i hate finding less marshmallows in a box of oreo o's. niggas be skimping on the quality nowadays. last time you got a whole box full of chocolatey goodness brimming with delectable bouncy marshmallow bits but now its scarce like water in a desert. in the good ol days after you finished a bowl and drank all the milk, you'd get a sugar high. your heart rate would increase dramatically, your hands would begin to tremble and other parts of your anatomy would be begin to twitch uncontrollably. now the only twitching i do is that of revulsion as i dredge the bowl looking for marshmallows.

at last! the sweet sweet smell of freedom is in the air. the temporary cloud of mugging-induced madness has lifted and we return to a normal state of functioning. time to put on the crisp new denim - which i have my great friends to thank for - and pound the streets in well-worn sneakers. i'm gonna do it and keep doing it until the mere thought of going out makes me puke and go into a catatonic state.

i just saw this tv show, it was called 'the law firm' and it was reality tv, ala the apprentice. instead of having entrepreneurs compete in doing business, imagine having lawyers duke it out over court cases. now, the show wasn't as slick as the apprentice or other top tier reality fare, but it was interesting nonetheless. and it made me want to be a lawyer even more. why? cos arguing a case seems like a damn interesting thing to do. ya get to match wits with your opponents and in the end it comes down to your skill in arguing.
now that doesnt seem like something I'd do right? I seldom argue, I'm sure many of y'all can attest to that. I'm happy when everyone else is happy, so I normally try and get along with everyone, avoiding disagreements and confrontation. So why the heck would I enjoy arguing and fighting my case in a court of law? Well let's adjourn to a more whimsical explanation. I've got two words for ya. Look up. Yes look up and look at the stars.
Okay now that you're bedazzled, know that I'm a Gemini and hence i've got 2 sides to me. On one hand I would be versatile and just chill in whatever situationI guess should you throw me into a fiercly competitive quandry, where its do or die, win or lose, I'll fight and fight, always trying to win. Guess this kinda competitive streak would work nicely in court yeah? Haha. Damn the common traits of gemini really resound strongly in me, there's so much more that I could analyse, but for now I've had enough of a mental exercise and its off to slack abit. hock out.

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
Since you've been gone.
this is seriously one of the most beautiful songs out there.
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot,
workin' my day around the call,
and that's something which
I'm sure many of y'all have been through.
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way

i've kinda given up. being a studious and hardworking person is no easy task, and when this demand is made of youth, it becomes all the more daunting. Say you pluck us all from the pressure cooker system that we call school and give us a whole month off. Naturally everyone would indulge in some deserved rest&recreation first. unfortunately once we've played enough there dawns the realisation that we have done too little, too late.
to quote nicholas "cos it's only common test. and will it kill me? maybe."
and to quote me "ok. kill then kill lor. damn i need some new stuff"
anyway on to more mundane stuff (actually there's nothing more mundane than studying i think) - i just caught singapore odol and i think its funny how in the pre-performance interview daniel ong will always mention some quirky fact about the song that the next contestant is gonna sing. "oh that song was a chart-topper and critical success" or "and that's off her sophomore album" "that song debuted at #23068236 on the chart way back in 2001" blahblahblah. also, the judges are quite useless. most of the time they've got nothing good to say, and you've got nothing good to say then don't say nothing. of course that would give us a boring boring show, and i'd be more than happy to have project runway occupy that primetime 8pm slot over idol anyday.

i'm happy. really happy. content with the way things are - after lots of turbulence and wayyyy to much thinking - now all's fine and the road ahead looks clear. a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. thanks. more good years.
1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks have come and gone. seems like time has passed too fast for my liking, but its all good anyway. best 3 weeks of my life thus far. now all i need are just some new shoes to complete it. haha just kidding...i've got enough kicks to last a lifetime yup.
as y'all might have noticed, i've switched things up on this blog abit... less clicking needed so its more userfriendly for all the lazy people out there. with that said, feel free to tag more since the tagboard is so visible now haha

nationals are in 3 weeks and that is really scary. all the effort put in thus far is gonna be measured in absolute terms, either you're in or you're out. not to mention that its gonna be my first taste of competition, which is gonna be quite nerve-wracking. to be realistic, I can't expect much, and I just hope to acquit myself well enough in the eyes of my team, my coach and lastly myself.
having common tests the week before nationals isn't something i'm too happy about either. but as I've said time and time again to many ppl, its gonna be a case of damage control, baby. don't fret too much, the final goal is prelims and then As, don't let them stupid cts affect ya too much. less stress, less mess
i have yet to put down any money on the world cup. mainly due to a lack in finances. but one day, one day i'll strike(!) and suddenly i'll be rolling in the moolah.. wish me luck. should have bought a france-swiss draw but too bad i made that prediction one hour before the match started haha.
alright time to stop this and go back tomugging playing, relaxing & enjoying life

rejoice and celebrate, let the fireworks illuminate the sky and all voices rise as one to proclaim that I have ascended to the magical age of XVIII in the year MMVI A.D.
okay so i'm 18. woohoo. its more a number than anything else, but it sure was fun celebrating the crossover to legality. getting flung into a pool was definitely not on my list of things to do but it was all good. many thanks to everyone who cared. through the songs, the messages and the calls, I really felt loved. and guess what, the day is only half done, still lots of time to enjoy. You're only ever eighteen once, and i'm gonna make it count

so much has happened in the past 7 days. pre-university seminar 06, nj oac adventure challenge, and many more things in between. where do i begin ... ...
suddenly i don't feel like typing much, not for a lack of inspiration, but for the simple reason that to go through all of it would be overwhelming. between seminar group 15 and all the juicy subplots unfolding, the intellectualshit discussions going on in khairi's room, the late night roaming around, the gossiping, the bitching, the eyeing, the eating, the playing, you can see that's a big @*&%-load of stuff to comprehend. it was all fun though. it was an emotional rollercoaster but it ended well enough. i began the ride expecting nothing and came back blown away, with nothing left to expect. many new friends were made, with already existing friendships reaffirmed and strengthened.
team PRODUCT: daryl damien huishan & mitchell. we rock. simple as that. who else could go through the AC having so much fun along the way. i didn't have high hopes for the race cos i knew i was tired from pre u sem, but somehow i found the energy to keep going and gladly everyone did too. next time we get a whiff of crisp spring chicken we will always remember this day haha.
as you can see this has been bloody brief and doesnt do much justice to one of the most eventful and kicka$% weeks in my life. just ask if you wanna know more.
