Sometimes it's a comfort to be alone.

If you're the kind of person who always has people breathing down your neck (metaphorically) ,it's always nice to have peace and quiet sometimes. Well, of course this can't apply to everyone, some people love attention.

Recently I've had so much face-to-face communication with people that I'm exhausted by the time I get home everyday.It is tiring.While I was walking home from NTUC just now carrying 4 cans of cocktail sausages, a McFlurry, and with my iPod plugged into my ears, listening to "I Want It That Way" on repeat, it felt so peaceful.
Not having to think of the right things to say, not having to worry about what other people think about you or what you're saying to them, not having to worry about what they want.
When my parents were out of the country on a holiday for a week, it felt like that.My siblings weren't often at home, and it was peaceful. It's just that sense of freedom, you know?
Do what I want, when I want, say what I want, and nobody cares.

The Vivocity rooftop is a beautiful place to be.

The past few days have been really tiring. I keep trying to force myself to do homework, but can't bring myself to. I guess you could refer to the saying The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Some of you would say it's just plain nonsense, but it's really like that. It's not that I WANT to do my homework, it's just that I have to, if not I'd be hounded. I'm so worried for myself!
Panicking.

Sec 4 farewell tomorrow, accompanied by choir practice from 7.45am-5pm. How to run when I stubbed my toe yesterday? It started bleeding under the nail.
Don't wanna say goodbye to the Sec 4s, they're like so reliable lah! We're barely surviving without them.
Oh, dear Sec 4s...

I've hit 200 posts!

Just felt like typing about a show I've watched over and over.In fact,I've just finished watching it another time. "The Adventures of Joe Dirt"

I love that show.I first watched it in Hawaii when I went there for the Pacific Basin Music Festival 2005,but I only managed to catch a very small part of it because our choir had to rush off somewhere.I made a mental note to look for it once I came back to Singapore,but I couldn't find it anywhere.
When I went to Perth,Australia in June that same year,I popped into VideoEzy there and found the video!I wanted to buy it but it was only up for rental.Darn...I had no choice to come back home and then check it out at the VideoEzy branches here.Of course,I asked them over the website first.I was overjoyed when they told me the branch at Thomson Plaza had a copy of the VCD.I couldn't get there sooner.

I can't even remember how many times I've watched it,but I love it for a few reasons.Joe Dirt has such a positive outlook on life.For years and years he believed his parents simply lost him,until he found out towards the end of the show that they simply left him.He had a "never-give-up" attitude.I also love the whole country feel of the show,you know,the accents and the countryside scenery and lifestyle.
Oh,and the show also has/had a happy ending!

Another character I'd like to type about is Mr Bean.Ring a bell?
I've watched a lot of the animated series,I find it more fun than the unanimated one.
I wish I were like Mr Bean.Not only can he make people laugh,he only has to deal with little petty problems in his life,like dealing with the grumpy landlady,pleasing his girlfriend,talking to his teddybear.
Just getting through each day using sly-but-smart tactics,and it's fun,too.
So different from reality.

Over the past couple of days, I've had people keep telling me to "find out what you're interested in/what you want to do".
Does one's ambition necessarily have to be in one's reach?

Wouldn't it be unnatural to have to "find out"?

On another topic, I went to the "Anlene Orchard Mile" run yesterday morning.The last time I went to a charity run was when they had the most recent Terry Fox run thingy.I don't think it was too long ago,but I may be wrong.I seem to be in a time-warp lately.
The Terry Fox run was for people both female and male,but the Anlene thingy was only for females.It was kinda scary to see so many women in one place,but it was fun.
I think the only-women rule was laid down because women are more prone to osteoporosis.The goody-bags contained a lot of milk.

I was reading through Jeffrey Dahmer's quotes on Wikipedia.com and came across one I quite liked on keeping fish.
"It was nice, with African cichlids and tiger barbs in it and live plants, it was a beautifully kept fish tank, very clean. I used to like to just sit there and watch them swim around, basically. I used to enjoy the planning and the set-up, the filtration, read about how to keep the nitrate and ammonia down to safe levels and just the whole spectrum of fish-keeping interested me. I once saw some puffer fish in the store. It's a round fish, and the only ones I ever saw with both eyes in front, like a person's eyes, and they would come right up to the front of the glass and their eyes would be crystal blue, like a person's, real cute. It's a fun hobby. I really enjoyed that fish tank. It's something I really miss. "

The period of responsibility begins.

Congrats,Joy,Alto 1 is in your hands now!
I shall not tell you guys how the choir comm elections went.It was only yesterday,though,and I was so thankful the Sec 4s were there,because that meant we could go have lunch together (yay!).It might've been the last time.
Same lunch group,we ate at Koufu,and I was happy I had them around. (:
