"AreYewTaKingMaNuaLoRAuto (no breaks in between what-so-ever)" Me--- *look blur* Orh auto.... " okyewkipdisanddengobriefingroom1whichisbehindthatbigpillaandafterbriefingusebacdiz

  I love the spice girls and i ain too proud to admit that!! so i was supposed to go to school today but i didn't.
because
(a) i slept too late last night
(b) mum forgot to wake me till it was kinda late and i took it as a sign to sleep in

so then been writing my stats cheet sheets all day.. very draining arh.. we are allowed 8 pages i'm, at chapter 8 now and still on first sheet.. so should be no problem but i'm really tired and my mind has started to wander and i'd like to raise some important questions

1. Why do i insist on staying home so much when i know i'm more efficient in school??
2. Why did Westlife do a cover of Josh Groban's "You raise me up" with the exact same music settings, background vocals and all?? Its exactly the same! just 4 guys doing what 1 guy can do much much better much much MUCH better!! *roll eyes* maybe they should call it the "we-look-prettier-but-sound-rubbish 2005 REmiX"
3. Why is it that i can bathe and feel sticky all over again in half an hour??
4. Why do i bother to bathe then?
5. Why do the lecturers insist on crampin so much into a module... it makes it impossible to study.
6. Why am i still sharing a room with my sister? i'm like 20!!!!!
7. Why havent i KILLED my sister in her sleep? i must have amazin tolerance, patience either that or her dirt and mess and tissue paper mountain has evolved into some virus that infected my neuro system rendering me unable to inflict pain on her!
8. Why is it i study for like 2 hours str8 and the moment i take out the lap top to take a break, the mother walks in and NAGS......  ¶ 5:52 AM 1 comments

  message received loud and clear!! sometimes when God replies, he dun just send you a small sign. He whips out the flashing neon sign boards, he uses the loudhailer with amplifier super-woofer, surround sound... Dolby digital ans this morning during mass, i got the message loud and clear. Remeber my post yesterdae, about my frustrations of not doing good in school and painting mugs for a living.. well during sermon today this is what Fr martin said... " we are all given different gifts and talents and these gifts and talents are not ours..they belong to the big investor above.. and what we choose to do with these gifts and talents are really our own choice.. but when we study and train, we must remeber that it is never for our own glory or prestige, when we expand our gifts we make it so that we can better carry out what God has planned for us.. we are all unique, sent to fufill a certain task that only we can fufill.. sure we can choose to bury that talent but the world and the people we are meant to touch will be 'poorer' because of that...like good poker players, we must learn when to HOLD and when to FOLD... so the next time we are faced with difficulties on what to do with our talents, say a prayer that sounds like this.. Dear Lord, the talents i have you have given to me. Grant me the grace then to know when to hold and when to fold." And so it was a huge reassurance for me.. he has given me my talents and he had planned what i am to do with it.. instead of fretting for no reason, i should ask him to let me know when to hold and when to fold... silly me...worry for nothing again.. with God, i always get the reassurance i need to carry on and now that i've made it a point to pray before i start revision, things are finally picking up speed.. oh man How sweet it is to be loved by him!! heh.. The best part, is that for thanksgiving hymn, we sung "You are Mine" its my ultimate favourite him and each time i'm deeply troubled, it will be sung.. i felt so comforted i was about to cry..happy tears of course.. whao.. thanks GOD!!!!  ¶ 5:52 AM 0 comments

  i'm not smart and i cant be hardworking Being around smart people is scary. It really is. Then i wonder.. i've never been a TOP student why on God's green earth am i muggin so hard now? maybe i just ain cut out for that kinda stuff..UROPS, Masters, PhD..schlorships... is it a case of regret.. maybe i should've cultivated a mugger sttitude earlier then i would be so stuck in the rut at the moment.. *shrugs* at least nobody can say i never tried.. because i sure am.. maybe some people are cut out for bigger stuff and i, well lets just say maybe i can paint mugs for a living or something. Today is just one of those days where you (out of the blue) decide to stop and think about your future. Do i have a future....? sigh even if i wanted to do UROUPS, i dun even think the Profs would want me lor.. i'm like just drifting through uni life.. i'm not a go getter.. the thought of having to go one on one and convince a prof to take me in is cow-ass scary to me.. i think of the questions he will ask and i think i seriously may not have the answers...then i think.. second uppers.. *faints* the unreachable dream bah... if i get a cap of 4 this sem..4+3.56=7.56/2=3.78 then i need another 4 next sem..3.78+4=7.78/2=3.89... then another 4... 3.89+4=7.89/2=3.94 then 4... 3.97 then 4..3.98 HUH.. not even 4 lor.. OMG.. *shakes head* can someone tell me how to do well in NUS please....  ¶ 5:52 AM 0 comments

  So. Busy mugging. Wait, let me rephrase.. busy trying to mugg..
So. My lecturer says rich people are impotent because they eat too much shark's fin and shark's fin is cartilage and thus high in mercury and thus IT KILLS YOUR SPERMS. It silences your TADPOLES. It murders your MOJO. so.. another reason not to eat shark's fin k!! When the buying STOPS, the killing CAN too.  ¶ 6:04 PM 0 comments
