2009 down in words

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:15:50 GMT

I just spent the past 2 hours putting the past year, since last Christmas, into words. The first time i ever did something like this, actually. Maybe it was just such an exciting year. So many significant events, so many significant people, so many many many significant experiences. I had a great year thus far. Tomorrow 12pm will be results, and that is probably the last chapter to pen down before, well, Christmas finally arrives.

i can't breathe

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:43:20 GMT

I am SICK oh me oh my SICKKK!! 2 days ago I had a fever then the fever subsided and I thought I was alright! But along came cough and runny nose. So I am coughing and blowing my nose ever so often. Hahaha and I keep sneezing. My poor lungs! And while waiting for brunch this afternoon I was HUNGRY and I coughed. It was such a horrid horrid feeling. Omg I hate being sick. I wanna go shopping in town or just walk around aimlessly whatever. I don't wanna cough, sneeze, blow my nose or be hungry anymore :( It sucks not being able to breathe and having to sleep with your mouth wide open you know. I had to do that last night. It's no joke!!!!!

I've got loads of foodstuff from Japan! Only some are for sharing, the rest are all MINEEEEEEEE. Muahaha. I wish I could have shopped more in Japan the stuff there are so pretty even though more expensive than the stuff I usually get in Sg. I like the weather i miss the weather. Even the cold wind hahaha! But I was grumpy for most of the trip cos I was always barely awake. Bus rides = sleep. Hahaha and we spent so much time on the roads. And didn't get to see cute Jap doods this time round. Need to go back go Disneyland next time. Hahaha the zoo this time... didn't have cute boys. There were only old Jap uncles drinking beer! Hahaha.

It's gonna be Christmas soon! Yay. But I'm sick. Ok, I shall try not to be sick anymore. I hate how the meds are making me feel (depressed and grumpy and moody and NEGATIVE) or maybe it's just be because I'm sour from not being able to walk around. Just as well though. I ought to rest and sleep because I haven't had much proper rest in the past month! So i shall get as much sleep as possible before I recover. Wanted to nap today but it was already too late for a nap so i shall go to bed soon. And wake up real late again tomorrow. Yay! I hope I get enough rest before school starts so I'll have energy to fight the 13 weeks of school and the final exams after that. I can do it!!!!! Force myself to rest and go to bed. Yes I can. Yes I will. That will be soon. Ahhh I'm procrastinating again but ok whatever. It's the holidays :D

it's time to start preparing for...

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 03:02:26 GMT

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

My most favouritest time of the year! Hahahaa. It's so joyous and happening! Not that mine is ever very Happening in the truest sense of the word. I just feel happening. That makes me happy and everything. And goodness, that's the only other time of the year when you go to church in Really Pretty Clothes because it's such a fantastic feeling to celebrate the birth of Christ :)

I love the lively spirit that is all around, or maybe, i've been successfully fooling myself to think so. But for this, i'm sooooooo glad that i am such a fool. And the spirit of giving omg. Haha i'm gonna be totally bankrupt soon?! I ought to stop agreeing/offering to buy people drinks, ice-cream, meals and whatnot. But it's such a lovely feeling and it's nice to have people's company and at the same time know that i'm making a difference (somewhat) in their lives. But pls don't con me into buying you drinks, ice-cream, meals and whatnot. Cos i'd might be only too glad to oblige and uh. I'm a poor student trying to survive on my Meagre Earnings and NO POCKETMONEY. Thanks ttly! Hahahaha.

I've been... slacking off writing Christmas cards. Because Contract kinda got in the way! Hahaha but i've never appreciated the feeling of doing Nothing this much before. And it's only just begunnnnnnn and i shall enjoy it because it'll end only too soon. Meanwhile, ENJOY ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS <3 Share the love and the joy because the world is truly such a beautiful place.

yumyum dinner yumyum

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:01:18 GMT

Contract is less than 24 hours away! To be exact, dinner, a good night's sleep and breakfast away. And of course, lots of contract mugging in between. Lots lots lots. I'm having trouble memorising what each case stands for :( But i must snap out of whatever I'm wallowing in, cos it seems like i'm wallowing for the sake of it?! Like, i don't know why i'm sad anymore. And since i don't, i must be happy! :D I took an excursion to the kitchen. Mommy had prepared my dindinz for me before she brought sister darling out to watch Robert Pattinson. Hahaha pls, don't be mistaken alright? My sister doesn't have that awful taste. Muahahaha. It's the Twilight fever thing, not him fever. Eeks.

