her laughter had been the soundtrack of the first five years of their marriage, and a greatest hit for the next few decades.

so how's school?
it's been back to school for 2 weeks now. 2 weeks of happy 3 day week. what with mondays and fridays off (smiles gleefully) but we all know all good things come to an end. tomorrow is torture round 1 and millions more to come. yes tomorrow i have school. two jam-packed tutorials in fact. hell starts from 10am (10 freaking am. i bet kian siong is rolling his eyes just about now -yea yea i know you have to go teach at 6.30am but still have some sympathy over here) all the way till 1pm. then it would be ok since i am meeting my honey weihui whose birthday is impending in about a week's time. we are having lunch together in school. my first lunch in school after two weeks! i think i know why i don't feel involved in school. it doesn't take a genius to know that i am not even around in school long enough to say 'hello nus, i would like to know you."
i go to school only if i have to. and i leave school once i am allowed to. since having a car means that no time is wasted while waiting at bus stops for the bus 96, try desperately to squeeze up the bus with fellow students and get down at clementi where i will meet more students, i am guessing i don't really meet alot of nus students?? but that's just a wild guess. (you are welcome to disagree.)
at this point, friends like wanzi or xinyu would automatically start their lecture about how i should get a cca. the point is i actually like leaving the school right after lessons. i breathe easier outside the invisible boundaries of nus. it's liberating. i cannot fathom how anyone can actually live in hostels. because that's like 24/7 in school. lessons-school. no lessons-still school. my mind is screaming just at the thought of it. and cca means another responsibility. i shirk responsibility when i can! why on earth would i knowingly court extra responsibility? it adds burden and i don't like to be tied down by some additional thing. and i am the kind whereby i either do something extremely well or i don't do it at all. so there will definitely be pressure placed on myself by myself which is not good.
anyways so school's good. minimal would be the word actually. good in the minimal way or minimal in a good way haha. and i do have friends. i don't go around making them but when they come along, i am actually quite capable of holding a conversation.
also, i have been a tad better at being disciplined studywise this semester. off to a good start i would say. hopefully my new attitude stays. keep your fingers crossed :)
@ 2:32 AM
i am self-reflecting
so much has happened. between then and now. i look at my past entries and i think to myself- am i the same person who wrote all of that? my answer to that would be 'no, i am not' i am guessing you would be scoffing at that and saying 'who is she trying to kid?" but i would like to believe that i am growing (not in terms of height mind you). and i truly think that i have. sometimes i think people have this mechanism within themselves which controls the way they behave or react to things. it's just like when someone throws you a situation, you would just behave in a certain way. that's what i am talking about, something which comes naturally, like an instinct. if you hate your particular mechanism within you. fight it. change it. alter it to the way you want it to be. the day when you can stop reminding yourself that you shouldn't do this or that is the day that you have won over that mechanism. and boy would you love that day. i know i do.

of zombies and birthday surprises
i cried when i was watching the movie. which is a big deal really, because i don't usually cry when watching movies? i think if i am the last person on earth i would kill myself. honestly i would go crazy not talking to someone AND getting a response. it messes with your head. definitely not healthy.
anyway the movie! love it love it! another zombie movie which is just what i like. i was sitting in between mitchell and wanzi in the cinema. those two girls kept whimpering and saying that it's very scary (when i didn't.) wanzi was trying to hide herself by wearing her hood over her head and mitch wanted to leave 30 minutes into the show! so lousy. i was the only one watching so happily and munching away on my popcorn.
great movie. good plot and solid acting! brillant movie really. ahhh i love it when i watch a great movie haha and i thought the ending was good. i am still wondering why the reviews were saying the ending was awkward. i thought it was appropriate. a pity the movie was a little short.
i think i can go on and on talking about zombies and how fascinated i am by the whole idea. but i will not disgust you further.
oh yea today's the day i move from being a teenager(how juvenile all you 19 years old and below kids haha!) to an adult. young one that is. it's ok i am not going to bawl and resist the whole growing old thing. get back to me when i am 40. that's the point i am going to break down and cry.
anyway khant khant called me at the stroke of midnight! all the way from US nonetheless. it's her birthday too. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KK! :)
and cindy decided to surprise me by ending up at my house around midnight. well it wasn't really a surprise because she sort of let it slip when she called me before that. and the fact that she got herself lost and i had to go and pick her up was probably why i pretty much saw it coming really. but it was still a lovely surprise:) i am glad we had the whole night to catch up(though she fell asleep while i was still talking to her. i only realised it after talking to myself for like 5 minutes and after waiting for a response that never came haha)
there's a surprise party later. but i am fully aware of it as well. an anticipated surprise. haha off to practice my surprised expression.
i love everyone!

