africa!

11:00 AM
on a happier note, africa was fantastic. the country has an immense amount of potential and it really saddened me to see secondary education not available to many, and those who did get university degress left the country for greener pastures. so you get many jobless - due to the dearth of jobs AND to the fact that the people are educationally unqualified for what's available. the men just mooch around the whole day. but the kids are absolutely adorable: they yell 'mzungu mzungu!' (white man) everytime they see a tourist vehicle and run and wave frantically. hahahah. i wanted to bring back some cute little kiddos but my dad told me to stop pretending to me madonna or anglelina jolie.

to reiterate: i am angelina jolie okay. i insist. what, you don't agree? whatever, go bang some walls.

the safaris were amazing. serengeti (wide open space in maasai), ngorongoro (named after the sound that the wildebeests make) and tarangire. so nice! it was like being in jurassic park.

to clear common misconceptions:

lions are NOT ferocious creatures. they are lazy and sleep all the time. zebras and fat and eat all the time. hippos are lazy too, they hibernate in the water and yawn all the time. wildebeests are cute and not at all fugly - the have spindly legs and fat round bodies. sources inform me wildebeest meat tastes good YUCK! so grossss. monkeys are the most entertaining, they are constantly doing something like picking nits off each others' armpits. i wanted to take one home, dad said we have enough monkeys in the house. ohwell.

ANDand baby animals are cutest ever. baby elephants playing with each other, baby ostriches trotting after their parents, baby monkeys carried on their mothers' backs, baby zebras with their light brown stripes, baby lions as the peek over the boulder. aahhh.

and subconsciously, i bought the lion king soundtrack. which is greatness!

running and ranting.

10:23 AM
will smith said it right:

running introduces you to your worst enemy, to that person who tells you, 'ooh, our ankles hurt and we should stop. why do we need to run five kilometres? let us run three.' that is the same person who says to the man, 'hey, your wife will never find out if you sleep with her,' and the same perspn who tells the 16-year-old kid, 'you are not going to be cool if you do not smoke it.' if you start giving into that person, you will never get to your goals.

running isn't so much about exercise, i realise. it isn't about losing weight, although admittedly that's why i run - i'm okay with the lovehandles but i'd like to see them disappear someday, hopefully someday soon. running is primarily about keeping fit, yes. you feel good about yourself, the adrenaline rush is wooo.

but running also gives you self discipline. when you tell yourself, you ARE going to run that 4 km, you do it. it bugged me when i couldn't do my minimum of 4 km continuously. managed to complete it in an agonisingly slowass speed - i bet the snail chewing on some green juicy grass could have crawled there faster. dunno, maybe i'm just weird, but i think pushing yourself and making sure that you cover the distance you set for yourself is a reflection of how you handle other things in life that require discipline. like studies for example. and dance, in my case.

besides, running is great stress relief, it's like physically screaming out loud, expelling the pain and hurt from your body, and releasing pent up frustrations that have accumulated, that you have to let go or else you'll burst.

i never knew one could feel extreme physical pain when experiencing an emotional trauma. it's like being kicked in the gut, run over by the north east line and then thrown into a pool where the piranhas have been starving for days. and then they chew you into pieces slowly but steadily, and you feel every single bite with the pain magnified about 19 times.

we'll get through this. right?

from evita

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through
and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me--and they do
So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going go?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation--here and now
So what happens now?

gah, this blog wasn't supposed to be all meloncholic but mad and floozy.

adieu!

1:10 AM
so i am off.

okay fine, so i'm not going near any volcanoes.

i shall have fun in africa! no seb, i am NOT going back to my motherland. hahah.

i haven't fully packed but so far i have thrown into my suitcase a few fugly tshirts, some of my pink underwear, random yoga pants, and a pair of ultra uncool pants that i bought in a clementi pasar malam for $10 about 4 years ago. i am going to look so unglam in photos but i don't care. the other ultra uncool pair of pants that i bought in a clementi pasar malam for $10 4 years ago is unusable because 1. i outgrew it! 2. it has holes in all the wrong places as pointed out to me rather embarrassingly by a random auntie on the mrt in jurong east 2 years ago.

don't ask me why i remember such random pieces of information.

wooo 4 days in a beach resort! sexciting. i shall come back with the world's most wonderful tan. =) YES i shall use sunblock.

so farewell little people!

pornstarsss!

11:04 PM
yay finally the committee pictures are out. =)

so that's us, the comm, being pretty normal. belle looking all demure and tat being the rose among the thorns.

and here we are doing what we're good at. if all fails i swear we'll actually get together and make a porn flick, with of course, seb as our director and hero due to his vast expertise in the porn making business, and not forgetting his rather large *ahem* assets.

i did NOT even think that these children would be so excited at being pornstars. just look at the guys. lin. jamie. desmond. even engtat whostaysine308. keelong's a natural la, that one makes sex noises in econs lecture. hahah.

and i have no idea where nini's hands are. hmmm.

and i though this picture of our wonderful e block comm is hilarious. i can honestly say that gerald, ether and albert are not acting. =) if anyone needs porn go find albert but ssshh don't tell anyone!

holidaysss?

