recce trip

another day of waking up early.

went sentosa today with vm people.
aim was to check out the place for amazing race for kid's world.
went palawan beach first and then walked to tanjong beach.
settled for tanjong beach for beach games.
hehe.

after that picked out some spots from the map.
and went walking around the various places to hunt for other spots.
i guess on the actual day i'll be leading those groups running around like mad.
haha.
gonna be damn tiring.
i realised.
some places are so darn inaccessible.
and honestly. i guess i'll be so much more familiar with sentosa after this.
wahaha.
can find part-time job there next time maybe?

here are some pics.

sentosa

the musical fountain at day. doesnt look quite pleasing huh?

the merlion. yes it looks do dirty now. i used to be pure white i think.

guess wat this is? it used to be asian village. now it's like a ruined place. sadly.

yea. conclusion.
sentosa is kind of in a mess now.
with the construction and all.
but i guess it's a nice hang out place.
if there is sufficient time to go around.

looking forward to the event!
shall go run round parts of sentosa.
also means more work to settle though.

back to tutoring on wed.
gonna have to work harder.
and make sure the child gets her grades.
sigh. or else i'll feel like such a failure.
hmmmm.

get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

saw this on ying's blog and just simply tried it.
;)
click here to try it out for yourself. :)

dont really think it's fantastic.
so my head might just treat it as junk i guess.
sigh.

supposed an outing with the ob class today.
but end up kind of a small group.
7 people.
haha.
which is the gang of 6 with the same time table.
including another fellow classmate.

haha.
went marche at suntec.
quite a handful of people were late.
so end up we only manage to get into marche and sit down for the meal 1 hour pass the meeting time.
haha.
was talking so much nonsense.
i think i've got the high before the stress.
haha.
was super suan-ing edwin until he almost couldnt take it.
haha.
but yea. kind of made a small celebration for peiyi's and edwin's b'day.

during the meal.
i think samuel suggested taking photo.
and i think my reaction was too fast. i said "take what photo".
but the way it sounded seem like i was scolding him.
haha.
so dumb.
then after that he got the shocked look.
then never say anything.
wahhaha.
so end up.
the whole gang of us never take photo.
oops.
must have been me.
but seriously.
i was just purely blur.
no harm intended.
eeks.

after that didnt quite know what to do.
end up deciding to go play pool.
so the 7 of us packed into edwin's car and then off we go to somewhere near paradiz.
again. i think i was way too high.
as usual.
or maybe.
more high than usual.
yea. stress.
haha.
i think i was quite loud.
laughing and getting so highly excitable.
edwin was saying whenever i laugh like mad those people around will stare.
then he'll try to make me shut up.
wahahaha.
crap.
i need more control.

played around 1 plus hour of pool.
then edwin sent us to city hall mrt.
hehe.
got car damn shiok.
but i think i'll most prob be a lousy driver.
teeheehee.

hope that doesnt mean more tough work.

wahaha.
way too loud.
eeeks.
whoever.
next time please. seriously shut me up before anything.

dire désolé

saying sorry.
yes the title is french.

what does it take to say sorry.
in fact, it just takes a mouth.
honestly, that's what i think.
gone is the time when it takes pride or whatever else nonsense to say sorry.
now. all it takes seems like a mouth.
the word. can simply come out of the mouth as and when one pleases.
isnt it so?

sorry.
the word that has lost its meaning.
losts its power.
the power to mend a broken relationship.
the power to heal a broken heart.
the power to bring a smile to a broken soul.

what is the point of saying sorry when there's no meaning in it?
what is the point of saying sorry when it's just for to sake of saying it?
what is the point of saying sorry when nothing's gonna change?

i realised.
it's not just others saying sorry.
i doubt it bothers much to me any more.
it's also when i say sorry.
i think i have lost the time when saying sorry comes from within.
truly feeling sorry.
what is it like?

instead of saying.
oops sorry.
oh sorry about that.
erm. sorry i'll get it done right away.

why not think.
i'm sorry.
say it and mean it.

i guess it's time we seek the true meaning to words.
that we so often use.
yet we so often abuse.

lazy

slept at 6 plus am again.
eeeeee.
haha. was watching xun qin ji.
in the end woke up only close to 4 pm.
wahahhaha.
zhien is a lazy pig.

the days of the week. i keep messing it up.
the problem with holidays la.
i just get super absent-minded.
argh.

