Revelations, of some sort.

January 21, 2008

(list form because I like it.)

01. It takes over a month to get a letter from Singapore to the United States/Canada/Mexico even though the post office people say it takes only five to eight days. I’d like to believe that the Singapore post people get the letter there in 5-8 days, and the American post people take all of three weeks to get the mail sorted. But the point is, send your letters & cards way before the event that they were meant for, if you want them to reach their intended destinations on time.

02. The sugar in apples have the same effect as caffeine in coffee, on a person. It keeps you awake, for pretty much the rest of the day. In fact I think it either keeps you awake for a longer period of time, or the intensity of alertness is higher. Whatever the effects, it’s healthy. So. EAT APPLES.

03. Am in RJGE. Looks like I’ll never take a quietus on guitar, no matter how much I said I didn’t want to be stared upon as “that girl who plays guitar” in JC.

04. Took home a guitar to try out. It’s a real damn baby. It’s 630mm, 2cm shorter than a normal one, and it’s neck is thinner as well. Though seriously from afar you can’t really tell. It fits me perfect, just that I have to get use to the high-tension strings. The sound is awesome. Price is a bit steep though, so I’ll enjoy it while I can for now and spend the rest of the time trying to convince my parents about it.

05. OMG. RILAKKUMA SALE AT TAKASHIMAYA. GO BUY.

06. It’s only the third week of the year and I am running very, very short of cash. I mean if you look at it this way – in the next week I have to pay for my magazine subscriptions ($350), my Graphic Calculator ($155) and uniforms ($100), which actually leaves a deficit in my savings for the year :O And the food in JC is more expensive than in secondary school (but the quality here actually deems the increase in price) and Junction 8 is just a mere 10-minute walk away. AND THE PLAN TO SAVE UP FOR MY NEW GUITAR. Rawr.

07. Okay so my schedule’s more or less settled in already – I end at the latest 7pm on Mondays and earliest 1230 on Tuesday. Thursday is a killer day with a one hour break in betweeen lessons from 750 to 520. Fridays are badly planned days with 4.5 hours worth of breaks in between lessons and stuff, therefore causing me to end school only at 5.30 instead of 1. But that’s JC life for you I guess. Now moving on to the biggest and probably the most challenging problem in JC – self-discipline.

08. Found an interest in pool, and darts. Of which, I am passable at the former and…hopeless at the latter. But I’m sure with some training (aka Saturday Mugging Sessions) I’ll…be a pro in no time. :D

09. I still feel all eager and hyped up for school and external activities. Which is amazing considering that this is already week three. And I haven’t fallen asleep in a lesson yet! (2000 brownie points for me!) The classmates now say I overdose on apples, because I can stay awake in situations that they can’t. !!! Junior College has been a wonderful place, so far.

10. Right now the biggest dilemma in my life would be deciding to go for a 414 class dinner, or pool with Peaelle. Personally the latter is more enticing, but Alyssa’s back from Australia and I probably wouldn’t see her for months until her next school break.

11. Barbie’s birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOWWIE I HOPE YOU LIKED THE LITTLE SURPRISE WE HAD FOR YOU AT FISH & CO.!
