A Thousand Miles

So I came back on Monday to see that Rowena has kindly vandalized my table with sticky notes.

Glad she found that therapeutic though. Now I know what's gonna happen the next time she's had a bad day.

I wouldn't usually consider myself a vain person.

But I think I proved myself wrong last night.

Thought I'd do some Bio revision for the upcoming test, so I was going through the notes I've made in classes.

And at what I think was the 3rd page, it came to me that I wasn't actually absorbing anything though clearly still staring my notes. Then I realized all my recent thoughts for the past 5 minutes were along the lines of, ''Whoaa, my handwriting is amazing''.

Uh oh, and this is the personal side project I mentioned in the last post (:

Though it took up alot of my time and just made my hectic week busier, I'd say it was worth it. I enjoy filming anyway. Though editing was a pain in the backside (:

Yeah, the video quality's not that good. Though it originally was. Pretty impressed with my camera, really. But Windows Movie Maker compressed the file which affected the quality.

I need a to get a video editing software. Gotta give Windows Movie Maker some credit though. That programme's really user-friendly and simple.

Uh oh uh oh and also, Bryce & I finally wrote that song ! about going to the moon.

I wouldn't say it's complete though. Heh. Was great hanging out with him. and getting to know hi..s younger brother, who wrote a pretty damn interesting song. From a man's perspective, about his wife. It's definitely not a love song, I'd say.

Unless you consider these lines romantic, I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PERSPECTIVE !

Cool kid though (:

Wish I was creative enough to write about husbands when I was 10. Instead, I played with sand. & that rhymes.

So, with all that behind me, means I've only 1 thing left to look forward to, which is my netball tournament in Singapore this weekend.

Besides that, I have nothing but alot of deadlines to meet in these 2 weeks.

Guess I'll get started now.

OOOHHH, for film club, we watched this Bollywood movie, Taare Zameen Par, and I'm in love with the soundtracks. Just thought I'd say that.

Bole Chudiyan

So. All my blog titles are song titles. Because I get lazy to get creative with titles.

The current one's in what I think should be Hindi. cause I've been listening to Hindi songs for the past hour or so. 

Why? Because I can. Not to mention it sort of lifts up my mood too. and it's so dance-y too. If I had to break out into a dance right now or at any time, I'd definitely break out into a Bollywood dance. But I don't know any moves. So I'd probably just end up looking like a retard. Oh well.

Everybody's gotta look like a retard every once in a while.

Yeah. Words of wisdom right there.

Man, it's been such a crazy week.
(Gotta admit, I did bring some of it upon myself. Like this side personal project I'm working on. That's taking alot of time. Can't wait to finish it and show it ! )
I've been sleeping for a maximum of 6 hours since I came back from midterm break.

Then, yesterday, I finally got my full 8 hours of sleep. Thought I'd be so REFRESHED for school.

But joke's on me, for some reason, I was sleepier than ever today. Was painful trying not to sleep during Bio & TOK. Because I'm such an opportunist, I pounced on the chance to sleep when Ms Tippi decided to let us have one lesson of Math to do math exercises from the textbook.

She's a beautiful person. Till she lowers my self esteem in Math again.

Anyway, some happy pictures to help me procrastinate with my academics.

 My lovelies are an awesome lot.

Finally met up with Joon Keit. Been buds since we were 10. (:

 Non-uniform dayyy.

 Boarding party to celebrate the birth of February babies.

February baybehs. That's the biggest smile you'd get from David for a picture.

 Heh. What we did for Steph. Got her down at 12 am.
Then spoke for an hour till 1.

This amazing woman-soon-to-be. (:

Then we had a proper dinner among the few of us. Well, nothing went as planned. Then we had some complications with the Head of Boarding. So we ended up eating by the streets. Hobo themed partay !

We dived into the cake (:

Cut cake symmetrically? pffft.

 There's no party's like a hobo party. <3

So got a few things to look forward to ;

- Rowena's birthday party

- giving her her gift. Eh heh.

- meeting up with Bryce this weekend to lay eggs of creativity

- Netball competition in Singapore next weekend

But besides that, I've got a shitload of work and studying to do.

YAY!

Douchebag

Wow. Really. Fcking appreciative aren't you? But at least it's clear to me now. & I'm not even gonna bother trying anymore. Author of the moment, next chapter please.

Home

Weehoo.

I get really lazy to dry my hair sometimes all the time.

Waiting for the cab to come. to go to the jetty. then take the ferry to the mainland. then to take a bus.
Excited to see my family and friends again.

Heading to perak though, not KL.
Uncle got admitted to the hospital, really hope he's alright. :/

Not gonna be able to enjoy this hols.
Got work piled up to my neck.
But I shall work on it.

Cause I'm a turned leaf !
I've successfully procrastinated much much less with my work.

No, really, I have (:

Weh-eh-ell.

That was the slowest chinese new year ever passed.

Because.
I became a social retard.

While all my relatives were chatting, betting, running around, playing games, just going on with their
HAHAHAHs
HEHEHEHEs
HOHOHOs
TEEHEEHEEs
OLOLOLOLOLs
HEEHAWWHEEHAWWs
and every other variation of laughter,

I was playing along, laughing, fooling around..
..sitting in the corner on my laptop working on my math IA.
For four whole days.

Just. sitting. there. typing away.
Oh well :)
Pretty satisfied with what I managed to come up with, 23 pages of maths.
Fingers crossed that I make sense. Thank goodness for Steph & Siew, at least I got to make sure that I was on the right track.

Was nice awesome all my relatives again anyway, though I didn't really get to mingle and fool around with them like always.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Seeing all my younger cousins grow just makes me realise how quick time has passed by.

I know it's a very cliche thing to be talking about.
But seeing my cousings, my parents and everyone around me grow older make me realise I am getting older too. Heck, I'm already 18. I'm still not over that.
It kinda freaks me out. I just wanna crawl somewhere where time stops. and just. stay. there.
Sometimes, when I'm with people I love, I tell myself, ''I need to appreciate and value this'' cause that's what everyone says, to appreciate the time you have with others.
I have made a great mental note of that.
But I just don't know how. I mean. If I were to think about appreciating the moment while actually still being in the moment, it gets me sad, knowing these moments won't come around as much as I grow older.
Makes me feel really helpless.

So wouldn't that just spoil the moment?
Hence, I concluded that by appreciation, it's to know how to prioritize your time with the people who matter, then to keep those times in mind. and not think about it while being with them.
Don't make sense to you? Oh well.

Carpe Momento, everyone ;)
