murphy's really a smart ass. what can go wrong really does go wrong!

it was soooo frustrating during driving lesson todayyyy. :( whatever i could hit, i hit. whatever was within striking distance, i strike! :(:(:( poles, kerb, and that freaking motorcycle that just mysteriously appeared on the right. (ok, i didn't exactlyyy strike/hit the last one or right now i'll be at the police station being fined.) darn i think i managed to accumulate over 30 points with absolute ease. what the helll happened to my driving??? i came home feeling so depressed i kept staring at my little green driving booklet and wondering why nothing went in my favour today.

sigh but then there's always sudoku!!!! i can't believe 2 puzzles actually kept me busy for a whole evening. ok i geddit, i'm slow at this sudoku thinggg, but it's actually quite interesting huh? all the little numbers jumbled up together to confuse me.

oh yes and today's nomination dayy. singapore has just gotten a whole lot more exciting. but i better not expound on the proceedings lest i get thrown behind bars. ahhaha.

i got locked out of my house, so i went over to my neighbour's and attempted to climb over the fence in the back garden, promptly tripped over the fence and landed on the ground on my butt. so much for being graceful at the start of my last teenage year. :(

yes. it was my birthday yesterday!!!! hooray!! :)

a humungonormous thank you to shihui who tried to organise a surprise birthday lunch for me! i was realllly happy! all of us crammed into that tiny little pantry together with all the nurses and doctors, it was exciting! and thanks to prof for letting the cat out of the bag prematurely. hahah u should have seen the look on shi hui's face when i told her i already knew. hilarious! when silly erin called me, of all people, to speak to shi hui, i already kinda guessed what they were planning... but still. THANK YOU! :) i got shoot! and lilies! smelt wonderful.. but they kinda wilted after a while. they're now sitting pretty in a bottle of water, basking under the sunlight.. or whatever sunlight that's available in this rainnnn.

yesterday was also ben&jerry's free cone day!!!!! omg chunky monkey was super nice! esp the chocolate bits and the banana thingys, which are essentially what chunky monkey is. hmmm. i think i walked along that same corridor in suntec gazillions of times yesterday, meeting diff pple. hhahaa.

dinner was jap buffet at kuishin-bo. wahh i was quite full after ice cream and all, but i tried my best. stuffed myself silly. i felt soooo bloated after that. in the restaurant, they were chanting some crazy tune and ringing those irritating bells for some promotion items. the song was so stupid i pitied the person who was made to sing it every half an hour at the restaurant.

just came home from nus interviews. thankfully i beat the rain! :)

i have been reading random blogs since morning and i find that i have a somewhat worrying inclination to blogs that are either filled with sarcasm or deadpan humour. the kind that will get most people rolling their eyes at the sheer boldness of the decision to publicly post such corny-ness. the same kind that will get me laughing so hard and listing it under my favourites tab. haha.

anyhow, macroscaling thing a bit, pondering about my said inclination towards certain blogs, i was led to think whether it is a generalised scenario of my own daily preferances. do i like people and things that can offer such cheesy-ness? do i choose deadpan over slapstick humour?

mind you, it isn't easy thinking of all the puns and to be sarcastic. it requires a cartain level of intellect. to acquire such a standard of writing takes time to master. i really do admire those who have gotten it down pat.

back to the question: i think i do prefer british humour to the american. thankfully i'm heading in the right direction considering my future plans.

--------------------------------------------

much of today has been a bore. but a refreshing bore it has been.

no work. no driving. no people.

just me.

can u just hear the silence. the beautiful sound of the fan whirring, the water trickling, the tapping of my feet. you never really get to hear and treasure these silent sounds.

my computer has decided to go on a hiatus indefinitely so i'll only be updating whenever i get the chance to. not like i update very often but still... play along here. :)

gor gerald came back on sat in his nice new pilot's uniform with the nice new shiny 'wings', the type u can get at beach road for 3 dollars. the life of a pilot is actually very very interesting! so much hidden politics in the cockpit and amongst flight crew, it makes a good drama. i'm surprised there's no good flight crew dramas already on air when people get marooned on an island and that constitutes an exciting show.

