teleute. i'm invincible, or so i'd like to think. i'm (supposedly) twenty, but i don't feel it yet.
if you can't take me at my worst,
you don't deserve me at my best.

alrighty, i have noted the...barrage of SPAM that my dear shiyuan has bestowed on my tagboard. girl, you are so full of shit but i love you to bits anyways. miss ya!

Junyi is leaving for her class trip to Japan today! bon voyage, kid. while youre in Japan, i'll be at CAP. but get me souvenirs! souvenirs! *waves arms frantically*

ehh im disgustingly bored. there is seriously nothing to do around here. i need new games, but my fat mom cant be bothered to bring me to queensway so i can buy them. she says ive too many already. but i want more RPGs! bah! maybe after Junyi is back from Japan we can roll there together and check it out.

thinking of whether or not to take chio pek up on his offer and actually buy nike dunks from him. i want to, really, but seeing if i need them is another matter. bah. theyre awfully cheap and awfully nice, but hey, ive got shoes already. meh. maybe ill sleep on it through the hols.

for the record, i actually dont feel like trng through the hols at all. bah. the only reason i train is to get the title back and not because im actually enjoying it. after a while you just push til you cant feel the pain anymore. where is the desire? shoved right up your arse, biatch.

bah.

actually good point. there is no desire. thats what ive realized. after a while, the desire just flows out of you. hopefully itll be back by time next year's nats roll round. (i know i seem quite apathetic here, but hey i dont think you can actually blame me.)

how much do you want it.
how much do you want it.
how much do you want it?

all comes down to that in the end. sigh...

bah 2

yay! you finally told me that you remembered yesterday's occasion. the declaration was like one day too late and i was prodding you to see if you remembered and you did! but you told me like one day too late. but no matter. at least i know guys dont have holes through their heads when it comes to (relatively, inanely) important things like this.

ok that was a really small occasion, like. but still, pretty cool.

and thats all i have to say. (yes im lame. hahah!)

bah.

IM ANSWERING MY FLOOD OF TAGS!

to spasticated samc: you have been in dhs for two and a half years and have got TWENTY SHIRTS. ive been in njc for HALF A YEAR and have half the shirts you have, with two more coming in. does that say something? hahah. maybe i really should break your teeth. xD

to Junyi: no the quote wasnt from Dune. plucked it out of my head, actually. its referring to something but i think only one person knows what that is. but because youre my bestie and i guess youre supposed to know everything, maybe i shall tell you when we meet up in june. =D

to =): YOU ARE A SPAM TAGGER. I KNOW IT. SERIOUSLY. dont be so wuliao and spam me la. i can check your IP address, you know.

to ophie: thank you very much. i hope they have reception in the plenary lectures so i can sms. bah, im bringing cookies to CAP! xD

to cherry: yay, will be back very soon. will also bring stick and do rowing in room after everything. assuming im not already comatose in my bed of course. xD

to siyi: no i dont know what you are talking about, simply cuz you already told me that your first tag didnt show up so yeah. bah.

yay tags answered. been playing romance of the three kingdoms X crazily for the past two days. no, do not ask me why. its strangely addictive. hahah, my ps2 gamer craze is back up again!~ CAP's on monday, i cannot wait. wheeeee. *me bounces* alrighty, maybe i shall go play ROTK10 somemore later on and then get scolded by mom cuz its like super late and ive church tomorrow.

im in a dressy mood, for some strange reason. maybe ill dress up tmr for the heck of it. weird me. the shirts im bringing to CAP are all my school shirts along with my GEP20 shirt! cuz they stated school shirts so bah. bringing ONE old njc pe shirt, TWO grey uniform shirts, ONE njcanoeing competition gear shirt (yeah the new one), ONE team njc shirt and ONE solaris house shirt. along with my TWO grey skirts and A TON of FBTs. yeah anyways plus black shirt and pants and smart casual and blah.

&once upon a time;
i loved a boy named Jack.

alrighty today is a very boring day. everyone just stones in class and does shit. at least trng was pretty cool though, with jo as my dear k2 partner. hahah~

CAP will be kind of an escape for me i guess. an escape from trng, grades, school, world. looking forward to it really. meh. will start packing on saturday or sunday, cuz im such a horrible procrastinator.

got a nice new njcanoeing shirt today. its supposed to be competition gear, but it has sleeves. which is horrible cuz i dont really canoe well with flappy sleeves. the only sleeves i can row with are the sleeves that stick close to my skin. like the OLD njc pe shirt. not the new one. the new one is so flappy. yucks.

