i'm so proud of myself today, cos i think that i finally talked some sense during history tutorial..lol, the simplest pleasures that life gives u..is simply amazing. anyways, i wanted to go for the finals for volleyball boys cheer support at TP stadium, but i forgot to bring my PE shirt. i thought that perhaps i can watch my v-ball friends play. hopefully, i can go watch friday's b-ball finals. simply because yan ming's playing on the team.
seriously, i think that zai is beginning to think that i am a bit polluted. well, to be frank, i'm not, cos i know what i'm talking about most of the time. i mean, i dont veer off course for no reason, right? i'm a perfectly straight person, though at times, i have to admit that being polluted in my mind is kinda cool...
things that i have to die-die complete over the weekends:
1) study peribahasa
2) complete essay outline for tutorial 15 for history
3) refine my tutorial 14 essay outline (hist again...)
4) do my PW research and type out mail to NSS
5) help momo and yuan han prepare survey and interview questions
6) revise my work, though i dunno where to start

i'm dead beat. i have to go get some rest now. if i am not so tired, i would have loved to write more, but i'm seriously in need of sleep. have to log off now...zzzzzz......nites......

Sleepy,

aloha...long time no see and write...haha...been very busy lately. but never mind, in the peace and tranquility of my room and the 'accompaniment' of the music which i am hearing from my iBook, i think that i should have no problems in updating about what really has been happening these past few weeks. i have been meaning to post entries, but you know, time is of importance in this phase of my life...so where shall we start?
ok, firstly, these past few days have been really good to me, i.e i talked to zailan like almost every night, which kind of neutralises my panic and anxiety about next days. he was such a kind person, he even spit out jokes every now and then to entertain me when i was doing my much-ado about nothing history lecture 6 Discussion Forum. i had submitted two days late, and i was supposed to submit it via IVLE on 2359hrs on Friday, which, for the record, was Vesak Day. so, i can argue that i needed a much-needed break. so, yeah, i was rushing like mad, like some maniac sitting in front of the iMac on Sunday night, when i told zailan to 'enlighten me please'. and he sure did it well. he told me some dirty jokes, oh, and i wouldnt even think of posting it here as the jokes are kinda racy, there's a certain explicitness about them. so, being a responsible and law-abiding netizen, i shall observe the rules and not put anything that might offend some other unknown parties. hehe...what a joke...ah well, besides that, he asked if i wanted to go and watch da vinci code, which i so wanted to watch, since it's gonna be released on the 18th of May. but he said that watching Over The Hedge is questionable, but i thought that it sounded stupid to hear animals talk. but he said, 'let out the kid in you'. yeah, right...like i wasnt enough of a kid already...
and then, we talked for 3 hrs, which kind of beats the record, which stands at 2h 40min, which was last year, during the Dec hols. it felt good to talk for long hours and talking about everything and anything. which brings me up to the next point. he said that it was amazing that someone like me does not shy away from talking about everything, clean/dirty, funny/serious, good/bad. in a way, i think it's a compliment as i think that not many people that exist in this whole world is like that...
ok, so that's it about him. i gotta tell you this, but i have already started being friends with khairul j2, the one which syah and i initially had bad impressions on. haha..seeing that i'm an absolutely judgmental person, i figured after talking to him for 5 minutes that my judgments were wrong. he's actually generous, as in he brought us drinks from the vending machine after our tarian performance. i guess i cant stop myself from judging someone, as i have judged so many people that it is often wrong.
then, there's the much-dreaded timed practice for history this afternoon. i was shocked as i thought that the test would be held during tutorial time, but i later found out from reliable sources that it was to be held during the lecture slot. no wonder mr loh was saying something like, 'If i let you guys take the test this morning (during tutorial hours), then i know that you guys will give me all sorts of crappy answers since hist tutorial is first thing in the morning.' i guess hearing snippets does not do much in helping you understand the main picture, huh?
luckily, i studied for the history test and the math test during econs lecture. since mr choy was lecturing on production and costs, then i thought that i might as well study for math and leave it up to my own understanding to capture the gist of the econs lecture during my free periods. oh well..everything you do has an opportunity cost..haha...i dont regret not paying that much attention during econs lect, as i managed to do all the sums for the math test as a result of my last minute study...
during PE, we had to run 2.4km again and again and forever. i thought they said that after you pass your NAPFA, you can play games. yeah, right...games indeed. running 2.4km in 18 mins is their idea of a game. not that i mind running 6 rounds in 18 mins, but still, a promise is a promise right? you cant do anything to alter that...what a shame...
from what i heard from my friends involved in drama, a lot of people have dropped out of drama. now that i am finished with tarian, i dont know if i should take up their offer of starring in the drama. but i'm scared that it might be too late for me to enrol. i wanted to do back stage duties, but as far as i'm concerned, that job is for the j2s. so how come izzah was involved in publicity?
ok, i think i've spent enough time in posting this entry. i really think i should go off now. got school tomorrow...

It's gonna be really short this time, as i only have 10 minutes to post this entry. basically, i'm just gonna update on what is happening in my life this past weeks:
1. hectic. i barely have time for myself
2. busy. lots of datelines to meet and PI to be submitted
3. history essay to write, on the most critical problem of pre-war nationalism. i argued that the lack of strong leadership, but the other group tried to psycho me that the basic conditions of SEA that time was not right for the impetus of nationalism. what the heck...i tried to hard to defend myself...
4. tarian. my performance is on the 11th may. and i still haven't memorised tarian steps, and cikgu wants to see the whole thing tomorrow!!! Argghhh!!!
5. econs test next tuesday on demand, supply and elasticity, inc price ceiling, price floor, specific and ad valorem tax, blah blah blah...heard that it is on a case study...Goody! hopefully that it is on OPEC, which discusses about the hike in price of oil per barrel...
6. math test week 9. still haven't studied
7. prepare essay outlines for history tutorial 10 and 11. oh my god...i can absolutely die...
8. i passed my 2.4km run!!! yay for me!!! mr sanuse was so proud of me....(winks winks...)
9. i still haven't memorised surah at-takwir and the arabic writings for lines 14-29... god, save me!!!
10. went cycling at east coast park. got black in the face...naturally. i'm already dark, and i'm darker!!!
11. the sight of some person irks me...why don't you just find someplace to curl up and die???
12. re-do rangka karangan..woahh...
13. find similarities between 'Rime of The Ancient Mariner', 'Christabel', 'Kubla Khan' and 'Lewti'...
14. read Othello before next term...

so, i'm practically drowning under the whole massive workload. tell ya what...i promise that my next entry will be more of a happy thing, though that sad element cannot be left out totally...
