This year's reunion, no longer at Singapore Yatch Club. I think there's an internal recession going on.. so, it's The Rail Mall this time round.





Preparations for Chinese New Year. I didn't slack! These were the reasons why I still can't finish my readings.


























My beloved Xianye's 21st. Akin to a big brother. I still remember how bullied I was in Northland and he and Monica would constantly ask me to transfer schools; to either Canberra or Sembawang where they rule. Hahaha!








So, Lye Huat's 21st in Absolute Haven.

It's 10.30pm and I have not bathed. I'm tired after tuition. Me, being a smart ass, drove down for the class, came back with a bump on my head. I cannot believe that I caused the door to knock my forehead while trying to close the door. So yea, imagine the swing. I really cannot believe it and because of this stupidity, I'm angry with myself. I am really very angry!

I can finally go to bed. What am I talking about. Argh! It must have been the bump. I mean I can go to bed in peace without thinking about the readings that I have to complete because it's my last day of school today! HA! But it's not as if I haven't been going to bed in peace. I have been shamelessly going to classes being unprepared. Or rather the readings that I have completed, are done in a very slipshod manner.

I've not touched Oliver Twist since last night. And I don't intend to do it tonight. I can't. Just can't read anymore. So much so that I had to go shopping before class today.

I am exhausted. I need sleep but there's just so much to do.

It's a good thing that Add/drop period is over. It's also a good thing that I get to be with Const in Media in America. It wasn't as bad as how Rai put it across to me! Haha! I'm glad that he's not as "exiled" as I expected. I mean how bad can it get when that prof majors in French Lit? Econs is not bad because I still remember rougly what I did in JC. But I'm alone in this! So not looking forward to the stupid tutorials. The class literally stinks like how the lecture theatre stinks for Shakespeare's class. That class before... eeeww. 6 modules, heavy... Really heavy. I can't finish my readings in time.

I have to include this. There are rumours about that Irishman coming back! :) As much as jun imagining another Irish in a lack-of-cloth state, const imagines Shakespeare's avid fan that too. But upon the mrt ride back from school to home just now, we have concluded that all of them will most probably not have abs but yea... bellies. Think of Drama prof (that "pom pom" hair guy) and smart smart man that taught in Turkey? That Irishman is exceptional. To me and me only. He's good looking okkaayy... I still can recall how he reads the Canterbury Tales! WOOOH!

So much printing to do, and I'm lazy. I haven't been printing lecture notes. And I have officially given up on using NTU foolscrap and lost to the fight against the urge to purchase my faithful system planner.

And if Yijun sees this before the time I see you on Thursday for Oliver Twist, please make this coming Saturday's morning free. Const and I will be expecting you in YCK stadium. It's time for the morning run again. To get rid of fats as well as stress. FiRd, you are invited. Ass.

Okay lah... I sian already. Today marks the one week anniversary of my Great Fall.

There isn't even an opportunity to breathe! And I mean this in the metaphorical sense, unlike my "great fall" which was mentioned in a literal sense. Past 2 weekends of year 2009 had been spent attending birthday parties, there will be another one the next week and the following week. CNY next week too! Reunion dinners, visiting, clothes and the list goes on.. as well as my readings. The readings are much much and much harder to digest.

This is just an entry that doesn't make much sense and is of no value. I am just blogging because I feel like it. It takes my head off the large amount of readings that I will try to complete for next week. I just realised that it's time to bathe and get over to Liane's place. It's been long, quite long since I last saw Angel, Jearl and Liane.

Jean had a great fall.

Well, just the first day of the second week of school and I feel as if I'm already halfway through the semester. The reading load is heavy, and especially for Contempory Women's Writing, the readings are kind of difficult. In both the ideas that they are trying to put across and in the use of words. It's difficult to read.

Yes, fiRd, I realised my MAJOR TYPO ERROR in my last entry. There is this particular resistance to correct it.

I have already replaced my tagboard once because of weird people(hereby used as a negative term rather than a positive one) had spammed advertisements on it and included one whole load of very vulgar stuff. Now somebody else, or the same person maybe, have done it again. I mean, what do you hope to achieve? If I am really that attractive that someone is interested to impose as me, you ought to be sincere enough to study my writing style and perform as Jean believing-ly. It is so improper of the language to disrespect the use of punctuations. Typing things like 'Jean sucks .' What's that space between the word 'sucks' and the fullstop? Okay, I realised that I shall not be anal about it. Go ahead man, vandalise my tagboard, there ain't anything I can do about it anyway. Unless I remove my tagboard. We'll see how.

Taking on another personality is certainly very seductive. No wonder it is such a joy for some people to impersonate me. Putting on a pretense, my tagboard as a stage, a fantastic performance. Jean is just a name, a label, I myself may jolly well be a pretense to my name. Jean could be, and may be a mere performance of the essence of (j)ean.

Ha! I should really begin reading Richard II.

It's Wednesday. I know I am speaking the obvious but I really don't know what else to say other than the very fact that I feel so... nua-ish. So sick of complaining about Add/Drop. So sick about complaining about my stupid tutorial. I need to get out of friday's tutorial! I am so Sick of it. I am so sick of staring at STARS that shows nothing other than nothing has vacancy.

School... Hmm, so far, school's good. I just need another elective to make it fantastic. Bought most of the books, spent another fortune on it but I cannot believe how elated I am just looking at home lying on my table. They are dancing when I'm not looking at them!

Yesterday was a good day. We sushi-ed in school. 'We' as in Angela, Yijun, Constance and Winifred. We are finally back together. And for this semester, we'll only be together on Tuesdays. But Tuesdays are relatively long so time will be well spent. Yes, our conversations that spread across all topics but still rests and mainly comes back to LOVE and LIFE and MEN and WOMEN, cliches but still!!! We speak of them so fervently and never less enthusiastic.

Digressing a bit, I really like my Major. I love it so much so that if not for the need to complete this and complete that, I would have taken up the challenge and do 5 lit modules. I am interested in so many so many, so much so much but I only have 4 years! It will definitely be the best 4 years then...

FiRd, being that emo-ish, loner-ish man, I succumbed to his call for supper and we supper-ed at Serangoon Gardens with lala and kwoky. We didn't eat a lot, we didn't drink a lot, we talked a lot. As Usual.

Okay, did I mention that I love my books? I even love Norton Shakespeare. But for this, I only love the book, as in the outlook of it, not the contents. I should still keep my comments though, since I agree with Yijun that WW seems very passionate about educating people about Shakespeare's works.

It's gonna be Day 1 in school today. It seems that the excitement for school to start has died down ever since yesterday. I am so lazy to go to school but I prefer to think it that it is some repulsion feeling for the Add/drop period. It's kinda unsettling. Nevertheless, I am going to see kwoky and finally winifred! This time round, I think I'll be using NTU's foolscrap pad instead of brainstorming for a nice nice notebook. haha!

Haven't been blogging because I haven't been feeling quite well after the horrible intoxication on NYE. Pictures will be up when I get my hands down to it. I'm really a pretty lazy person.
