Today, Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer. Somehow his death seems to be more noteworthy than MIcheal Jackson”s or Amy Winehouse. He seemed real. And I remember clearly it was him who convinced me to change my course of study (and possibly future). Well, okay, it’s not like he sat next to me and told me or anything, so more accurately; it was something he said, coming, most ironically, from one of my GP assignments. “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Anyhow, my life has become more interesting of late. My motto is that if things are as bad as they can get, they can only get better. Seeing as my leg hurts like crazy most of the time and sometimes I’m bored to death, while other times I’m working past (typical) working hours, I’m thinking that my life can only get better. Well, most of the time I have fun, getting more comfortable in this new environment and with the circle line opening next week, my life is surely getting better! But as all things in life, some give and take needs to happen. For someone who doesn’t adapt to change particularly well, I’m handling.
On a more serious note, my Achilles hurts like a bitch. It’s a chain reaction. (The Chain of Screaming, WHAT UP!) Yea but anyway, it’s all cos of my new flats which I had to get out of obligation for work. So now I got some heel pads which I’m wearing in hopes of easing the pain, which I have to say hardly helped this morning, after I stood on the red line train, which only made it swell worse. Ice treatment helps though. And my bed is my haven. Somehow when I get on it, the pain disappears. Oh and talking about my bed, I got new blinds yesterday! They’re grey, like my wall, and looks like my room has an empty stretch of wall when it’s down. Finally I can peacefully sleep in on Saturday mornings.
Yesterday, mummy was stressing about what to wear for her school’s Children’s Day celebration today. In the end, with the help of Dawn’s wig and my expertise (no, really), we decided on a long skirt (Mummy cheats) and an indigo turtle-neck blouse, so when Mummy wears it today, she’ll be unrecognisable and she can sing “Hero” to her heart’s content. It was lotsa fun! Glad I didn’t go hide with my com again. Not like I have anything to do on it.
By the way, my results ROCK
Happy Thursday.

⇨When life gives me lemons...
i.... use the rind to make cake?
recently my life has been boring and stressful at the same time. i know i need to study harder or i'll never pull my grades up (taking it verbatim from wh: don't expect your grades to improve if you put in the same amt of effort as the last time) wonder how many times i've heard it. but anyway, my new 'inspiration' of sorts has come from a self-help book (i think?) called the 7 habits of effective teens. oh the title never fails to make me feel older. Come next year i'll be out of my teens! oh well, better late than never! i've come to realise that my life is like a sims character. i need a nice planner ( which i will get....soon), the book has made me ponder about life, and it has helped to change my perspective of life, somewhat. i've never really believed in these books before, and i always thought they were all meaningless and all the same,nagging at me to live my life in a certain way. but after starting on this book, i realise how it addresses common, yet veryimportant aspects of life. maybe i'll soon become a new and improved me? hahaha!
i've been sick for the past month i've been super sicko. somehow everything's not going away! especially the tonsil pains and late night gastrics. wish i knew what was happening in my body. and today i went for a past year paper revision thing for med micro and i was sniffing and coughing away. ironic much? well, i do hope i get well soon. even doing the immuno paper last week with my horrendous cold was hard enough. okay gotta sleep now. one of my eyes is red ): how did it happen! my body is breaking down! i haven't been that bad to it.... have i?
bleargh..
lucky me, im not in the same class as ..... next sem. new and improved me or not, i'll still hate.
Always, debs

⇨Flashbacks
everything that has been happening around me now, like Deanna getting into jc and me, studying for my final papers for year 2 (time pasts so fast!), has got me thinking about jc times again. Sometimes i do regret leaving. I miss my friends the most, 3 people from my class who i was the closest to during my time there. and of course my bowling friends, and also all of IG12. Comparing deanna's orientation experiences and mine, I realise how much fun i had and how many good friends i made. And it always makes me wonder what life would have been if i hadn't come to poly. Then again, i wouldn't have the friends i have now. I just hope that deanna will also be able to cherish the time she has in jc.
Thinking about all this is making me more alert! I have to sleep to continue studying tomorrow ): Life is so confusing. I wish i had some answers. Wish i had people to confide in, but now even finding time to talk is close to impossible. Sem 2 has been so hectic, i hardly even went out once. Havent seen Mich and Nessa and Gen in AGESSS, much less been able to talk to them. Miss themm ):
Over the weekend i realised i don't know what i wanna do after graduating from poly. Mummy's friend asked me over the weekend, when i went to one of their houses. What do i intend to do after poly? It was then i realised i didn't know what course i wanted to pursue in uni. This reminds me. I'm gonna look something up now (:
Okay im lazy to wait till i search for something to post this, so i'll just wrap up now. tmr will be a long gruelling day of studying for final papers next week. wish me luck! Goodnight!