a flurry of updates
ok i am back. here's a sketchy pictorial update of what i have been up to. well not a very accurate description but it will have to do. :) here we go, brace yourself.
garden tech and vivo outing Dec 11th a lovely trip to visit the garden fair with qiling's parents and steal some fertile fertilizers in the process (let's just say my mother is very pleased). jin jen was expecting a romanticized setting. she was sorely disappointed. i was honestly just hoping we won't stay there for long. jaslyn was late.
yea jas this is for you. haha i know after so long. i don't think you want it anymore.
the ride back to qiling's place from vivo was HORRIBLE. it was raining so heavily, i could not see a thing and i keep getting bad directions. at one point, we thought we were making our way to Jurong Island instead of Yew Tee. eventually we (actually) took 1 hour and 45 minutes to travel from harbourfront to yew tee. enough said. HORRIBLE!!
Queen Of Queens pageant Dec 15th only wanzi and i went, we were not even there to support anyone. come to think of it, why were we even there? and we went straight home after the thing ended!
i thought the one with the cap was pretty but she didn't win anything i think.
that guy was super cute! hahaha
oh my gosh look at the horde of photographers
the winners
Cindy's back from Boston Dec22nd
her flight came in around 11.30pm? there was frantic waving from the girls even before we could actually see cindy.
chinghow and hanyong came in santa caps and carrying a box of candy canes.
only left the airport at around 3 plus am? it's funny how everyone managed to get a ride home. so many of us are driving right now. really weird.
Christmas Eve Dec 24th I drove down to qiling's house first, dumbed my stuff there, helped qiling with her make up and went off to find xinyu. actually xinyu came to find me in a cab to pick me up(i refused to drive to orchard during the festive season) the cab fare jumped for about 2 bucks while waiting for me.
xinyu's such a sweetie pie. she bought us all xmas presents! and they were all very thoughtful gifts i must say.
jiahan got perfume
weihui got Lucy from Peanuts. she loves them you see.
and mine was a very shocking...
balloon dog! the exact same one which my mum gave away without telling me and i was so mad with her that one. haha i really can't believe she actually went around to find the exact same one! and she bought me hershey cookies and cream kisses (which i love). i swear at the rate she's going, she should turn into a guy, grow taller(at least 176cm) and be my boyfriend. so sweet! (:
xinyu's good friend, fuquan came over to pass her something.
that xinyu dared him to take the santa cap from the poor snowman standing in one corner minding its own business. and he actually did it. jiahan and i were dying from the embarrassment. we tried to pretend that we didn't know them.
poor snowman...
i find it pretty amazing that we could take so many photos in a few hours and with only four people.
then after that, went back to find qiling and jas(they went caroling). when we got back to qiling's house, the clock struck midnight. which obviously meant Christmas was here. so the two of them started singing chirstmas songs to qiling's parents.
we decided to put on masks together
Christmas dinner Dec 25th with wanzi and ziyi at jack's place. no photos because ziyi was severely underdressed! he thought we were going some kopitiam to eat. great dinner if you overlook the fact that wanzi puked after we left the restaurant. there goes 25bucks. right down the toilet bowl. some random outing Dec 30th with xinyu and zhimin after church. we managed to bump into weihui and zhen xiong. so they joined us for dinner. very weird crowd but enjoyable as usual:) i remember this day very clearly because that was a good hair day! hahaha anyway service that day was amazing. :)

chiewyee!
basically what we have here is a dreamer.
someone out of touch with reality.
when she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly.
