Once again, I'm doing the wrong things at the wrong time.

I shouldn't be blogging now, and yet here I am.

When I've a 1500 word essay due in two days.

Yeap, me and my never-ending procrastination + last minute work.

Seems like I'll never be able to get rid of these bad habits.

Sighs. I do enjoy writing essays. BUT. It's been a while since I last wrote any (Econs isn't exactly an essayish module), and right now, my mind's a total blank.

If only I can produce essays as easily as I blog. -_-

This is really a darn pain in the arse man. Urgh.

I'll be back.

And that's when you know my dumb brain can't squeeze out any more crap for the essay bleh.

Till then. Ciao.

I hereby pronounce myself the world's biggest procrastinator.

Again.

Our emotions are our own, and in turn they should be within our control right?

And today, I saw something which brought back the pain. I admit it was because I had nothing better to do - it seems like I've a penchant to heap suffering upon myself.

They always say when trouble don't look for you, don't go looking for trouble. And that was what I did. Look for trouble so I can pass the time. -.-

And since theroretically we are in control of our own emotions, I shall command myself to feel happy. And I do, really. Most of the time anyway.

Setbacks are not bad things - once you surmount them, it's like a breath of fresh air. The same goes for depressing stuff. Stuff that you thought would break you, but ultimately you'll survive through them too.

And after experiencing so much stuff, I've slowly learnt to appreciate the little things in life - having a nice albeit short chat on msn with a friend whom I haven't seen in school for a while manages to cheer me up; sometimes it really amazes me how two person who've never set eyes on each other before up till a month ago can hit it off so well. And that's how the friend made me feel: Comfortable in his presence and thankful for his friendship. (:

I guess sometimes we really have to stop and smell the flowers, look at the blue sky, and be thankful that you're alive in such an amazing world.

Life's precious, and it's too short for regrets and unhappiness. I will learn to pick myself up, and look ahead, for there're still so many things awaiting me.

And the rest shall be banished to the abyss of my mind.

Because the only way you can relinquish your hold over me is for me to discard all bitterness and sadness. And I look forward to when I'll be a free girl once again. (:

Yesterday I heard the news that a teacher who taught me previously passed away.

It came as a shock, not because I was close to her or anything, but because I've never had the occasion to experience the death of someone I know, remotely or not.

For some reason, I was quite affected by it - it really demonstrates the fragility of life. Thank god her baby's fine, although it was born prematurely. I guess it's stuff like this that makes you stronger and to live life as happily as possible. Life's really too short and unpredictable to have regrets and unhappiness.

May the angels take care of you, Ms Serene Ng, and thank you for that one year you've taught us in secondary 3.

I realised I tend to get very self-reflective that particular time every month. There're so many fragmented thoughts floating around inside my head, so much so that my mind's in a whirl.

I'm a klutz - constantly bumping against things and falling down. Ask anyone who knows me well enough and they'll be testimony to that. And if you still don't believe it, I've blue-blacks all over me to prove it.

I've become so cynical about many things. It's quite sad, actually.

A good thing's happening to one of my closest friends, and I feel really happy for her. (:

There're so many people I want to meet up with during recess week but I can't due to time constraint and my midterm tests. Boo.

People don't really listen to others. Often times they only ask questions for the sake of making small talk, and after that they'll just chuck whatever they were told away. Either that or they remember the wrong things about others, which can be embarrassing.

Don't always expect things to happen to you - sometimes it's the unexpected that will make your day. I quoted this from Letch, whom I miss like crazy.

I really like the hong kong drama showing on Channel 8 during the weekends. How many of us can confess to be that noble and compassionate, really?

This is such a random post which I totally feel like deleting. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally talk about the thing that had been bothering me the most. Maybe. Some day. When I've muster up enough courage to pen it down here. Or maybe not. Sometimes I get so sick about people asking me about it, but I know it's because they care. Or maybe not.

And till then again I guess.

For a moment, I was tempted to abandon this blog - it simply takes too much energy and time to maintain, which probably explains the intermittent dis- and appearances. Anyway, just wanted to clear the backlog:

260807: Sent Letch off at Changi. Felt kind of sad that I'll only get to see her next year. Anyway, that lucky girl's going to France for a year - made me so darn envious and more determined to go to Japan at the end of the year.


Last pic of the gf and I before she flies off - I'm missing her already! ):



4P girlies - 6 minus 1. Boo.


As promised, some randoms shots from Oweek - a lot taken by my cam hogger who was fasinated with its "squares squares" (haha!):


BBQ on Finale Night.



Slacking and cam-whoring at AS7.



War games - wet and dirty. Eww. Haha.



Redah at Sentosa!



Senior councillors.


And the last day at work that both YH and I were counting down to:


The colleagues.



Random shots taken around Raffles Place.



More randoms.

School has gotten into full swing, with tutorials starting and all. And it suddenly dawned on me that I'll be graduating soon - not exactly a comforting thought. And I found myself trying to race against time and signing up for all kinds of workshops and activities. Guess I have to learn to be more independent now. And hopefully, if nothing goes wrong, I'll be in Japan by this time next year. *crosses fingers. Yep, that'll be all for now. Till I've the time for more of these nitty-gritties, tata~
