Life is REALLY boring

Life is really boring and monotonous right now.. School from Mon-Tue, Attachment from wed-fri. Field Assessments coming up.. good grief! When will Sept come??

Its scary how fast time flies. Before you know it, i would probably have graduated and be... SOMEWHERE.

Suddenly i don't wish to go overseas. Suddenly i want to stay in Singapore. There is something MORE in Singapore than overseas. If you get what i am referring to. Or rather, WHO i am referring to.

Anyway, i have to learn to be more positive and not keep whining abd complaining about work. But by doing so, it sort of releases the tension i have inside. I have to relaese it before all the stress and tension kills me slowly..

cos sometimes i just wanna give up..

Hmm.

And I would like to add, Sleep is a privilege.

Sigh. May i still remain sane at the end of this semester.

il&my.

Cockroach Fears

Read if you dare

Was happily talking to Jolyn on the phone, minding my own business, when i spotted, or rather, HEARD something. You know, the "piak piak piak" sounds you'll hear when an insect flies and hits against the light? Yep. THAT sound.

I looked up and lo and behold, it was a GIGANTIC FLYING COCKROACH!!!!!!!!!!! *hair stands*

Alright. Now, i am perfectly okay with cockroaches that CRAWLS. As long as i avoid it, it will leave me alone. But it being in my house and not to mention, sprouting WINGS is another story altogether.

So i was using my cushion as a shield in case the cockroach decides to "attack" me. And i was "screaming" when the THING flew within a one metre radius of me. Told Jolyn i had to get off the phone and hide. IMMEDIATELY!

Ran to my mum's room , and my mummy stirs in her sleep. I frantically announce that there is this HUGE FLYING COCKROACH and "begs" her to kill it. (DIE ROACH DIE!!!!!) She calmly took a newspaper and wacked the unsuspecting roach, who was by now, crawling on the wall.

Well, it didn't die. Probably the hit only caught it offguard. So, it dropped to the floor, behind the couch. And when we looked, (actually it was my mum who looked, i was still keeping my one metre radius. i merely peeped.)it was GONE! It had performed some disappearing act. My mum told me she couldnt find it, and although i was uneasy, i had no choice! i only hoped that it wouldn't find its way into my room..

Upon coming out of the shower, and attempting to continue where i left off at the computer, i spotted a movement at the corner of my eye. ta-daa! *cockroach appears* and it was in front of me!!! crawling on... (this is hilarious) the BAYGON spray can. Ha Ha Ha!!!

I yell. "Mummy!!! I found the cockcoach!!!" (Nothing to be proud of) and she comes out again. i was screaming, and she calls me: "XIAO".

Gosh, my mummy is so brave. *applaude please*

So she wacks it a second time, and it went somewhere! (Yet another disappearing act! Gosh is this roach a houdini in disguise or what?!) And my laptop was there!! I refused to go near it, and i HAD to shut it down, somehow. I ask my mum to search carefully! By then i was already preparing NOT to sleep, in case i wake up with IT nearer to me that i would have liked it.

Finally, she spots it at the corner of the kitchen door's wall. With one mighty SLAP she kills it.

*standing ovation*

*geri's evil MWUAHAHAHAHAHHAHA laugh*

You cannot possibly imagine how relieved and thankful i was at that moment.

It was REALLY HUGE lah!! Say, around the length of my thumb?? Eeks!! All brown, big & ugly.

i hope i don't get nightmares.

On a brighter note, at least i can sleep in my room!! =)



p/s. i cannot believe that i can write an ENTIRE entry on a cockroach.

p/p/s.
-i was rather tempted to take a photo of the dead creature-To emphasize on its SIZE.
But, number one, i hardly think you guys would enjoy such a photo. And secondly, you might think i am sadistic.

Correct correct???

so the dead roach is resting peacefully in the bin..

Long Lost friend, where are u?

i was trying to search for my LONG LOST primary school friend on FRIENDSTER.. but i failed.

AHH! If only the searches could be REALLY specific, then i can list down all the details about her!! Instead of having to type in ONE sing pathetic detail resulting in hundreds of search "matches"

Well, actually i still have her home telephone number. i could ALWAYS give her a call (provided her number is still the same)

i wonder if she remembers me??

Reading "Life of Pi" right now by Yann Martel.. Not bad! haha

hot weather

In weathers like this, with rising tempertures, (or so it seems) i am thankful that my hair is short.

I think the weather is going to leave a "so-called" permanent scowl on my face.

Swimming today was not even considered a swim. The pool was being cleaned! Of all the days! These things only happen to me okay. *grumbles* And they sure took a long time to get it done. Sally & I were feeling so hot that we decided to just laze around in the children's pool. At least it was way better than waiting under the shade. Finally when the cleaning seemed more or less done, we jumped in. I think I am so going with them on Monday to chill out at Jurong..