today went fish&co.

so it was oc outing plus ryan.
haha.
supposed to meet at dhoby ghaut mrt station.
so met linda and chiewlin there.
linda got her hair highlighted.
hehe. cool. but she keeps saying it's ah lian.
i dont think so lor.
if it's ah lian, i've been an ah lian for months.
haha.
uncle ryan was so blur. he was at the nel station control but we were at the north-south line station control.
end up deciding to meet at fish&co itself.

had dinner at the fish&co. the glass house one.
first time there.
and the place is really nice.
haha. nice ambience i guess.
there's a live band playing.
but not loud music though.
so it's just nice for dinner. and made the place kind of lively.
failed to get the seats upstairs though cos they were reserved.
ryan said the seats upstairs are nicer.
awwww.
maybe next time can jio people go there experience the upstairs seat.
wahaha. i'm mad.

four of us shared the seafood platter for two and fish and chips.
hehe. my all-time fav.
while we were there they sang the birthday song twice. haha.
so dumb.
cos there were people celebrating b'day.
so we got to hear the funny way the guy sang the bday song.
wahhaha.

after that headed for ps.
had secret recipe cakes for dessert.
hehe. so sinful.
i ought to start working out le.
lalalala.
i ordered almond coffee cos it said popular demand.
but it ended up not so fantastic.
so sad.
linda got chocolate banana and chiewlin took chocolate fudge.
yummy~
uncle ryan said he dont like desserts so end up ordering ice blended mocha or sthg.
even complained that it was so sweet.
-.-

after that we were so darn full.
but got nothing to do.
haha. end up deciding to walk to orchard and see what we can do.

the group of us talked along the way.
and so darn awkward.
cos dont really know how to include ryan into the conversation.
paiseh leh.
so walk walk walk all the way to orchard.and then decided to go take train back.

wahaha.
so dumb. hehe.
cos we could have took the train from ps there ah.
but end up walking to orchard mrt then take train.

MIA mode off

back back!
apparently nobody misses me.
wahahaha.
my tag-board is so darn quiet.

got back only about an hour ago.
shall just try to sum up the 3-day trip with as few words as possible.

day 1 - 21st nov

boarded the coach at 6.30 am.
the bus ride was estimated to take 6 hrs long.
but ended up being 8 hrs or so.
only reached our hotel at 2 plus pm.

basically simply checked-in then got ready to walk around.
first we settled our lunch at this place. i forgot the name.
but yea. the food is damn ex.
rm12 for a plate of roasted pork rice. -.-
gosh.

went to buy tickets for harry potter show at 10.15 pm.
hehe. yes i watched harry potter there.
and it's darn cool.

after that my sisters, cousin and i went walking around to take a look at what we can do.
shopped around a little.
sis decided that we should go for the haunted adventure and ripley's believe it or not.
hehe.
the haunted adventure totally freaked me out. i shant mention the details.
it's just totally horrible.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
ripley's believe or not is a really fascinating place.
had so many exhibits of the most extraordinary things in the world.
stories of people with the weirdest skill in the world.
many many optical illusion tricks.
a really eye-opener.

one of the small little exhibits there


me at the ripley's believe it or not

after that went walking around and settled dinner.
went back to the hotel room for a rest before heading off for harry potter movie.

movie there cost only rm12.
which is so much cheaper that in singapore.
hehe.
and harry potter is good. wahahaha. i like. ;)

after the movie was bed-time. hehe.

day 2 - 22nd nov

breakfast was buffet at the hotel.
rather ok.
haha. i think there are better food around.
hehe.

after breakfast went to walk around first.
cos we were thinking of going to the outdoor theme park to play.
so had to let the food get digested.
or else we'll puke on the rides. ewww. hehe.


a pic i took with mum. early in the morning. we looked so tired. hehe.


a pic i took with my younger sis while my elder sis and cousin shopped.

went to the ticketing booth wanted to buy tickets to the outdoor theme park.
end up most of the rides were closed due to the wet mist.
the weather there was really cold and misty.

in the end we decided not to get tickets to the outdoor theme park.
sigh. how unlucky.
the rides look so thrilling. exciting and fun.
eeeeeeee.

wanted to go to the snow world. but then the ticket only allows entry for half an hr.
cannot bring in camera so only can purchase photos that they take for us.
so end up we thought that it wasnt worth the money.
i secretly took a picture of what is inside from outside of the place.