So, these are the dishes for tonight! These are just a few of my fave dishes which Mommy cooks. I generally fave all Mommy's food. Heehee. I mean, she doesn't really cook Carrots cos i dislike the Carroty smell. Mommy is The Best. Although i really appreciate the peace and quiet without anyone else at home. Perfect for studying Contract! Just that... there are distractions. (See below.)

To go with rice tonight...

Cabbage + mushroom + cauliflower + black fungus

Fish. Brainfood. Teochew food. I ttly need this!!! Yay.

Potato soup with onions + i dunno what else.

Oh, and let's play a game of Spot the Difference!
AFTER: Cabbage + mushroom + cauliflower + black fungus
(Minus minus some of each) Heehee

Because i'm greedy!! :D Mommy's food is just great.

Okay, it's time to start focusing on Kontract! So that i can sleep earlier tonight. I will use some brain power now! Debit brain power. Credit later from fish. Nice! Eggs for breakfast tomorrow, because I Say So. I am only princess for a few hours more. But that's okay, because Contract will be Over For Now (to be said tomorrow). Then i'd take a well-deserved break. Because i've never worked this hard before, or at least, spent so much time trying to study before. I'm still full from apples so i shall wait for Mummy to come back before having dinner.

don't run away

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:03:55 GMT

Life is not easy. But it's still a bed of roses - beautiful, yet dangerous at the same time.

I will figure things out somehow.

lovely day today, ain't it

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:25:51 GMT

Good morning! Will be going down to teach Rachel soon. But i'm really feeling too lazy to pack up and get ready to go. I've been feeling way too lazy these days! I had such lovely expectations for myself last night. When i got home i took out textbook, casebook and file so that i could continue working my way through the caselist. But i realised i'm hardly that lovely :| hahaha got nothing done because i started thinking about going on a holiday, especially that one where i go to Rome and attend mass in Latin. Haha. When i'm in Italy i'd be able to tell you that you're speaking too loudly (forte) maybe you could speak moderately loud (mezzo forte) instead. If you irritate me i'll tell you i'm feelin agitated (agitato), or when i'm getting slightly high i'd be animated (animato). When i have dessert i'll tell you it's sweet (dolce) but not too much (ma non troppo) because it'd be the loveliest gelato in the world! Ah, the many years of music education. Lovely.

Lovely shall be my word of the day. If i can't manage to get things done, it'd still be lovely. Each day is a lovely day to be alive so i can share with the world how lovely i am! Lovely. Though honestly, it's horrid because i always tend to over-think studying. Everytime i sit down i tend to over-think it. Every time i try to study, i over-think it as well. Things can't be lovely if i over-think them, so i shall try to make today as lovely as possible by not over-thinking. Actually, i should just stop thinking about anything else. Difficult though. Ok it's time to take a nice shower and go teach. I think that helps to keep me sane. Thank goodness for teaching!

i was home for dinner tonight

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:41:07 GMT

Today was quite an interesting day. I got to school slightly earlier than usual. Before 7am! So I had to take my matric card and tap it and hear the 'beep' and the sound of the door being unlocked. Found a meeting room with a working thermostat. Looked out the window, and thought, ah what nice blue sky. The sky is always nice and blue in the mornings with magnolia white clouds that look appetising. Yum.

Food of love for lunch. Then today's struggle with post-lunch lethargy resulted in a resounding victory by Sleep. So i sort of slept for one hour. Even listening to Hindemith I could sleep! Must have been tired. Nothing much done after that. Attempts to concentrate. Oh, and a trip down to study room to eat nice and wobbly egg tart from Singapore. Hahaha! But the afternoon was cold and gloomy and wet and rainy :( I hate thunder. I hate how lightning makes me anticipate it by automatically moving to cover my ears. I'm not afraid or scared of the noise. I just Really Dislike the loud noise. It's very unsettling, somehow. The loud noise messes with my heart and with my mind, then everything goes haywire. It's interesting how i'm so easily affected by the weather.

Food of love for dinner, too. Love: sitting with family at coffee table in front of the television for dinner. Usual practice. Hahaha nice, just that Daddy's in Vietnam. Would have been nicer if he was here! Yumyum food and hot soup. Mummy actually offered to bring dinner to school for me, but i decided to come home for dinner for a change. It was the wisest and bestest decision I made this whole week! I am very happy. Although, I was extremely traumatised by my sister. She was practising the piano. Haha but she shall get better with more practice. So now, I can hear Mummy playing Bejeweled again. it seems like she has problems not only with the Bejeweled Man, but the gems as well. Goodness! But really, it's great to be at home. It's so comfortable here.

