Uh-oh

Sigh. I may not get to ski after all cos it's not realy snowing in Ithaca yet. *disappointed* Well, let's hope things will be different as the weeks pass. Only 2 and half weeks more!

250 MB!

Woah. Yahoo! Mail has increased their email storage capacity from a measly 4MB(?) then to 100MB and NOW, 250MB! Heehee. Way to go...now I don't ever have to delete anymore big-attachment mails. Heh. And now I've only used a tiny 2% out of the 250MB. Heehee.

On other stuff, I'm physically tired from running around town, buying winter stuff for myself - gloves, cap, thick socks. I still need a few more long-sleeved shirts.

Anyhow, I'm so excited! Wheee~

Reasons why I love Mac

1. Gorgeous looking
2. Crash-proof
3. Virus/worm/Trojan/bacteria proof
4. So damn easy to use
5. Bill Amend's favourite! Heehee. See here.

Narrow Daylight
Diana Krall

Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?

I walked through halls of reputation
Among the infamous too
As the camera clings to the common thread
Beyond all vanity
Into a gaze to shoot you through

Is the kindness we count upon
Hidden in everyone?

I stepped out in a sunlit grove
Although deep down I wished it would rain
Washing away all the sadness and tears
That will never fall so heavily again

Is the kindness we count upon
Hidden in everyone

I stood there in the salt spray air
Felt wind sweeping over my face
I ran up through the rocks to the old
wooden cross
It's a place where I can find some peace

Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?

Negativities

I'm feeling awfully sick and tired now. Physically not well and having a runny nose right now. Physically tired cos I was out for the past 5 hours jostling with the crowd at some IT fair. Mentally tired and wishing that my exams have truly ended. I have totally lost the mood to study and there's only ONE more paper left! Help.

And I am disappointed that I couldn't get a Logitech webcam. Why are they having IT fair but do not even carry stuff that are compatible with Mac? I'm also disappointed that I didn't get the mp3 player I want...

Argh. Maybe I should think this way - not buying these stuff will leave me with more money to spend in US. Oh whee.

Now, I really must get back to work.

Diggingdigging

Incidentally I clicked on the link which led me to a post almost a year old and here is what it says:

"List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.
Drive without parents' supervision, get myself a new hairdo, save more than 1000 dollars, remove dad's really old books from my shelves, get a new pair of sneakers."

Let's see what I managed to do.
1. I STILL can't drive without parents' supervision. Or maybe I did. I drove under his supervision. So does that count actually?
2. I got myself a new hairdo! Never had this hairstyle even though there were times when it looks like something I had before...
3. Yes. I DID save up to more than 1000 dollars!
4. Dad's books are still there. Immovable by his willpower, I tell you.
5. Yesh. Adidas Climacool! Not exactly new by now cos I got it before CNY this year.

Heh.

Another paper tomorrow and I am so lazy now.

Back For Good?

Haha. Maybe, maybe not. :P

Am relaxing now. Just had the most mentally draining exams in uni so far. The worst was A Levels. Haha.

Anyway, I shall go amuse myself now. Bye~

To my well-wishers, thank you! I was indeed quite lucky today. :)

I'm back. For a while.

I'll be having two very demanding papers tomorrow. And that will be the end of half the exams. Need luck. Loads and loads of them.

Silence

My blog is no longer a place where I can safely do my ranting and bitching. I shall remain silent until there is a need to break out of it. Till then, all the best for everything you do.

I have this insane neighbour that I would really like to slap.

Yes. I really want to go over now, knock down her door and give her a slap for playing music so loudly since 7am. Gosh. It's SEVEN in the morning! Some people, like me, still need sleep especially if we have kept a late night.

Despite approaching her twice (first time at 4am and the second, 1am) she still pounds the cluster with her excessively loud music. Sometimes, it could be heard all the way down in level one. And mind you, I stay in level FIVE.

Already I am having trouble sleeping and there she goes, exacerbating the problem. Geeez.

Get Fuzzy!!

Trivial concerns

I'm going bonkersssssss...*boingboingboing* I need to get down to work! And I need to get the flabs outta my tummy! Eeeeek.

