turning back, she just laughs
the boulevard is not that bad...
pianoman, he makes his stand
in the auditorium
looking on, she sings the song
the words she knows, the tune she hums.

when i say softly, slowly...

this is my long lost cousin. if anyone else is related to us, please contact peiying asap=)

exciting news

i have extremely exciting news to share with everyone.

I HAVE A NEW COUSIN!

ok technically she's not new (as in new-born) but more of new (as in i never knew she was my cousin)

isn't this exciting!

she's my cousin twice removed (apparently) although technically i think we can argue that she's my cousin once removed. in fact, i think techically she might be my cousin once removed.

i love my new (as in new-found) family member! how fun!

exciting days

yesterday: watched commonwealth mens tabletennis heats.
yesterday night: college square welcome dinner!
today: going to watch swimming. (whose tickets can fetch about 120 each on ebay buahaha)

sponsors: team singapore (ie free tickets)

have to run, supposed to meet at 8.15...

hey! my last post just disappeared. GAH. can't be bothered to type it all over again. and it was really long...

anw, random (short) updates on life...

decided on dinner outfit. have realised why people choose to wear dresses. also watched four feathers and gushed over heath ledger. disclaimer: i liked heath ledgerfrom before brokeback too, and so am not a brokeback-therefore-ledger fan.

marathon walk with bena on sunday. was hot (36 degrees) and tiring. gave up after about 20km, took tram back. will try again on a cooler day.

architecture building's sliding glass panels shrink lower body reflections. as discovered by optom ppl. we stood around and laughed at ourselves, then at reflections of other ppl. esp the tall guy who was scratching his head. amusing stuff.

today, washed dishes. now attempting to stop possibly recurring sore throat. may possibly also loe voice (again).

surfing (continued)

yay surfing! weather was good, waves were HUGE. like, all we had to do was wade into about less than waist level and the waves were big enough to surf already. and coz we had to carry the boards out and surf inwards, it went something like, 3 steps forward, and a wave sweeps u back 1 step. super super tiring. and balancing on the board was damn hard! i stood up a grand total of 4 times. *applause* bena (with her sailing + ballet background) managed to stand up alot more times. hmph.

oh and i discovered a cheaterbug lazy method of not having to paddle... wait for 2 consecutive waves... so the first one gives forward momentum and immediately the second one can be used to surf. yay!

but 3 consecutive waves are BAD. example: i used the first to surf, got knocked down by the second, and got flipped by the third. tt's how frequent and strong the waves were.

will post pics soon...!

surfing tml!

start of sem 1 2006

opto/vision class of 130-plus has been drastically sliced down to 56 people. the exact number that fit into the clinic's lecture theatre. which also means that alot of ppl have disappeared into other courses. which is pretty sad=(

glad tt lauren and michelle got in though=) yay!

have just realised that once again my student id is the last one in the class. unless the 2 new transfers in got later numbers. hmm. oh and was totally freaked out in 221 when random people answered all the questions when i had absolutely no idea what was going on. either it's a result of not taking 111, or they're smart, or i'm dumb.

201 was kinda like histo, on fast fast fast forward. and i've found my histo cd! yay! beautiful coloured pics. unfortunately left my full page prints back home... oh well.

oh and i realised mondays will be kinda irritating. coz i've gotta sprint all the way from ec-copland to optom clinic. within the transition time. which is supposed to be 10 minutes, which is barely enough for a brisk walk. BUT 141 always ends late or at least right on time which leaves me less than 3 minutes to do my 1.4km sprint. grrr.

hmm other news. vball training later! yay! i am so out of touch, kept serving out yesterday. oh well. and had to leave the pub social early too. hmm. will ask cera if anything amusing happened. yay training!

oh and since there're no tutes or pracs this week, i had no school on tues, 1 hr today, 2 hrs tml, and 1 hr on fri. yay i love no-tute-no-prac day. ran into rumin and eunice (clar's classmate) and decided to go with them to say hi to shulin. poor med people, they're already starting to mug now in week 1.

i think tml's supposed to be curry day. not sure. curry! but throat's still a little sore-ish. hmm. nvm. curry!
