rebel!

3:52 PM
that's it. i've had a revelation.

sexiness is overrated.

from now on, i shall CHOOSE to be unsexy.
the issue here is nt whether i am or not, but that i am making a decision.

henceforth, i shall be unsexy. but please note i made a conscious choice.

HAH. sucks to you sexy people! UNsexy is the new sexy.

ps: this has nothing to do with the fact that i'm putting on weight, or that suddenly my capris fit very snugly on me, or that someone told me that my clothes were becoming too small for me, or that i've been having supper too often, or that i've become a sloth. no siree, nothing at all.

finally!

11:04 AM
ugh. it's been ages. exercise and me drifted apart once term started, and i tell you it was a relief to go for a swim. =) wonderful stress relief. i could feel the tension dissolve away from me in the water as i did laps. and the water perks you up. now hopefully with abt 4 1/2 hours of sleep and an hour plus of swimming i'll still be able to get some good work done in the afternoon AND survive a gruelling project meeting at 5 AND then manage culture night rehearsal (oh sebby what would i do without you? hahah). i'm so going to collapse at the end of the day.

i've been feeling blobby and flabby and wobbly (omfg my ARMS wobble. i no longer have skinny arms.) and it was really time to get off my butt and get some exercise. didn't feel like running, and wanted a tan (oh shuttup already!). sky looked grey but there was some sun: notenough can! i hardly changed colour (you can stop snickering now you racist bastards). but of course, as usual, the sun shone on full intensity the second i got OUT of the pool. damn my anuja luck. but shall not complain - at least no rain. =)

butbut but. after swimming, i don't FEEL any thinner. i don't even LOOK thinner. i guess i shouldn't expect results so fast huh. or maybe i shouldn't expect any results at all. i should accept that i am an indian woman! and that flabbiness is our fate! *wail!* was whining to ashley and jinling about the newfound flabbiness - it's actually quite traumatising - and they both say that first i should stop mooching off other people's food.

hmmm. good point. shall think about it.

oh and after today, i have decided that the meanest people in the world are: a) mothers in law (i'm just saying: my mum says so) b) swimming coaches.

the swimming coach at clementi was fucking mean to his students la! wanted to punch him. he was so demoralising i tell you. like that how do you expect the kids to want to continue to train? i don't get it. it reminded me of my pri sch days when my parents forced me to go for swimming lessons and my coach was a this big chunk of beef and he made me swim and swim and swim. he gave up yelling at me, he got so exasperated that i spent most of my time hanging on to the side of the pool gasping for breath and procrastinating the next lap i had to do. ANDand on top of that i had to contend with swimming with a bunch of skinny manjans who were fast and could blow air into their pyjamas faster than i could. BAH. damn you swimming coaches of the world. you think life is easy when your standing all dry at the rim of the pool when the rest of us KIDS are splattering around in the water.

hmm. think i shall make this a weekly ritual. clementi swimming complex isn't that far away, and it's cheap thrill for me to buy the 50 cent child ticket hahaha. ya la src free la, but i refuse to be exhibitionist in NUS. i rather that in front of considerably older random people.

swimming once a week, and jogging twice? you think that'll reduce the love handles and double chin?

*grumbles*

finally woken

1:28 AM

i finally bought her! yippee. after listening to random song sof hers on pandora and digging through my iTunes for her songs i finally bought her cd. =) if you like corriene bailey rae you'll like jem too. i just LOVE her lyrics. they're simple, sweet and most importantly make sense. the RHCP do NOT make sense. then again, nor does neil gaiman sometimes. but i still read him. ohwell.

anyway here are the lyrics off one song on the album, it's not one of the popular ones.

jem
falling for you

Said there'd be no going back
Promised myself I'd never be that sad
Maybe that's why you've come along
To show me, it's not always bad

Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so

It's true I've become a skeptic
How many couples really love
Just wish I had a crystal ball
To show me, if it's worth it all

Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so
Yeah I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so

And I've got to be sure
Coz it's been so long
And I cannot take the pain again
If it all goes wrong

Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so
Yeah I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so

this deepavali

1:00 AM
i'm going to appreciate.

the parents. their support has been invaluable this year, honestly - i don't know what i'd do without them. we may have the usual parent-child arguments, but they have got to be the bestest parents ever. i couldn't have asked for a better set of people to bring me up. they've guided me and have been there for me through the arangetram and through my stressful semester and i could not have done without them. their love has been invaluable. i promise, i'll try to be good, i'll try to be home and i'll try to spend as much time with you guys as possible. i promise that i WILL buck up and pull up my cap and make sure that you guys are proud of me. because i sure as hell am proud of the both you.

hall mates/floor mates. the other inmates of the insane asylum that i stay in most of the time. thank you guys for the entertainment, the company, the food, the laughter etc. you guys complete my uni life. without you all, nus would be dull as vanilla. or yucky like yam. but now it's rocky road with chocolate bits and rasberry swirls and raisins and brownie bits and whipped cream. good luck to those going on exchange - you guys will be missed.

revelations

1:57 AM
i have made a few revelations today!