I feel super sleepy, but sleep is the last thing on my mind. Sleeping now in my room without any aircon and breeze is purely suicidal. I'll probably wake up with a splitting headache or I wouldn't even be willing to wake up, "drowsiness" caused by the heat.

Showers no longer help, cos the minute I leave the bathroom, all I have to do is just to walk 10 steps, and in less than five minutes I’ll start perspiring all over again.

So, Sentosa anyone? Heh heh.

driving rawks

Have you ever had that feeling that you were going to sneeze? That you felt the tickling sensation in your nostrils and know that a huge sneeze is coming up? As you take a gulp of air in, in anticipation for THAT sneeze, all ready to go “Ah-Choo!! & Excuse Me” but it NEVER came? But you still felt like sneezing??



Annoying isn’t’ it?

*******

Anyway. Driving was a blast! I finally had the grand opportunity to drive along the main road. In addition, I was also allowed to use gear 3! So now, my fastest speed has thus increased to 50km/h. So as I was happily cruising along the road, this silly Mercedes filtering OUT didn’t want to give way to me initially! Like get out!! I have the right of way! Despite sounding the horn he kept his speed and only braked at the last possible minute. And if I didn’t react in time, I think we would have collided.. or something close to that. *shakes head in disgust* what’s up with people driving BIG cars? Just because your car is big you think so highly of yourself?



Turned out into the main roads, and as we approached the red light, I was so excited! [Since it was my first time being there and all.] So I was all prepared to take off, occasionally glancing at the lights and checking the mirrors. I wanted everything to go smoothly. But Nooo! Upon seeing the green light, as i majestically prepared to "take-off", guess what Geri did?!



Right. She stalled the silly engine. *hands covers face in mock embarrassment* I wanted to dig a hole in the ground can. Its like, how can you still stall the engine at this point of time, after so many lessons? *shakes head* My, how I wanted to laugh. [h-a-h-a]



Thankfully it was only ONE mistake and I drove all the way back to Kallang train station happy and alive. I realized too that I have several problems during driving.

My left turn is better than my right. (isn’t the right turn supposed to be easier?!)
I can’t seem to drive within the lanes!
I take some time to get the car moving.


And as you sit there reading this, you are thinking, “How is it that her instructor lets her drive on the main road?” *shrugs*

********

Smallville starts way too early this season! What happened to it being on the 10pm or 11 pm slots?! Now it’s being pushed all the way to 8.30pm. And I have been missing (and going to miss even more) the episodes due to dance. Nooooo Fairrrrrrrr. Hmph.

*******

What is this!?! Now they want to have not one, but TWO casinos?!?! Gahh.

Free to do what?

After spending almost SEVEN hours on the computer, I have decided that ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

Not.

Every time I step into my small but comfy (at least in my opinion) room, I’d tell myself that it's high time I get boxes and files to store and file everything away, neatly. And, I walk into my room how many times a day? Countless. And my room looks the EXACT way I left it-Still in a huge mess. Materials from the previous semester are strewn on the floor, and books & un-filed notes scattered everywhere, covering my birch study table. Is it even birch? I can’t even remember the colour of my desktop. (ok, fine that was an exaggeration) Anyway, before I can go do the “dirty job”, I need to make a trip down to Popular to get a decent thick file to compile my entire semester’s worth of notes and handouts. Speaking of thick files, my shelf lacks space already.

I need to go shopping!! I mean, I want to go shopping! Seeing clothes online makes me so tempted to just buy them using a credit card. Then again, I DON’T have one to start with. Duh.

I wonder, how do people arrange the clothes in their wardrobe? I used to colour code them (and realized that I have got lots of black stuffs) but soon switched methods-classifying them according to their ‘styles’-namely, spaghetti tops, racer backs, Tees etc… or am I only the weird one who actually “classifies” her wardrobe and not chuck everything else inside at random?

Chocolate muffins are good and addictive. Agreed? Well actually, ALL muffins are addictive. And for the record, I have finished eating almost the entire box of muffins my mother bought. [Like anyone really cares]

Btw, do say HI to my new purple layout!!

Last but not least, wishing Sarah a very Happy Blessed 19th Birthday!!

Just Shake

Just Shake

Yay. i cannot wait for dance classes later in the evening. And its a DOUBLE lesson, with STREET JAZZ & HipHop! i hope i dun tire my body out or anything, condsidering exercise hasn't been in my "Top 10 Things to do List" for a LONG time.

Boy-oh-boy. How time flies. The weekends are here again. i have never been more glad.. ok i am just typing this for the sake of typing this. You can tell i am bored.. Alrighty, off to do something more productive.

Hello Everyone! Missed Me?

