this was my ARTOFLIFE

Managed to function properly with just barely 3 hours of sleep, think I'm going to sort of pay this abuse back later on tomorrow where I'll be super blur and zombified.

Went to library to start/finish up my homework with Sze Him and Ami :D Was definitely more productive than doing work alone at home with good music and unlimited internet, lol. (cos I'm distracted really really really easily.)

Thanks for the gorgeous earrings, Sze Him! So shiney, haha.

Borrowed Murakami's Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, which I read on the train towards Toa Payoh. I only got to the middle of the third story, but really, I can tell it's gonna be an awesome book because I'm already getting the goosebumps from the previous stories, the good kind, haha. (Unlike Neil Gaiman, I can't ever really complete his short stories, not because they're boring, but... just... there's this quality about them that makes me unable to finish them, like... I don't really want to know, kind of thing.)

After meeting up with Sneha and Sofia, we went to buy flowers, and omg, this is the first time I knew that flowers are so expensive! (gods know that I don't ever buy flowers for people and my mother buys those for the altar at the market where it's like dirt cheap.) Sort of... jealous? Haha, not really, just wished that I had flowers too during the choir concert, (Sharon and Kai Ling did get me one, which was really pretty! :) I remembered it was white!) But my pragmatic side of me has to come out and tell me that flowers are a waste of money because they do nothing but look pretty and die quickly. You see why I'm not a romantic?

Anyway, I enjoyed myself at the concert, it wasn't fabulous per se, but really, it has been ages since my last band concert (ever since my eldest brother graduated from NUS and subsequently the wind symphony.) so it's really cool to finally experience one again and I'm feeling hooked sort of already. (like when I'm rich, I'll watch concerts every two weeks or something. But I would prefer the more... baroque to 19th century pieces. Don't really like contemporary.) I recognized some people in band, like Fatmah (duh!) and Praba and this CJ guy who went to Reach Cambridge too and this other guy but I forgot his name. But I remember the face!

Only Sneha, Sofia, Sherilyn, Shaun and I turned up, representing our class. (why do all their names start with an 's'?!?! Make me feel so extra lah! Lol.) Min Jie backed out halfway even though Fatmah reserved a ticket for her already, well, as long as she pays up, it's none of our business, so no need to feel annoyed or anything, Sneha, :).

The title sums it all up, man. Just what I have been doing in the past two days only. Reading. Heh.

Things that I wanna read:


Might be updated from time to time. Depends on how OCD my mood is on a particular day.

Gackt sama turns 468 today! XD

Yeah, that's not his real age of course. I think he's in his mid thirties already, but damn, is he still a fine piece of man.
Of course, the added bonus that he used to introduce himself as a vampire just makes him even more appealing.
And Bunraku is done filming. Can't wait to see Gackt in Hollywood. I mean, damn, he's going to gain even more fans and he'll never ever come to our part of Asia.

Okay, so I could have gone on rambling about everything on Gackt-sama, but... too sleepy to make futher sense. Besides, my spelling has gotten worse thanks to the tiredness, so no point writing more when it's bad.

TPW today was a ridiculous waste of time. Yeah, we basically didn't do anything, though I ended up half way through Lilith Saintcrow's The Devil's Right Hand. Lol, spot the innuendo? In which there was a lot of fluff scenes and barely any action. At least it's not as bad as Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake.

Then there was this long talk on team dynamics and stuff like that... yeah, the speaker was entertaining, but there were so parts that annoyed me. But he finally let us off at about 12:30. Finally.

Had a meet up at RP, in which I thought I didn't know how to go, but actually I did. Because apparently I'm bad at visualizing things, so I can't draw up a map of how to get there, but I know how to walk once I'm there and seeing the landscape. Well, this only applies to places where I have been to, of course.

Then went back home and watched two episodes of Monochrome Factor, eating a burnt lunch. Cos I forgot my bread was in the oven, being toasted when I was reading some book., and it burned.

Piano was pretty alright today, I think I'm gradually doing better at sight reading, though my pieces still suck. I can't bloody follow the goddamn metronome.

Then met up with Kim and Faza to go back to KSS for CFN. It was fun, meeting up with everyone. I talked to a few teachers, nothing much, since I don't really hang out with the teachers... but the mass dance was fun, even though there were a lot of people crowding around me, most of them are my friends, so it wasn't that bad. And to think that we used to not like folk dance back in sec1.

Oh and I collected my testi, everyone's (or at least people from 4D) seemed to be almost about the same... which goes to show that it was probably Shasi who wrote it... blah.

Anyway, after CFN, Faza, Amirah, Navin and I had supper at Limbang's Mac, where we basically talked a whole bunch of crap which I'm prone to when hanging out with Faza. Haha.

Crashed home at about 11, so tired... but in a good way. :

Went 'mugging' at the library at the crack of dawn. Okay, so not exactly dawn because I was late. As usual. But for a Sunday, it was still pretty early. I guess it's due to the holidays, but seriously, the 4th level of Jurong library was... surprisingly quiet for once... no wannbe teens blaring bad poppish music, no little children running around, disgracing the 'hallowed halls'. Okay, I exaggerate.

In my handy dandy file contained my Literature, History and GP homework. And I am very disappointed to say that I have accomplished none. Well, I mean I did doodle some notes here and there, but as I was largely stumped by the exercise 14 of the P4 package... I just lost the mood to do productive work. Instead, I went book-hunting.


And because I go off tangent horrendously, I shall now blabber about DRAMAS!!


Okay, should be asleep now... it's already like 1am... and I need to be functioning by 9 for my piano remedials. >.> Gah. At least there's NARNIA to look forward to, as well as catching up with Faza. (: Hope Narnia's good.