LIST OF NJC SHIRTS I OWN.
-two grey uniform shirts
-two old njc pe shirts
-one new njc pe shirt
-one njc polo shirt
-one njc solaris yellow house shirt
-one team njc shirt
-one njcanoeing jersey
-one competition njcanoeing shirt

THATS TEN SHIRTS. HAH HAH. plus i still have TWO MORE JERSEYS coming in later on. so soon it will be twelve. hahah! the seniors are right, you do get a lot of shirts at njc. actually you just need to buy ONE pe shirt cuz for the rest of the pe sessions you can just wear house shirt or team njc shirt or something.

oh bah im super bored still. thinking of screwing off SPIRE reflections and just rushing it like a good procrastinator tomorrow. alrighty. bye then~ hahah!

The Litany against Fear:
I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986), American author


yes folks. a very nice quote on FEAR brought to you by DA CANOEISTS. hahah. let it stay with you and surface in your darkest times. =D love!

sports day
Wednesday, May 24, 2006

SOLARIS!!!

yes ho, its sports day and we pretty much pwned the competition and won the house cup. the championship! solaris forever! hahah still remember during the bio free period (cuz mrs fong didnt come. so some relief teacher came, gave out our bio papers and then poofed so we had like TWO PERIODS OF BIO to ourselves) i trotted out to the corridor. cuz now i like the corridor lots cuz from our position you can see everything.

so what i saw was wen loong skulking up the stairs and hiding around his class (which is 01) and then hiding in the stairwell. so me having a free period (and being kaypoh), dropped by to see wtf he was doing. apparently he just got back from council investiture and cuz they get some time off school, he was slacking in the stairwell while his LA papers were being given out. cuz he didnt wanna go back to class.

so in other words, i generally spent like half an hour sitting there with him talking about nothing, cuz the both of us were so friggin bored.

ok technically today was still pretty blah, so ill cut to the chase and talk about nothing but sports day. alrighty, so we all dressed up in our pretty pretty house shirts and scooted down. me cheered and waved my pom pom for solaris house! especially the relays where there are like tons of canoeist seniors taking part for their houses. so i waved my pom pom for specifically debbie and vivien cuz they were in solaris. muahaha! then they came in first! the 3rd runner was super pro, by time she passed to vivien (the anchor), she was already in the lead by a substantial margin so vivien finished it off easily. (its 4x400, for the record) GO US!

then i got my hair sprayed with yellow hairspray by maye, and she made it look like streaks so its like ultra nice. for info on GENERALLY how i looked like, check ff8's rinoa. my streak is in that same area as hers. yeahh. and it was golden yellow hairspray so thats even better. muahaha!

went over to the relay people to harass them. this includes my own class runners, our senior class 05ip03, 06ip01 and cherry's class. generally congratulated our senior class as well as my own, and attempted to make wen loong and trudy (from 06ip01) tired by chasing the former around with my (very itchy and ticklish) pom pom and squishing the latter to bits and pieces. HAHAH.

how innately fun. xD

later did mass dance with 05ip03's jason. and then poofed off for canoeing meeting, where i rotted til 7pm and then RAN HOME (i also took the bus, duh.)

SOLARIS ROCKS. OUR SENIOR CLASS ROCKS TOO. cuz they won the IP CUP! thats ours next year kaes! hahah, anyways im off to go slack now. solaris forever and always!

cip
Monday, May 22, 2006

CIP kills the feet and the head and i happily spent the whole darn day at sengkang yesterday. gotta say it was better than the bishan one though. ughh. my thanks to sy who came down to help out. had some major reminiscence about GEP and 2k.

GEP always. =)

anyways let that nut read my X books (13-16). so ends the susei saga! and officially starts the sorashi saga. bah. i like both, but sometimes the things that sorata says are just too much man. there only so much fluff that even i can take. xDD

was so tired that today i woke up at one (thanks to mom. bah!) and ate brunch before retiring back to bed and napping for a bit and then reading comics til like now when i finally get online and blog.

yes thats how tired i am. not to mention get a barrage of smses from bee saying that mr yong is pissed cuz we didnt come for trng today even though it was an optional trng.

bah! optional! i know we are supposed to have good attitudes and he expects us to come for even the optional trngs but come on! ive had the good attitude to come for trng even when the rest didnt cuz of the IH presentation the next day. i came for wed thurs AND fri trng. i had funtasia on saturday and for the CIP yesterday, gero and i were the only two who stayed the whole damn day. im so exhausted that i was practically bedridden the whole of freaking today and you still want me to come for trng!!!!!

