    Breaking up this girl :(

    Garbage Breaking Up the Girl lyrics 
    In a modern culture 
    My friend you must be careful 
    They've a million ways to kill you 
    In this dangerous world 
    There's an art to growing old 
    Taking chances 
    Magic happens 

    One mistake's all it takes 
    And your life has come undone 
    Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl 
    It's a drag 
    I know it's hard 
    But you're tearing her apart 
    Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl 

    I am afraid that there's much to be afraid of 
    Here today and gone tomorrow 
    Don't end up in the gutter 
    Just like the one before 
    You're just the same 
    Such a loser 

    You've go to let her go because you're breaking up 
    You're breaking up the girl

    dragon in a china shop

    Yes. Today was D day. 

    And guess what, I passed!!!

    Yay! they set me loose on the road XD

    Amazingly nothing happened in the circuit and even the S course that caused me several nightmares was relatively painless

    However I did live up to my JC class nickname.

     
    If its not obvious enough from the above, my nickname was 慢慢. 

    Apparently not only do I eat slowly I drive really slowly too.

    But glad I passed XD Whee~

    there goes my rose tinted glasses

    Saw something truly nerdy today.

     
    Seriously, they should print it on a shirt. And for some weird reason I'd definitely buy it.
     
    The saw something else on PITNB:
     
     
    Oh whee~ Topless Disney princes! I like this one of the Little mermaid prince the best!
     
    Like underwear model >.<

    Showed it to my bro and he actually knew where they came from.

    More here. Check it out, they're awesome.
     
    Used to own the tape and story book. With lobster(?) or something singing "Un-dah da see, un-dah da see~~"
     
    Seeing this now brings back old memories. Ah, lost innocence.

    Some things never last

    The feeling of well being never last. Well, that's life. 

    Enjoy it while you can, other times... Accept the shit with open and capable arms.

    Well its 4 days till driving test and I still can't navigate an S course so I'm pretty much dead. 

    Other than that, this week feels more like recess week than recess week did. 

    Currently reading this book online, by "richard castle" of ABC tv series Castle. I think the idea is really cool :D

    Went grocery shopping with my mom today and bought like 4 bars of choc. Her call, not mine XD

    If all else fails, hopefully the choc will carry me through >.<

    fulfilling

    Ok. This marks a very looong but fulfilling day for me.

    Started off with drving at 8.30 am and I arrived to a scene of "hit and run" XD

    Someone hit my instructor's car and he was quite bad abt it. 逞机敲 the other instructor money to fix his other scratched >.<

    Did ok in the circuit but once I turned out... hmmmm. I think its karma. I nearly knocked some parked car's side mirror and then in the alley behind the coffee shop nearly scratch the side of a lorry. Luckily moving quite slowly.

    The headed to PP to try to get new sandals but she won't let me in cos she "haven't turn on the lights". seriously. Hope she remembered at the end of the days when she doesn't meet the minimum sales target.

    Back to sch for microbio lab, which as usually was quite chaotic but we did finish early, hopefully no weird results.

    Then for the highlight of the day, we got Dr Henry Lee as guest lecturer for forensic science!!!!!

    This totally made it worth the 803pts I spent bidding. Hell, it even makes the 600 buck I pay for this mod worth it XD

    Although he didn't touch on anything that we did already know ( I guess the focus was on application and science ethics and the likes), but it was really enjoyable, with the whole LT bursting into laughter approx once every 15 mins.

    I mean, you gotta love a guy who gives out prizes to guys who correctly give the name of a female undergarment (thong in this case).

    So sad, didnt get the badge nor his signature >.<

    But yeah, was within 10m radius of him. 

    Now I sound like a stalker....

    the worse driving day ever

    Ok. I definitely kept my instructor on the edge of his seat today.

    I have no idea how that happened either. One minute I'm driving, the next I'm making wide left turns, going into other lanes, not braking in time, not stepping on the clutch while breaking, trying to adjust my seat with one foot on the clutch and mounting curbs like no one's business. 

    Omg this is hands down the worst lesson every. Even worse than the total breakdown.

    AHHH!!! *hands on face, home alone style screaming* 

    ("O.O")

    Test in 2 weeks!!!!

    How to pass like that?????

    ~*YN*~ Mortified.

    recess week? What's that?

    I really dunno why I dig my own graves.

    I haven't been home for more than 18 hours stretches at a time for the past 2 weeks and recess week was supposed to be a time for rest.

    Its just one assignment/ report after another. Great just great.

    On a lighter note, it the end of September!! All the nice american shows are returning for new seasons!

    Criminal minds! Bones! CSI!

    Murphy's law

    sometimes life just doesnt go the way you want it to.

    I woke up at 645 today for my 830 am driving lesson, chased after the bus, 
    missed it and resorted to taking other buses and changing 
    bus 4 times to be on time only to find out that my instructor was not there.

    Apparently he double booked the slot or something.

    Argh. I'm like still sleep deprived from the cyclohunt >.<

    Speaking of the cyclohunt I'd have to say its kinda fun cycling at night 
    though I still hate cycling on the roads.

    Now, cycling beside the road is another thing altogether XD

    I think the nicholl highway stretch was kinda 爽. It suddenly dawned on me that 
    Singapore is very well connected... or small.

    Well the only dampener was that if I had known that we were not going to 
    wait for the results and that Geok and jm were like dying near the end, I 
    won't have cheonged the last stretch and just chilled.

    Oh well, things always seem clearer in retrospect.

    Maybe I can do it again when aud comes back. Not on my bike though....

    convert optimist

    Well... too much shit can happen in a day. 

    But according to Newton's 3rd Law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

    So for every shitty event there will be something that makes up for it... may not be equal but enough to be thankful that it did happen.

    It shall now be my resolution to look back and remember something nice that happened to me each day.

    **received yummy cheesecake from JP and finally got something from forensic science XD**

    something to smile about

    Recess week is approaching but it seems like I still have lots of stuff to do/settle.

    If I had talked to you these few days I'd have told you that I feel stressed out. 

    I still am. But maybe I'm getting better at dealing with it XD

    Anyways, met a few ppl from sec sch this week. Amazing how long has passed and how different some of the ppl you know are now.

    Also, ( the smile worthy thing) this two days has be crush galore. Old crushes(thank higher power that I didnt have to talk to him), not so old crushes(endless supply of green shirts), potential crushee (cute XD) all found the correct time to show up...good distraction from stress ;)

    I think we all need a break from studying.

    Not sure if I got it correct but then the various incidents that surround  the top universities in the US is quite unsettling >.<

    Killing inturder with samurai sword?! wth was the sword doing in a  college kid's house anyway....

    Show shows shows

    Ok its finally September and there are lots of new shows and old ones coming back.

    I think Melrose place is worth watching for a while, vampire diaries is ok... but perhaps came out at the wrong time? 

    I miss 10 things already. Pls have another season.

    It nice to have some fictional world to escape to.

    in remembrance

    Although it happened 8 years ago and so far away, it will always be a time when all my problems shrink and practically disappear.

    I hope all the ppl who had lost someone they loved are doing well.

    enough already

    I'm just sick of everyone using CSI as an example of how everything that goes wrong in the world.

    I mean ok I can accept that they diss csi periodically in Forensic science lectures.

    But ecology???!!! Comparing the development of population models to csi is just so inappropriate.

    "Not evey crime is solved in one hour."

    Yes. We all get the idea. We look at criminal investigations through rose tinted lenses on CSI but have they thought about how the module came about in the first place? 

    CSI increased the interest in criminal investigation which then raise the demand for knowledge in this area, which then led to the planning and execution of related modules. 

    In short, no CSI, no gek1542. Simple as that.

    And up till this point I have no idea why the ecology prof felt the need to refer to CSI.

    All that aside I miss Grissom and his fetal pig.

    Lack of sleep

    I think my tendency to procrastinate, sleep late and drink to much coffee is wrecking havoc on my life. 

    Add fresh lab reports to write(totally from scratch! no senior reports to refer) and  feeling ostracised ( and basically a bit pissed cos I can't start to work on it, when I didnt get added into my eco community) into the mix and you get trouble.

    I think yesterday was the absolute low point where I survived purely on coffee and adrenaline. Not a good mix. Was either really hyper or really tired.

    But its ok I fell asleep with a smile after finally completing a fairly decent lab report.

    something's wrong with me

    I always feel irritated when my father falls asleep at the sofa while watching tv in the evening then say that he's not actually sleeping, just resting his eyes and hear us talking. 

    Yesterday the same thing happened to me. Only there was no in between state for me. I just conked for abt 3-5 mins?

    OMG feeling damn old can. 

    The reason for the fatigue?

    First practical for Ecology to labrador park. It was quite weird not know much ppl from the group but ok, I made some friends although it felt weird cos someof them were in my ultra small stats class and I never once talked to them.

    Another thing that was wrong with me was that I totally forgot to talk photos though we were acting like total mountain kids, having discussions sitting on the grass and on bunkers in the middle of a secondary rain forest.

    Argh and it only occured to me when I wke up this morning....

    Hai. Something is really wrong.

    伤感

    Have you ever gotten the feeling that you don't measure up in some way or another?

    I sure have. But I guess that's part of growing up. You can't always get what you want.

    I kept relatively happy this week even though I had to send off Aud and Hiu Yan those were definitely the low points.
     
    The send off
     
    Princess and the madame
     
    Got our "ice" fix. Can't figure out why this cost more than ice kacang.
     
    Convent of avid book readers.
     
    Wahahhahahaha . I think this is funny.
     
    From Hiuyan. Original disney candy!
     
    My olive green converse. I paid $60 for it >.<

    Well I guess we should be thankful for the little things in life that makes us happy, without them life would just be a monotonous broken record.

    Right now, I'm contented.
