"Um...this style runs small. I don't think you're gonna fit. I mean, your feet are... kinda big."
Well I FINALLY went for service today after not going for 3 weeks.
Sermon was good. About goodness and stuff.
After 2nd most recent blog post, I realised that I DO sound like I'm dying. AGAIN.
Hey it's not my fault that I'm contemplative ok CHAN LUO ER. YES YOU I'M NOT GOING TO REPLY TO YOU ON MY TAGBOARD BUT ON MY POST. HOW'S THAT FOR BLOGGING LIKE I'M DYING HUH? HUH?
Ah well my second round of prelims starts this friday. LIT PAPER 4.
I love imagining other worlds. It's like so cool. I imagine drifting into the clouds on a silver pony and flying 200 miles upwards till I hit the stratosphere or whatever you call it.
After which I would plunge downwards, catching on fire but not getting burnt.
I would crash into the nearest house and into the living room.
"Hi, how are you doing?"
"We're fine. How are you?"
"Oh I just drifted into the clouds on a silver pony and flew 200 miles upwards till I hit the stratosphere or whatever you call it.
After which I plunged downwards, catching on fire but not getting burnt.
Then I crashed into your house into your living room, where I asked,
"Hi how are you doing?"
And you said, "We're fine. How are you?"
Then I said,
"Oh I just drifted into the clouds on a silver pony and flew 200 miles upwards till I hit the stratosphere or whatever you call it.
After which I plunged downwards, catching on fire but not getting burnt.
Then I crashed into your house into your living room, where I asked,

"Hi how are you doing?"
And you said, "We're fine. How are you?"
Then I said, ..."""
Do I think I'm in a crazy mood now?
Yes I do.
I think it's the bubble tea.
Makes me hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
"Why do they put the pig's picture on the luncheon meat cans?"
"Cos you know right, the government is trying to discourage people to eat luncheon meat cos it's not healthy? Like you know, the pictures they put on cigarette boxes?"
"Oooh"
"Vig, you do know that Cheryl's lying again right?"
Oh and by the way..
If you're ignoring me, I would wish to know why.
INAF.

I guess I'm pretty over the whole guilt thing.
Corinne told me I did the right thing so I guess I should just forget it and move on.
I literally ran... I literally ran away..
Get away, walk away, walk away

I just walked all the way from Thompson Plaza to Luo Er's house with her and Vig.
Then I got a lift home haha.
It was fun :)
Although they probably wouldn't believe me if I told them again, but I did walk with them cos I think I need to spend more time with my friends, especially my JC friends now that we're nearing the end of JC life.
It's the whole cliche thing. Like, at the person's death bed they'll always wish they spent more time with their loved ones and not earn more money.
But I seriously believe in that.
And not just my JC friends but all my friends and family.
Oh and also, I think that we should take the time to do things we've never done before, especially crazy whacky stuff. (not saying that walking home from Thompson is sooooo whacked or smth)
I want to look back on my life and think, "It was time well spent!"
I hate politics. Why can't everyone just live peacefully without it?

WAURGHHH tomorrow's econs. ESSAY somemore.
I feel so... unsure.
I dunno whether I'm going to do well or not.
I'm taking a big risk by not studying International Trade AT ALL. I just hope that it doesn't come out cos if it does I am so dead.
Ah well I shall stop typing about econs.
I shall talk about GP. Which totally sucked.
My summary was as good as taking a clump of dirt and rubbing it on the paper then submitting it.
Aaaanyway, on a lighter note,
There are some nice new songs!
Like "So What" by Pink.
Oh and I got 2 nice new songs!
Fireflight - Unbreakable The Pogues - Thousands Are Sailing
Thanks to someone who sent me them. Haha. You have good taste!
All right better get back to consolidation.

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."
"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."
"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

This probably sounds like those things that a person says before dying. I'm not btw. Haha.
I just think that life is so fragile, and most of the times we are hardly thankful for all our blessings.
And we seldom stop to actually thank God for all the wonderful people that he has placed in our lives.
Of course, I have a lot of other people to be thankful for.
But these are the ones for today.
Thank you God.

