hmmm okay i'm quite happy today. haha. first home win for arsenal! okay so they did take a while to score but it kinda looks like they're getting a little back to their old good selves ^^" and lampard scored his penalty! haha okay that's good for him. and he scored the other goal too which wasn't too bad. but i still think it looked a little shabby. burrh.right so before this becomes the third soccer entry in a row. i managed to (finally) finish that awful sept hols math revision ex, which took me like 20 sheets of paper (yes i know, poor trees). can't imagine all the frustration and crap that i went through just doing it. but i think i really need to go over a few of the questions again, esp those that i took hours (well, not always literally) just to solve ><" i am so dreading that prospect.
besides that i went through othello and hopefully i can remember most of what i've scribbled down, cuz i really need to be moving on to heart of darkness. anw an interesting quote from one of the othello introductions.. "when we look into iago's heart we find, at the end, that we are looking into the HEART OF DARKNESS" errr okay. so the lit texts are kinda interlinked eh. nevermind.
and i went through econs. market failure and govt intervention. and i have a page of healthcare notes. so they better come out k! although i wouldn't mind something else like.. smoking. okay nevermind.
watched v for vendetta today! well yes in case you're asking i DID spend almost all my time at night at the tv. which wasn't really a bad thing larh i guess.. haha. it was such a cool show lorh i can't believe i missed it in the cinema. it's like. 1984 meets phantom of the opera meets errr. some action show i can't think of the title right now. yup. quite nice. i think the last part was really really cool. the wachowski brothers really know how to make films.
and for the last thought of the day.. soccer skills are really quite like dancing. smile! (=

grand slam sunday. hmmm i don't know why i'm watching so much soccer this close to promos but i think it was well worth it haha. okay first things first...ARSENAL WON!! ((: *bounce bounce* okay anyway. it was pretty good. and rosicsky and fabregas were brilliant as usual. well for fabregas anyway, since rosicsky's new. but i like him. wahaha. okay. nevermind. but seriously, against man u at old trafford it was pretty unbelievable. jens lehmann was awesome too. i mean, how many keepers can save shots with their faces! wow. well, ouch, actually, but wow too. haha. i'm surprised he didn't break anything. and the last couple of saves to keep man u out, esp the one against solskjaer. yep yep. okay i'm pretty happy now. can you tell? (:
well on the other match.. ballack sent of for "violent conduct" (lolx that was quite a funny justification by the 4th official) and drogba with a beauty of a goal.. i need to learn how to do those things. haha. lampard and gerrard.. well not really great larh. sad for me, cuz the only reason i watch liverpool is for gerrard and the only reason i watch chelsea is for lampard.. haha. stupid gerard should have scored but nevermind i'll forgive him since i'm in such a nice happy mood now (:
hmmm i think that's all for today ^.^ sorry all you non-soccer fans (:

i'd give up forever to touch you. went swimming today. which was probably the highlight of the day? haha. first time to the club in ages. looks like the renovation's proceeding quite well. looks quite pretty with all the glass all around.. yep. haha.think i really need to work on muscle endurance.. seems like i can't swim too many laps without needing to stop. or maybe i just swim too fast. must learn to pace myself properly i guess. oh well. i've got the dec hols to work on it (=
didn't do any work so far today (well i have my math in front of me now k so i'm trying :P) which isn't very good.. but i guess a r&r day was necessary. haha. even though i'm not sure why. i hardly do work anyway.
hmmm what else.
ooh finally found the song that i listened to on the radio some time back which was really really nice. haha. saw the mv on mtv.. was pretty cool. they showed 2 versions too! haha. the original by goo goo dolls and the one done by ronan keating. the goo goo dolls are just so great when it comes to lyrics and music. ah well. anyway seems like john rzenzik (lead singer with a cool surname) asked ronan keating to do the cover. cool. haha.
go here to view the ronan keating mv.. i think its pretty cool.. and the locations are really spectacular. shot in dubai! pity all we saw of dubai was the stupid airport. grr.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am..