1. the 3 crates of liquid in the dininghall during dinner serve different coloured juices, not just one as i previously thought! imagine my surprise when i filled cups with not just pink juice, but orange and water as well! so exciting. it's magic!

2. breakfast: it's either milo or soya bean, never both. =( how sad. i hate soya bean. eew.

3. IO quizzes are upon 6: therefore, one is expected to circle 6 right answers, not any less, not any more. seems it's logical and i should have realised this earlier, but of course not. i am only interrigent at periodic intervals that occur at low frequencies.

4. omg there are more than 1 IO practice tests in the tets bank! i didn't realise that in 81 pages there couldn't be just 10 quizzes. i am such a dodo. why doesn't it strike pearlie to tell us these things? grrr. so now i can feel less insecure cos i don't just have 2002 questions to practice but i have 2003, 2004 AND 2005 questions to attempt. YAY i shall make an IO question booklet. printed at amma's office of course. if NUS gives me such lousy lecturers then i might as well make it my sch fees worth to exploit her dept's printing facilities hurhur.

5. KRX. is NOT KR Acts. it's KRX cos we're X rated. or just call us KRSex. i think almost every other male member of KRX has attempted to hump miss lucy, the mannequin. poor thing, she must be tired.

6. likestoplay is now a trademark of KRSex.

7. the arts canteen sells special tuna waffles to keelong, which looks and smells suspiciously like peanut butter, just so that anuja won't eat them.

8. IO isn't complete without cocaine coated chips, cups of tea or coke, peeing, Firm Boobs, Big Ang Moh Boobs, Big Boobs on Fat Girl etc.

9. Econs is incomplete without jinling, pearline, keelong, ashley, pearline's brains and pearline's tutorials - which are a seperate entity of their own.

10. smitam =)

lost in space

3:29 PM
One of my all time favourites - began playing on my iTunes today and amidst my scary game theory presentation preparation, the lyrics made me smile, as always.

Lost in Space
Lighthouse Family

Sometimes I get tired of this me first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
Thats why Im always wishing hard for you

'Cause your life shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why cant it always be so good

But its alright, I know youre out there
Doing what youve gotta do
You are my soul satellite
Id be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

And Ill never lose my faith in you
And Ill never lose my faith in you

=)

had lunch with mum today, the woman is freakishly intuitive.
*shudders*

econs doesn't like me.

12:34 AM
sometimes (did i say sometimes? i think i meant all the time), this is what i feel about econs.

when you've got tutorials to do which are so bloody hard and are so time consuming and so mathsy, this picture echoes my sentiments exactly. chinaman bastard, can you not set questions that you haven't covered yet in lecture? gah.

and also when i study for IO tests and i still end up getting a ZERO. oh fuckety fuck. the ultimate humiliation is when jinling AND keelong laugh at me! you bitches, how can you? where are the words of consolation? the 'don't worry nooj it'll be fine!'? all i get his keelong's characteristic walrus like nasal cackle and jinling's bimbotic giggle. ah sigh. and you nice IO man, can you learn how to use punctuation? your questions are deprived of fullstops. sangat confusing lah dei. we even wished you happy deepavali in the feedback form. ='(


goodbye, world!
*exits with a luxurious sob and hand on forehead*

(sorry, stage direction is a result of typing theatre studies essay for 3 days.)

2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory about you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.

and she says:

1. You are an idiot. Random enough? :D no it's not.
i may be an idiot, but that's not random!
2. Be all serious, philosophical and stable. In my presence ( Since YOU complain, its my presence that causes you to have the mad glint, I was forced to add the disclaimer)
i'm capable of being all philosophical and stable! iyamiyam. but your prescene dulls my brain. can you blame me?

3. Rainbow. like you are on effing LSD 24h. hahahah
puff the magic draaagon lived by the seaaa. he frolicked in the autumn land *brays*
4. You laugh at anything. Even my cannot make it jokes. :D
like: what goes blackwhiteblackwhiteblackwhite haha? ans: vasudha in a white t shirt.
5. @ music. Insisting your handwriting was oh so more gorgeous than mine. Such a BRAT! ( And I was nice enough to agree with you because you and puja would NOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT and I needed to go home.)
i have photos of us with bad hair and HUGE ando glasses and putting thalam as if we were the proest singers in the vorrrld.
6. A slightly drugged tigger.
can i be piglet! it's pink!
7. If you were a guy, what kinda guy would you be?
babe, we concluded daisy is lesbian. i don't know what my point is.

i miss you girl, and thanks for the concern. keep reading your kiddy joke bible, i'm sure it'd give you inspiration for kiki and yoko ono.