snow world

shopped around a little.
ying got sthg for herself from the fos store.
hehe.

in the end we decided to seek the other alternative.
which is to try the indoor theme park.
haha.
went on this 4d motion picture ride.
the animation was not fantastic but it was the first time i experience 4d motion picture rides.
haha. so when there's water splashed in the animation water is really splashed on you.
haha. cool right?
sis said those that she got to try at universal studios were so much better.
cool~

went on the indoor roller coaster.
tried the bumper car rides.

after that we went for baskin robins.
this really cool ice-cream shoppe.
haha. it's a brand of ice-cream unavailable in singapore.
so yea. went to get ice-cream despite the fact that genting is a cold place.
hehe.
and the ice-cream is really super nice. the flavours are interesting.
yippie. i love ice-cream.


me, my cousin and my sis with baskin robins ice-cream

after that met mum and aunt in the hotel room.
took the cable car down to another place.
haha. and the cable car ride was damn cool.
haha. i love the cable car ride.
for some reason.

went to shop around at this wholesale like place.
got loads of food.
mum crazily bought so much.
hehe.
sis, ying and i were so tired having to lug so much stuff that she bought.
haha. but she bought them for us la.
so i guess it makes perfect sense for us to help carry.
hehe.

after that was buffet dinner at the hotel.
and seriously.
the food sucks.
haha. totally.
the rice was hard.
the tofu was way too blend.
the vege couldnt be chewed.
the sotong wasnt qq one.
the dessert wasnt sweet enough.
only the tea was ok.
haha.
so all in all. dinner wasnt nice.

after dinner went to shop around for gifts.
and honestly i didnt bring a lot of money.
so sorry to those i never get gifts for.
i'll try get really nice christmas presents!

after shopping went back to the hotel room cos i was damn shag.
then started to feel breathless.
damn shit lor.
haha. i actually fell sick on the 2nd day of the trip.
thank goodness the trip was a short one.

managed to sleep well after troubling my mum for the whole night just to take care of me.
and then woke up healthy. :)
that's of course.
or else i wouldnt be here blogging.

day 3 - 23rd november

woke up late.
cos i needed all the rest i can get.
still had swollen eyes when i woke up.
and my head was darn heavy.
but thankfully it got much better.

went for buffet breakfast at the hotel again.
it's free what. why not.
haha.

then after that walked around.
bought some stuff for myself.
hehe.
and then after that went back to check out of the hotel room first.
deposited our stuff at the bell counter.

after that was arcade.
hehe.
tried the daytona.
but yea. stupid.
tried the ddr.
it totally didnt worked.
the screen shows cleared when nothing has been done.
wohoo.
tried this bash up thingy.
one whole row of sensors didnt work.
the only more fascinating one is photo hunt.
wahahha.
i love singapore arcades better.
ehehehe.

after that we went to starbucks.
hehe. i drank tall cappucino.
lovely and warm for the weather.
hehe.

after that got ready to get up on the bus back home.


took a pic with sis and mum

slept so much on the bus ride back.
hehe.
and now i'm back in singapore.

home sweet home.
really nice to be back.
cos ultimately i feel safer here.
more familiar with the stuff here.

in general.
the trip was ok la.
at least it was a good break off stuff.

but yea. i think i put on weight after eating so much.
and the complexion is getting from bad to worse.
eeks.

but i cant imagine life without hp. cos mine wasnt with roaming.
and then life without internet. i had my laptop but no connection.
life without enough money. haha. didnt convert enough ringgit.
and nice food. of course there are nice food in m'sia but it's a pity i didnt get to try.
life without people who can understand what you talking. the people dont really have good command of english. i had a hard time figuring out if i should try speaking in some other language.

zhien is home sweet home.
christmas soon.
more fun to come along.
hehe ;)

the hair spa

yes. treat your hair.
a wonderful haircut once in a while.
it's a luxury.
i always think that it's shuang to get a haircut.
once in a while.

a change of style.
a little thinning here and there.
addition of colours. dye or highlight.
it's the nice treat to your hair.
imo that is.
i enjoy going for a haircut once in a while.

thinned my hair.
changed a haircut.
now it's layered cos of the thinning.
and the back is shorter all the way to the front.
so kind of like an inverted v if i comb my hair all neatly to the back.
it's now a little shorter.
weird description.
haha. but yea. i like my hair thin.
feels lighter.
haha.

might consider highlighting another colour.
gosh obsession.
haha. but yea. the prev colour is getting lighter.
wonder what is the next kind of spa treatment i should give my hair.
haha. to highlight. or to rebond.
haha. both cost a bomb i guess.

splendid.
the luxury of treating your hair to some goodie.
haha. and the hairdresser is good.
so glad to get my hair done at the reasonably good price.
haha.

here's a pic of me with my new hairstyle.
but yea. i doubt can see a lot of difference.
haha.

