Nothing New.

It was nothing new, just another piece of work to look through. Too emotional for my liking, I thought, but in certain ways I found it true. That is, supposing I needed to rant in depression. Supposing I felt the need to inscribe a part of my life with philosophy.

Over and over again my eyes darted line by line.

Then that unexpected name popped up.

It's been years, I realised. It has got to be something new. What if it isn't? That would feed to the uneasiness...

But I think too much sometimes, so brush it off I will.

It's nothing new, anyway.



On another note:
Midnight oil lamps burn no more. No more dragging ourselves around like zombies, or looking like pandas.


Oh wait, exams are on the way...

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;
and I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
and gently licks my hands;
then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that.

ironic fate.

What do you call this? Fate? Irony?

Or can I lump this together and call it ironic fate?

I don't think I can write much on this.

To Gonzo, Lucky and my dear Ting-ting,

All from separate families and yet still considered family.

Rest in peace.

I'll miss you.

*curls up at a corner*

Long but not windy.

We sat for IELTS today. It was alright, although I had to calm myself hours before the speaking test.

Sitting for the exam reminded me of the other English tests I took, the last being CPE. How long has it been? Gosh! It's been almost a year! The exam itself was scary (then again, all are to me).

That aside, I miss the classes. You probably think me nuts, having that thought of going back to class. Yet it felt so stress-free each time I attend them, a two hours worth of not thinking about the work that lie waiting at home.

The road was long, no doubt, taking years to complete. But it was never windy.

My Bad Nights are Ahead of Me....

Even though I'm officially off duty for yearbook pre-sales, my schedule for the final two weeks of college seems as tight and heavy as ever. I foresee a need to replenish my stock of 'midnight oil' - sleepless nights are ahead of me.

I guess that's what it is to be now. Mocks to sit for, the final time we get to edit our Literature drafts, submitting them in, enjoy just a minute of freedom, and back to mocks. Then oh! The real thing comes and perhaps that is when my nerves will be pushed to the limit.

So will my eyes.

Anyway, apart from that, I believe that my online accounts will have to remain dormant for the time being. It's all going at a pace so fast now, and I better speed up.

Now to start on my sleepless days and nights.

Cupcake Fetish

Working my fingers on my own projects is more exciting than anything. Why?

One, it's like therapy. A great stress reliever!
Two, I get to buy all those lovely little materials and have a reason for it.
Three, it keeps me satisfied. *grins*

Happy 19th Birthday, Rachel! For the past few weeks you were craving designer cupcakes. So since I couldn't find any of the sort, and prefering not to give you charred lumps of dough from what could well be my pioneer attempt at baking cupcakes, I hope you enjoy the 'collection'!

'Forming' the dough and 'baking' them were the easy steps. It was the designer logos that I had to crack my head open for. Next time we'll have the real thing!!

Plus, I now know that the logo for Coach and Chanel are different despite the same alphabet they flaunt so vehemently.

A & W = Aww...

It's about time syllabus end and friends are released from their colleges or so, even though mine would be a long time away, in June. I haven't seen Sue Hui and Mei Yee for quite some time now, so I'm glad we went out! The others couldn't make it, but there'll be another day, I'm sure.

The three of us, plus the burger at the side which would spark an inside joke about "somebody"'s head.

Well, this wasn't from A & W but we had some desserts prior to that.

Mei Yee has better photos for this one, so maybe I'll post them up later.


They said this reminds them of a sauna. Nice?



Positioned to reflect my sentiments.


And same goes.

Diverting

Just a while ago I was submerged in Word Documents, papers, pdf files and websites. I'm going to venture off to different thoughts I had today to clear the clutter out. My family and I had Canadian pizzas for dinner! The side dishes aren't that nice, but I like the crust of our entree - not the same as other pizza fast food outlets.


It's Jennifer's birthday today! Happy 19th birthday! I don't recall seeing you wear a dress and definitely not a hat, but I hope your dreams can pick up as high as the wind can lift it! Maybe it should be a graduation cap, but I like the white hat. This took me an hour while watching a tv series.


And last but not least, my senior dog seems to be getting better. But her age would keep catching up. I really hope things just go back upwards and stays that way.


Until the next time. Turrah!
