XinYi and Yifan's belated bday meet up
I realised that the more accounts you've online the more busy you are having to update so many entities. so if you havent seen the facebook pics pls visit grace's or terri's blogs to view the latest happenings of our salmon-intensive lunch at Akira, Link Hotel. sorry... too lazy to do all the uploading all over again. i swear we ate so much salmon that we might've suffered an overdose if not for the fact that salmon ain't a drug. it was really salmon from heaven. driving again tomorrow. in the morning but i've to go extra early to get my PDL which is such a small flimsy piece of paper but such a significant piece of paper too.

I DROVE A FRIGGING CAR!
It may not seem like a big deal to others but it is to me. the first lesson was....ok. the instructor is a quite friendly uncle but he got onto my nerves at times esp. when i was negotiating the right bends and he was like blabbing away about this musical box he got from a wedding he didn't attend and he kept asking me to look when obviously i CAN'T and DON'T WANT TO. bloody irritating.
the second lesson today totally SUCKS. i can't control the bloody car and i totally cannot do left turns. drove over the curbs like damn a lot of times and i can't get the car to go straight. i'm always like swimming left and right....but mostly i tend to go too much to the right cos' i perceive the car to be very close to the left and hence keep veering towards the right until i go out of lane. the instructor kept asking me to move left but i can't do it without feeling like i'm millimeters away from the curb. it's a psychological thing. my right arm totally hurts from all the left turns today. and all my theory stuff just flew out of the window. i have a phobia of turning now. wah lau the steering wheel damn stubborn i feel like destroying it. driving really makes one's temper worse and it's almost too easy to develop road rage. next lesson i'm supposed to go onto the real road and i'm freaking scared. right now i consider 20km/h to be fast and normally i don't press on the accelerator much. 20-30km/h is already like woah, 50km/h on the roads i think my heart may leave my body. i guess the main reason is that i don't feel confident enough and i don't feel like i'm the one controlling the vehicle, it's the other way round. and i feel so demoralised cos i'm already driving auto and the next level down would be a bicycle. kinda relieved there's no driving tomorrow.

exams are OVER. the relief is equivalent to releasing a big bladderful of pee that's been held for 3 hours on a bus ride from one state to another in a coach during a holiday on tour in China.

I'd rather be a plant.
School is all that matters now,
it swallows my entire being.
There's nothing else I can write about,
my life has got no meaning.
I'm a slave to this academic pursuit,
though I don't feel I've gained much.
Education has ironically numbed me,
and turned my brain to sludge.
Our country has such a narrow definition
of success, goals and achievement.
On this one-way path we're driven,
do you feel any real sense of fulfilment?
Is education just a great big farce,
to turn us into robots?
All we care about is studying,
and whether we get As or not.
Where is the zest for life;
the real reason to get up each day?
If school is all there is to live for,
I'd rather be a plant, any day.

i need a job.
for the holidays only...but as if somebody will be so nice to just hire me for like a few weeks and then say "ok! you can go thanks for your help!" i can continue dreaming.
tomorrow is FRENCH paper... and right now i cant even make a proper sentence in french cos my brain is so clogged up. je suis erm... je suis idiote? je suis argh... nevermind. even though this semester's exam schedule is the shortest i've had since the beginning but no matter how short it always feels like bloody years before the whole thing is over... i can't believe the last day of school was just last thursday. it's been barely a week but it feels like forever.... yet at the same time the semester of 13 weeks flew past like....what? it's over? already? uni life makes time appear so distorted and makes me feel utterly disoriented, trapped in some massive frigging time warrrrppp. je deteste ca. ooh ok a drop of the french juice is seeping through. big whoop.
watched HSM3 with Jannah on Sat (yeah so free hor) and it was like full house...at le grande cathay (ooh more is coming) even though the show has been running for more than a month. Jannah shared my sentiments, " I thought the only people who haven't watched were losers like us." anyhow the movie was... a 2.5-3 out of 5. it wasn't sorely bad though very formulaic (but being a product of popular culture, it's all about commercial success and not so much about the artistic and intellectual value. pardon me for being a little Marxist here. sorry the pop culture module stuff is now leaking out). but what irked me was how they broke out into song so randomly in this one... and that as usual there was too much of the lovey-dovey lurvebirdy scenes and not enough of reality (like hello is there such a university that offers a double discipline of basketball AND theatre?! they totally made that up.)and and and... would someone tell vanessa ann hudgens that her dresses are way too short and that she flashed the audience more than once in that waltz number?! isnt this supposed to be a DISNEY film. and who the hell rides a bicycle in a miniskirt. perhaps she's very particular about ventilation. ironically, the song for the waltzing scence is the only song i like.
lots and lots of pent up, disorganized, random, loose and moshgroshblosh blabber i need to release. writing is SO therapeutic. i need to clear my brain for organic chem. damn, the mention of it makes me sick to the stomach.