When you wake up, it's sunny and all.
Then midday, the rain starts to fall.

Wonder why the clouds,
our hopes which have risen so high,
have to cry.
Is it wrong, to hope?

But there'll always be a new day.
To better appreciate the
Warmth
and represent Hope.

Tomorrow will always be a better day.
It must, so that
we have something to live for.

It's such a nice Saturday afternoon! I am now having a headache after falling asleep after eating a slice of cheese. I'm always eating cheese these days. Well, while i'm home, at least. There's so much cheese in the fridge for me! I was reading Gunapathy, the long sad journey. The next thing i knew, i was awake! Haha. It's horrid cos i don't even konw when i fell asleep. Haha but i think my body just needs rest and it responded by falling asleep. So, i shall not think about how much time i spent asleep. Anyway, sleep is good!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!

I had such a nice lunch!! It was... eggs. 2 eggs. One scrambled (though without milk), and one sunny side up. And a can of Marks&Spencers french onion & cider soup. But now i'm hungry again. Yes, even after that slice of cheese. I always wake up hungry. And headachey. Boo Boo.

I don't want to live on the moon

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:11:14 GMT

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon

No, I don't want to live on the moon

[This is beautiful]

bad monday

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:26:22 GMT

Today was a bad day. Felt funny after lunch, went to sleep, woke up feeling even funnier, in an uncomfortable sort of way. And since i slept the whole afternoon away, i haven't gotten much done at all. I was supposed read the contract cases. Then do the tutorial, or read SLS session 6 which i didn't last week. Why am i feeling so tired? This sucks. Maybe going to bed when you're feeling down means not having a good night's sleep. I guess that's true, considering how unsettling my dreams were.

Haha and i'm such a Twitter addict. While napping there was a loud clap of thunder which jolted me out of my afternoon slumber (haha?!). I woke up, went to Macky and TWEETED ABOUT THE THUNDER, then went back to lie on my bed and continue sleeping. I'm still feeling very weird. Today is such a bad day.

So, it's the end of my birthday weekend and i have just started on contract. About 15 minutes ago? Haha i'm here because i'm already almost asleep. I think i haven't slept enough. Maybe i should sleep more. I think i will.

Yesterday i spent another morning of my Birthday Weekend teaching. Very exciting indeed! After that i stoned around then went out for dinner!! Thanks lovely Sumee Audrey Cheeyao Junqi Kevin Nic Zhifeng for celebrating with me, thanks for the present and the free dinner hahahaha! :) I am rather tired from all the playing (although it appears now that 15 minutes of contract is far more tiring than a weekend-full of play!) which kind of explains the lack of energy in this post. Hahaha there are so many photos to look through and upload. I shall be taking my time with that. In any case, it was by far the best weekend i've had in ages, and it was much needed, too.

Thank you people for so much so much <3

the brightest star in the sky

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:55:25 GMT

IT WAS SUCH A PLEASANT SURPRISE. I am happy and relieved and everything :) I really really couldn't ask for more. I'm really touched. it was really so sweet. I think it was exactly what i needed at this point. I'm so so so so glad. I could go on and on about this, actually. But shall just leave it at that. Because, things are just Like That. Nice and comfortable.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH.

the best birthday night ever

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:49:58 GMT

Last night, i had such a great time. Having a nice dinner at a nice place with my WONDERFUL FAMILY with great food. Hahaha which birthday celebration is complete without a nice dinner at a nice place? Well it wouldn't be, for my family at least. Not that we need the food. We're happy and fine on our own. Just that we're all damn greedy and like food. So. HAHAHA. Great food. Thank you Daddy Mummy Meiz. Even though you guys don't read this. I really had such a wonderful time, i couldn't ask for more. Previously, my best birthday celebration was 7Nov2006 when it was the Esplanade Recital Studio concert (Beethoven Op. 31 No. 3, 1st movt, I remember) and i wore my green dress and had Nasi Lemak for dinner. THIS YEAR'S OWNZ EVERYTHING. Haahahaha. It's great to spend time with the family and talk serious stuff and crazy stuff and stilly stuff and whatever else. Thank you for being there for me! LOVE YOU ALL. Once again, i am very thankful. Ever thankful.

the boyfriend time

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:38:19 GMT

SHIT I'M SCREWED. Cos. I think i spoilt one of the keys. It's the C that is 2 octaves below the middle C. It doesn't bounce back up!!!!! And. There's a funny sound coming from inside the piano when i play the A above the middle C. I THINK I SPOILED MY PIANO SHITZZZZ. I shall have to tell Mummy/Daddy later. Actually it's not really my fault lah. It's cos...

