Q

This is about the earliest I’ve been home the entire week.

Well, okay yes I didn’t go to school today, what with my broken throat and all. It feels strange to be skipping school, though. A sudden silence and lack of activity in a day becomes strangely jarring, instead of peaceful – which was what I hoped for it to be. During the O Level period, I took almost a day off every week to lie at home to watch TV. Those days were the only things keeping me going during continuous mugging.

I suppose it doesn’t work anymore.

I’m probably so accustomed to chaos, panic and action every second that even boredom has been redefined. (And no, I haven’t done any TV watching today). Later, hopefully when I feel less shitty and busted, I’ll being going for Macbeth.

I feel a little aimless… Insane as it might be, I kind of even wish for A Levels to be here sooner, so I have something to look forward in my life. Something, that actually has an impact to whatever is ahead of me. Not superficial things like, ooh tomorrow I get to wear my new shoes or yay it’s Hot Dog Bun day. Then again, when A Level comes, I’ll be bitching for it to be over, and when it finally IS over, I’ll resume my rant about the utter pointlessness of life. …Until of course when I get a job; that is where eternal complaining will take place.

I really do have quite an astute outlook in life.

Highlights of the week pretty much include everything related to food.

Met up with Xin Ben Geoff and Rei (sans Ran) and attempted to do work at Island Creamery (what’s new?) before hiking over to Waffle Town. Which has great burgers. (And Ben I owe you twobucks).

Yesterday had my first dibs on Sogurt. I CAN’T BELIEVE I PROCRASTINATED THAAAT LONG. Sogurt is the best thing since.. since Marble Slab creamery. Except don’t get the Raspberry-Pomegranate. It’s a little weird.

And then I finished the tub of B & J’s Strawberry Cheesecake.

Oh.

Now I get why I’m having throat issues.

The week before, we went over to Chinatown to interview the author of Yawningbread.org, a rather controversial (or at least in local standards) webpage discussing political issues, primarily about Gay Rights. Mr Au was pretty radical, to say the least. He made some pretty enlightening points, besides his constant emphasis on how Singaporeans should watch more porn. Quite an experience, really.

NAPFA five items over. I could feel the extreme difference in expectations over here and in St Nicks. For one it was a little less competitive. And now instead of aiming for As in everything, I just settled for getting a Gold. 2.4KM next week )-: Let’s get at least a C and not shit Red Bull anymore? I’m now bloody unfit and I wish I had hardcore Mass PE training with Ms SLim 5 weeks before NAPFA so I wouldn’t be a blimpy couch potato. Okay I’ll still be a couch potato, but perhaps a more healthy one.

HI CATHLEEN IF YOU ARE READING THIS HOW ARE YOU DOING I KOPED THAT PICCY UP THERE FROM YOU.

I have the privilege of shoutouts now that I’m not drowning in the Hwachong School-ness of it all.

Muggers, Marks & Spencer’s soonsoon? I’m craving the onion twist thing and shortbreads.