10:36 AM
no one seems to be updating nowadays.

i'm waiting for the father to get back to me about exchange matters (although he assumes that i call him only when my mum doesn't agree with what i say hahah)

here's what i learnt over the weekend.

1. do not club with 3 inch heels.

2. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet.

3. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet, and if you haven't had dinner.

4. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet, if you haven't had dinner, and if you had gotten 3 vaccinations jabs that same day.

5. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet, if you haven't had dinner, if had you gotten 3 vaccinations jabs that same day and your left arm is semi numb and is paining.

6. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet, if you haven't had dinner, if you had gotten 3 vaccinations jabs that same day, your left arm is semi numb and paining, and if the doctor tells you that side effects include fever, bodyache. and other flu like symptoms.

7. do not club with 3 inch heels especially if you know that they're going to hurt your feet, if you haven't had dinner, if you had gotten 3 vaccinations jabs that same day, if your left arm is semi numb and paining, if the doctor tells you that side effects include fever, bodyache. and other flu like symptoms, and if you are experiencing fever, bodyache and other flu like symptoms.

but it was fun. yelling at random people when they banged into my arm, running off to sulk in a corner when it got too crowded, dancing with my girls - will miss you people. nini have fun in SL, don't do too many naughty things hehe. ashley thanks for the lovely lovely cookies you baked for mee! viknesssss we need to catch up. gah.

soon, i'll be the last one left.

7:31 AM
but it's okay, there'll always benny =) i'm feeling better at your expense benny hahah.

so anyway, my floormates are going out of the way to make us we-still-have-examers feel better like this:

A: i'm bored. let's do something.
B: YA!! i knowiknow! let's play badminton.

(anuja snorts in the background)

A: do you think the hall will be free?
C: i'll go check.

(anuja rolls her eyes in pain and annoyance)

C: oh it's not free =(
B: so where shall we play? *whines*

anuja: how about right outside our corridors, to constantly remind the rest of us that we still have exams and that you guys don't? (smiles a huge sincere grin)

C: what time's your paper tomorrow?
me: it's the day after *sobs*
C: oh you've got another day to study!
me: pfffft
C: so why aren't you joining us for happy feet and dinner tomorrow? oh, oops! sorrysorry.
me: grrrr.

exams.

10:02 AM
so, yes, the exams.

3 papers finished, one more left. YES i know i have a week to mug for it but do you realise when i haven't even touched the module there's actually a LOT to study? and especially since it's one of my weak modules so that means extra effort is still needed. gah. anyway no bitching about exams. i shall refrain from doing that. this is a happy blog. wheee.

butbut studying for this module is fun. the more i read my scribblings, the more i reread my plays, the more i fall in love with them. although as i read streetcar i get convinced that i'm exactly like blanche duboir, or as i read godot i get the idea that (in the short term) these exams are never ending, and all i'm doing is waiting for them to be over and once that happens i'm just going to be waiting for my uni days to be over and then it just goes on, a repetitive cycle. it is amazing: beckett has written godot with such brutal honesty. i love it. godot is hilarious though. homecoming is powerful, the ending mise-en-scene just makes you not want to take your eyes of the stage. i'm beginning to not like williams anymore, he's too sun tv already. too much jangjang.

see i actually got brains, hor.

pity i can't do any lovely theatre modules next semester. ohwell. there's production. hahah. cannot wait! (:

so anyway, the exams.

exams make me have weird sleeping hours (although my floormates have even weirder sleeping hours), make me get fat from the major case of the munchies i get when i study, make me dehydrated from all the coffee and tea i drink AND give me coffee breath so gross, make my room dirty because i forget to clean it, and make me stressed because pearline stays across me and she is THE muggerqueen, and it gives me REALLY weirdass dreams. but the worst thing that exams can do, is that they make me oh SO unglam.

man, have i neglected personal grooming. suddenly shaving my legs has become a chore, so i leave it until it becomes completely necessary, which is just icky. and furthermore it's time consuming and i begin to think i could have finished one econs chapter when i actually do bother shaving.

and then, the horror of all horrors, i let my eyebrows grow out. man, did they look nasty. i told myself, after exams go get them threaded. but everytime i looked at the mirror, i saw this monster staring back at me, with bushy black fur above her eyes, shapeless and rectangular. and fugly. it was horrifying, disgusting. such a turnoff to myself! how could i let this happen? it is no fun being hairy. (desiree: this is another demerit of being indian, on top of the wide hips and skinny legs. the big boobs do not make up for everything you know!)

i couldn't take it, so i did them myself. BIGSMILE. oh they look wonderful now. i should so become a beautician. =) i am back to my gorgeous self! *prances* i am fit for human interaction now!