真爱

记忆像游乐园般精采 我们像对恋人相爱
幸福是应该不会是当然 只怪我们都太贪玩
思念像云朵般柔软 而你静静躺在我胸怀
我像是任性走失的小孩 紧紧抱着孤单

我们都曾经明白 也都曾经遗憾
错过了爱 就难以重来
不要害怕去坦白 怕容易被你宠坏
忘了该与不该
到哪里找回真爱 找回所有遗憾
爱的真相 就能够解开
多给我一些片段 拼凑未知的意外
失去记忆最初的爱

我是被你遗忘的精采 你却带着记忆离开
心跳是我们唯一的呼喊 提醒我们曾经相爱
你的笑像阳光般灿烂 小心翼翼藏在我口袋
在我脆弱时给了我温暖 谁也无法取代

但我们都曾明白 也曾经遗憾
一旦错过 就难以重来
不要害怕去坦白 怕又容易被宠坏
忘了该与不该
到哪里找回真爱 找回所有遗憾
爱的真相 就能够解开
多给我一些片段 拼凑未知的意外
失去记忆最初的爱

the lyrics to the song zhen ai.
if cant view it properly. switch to unicode and you'll be able to see the chinese text. ;)
haha. i find it nice.
from the show wang zi bian qing wa.
dont really have the time to catch it on tv.
but yea. it's a hilarious show.
and really nice too.

there are more nice songs too in the ost! hehe.
songs songs more songs!

differing views.different stands

i usually dont see a point in copying chat histories on my blog
but yea. i dont know how else to express my total displeasure.
i just had some argument with a friend over msn.
dont really call that an argument.
but we had strong opposing stands about studying.
yes it's dumb.
but precisely it's dumb i dont understand why i shouldnt be allowed to keep to my own studying methods.

here goes the conversation.

him: listen to me for fm
me: seriously
him: stop doing tutorial qns
me: i dont think i'll complete mugging by tues!
him: read thru then go straight for the exam papers
me: i havent started with fm at all
me: at all
me: i dont even think of tutorial questions yet la
me: i havent touched fm since that quiz
him: have faith in ur ability u have been doing well consisitentlyy
me: argh
him: neither have i
me: aiya. i try to la
him: go do the exam paper
him: tmr
me: i cannot confirm with you all
me: seriously
me: i dont know how much i can complete la
him: the qns test ur fundamentals to the max
me: if cannot you two do le then you all study together ok la
him: the exams tell u dunno wad u dunno
him: the exams tell u wad u dunno
me: i also know but then i seriously will have to look through the textbook at least what
him: i saying it for ur sake
me: if i cant even finish dealing with the textbook
him: hahaha
me: there's nothing i can do
him: tts the prob w gers
him: i cant convince them
me: aiya. whatever la.
him: that the text bk is not the most impt
him: so many girls i persuade tell me must finish text bk
him: 1st
him: if not bu shuang
him: no confidence do exam paper

ok basically. this guy here is telling me to meet up with for studying with another classmate of mine.
tues one day before the paper.
to look through the past year paper.
the thing is. right now. i have yet to start on studying the subject.
so i insist that i should look through the textbook and study it properly.
get my basics right.
before i jump in to attempt those questions which the 2 of them emphasized is much harder than those we see in tutorials.

then shouldnt it be more justified that i get to work on getting my basic understanding right before i try them. or else i would be like suicidal attempt?

yes i am stressed enough.
and they are trying to control my studying schedule.
oh damn it.
for goodness sake.
he said "go do the exam paper tmr"
like huh? i havent even started studying.
you want me to get it done tmr?!
shit it la.
freaking hell.

