I havent been blogging lately since I've changed from the old blogger to the new one. Why? Because I cant understand why the dates of my post dont appear. Do i have to manually do this with each post? Like this one? I dont get it! Ive checked the settings and it seems perfectly fine.
So where on earth did the date go?
Changes are already bad enough. Tech changes are worse!
Someone, please help me.

I know that I've blogged a lot about how I want to exercise and the very fact that I blog about either about running or swimming attests to how rare and therefore eventful-worthy they are. Im hoping to change that. I want it to become a consistent part of my schedule.
Other than the fact that I removed 1/4 of my wardrobe due to, ill-fitting reasons (pun intended), I have been getting signs from my body that I need to adopt a healthier lifestyle. I think my body is protesting against my sedentary lifestyle and it's time I heed her advise to do something.
That said, Im going to go all mushy now. I am absolutely grateful for having him in my life.
My rock. My pillar. My strength.
Also, I have finally found motivation to start doing my readings. I think its because tutorials start this week and people around me seem prepared and now Im scared shitless that I'd be left behind unless I do something about it.
Aside: Ooh, I bought myself a green top with a mandarin collar. I love love love it. Im going to make sure I wear it at least 5 times this semester.

I am 3 to 4 shades darker.
Dont get me wrong, Im not one of those people who appreciates being roasted by the sun to have a bronzy shade. Nope. I absolutely cannot tahan when people bask in the sun for the sole purpose of soaking up UV rays so as to appear healthier. I mean come on. The whole being- tanned thing is to reflect that you've been active, doing something outdoors isnt it?
Which is why I dont get people who go to the swimming pool only to lie down somewhere to get fried, without even touching the water.
Anyway, I have no prob with being dark. After all, it'll fade away with time. But for now, my eyes have to get used to this. I suppose it isnt that bad. Just that the juxtoposition of the fairer, unexposed areas to the sunkissed ones probably magnifies the difference.
Had a great time today. Swim, eat, shop.
Ps: Yx and Just..we cant afford to spend so much time on subsequent mondays okie?
Aside: I miss Pema. She's my semester butt-kicker. She's in Grenoble now and so I wont have my weekly motivating cum bitching sessions anymore. Well, at least till she comes back. Pema wrote me a nice long email today. Its so different the way she writes as compared to the way she talks. She uses such flowery language. I took a long time crafting a reply so I wont sound so stupid. Heh. So if you're reading this, you better not delete the email.
Gosh, school just isnt the same without you.
Darn, think im starting to peel. Need to find moisturiser. Now.

Blocked nose begone.
Thats it. Im going shopping. Cant take it anymore. I shall head on down to Marina sq after school on Tuesday on grab that top. After all, now that tuition has resumed, I think I can afford to :)
I cant believe Ive been teaching her since she was sec 1. Now she's in sec 3 and Im gonna have to start polishing up on my trigo and other A maths stuff. Can you imagine, certain things I learnt in C maths are now in their syllabus? Partial fractions for one.
Im also teaching her sister after a one yr hiatus. Apparently she flunked her sec 1 exams. Good news for me :) KACHING. Unfortunately, direct and inverse proportions are back to haunt me. Gosh, I absolutely HATE those questions. You know, those kind which asks "12 men take 7 hours a day to built bla bla in 9 days. How many hours a day will it take 9 women to built the bla bla in 16 days".
ARGHHHHHHHH. I just dont get them. Give me Differentiation. Integration. Trigo. Fractions. Algebra. Graphs. Statistics. Anything!! Just not those darn questions.

Spent almost the whole day with the bf after a whole week of not seeing him. And I must say, I behaved rather childishly when I met him. You see, I wasnt feeling well and wasnt in the mood to dress up so I wore my usual pink tshirt jeans ensemble, the usual school get up. Besides, he usually wears either his blue or black shirts so no biggie. But when i saw him today, he was wearing a SHIRT. A collared blue and white stripes long sleeve shirt with jeans and sneakers, as if he's going clubbing...(And he looked amazing. *Faints*) and then I went "what? now i feel like crap cos i look horribly slack next to you".
Of course he was hurt. Considering Ive chided him before for not bothering to dress up when we go out but then when he does, i..la la la...
But im of the opinion that when a couple goes out, its ok if the guys dresses like a slob and the girl nicely. But if its the other way round? Its just weird la. I can substantiate my point but its 11pm and I cant be bothered. Look me up if you want an explanation. :)
Moving on, it was only after i decided that it was just me feeling slobbish to begin with, and hence changing my mindset that the day went on perfectly.
We went to karaoke. Haha. I know! But we wanted to try out new activities together instead of just the usual meal and bla blas. I must say, it is quite fun huh? And that coke with lemon drink thingy is addictively delicious. Its really good for the throat too.
Also, we watched Pan's Labyrinth. It reminds me of Brothers' Grimm a little but definitely darker, serious and a tad freaky. I am still trying to find out what if there's a deeper meaning to the show because I have an inkling there is. But i cant seem to figure it out.
PS: Yunxian, I think you'll like the show.
So another week before I can see him again. Blah.
Aside: Saw two tops at marina square today. One with lovely pink and white stripes and the other a red t-shirt. Should i? Should i? Hmm.

