stolen colours

I’m so thankful for my Zen Touch. It’s helping me endure dragging myself through all of Pharmacology and trying to decipher my own writing. (Yes, the drug names are so hard to spell that I deliberately wrote them in a blur in my notes.)

So the local climate has returned to being very-hot-and-then-very-rainy instead of just very-hot.

I can’t help thinking about what I’ll do when CA and pros are over. After pros – the Ringers go for SYF; and SteJuste comes back to Singapore again!

You know you’re growing up when acquaintances start looking at bridal gowns. And when you go back to RGS and the double-digit birth years of the girls start with 9, not 8. This year is a landmark-ish one for my family. I turn 21, and Mother turns 50.

Try Chasm. So much for studying.

Oh, nothing happening at all in my life nowadays; just mugging in the library and precious little else. Besides, I’ve taken to talking on the phone with an MSN buddy, so that’s less incentive to stay online for prolonged periods of time. MSN is such a blackhole of time, don’t you think? Sometimes there’s so much time spent waiting for the other party to reply because the other party is busy with many other chat windows, or worse, a group chat window. Ah. Perhaps I’ll give up chatting from now on and rely on emails instead.

I finally got down to watching my taped American Idol today. I really like the Afro-haired girl, the country music girl and the Moon River guy, and couldn’t care less about the rest.

I’m also currently re-reading Susan Cooper’s “The Dark is Rising” series.

It’ll now cost $12/month to read SPH’s newspapers online. I don’t see why.

GSD #18! I love the interaction between Shinn and Athrun, the latter being perfect as usual.

I shut my eyes during a particularly boring lecture this morning and somehow ended up taking an inventory of my life.
MY LIFE IS SO EMPTY, was the conclusion. It came with a distinct envelope of sadness.

A dilemma: Should I go down to RGS tomorrow? Or mug? I am really, really feeling rather dead, even if I study the whole day during the weekend. But no one else is going down, and The Conductor just sent out a desperate email to the alumni list.

The monotoy of a warm, dreary day of mugging at the library was broken by a tub of ice-cream. Yes, kurisutein actually bought a tub of Ben and Jerry’s from the 7-Eleven at NUH. I met her and W while I was going back into the library after a break, so ended up going to the pavillion with her and digging in. It’s rather difficult to scoop out still-hard ice-cream with plastic spoons, so W said “I’ll wait for it to melt.” In the meanwhile, kurisutein and I happily played archaeologist and went about excavating fudge and walnuts, respectively.

In the library! I feel so crippled using a normal mouse instead of a scroll mouse.

Got a fun link to a Face Analyzer off Raydance’s blog.

Here’s of myself. I must say it’s rather accurate. Unlike Raydance, I look 100% Chinese, as expected; probably PRC Chinese, even. Must be the eyes; too large for Japanese/Korean.

Here’s of myself as Ayahito. They got the race right, but all the characteristics wrong.
