project. project. project

A friend ask me recently how was school and how were the projects coming along. I didnt know how to start. I dint know how to tell her how horrible it has been. Project members that have NO aesthetic skills and no appreciation for perfection are bugging me as the stuff that they are churning out are seriously ugly and slipshod. I have a layer of the project with me and I am planning on giving it a complete makeover. The other layer is with someone else whom I think has no intention to do the same. Its the ugliest piece of work that I'm ever involved in. I feel so tired and embarrassed of having to keep telling them its ugly so I just gave up eventually cus its still ugly even after they edited it. And then there's that MCP who seriously makes my blood boils with his ridiculous ideas that I was trying so hard to contain my thoughts and emotions on his stupidity and let the others knock some sense into him. I mean, after 6 hours of project work and you still have to deal with such stupid people, I would have shoot him really badly with my words. And its not nice, judging from the fact that I still have to deal with him in future. I'm so going to do badly for this project.

And there's 2 other projects due 1 week later that I've barely started. I feel so tired and so drained that I dont even know how I should approach them anymore. This has been my busiest semester so far. To think that I thought last sem was bad. Compared to this sem, last sem was a breeze. In addition, lecturers are not as nice and approachable as last sem.

And then you know that something is wrong when the glutton dont even feel like eating anymore. sigh.

secondary schools

I was browsing through my cousin's secondary school registration book when the page on Maris Stella caught my eye. Apparently, all secondary one students are required to buy a Macbook for their lessons. Compulsory you know.

And I'm like, what are the kids studying in secondary school nowadays that require a Macbook? Its not even laptop, its Macbook.

sigh. I dont even want to get started on how we do our studying in school in my time. and its not as if I left sec sch decades ago. It has just been what, 5 years?

I hate it when she speaks like she knows it all. Like she's above the rest.

Oh your mighty highness, I fall before your feet.

Some people.

Singapore's POP Music

I went to the the National Museum with ah tan today to prepare for an assignment when we found ourselves sitting down at the music booths, listening to Singapore's Pop Music made in the 1960s.

They are a whole lot better than the music the bands are making in Singapore now, especially the singing. There were covers from the Western music but they were good.Rock and Roll~ It was so good that we were 'groooving' to the beat and adding in our own little actions when we think that nobody is watching. The lyrics were simple and the tunes were catching.

C'mon everybody dance push push

I've never felt so good for a long time. Tonight, before I was typing this entry, I was reading a book by Murakami (new Love!) in bed. Few hours before that, I found myself at Yishun Library, surrounded by books by Murakami. Which was a pleasant surprise as most libraries usually have them out on loan. I saw a remark on the cover of a book which describe him as similar to David Lynch. Goodness, David Lynch! Brings back all the memories of Cultural Studies.

Tonight's an unusual night. I hadnt read something that I have enjoyed without worrying about assignments and readings for a very long time. Reason being the recent assignments are due today and readings can always wait till the day I need them. In addition, next week is recess week!True, I have project and presentation to prepare and research upon but it wouldnt hurt to laze around for a while I guess.

The past week(s) has been very eventful. As you may all know, I've got my braces removed thou it wasnt very obvious. I kind of still look the same. I'm wearing my retainers now and I feel as if my teeth cant breathe. I've got myself a new phone, which kind of left me very broke but I love it all the same. I've had it for one week already and yet I've yet to fully explore the functions of the phone due to the busy school week. Just the other day, I found myself in the arcade with R at Suntec since we had nothing much to do and spent one hour there playing games which amount up to $13.50. Chalet was quite fun but draining. I ended up at Cherry Hill when I overslept on the bus on the way home the next day and had to take another bus back home. Times like this, I end up getting frustrated with myself as to how can I allow myself to miss my stop when I'm already so tired. Training last Tuesday was kind of disappointing as only 5 pple turn up. We ended up playing 'old man's' basketball, taking jumpshots (which was a first for me as I thought I was old enuf to not do such stuff alr) and ultimately found ourselves in yy's car, packing up the extra pounds by chilling out at grapevine. As usual, gossip commenced shortly after with pple getting confused over what was termed GG and BG relationships. Tuition was uneventful, nothing much to teach and I ended up doing his art for him while he tried to come up with a salad recipe for Home Econs. Ok I know everything's kind of messy here but I cant really rmb whatcomes first, but they were all memorable in their own way.

Its only February and it seems like everybody's having a party of some sort to mark their phase into adulthood. Personally, I dont find a need to celebrate it by having a big get up as there's nothing happy about being an adult. You know, more responsibilities and that sort of thing. Normal celebration will do, after all, age is jsut a social construction. Then again, isn't everything?

Wo Bu Yao Du Shu

I am doing everything that is non-sch related. I have loads of readings to do but I'm reading everything else such as fiction and reader's digest (I just bought two books. hee). I have assignments to do but all I do is go out and haf fun till i'm so tired that once I reach home I only have enerygy to climb into bed. I love my social life and I absolutely abhor school. Whoever that said the worst is over when you completed JC is a big fat liar. JC was a breeze. Uni suck like hell and incompetent year ones who are unresponsive, irresponsible and cant be bothered can just go bang wall.

Ok I've said my piece. Time to get back to work. pffft.

Ps: look Ma! No braces!

He wants to cut hair
But he has no hair
So he went out to get some air
Wondering why is life so unfair