I am the luckiest girl in the world!

To be loved and to love freely. I feel so loved. :)

Hot hot weather

As I'm typing this, raindrops are pattering lightly on my window. But so what. It's still hot and humid. Urgh.

I'm updating. Ladeeeeda...

Another BIG headache gone!

Went out to Arab St today to look at fabrics. Really pretty stuff they have there! All the bridal satin, French laces, nettings, organzas, chiffons, crepe etc etc are so enticing! Lovely! Saw a lady trying on different types of whites and ivories. Methinks she's getting married soon! Haha.

Anyway, everything is settled! Yipee. Now we'll just have to look forward to January to see the gowns.

I'm satisfied.

And it didn't rain today. So weird.

Another excerpt

A short snippet from Tom Stoppard's Dalliance (he also wrote On The Razzle and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead).

Christine No, I don't. It isn't nice being told nothing - don't you see? I want to know everything about you. Every little thing. It isn't enough to have you for an hour on the occasional evening - and then you are off again and I'm no wiser. And the whole night to get through and another day, hour after hour, still knowing nothing. It makes me unhappy.

Fritz But why should it?

Christine Well, it's because I miss you so much and you might as well not be living in the same city - you could be somewhere else entirely! You seem so far away it's as if you're dead!

Thank YOU!

Oh, need to thank a special person for helping me to change the link to Wee Lee's blog.

THANK YOU!

And Wee Lee, look up, UP yeah! You'll be fine. Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!

Productivity!

Managed to finish a huge topic + small topic today for Pharm Law. *satisfied* I am on my way to Mugger-dom! Wheee~ Am really anxious about the exams this time round cos I've been underperforming (ie, getting mediocre grades) for most of my tests. And it's really freaky because it's so easy to slide from A grades to just Bs. Hurhur. Now I totally contradict myself (ref to a few posts earlier).

Was waiting for the bus this evening to go for a lecture. The heavy rain reminded me of my childhood. At the age of 3, I was looking longingly out of my nanny's window and desiring to go for classes like the other kindergarten kids. I really couldn't wait to carry a bag filled with books and stationery. I thought going to school was fun even though I had no inkling what people actually do there. And unlike many other kids, I did not cry on my first day of school, instead, I remember feeling quite uneasy having my parents hovering around. But they got the message, and they left me to my devices from 2nd day onwards. Haha.

Just like before, I have this deep deep desire to go overseas (Singapore doesn't count. It's like going to Penang) and live there. But somehow, I just cannot fulfil this dream of mine! Circumstance just doesn't allow...

Well, we'll see how.

This semester is coming to an end. 2 more weeks to exams, another 2 more weeks to the end, and then 3 more weeks before I fly off to US. I just wish time would slow down just a little...I want to enjoy my holiday...

Teehee. Poor Jason.

Thoughts

I'm starting to lose respect for X, a person I used to have high regards for. This stems from something X did to another person, out of selfishness. Now that I'm dealing with X, I am afraid that X will do the same thing to me, ie cheating my full trust. I still want to believe that X has the conscience to be honest with his/her friends. And I still do.

On second thoughts, maybe I'm being paranoid.

Who will be the President of USA? Grar. I don't follow politics so I don't know who I want to support. But anyway, even if I want to support Bush/Kerry, it won't make a difference. And it doesn't make a difference either, if one of them wins cos they have no regards for other human beings on the same earth.

Well, I guess it's up to those narrow-minded, self-centred and egocentric Americans to decide who their leader is going to be. And I hope they are mindful of that their choice will affect the whole world. Oh wait, they wouldn't be mindful, would they? Since they have the narrowest minds in the world. That's so ironic.

*moan*

AAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH. Exams in 20 days!

Freak freak. I'm starting to freak out now. Shucks. Reality only hit me today. Which I guess is better late than never. Shucks. I have only 20 days to prepare for my exams! Argh.

I wish I live in a bubble. Nobody can touch me or talk to me or bother me any way. I just wanna be alone with myself and my notes. Bah.

Ever thought of this: Jazz is like the hand of your lover, slowly caressing your back up to the neck, then ending with a deep, passionate interlocking of lips.

Yum.
