Cloister.

After spending a seclusionary period of five days at home, alone, in seclusion, I am ready for bigger things in life. Bring it on.

Yesterday saw me having lunch with Putri and Samuel. Aah. The fine art of three individuals having salads whilst conversing upon the more intricate factual details of nature. Gay, but so, so cool. On a serious note, I do miss having actual conversations with people who are able to, umm, get my drift. Get my drift?

Well anyway, after that, I met up with some of the dramanites for dinner at KFC. We ended up spending the night around Marina; talking bout anything under the moon (really there was a moon). Now, I long for more drama sessions.

I am still looking for that perfect book to read during my stay at Dad's. I think I've read every single book written by (the recently late) Michael Crichton there is, and I am quite proud of that. I know Dad has a collection of Friedrich Nietzsche works in his study, although i'm not quite in the mood for Nietzsche now. Pity I can't understand German. Or Nihilism, for that matter (hahaha, that was a joke).

Oh well, let me see who's online now. I still don't know what to cook for lunch. Maxxie if you're reading, remember...Seoul Garden. That is all.

Time bomb.

The past few days went by in a whizz of printing shops, art friends (and enemies), and gay humor.

It is officially the week of reckoning. I think I remembered something like this happening about 5 months ago, the last week of Semester 1. How fast time flies, don't you agree? Now, the VCer's are at it again. But this time, it's on a much bigger scale. It's a whole new ball game for us. May the Gods bless us with magical patience powder, amen.

Now, i've been in a really subjective mood these past couple of days. Whatever feels right does and whatever seems nasty reeks. That sentence was not meant to be understood by anyone so don't tryta' guess (everything I say, really). As of now I notice that our circle of friends is getting bigger and better. I really am new to this kind of peer bonding, so it feels a bit overwhelming for me to really act part of such a group, if anyone gets what I mean. But I can't deny that it's fun.

Let's sidetrack a bit here. I really am sorry that i've broken so many promises, and have irked so many people the past few days. It's difficult for me to explain to different people why certain things happened the way they did, so I really feel at a lost for words whenever I try to redeem myself when faced with their scorn. But to those who understand, much respectful thanks.

I don't think I further need to elaborate on the current state of my school work as it is really quite obvious.

Okay, here's what's done:

Subrina's YOLO poster. We spent the whole Sunday evening printing our stuff at SunSHINE plaza (thanks) and today was the deadline. A great relief.

Now wait a minute, I think that's all that's completed (gasp!).

Okay, what else about school. I feel that the assignments this term have gotten much more interesting (think last Thursday's Botanical Garden's trip) but obviously they come with scary deadlines. Water and poster colour paintings are fun to do but I really hate cleaning up the mess they create. Thank god mum is not at home to see the 'masterpiece' i've done on her parquette.

I also feel atrociously lazy when it comes to revising theory stuff (what have I become), it's terrible. We have an Ergonomics test tomorrow and don't forget that final Design History exam next week. Well, let's take it week by week.

It's getting crazier by the minute.

Okay, I should stop typing now, lest I get carried away and write stuff thats too weird for other people's comprehension. Now to get started on that Egonomics revision.

Friends, all the best for the 'last week of hell'.

I. C. N. S.

Funny phrases from a Typography lesson...

- "Does anyone have extra eyes (I's) to give me ?"

- "Eh, Ama, your ass (S) damn nice, can I cut and use for my hair?"

- "I need an 'X' !!!"

reply:

"Sorry, were not allowed to bring weapons to school."

- "AAH, my ass (S) too big siaa!

reply:

"Don't show off lah."

The stress takes a toll I guess.

Snigger dosage.

It is wonderful and intruiging yet so obviously natural why humans (and primates and rats and dogs, thanks for the correction, Maxxie boi) are the only animal species capable of laughter.

Even when there are constant problems occuring all around us - those said or unsaid, unheard of or imagined - laughter always brings us back to harsh reality: we don't actually have to feel this way. That said...

Here are some of the things that brought me back to reality:

Laughing my bootius maximus off during drama, with the assistance of Suma's trademark laughter.

Laughing myself to death for no reason at all with Kai, Haz, Ama, LR, Nice and Min during - well, a lot of times.

Laughing my boxers off at Putri, who thought that a piece of cloth tape she saw on the floor was a lizard.

Laughing at weird sounds made by our clique (and Chevady) during Model Making.

Laughing at coloured thingies put in a glass bowl (Kai, I don't know what to say, *faints*).

The best thing of all, laughing at myself. For inventing the rule that 14 divided by 2 is 7.5.

chuckles, and chokes.

Time off.

Away with any posts about stress and assignments, please.

Well, Saturday passed by in peace I guess. I headed down to Temasek Polytechnic in the afternoon (for the first time in my life) to help out Hamizan with his report (it was about pornography addiction, so yeah, I was on). Haha. The campus was beautiful (in comparison to Nanyang). The library was gorgeous (in comparison to Nanyang). The design school... Oh my kandarolli, how it puts our two floors to shame. Anyway, after a few hours of umms and ahhs, the report was done, and we went out for some chow. Thanks for the treat and company, old friend.

Now, I need more time off. Christmas holidays, please come by soon.

p.s. i need to nudge Hazwani soon, haha.

p.s. 2, i am having a terrible migraine now.

p.s. 3, oh god, I don't want that pontianak to haunt me.

Reliving.

The undead takes over. So, on Saturday, we had our final run-through of our Halloween performances shown to the seniors. Though it wasn't our exact best, I know that all of us can do better, so keep it up guys.

After drama, the peckish amongst us headed to Pizza Hut for some serious brunching and gossip girl, x.o.x.o (Suma's new catchphrase). Haha, don't ask. The drama mamas and papas made my day; you guys make me laugh more than any MadTV or SNL skit, rock on! (Oh yeah, dang, that was also when I realized that I had left my earphones back at the room where we had our full run-throughs. Damn it. I hope somebody finds it, cos' if I have to get a new pair it would be like the third one in less than 2 months. Sigh.).

Sunday was a blast. Since I had promised Sabrina a date, we decided to go out for a bit of reminiscious rendezvous. So, we headed down to Lido Orchard for some reel-watching. After booking tickets for The Coffin, we window-shopped a bit at the Apple store at Wheelock and checked out the new toys they had. The new macbooks were actually quite nice to look at, and I am so totally in love with the super thin nanos. After that was the usual Borders laugh session (though quite lacklustre because our favourite Yo' Momma joke book was gone). After getting our food, it was movie time.

We missed the first few minutes of the show because of all the food-related delays (we had a large coke, 2 hotdogs smeared with chili and mustard, a plate of nachos and cheese, and a bag of Twisties, all for only two people to carry to the theatre). That said, time for reviews. Script-wise, the movie was a mess. But I'd watch it solely for the 2 or 3 surprise scenes and the brilliant cinematography. Other than that, the movie left Ina and me scratching our heads. The movie made me think a bit about life. A bit only. If you are on the verge of killing yourself, I advise you from watching it. Because, everything about the movie, from the incandesent quality of lighting, combined with a grim theme, sombre cinematography, and a depressing score exudes more melancholy than an emo boy at a poetry read. Rent a DVD instead.

Other than that, I had a really great time with Ina. I missed all those times we had together, and we sure need to do this more often. And Ina, you can borrow my DS anytime you like, haha.

Oh yeah, before I forget, I want to wish Deepavali valthukal to all of my Hindu pals. Tomorrow, I am definitely going to have Briyani for lunch.

p.s. The Aku suka Orang Minyak song by Suma is stuck in my head. But heck, I don't want to get it out. Haha.

< Rendezvous >

So yesterday we all (Haz, LR, Ama, Min, Me) went out for dinner together at Marina. Great to see my friends faces again, they all looked happy after weeks without she-who-must-not-be-named. Had dinner 'with a view', not to mention that the infectious background music was SO cool. After that met up with Dass's clique and chilled; Dorin's friend had this cute black puppy that was EATABLE. Then Natasha and Sonia and who else came later; both of them lost weight; boy, I guess without the presence of she-who-must-not-be-named, good things occur. Some of the snapshots I took.

^^dining with a view.^^

^^not what we ate, it's fake.^^

^^drama mamas being drama mamas.^^

^^another dimension.^^

^^and another.^^

^^the iconic ritz-carlton.^^

Also window-shopped quite a bit. Wanna go again and get something nice from one of the cool shops. And that ice-skating outing is still under wraps. Oh yes those movie tickets aren't gonna watch themselves.