GAAAAAH!

anyways i signed up for tmr's trng. one day ill die of canoeing, really i will. plus mom never stops reminding me that i come to school to study and not to canoe. bah.

i dont regret not coming for today's trng. really. anyways stuck at home and being bored now. maybe ill go install dungeon keeper and play it. although that game is like as old as my grandma. oh well.

sleepy. yes still sleepy. will continue chatting to Junyi before i roll off then.

funtasia
Saturday, May 20, 2006

funtasia was today, it was fine. dressed up as some cheesy fairy along with grace and felt kinda...yeah. >.< think cheap hooker. according to Junyi. HAHAH. but at least i didnt look as bad as grace. you could say its cute or you could say its completely ew, depends on the way you look at it.

my thanks to Junyi, gen, js and daryl who came down to support. xD

after ditching the fairy shit, boogied mass dance with mufeng and watched mark lo get dunked. sherlene loves me. HAHA. stoned around for almost the whole afternoon after my shift ended. bah.

tired now, CIP tmr. i cannot wait. >.<

then we noticed the hairspray. *evil grin* apparently it was BLUE hairspray. so wen loong and i fully got into this hairspray fight. and for the record, when i sprayed him, the end result was super cool. it looked quite nice. then he spray me dunno look like what. xD HAHA. then we attacked matthew but matt's hair rocks and the thing barely showed up.

new mp3 player
Tuesday, May 16, 2006

oh yeah, forgot to add sth in the post i posted a while back.

my parents bought me a nice new mp3 player for 99 bucks. its like ONE GIGABYTE. which is freakingly cheap, for the record. go out there and see what 1GB mp3 players sell for. id say at least 200 bucks. hahah it works pretty well. but mom says i cant touch it til after ass week. sob.

they bought it for me on sunday. so i havent touched it in quite a while. can touch it tomorrow nite! hahah. so fun. its very cute. small, blackwhite, kinda squareyblocky.

MY MP3 PLAYER IS UBER CUTE KAES.

okok off with the fangirlism. but that means about 250 songs can go inside it. which is pretty cool hahah.

im so happy. now i HAVE to pass everything dammit.

she's miss america, and i'm just the girl next door.

a bit more.

ONE MORE DAY TIL HEAVEN.

alright, i survived the toughest exam day. hahah. bio was fun, math was the usual die-for-that-period-of-time-but-still-can-pass kind of thing, and physics was...just weird. then again, physics is always weird. i would say outta all of them so far, physics was the weirdest.

alright, tomorrow is CHEM and HCL. hcl is fished up, as always. and chem is the whole damn year's worth. and i still dont understand bloody heat capacity.

tomorrow, i can safely say, is the heaviest day. in terms of subject worth. strange that its the last day and its the only exam day that there are two papers instead of three. BAH. its a conspiracy!

at least i can train tomorrow. and thursday. and friday.

ahh. heaven is in my k1.

finally. after so long.

hahah my obsession over my boat is scary. methinks i should marry it. X freaking D. hahah!

<3

she's so pretty
she's so damn right
but i'm so tired of thinking about her again tonight.

how do i gently raise THAT subject to MAT? gah. i still wanna know, yea.

btw, i dont think anyone will believe what 03 people like evil YUYUN are calling zs.

no really.

JUNYI! JUNE COMETH! *runs over to your house* hahah suddenly got urge to play FF. i want a laptop. to play comp games. muahaha. and suddenly i feel like going back to maple. MUST RESIST! MUST RESIST! its all my cousin's fault. the only way i'll truly go back is if Junyi and the rest of the 2k'05 babes and dudes go back too. maybe i should be like wynne and do my KoL account again. WTFFF.

ahahah.

after exams i wanna go queensway and splurge on new games! ff12, dirge of cerberus and dw5: empires is out i believe. I WANT! GAH! ps2 gamer mania never was so sweet.

and the ps3 is gonna be out in the USA soon. saw the preview at E3. looks flashy. JUNYI WHEN WE ARE OLD WE SHALL FLY TO HOLLYWOOD JUST FOR E3 MUAHAHAAA.

alright. off i go to mug.

