i love being back. have i mentioned that before? well i should mention it again. i love being back. i woke up at 8 plus today, it's kinda getting to be a habit to wake up early now, yippee. so i was watching the merdeka parade and it was totally tacky, but i had to watch la cause one of my friends was performing. so there i was watching tv, with a bunch of mats dancing in unsightly costumes, glaring even, and my friend's item didn't come up. it was supposed to be a private college combined thingy. well, maybe i missed it.
slept in the afternoon and went out with my ex-roommates in the evening to baskin robbins, something they don't have in singapore anymore. baskin robbins was having a merdeka promotion today and their ice cream was going at 31 % off, so we bought two pints and sat there licking our spoons. it's really nice not to be thingking about exams for awhile. was also trying to fill out my harvard and penn application forms too but they're really confusing, like there's so many parts to it and i think i'm supposed to send them seperately, like what??
so i've also got this new comments thingy, like the one lance has, hope it'll be used :) . pretty sad to be leaving for singapore tomorrow, but like my friend says, just three more months then i'll be able to do anything i like. till then, i shall dream of November 29.

today was a pretty good day, for eating. had authentic dimsum for lunch and nasi lemak for dinner, yum. then went out with a friend at midnight to Bangsar but it was freaking crowded and we couldn't find a parking space, and by the time we did, Haagen Daz, the place we were headed to was closed. So tough luck.
Been surfing really hard to try look for universities in the US but they all seem pretty similar to me, especially the christian ones, but i have this strong feeling that i'll end up in a christian college, not that i don't want to. fees are cheaper, more scholarships and easier to get in, no need for all your tutors to write something about you and that kinda crap.
coming home was a really good decision. i'm really relaxed, i've sort of cleared some uni application stuff up with my dad, managed to chill at home with the tv and the computer, seriously i am deprived. my friend came to visit me this evening. it was really nice meeting him again and recalling fond memories, but i have come to accept the fact that times change, people change and situations change and it's up to you to make the best of any situation. i think i'm really happy with my life right now, must thank God for that.
watched austin powers yesterday. my bro said it sucked but i thought it was pretty funny but some puns were repeated so often they suffered overkill, esp ones referring to genitlia. the subtitles part was the funniest, i totally relate to that cause i'm always reading subtitles when watching chinese/cantonese movies. ahaha. and the credits in the first five minutes were smashing.
i wonder if anyone misses me back in singapore.
by the way, do you like the blog's new look?

just found out how to add photos to this journal

i'm facing a dilemma. i don't know which journal to use, this one or the one at easyjournal. easyjournal looks really cool but it's not user friendly. hais....
so i had my maths exam today but it was totally horrid cause i left around 20 marks blank and another 10 marks or so wrong..... really have to pull up my socks and SCORE for paper 2.
and did i mention that i'm going home tomorrow? yippee!!
'i've been mugging pretty hard lately. like i've been in the dunman hostel's study room 80% of my waking hours there, trying to study. it's been paying off i think, been feeling quite okay for my papers, if not for the fact that lance finds them easier....hmpf
well i guess that's all i got to say right now. maybe later.

i've got a new journal at ultraman.easyjournal.com

here is something interesting.

you know, i forgot to tell you guys something. over the past week, i've become engrossed in neomania, that is, the obsession with neopets. i know, it's yucky, but then blame it on lanet and krit for giving me so many neopoints and stuuff that i just can't get enough of it now. i just have to log in everyday to collect my interest at the bank, spin the wheel of excitement in faerieland, visit coltzan's shrine, play with the fruit machine, get a slice of omelette.....i know it's pathetic, especially with prelims and As drawing nearer.
today, i studied with lanet and nardev at starbucks. we were there for about 5 hours and all i got done was demand and supply, its applications and elasticity. hopeless. i'm going to do physics later. hope i'm better at that.
lately, i've been thinking, do my friends see a difference in me? as in, do they see that i'm different, cause of my belief in god. you tell me, i don't know. but i'd really like to believe that yeah, people actually see that i am pretty different.
good night.

hey there, i'm back with more griping.
i just hate it when people laugh really loudly just to show that they get the joke. like today, during cook's lesson, he cracked a few jokes, but sometimes, i think that's his way of talking. anyway, he was doing the whole routine about michael jackson being black then white, because motown was starting to hire white performers instead of black, and the people were laughing uncontrollably i tell you, and not cause they got the motown part. 50 bucks say they don't even know what motown is. i mean, mj is so done, their sense of humour is worse than mine.
i'm starting to get a bit worried about my sense of humour. today, i was hysterical when i told rio that 'Ray Bradley loves you'. i think it's a gas to say something like that, like Keynes loves you so you should love Keynes back haha.
over the weekend, i went for a missions conference and i was really touched. it's strengthened my resolve to be a missionary in the near future. but in the mean time, since i'm not in tajikistan, i might as well witness to you guys right? so be prepared....haha

what do you do when one of your closest friends picks another of your close friend over you? (hypothetical question, in any situation)

hey yan, welcome back to the blogger community. really missed reading your blog when i'm bored in school with nothing to do. really lifts my spirits.
it has come to my attention over the weekend that i am a very boring person. okay maybe not boring, quirky but not articulate. incoherrent to a point. i shall start organizing my thoughts properly and be funny. i'm not lance though so don't get your hopes up high.
also, over the weekend, i've come to realize that i'm a very unique person. i mean i can identify with most people but still i am not like them in most ways. for example, i'm pretty girly, but that's just a character trait right? if everyone acted macho then it would be a very boring world to live in. i'm not trying to justify my actions tho', i don't need to. also i'm full of ideas, and i'm quite enthusiastic about doing new things every day. it's just that after a bit, i get bored and then i try to find more new stuff to do and leave the old ones unfinished. i think i'm quite approachable too, and i crack lame and corny jokes all the time, not because that's me but to break the ice, loosen the tension ya know. okay i've got this really good one that may yee told me: what's the mean of lee? don't know? ans: leeba !! har har har.

what do you do when it's three thirthy and you're in school trying very hard to study for a maths common test you'll be taking on the next day? you go to the library multimedia lab or whatever it's called and check out the imac. really cool stuff this is. of course, if i fail tomorrow's common test, there's something for me to blame, cool huh?
