…life doesn’t balance easy. You can be a good man and perform bad actions, because that’s the nature of things. People who believe otherwise, well, they’re just timeservers, because they spend so much time wrestling with their consciences that nothing gets done, and nothing changes, and the innocent and the defenceless, they just keep getting hurt. In the end you do what you can, maybe what you have to do, to make things better. Your heart isn’t going to be weighed against a feather in the next life, Bird. My guess is they do a comparative study, otherwise we’ll all end up in hell.

That’s from Dark Hollow by John Connolly. Don’t ask me why i put it up, it just left an impact on me. That’s why i like modern lit. simple and to the point. guess what i’m looking for is the meaning, the plot and the excitement, not a twisted notion of depth and literary devices. i know there will be many strong objections and comments but really la, that’s just my two cents worth.

Anyway, spent the past 2 days roaming around our small island looking for CNY publicity stuff with woankeng, as well as partaking in continual discussions and brainstorms. just topped up 10 bucks on my ezlink yesterday and it’s left with less than half the value now! went to j8, school, bugis, jurong, upp. bt timah newton cityhall and concourse to name a few. ok actually that’s about all. but the places are so big we spend like 981751958 hours everywhere. anyway it was pretty relaxing in spite of it being extremely energy and time consuming. but i’m glad wk’s my partner for pub he does a lot of work and doesn’t complain wah o.o

anyway, don’t have much to say. next week’s gonna be a hectic week full of work sessions have fun all.

sorry

has been okay so far. without much intense excitement, but there is an immense anticipation that is orientation. i look forward to being an OGL very much hahaha. (: (: (: i guess that’ll be the only thing to look forward to with the passing of time that’s extraordinarily fast.

since prom it’s been nothing much except o1 work sessions and stay-home days. and the latter is mostly used for rest and recreation, with recreation being solitaire and blog/friendster-hopping and the like. did MATHS, WOW. i haven’t even finished the history and econs assignment that i’m supposed to but i’m doing MATHS. i’m actually on my way to finishing vectors tutorial. give me 10987518 pats on my back. hopefully U’s will be history for me (not the subject, the meaning -.-) i don’t wanna fail maths (so abysmally) anymore): anyway don’t see my doing of vectors tutorial as much hope, there’s still 9 other chapters of j1 work, half of which i don’t understand much and the other half i don’t understand almost completely. figures how i scraped 31 marks for promos.

recently it was pubco jts. went to this place called miss clarity’s cafe at thomson. wasn’t much of a bang except for its toilet and more importantly, ____.

NO IT ISN’T.

anyway, it’s found above their toilet bowl. wth right.

on classics

after that we went to thomson plaza and there was this book fair selling novels 2 for 10 bucks. so me and yappy shared haha. these holidays i’ve been reading quite a lot of random thrillers, sure beats the classics that we’re assigned to for Lit. Speaking of which, i’ve read House of Usher the story not the book. it put me to sleep zzz. i’m beginning to doubt my interest in literature, doing all the classics and BEAUTIFUL pieces like beloved and ancient plays. shakespeare for some reason i can stand, but not some edgar allan poe or frankenstein which we did in sec 4. i guess i’m more of a boy than a lit student. i love reading exciting stuff (in simple uncomplicated straightforward english with less than 20 punctuation marks in one sentence). finished the random thriller in about a day. just sat on the bed the whole day and digested everything whole. the time-transcending beauty that we’re supposed to see in the classic pieces just serves as sleeping pills for me.

i’ve said my piece for now i’ll probably ramble more if i had the time or inspiration. don’t shoot me down too much, ha.

been having weird dreams lately, weird being a severe understatement. not gonna talk about them for now, it will do those i can’t remember injustice. but they’re just complex and complicated and troubling, for some. one last night involved me having a dream within a dream and telling everyone about it. after that i launched into another dream before waking up in the middle of the night. but i looked at my gged watch (i played all the wet orientation games with it and now it has bubbles trapped under the glass) and it said 12.30. then i recalled i slept at 9.15 last night, because i was friggin shagged from work session which is really only trying out games for O1.

ok i’m gonna sleep now. Rgdz

Wanted to post for the whole of today and yesterday and the previous few days but was too lazy to organise my thoughts properly. But since it’s a sunday (though it’s past 12) i’ll slog it out i guess i’ll blog by issues tonight

RIP jay chou.
jay chou is the name of my nearly-2-years-old ipod nano. yesterday we went to yiming’s mansion for citygate gathering, and i hopped into her swimming pool after removing my wallet and handphone from my jeans. turned out i decided to smart-aleck and bring jay chou out yesterday, in my pocket. so it got soaked to the bone and died. Wasn’t very affected by it then (in fact it seemed quite hilarious), but reality sank in much later and it is still pretty depressing now. gonna bring it to the morgue service centre soon.

The SMS
Mr Sam Lee my dear council teacher whom i still don’t really know very well smsed me a couple of days ago asking me to see him TMR during prom work session. The tone in his message bordered on unfriendly; the thing for sure is that it definitely wasn’t a kind of thing. I don’t know. from that sprang in my mind immediately a few possibilities of our rendezvous tmr:

1) he stumbled upon this nice little blog and decided that i talked/bitched too much about council.
2) he stumbled upon this nice little blog again and saw that i wasn’t studying at all, and looking at my colossally disastrous results, decided to have a little chat with me. or it could just be the results.
3) he somehow knows that i might have to get a haircut before prom and decided to give me a warning.
4) he saw photos/videos/heard about my exhibitionist exploits and wants to talk to me about it.
5) he wants to talk about jaychou with me (i’m serious. ying talked to him online and his dp was cowboy jaychou.) or maybe he wants tickets to the concert, which i don’t even have for myself now hahaha.
6) or maybe he just took a sudden liking to me…….. (now i really hope he doesn’t read this)

4G chalet
wasn’t much of a bang. mostly sitting around in the chalet, on the bed talking. hazel and jijo and jialiang and pengrong and a few others. we thick-skinned and occupied the bed on the first night. but there was no 2nd night cause we went to play lan at paradiz. and went straight home after that. A picture, just for the blog’s sake:

On a separate note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY xiu and ying!
its been a long time since i wished people on this platform already haha please be honoured

It also means that prom is in 2 days! Somehow i’m not feeling very excited. i’m much more psyched up about orientation and my OG and my junior class next year pray it rocks man.

have been around the cityhall area a lot these couple of days. first with junshyang before the 4g chalet. and the marina square top floor food court is nice as it overlooks the district and it has a brilliant view of the night sky and esplanade etc. then with hazel as we went funan to get his ipod and my earphones (oh the pang, jay chou). then with jijo and samuel as we went to the raffles city and marina square area after missing ms heng’s show at the art house. fun

I handed in my 17-days-overdue econs homework a minute ago through email. lame excuse but hope she’s not too angry. i saw her yesterday at raffles city wth. she either didn’t see me, couldn’t recognise me or pretended not to see me. i was too overcome by shame that i kept my head low and covered my face. ahhhhh so malu haha.

Okay i need to sleep the past few nights have been really windy. nice for sleeping though i’ve to wake up early tmr zzz. GOOD NIGHT WORLD.