Hello Everyone! Missed Me?
haha i don't think so. (guess that's what happens when u open more than one blogging account)
Anyway. Life is pretty much alright i guess. Yeah right. I am in denial. But i guess many people have their own private problems to deal with.. When u are with people, u show your not so vulnerable self, smiling like everything is perfect. But is it really? Only when you are alone.. then the harsh reality hits you hard.

Am i even making sense? haha what a way to start of writing, when i haven't been writing here for a LOONNNGGG time.

Oh well, time really flies. Year 2 is behind me now, and that leaves us with only ONE more year to go! wow. How soon is that?! (Results will be out on the 21st btw) haha pretty soon you'll see your all your friends getting married and having children. ok. scratch that. that's WAYYY ahead. But well, i guess it's safe for me to say that my future is a blur right now. With a couple of possibilites.. who knows where will i end up? *ponders and wonders*

Ok, enough of all that. Watched "Son of the Mask" yesterday.. and boy was it such a brainless show. Why am i so relieved that i did not pay and to go the cinema for it? hur.

I have yet to watch "The Pacifier"! My Meego!
Got this off mich's LJ. Its on Meegos which is an animated avatar for msn messenger (but not available locally). And if you are bored, try it. =)

Mission 1: Accomplished

Hearing CNY songs on repeat mode can really DRIVE you UP the wall. No kidding.
If that doesn't work, play it at TOP volume.

Result? A headache.

Anyway, the verdict of my Field Practicum 2.2 Language Arts assessment: PASS.

-------
The Shrek song is STUCK in my head and its on repeat mode on my comp.
Playing through: Jasmine's blog.

So any kind souls wanna help me find the song please?? haha i Re-composed the tune on my "new" Nokia 2100 h/p.

It is you i have loved all along

---by Dana Glover---

There is something that I see,
In the way you look at me,
There's a smile there's a truth in your eyes.
What an unexpected way,
On this unexpected day,
Could it be, this is where I belong.
It is you I have loved all along.

There's no more mystery,
It is finally clear to me,
You're the home my heart searched for so long.
It is you I have loved all along.

There are times I've ran to hide,
Afraid to show the other side,
Alone in the night without you.
But now I know just who you are,
And I know you hold my heart,
Finally, this is where I belong,
It is you I have loved all along!

No more mystery,
It is finally clear to me,
You're the home my heart searched for so long.
And It is you I have loved all along.

Oh, over and over,
I'm filled with emotion,
Your love, it rushes through my veins.
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion,
As I look into your perfect face.

-------
Ahhh.. the SHREK song. Love it! simply beautiful!! =) (as in, the song Princess Fiona hums together with the bird before it exploded. *hurhur*)

Any one has the mp3 for it???

Brief Update

Haven't been blogging here much lately..haha LJ seems a much better place to pen my thoughts. Anyway just want to wish my mummy,

Happy Birthday!!!



been extremly busy this week, and i'm glad to finally have a chance to sleep in during the weekends =). Ahh, the beauty of sleep.

went to have a haircut!! And goodness me, its short. GAHHH!!!!! The hairdresser was commenting and telling me that i could go ahead and cry if i want to. HAHA. Of course i didn't. As if if i cried the hairs would all jump back up from the ground and reattach itself back to my head. And anyway, if it DOES happen it would be quick freaky too la.(okie, where did THAT come from?)

Jody gave my mum his spare phone yesterday..so i have my mummy's phone now!! So hmm, pple, IF u r reading this, can u please tell me ur numbers again? Not here la, in case someone else gets it and starts stalking you. Hurhur. Pretty please SMS me ur name and numbers?? Thanks a bunch!!! haha.
-------
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived,
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside,
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing.
And why can't I let it go?

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more.
(Than wanting more)

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door.
Onto the next thing, I'm search-ing for something that's missing.

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me,
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

I need to have a KitKat

translation: I need a break.

break from all the work, break from all the assignments. Just gimme one day.
haha like real. even so, my mind cannot rest properly knowing i have so much due.Nevertheless, i am sooo thankful that i managed to get away for three days.

well, technically i am supposed to have my one week hols now. Lets just see how much of my hols do i actually spend resting vs the number of hours i spend working. hAa!

Suddenly i feel like i have SO MUCH to do. [Not that i didn't feel this way initially, but i find that i'm slowly losing the drive to work.] Find it quite overwhelming, really. And for today, i just can't bring myself to start on anything! Oh the HORROR of it all!!

All leads to one thing---> I miss my secondary school friends... Most of them are busy busy busy!! And i'm one of those guilty ones. Very guilty ones actually.

*stamps feet* know what?! i am so going to swim on friday. Been wanting to since, what-SEVEN weeks ago??

On a lighter note, i was allowed to drive onto the road today instead of around the carpark! =) Third lesson lined up on thurs!

Fine, thoughts r running wild.. i think i need to let my braincells take a holiday.