dont dao me. or i'll be mad.

operation in motion
Monday, May 15, 2006

today, operation SURVIVE ASS WEEK was officially in motion.

first up was MI. crammed fallacies during assembly, i definitely passed i believe. hahah, finished like 15 minutes before the thing ended. whee. second was LA, which was 50 minutes behind MI. just simply...slacked. hahah! pretty much enjoyed taking the LA exam. thats the only exam i actually have fun in. did some crap critical appreciation about "desert places" the poem. i expect nothing less than my usual A. which would be 21/30, but i usually get 24/30 so yea. as long as i get my A, i dont really care hahah. need a pretty A to brighten up my report card.

then it was TWO HOURS til MA1102 paper. rushed down, ate a small lunch, chionged up to cram math. did peer tutoring exercises, and later on my table became this frenzied mass of people and scholars trying to do my questions. hahahahahaaa. mugged for about one half hours and then took a slight break before the exam began.

well. suffice it to say my hard work paid off. instead of my previous record of CONFIRMED NOT PASSING, i now have a HIGH CHANCE OF PASSING the paper. yes, life is good.

well tomorrow i shall die a horrible death. bio, physics and MA1101 await me. killer day sia.

oh well. at least i can train on wednesday.

keep holding on!

this is called goodbye and i'll love you all my life.

anyways. MAT, if youre reading this (which is highly unlikely but still), referring to what you told me today while we were doing the log questions...

WHO IS IT. SERIOUSLY.

06IP01 has so many damn people anyways.

tell me kaes.

jiayou NJC IP1 and 2 PEOPLE! it ends soon! 2 more days!

sick
Sunday, May 14, 2006

tiff is falling sick one day before exams.

this is really bad.

getting a major flu and occasional fevers and extreme fatigue. it all started on wednesday nite when i got a fever at nite and stupidly decided to go back to sleep. heh. i was hot and cold but just decided to go ahead with sleeping. the rest of the days pass in a blur with lots of flu (sneezing tons) and stuff. culminates on saturday as i wake up early to go for a peer tutoring session at njc from 9am to 1pm.

had a major running nose and kept sniffing throught the whole session. later it began raining, then i headed to tuition where the fan and aircon there fully stuffed up my nose. the IH project thing at KAP killed me as i sat there feeling tired/sniffy.

good deed of day: helped chenxi and mengyuan the dear china scholars understand plato's allegory of the cave. =) just in time to deal with MI on monday too.

in car, fully died. mom takes pity on poor tiff and decides not to let her go for math tuition although i was fully intending on going and dying there. went home, slept alnmost immediately at 8pm.

back at home now, sneezed quite a bit in the morn but at least fever is gone now. popped a pill for running nose and now have miraculously stopped sneezing. have to go mug now.

sigh. this sucks.

5 more days til thursday's over.

hold on, njc ip people!

CAP!
Friday, May 12, 2006

okay random weird rantings of a 2006 CAPper will thus follow. please, if youre gonna be annoyed by my fangirlism, dont bother to read. =) thank you.

alright, so yesterday was the briefing. coincidentally it was my bloody STUDY DAY so poor me has to mug early in the morning and then rush down to school to meet the rest of the folks in school at 250pm to get to MOE by 330pm.

so i find out only FOUR people got in from njc. which is pretty okay i guess. but not really ok if you consider that there were like half a million rgs people there. i saw at least six or seven of them two rows in front of me. plus i also discovered that i was the only ip1 to make it in from njc. the other three were ip3.

boy oh boy we sure are sad arent we.

alright so we sit through this lecture on the rules blah de blah. and then first thing i have to do is choose my writing workshops, which would be poetry, prose or scriptwriting.

and since we have like half a second to think before this dude starts yelling for scriptwriting, i decide to go for it. since here i am thinking well i dont really plan to become a famous published writer, so poetry was my 2nd choice. and my prose sucks shit so i might as well not go for it at all. so that was my 3rd choice. and im thinking hey i have to write stupid scripts for the mates in good old 06IP03 whenever some dumb project comes up so to survive for the next four years, i had better go join scriptwriting and actually learn something useful that i normally wouldnt be able to learn.

so off i trot to the class. and in my paper i put scriptwriting as my first choice followed by poetry and lastly prose. i will prolly get what i want cuz amongst the 130 people there, i saw only about the most 20 in the scriptwriting class. and poetry is usually the most popular. so im pretty much confirmed in scriptwriting. hooray.

alright then i chiong home to sign up online for the rest of the workshops, after some advice from ele. i manage to ge home about an hour or so later, and i got there early enough to choose the ones i wanted, cuz i dunno, i thought singaporeans would be more kiasu. the thing is on a first come first served basis, and each workshop would only have space for 20 people, so off i choinged.

apparently i was one of the kiasu ones hahah. and i went through a small panic attack cuz i couldnt find the website where i had to register. so i smsed ms wong may ee. and she told me to go somewhere which had a link to the website.

whew. put below are the HANDS ON WORKSHOPS.

