As I was on my way to school today, I chanced upon a stack of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' VCDs discarded next to the bin at my void deck. Silently, I mourned the loss of someone's childhood.

Mozerella Firefox!

I am so stuffed with vegetable curry that I have trouble moving. It's actually time for me to resume studying for Phonetics and Phonology now, but I'm too busy Facebook-ing. Tralala.

No shit!
Suspend your disbelief, folks! Pearlyn Ong has decided that she will learn to drive after her finals for this semester are over. Pearlyn Ong, who can get lost in Orchard Road. Yeaaap. Contrary to popular belief *rolls eyes*, I AM able to see over the steering wheel. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah-zip-a-dee-day.

Time is money and money is time.

'

Whoever said that probably wasn't talking about cabs, but I think it's very applicable to those who are all too familiar (read: lazy) with taxis in Singapore. To save time, you pay more money so that you can get to your destination faster. If you want to save money, be prepared to spend that extra hour on the train or bus – which can be very, VERY unbearable – especially when you have to stand the entire time. After spending a hundred over dollars on cab fares last week, I am feeling the pinch and the big gaping hole in my wallet. Sigh, sigh, sigh.

With a skip and a 'ho' and a 'hey nonny no'! HEY! (I threw in the last word just for hyou. Hyes, hyou!)

Random sentences: I skipped classes today. Ban mian makes me happier. I feel like I've aged tremendously in the space of one day. It doesn't always take monumental events to impact and shape someone's character, although the alterations are often drastic with shocking results. Sometimes, it's the accumulation of little acts and statements that deaden and darken your soul like a treacherous poison. I know this well; I know the little pinpricks of pain as you slowly chisel away at my heart with more spite than mercy. But then, I'll just smooth my hands over the cracks and tell myself it's okay.

People are just different this way.

I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

I'm finally done with all my projects, presentations and miscellaneous submissions! That leaves me with just one more phonetics test on Friday before I can finally devote all my time to studying for the finals. The past few weeks have been horrible for my mental and physical states, so I took the liberty to shamelessly burn the last weekend watching Season 4 of Family Guy. Now that I'm done drawing up a revision timetable, I really hope I can do well. I need to, and I must.

It seems so hard for me to really smile, be happy and relaxed these days, despite much conscious effort to not let the weariness get the better of me –

Oh gosh! Digression! My laptop just made this funny squeaky robotic sound to notify me about something regarding the 'sticky keys' option. 'Tis an amusement indeed! Hahaha. And yes, it's new to me; my laptop speakers are usually muted or tuned down.

Anyway. Weariness. Gah. Oh a brighter note, my Dad is back from Pakistan and all has been well in the family so far. May peace reign thus in the kingdom, hurhur.


 

I am me, I have always been me and I will believe in myself. And you.
