Middle-time
I am, currently, in the midst of the most boring day ever imaginable. So I've been using this spare time to keep up with my friends' blogs, especially the ones in S'pore. Being here for more than a year, I've almost forgotten how stressful school life was back in S'pore. For example, *ahem*, after reading Hy's blog about getting into Uni, I realise that I will never empathise with that sort of trepidation, or dread, for that matter.
And you know how people complain about others they just can't stand in school? *ahem* Hy's blog again. (Gomen ne, I just felt rather reflective after reading all your entries. You update damn fast neh...) Well, ridiculously, I kinda miss those ill feelings. Right now, in uni, like I said, my classes are all over the place, and so are the people in my classes, so I never get to know anyone well enough to like/dislike. It's nice to be surrounded by people you know, those who are predictable to you, and you know specifically what you like/dislike about them, their habits, their vices, their virtues.
Beats being alone, right? :)
Well, besides that, I wanted to put some funny pictures up, but too bad I'm not on my laptop. It really eats at me how my blog entries are only ever filled with words, like I can only every communicate in paragraphs.
GGGGRRRRRR.
I used to be able to survive on $50 a week. So this week, I'm trying really hard to restrict myself. But here, for $4, you get 2 sushis, or maybe a cupful of chicken nuggets. In S'pore you get a bowlful of Loh Mee, or chicken rice. So I'm looking forward to seeing what I can eat/not eat on this $50 diet. And mind you, this $50 is only for food, kae. Good thing I'm getting a job soon. :P
Oh yeah. Just before my Professional Writing lecture, when I was lounging around outside waiting for the previous lecture to end, all the students came filtering out of the theatre, AND I SAW THIS JERRY YAN LOOKALIKE. OMG. I feel like cursing myself now that I didn't get a second look. Haha, you could say I was too shy, or you could say he walked away too quickly. Whatever.
Yesterday my uni ended at 1pm, so I had time to tram down to the city (omg, have I ranted on about why I hate trams cuz they're so slow and so crowded during peak times??? I wanted to get off halfway, see, BUT THERE WERE JUST DAMN TOO MANY PEOPLE AROUND ME.) I got off at QV and went off to Breadtop to get my cheesecake (IT WAS SO LOVELY!!! It's got to last me for four days' breakfasts) and my chocolate mousse. That chocolate mousse was really good! I would buy it more often, except that it's like $2.50 per cup. :S So I'll consider it an indulgence food.
Oh oh oh.
I arrived at uni super early today, so I got pissed at myself. I seem to be having too much free time. You know how every semester your timetable changes and every week, there's always this one day you'll hate? Well, this semester, it'll be thursdays I'm hating, so people, please don't give me a hard time on thursdays. :D Last sem I remember I hated wednesdays. Somehow or other it always has to be one of the days in the middle.
Plus I have too many vintage tees. After my vintage-spree during the hols, I've counted all the tees in my wardrobe and now I'm starting to feel horribly guilty (not verily, but sufficiently) about all those tees. You know how people have shoe fetishes? And collect hundreds of shoes? And only wear each pair like once or twice??? I think I have a vintage tee fetish.
WOW. FETISHES! I have a sudden inspiration about what to write about for my magazine profile assignment. :P
I wonder if pollinating flowers for my uncle will be tedious work. I mean, so what if it's $15 an hour if you break your spinal cord and forearms in the process??? I seriously hope it works out though. I need that money for my allowance, since what's left of the money in my bank account I have to use for uni fees. WHY DOES THIS WORLD REVOLVE AROUND MONEY???
I read an article this morning about how Nicole Kidman earns $35 million a year, and The Wiggles earn about $50 million. Heck, if only I write to Nicole to ask for a donation of just $1 million dollars, our money woes will be over, no? That money can be used to pay me and my brothers' uni fees, and maybe even pay off our house loan, and then some for my mom's medical fees. I mean, it'd be such a waste if she used that money to buy a Porsche instead. >.<
Ooops. It's almost Torts Lecture time. God, I don't have any friends in THAT lecture either. SOMEONE SAVE ME.
...is what I said. Savvy?