humour me. okay i must admit that ever since coming home around 6 today i haven't done any work whatsover. but i did manage to do about 6 hours of rather productive work in school today so i'm pretty happy. heh. james lee says he's gonna be in school tmr.. maybe i should go join him lolx. couple of no-lifers in school on a sunday.anyway been reading humourous college stories (most of which have not been proven rue) for about 2 hours.. it started out as an innocent enquiry as to what was an "urban legend".. oh well. haha. but some of them are really quite funny. go read www.snopes.com for details. haha.
okay short update. bye.

for you i'd bleed myself dry. okay i dunno whether i've posted this before and don't really care if i have. haha. was reading whao's blog and came upon his full moon comment. and it kinda reminded me of it.Yellow - Coldplay
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow."
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to've done,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cuz you were all yellow,
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know,
For you I'd bleed myself dry,
For you I'd bleed myself dry.
It's true, look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine...
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do.
well these few days haven't really been productive.. haven't done much (as i dreaded, it really feels like the last week of june hols before cts). had some retreat thing today in school. which was quite meaningful i guess. haha. i can't really say it's a break from studies cuz i haven't really been studying.. oops. but well. it's a less guilty form of escapism i guess.. instead of warcraft 3 all day haha.
and somedays i just have no idea at all what you're trying to do..

Blind - Lifehouse
I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go

no one ever said it would be this hard.
this car was parked next to ours at orchard hotel last night (which is where i had my dinner aren't you all jealous now :P). my parents don't think it's hot. do you? i do. hurr. of course, at 460k (for the CLK55 AMG version) incl. COE, it's quite out of budget hurr. monthly installments of 6k? crazy. anyway.
dinner last night was good. filling. haha. had lots and lots of seafood, which was probably the only thing good there. oysters, drunken prawns, barbecued tiger prawns (which were actually kinda dry and poorly done).. yeah. actually the selection was quite lousy.. looks more targeted to foreigners who want to try local cuisine (since there were indian, malay and chinese sections, and the western section only had baked potatoes..) rather than for locals who want to eat well. but it was a good, filling meal. and they had decent ice-cream (movenpick). of course i didn't bother to look at the price-tag hurr.
haven't done much these couple of days. have been trying to keep regular hours (but i'm failing to today cuz i MUSTmustMust finish my summation tutorial for tmr's lesson), and sadly i can't seem to study in the afternoon, and only reaching late at night do i truly get "awake". oh well. maybe i'm fated to be a nocturnal creature. rarr.
played close to 2hrs of piano today. which really surprised me. cuz i can't usually stay on it for more than an hour. i never realised how beautiful fur elise was until recently.. it really gives you a lot of leeway with expression (well it does say poco moto :P), which is what i really like, rather than some piece with superstrict tempo. and the tune is just plain beautiful larh. heh. i think i'll keep all the fast and crazily exciting songs on hold for the moment since i can't seem to get my technique right (i tend to lock my arm which makes it really really tiring to play ><), and besides emo pieces are more my forte anyway (oh well what to do haha).
hurr what else what else..
i feel like taking a course on drums in the dec hols. not all the fake vocal percussion stuff (heh) but the real drum set drums. just for exposure rather than anything else. or maybe i should get a job instead. haha. but that's really thinking too far ahead. promos in 23 days. shucks. go me.
The Scientist - Coldplay
Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Comin' up tails,
Heads on the science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.
I was just guessin',
At numbers and figures,
Pullin' the puzzles apart.
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh on I rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' up tails,
Comin' back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.

the holidays cometh. and i have a horrible feeling that they'll be as useless as the one week i had after trip + YI. hmm. well at least this time i've done things a little differently.1) i have a mugging plan up. which started like. 1 1/2 weeks before the end of august. and which i am now lagging behind on. but not that badly i guess, since i didn't schedule that much on those days. hurr.
2) i have scrounged around for a nice-looking pocket file which i hope i'll use to organise my stuff properly now. instead of having it flutter all over the place. (:
3) i've tried to stop sleeping weird hours. which has kind of worked out a little i guess. feel less tired during the hot muggy afternoons. which doesn't mean i've put them to better use but NEVERMIND THAT.
well that's all i've done i think hurr. maybe i'll be able to do some other things along the way to make things better. and then i'll get decent results and i'll be happy ^.^
okay that's all (:
