YFunky Monkey
So I went online today, fully intending to look up Philip Larkin and try to improve my poetry reading skills since, according to Burge, they suck. Ended up, however, checking my mail, replying to stray, previously-consigned-to-the-inbox-forever frends' emails, and checking out urbanoutfitters' sales items again. I never buy these things, I just look and look and look and waste time but hey, it makes me happy :) (Pretty dress, please come to Singapore and be more affordable!)
Then went surfing around, visiting other people's blogs, all the while eating the bak kua my grandma heated up for me and sniffling into the white mucous-filled tissue currently sitting on my desk (Yes, I'm sick again).
What a nice life.
(I'm making a resolution today: Today I'm going to have fun :))

Ysome magic out there
Legs can't move. This is the fifth straight day I've had dance and Ailene made us do the ballet item 4 times in a row today! Okay, so I cheated and didn't do the pirouttes properly, but it was still super tiring cos before that we'd done Zhi's dance like 7 times in a row! And tomorrow there's practice again. Getting pretty sick of Zhi's dance even though it's really really nice to dance in (not sure if it looks nice to watch but that's not my concern right now). I wish we should get the audi stage to practice in because that's the real problem. We're pretty coordinated and we all know the steps pretty well, it's just that the audi stage is wayyy too long and slippery so it would be good if we could get used to it. Problem is, like everything else in Hwa Chong, opening up the audi requires a lot of permission-seeking and regulations, so I don't think we'll be able to get it until the full dress on Wednesday. Ah well.
Yay, we get to see our costumes next week. Quite excited. Found Lamb's site, which contains free downloads, so I downloaded Gabriel, the song to Zhi's dance. Listening to their other tracks, which aren't as nice as Gabriel, but are just as chill out.
Today I'm going to finish up my history essay. Yay! After getting that out of the way I can do more mugger-ish stuff! I haven't been mugging much over the past few days though, cos they've been filled with preparations for dance night. It's nice not having to mug and being able to dance. Haha.
Oh, and since I'm putting in so much hard work, I might as well make a plug for it:
Touch, Hwa Chong's first Dance Night is going to be held on Saturday, 20th May 2006 in the Hwa Chong audi, 2 pm and 7:30 pm. Tickets are going for $8 and $9 respectively, and the evening tickets are selling out quickly so if you're interested please contact me!
My brother's going to kill me for adding new stuff onto his iTunes playlist. Yay, I could stay here all day just listening to songs. Now I know why my brother doesn't study.

YKeep Walking
Can't sleep again. It's been a while since the last one. Glad tomorrow's a holiday.
Just checked my mail, went through Interact stuff so I won't have to do them tomorrow. Planning on getting up early to run because I haven't been able to lately and have been feeling horrible as a result. It's come to a point where it's not just about maintaining my weight or whatever--when I don't run I actually don't feel good about myself, I feel all yucky inside, like there are toxins swimming around with the fats that are gradually accumulating with every grease-laden bite of food I take. I wouldn't like to take a look inside my stomach when I'm eating.
Have had to run alone lately because my favourite guy running partner is lazy and has lousy knees, and my favourite girl running partner has been training for squash national finals against RJ, so she's been doing more than her fair share of running already. I've gotten so used to running with someone else that it now takes more energy to get myself off my butt and run alone. Today I ran around Dan's estate without him and it took me about an hour to stop procrastinating. And then when I started running I got myself lost and ended up in River Valley Road and had to ask for directions to get back.
Went out with Dan after that to this Thai restaurant near sixth avenue for dinner and after dinner I bumped into Joe the video guy while browsing through videos. Finding myself at a loss to make small talk, I called Dan over and listened while they both talked. Joe asked about Dan's plans after army and upon discovering that he wanted to go overseas, started talking about how great Canada (where he studied) was.
As usual, I kept quiet most of the time, but what struck me was the sudden coldness that rushed over me when Dan stated that he wanted to go overseas. Why is he so eager to go? And why am I not? Things change when you go overseas, and I don't like change. I don't see how he can feel so excited over it--if I were given a choice I would probably only go because everyone says it's a good experience and I know that it will be, like how going to Hwa Chong is a good experience. But as for my feelings--they're mixed, as usual, and I know it's because I'm scared.
Have been wondering if I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing in Hwa Chong. Many times I feel that I've failed in honouring God because of all the times I give in to the feeling of dread and dislike of the school. And I don't know if it's just me making things up or if it really is.
Take My hand and walk where I lead
Keep your eyes on Me alone
Don't you say "why were the old times better?"
Just because you're scared of the unknown.
Take My hand and walk where I lead
You will never be alone
Faith is to be sure of what you hope for
And the evidence of things unseen
Take My hand and walk.