Seeing Yx's posts on her shopping spree makes me want to shop too. Sigh. But until I resume tuition and get my monthly dues, my wallet is pretty much tight.
Had my first Reading Visual Images lecture yesterday. The lecturer is one of those old-school type of profs, the really articulate kind who can string his sentences with words so cheem that for once I really felt like I was studying in a university. Its hard to explain. Sigh. I want to be as eloquent as him.
And either the lecture rooms at SDE are hot and poorly ventilated or that the belt i was wearing last night was tight or that it was the onset of my flu..I felt extremely light headed after class. Was practically swaying to my left as I was walking home.
Not in the DL but its ok. Im satisfied nevertheless :) Motivation for this sem perhaps?
I really should start on some readings soon.
God, loved ones and studies. Nothing else matters.

I WANT to run now but I have no one to run with..wish i could run alone at night but im a coward. So I guess I should just do some crunches or something....Ahh..lazy la.
Ive got myself some buddies to gym/swim with every monday though :) We start next week.
As of just now, I officially have a 3 day week. Which is great since I dont like travelling all the way to school at all and I study better at home. Besides, Im planning to utilise my free days to the optimum so it doesnt mean im any free-er thank you very much.
That said, think maybe I should stretch before I sleep. Stiffness begone!

Oh my gosh.
You know how it is that sometimes you listen to a song on the radio and you like it but you never know who its by? And then when you find out you're sort of relieved..
Well, I just realise (thanks to youtube) that so many songs I like are by Lifehouse! Blind is by them...Take me away is by them...i wont be surprise to find more.
That means, if i actually do get their CD, it wont be a waste of money. Not like other Cds wherein only one or two tracks is nice but the rest suck.
Hint: My birthday is coming. Fine, 3 months time.

I used to crave and horde responsibility. Now I shrug it off, run away from it, dare i say fear it. Escapism has always crept into my life every now and then but lately, I notice that it has engulfed me.
I want to engage myself in more activities but with every commitment comes responsibility. And ive let myself become so afraid of it that i choose to stand on the sidelines. I fear compromising my free time. I fear not being able to do what I want as and when i want. I fear looming deadlines and impending engagements. Underlying all these is the fear letting others down, of being viewed as incompetent and irresponsible and above all, of being judged.
The sidelines offer solace. Ive had my time in the centre of things. And so now I stand and look on, even though the currents beckon and threatens to pull me away from the shore.

Does anyone out there listen to Lifehouse?
I remember I first heard 'Breathing' when they just started out and I liked the song. I can remember the words to it but i just cant seem to remember the melody because another one of their songs is stuck in my head, "Everything".
Then theres 'Hanging by a moment' and 'You and Me'.
Anyway, if anyone of you happen to listen to them and have their cd, let me know. Im eager to listen to the rest of their tracks. If im not wrong they're into their third album already.
So, anyhoos, share because you care :P

I am overwhelmed by the lazy bug.
I wake up late.
I cant even sit down and write my resume.
I dont feel like starting any nuspsyche writer's stuff.
I dont feel like buying my textbooks (okay...actually now that ive mentioned it, maybe I do. I cant help the excitement of getting new books 8-) Yes, nerd alert.)
My head is in the clouds. Someone, ground me now.
Hmm. What to wear to school later. Tough. Tough indeed.

I absolutely love love loveey Bangkok!!!
Its the ultimate shopper's paradise! I dont see how singapore can ever beat bangkok in terms of the variety and price of the items there! The only gripe i have is finding really really good quality stuff at dirt cheap prices since you can also find them in singapore at comparable prices. Im not saying that they arent good quality stuff..there are! *faints*
Gosh, i mean really, the variety...those tops, bags, shoes, slippers, belts, earrings, caps...in all colours and cuttings...
And this may be a hasty generalisation but i find that bangkok women are well, more trendy than singaporeans...and they tend to be smaller in size? I dont know..
Bangkok, I'll be visiting you again!

New year countdown parties? What is the point really? Im really amused from watching snippets of the new year party promo on tv. There's images of large throngs of people gyrating happily as if there is no tomorrow. Other than an easy excuse to get pissed drunk, I dont quite see the point.
Fine, if you want to celebrate having lived 2006 the way you did, or if you want to celebrate the coming of a new year and the expectations you hope for the new year, why large parties with anonymous people you dont know who might step on your toes, brush against you, take your place on the already packed bus/mrt or even steal your taxi as you try to get home?
Why not spend it with people you love? Unless you love all of mankind and want to share your new year with people you have never seen and even if you see them in future along some interchange, you wouldnt even smile at (for fear that the person thinks you mad because he/she was too stoned to remember who the heck you are).
Unless the people who go there are a bunch of lonely people who need to be surrounded by thousands of people to..i dont know..feel loved?
Or perhaps a whole bunch of friends go together then i suppose its somewhat ok.
Either way, its a free world. If it makes people happy (like advertisers and whoever, and of course the attendees) then so be it.
The world needs to be happy once in a while. And maybe, i dont know, large parties sort of bring people together and the happy bug spread from one person to another so everybody's happy.
World peace.
Gosh, this post started out pretty much ok but im losing content and im rambling.
Aiyah, whatever la. Bottom line is, I'd rather stay home :)
Happy New Year to you. May 2007 be a blessed year for everyone :)