Pottery
Mr Chua Soo Kim
In this tiles painting workshop, participants will use ceramic pigments (underglazes)to paint on bisque clay tiles and fire in the kiln to create permanent colours and ceramic underglaze colours.

Middle-Eastern Dance
Ms Namiko Chan
Middle-Eastern Dance or raks sharki is one of the most ancient of art forms. Like language, each country and region has its own style and emphasis. This workshop introduces students to the language of raks sharki.

Batik Painting
Ika Zahri
In this workshop, participants will learn how to use wax dyeing to create beautiful art on cloth. The age-old medium of using wax dyeing on cloth was introduced from Java and has been developed into fine art by Malaysian artists.

Silat
Mr Sheik Alau'din Yacoob Marican
Participants will learn the ancient art of Sumatra, Indonesia. The system of movements combine grace and fluidity with impeccable balance, coordination and precision.

Henna
Ms K. Vallarmathy
The tradition of staining the nails, skin and hair with henna is the favourite way of enhancing beauty amongst women in the Middle East. Participants will learn about the art and traditions of henna painting or Mehndi.

Seal Carving
Mr Sonas Lim Sia Kwoon
The history of seal carving dates back to the time of the Chow-Han Dynasty. Participants will learn more about the history and the art of Chinese seal carving.

Fashion Design
Ms Tang Wai Wah
Participants will design a sculptural garment with surface treatment. It will be a sculpture that frames the body as a visual, mobile declaration of individuality, identity and thoughts.

for the record, i chose pottery, jass chose fashion design (yes. very HER) and reuben grabbed seal carving.

erm pottery was the most popular, followed by fashion design, followed by seal carving, batik painting, middle eastern dance (only for GIRLS hahah!). no one likes silat or henna. hahah. they have 13 places free at this point in time. 13 outta 20 places. thats a lot. hahah.

then we had to choose our performance workshops! this would be the ones we slog like hell over to get ready in time for closing ceremony and stuff. which means that over the days we would have a workshop on this EVERY DAY. for like at least 2 hours, and sometimes stretching up to 3 hours. and apparently we only get to sleep at 1130pm every nite and we have to wake up at unearthly hours. yes.tle

alright so i chose dance. look man the rest suck! except for maybe mime but hey i like talking. so there. so i chose dance and i hereby expect to die cuz the last time i danced was at ORIENTATION. im not a dancer, im a bloody sportswoman. still, at least dance is better than the rest i think.

strangely the most popular here was voice production. like wth. maybe all the rgs girls signed up for that hahah! followed by dance and then drama (which is only for JC people. like wth.) followed by rhythmic fusion, everyday objects as art and then mime. erm, no one likes poetry slam. even til NOW, NO SEATS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. o.O so weird. hahah. according to ele, crawshaw took poetry slam last year. i thought it WOULD be more popular.

hahah i cant wait~ ass week then funtasia then CAP!

alright alright alright. i also realized that my BROTHER USED TO BE IN CAP. he was 2000's batch of CAPpers, and im like 6 years after him cuz he got in at sec 2 and i got in at sec 3. apparently he took mime as his performance workshop and then he did some weird actions which was pretty cute. hahah!

yay. two GEPers in the house, two CAPpers in the house, two canoeists in the house, two arts stream people in the house. this is pretty cool. xD

alright better go mug now, i just had to get that outta my system.

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

funny hahah. was playing THE sec 2 level camp song. which would be dead eye dick's NEW AGE GIRL. still remember my dear DES dancing along to it for the campfire thing. with another guy too, no less. not that she wanted to, she had to. and well. daryl wasnt in the same group as her so lala~

those two have lasted for an amazingly long time. ten bucks says theyll get married. hahah!

this is actually quite destressing. i remember today some person asked if we could bring dictionary into the MI exam.

mrs tan: of course, of course. you shouldnt be penalised just cuz youre almost illiterate.

or something like that. still, LOL. then as she walked back to switch off her laptop she was like, "last year i still remember your seniors asking me "mrs tan, what word is this?" "mrs tan, whats the meaning of this?" wa lao eh."

