Argh…

Sleepless nights reading copious amounts of material still came to nought. Argh.

Half or quarter-fucked essay. Argh. 2nd one this semester! Argh.

And the stupid girl along the corridor just pronounced Niagara (nee-aa-ga-raaaahhhhh)

stop it. please.

i’m all for communal living but this insane drumming and the psycho ukelele strumming and the murmur of the queue in the really sort distance and the strong accents everywhere – they’re all driving me mad. i’m not usually this irritable but i am somehow. omg. someone save me.

and all this shit about fund conventions and global limitations and multiple statistics and random other conventions and how arbitration is affected by insolvency proceedings and yadda yadda yadda. argh.

tolerance raffli. tolerance is a virtue. patience raffli. patience is a virtue.

fuck. this is so fucked up. argh. and this fucking weather is not helping at all. argh. dumb shit.

*^$&^%$* weather



Seriously this weather is driving me nuts. It was 34deg celcius this afternoon – it was soo warm i refused to leave my room to walk to Macs which is prob like 5 mins away in Engin. Aargh. Copious amounts of ice cold coke should help but there are 2 problems: 1) coke will make me fat 2) my fridge in my room is wonky – it’s incredibly cold a second and the ice starts melting the next second. But at the moment, the coke in my mug is really helping. Plus Jay Zhou music and talking to friends over MSN.

Sane weather – where art thou?

With insane weather though, comes awesomely beautiful skies. Like really beautifully blue ones that seem to stretch till forever. This is my desktop wallpaper at the moment – to remind me that there is always something to look forward to in all the insanity that’s around me e.g. scorching weather that makes me sweat like a pig and impending Graduation.

cause everything is never as it seems

Random ramblings:

I’ve been eating too much red sour sweet thingies that I keep buying from the COOP. You know the kind that keeps you awake by virtue of it being sour. Haha.

I’ve been eating too much CNY cookies and tidbits that friends have been bringing back to hall and for study sessions back in BTC. Oops. I better run off all these excess unneeded food.

I’ve been listening to Ke$ha’s Tik Tok for a million times. Okay not a million –  a few hundred.

I’ve been revving up to start on my gazillion assignments which I’ve not started on yet! Basic research is almost done though for ICA, the first one that’s due.

I been needing to thank L, C and Y for keeping me sane this week. I think I would have just exploded figuring out what needs to be done first.

I’ve been trying to figure out what literary modernism is like and I need to know like pronto. I think I know it but then again, I don’t think I know it or know enough of it. Both of us need to get an A for this midsem exam no matter what. It can be done.

Note: This list is utterly random and will be updated as and when I feel like it.

cue laughter

omg i just laughed in the library because of this. hilarious shit.

what would my mama do | what would my daddy say

They’d probably tell me that a smile and a laugh do not solve everything. I should start being my age. And I should keep reminding myself about people and their bubbles. Being caught up in an age (or pretending too much to be in that age) during which I don’t think I fulfilled anything much is dangerous anyway.

A random quote: “You learn to put your emotional luggage where it will do some good, instead of using it to shit on other people, or blow up aeroplanes.“ - Margaret Drabble

Okay. Stupid weather is driving me nuts as well. Nap.

tik tok on the clock but the party won’t stop woah oh oh oh

And I’m supposed to be sleeping but I can’t bring myself to sleep yet. Somehow. Weird lei. And I need to wake up at 5+ to do readings for tmr’s ICL if I wanna have breakfast with hall buddies @ 8 and to follow other hall buddies to Careers Fair @ 10 and meet law buddies for lunch @ 12. Sich is the life of a student. It didn’t help that I marginally understood today’s lessons on Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” (there was something about how society dealt or deals with inadequacies if different ways or something) and IRS (we went through a cheem treatise on EU and EC law and their interaction with international conventions and how EU states have to grapple with both domestic obligations with international conventions and how the community can completely trump that). And I’m bloody sleepy. It seems that I will need 2 cups of teh peng to survive tmr’s ICL.

Anyway, Amplitude 09/10 was yesterday and I had a ball! It was soo fun – my last Amplitude so I was actually pretty sad – been in Amplitude since Year 1 lei. But I wanna form an Alumni acca group thingy so we can join them next year to perform at Amplitude or at PhoenixFest! Wheeee. We did Enya’s “May It Be”, Emmy Rossum’s “Slow Me Down” and “Sing Me to Heaven” which were all well received whee It does show that numbers do not really matter as long as you do it slow, steady and very well! I’m gonna miss choir loads when I leave hall and embark on a mind-numbing legal career. Argh. ><

Anyway, true to my fashion of trying to spice things up, with the help of C, I came up with a script that was intentionally cheesy to the max!

Once upon a time, as all stories begin, there lived a group of students who chose to live in a land of books, labs and assignments. these students would always be stuck in a book or to their laptops, oblivious to everything. One day however, these students became tired of living their lives this way and all alone. With this in mind, they began a rousing prayer.

<<Enya – May it be>>

Then lo and behold as if by magic, many found another with whom they could share their lives with. They’d spend hours reminiscing and sharing deep philosophical thoughts – like why plastic bags flew in a circular motion on a windy day, as if blown by some unknown force which understood beauty in simplicity. Some however began to doubt: Was this the right person? Things are moving way to quickly – Slow me down please?

<<Emmy Rossum – Slow Me Down>>

Once however each one of them knew that this was right and that feelings were mutual, they kept on with their promises and married that very girl or boy that they met that fateful day – when they stumbled upon their shoes or when a book fell on their feet or when by some freaky chance, they got to sit next to each other in a module that had assigned seating. At one of their weddings where each of them vowed to live with each other through sickness and in health till death did them apart, they sang a tune to each other that further sealed this sacred bond between them. This is that very song.

<<Sing Me to Heaven>>

And yes you guessed it. My favorite line has to be about the plastic bags flying – it just somehow always intrigued me when I was a child. Till now still actually. Haha.

And so I’ll miss you Choir! We have one more thing coming up – PhoenixFest and then it’s adieu till long. Argh. I don’t want to go to work. Okay – SLEEP.

time together isn’t ever quite enough

Heard this on the way back from crubbing on I’s car. Been listening to it for ages ever since K intro-ed me to Owl City. This, together with Dear Vienna and Fireflies, were the songs I’d listen to day in day out during exam prep. I love the simplicity and earnestness of all the songs. I have to see these guys live I think. And my favourite line has to be “We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow” – this conversation between them is soo sweet and lovely. I wish I had conversations like this.

Back to IRS assignment  - BAH.

Saltwater Room by Owl City

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together isn’t ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we’re apart, whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time.

Time together isn’t ever quite enough
