those of you who read Kenny Sia would have seen this...
but THIS is ultra cool...

survived the long day with very little sleep...
8am lect was not bad...
didnt start nodding off...
which was amazing...
10am lect i was blatantly snoozing once in a while...
when suli wasnt looking...
easier to sleep in a lect of 300 people than one with 30...
the flu bug started to kick in then...
was sneezing away...
guy-whose-name-i-forgot said hi for the first time this sem...
and asked if i were sick or something....
unlike the usual me...
all i could mutter was "yeah" and give a sheepish look...
went back to pgp...
had lunch...
popped by the bazaar...
to hear a couple of songs...
trudged my way to WS2...
got lost...
couldnt find my lab...
called ronald...
who gave me some directions...
found it...
did the lab with him and another guy i just met through him...
i was the freaking only girl in the lab group la...
boy, must the guys been hugely disappointed...
no chio bu in class...
experiment was fun...
we even found fun in Stability of Floating Bodies...
what the hell...
but the guys are totally hilarious...
looking forward to more lab sessions with them...
left lab early...
got call from ben...
rushed back to pgp...
printed the forms...
rushed to photocopy them coz my printer out of ink...
mad dash to SRC...
comm interviews...
not many people...
but happy with our lot...
results to be out in a couple of days...
dinner at fong seng...
not exactly the best place to eat while nursing a flu..
but bo pian means bo pian...
made my way back...
plopped on the rug on the floor with the huge cushion...
power napped...
my connection very bad...
domain connection keeps disconnecting...
played a few rounds of Solitaire with the guy when he got back...
he's sick too...
poor guy...

was in bus a2 today..
was sitting in front these 2 guys...
who punctuated every single sentence with the f-word...
f-words sound ok when you speak fluently...
but one guy doesnt even have his grammar and vocab right...
and there he was speaking so loudly...
i know it's kinda like eavesdropping...
but to me...
if you speak audibly enough for me to hear without straining myself...
i'm NOT eavesdropping...
in fact...
you are actually disturbing my peace and quiet too...
and so the guy went on...
even pointing out people on the streets...
saying how fat that girl is, yet driving such a nice car...
that he would throw her in some river and take the car...
and there i was...
totally disgusted at how irritatingly disgusting he was...
and i think he know i was irritated...
the two guys gave me a weird look as i alighted...
the why-the-hell-are-you-listening-to-us look...

it's people like these that make me feel so lucky to have the guy...
fluent english...
impeccable mandarin...
not bad taste in clothes...
beri beri cleber...

good sense of humour...
willing to drive me home even after ~8months...
can windsurf...
plays Solitaire Showdown...
got nice comfy quilt...
wahaha...
kidding la.

but i really do appreciate the guy...
although he can be wang ba dan sometimes...

guy and i realised...
everyone around is getting attached...
a lot of his friends....
all of a sudden...
i look around...
and out of 10 people...
8 are...
doesnt make for a very comforting environment for singles...
kinda like the peer pressure thing...
maybe only i would feel this way...
but it seems as if it were only right not be be single...
and if you were...
something is wrong...
which is far from the truth la...
singles are always more fun...
not a safe statement also...
but maybe if you clone an attached person...
and the clone is unattached...
i'd bet my last dollar that the clone is a fun-ner person to be with...
weird thing to think of...
but this so-many-people-attached-i-must-jump-on-bandwagon thing...
is kinda worrying...
wont some people just jump on the wrong wagon?
in a hurry to jump?
but what the heck...
i've heard of people who change partners like monthly disposable contact lenses...
my notion of love and relationships is still very idealistic...
and its especially difficult to find The One based on so many things that you have to consider...
even after a couple of years together...
you might realise that "hey...it's not what i want..."
and you just go your seperate ways...
dont get hitched (such an old-school word) for the sake of getting hitched...
you might just end up hurting two very fragile hearts...
eeeks...
so cliche...
