Bonding session...
Today marks a successful outing with good friend, xx. We seldom have time to meet. Wanted to go shopping for ages (since last year) but didn't manage the time. Finally, it realised... Not much shopping to speak of since we have nothing in mind to buy. A mutual agreement on the place for lunch, seems that we really have much in common... Then we both fell in love with this piggy soft toy that we half decided to each buy one and started devising plans on how to show them off during future exco outings... really funny... But we didn't buy in the end because we were running off for our next activity... it is kind of a KIV (keep in view) thing.Next activity cycle: Karaoke sesson... Since it is only the 2 of us, we each monopolised a microphone and started singing almost non stop for 5 hours. Quite proud of our stamina and voice... but scared that my tuition kid tomorrow will think she just hired a tutor who mimes. I like singing with good fren cos we always challenge ourselves to sing funny songs which other people would not even bother to pick at all. Had a great time singing and laughing... We even planned the songs and cheers for our supposed year end camp, inspired by our ktv session.
Dinner is enjoyable... walking all the way to chinatown for chicken rice... then we decided to go bugis to eat dessert... a long wait there... but it's worth the wait i suppose... All the laming around... set me reminiscing about our time spent during the course last year...
Ok time for rest...

Colourless...
Last week, I finally went to the hairdresser to give my hair its due haircut. Think I didn't patronise any hairdresser for the past half year, but I think my hair did not grow significantly longer and it began to curl at the bottoms... In other words, it became the epitome of disarray when it was let down. Thought I would give it a little trim to get the shape and for it to grow in a more organised way. But it turned out that my hair took more than a little trim... It returned to its original length 1 year ago... short... The hair stylist suggested that I look better with short rather than long hair which i think is quite true. So in the end, half a year's effort ended up on the floor....My new hairstyle looks quite sporty... Requires me to gel up a bit... But i think my skills are not up to it... didn't get the desired effect. My hairstylist told me that i should dye or highlight my hair a bit to make it look better. My sentiments exactly... However, i am duty bound not to... Initially, I was so tempted to do it...but then i talked to several people and i decided that i shouldn't do it at least in my term of office.... Kind of disappointed.... It's ok... I shall keep it black for the time being...

Dead beat... ...
I can really appreciate the meaning of the word 'tired' now... Lessons start in the mornings.... Lessons end at 8 or 9 pm at night... Even with the breaks in between, it doesn't really help, nothing much achieved in the few hours... I suppose it is not the physical tiredness that really matters... it is the emotional drain that saps my energy. The thought of having to stay in school late and not being able to go home when others could...Yesterday really busy... didn't wake up early enough to eat breakfast, didn't finish stuff fast enough to eat lunch, didn't think of eating dinner in sch cos didn't expect jam.... in essence... ended up hungry, tired and miserable sitting in a crowded bus wondering 'why is this happening to me'... maybe it is the hunger that irks me... think i resumed to my normal self after intake of food..
Today was another late day... very tired after the whole day of lectures and tutorials... This was especially evident considering the fact that I actually didn't bother to make a detour to avoid a 4- legs (commonly known as a dog) which was directly in my path when I was walking home.
Just hope that I can get a few days of rest this weekend....

I think I am busy...
Morning 6 am, dad woke me up cos i am supposed to go for some competition this morning. far far away at the western side of the island... original intention was to wake up early to take the train. but then body ruled over mind again... and intentions remained as intentions. went back to sleep for another an hour, so had to benefit the cabs.Competition was quite fun, at least i hit the target board a decent number of times and i did improve vastly from my previous attempt. Thought my fingers would be yelling after the first 5 rounds, but it seems that they are in a rather cooperative mood today... My apologies to anali for having to take the bus alone in...
Afternoon marks an enjoyable lunch with anali and barbara... i am truly apologetic to barbara for not being able to go to her house despite her earnest invitations . When i have stuff weighing on my mind, i don't have the mood to have fun... just need to go home to complete them... sorry...
Evening calls for celebration... went for gil's birthday party. We had a pretty interesting prelude... Fang picked me up from home and we went on to Hougang to pick hh, then we drove to Sengkang to get Jieying. Long trip... not to mention the numerous U turns that we made in the process. During which i realised that i was not appropriately attired for the occasion cos the host calls for all to be dressed in pink. Fang, being a nice person, sent me home for that, so we turned back and hit home. Haha... nice exploration of the northern and central part of the island...
Gil's party was pink... really pink.... almost everyone was fitted in pink apparels... in various shades and cuttings. Think her family members are really supportive. Can't get my uncles to wear a pink t shirt even if i buy the shirts for them. Or maybe i can.... haha... just a thought. I am sure in their wardrobe... pink is the colour that is lacking... I am very impressed with her party... she even had a mascot...
Quite a packed day... no time really to rest... maybe i should sleep early tonight....

Nice outing... reliving my childhood...
Kite flying... Never really had a chance to fly a kite before... No childhood to speak of in that aspect. I believe the first and only time i flew a kite, it was already in high up in the sky when i took over the yard of string. Nothing to be proud of. Yesterday, I had another go at kite flying. Spent an afternoon under the hot sun, running around trying to get my kite up and going... without success... After an uneventful 2 hours and assistance from several 'professionals', the kite firmly held its ground. Hence we concluded that it is not a lack of skill but a technical error on the part of the kite.A lazy afternoon spent picnicking, sitting on ponchos in the open field... not really a picnic cos there's nothing much to eat... not that lazy after all since we adjourned to discuss serious stuff... an interesting setting considering the agenda of the meeting...
The eventful day ended with a magnificent display of fireworks completed with murmurs of wonder and looks of marvel ... I expect that is the type of reaction we all get when we see fireworks. I mean we don't get to see them that often. That explains the crowd on the buses, the terrible jam and us walking all the way to the MRT station instead of waiting for the bus.
Quite fun after all... ...

Stressed... ...
I have been dealing with a spate of stresses recently. Things just pop out of no where to stress me out. Maybe it doesn't stress others up as much cos they dun have a 'problem of the day' problem, but i do. I think it is in me to always find something to worry about. I just don't understand why things have to go wrong and always at the last minute. Perhaps it is trying out my reflexes to see how well i deal with tricky and pressing situations. Well, i think i have too much practice on that recently. Time to give others a chance... Furthermore a lot of things are beyond my control.... Not that i don't want to solve the problems but i need replies from others before i can start my work. And others just don't reply or they take their time. In the meantime, i will do what i always do when facing an impending problem.... yes... get stressed up like now.Well, i think there is nothing i can do now... except continue being stressed and hope that others will reply me soon.....