and it's wat "tts the prob w gers"
omg. so it's girls that just cant forsake their textbooks.
to hell la. dont stereotype me.
and dont freaking come and tell me all these nonsense as if you understand that all the girls feel this way.
and seriously it only make sense that i study with the textbook. what else?
i'm not born to know the facts right at my fingertips.
omg. and it's the only prob with girls? i dont think so. goodness. try letting me burn your textbook then. since you dont see a need for it.
gosh.

i'm freaking stressed out.
and dont come and freaking give me nonsense.
and dont freaking try to control me.
gosh. i am anti-social. fine? i do things my way.
and i seriously dont see how wrong i am at choosing to look through the textbook first.
isnt it good to get the foundation firm and proper? what's with exam papers?
they dont repeat every year. yes you get yourself prepared.
but how prepared can you be by just doing the exam papers and not reading your textbook?

if you acknowledge that both are impt. yes i would still be more convinced.
but please dont tell me i need to not depend on my textbook.
i spend over 40 bucks on some nonsense and useless trash is it?
like what the hell?

let me study the way i want to.
let me do what i want.
my grades.
yes if you do exam papers and you get your A. i can only say.
wow. congrats.
if i studied my textbook only and flunk my subject. what else can i say except.
oh man. i'll need to do this module again next semester.
then it's my prob.

but i really think it's high time i get myself on the textbook first.
and not that all-time precious exam paper from your perspective.

out of here.
darn it.
guys. why do some of them just insist on their way of doing things.
so much for trying to dominate.

oh but so sorry.
i am not some creature that is easy to tame and domesticate.

for one thing. i was born a tigress. ;)
just too bad.

ultimate by lindsay lohan

you're the kind of friend who always bends
when i'm broken
like remember when
you took my heart and put it back together again

i've been wasting time with clueless guys
but now it's over
let me tell you why i'm through
i've met someone new
just like you

chorus
you're it
you're the ultimate
it's automatic
i'm sure of it
no lie
so dont even try
to tell me that you're not the guy
cos i've been waiting all my life
for someone just like you
but you're it
you're the ultimate, you

you're the kind of guy whose hands and mind
send shivers
up and down my spine
you took my heart and put it back together again

you're the kind of guy that blows my mind
but now it's my turn
you've been right in front of me
everything i need
why didnt i see

chorus

repeat chorus

you're it
you're the ultimate, you

major statistics crap

if you need to see how obsess i am with statistics right now
read on

the following is what you call multiple regression
something kind of a big deal in my statistics module for this semester
no guarantee that what i mention here is 100% accurate on the theory itself
i must admit that i am not strong at this topic
it's just a thought that came to mine that I could write something nonsensical out of it

haha
so here goes

multiple regression is a method for using data to sort out the predictive value of the competing predictors (this is from my textbook)
which actually kind of mean that analysis done based on this model can be used to predict a outcome in question based on relevant variables

some definition of the basic terms before i go into the crap model i've come up with

dependent variable
the variable that is being predicted
in this case
happiness level in love
so to say a lower value indicates greater unhappiness in love

independent variables
the variables used to make the prediction
in this case
one. frequency of quarrels
two. number of times you cry over him/her
three. number of sms-es you send to the him/her each day
four. number of times you meet him/her each week
five. number of things he/she has done to make you smile
the list might go on
but yea i shall stop at this
good to be able to generate more independent variables and then after that test out to see how useful each one is
yes dont worry there's a way to test them
of course in business terms it's not good to have too much variables at the model that you come up with at the end cos it's costly to maintain
and yea. of course more problems like correlation comes in when you have too many variables
which means that you violate the assumption that the independent variables are independent of each other
unrelated in simpler terms
plus. a total idiot at love here cant really generate much more pts to mention
so after that. data collection
get results of those independent variable from a sample
say 25 guys and 25 girls in a relationship and no guy or girl are in the same relationship
just to reduce the possibility of the independent variables being related
and then
use computer program
yes use a computer program
who does plotting of data of such a huge scale without a computer program
cos the more variables there are the more dimensions needed if i were to plot a graph
which means i need to construct something 6 dimensional - the number of independent variable plus 1

of course the lovely computer program will generate you data in a matter of seconds
after which do an analysis of the table of results they give you
which is a seriously huge chunk of information to interpret
so hire a professional to do so
hehe