HAHAHAH. i quite like her mind you. hilarious.

btw, i was feeling super dao today. so i went around daoing people. how innately fun. tiff has attitude!

i feel like such a bitch.

and strangely, i like it! xD

do note that im not always like this. rue to whoever passed me today/rubbed me the wrong way/whatever.

well as my broken heart lies bleeding; you say true love, its suicide.

when my eyes close for the last time
does it all simply end

whatof my soul?
WHAT OF MY SOUL.

okay on a happier note, i managed to restock on my supply of CHOCOLATE~! see ive been cranky lately, and the only thing helping me is my chocolate. yum yum. God bless endorphins. how innately fun.

Saturday, May 06, 2006

i like being a girl. and why?

cuz we have a built in excuse to be bitchy once a month.

how wonderfully charming. so charming that i feel like overdosing on chocolate.

i freaking want to play GTA and kill some helpless moron. or play DMC3 and hear "taste the blood" playing while Dante pwns some demon ass. or maybe go roam around in FF and dream of what can never happen. or perhaps hear zhao yun go another has fallen to my spear! in his faux chinese accent on DW5. not to mention stare at his hot ass. hahah.

i miss drawing DW5 stick figures on the whiteboard with Junyi. makes you really appreciate who or what is in your life, doesnt it?

DHS has level camp next week. the same week which has every darn NJC IP1 student freaking out cuz the exams are like that next week. id rather go to level camp (we all know the dhs's level camps are...errr.) and be eaten alive by mosquitoes/bored to death/made to cheer cheesy lame cheers/put in a group with stupid morons from other classes than prepare for ass week.

ughhh.

emotional rollercoaster
Friday, May 05, 2006

im on an emotional rollercoaster at the time of this entry.

firstly, ass week is coming, i am horribly stressed, depressed, crabby and other stupid feelings you get when your results might just turn out to be so crappy that you could use the test paper as toilet paper.

secondly, my hormones are in over drive. oestrogen, progesterone, and other stupid hormones that we learnt about in sec2 during bio class are all in ZWOOSH mode. i suspect its cuz that girl thing might be coming soon. in about a week, im guessing.

wonderful, not just ass week but that thing as well. my wonderful "auntie from japan" is gonna smack me with a "huge red hongbao" in the middle of a bloody (no pun intended) EXAMINATION.

i am about to die a most disgusting, horrible death.

and due to the first two reasons, here comes reason number three. which was an effect of reasons 1 and 2.

you are stressed, i am stressed, im being crabby and i dont think you know how to react to it. as usual.

just like every other guy in the whole of singapore.

i dunno. every single guy that i know has seriously avoided me during my mood swing period of my that thing. samc! if youre reading this, which i bet you are, please explain to me the vagaries of a guy's mind. why must he avoid every girl who has mood swings??? is it cuz youve never had any or what. and dont know how to react.

okay off the embarrassing topics. but you. assuming youre reading this (which i will make you read if you forget haha), hopefully you will be the first dude in the whole of darn singapore to know how to deal with my crazy mood swings at this point in time. do forgive me if i appeared crabby at school today.

see you online later then.

SPIRE sucks.

whee done. how innately fun!

i feel sad.

warning. emo post below.

i feel sad.

an acknowledgement of the emotion, that was. and i have no idea why. its just that sinking feeling you get for no reason and youre completely peaceful and fine about it, only that it gets kind of uncomfortable at times.

after a while, you kind of get used to the way things are. i keep telling myself come on, come on, its gonna be over soon. but as ass week draws near, i find myself actually worrying about my results.

im not just sad now, im freakingly scared too.

day by day it will be then. have to go die over IH essay now. i wonder if in my mother's time the teachers made them crap up 1000-1200 word essays for the heck of it. cuz its like, no use. really.

knowing the features of command and free market economy isnt gonna help me in real life, really.

its kind of a disillusionment. you dont know what youre doing, where youre heading. its just day by day living. and all youre telling yourself is...

things cant get any worse. its gonna be over soon.

and the worst part is you know youre lying.

this is the lowest. i dont think i can sink any lower into this weird sadness.
