“But people are rather stupid and waste their lives. Have you not seen that? Have you not looked down from the horse at a city and thought how much it resembles an ant heap, full of blind creatures who think their mundane little world is real? You see the lighted windows and what you want to think is that there may be many interesting stories behind them, but what you know is that there really are just dull, dull souls, mere consumers of food, who think their instincts are emotions and their tiny lives of more account than a whisper of sand.”

terry pratchett - 'Soul Music'

whatever cref and ganga say about terry pratchett being a load of trashy novels, i think he has some of the best insights into the human condition.

mex it out

sara on america's top model is really pretty... her hair is GoRgEoUs

tmrw is ao maths. wat if i dont pass? wat if i do? wat if i almost pass and knew that if i'd worked that little much harder i would've?

is it time for reproach? when it comes down to it... i really dont know. sometimes its like a sacrifice, one subject for another, and this philosophy (if it can be called such) carried me through track nats and competitions and terms and prelims. does it still hold now? am i even able to pass if i want to now? today was the first time i touched maths in one million years. there's tmrw, and then six more days to paper two, and i feel... calm, unfettered, unruffled. if i really gave a damn about maths i'd be freaking out right now.

or rather, i'd be freaking out now two weeks ago when i'd scheduled myself to start math revision.

whywhywhy dint i start when i should have? cos i dint freak out? i'm not freaking out now so that must mean something... probably that im a stupid fool for being lazydazyhazy. assonance.

at least. at least... today i managed to start, and its not so hard once the rhythm comes up. as long as i keep to it i think i'll pass maths. i hope. and hopefully this not at the price of my other subjects.

i hope april wins cos she's asian

black as night

post colonialism is a bore...

i cant even remember wat my other topic for s lit is so i think i'm dead. i think its... ok i really cant remember, even the books i have dont remind me cos i dint really have a plan when i picked them.

oh no.

catachresis appropriation.

i feel better today.
i also feel fat so that means tmrw i have to stop putting off the inevitable and hit the torture chamber with my big yellow towel and convince myself that pain is temporary but willpower lasts forever. which it doesnt but who's counting anyway, at least i feel reprieved for the moment.

so far there are two things happening:
1) food fest at expo hall 5 which ends TMRW
2) motor show at suntec which ends 21st
hmmm.

i think i am crazy. just know i was laughing at my tortoise cos it ws waling around with a piece of longbean sticking out of its mouth. wellwell. at least life is interesting.

waking up early has seemed to cure my stupid sniffles. past few days i decided to get up at 5 and do some work until i get hit by the midmorning lazy bug, and surprisingly i've hardly been sniffling through the day, which is so typical of weekends. i should do this more often. maybe its the weather the past few days... so much cooler and fresh cos of the rain. i dunno

must cut hair
must go shopping soon
must get earrings for lizzie
must find some nice stuff to munch on
must find out how jie is doing

night is never as black as morning

God bless
