hi all...
after my very long blogging hiatus I would love to return with something intriguing and terribly profound to say, but unfortunately, no.
Well, I did manage to write my psersonal statement for my UK uni aoo, I'm pretty proud of it; in fact I'm pretty proud of me :) Thus far, most people have liked it though jamie thinks it needs oomph-ification, and my GP tutor, very predictably, circled away at errant commas and whatnot. Also talked to my CT about it, and she's surprisingly more human now. She used to have this very freezy effect on me...think its gone, if not very much reduced now. Cheers.
Also applying for SPH, EDB and NAC scholarships. Wish me luck all. Considering my not exactly mindblowing prelim grades all this might be a litle overambitious on my part (Seriously, what exactly can one do with
BCDD?) but i figure a weeny, teeny, ten to the power of negative something chance is better than none at all. I need sholarships to get me to UK, or anywhere out of here, and if I stay here any longer i risk going mad. I refuse to fall into the sort of drifty
normalcy that dominates here; I want to l
live out loud . I guess maybe getting into a totally new environment will remind me how to live again. The past two years of JC have sort of killed something inside me, by some slow, gnawing action, and I'm afraid I'll never get back that little bit of vitality again.
Today was a better day than most, did some real studying in school with Hidayah. We have this crazy bio revision plan that if successful, would entail writing at least 4 essays and completing a few dozon structured questions (faithfully supplied by the excellent Bio Dept of TJC) and so forth. Well, one can always hope. Anyway, after that we ended up going to spotlight at tampines and wandering around picking up strange items (
Oh wow! a purple halo, a purple hello? a hallo?, and speculating about grad night. I got me shimmery pink fabric paint and a fairy-ish template thing..gonna beautify my pink(!!) and freshly bought bag. Something to look forward to, yay. and hiddie bought a tiara.
Ahhh moment of the day: Spending an ridiculously long time wandering around the wilderness of tampines central
looking for bandung without the milk . Uncharitable souls would call it
rose syrup. The satisfaction we felt when we finally found it was amazing..haha..for those interested, you can find it at the S11 foodcourt downstairs of the big popular. (well, there was another stall we saw after that selling the same thng for 40 cents less but we pretended not to see it) . Hidayah, crazy girl, also wants to buy this weird frosty mug thing..apparently made of special frezzing material, so if you pour an "icy cold drink" into it, and stir, you magically get "delicious frozzy drinks". Or something. Basically, it freezes drinks into those popsicle like things you eat in primary school. I'm rambling because its almost one in the morning and I'm getting sleepy after doing half of VJs maths paper. My point is basically, that today was a good day. Excellent.
Have a swimming plan tomorrow. And a studying plan. Excellent, again.
2 more days to school closing.
Nemo to Zenon:
"we're going to a movie. Now. And we already bought the tickets. So we have to go. NOW "
Nemo to Lynnette:
" I don't not like him. But I dont like him either. Maybe I just don't not NOT like him. but i definitely dont dislike him. You know what i mean?"
Random little bits of the day. I'm off, dear reader :)
