post-bleus.
well. i guess i can just continue being sad and disappointed... or i can just fall back on the happy knowledge that yeah, i do have a lot of support from many people in chorale, and if i didn't get the post.. well all that's bruised is my pride i suppose.. and everyone can use a little humility sometimes. so thanx all of you who supported me and offered all the little things to help me through yesterday and today. (: thanx punchie gurl for the chocs... haha. they're really really nice. and so are you. ^^" and thanx loads and loads to my angel ^^" yay. bestest angel in the whole world. i dunno whether my guess of your identity is correct larh.. but yeah. it's okay, you're still the best angel anyone can ever have! so thanx everyone again. whee. okay i need to do my work now. ciao!

The Old Saying

The old saying's wrong.
You don't fall among the stars
When you miss that lunar stop.
Gravity just pulls you back to earth
At 9.81 ms ^-2 (that's to 3 s.f.)

Well there are clouds there, of course
To cushion that long fall down.
But little wisps of nothingness do little
When terminal velocity kicks in.

I guess i'll just enjoy the long ride down
(Go with the flow, as they say)
And while i'm falling i'll calculate
Just how big that impact crater will be,
And how many pieces
I might be in.

Crash And Burn - Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone


it's quite an old song, but i think it's really really really sweet and nice and everything. i think one of the worst things that has ever happened was the breakup of savage garden. cuz i think darren hayes can't do anything by himself. okay.
(don't really feel like saying anything more. hmm.)

mmMMhmm.
i realise i have many many unknown contacts on my msn list. i also have many many people who never ever sign in. but oh well who cares. i'll just leave it in its messy state. it isn't important anyway and i don't know why i just blogged about it.

the weather's been getting cooler recently. it used to be hot but now it's not really anymore. well for those of you who know about me you'll probably decipher tonnes and tonnes of information from those two sentences. but oh well. it's true i guess. haha. okay i feel oddly semi-high right now.

um. yesterday yesterday. yesterday was interesting. i don't know whether i should blog about it. we'll see.

um. what else. should i talk about opening ceremony prac/ora useless thing? um. i think i shall. haha. um. well basically we got to skip like. 2 days of lessons and just stone around in the parade square and rot. sounds like real fun right. well. that's the problem when everyone else in the stupid programme has some problem that has to be settled but you (chorale as a whole) don't. you just waste your time doing nothing. oh well but i guess i get to spend some time with some of my chorale mates.. so it wasn't really say bad or anything. you know. bonding and all. shopping. um. okay just ignore that word. ladeedum nobody saw anything. of course the bad thing was that money seems to leak out of my wallet somehow. i think i spent like. 100+, close to 150. ouch. well not on those 2 days only larh. like. for the week. and on sat and sun. and today. which is mon.

caught ice age 2 on friday. really really cool thing which didn't really make sense but was super funny and super touching and everything. so yeah. it was basically super. well worth the 8 bucks. actually it would even have been worth 9.50 i think. and no it isn't just because i got to spend more time with my chorale mates. heh.

saturday was just weird. morning thing was quite okay. glad avonne was happy with her present. i think it was one of my more inspired wrappings. but now i have problems cuz i don't know if i can top that anymore. i think it's like. the pinnacle of my wrapping achievements or something. i shall see. haha. sorry all the other april birthday dudes if your present isn't as exquisitely wrapped. oh well that was just like self-praise but nevermind. didn't feel well after lunch so was convinced by ivee to go home and sleep which i did, for like. 5 hours. woke up for dinner then fell asleep again. was in a semi-conscious state and replied like. 2 msgs to av. before dropping off to oblivion again. woke up at 5 the next day (sun). not really the best experience. oh well. wait someone just msged me. bah. horrible classmate asking about homework. bleah. (ok i'm sorry classmate.)

sunday. well i did say i wouldn't touch sunday.

um. monday was okay. that's today. went to school to do work and semi-succeeded. got drafted into genevieve/zhuoyi/random person/random other person's campaign group as unpaid manual labour for about half an hour or so. not a very fun experience. oh well. the after-campaign party that i was promised better be good. haha. after that went to eat and then went to swim. the sun was kinda perfect for a while but after like. 10 minutes it ran away and hid behind the clouds and summoned up all the thunder and lightning (which luckily was still quite far off). slept practically the whole way home on the bus. and i'm eating dinner now and blogging. and my hokkien mee is getting cold. so i should stop. whee.

eek i can't put the silly quiz thing in cuz it screws up my template. anyway for all those interested i am actually a nymph. hmm. and i'm artfully naked. okay just ignore that. it sounded wrong. i'm thoughtful caring and hopeful but also possessive lonely and lost. lost!? bah. i suppose. um. okay i just thought of something really odd which i WILL SO NOT BE WRITING HERE.

no riddles, please.
haha. dad woke up at 5 again instead of 6. anw i did have some work to do (which i don't seem to be bothering about anyway) so i got up as well. can't get myself to do work so i'm here blogging.

anyway. i hate it when people beat around the stupid bush and talk in riddles. makes my head swim for one. hint hint here, a trace of something else there, expecting people to put the stupid puzzle together. well i'm fine with puzzles, but i actually need all the pieces? or maybe i'm just reading everything wrong. which really happens most of the time. i suppose that's why i always find physics/math easier than lit. cuz it's either there or not there. no "if you argue your point correctly, as long as the marker can see it and can agree with it and it's not too far out of point and etc etc then it's fine". and i'm just quite sick of trying to read into anything now. cuz it seriously isn't the right time for this at all.

okay so that's all i have to say for now.