⇨2 in the morning
and i'm still not asleep. I cant get to sleep cos of all the thinking i've been doing. Maybe i've become an owl of sorts. This morning in church i could hardly stay awake, even though i slept about 7 hours. Must have been the insane shopping on saturday. Insane not cos i bought many things, but cos mummy wanted us to buy stuff faster so we could go home. But all the same, we ended up taking about 5 hours. Yet i didn't get any shoessss ):
the last time i posted was during my last break. Eek. Eons ago. Between then and now, it has been non-stop work. Lab reports, projects, tutorials, ptech random questions during lecture. And stressing over not understanding ptech at all... And presentations. Even though there's no use in me saying this: i wish i didnt have to do another oral presentation in my life. who doesn't wanna shop for shoes all day?
Sunday is SUCH a rainy day. I don't think it stopped raining at all. But then its good for sleeping! If only i could. Wet days make me feel all runny and weak. Rain rain go away. Chinese new year is coming. Sooo excited! So many things im gonna be able to eat. But for now, i'm coughing so much. Im almost certain my organs are damaged. Ugh.
Goodnight everyone, i need to go all the way to school tmr morning to hand in the ptech report )):

⇨Mediocre
how would the summary of my life be, right about now? i'd think it would be mediocre. medium, not so bad and not so good, besides this crappy day. Today started off quite great and happy, cos Deanna was up really early as always (her crazy little hardworking brain working at full speed at 8) and we had to hang clothes. Normally there would be some shouting and anger before i finally got out of bed to hang those clothes. But today it was better. however, my great wake-up was spoilt by the book i read. I can be SUCH a bitch when i read non-feel-good books. Books such as the Lovely Bones. Whooo great book, great storyline but not feel-good. So i got angry at my sister for trying to read while i was reading and for reading when i was midway reading but stopped for a break. Just a pet peeve, but still. Pet peeves are known to be the most... peevish? hahah!
Another shit thing that happened was that my great com decided to spoil on me for the 2nd time. OMG. How lousy can it get?! so i have to go call the people tomorrow and complain like a sickening spoilt brat (cos that's how i feel right now) about the stupid com and how it stopped working on me AGAIN! I keep such grudges... hahhah!! Moreover, i kinda lost the warranty cos i wasnt the one who packed it before the move. So it may very well be in storage and i'm not hardworking enough to look for something which may be in the depths of my store room. SHIT SHIT SHIT im so screwed in the ways of present technology. Maybe this phrase doesn't make sense. hahaha! but im too tired and headache-ridden to care much. The JOB HUNT has ceased for now. Who would want me if i can only work a fortnight?bleh. planning fail this holiday. maybe when deanna can work we'll go find together (: i'd feel much better and happier! But most prob her holiday schedule will be very much different from mine. Oh well... attachment for my first working experience won't be so bad right??
i can always dream.
taylor momsen is so cool. and this is so weird. she's younger than me! rrr.
however as me and Michelle established last wednesday, the "make me wanna die" video does not have anything to do with the song, besides the part where she falls into the grave.
bye everyone!

⇨trap-books
hey everyone!so i went to the library today to pay my overdue fine and to borrow some books, and i was looking high and low for rachel gibson, but seems to me like romance readers are really going on an all out borrowing spree this holiday.and so i chanced upon a book by nora roberts instead, and i really love it!love her writing style and the story plot,because even though i acknowledge that it is naive, or really overrated,i believe in the whole soul mates thing. And then i get started thinking about all the what-ifs of this world. Like: what if i dont go to uni, or get a job i love, or have the life i've planned out for so long. Yes i've planned down to the detail of bathing with body shop soaps cos they smell divine. But some stuff in the middle are missing. Like, whether i've found a guy to spend my life with? Or maybe i should spend it single,but adopt a kid, or just single, single, to prove i dont need a guy to take care of me.although, this post comes from using my abit too long nails to type this out, and it kinda hurts now cos this post isn't exactly short.. But oh well. These are like the essentials of my thought for today. Looking for my job has been fruitless, not that i tried hard at all. Hey, im lazy. Deal with it.but i do get things done with pride (or as much pride as i can muster at some lethargic stage of doing work) okay.time to sleep. My nails hurt!
Love, debs

⇨Home for the day
that's exactly where i expected to be today, and rightly so. it's booooring. as everyone knows. so i had lotsa fun in the late morning and early afternoon playing office wars on fb. Then i helped yx with some stuff and she helped me. Then we had lunch (my family, not me and yx)and bla bla bla... i LOVE green tea.maybe that's something that can help me slim down! yummy! So, now i have to think about the prospects of staying home the whole day again tomorrow. As against it as i am, i simply have nowhere to go! I have in fact, thought about getting a job, more so today since i saw 3 bags which i love love love and have to buy.but the thing is, i have no money and my $135 isn't likely to drop from the sky anytime soon. Therefore, the job. THE JOBBB!But I have nowhere to work. As mummy once said, i won't survive doing a sales job. No shit. I hate doing sales and assisting people! (you know in the sense of being paid for helping and assisting people in a shop while they are shopping) even i don't like being watched. So maybe i should just do someone's admin work. Now im experiencing some weird deja vu. I HAVE talked about this stupid job thing here before. So you see, it's been bugging me till now.
Yay me. I am so screwed this holiday and those bags i've been yearning to buy are so way off in the distance. Okay. Done writing, i'm gonna do some scouting on the classified ads now. See y'all! (and wish me luck!)
