Or maybe cause I was wearing specs.

Anyway, I only slept at 4 plus. Really really jialat. Plus I played tennis with Edwin in the morning and it was super hot. And then I met Cristal and her friend after that to help them with Spanish. Next time cannot like that already cause I was really half-dead during today's meeting. Can feel my brain trying to think, but failing. And that was with the help of Starbucks!

Oh and Bryan got his results back! He did quite ok I suppose! Their grading is really weird. Every 5 marks is a grade lol! He was supposed to be able to check his results at 5pm, but apparently something went wrong and they only released it at 11plus. Luckily NTU's quite reliable one! If not... I think I would have died many many times from stress and anxiety by now.

Ok er that's a short update. Tennis tomorrow again! Another peer assessment zzz. And I have to finish the match with squash guy. Hopefully I'll have a short, quick, merciful end. And a not too embarrassing one please. Lol. Gonna be playing tennis 3 times this week I think. If I'm playing with Edwin again on Sunday. Luckily the other 2 times are gonna be in the evening! I am getting way too tanned already. Haven't seen Bryan in ten thousand years (or a month at least) and I think he'll faint from shock when (and if. lol) we finally meet.

Gonna go head to bed now. So tired.

breathe


So, it's been quite a few days and I have accomplished... Zilch. Oh wait our FYP's handed up already hahah. So that's one thing. And I'm gonna finish 305 elearning today so that's be another. Hopefully!

Went shopping with Juliana yesterday but I didn't really get anything! So I'm still in need of a pair of shorts and a belt. And something else that I can't remember at the moment! H&M had super cheap shorts but not in my size, plus the queue for the fitting rooms was CRAZY.

Can't wait for tennis with Edwin on Sunday. P's joining us! Hopefully it won't be so hot. Oh and we played singles again during Tuesday's class again. Our instructor randomly split us up into groups! Played with squash guy and almost died even before the actual playing started. He was making me run all around the court lah. But he is very very nice. And quite gentlemanly! Not like some of the other guys... Hah! Was chatting with my instructor halfway through the lesson about random stuff. He is so very funny! Yu Ping was playing during the time and after class she was like "Can see you two standing there and laughing!". Hahah. There's gonna be doubles again sometime in the next few weeks. Er hopefully I will have improved quite a bit by then.

Oh and we had a surprise quiz on Wed for 211. And I got there late. Man. Terrible cause I haven't been concentrating in class or taking much notes. But I was super lucky! Cause I got 20/25 correct (it was a crossword) and Prof said those who got 20 and above can just go ahead to round it up to 25. Woohoo. Got back my assignment and the grade's pretty decent too. So that's good news.

Man my whatsapp spazzed out on me just now. Luckily it seems fine now. Was on the verge of reinstalling it which would suck cause I think it might wipe out my entire chat history!

Okkk I'm gonna go drag out my 305 textbook now and finish up my elearning. And I'm thinking of going to Giant tomorrow to get some stuff. Hope the weather will be good so I won't be too lazy to walk over! Wanna get some ice cream and just generally walk around. Haven't been exactly sleeping or eating well nowadays so... Need something to brighten up my mood! P's asking me to watch this show that she's hooked on now hahah. Shall get it from her on Wednesday! She is a terrible influence on me cause she got me hooked on Running Man as well hahah!

Hope everyone will have a great weekend! Listening to Taylor Swift songs now and man, so many memories...

Hahah alright I really need to get started on that elearning and head to bed soon. Trying to embrace a healthy life-style!

a hard day's night



I need to remind myself never to play tennis on just one hour of sleep. I am so exhausted and my eyelids are nearly succeeding in gluing themselves shut. Trying to force my brain to work on FYP now and I'm barely succeeding. Not even sure if I can last till 3. And I am beyond dark. I look burned. Crispy and burnt. With the worst tanlines ever. But I'm happy. Hahah.

Anyway, I think Edwin and I are really improving. We're spending less time on picking up balls and more time on real playing now. Lucky I've got him to train with! And he got a new racket so I've got his old one now. Can ask Jul out to play with me next time! I'm determined to conquer this tennis thing. LOL. 

Had meatballs and chicken wings at Ikea afterwards. Man the things we say and do are so retarded. Can't believe we've known each other for so long already!

And I can't wait for FYP to be over. The only thing I've gained from this is... Increased typing speed. This is the most useless "module" ever. Our Poly one was so much more applicable in real life and really made use of what we've studied. This one is just... More about just trying to get to the end point rather than learning something in the process.

Ok I've just done whatever I can for it. For now. I've been listening to Simple Plan's Summer Paradise since Edwin introduced me to it. God it's so addictive.

Gonna go do some other stuff now before I sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day. Can't wait for tennis on Tuesday, and then XLB after that. P asked me to stay over at her house after that cause it'll be so late by then! Wed's FYP submission date, and then I'm going shopping with Jul on Thursday. Gonna head to Queensway so that she can get new shoes, and then to Orchard for shopping. I need a new pair of  shorts.

Alright I'm gonna head to bed. Was at Jul's house discussing some stuff just now. Excited much. :D

Looking forward to the weekend. Need to exercise some stuff out of my head. Hopefully Sunday's weather will be good. Debating whether I should go out tomorrow, or stay at home and work on some stuff. Have to do FYP either way. Deadline's coming. So close, yet so far. By the time I get to tennis class on Tuesday, we should have settled everything. Can't wait.

My brain feels like it's bursting out of my head from all the thinking and I just want to sleep myself into oblivion.

I've just finished The Hunger Games trilogy. In the space of 24 hours hahah. Not bad, but the love triangle makes me want to smack somebody in the head. Why the heck must almost all books for YA involve a love triangle? Isn't a simple pair enough? Maybe people like to torture themselves. Or take sides. Look at the Team Edward (I typed this as Edwin FHL)/Jacob thing. LOL. Me, I like it short and simple.

Ok it's 4:15 now and I'm gonna go head to bed. Here's hoping I can fall asleep before 5am.

G'night world.

on sleepless roads, the sleepless go



I was in such a good mood today! Haven't been too happy with some stuff... So it's nice to be in a happy mood for once! For some reason I woke up at 8am today, when my class only starts at 2.30pm! Was yawning away in class. Slept at 3am last night cause I was playing Draw Something in bed hahah. Cristal was telling me that she's been sleeping really late during recess week cause she kept playing it at night! She was looking half-dead today too hahah.

Anyway, gotta do FYP now so it's quite... Sian. Really can't wait for it to be over! And luckily Anders is doing the formatting for the report. If not really can die cause I suck at formatting. He's a whiz at it! Listening to Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift now and it's so haunting. Tempted to go read Hunger Games now, before the movie comes out.

Anyway, time to head to bed now. I rarely go on youtube but when I do... I seem to get stuck there for an eternity. Hahah. Was watching a whole load of Zachery Levi stuff (he's Chuck on... Chuck lol. and Flynn Rider on Tangled). His voice is like woah. Didn't know he could sing that well. I was telling Gabriel about him and he was like "Aiyah auto-tune lah!" But he sang live with Mandy Moore so... Can't be all that auto-tuned right? Just listened to my last song for the night. Slow Burning in a Dancing Room by John Mayer.

Time for bed now! G'night world. Hopefully it'll be a good day tomorrow too. It's my FYP Prof's class tomorrow and P and I skipped the last seminar and he just had to talk about us that class and he said we pon-tenged. HAHAH so paiseh ok.
