Lipids

i need to quit elastic pants and loose tops and super low rise shorts because during the yr when i've stopped wearing jeans, my tummy is growing at an exponential rate. Say hello to my muffin top soon.

One of Many Reasons Why I Love Murakami

his books leads you to discover beautiful and amazing things.

Hijacked

My computer has been taken over by my mum recently. To watch her korean dramas. It has been arranged tht she will start watching at 8pm on the lappie for two hours after her 7pm korean show on teevee.I will do miscellaneous stuff till 10pm and start using the lappie after that. It worked out quite well till she got hooked. Today she spent more than 3 hours watching the drama on the lappie while I hung around doing nothing during that time. The living room's teevee is blasting china dramas and my room is blasting korean dramas. Gawd, it was kind of awful. Cus i have no where to go and nth to do when all the entertainment mediums have been taken up. I'm reduced to using the internet on my phone which isnt very nice cus i cant play games.

You know, I cant blame my mum for watching korean dramas on the net cus i was the one who introduced it to her and taught her how. And it's understandable that she's hooked. But, wow. I've never felt so redundant in my life before. I was practically doing nothing. Now I sound pathetic. Argh!

Another mundane post on the fleeting of time

I’ve kind of lost track of time. The days just blurred into each other during the holidays. Especially the Xmas period when the parents are at home when they usually aren’t and you think that it is the weekend when it’s actually a weekday. More often than not, I caught myself thinking that it’s already 5 plus in the evening when it’s barely 3. It’s kind of weird really. Cus I wake up pretty late if I have no plans for the day and I spend just 2 hours awake and when it’s 3, I thought it’s 5. Get what I’m saying?

Well anyway, point is, the year is ending before we know it. Ok I don’t know about you, so it should be more like the year is ending before I know it. Seems like 2009 just got by pretty fast. I know I say this every year but really, 2009 is like double the speed of the usual maybe.

And this means we’ll be embracing 2010 soon and I am not looking forward to it at all. Case in point- harsh world, awful rules, unfair game. But even with that, I still do not want to do honours so yes, I will have to deal with the practicalities and the reality of life in 2010. Talk about growing up (Guess mine shld be kind of major, the growing up thing).

I just want to deal with it one step at a time you know. Like finish the sem and then kind of just see how. But that’s not allowed anymore. Okay, no matter what. I’m going to leave growing up till 2010 when sch reopens so that I’ll still have at least a few weeks whereby I can be in self denial. I’m going to enjoy the remaining of 2009, which has been kind of great so far so, till then!

Homework Tragedy

After spending some time helping the cousin make his website for his holiday assignment, we hit upload. There was no "save" button nor "preview" button for his sch portal so both of us were kind of anxious and excited to see how it would turn out.

404. Syntax Error.

Mouths agape. Eyes glued to the screen in disbelief. Then at each other. Before breaking out into laughter. Bitterly, first. Then hysterically.

What luck.

Abrupt

Tell me, how far do you go? Or rather, how far can you go? How far are you allowed to go?

How far do you go till it means that you’ve crossed the line?

It’s like the boundaries are now blurred. They are no longer distinct. You tread between here and there and you don’t know what to do. Just because, there’s no definition for the kind of relationship that exists. The feeling of the familiar, yet distant. And that wasn’t even the kind of definition that I would have opted for. I mean, it does not spell out the feeling exactly. Sometimes, words can only do this much.

Life has no manual, and you know that. That’s what makes it attractive. But that’s what makes it horrific as well. The unexpected, the unknown and the feeling of what lies ahead. But then again, I’m not talking about the future here. I’m digressing already. I’m talking about the present. About of not knowing what to do in a situation because you don’t know where you stand.

Arh, this must be it.

Gotta just stop somewhere. I guess.

I’ve been painfully slow in doing things. It must be due to the short attention span that I’ve developed as I grew older. Hence, I often find myself with things that I wanted to do but never had done them or I’ve started like a little, and then give up.

The books on the floor are read halfway. Each for a different mood. And sometimes, I just read because I want to return the book to the library and get some other books. But as I’ve mentioned, I’m slow so they’re still where they are right now – on the floor by the bed.

It amazes me that I still want to get more books because I have loads to read. More than I can complete by the end of the hols. And these days, I’m either out and about or I’m trying my very best to work on the transcript[the internet is a major distraction]. If not, you can find me hugging my pillow as I watch Dexter.
Dexter is intense. So intense that I actually went to read the synopsis before I actually watched Season 2 for the fear that my heart would jump out of my mouth. But I kind of regretted a little cause the experience is so much better not knowing. The experience of you know, the heart jumping out of the mouth. Some of you may think that I’m exaggerating but well, I’ve grown more timid over the years as well. So, yar.

I realized I’ve written lesser. And it’s not good. Cus I have a bad memory. And I don’t know where certain parts of my life went. I found an old diary [like physical, not virtual] the other day with like, 8 entries? But wow, I dint know I had so much to write then. And I wrote better. Now, my English and Chinese is failing me.

Pretty random but yes these are the stuff that I’ve been up to these days. Had fun out today and played with sparklers. $1.70 is all you need for some good old fun. Hols are ending soon so I guess I better make the most that I can out of the remaining days. This is pretty much it I guess. So yups.

Ps: somebody was playing with laser light at the opposite block and it shone right on my face. Freaked me out like mad. Seriously, what’s wrong with these people?
