Had a freaking fire drill in school, and tbh, it sucks bad. The usual waiting which is associated with fire drills and stuff, the interminable wait, the scorching sun, and the damp 'synthetic soil' combine to give a formula for disaster. So basically we set in the hot sun for almost 40-50 mins, and then they declared that everyone will be having recess right after the fire drill since it practically stole so many people's recess.

Then i went for a medical checkup, and the doctor decided to change my medication. The worst thing was that the medicine was to be taken in doses like half a tablet, a tablet and finally a tablet and a half. And cutting tablets are NEVER a good idea. Why can't they just produce it in the required dosages? Life's already difficult enough to remember to take medicine, and now i have to take it while being reminded of fractions?

CNY I think Wednesday, February 17, 2010

CNY I think, as a whole, was kinda disappointing.

Not because of the 'earnings' from red packets, but because of what felt to be an extremely short holidays which didn't felt like a holiday at all.

Where were the days of waking up late; of sleeping till we wake up ourselves?

Where were the reunions, the card games, the laughter, the games, the conversations? Everything seems missing. Everything feels different from before. It's not the traditional/stereotypical CNY which i expected.

Ending off on a lighter note though, at least something came through for me.

Stay tuned. Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Will blog later.

I promise.

CNY Celebrations Friday, February 12, 2010

First, it started with an hours of mindless dragon/lion dancing, with people pointlessly throwing sweets around.

Then there was the 30min break where everybody stoned at the canteen.

Then the real 'fun' began. Well until the disturbing part where the new teachers tried to be some chipmunk rubbish, who had mutilated hands and feet which were moving by themselves. Top that off with an almost freakish smile, it's like hell on earth.

Followed swiftly by an emcee that just could not make it. Nice try at trying to get the audience into the performance, i was so enthusiastic towards the end!

Not.

Then the even more retarded angel-mortal revelation, which would have given the cleaners a hell of a time to clean up the hall afterwards. So much for planning.

Chocolate Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Extreme heat.

Extreme brightness; glaring down, slowly melting and consuming every single molecule in my body.

I am literally dripping to death.

I drip onto an unknown, reddish-pink ... thing.

A sound of delight. A sound of pleasure.

Yes, Tennis was FREAKING hot today. Though I've never tried it before, i think it would be almost placing your head in the microwave oven.

TV dinner.

I've got sunburnt. Cooked skin. The whole package.

I feel sleepy, and for some reason i can't stop sweating or sth. Maybe my insides are melting this very instant.

Last story of the day.

After tennis, i was rushing to get home just so i can eat my medicine. I went out of school at 5:35.

Reached bus stop outside Pasir Ris MRT at 5:45.

Reached Tampines at 5:55.

Reached bus-stop outside Tampines mall at 6:00.

No buses came at 6:05. Shit, medicine is at 6:15.

Took taxi at 6:06. Reached home at 6:13 - just enough time for food and medicine, and an orchestrated sigh of relief.

Exhaustion. Tuesday, February 09, 2010

Had a tiny afternoon nap, only to wake up realising that i should have taken my medicine 10 mins ago. Guess i was woken up by the TV, which was showing some bloody loud documentary on Nat. Geo.

For some reason, my ears have been aptly tuned to sounds recently. They love great tunes, while they despise loud and unnecessary noises. It's like the music adds to relaxation while the noises, irritating and annoying as they can possibly be, add more stress to the workload that i'm currently struggling so much with. Really can't wait for CNY - not because of the money, the relatives, but i'm relying on them to propel me back to the productivity which i had possessed while in J1.

Though i do agree that the workload in J2 is heavier, i must agree that to a certain extent, it is still considered manageable despite the lessened time to do them cause of training and what nots.

I really need to catch up. I WANT to catch up. Though i got to admit, the exhaustion and tired days are seriously being a bitch.

Blisters Smisters Monday, February 08, 2010

The blisters on my right and left toe are getting creepy.

They are freaking yellow in colour (Yes YZ, Yellow Matter Custard) and like almost 3/4 the size of a 50 cent coin.

Plasters ain't helping.

Either my socks are too thin, or my shoes are wearing out; well at least they look worn out.

Time to increase my MPS/APS Saturday, February 06, 2010

Both earphones cost like not very cheap, so i guess i should start saving!

And by then, new stuff should be coming out, hopefully better and which are even better value for money.

Thoughts on J1s Friday, February 05, 2010

Orientation. Checked.

CCA-day. Checked.

I've seen them past. Seem them around. Their boorish antics. Mafia-like members. Mud chocolate. For the part, most of them look set to be 'R's.

Trilemma Wednesday, February 03, 2010

I've been contemplating whether to change my earphones for quite some time. Then, seeing an advertisement on Digital Life isn't really helping me to answer my question:

"Should I?"

As of today, I'm thinking of 3 options.

1. Obviously, don't change; stick to my Bose in-ear headphones.

2. Change to Ultimate Ears 700, which has an offer from now till 28th February, whereby purchase can also lead to a 'free' gift of a speaker.

3. Switch to Jays q Jays, another pair which has been marked as a competitor for the UE 700s. I came across this pair while reading reviews for the UE 700s. It seems to be a better alternative, for now - apparently, it costs less, and has more accessories such as a filter, more ear buds e.t.c.

Trilemma much. As of now, I have absolutely no idea about the price of the Jays earphones. I guess i will only make a decision until then.