RESIGNED from sushi tei. finally. i think i was getting tired of the repetition. it's really a very boring job other than from the occasional interesting moments from my colleagues. i think i chose the wrong place to become a waitress at. it's really too busy! both tiring and you don't get much chance at talking with your fellow waiters/waitresses. so it's basically u and yourself. lilian, sherry and mandy visited me on tuesday! just in time too! :) hahha got scolded for hugging lilian. hanky panky. utterly ridiculous!

sigh and i'm almost done with driving! i think i will miss the lessons cos they're so fun! :(

and RJC BEAT HC 8-7! yeahaha!! plus shi hui got her driving license so we got to be her FIRST passengers from nuh to rj for the match. i got totally roasted in the 2 hours i was sitting in the hot hot sun. i literally watched myself turn black! especially my legs. and you could see the triangular pattern on my feet cos of my slippers. ew. but the match was fantastic! there were a few good hits and the hc team looked so scary, esp the catcher. but who cares! we won! :) and that's the onluy thing that matters now. oooh we're on the way to becoming CHAMPIONS!

just took a nice nap! :) ahhh. i love it when there's a free day amidst a busy week! gives me the chance to REST for once. gahh

haha today's driving was the most fun so far! :) i have a feeling the instructor's only a few year's older than me. he has trouble teaching the slighter OLDER students who think they know more cos they're older and more experienced than him. HAHA. i like car 55. it's so easy to drive that for once, today i felt like i'd already passed cos almost nothing went wrong! normally i would have wobbled/jerked/stalled/jolted by the time i hit the road but today, Nothing! i think i have an afinity with car 55! it's smooth. hahah.. plus for the first time, i saw the famed pda of ssdc instructors! normally, all my instructors will be so scared to show off their brand new, shiny, top of the range pdas that they rarely take it out of their pocket throughout the whole 100 minutes, and will wait for me to leave the car before they carefully remove it to key in stuff, unlike today's nice guy who showed me how to use it man! damn cool! i don't even see the need for them to have a pda since they all convene at that holding area before and after each lesson where i'm sure they have enough time to record down whatever they normally would have recorded into their pda! but then again, that's not the point is it? owell i think i'm not making any sense whatsoever. lalala

i went to watch russian dolls after. it's kinda a weird show till then end when everything seemed to somehow fit together. well, relationships are meant to be like russian dolls, u never know which one will be the smallest doll, so you have to keep opening each layer ie, accepting each relationship and treat the whole progression as a journey towards finding the final smallest one. you just have to discover your own russian doll. it's really a refreshing concept though. like lil said, normal films will feature one guy and one girl and you KNOW that they're going to get together by the end of the film. but in this film, it's one guy and many many girls, which track his progression to reach the smallest doll and put an end to his experimentation. i know it's bad to two-time or even three-time somebody, but this show puts it into a whole new different light. not than i'm condoning it though. haha.

i've been real busy nowadays. with things that seem meaningless to me. i mean, i have all this time in the world right now, and i'm spending it working and not having the time of my life. ok, i guess working is kind of a new experience that everyone should try, not just for the money but for the responsibility, the 'initiation' to the real world, but somehow, i feel like i'm only working cos i have nothing else to do and everyone else i know is! quite sad right? i'm a conformist. hahha.

sushi tei is actually getting quite nice after 3 weeks of major slogging. the pple there are very open, and even the supervisor's really funny! we get to steal food off the belt ever so often and squat down behind the bench to steal a bite with some colleague covering for you. it's exciting! and the comaraderie's surprising actually! i didn't really expect that from a JOB. but maybe it's cos everyone working there's so young! can u believe i'm one of the OLDEST there? amazing right? all the young kids getting ready for poly are working. and they are the ones who lighten up the place! i'l be quite sad if they all quit in 2/3 weeks time to go poly! work part time like me!!

i think i'm quite lucky. i seem to have sailed smoothly through this sea of 'university admissions'. i've gotten what i've really wanted, and have quite a few reserve choices too. it kinda makes me feel guilty though, like i've stolen some other person's place in what may have been his/her dream school. well i can't do anything now, but sorry to the girl/boy whose place i've taken. now all i need is the loke cheng kim scholarship to make everything nice and rosy. :)
