Hahaha omg i must stop shopping, but i feel really happy when i buy anything. But I think i've been making less impulsive buys nowadays. Every buy has been a good buy! Yay to ultimate shopping partner!

[October 11th 2008 11:50pm] dry_the_tears Omg this sort of cool stuff always happens! Haven't talked to Margaret in a million years online, and a few minutes ago I opened a convo and said hello to her. Within a split second I got a reply and I was like o.0 margaret has incredibly fast response?! Turns out that she talked to me at the same time that I talked to her. Much psychicness haha. Haha on another note, I downloaded some cool games on my phone. As inspired by the mobile Towerbloxx on QW's phone today haha. Been playing them non-stop ever since though ><.

[October 11th 2008 10:31pm] idyllism  Just came home from Mr Low's wedding in school.  While holding it in school may have attracted much derision, in the end it wasn't so bad after all.  I guess at the end of the day its the happiness of the two most important people that matters, and that certainly was true.  Haha I'm happy for him!  His wife seems really nice, and from what I've heard she's is really nice. He's a nice coach, and one that I respect (even though we may make fun of his grammar sometimes).  Wish him all the best, haha hope he enjoys his honeymoon over the next week.  He deserves his happiness! Training under L2 should be....er interesting haha.  Match on thursday apparently, should be fun.  I'm enjoying training alot these days.   I'll be back with a longer post soon, haven't blogged properly in a while. GTA IV and NG II :D

Out [October 11th 2008 2:45pm] lumonade I hereby declare myself a bookworm, a coach couch potato, a vegetable. Oh, a root? The minute I picked up Tenth Circle yesterday afternoon (I woke up past noon I think, oops), I couldn't put it down - not even during lunch. Hooray for book stands. After three of Picoult's books, I moved on to some pure chick flick. I'm praying hard that I'll find another of Picoult's book on the library shelves come Monday. It's addictive I tell you. Though I must admit that I'm getting a bit sick of the legal system and all the lab reports. Nonetheless, she keeps me clinging on the edge of my bed. Well, yeah, something like that. ( Quotes - don't read too much into them. ) In other news, guess who I saw yesterday (when I finally finished reading the book, and managed to lug myself out). Okay you wouldn't know of course. I was stunned, for the lack of a better word. Well it doesn't happen on a daily basis that someone you've been trying so hard to forget for the past year stands metres away from you and gives you the thumbs up sign. I can't quite remember if my face wore "SHOCK" or "HAPPINESS" on it, but I did manage a small wave. Like, a half wave (Shuh, don't kill me). Okay enough excitement there. Time to get going. I know I still owe a post that I haven't forgotten about.

[October 10th 2008 9:27pm] teneramente It's scary how I am so easily tired out nowadays D: My energy is totally drained by evening, which is not good, considering there's so much work to be done. ( This week at a glance )

Crazy [October 10th 2008 2:29am] lumonade Yes, crazy, not the alternative. Yesterday was one day I wish never happened, and yet am glad that it did. Don't ask me why I'm still up at this hour. I finally finished Keeping Faith. Quotes shall come tomorrow, or when I'm any more stable than now. It feels like the pieces are falling into place. I've talked about eight different things - don't bother trying to decipher. Coherence isn't on my side at the moment. I can't quite differentiate between gifts and otherwise right now. Things not to say, simply because inverted commas aren't usually heard and... 1. My sole aches! (not soul, of course) 2. I really like "to be with you"! (the song) 3. EH she doesn't know "I'm yours"! (again, the song) Ah yes, what did I say about being crazy?

[October 8th 2008 9:52pm] idyllism  Man, I haven't felt so unsure in a long time! About this, and about that.  It's just one of those weeks. And ah, mid-term blues. Never realized it till now, but its so, so easy to lose sight of your original priorities, and distinguish what's important from whats more important.  Haha the 6Ds at work.   I do have to get my passion back.  Somewhere along the way, without realizing it...it's slipped away.  And I'm pretty damn disappointed with myself.  But there's still half a term left.  There's time to change this.  There's time to do what I came here to do.   I don't want to regret this. ...and my confidence for chinese has hit rock-bottom.  I think in 1 month's time, I will go into the exam hall, look at the zuowen, and write all of one line for it.  Sigh.  People keep telling me, 'can chiong, can chiong!', but...I don't know.

smile and say its ok [October 8th 2008 10:15pm] privatelimited He met her at a party. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..." Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it. After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again." Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet." Love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but hold on :)

Stuck [October 7th 2008 9:47pm] lumonade The thing about having something hidden in your past is that you spend every minute of the future building a wall that makes the monster harder to see. You convince yourself that the wall is sturdy and thick, and one day, when you wake up and the horrible thing does not immediately jump into your mind, you give yourself the freedom to pretend that it is well and truly gone. Which only makes it that much more painful when something like this happens, and you learn that the concrete wall is really as transparent as glass, and twice as fragile. - Keeping Faith, by Jodi Picoult. What is so enchanting about (good) books is that they can take you out of time, to an entirely different setting. Maybe it's just my imagination, but reading books has the same effect on me as watching movies. In that sense, it pays to be visual. When talking about the word of the day, legs, I beg to differ :p There weren't any telltale signs of aches when I got out of bed this morning. While people were mourning about how painful it was getting to school, I just sat there and blinked, thinking of the book I forgot to bring to school. It was much later in the afternoon that I felt my core muscles tense up, as did TMLL's. Great. I may be slightly retarded, but I had no idea that muscle aches could be retarded too. It's probably like walking before crawling eh? Heehee enough said. In the birthday department, happy birthday to the Queen of Farfaraway and also to an old friend. Hope you (two) had a grrrreeeeaaaaaat seventeenth! I'm going to school for first block PE, and last block assembly tomorrow, followed by more ironmen PT. Don't ask. Goodnight.

And this dry run is supposed to be final cut since it's the only rehearsal chance we get. But what we currently have now is definitely not final cut material.
