Be good, and if you can't be good, be careful.
even the wrong words seem to rhyme

There's a song that keeps playing in my head. I can't find the right words to it. Maybe I never will.

Today I had dinner with Mel, Nic, Minnie, Lincoln, Apple, Jerlyn, Shannon and Cedric. We were celebrating Mel's, Apple's and my birthdays. Actually on hindsight I realised we should have celebrated Ced's as well, but oh well. :D More excuse to eat dinner again. I think we scared the China girls who were serving us. Mel called Lincoln Apple, Shannon and Jerlyn kept laughing at me for taking out the Happy Birthday stick while laughing, Ced purposely kept trying to make me laugh, Mel didn't try but still made me laugh anyway... The food was ok, the cake was good, but the company was the best. :)
Among tonight's conversation gems:
Nic: Chinese got saying. Can eat, got luck.
Mel: That's why he's so lucky.
Mel: Why you laugh your body must vibrate one?
Ced: You laugh from your diaphragm what.
Mel: (tries to laugh from diaphragm and fails)
Me: Apparently Mel laughs from somewhere else.
(Yes, Nic, I was typing that into my phone, that's why I looked like I was msging ppl -.-)
Anyway I'm tired so I'm going to sleep. Not much to say today.

Zane - I explained to you alr. And it's MY logic so I don't care. Btw Bennie is your second sister. LOL.
Crystal - Hello! Thanks for the tag :)
Michq - Nothing makes sense. What is sense? Lol.
My Love - Yes I love Genesis' name too. And his hair. Though he's quite annoying as a character. Always whinging about being the hero.

busy, busy, dreadfully busy
Sunday, January 17, 2010
I have been doing a lot of things. Like:
- playing Crisis Core nonstop (Zack FTW);
- watching
Green Day live in concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium (OMG F-ing AWESOME);
- meeting my playwright mentor who is mad and very good at cheering me up;
- entertaining 1E7 by doing different accents in class;
- getting to know my new favourite band, YHHB!
I have also been seeing Mel and Nic around a lot in school. Hurray for Mel and Nic!
Btw, Linda has declared herself my daughter (just so she can keep insulting me and asking me for money/cup noodle/dunowhat crap). So the birth order is Eugene, Linda, Cedric, Zane, Klinton, Melvyn, and Mervvyn. Good Lord, all these children, duno from where also.
I love Mdm Peng, you know? She is like the coolest teacher. And she really loves people with all her heart. I wonder if she is feeling better. She's not been well lately; if she teaches you Mandarin do ask her how she is when you see her. Good to show people concern =)

it's okay
Monday, January 11, 2010
It's okay if you don't want to tell me how you did. You have a right to privacy.
It's okay to be proud of yourself, proud of your grades. You worked hard for them.
It's okay if you didn't get what you wanted; the hurt and disappointment may burn now, but the scars will heal and you will learn to be better because of it.
It's okay if you did well but your friends didn't; don't be afraid to be happy for yourself.
It's okay if your parents aren't happy with what you got; eventually this is about you, not them, and you will make it anyway.
It's okay if you seek comfort from anyone but me; I still care for you and I always will.
It's okay. It's really okay.

the first day
Wednesday, January 6, 2010
Ille dolet vere, qui sine teste dolet. (He mourns honestly, who mourns without witness.)
On the first day I wrote this in my journal:
The only consolation about today is that 3 of my boys are on the front cover of the school diary: Kamal, Hiang Teck and Eugene. It's not the same anymore. I see them in my mind, where they'd use to walk, the way they'd accost me in the parade ground on my way to class. I don't think any of them are really aware of what they meant to me, and what their absence does to my life in YHSS.They have to be memories now, and I didn't think it would hurt so bad, but it does.Labels: first day
