oh man has anyone tried studying the night through? in a freezing room, a cup of coffee beside you, your books and papers spread all over the table, the artificial white lights giving a sense of timelessness while the whole world sleeps on outside, feeling more and more awake as time goes by, a few friends for company, the whirring of the air-conditioner, and other than that... total silence.
feeling your brain getting saturated, occasional toilet breaks in the cubicle with the flickering lights, the laptop and wireless being the only connection to the outside world, all culminating in breakfast at 5 a.m.
exiting the timeless vaccum, feeling once more the familiar warmth and darkness of the real world. darkness in every room. a solidary light shining through a window. another sleepless soul?
hot cup noodles and iced green tea. bringing you back to reality. ghost stories over breakfast. picking up the morning paper on the way back 'home'. getting ready for bed as the first morning rays shine in through the windows... and... a lecture in 2 hours' time.
YAY!!!!!!!!!! the dreaded presentation's finally over!!!!!!! and it wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. and to my 'teammates' grace and guojian: you guys absolutely ROCK! the past 2 wks have been great. the endless pigging out, slacking around, moments of wild laughter and craziness... you all made legal writing so much more bearable. who else would have been thinking of ways to seduce Eleanor and Ranald just 5 minutes before the presentation?! here's to loads more fun and insanity in the year to come!
as you said, so much has already happened between the two of us, but we'll start the story here. just realised that you've been writing the story of us on your blog, and essentially, in a little book, i have all along been writing down the story of us too, to give to you someday. really wonder how our story will develop over time. right now, our story is still an open book for both of us to write in, to fill up with beautiful memories, love, happiness and laughter, and i hope that we will do it. there will inevitably be moments of sadness and tears as well, but i know that when i look back on our story, the hurt and pain will be lost among all the joy. every day, i thank fate, or God, or whoever it was, for bringing you into my life, and hope that he meant you to stay. it won't be an easy journey, i know that, but i have faith in us. may our story last for ever and ever.
was so glad ru called just now when i was in the library! and we had a really good talk... that is... until my phone's battery died. thanks so much ru dear.. for taking time off your busy smu schedule to call! haha.. but don't you realise that i had to take time off my own busy schedule as well to answer your call? =)
on another note.. just heard from ru that wiwid (her maid, who shares my birthday, whom i like very much, and whom i like to think is my VERY GOOD FRIEND and who cooks fantabulous dishes) will be leaving at the end of nov. for good. when i heard the news i just spontaneously blurted out "but i'll miss her!" and it's true.. i WILL miss her a great deal, despite the fact that i don't see her all that much (only when i visit ru.. which is like once in 5 months? sometimes even less frequently) and that we don't really have all that much to talk about. but still... sometimes it's only when people are leaving that you suddenly realise how much you'll miss them... even though they haven't been a big part of your life and probably never will be.
on yet another note.. i have to finish my work quickly and then sleep beckons. for i must be at the central library tomorrow by 8. it's do or die. at stake : a seoul garden lunch buffet for 2. loser has to treat. oh mannnnnn.... rest assured i'll check that my alarm's working lots and lots of times before i can sleep in peace

yesh... last monday was quizzes galore day. was checking out some other people's blogs when i felt this irresistible urge to take every single quiz i came across. and so i did. it's a great way to fill up your blog when you have nothing to write and when -surprisingly- all the quizzes say nice stuff about you. okay maybe except the 'hell' one. but i wish i'd been banished to a higher level though... bet everyone does.
went home for a super long weekend and just realised how wonderful home is! mum chasing after me with great home-cooked food and strawberry-banana milkshakes... endless supply of icecream... dad letting me drive his car everywhere and not scolding despite me almost getting into numerous accidents and my horrible parking.. blah blah.. being able to fool around endlessly with my brother.. both of us cracking lame jokes and laughing with abandon. this is what i call -pure unadulterated joy and happiness...
guess that's why i suddenly felt lonely after returning to hall a few hours ago. huiling was in her studio.. most of the hall people weren't around and most importantly he felt miles away from me coz he went swimming.. so i just kinda moped around for a little while. but huiling came back for tea and a little chat and i subsequently came online and talked to some peeps. i feel MUCH better now. but.. as i told candice.. it scares me to realise that i've suddenly become so dependent on people...
and talking about people and friends and all that... i'm finally going to succumb to temptation... and join friendster! argh.. simply can't bear everyone going 'are you on friendster'? 'why not?' 'but it's really cool!' arrrrrrrrrrrrgh... ok.. so maybe it isn't entirely due to peer pressure. maybe i do think it might be fun. and interesting. let me go check it out...

You love to take care of others and people love being around you because you make them feel appreciated. You are very sweet and soft-spoken. You are also a romantic and consider yourself an excellent matchmaker, so you tend to be a bit nosy. But everyone still considers you the sweetest person they know.
You are Peace.
You are at peace with your self and the world
around you. You have balance in your life and
exude tranquility from every pore of your body.
People are constantly asking you "what is
your secret?"