My piano muscles are back!! My fingertips are hurting. THIS FEELS GOOD HAHAHAHA. I'm so happy. Thank you Brahms Mendelssohn Copland Granados Beethoven Mozart. You guys are fantastic. Actually. I only just realised i played so many composers. I feel like a FLIRT hahaha. I love the company of these guys. But most importantly, The Boyfriend!!!!! I WILL DIE WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME. I LOVE YOU FOREVER <3

Thank you for tolerating my random spamming and banging. I've never felt so strong at the piano before. I think it's because i really haven't played the piano for ages so i have lots and lots of accumulated energy to spare. My fingertips are flat now. And red. Hahaha but now my arms feel like jelly. Melly jelly. Melly jelly welly. BUT I'M HAPPY. Although it sucks not being able to express what i want to sometimes. But today, i'm happy to be able to sit by your side and run my fingers across you. You're beautiful did you know that?

I'm so glad the thought of pursuing music never seriously crossed my mind. I'm so glad that i never seriously considered it. Because music has always been something i turned to, outside of school, away from everything else. And it's been such a long time already... 14 years? I'm glad it has been a part of me for almost my entire lifetime. Haha and each time i play a piece i learn something new. About the piece, about myself. It's great! I enjoy this learning very much. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to educate, because my students have taught me so much about myself, somehow. I'm so thankful for lawschool, because whenever i have the opportunity to play the piano, i tend to appreciate it so much so much more.

And I played myself a Birthday Song in G major. Heehee.

19th birthday morning

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:21:23 GMT

What better way to start my day, than with one of my most favourite activities. Sister told me to not teach on my birthday. Actually, before that the thought never crossed my mind at all. So this morning, i spent an hour each with two of my students. Haha. I was tired and sleepy. But i gave them free stickers today. Spirit of giving. Even though both of them didn't do their theory homework. I think they're very lucky today. Maybe it was Birthday Motivation, i was uhm more motivated to expend energy. I think that made lesson more exciting for them too. Oh, how i miss the pre-lawschool days when teaching was my only real activity and i had the energy to put in so much more effort. But i will continue trying.

Had lunch with myself. It's great, having some ME TIME on my Birthday, in the midst of a hectic Birthday Weekend. Nothing fantastic, just a $2.90 lunch from random coffeeshop in Bukit Gombak. But i'm happy. Anyway, Birthday Girl is supposed to have Birthday Luck. So, wanted to buy 4D to test it out HHAHAHAHA but the queue was LONG and there were no hot guys to stare at because... only old uncles were queueing. HAHA. So, i guess i don't get to have a shot at testing my Birthday Luck. So no Windfall. It's okay, though, i got pay today. Should be enough to pay for my taxi fares and dinners. At least the money came from doing what i enjoy, not because i stood bravely amongst the dirty old men. Muahaha.

So, now i shall go spend some time with The Boyfriend. YAYYYYYY (good luck neighbours)

yet

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:46:36 GMT

I know why I'm having such an odd feeling. I shall recognise it and accept it. I think humans are such complex beings that it's possible to feel many things at once. Like how i'm experiencing such great joy, yet at the same time experiencing abit of sadness. But it's ok. Because it will be enough knowing that when i'm happy, i am truly and genuinely happy. I think that's all that matters because to have at least one reason to experience great joy is such a blessing already. And to experience it deep down in my heart is something I'm so very thankful for.

I think i'm not being fair to myself if i let a single negative emotion (or maybe two) overpower my positive ones, and subsequently overwhelm my entire being. Physically, emotionally, psychologically. I think i can be happy and sad at the same time. So, i will let the many many reasons why i am happy WIN. The negative emotions shall have to take a backseat. Hopefully for forever (unlikely though). I will concentrate, for this weekend at least, on being happy. Not that it's hard. I have so so so many reasons to be happy. I will be.

the day before my birthday

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:25:28 GMT

没想到会那么痛苦

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:54:52 GMT

I'm very thankful for Birthday Week and all. The past few nights have been difficult, and i can sense that my difficult Tonight had started this Morning. Birthday Week dinners to look forward to are welcome distractions!!! But my mind wanders when i have to think about torts or contract or whatever else I'm supposed to be doing. DISCIPLINE!!!!! Chaaaaaaaaannel the energy elsewhere!! Elsewhere!!!!!

