girl knocks on door. girl tries to run away. girl misses the drama.
i'm not being sarcastic, i just think omg, so draaamaaa...and i feel bad for seow si min. ok and jac too. aiyah, both are my friends, so i shall just jump out of the picture and dont care.
since simin said "aiyah, moon also don't care one lah"
and it's true. in the sense that in this scenario, i won't get myself involved. though i do still care about the feelings of my friends. it would be great if both of them were damn damn happy now with no worries, but that wouldn't happen, so i can be realistic. ha.
i thought we were quite bad at the cheerleading. just stating the facts. though they did put in a lot of hard work. there just weren't the oomph factor.
all the small things in my life. and there should be bigger stuff. like i could be the Prime Minister worrying about the future of S'pore. but im here worrying about these teeny stuff.
but don't think so much, maybe Hsien Loong is sleeping soundly now.

that's it! it's the growth spurt pill
I was rambling on and on to Simin when we were walking back from dinner. I was saying:
"You know, I have to know that I learn something new everyday, so that my day is productive (lately, we are classifying our days as productive/unproductive). You know, I have to like at least grow a few inches everyday...And sometimes, there's this something, this something that just strikes you...and you suddenly understand something, and you feel that you've grown a lot....it's like it's like....it's like...ITS LIKE....
TAKING A GROWTH SPURT PILL!!!

Suddenly thought of something:
Jinhe asked me to look at the Nanyang Chronicle Sports Section and give her some feedback and critique to help the Sports Desk improve. Well, I didn't. But, something kind of struck me suddenly regarding the unpopularity of Nanyang Chronicle among the school population, even though our writers write reasonably well.
Firstly, there's a serious derth of newsworthy happenings in school for us to report. So in the end, I guess the paper kindof reports for the sake of reporting. Sometimes, I really have the feeling that "Hey, that article is solely there for the purpose of filling up the empty space."
Secondly, I sense similarity in the Chron's predicament when you compare it to SPH in Singapore. There's no competition! Maybe some worthy school should set up another newspaper or maybe it could be an independent student's effort. Fight with the Chron for news nuggets! Maybe it'll improve. The SU's Tribune don't count.
Lastly, few writers seriously take pride in being a Chron writer, maybe besides the dedicated editors. I confess, I'm sometimes one of them. There are few incentives and perks in being a Chron writer, and point no.1 makes it worse. Who would want to take up a boring assignment? Everybody wants a piece of newsbreaking action!!!
I hope no editors or Chron people take offence. I just feel like ranting a bit. I'm kindof part of the Chron Chinese newsdesk and photo desk too. So I'm shooting myself in the leg.

I finished COM208!!! Brilliant!

You can ignore my previous post, just a random ranting.
Everyone's nicks on MSN seems to be bemoaning about the nuisance of COM208's assessment of journals assignment. So I shan't complain more about it. The reason why they're complaining would be because they've most probably started on it, and I HAVEN't. So goodness gracious, I'd jolly well keep my opinions to myself.
Anyway, I'm finally home since I have to do some stuff for Dad.:)
Today's dinner was really good, because there were chai dao, onion egg, and jap mushrooms...all my fave. And they're reasonably healthy too. I can't even find time to lament the fact that I'm lacking exercise.
Will be going back hall on Sun. Am really excited to see Jiaying and Li Yuan swim, I hope they're set to be competitors. Damn sadistic, I like to see friends fight among themselves. :)

Sometimes nobody really knows how I feel, so I cant be bothered to explain.
Really nobody, besides myself. Though I'm glad for the fact that I understand who I am.
Sometimes trying to justify that you're in exactly the same or a worse predicament compared to mine doesn't actually work the right way. I get irritated and feel like telling you to "kiss my ass".
But I'm too evil to tell you.
P.S: I'm in a tired mood, maybe I don't really mean what I say.

my monday is soooo free...for the moment, since HA205 tutorial hasn't really started. Prof Ho is gone for some overseas conference, I think. Haha, I kinda miss his lessons. :)
Looking through the IRO website, and JIAMIN, we can apply in advance for 08/09 Sem 2 i think! It's nerve-wrecking thinking that I'll be spending life away from home, although it's just nearby Taiwan/China. But I really love the environment in Taiwan, it feels all dif from home, yet there are subtly some similarities. And i like the weather, and the RICE.
I only have lessons at 4.30pm, meeting Rushan at 3 for a VERY late lunch. Lessons this sem are really boring. What's with all the research stuff? I wonder who's going to take the comm research track, but gosh, it already sounds dreadful.
Bein the kaypoh me, I was so interested to read whatever Hall 6 pub wrote about our volleyball team. But, apparently, they took it off and replaced it with something mild. But it's good that they did something wrong, if it reduces the flak and shit people had given us. Moon is evil, omg, i didn't really mean it.
And, ending off with a good note, ginseng cereal tastes good. Yum.

发现自己缺乏了向人诉苦的本领，只会带着笑脸，掩饰背后内心淌泪的真实。有时，觉得有义务让每个人开心起来，但方法总是错误的。不需要安慰的我，是真实的我吗？我想是吧。。。
总是对人家complain之后，又补上一句“Aiyah，明天会更好！” “加油，Ah Moon！”“不会死的！”那的确是真的我，没有刻意掩饰，没有隐藏，但有时，当个乐观积极的人会有点累。
今天，好想当一个不那么optimistic的人，只想emo一下，不要管我！

今天，突然发现自己知道的少之又少。
有时候，看得不够仔细，无法用眼睛洞悉，用心灵去感应。原本以为是对的，都是错的。而错的，到底是什么？
人类，在宇宙里就像沙漠中的小沙子。好渺小。。。以为自己大过天，却最终可能被塌下来的蓝天压得倒地不起。

Glad for the fact that school has started. Moon loves school!
Still in the thick of action for IH season. Photo and video almost everyday, sometimes I have to sub my subcommers...sometimes all i do is back up their photos. Sometimes....I just feel like shooting.
Twas' HC809 lecture this evening and I must say it gets intimidating hearing the PRCs speak up in lecture. They do know more about China than us. But Moon won't 退缩 so easily. I'd be there to learn more from them. :) Moreover, always felt that China is an enigma. Definitely want to learn more about the country.
Something Chinese every semester. Keeps me happy.
Not in the writing mood these few days, so my sentence structure is all haywire. Pardon me.
Shit.

Reading the comments on the shoutbox doesn't frustrate me anymore.
Suddenly, I find it all very funny.
It's so ironical seeing "where's the pride man?" when the niners themselves don't take pride in being residents and starts quarreling among themselves.
I don't see a point in joining in a meaningless conversation and get myself bruised in the process. It's not self-protection, it's just being clever.
I think we need to take a step back, continue to improve on the website( and ourselves) and turn a blind eye to the stupid and seething comments. :)
Like what Harry said, I'm a straight A's student. I'm damn clever can.