Huh?
11:46 PM
The alarm went off TWICE last night.
Once at 1230 and again at 230.
Woke me up from my peaceful slumber. Aurgh.
However, the second time the alarm rang, I woke Willy up and we both turned on the lights.
To our horror, there was this gigantic cockroach near Willy's pillow! (@*@&^*(@#&
It was damn disgusting. He freaked out and just when I was going to whack it, it crawled underneath my bed. @#&*(@&#(*@
So I took some bug spray and sprayed the area underneath my bed, thinking that it would kill it.
Not really.
So I pushed my bed out, pushed away this carpet thingy, and there it was. I quickly sprayed it and it died a horrific, slow death.
I used a piece of paper and scooped it into my toilet bowl and flushed the putrid thing down.
Damn disgusting. I had to turn off the air con cos of the insecticide smell, and air the room before I could sleep again.
Before which I ventured downstairs with Willy and checked. It was probably just something that tipped off the motion sensor or something.
But I didn't want to keep waking up so I called my dad to ask if I should turn on the alarm or not and he said no need just lock your room doors.
I probably wouldn't have been so paranoid if I didn't read in the papers a few months ago that a house near us got burglarized. In the afternoon.
It's like, the world isn't safe anymore. Can't even sleep soundly without crazy insects or broke people.
Oh and my house is prone to bats flying in. A friendly visitor greets us with his shadowy presence almost every week.
AND, a hornet flew in 2 days ago and buzzed around at the lights for a full day, after which resting in Jan's room and she had to go sleep in my parents room.
This are the chronicles of my life.
I am going to study for a full day today at the library.
Hooray.

I just found this damn hilarious website: www.songcrossfire.com
It's this website about 2 people debating about the meaning of songs. It's damn hilarious.
Here's an extract:
Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
Darryl: Shania has always promoted strong women, but she's given a mixed message about her feelings toward men. This song muddles the water even more. Obviously, Shania's in a partying mood, but her definition of partying is quite different from others. She makes it real clear that this is a women-only party, singing "The girls need a break-tonight" and "We don't need romance"; but no men apparently doesn't mean no "men"! Shania's planning on taking the Man role herself, declaring, "forget I'm a lady" and wearing "Men's shirts". The most disturbing thing is how far she's willing to take this role. She tells us that she doesn't feel liking having her man tonight. No, tonight she feels like a Woman!
Jerry: Absolutely! I'm glad you brought this up! Shania and her obvious lack of desire for men, according to a poll that I just made up, is accountable for approximately 60% of erectile dysfunction in the US alone. Her reference to "Man! I feel like a woman!" is not to express that she herself feels like a woman, but that she desires a woman. This should read the same way as I may say, "Man! I feel like some nachos!" or "Man! I feel like a beer!" She doesn't even necessarily try to mask this. She wants some wild, screaming, no inhibitions, politically incorrect, girl on girl action. It might actually excite me if she weren't so damn militant towards the opposite sex!
Darryl: I'm surprised at the lack of outcry at the amount of explicit lyrics in a song that you heard played absolutely everywhere when it first came out. Shania describes some pretty raw and kinky stuff in this song! To list a few lyrics: "scream and shout", "no inhibitions", "doin' it in Style" (We all know what that means!), "get in the action", and "do what I dare". The image of Shania dressed up like a man and having "a little fun" with her freaky female posse while letting "it all hang out" should be enough to work the Moral Majority into a frenzy!
Jerry: Indeed! This song make ME feel like becoming a lesbian for god's sake! Think about what it is doing to young impressionable minds! We, as a society, need to keep an eye on this before it becomes an epidemic! I believe it would be not only a good idea, but also our moral duty try to do some more studies of her songs to see what other things she is getting away with. However, in the mean time there's something I need to do. Man! I feel like a woman!

This song is good.
I'm didn't think I would like his songs but his first single is surprisingly catchy!
Very radio-friendly and top 40 material.
Give it a listen!