@2207hrs: I dislike having to do things.

post-skype reflections

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:10:32 GMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALFRED!

Even though you're weird and vain and spend lots of money, i think you're fun cos the stuff you buy are nice (although i have to disagree with your taste for BV). I have no money to buy you BV etc. for your birthday because i bought myself a dress the other day. Not that it costs as much as BV etc. but i think getting myself a birthday present is a definite priority! :] Haha actually i only decided to make it my birthday present to myself because i have neither the time nor money to get myself something else.

I'm still pretty amazed that i somehow remembered you from kindergarten, goodness! And it turned out to be true that you were my classmate. My memory ftw. Not that it had any impact on our interaction in the 2 years of JC, but it has always made me cherish you so much as a friend. To meet someone 11 years later, and have him be your classmate once again, then have him in your group of friends... I am always in wonder of it all. So i thought i'd dedicate a post to you here on highclasslian@LJ since i'm on a blogging frenzy these few days anyway. I'm sooooo happy that your skype was working; it's really been way too long.

So, may your nineteenth birthday be a fantastic one. Enjoy your day off, and we have Friday to look forward to! All the best in your endeavours i.e. office job in army. May you experience a windfall so you can buy yourself some BV. No, wait. If i wish for you to get a windfall, and you actually do get one, please get something other than BV.

The most merciful thing of all is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents.

It also creates wonder, and plenty of it. Sometimes, it's better that we leave everything as it is, because this inability to comprehend and make sense of everything is such a blessing. I'm glad i experience conflicting emotions, or emotions at all, even if i get distracted from schoolwork, going to bed etc. I don't need an answer, or a clear sense of direction. I just need to try. And because i have Trust, i know that there is no need to fear. Yes, even though there is so much that i have now i.e. i have so much to lose. These were all Given! I will just.. not be asleep.

I don't even have to be strong, actually. Because with each day that passes, i learn a day's worth of lessons. I don't even have to try to be mature about things. I just have to Believe. Oh, and do tutorials etc. Life goes on, anyway :)

i woke up because i felt hungry

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:54:49 GMT

To have the ability to feel, think and experience emotions is to be human. I can't be more thankful for that.

i'm hungry and ought to go to bed but

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:15:31 GMT

When i wake up, I promise not to:

Think crazy things
Think stupid things
Think silly things
Think ABOUT things

Because life's like that. It's just another phase in my life. Besides, yet another night of getting nothing done is bad. I'm a student, and Miss Teo while I teach, and nothing else. Please please please let my piano spamming session tomorrow be useful. Good night.

I really hate it when it's a momentary high, because after that there's nowhere to go but the very bottom. Once again, I am strong. I should be strong. I must be strong. I will be strong. I will find the strength from within, somewhere. I hope I actually manage to find something hahahaha. Meanwhile, I shall escape to Dreamland. I can only hope that I will see no funny stuff in Dreamland. I hope I don't dream at all, actually. So there's nothing to read too much into.

float

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:42:30 GMT

RELIEF.

And considering that crazy anxiety which i was experiencing earlier today, i really really do appreciate this. And, much more HAHAHA. I feel like i can jog, run, fly. But not reverse bungee i think. Not so extreme lah? I do pity birds which have acrophobia. Hmm, maybe these birds are born as ostriches or emus or penguins or domesticated chickens bred to feed humans. I don't know what's worse hahahaha!!!!

piano fun

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:24:59 GMT

Hahaha my sister and i were sight reading and spamming random piano duets with the piano open at full lid. Then neighour complained to security guard. Then security guard got scolded by my mother!! Haha poor woman?! I think we often traumatise our neighbours. But it's ok cos they can't sue us in public nuisance. No crime there! We were just having fun, albeit VERY LOUD FUN. I mean, FOUR HANDS?!

I think some of my friends would know about how i confronted the stupid angmoh downstairs neighbour because he interrupted my piano practise session last year by continuously ringing the doorbell. And telling us about his stupid 8 month old baby. MUSIC'S GOOD FOR YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT DOOD. Although he might seriously doubt that statement considering how musicians generally turn out. Which is: WEIRD. Hahaha. Poor neighbours. But i think it's a good sacrifice to make cos they get free concert. It's quite enriching? Cos it's not a concert setting and they can do whatever they want (well, except sleep or you-know-you-know) while they listen!

So anyway my sister is practising Le Chat et la Souris now so GOOD LUCK TO NEIGHBOURS HAHAHA.
