Vaguely reminiscent…

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.

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

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.

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

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.
