sunday has arrived!
LA DI DA, okay so amazing race did come and pass, and i finally have time on my hands for my next project: quill issue 2 *faints*.anyway, it was a blast honestly. the stay-over the night before, stupid printer which couldn't print properly, the random jamming session at 3am in the morning, the macs brekkie, eating bar chor mee in church with the SAME people for the 1234563243 time, falling asleep randomly in the youth room beanbag (it is a sleep inducing bean bag i'm telling you, because amos spent almost 2 hours before lunch KO-ing on that same bean bag), and all the other EPIC FAIL and POOPOOHEAD moments. haha, loves.so i've come to realise that although i get super annoyed planning up to the event, i eventually enjoy it after all. sigh, oh well, haha maybe the only way to get me to attend these events is to actually get me to plan them haha.anyway, i'm in sore need of sleep, and HOME COOKED FOOD, and then i have to get cracking for the quill.*FAINTS*

i sincerely cannot wait for sunday to be over.
yes, i have never wished for something so much. it's so taboo to do so, i don't even know if i should be wishing in that manner.note to self: never write beyond midnight.work has been fun. i'm excited, finally getting down to the projects itself. more surveys, more data entry. man, i almost opened SPSS haha.honestly, i can't wait for saturday to come, more like it. i've spent majority of my waking hours slaving over this shite, it have better turned out good. because if it didn't, frankly my dear, i don't give a spam. honestly, last minuteness works for some areas of planning an event, but not for others. not when you're trying to organize 70 odd people. no, not happening. why you even volunteered, i have no idea why. okay, biatch fest over. enough is enough.so tiny. so scary. so fragile.motivation. it's a sticky thing. it's one heck of a toughie. and i have to learn and cultivate it in more places than one.it's a dogs life (:so i pray that i can hold on, and not be worn out, God willing. because i can see the fruits of it all.alright, bed.

monthly update!
haha okay a short one before i go off to sleep.so a lot has happened, and for the first time in the longest time, i was in malaysia for almost 1 week, and that's long for me, since i'm usually there for only the weekend and stuff. but it was an unexpected but fun week haha.also, i'm done being the history teacher. miss the kids to bits, i really wish that lobang had come earlier, then i would have counted that as my internship haha. but anyway, i'm hoping they'll keep in contact.so what have i been up to? INTERNSHIP. haha at the asian civilization museum (more history). it's been pretty fun these 3 days, see how a museum actually works. and my department is fun too haha. and the history i'm dealing with, i guess it's something a bit different from what i'm used to. so it's no longer the arab-israeli conflict, but more like erm, the indus valley civilization haha.couple of interesting exhibitions to catch! one would be the kangxi one at acm at raffles place, which is closing super soon, so come! the other is baba bling, over at the peranakan museum, near smu. i got to go for the curator's tour, it was superb i tell you. anyway, just go okay. either way, if you've never been to the museum, also worth the trip haha.okay, bed, i'm falling asleep over my research haha. and i have a super long day tomorrow.

so much for a bummer summer
yes, i realise i wrote in the last post that i plan to nua around. well, it obviously didn't happen. in fact, i'm at work now, just on my lunch break, got to get back to the arab-israeli conflict real soon. since last week, i've been at chinese international school, relief teaching for a month. it's english and history for me, so i've been pretty much pulling out my old secondary school and jc notes haha. well, i must say it's been fun. the students are thoroughly amused that this young twenty-something is teaching them. a vast change from their previous teacher, who's a guy married with kids haha. especially the grade 11's (that's jc one in local lingo), since there are a few of them that are actually born in 88 as well. one guy's even a month older than me =/ and they're shocked that i'm already done with my second year of university. time goes by a little slowly for them, i feel, and i hope that they'll be able to go faster. means i plan to finish the arab-israeli conflict by the time i leave, at least up till 1973, which i probably will accomplish, since they have 5 periods of history A WEEK, mind you. either way, it means i won't have much of a break before my real internship starts, so that's going to be a toughie. and i'm super bogged down with quill and amazing race now, so it's almost as good as berserk time. i realise, every summer, i tell myself that i'll have an easy one, take a break, nua my way around the next few weeks. i always end up doing something / a little too much. oh well, lifestyle, as i would tell my english classes. alright i'm somehow pretty sleepy, after lunch syndrome, and i have to prepare for my last class of the day hehhhhh. later (: PS: josh - relinked you.

i realise, i haven't been here in a long time.
my my, i haven't written in ages.
well, i'm well, alive and kicking, and done with my 2nd year of uni :D hur, talk about growing old, the next thing i know, i'd be graduating and scrambling for a job.
life has been good. friends, old and new, are dear to me and have made life explicitly bearable. new people to run away from always make life more exciting pffffttttt. actually, 2 months has pretty much whizzed past.
i have to get the writing habit back. if you don't feel the tug to write, it must be bad. not like the muse has left me or anything, i have plenty to flesh out in words. just the absolute lack of motivation that's holding me back. and all the editing i probably have to do for quill real soon haha.
in other news, i've moved from rock to random electronic rock / almost pop. gosh, nsync has been rife on my playlists, followed by futuresex/lovesounds and chris cornell. utterly random, but i find it thoroughly disturbing that this is happening. must be a devolution back to adolescence (zomg! dev psych all over again!).
and i'll be bumming till june, since internship takes up my last 10 weeks of summer. and i have no idea what to do with it but wake up at noon (i just did today haha), bum and watch multiple episodes of whose line is it anyway (which will eventually run out, oh the horror), plan for amazing race, spend more time with the youth, and generally, nua around the house.
if you want to meetup, please PLEASE message me, i'm really quite free haha.
alright, i need to... find something to do haha.
