It's.... 2.15AM? And i just finished my forum discussion thingy for health psyc =) *gives myself a hearty pat on the back* I'm still so awake =( Really gotta do sthg about my screwed-up body clock soon.
Oh ya! i got distracted 1/2 way thru the discussion by this blog (belonging to a couple from NUS science i think =P) steph told me to visit. Think its supposedly quite popular. And yea it was pretty insightful, realistic and cute too in some sense. They had this level of maturity which is damn admirable. Sighhhh... I feel like a kid. Heh! (and i know at least 7 ppl who are gonna say that i look like one too =P)
New Media is boringggg (ok. Maybe just half of it). And when you're studying something hopelessly technical which includes stuff like how the first computer/internet/e-mail was created... your mind tends to wander after awhile. I kept having to take breaks after every chapter cos it was so dry. Thought about a lot of stuff. Hehe.... Daydreaming.
Was thinking if i should agree to adopt my friend's rabbits. I haven't had a pet in so long after my hamsters. Really really tempted. After all rabbits are cute and furry (i love furry animals. Hehe), plus they're free (*sticks out tongue*) and i'd be helping my friend cos she can fang xin and go to Aust. But then i suddenly thought of the visit to pet safari and those PUPPIES. AHHHH. I've always loved pets but i've never thought of myself as a "rabbit" kind of person. Its like when i think of animals, the first thing that comes to my mind is automatically... dog. -.-" Dunno but perhaps its this childhood "fantasy" that i've had for super long time. its like i can imagine myself feeding/bathing/playing with the dog.... and yes! WALKING it. I can't possibly walk a rabbit. I mean, put a leash on it and bring it to the park, play fetch or sthg. And my friend was saying that rabbits don't like to be cuddled by nature (unless u have food on you). How can!!!! I thrive on affection. If the rabbit loves me only for my food den i'll be so... =.=" Rabbits don't really show affection when they see you. They don't pounce on you/lick your entire face with tail wagging when you return home. Sniff.... i wished they do. Or perhaps i might have some misconception about rabbits? Hmmmm. I shall go give more thought to the adoption thingy. But still.... one day, I'm gonna get myself a puppy. No.... two! To keep each other company when i'm not at home. Muahaha... ok lah thinking a little far now. Can't help it lohs ppl lusting after puppies for very long alr. my parents promised me a puppy if i got into EM1 in pri 4. Until now still haven't even see the fur yet. Humph! Bluff me. But still, it requires time, commitment, space and money so i shall continue lusting after em for now. =D
Oh ya then i ventured off to somewhere like.... 10 years down the road? Hehe. Cos a lot of people kept saying that they can't imagine what they will be like many years later. I was trying to visualise in my mind what my life would be like. What will i look like? Who will I meet? What will my occupation be? Who will i love and how much does he love me in return? Where will i stay? Who's my best friend? Will i be rich/poor/somewhere in the middle? Will i be happy-go-lucky? Or will i have lotsa worries? Yea... too many questions and images swimming around in my mind and it got a little intimidating so after a while i decided to scrape it and think abt more happy stuff. =P Hehe.
Yupp! my xiaodabian is coming out tmr! =)) Den we can go eat....i hope. Later he say wanna jian fei again *sigh* Tsk tsk. I dunno why they all end up so conscious.
And yea, just to end off with a random thought brought forward from social work group discussion last week:
-"Beauty is but only skin deep"
We've probably heard this a zillion times. But in today's society, does it truely exist?
I know i shouldn't generalise but i guess i agree with the statement that girls generally go for sercurity whilst guys ( at least a good portion of them ) scrutinize the face/body FIRST. (This came from a guy hor!) Its like we always hear our guy friends say stuff like " ay! that girl chio hor" or "Wah hot lei".---> esp. frequent when a big group of guys come together. K lah, i must still give credit to the precious handful of guys who are not like that thou. =)
[Heh! I think our group is feminist.]
As they say, "first impression counts". When we judge a person based solely on first impression, we ourselves are already superficial. Food for thought.

Had a mentally exhausting night for B2B. All our rovers activities are bound to have hiccups (as they put it..."mei you chuo zhe jiu bu shi rovers le")but yesterday's was a big OMG! Everything just all happened at once and everyone was like.... "bu hui zhe me qiao ba". And the groupings had some last minute changes for some reason blah blah blah. But fortunately, after some chaos and a lot of running around, we still managed to get started (though we were way way way off time).
WJ and i were super worried so we decided to flag the participants asap which means only KM and i were left with 16 comm bags, some of the participant's barang, all the logistics(banners + loudhailer etc), 8 bikes and all the last min discrepancies to settle. Eventually we managed to shift everything onto the van but the bikes were a big problem. Due to some last minute problems, we were left with more bikes than we could handle cos the van could only carry a limited number. managed to squeeze 4 into the back of the van. Den we had to think of how to secure the rest at kitrunners. After a lot of calling around to qiu jiu and stuff Witono decided to fly back frm Geylang to lend us his bikechain and help us secure the bikes. I can only say that all of us were sweaty and breathless after squeezing 4 bikes into a not very long chain. Physically taxing sia. After Witono left we had to settle a mountain of paperwork and Km was like complaining about some grouping stuff he was pissed with and i sort of agreed with him. k lah i wasn't pisssed, just a little frustrated. Haha. But oh wells there was nothing we could do about it alr anyways.
Finally we could get on the van and enjoy the aircon, and we were like saying that being on the van was definitely as tiring (or worse than)as cycling the whole night. We had to go around changing bikes, lending slippers to ppl, fixing bikes and bike lights, entertaining people and liasing with the facilitators. And we were quite emo-ed cos we each had our own personal stuff to settle and etc. And so much for counselling him when i myself had some issued i was caught up with.Haha. Ironic. had quite some time while waiting for groups to arrive so we had a long long talk/debate.
Den finally after a night which stretched us to our limits it was finally over. Yupp. We were all super emotional when participants came over to thank us and shake hands etc. Felt so appreciated all of a sudden. Then there were pats on the back and hugs from the seniors which left us teary-eyed. Den some of the 29th who voiced that "KM WJ and TW all xing ku le, we know u all very stressed cos of the last min stuff but u did well. and we were impressed". Haha. That was the last straw man. It was like everything overwhelmed us and some of us went to ine side to sniffle for a while. Lol. Much to the amusement of shiyao. All in all i must really express my gratitude to all the 29th, the seniors (shiyao and laiyee), Witono (for trying to de-stress us with his disgusting laugh) and the participants for being so understanding and peng chang; for giving up seats to us when we arrived, for making space for us, for letting us kop their food, for sharing leng xiao hua, for talking to us etc etc etc
And finally i think i should thank leongjinghao. sorry love for neglecting u for so long.