I just got pissed off again thinking about something.
That same thing that led me to do what I did last week.
Aurgh and I'm getting pissed off now.
And I ate too much lunch so I'm feeling a little queasy.
Have to go back to studying the post cold war world again.
Hai.

I was reading some random news, and it turns out Paris Hilton has come up with a brilliant energy saving plan!
According to http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/738703.html
"His(McCain's) campaign recently injected images of Hilton and fellow tabloid diva Britney Spears into a TV ad that questioned Democrat Barack Obama’s leadership skills in spite of his own celebrity.
Hilton responded this week with a short spot on comedian Will Ferrell’s Web site, www. funnyordie.com, in which she announces her candidacy while sunbathing poolside.
But it was the succinct pragmatism of her energy platform — no, seriously, some are calling it “the Paris Plan” — that drew the notice of policy wonks.
The Paris Plan, verbatim:
Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign-oil dependency, and McCain wants offshore drilling. Well, why don’t we do a hybrid of both candidates’ ideas?
We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars.
That way, the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will then create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved.
Then she says she is “like, totally ready to lead.”
“Never thought I’d say this,” Connecticut energy consultant Peter Beutel told the Boston Herald, “but Paris Hilton’s plan is sound.”
And Rex Buchanan, an energy spokesman for the Kansas Geological Survey: “Is there something to what she says? Shoot, yes!
“Now, I’m just speaking for myself and not the Geological Survey,” he cautioned. “But we are going to need almost anything you can think of — all energy sources, alternatives and technologies — to get us through. What Paris doesn’t talk about is that the electricity to power those hybrid and electric cars is going to have to come from somewhere, too."
“See what you’ve done? You’ve got me analyzing Paris Hilton’s thought process.”

Have you always wondered about going back to childhood?
Where the only thing you had to worry about back then was whether your favourite cartoon character was going to die?
Sometimes I long to return to those days.
Where everything was so much less complicated than now.
Where we have to constantly worry about lies and deception,
where we worry about how other people view us,
where we worry about what is really right and what is really wrong,
where we worry about how nothing in this world seems to be true?
I miss the days of carefree existence...

Well well well.
Prelims are in 3 weeks.
And I feel SO unprepared.
On a good note, revised timetable starts the following week so I'll have MUCH more time to study, even though it's just for 2 weeks.
I seriously can't believe how fast this year is passing. Last year and the year before seemed like... wow it's so fast but this year it's even faster. Even my JC orientation seemed like not so long ago.
*Flashback*
I still remember that name chain that we had where we had to put an adjective in front of our name, which actually REALLY made it easier to remember.
Our class went something like this.
(*note* I'm only going to put those that I can remember. If I get it wrong.... who cares. Haha)
Smart Sam Jovial Jason Sophisticated Shermaine Amiable Anne Youthful Yuslina Lovely Luo Er Malicious Michele (haha kidding! I can't remember yours cos I thought you were mean last time LOL) Mangled Melissa ( HAHA kidding again)
Yea O1 was such a fun time. I remember dragon boating and doing stupid stuff at the grass area near the National Stadium. I think I remember O1's finale night the best, where we performed the skit. I'm sure Jason's very fond of his maple man memory. Haha.
I miss orientation. (Yes Cheryl O2 too even though it was much less fun than O1)
Ah well. I still remember someone saying "Don't focus on the past but look forward to the future"
That is actually very true.
Maybe we should try to forget all those TERRIBLE memories and look forward to what is ahead, no matter how bleak it is.
J1 was fun, but hey we had so many other more fun events like both lit nights and history night. (Eat this, science students!!)
Yea anyway, the past week has been full of ups and downs. I kinda felt like I lost myself over the course of the week a few times. It seemed as though I was transported to this other place (Paper 4) and I was just this weird, floating mass of pretense and disguise. Over the past few days I sort of felt like a powerful omniscient force dragged me back by the hair into the present world, with me yelling and kicking vehemently, refusing to come back.
But I'm glad I did.
Looking back, I am now able to view with unclouded lenses how we can so easily fall into the heinous traps of self deception and misinterpretation.
Its a new dawn Its a new day Its a new life For me And Im feeling good