so you'll end up with some equation which might look like this
the values given are arbitrary
i have yet to do a real analysis of the whole crap i came up with
happiness level in love = 0.621 - 0.428 frequency of quarrels - 0.124 number of times you cry over him/her + 0.515 number of times you see him/her each week + 0.087 number of things he/she did to make you smile
and then since you see that 'number of sms-es you send to him/her each day' not in the equation
that just means that it's not a useful variable to include
in a sense it does not really help to make the model better at predicting the happiness level in love accurately

of course. to emphasize on quality control
there must be test done to see if assumptions are violated
and there's more theory
which i decided that I shall not go into
cos i think i'll blabber nonsense
and i already am

done reading
realized that you dont understand a single thing i’m writing
yes that's what i am studying about
just more business like and not this kind of nonsense theory
we do test on prediction of revenue and production costs
blah blah blah

yes it's confusing
but it's statistics
i love statistics
all except this darn part

cant wait for exams to be over
i hope i do well
hehe esp for statistics
ok. a darn long nonsense entry
i'm hopeless
yes i confused a lot of people
if you are still reading
you deserve a pat on the back
you actually can take all my nonsense hehe
and you are hopeless too *jokin'*

240-hr marathon

the start of the 10-day long exam period for me.
not really in the position to complain.
cos mine is considered rather short already.
there are people who have to go through 23 days of torture.
10 days a total of 240 hours.
gonna have to survive this brain-draining period of time.

good luck to everyone.
especially to myself.
hehe. yes. i want loads of luck.
been looking through the stuff for tmr's paper and beginning to feel as if i dont really know enough.
but well.
i'll have to try my best.

pray for an A.
hehe. not really.
work towards an A and pray for it too!
effort + luck

zhien. jia you jia you jia you!

chemical reaction

i feel as if i am..
a ticking time bomb
an erupting volcano
a highly unstable chemical substance

a highly exothermic reaction is just about to start
i guess
i hope not
but it seems impending

getting increasingly irritated
maybe cos i am stressed
i dont deny
exams are coming
i want fantastic results
and i am highly irritable

for goodness sake
stop pushing the limit
cos my limit is super low now
quit making me feel pissed
cos i feel pissed easily now

man i dont understand
some people are super dependent on others
i am not an answer key
so dont ask if i have done any past year papers and want to check answers with me
i have yet to complete my preparations for every single thing for the exams
so stop getting me to clarify your doubts
honestly your problem isnt my problem
yes it sounds nasty
i am not always that free
i cant teach every single day
to help you with your work and kill myself at the end of the day
i cant possibly help you when i need to help myself too
honestly i am not obliged to do anything to help
in the first place i did not make any promise
neither do i have to make any
quit saying that i have done my work so far and so i should be ok with exams
cos it isnt
every part matters
to me it does
whatever
call that ambitious
i want everything done properly
i want to be able to really do well
and maintain doing well

ah stop it
i want peace quiet concentration

dont people have anything better to do then to ask
how much have you studied
so what if i havent studied a lot
so what if youve studied more than me
so what if i have studied more than you
do i look like i care
how do you explain this
if youve studied enough why ask me
if youve wanted a better answer ask the teacher why ask me
if youve put in more effort the answers are in the textbooks why ask me i am reading the same book as you

dont think that i am some superhuman
i dont have 100% good grades all the time
i crave for good grades
i want to work hard for good grades
want to get your grades
work for it yourself
dont make me work with you for yours
at the expense of mine

it doesnt make sense
it doesnt seem right

self-interest first
goodness
this is reality
and this is the freaking irritated me

differences

differences. divergence.

what is it like...
to feel as if a friend is a friend yet not a friend?
to feel as if you like a person yet dislike a person?
to feel as if someone is a role model yet a competitor that you are dying to get rid?
to feel as if you feel for someone yet not really so?

absurd.
crazy.
totally schizophrenic.

i wonder what is wrong with me.
maybe i'm just weird.
maybe i'm just stressed.
maybe it's just one of my extreme mood swings.
hmmm.

feel like drifting away. yet it's weird to.

what is happening?
something that i need to figure out.
maybe all along i've been so eager to make the negatives positive.
maybe all along i've been making myself think that what is wrong might be right.
maybe all along i've been telling myself that that is the way it is when it's not.
maybe all along i've been trying to make myself like all the dislikes.

maybe all along i've been deceiving. not just myself but everyone else.
hypocrite. damn. i hate this.
