Haven't been posting much these days because I've once again been immersed into the wonderful world of World of Warcraft where all my pretty elves are hiding. <3
Yup, thats all that i've been up to these days. Either i'm in camp, or i'm out playing WoW. That with a couple of outings sprinkled in between, with these getting less and less. Like last week, when i stayed at home the entire weekend. (feeling v. v. v. v. v. bored of course)
I'm still dying to go out though. That part of me has not changed. Just that its so bad sometimes that i totally don't feel like doing anything, including going out. =/
Lack of activity?

This whole post is brought to you courtesy by Astrology Online. Hope they don't mind that i copied the whole chunk over, oh well.. >.>
The Scales
September 24 to October 23
Traditional
Libra Traits
Diplomaitic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable
On the dark side....
Indecisive and changeable
Gullible and easily infuenced
Flirtatious and self-indulgent
Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring.
They have good critical faculty and are able to stand back and look impartially at matters which call for an impartial judgment to be made on them. But they do not tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions, for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of criticism and a greed for approval. But their characters are on the whole balanced, diplomatic and even tempered.
Librans are sensitive to the needs of others and have the gift, sometimes to an almost psychic extent, of understanding the emotional needs of their companions and meeting them with their own innate optimism - they are the kind of people of whom it is said, "They always make you feel better for having been with them." They are very social human beings. They loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity and detest conflict between people, so they do their best to cooperate and compromise with everyone around them, and their ideal for their own circle and for society as a whole is unity.
Their cast of mind is artistic rather than intellectual, though they are usually too moderate and well balanced to be avant garde in any artistic endeavor. They have good perception and observation and their critical ability, with which they are able to view their own efforts as well as those of others, gives their work integrity.
In their personal relationships they show understanding of the other person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship. They like the opposite sex to the extent of promiscuity sometimes, and may indulge in romanticism bordering on sentimentality. Their marriages, however, stand a good chance of success because they are frequently the union of "true minds". The Libran's continuing kindness toward his or her partner mollifies any hurt the latter may feel if the two have had a tiff. Nor can the Libran's spouse often complain that he or she is not understood, for the Libran is usually the most empathetic of all the zodiacal types and the most ready to tolerate the beloved's failings.
The negative Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness. It can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of routine, colorlessly conventional and timid, easygoing to the point of inertia, seldom angry when circumstances demand a show of annoyance at least; and yet Librans can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage. Their love of pleasure may lead them into extravagance; Libran men can degenerate into reckless gamblers, and Libran women extravagant, jealous and careless about money sometimes squander their wealth and talents in their overenthusiasm for causes which they espouse. Both sexes can become great gossipers. A characteristic of the type is an insatiable curiosity that tempts them to enquire into every social scandal in their circle.
In their work the description "lazy Libra" which is sometimes given is actually more alliterative than true. Librans can be surprisingly energetic, though it is true that they dislike coarse, dirty work. Although some are modestly content, others are extremely ambitious. With their dislike of extremes they make good diplomats but perhaps poor party politicians, for they are moderate in their opinions and able to see other points of view. They can succeed as administrators, lawyers (they have a strong sense of justice, which cynics might say could handicap them in a legal career), antique dealers, civil servants and bankers, for they are trustworthy in handling other people's money. Some Librans are gifted in fashion designing or in devising new cosmetics; others may find success as artists, composers, critics, writers, interior decorators, welfare workers or valuers, and they have an ability in the management of all sorts of public entertainment. Some work philanthropically for humanity with great self-disciple and significant results. Libran financiers sometimes make good speculators, for they have the optimism and ability to recover from financial crashes.
LIKES
The finer things in life
Sharing
conviviality
Gentleness
DISLIKES
Violence
Injustice
Brutishness
Being a slave to fashion

Wow, so surprised I came back alive after cycling from bukit timah to my house. Not that its a very far distance but it sure is tiring, especially with a bag. Just like fund said, the road back is longer than it seems. Way longer. And yes, along the way i passed by queensway shopping center and had a pit stop to shop for PINK clothes for Karen's bdae party. Trust her to come up with such an unfair dress code!!! Must protest!!
Anyway I managed to watch a movie called "IT" today. Its by Stephen King and was produced like around 10 years ago. Special effects then were so... backwards then that the supposedly horrifying scenes came out pretty much as jokes now, but i guess back then it must have done wonders. Anyway, I like it a lot, more then those stupid brainless horror movies nowadays with no storyline whatsoever. When i watch it i had the 'can't wait for the next scene to unveil' feeling, the want to know what's gonna happen next feeling. The first time i got this feeling out of a horror movie :).
Tired...I don't think i wanna post everything out here, shall bring them to my dreams. G'night everyone.
Tired but feeling great.

Everyone's been telling me how sucky uni is with those hi and bye friends and the insane amount of work people have to do but i guess anything to me would be better than ns. Anyway, i'm a wierd person who would rather be busy and be frustated at having too many things to do to not know what to start with rather than being too bored to the extent of not wanting to do anything. Which is exactly what i'm doing now.
Nonsensical Post

Went to watch Big Momma's House 2 with ming cia n yang today. Initially it was quite dull and boring but it started to produce really hilarious scenes which cracked all of us up after some warming up. Its a nice show :)
As usual i was blog-hopping and again i happened to come across a very inspiriing post about someone's jc life and experiences but i shall not mention who. The first feeling that came to my heart was that of envy and longing, how i wished i had such a fun time too, that I had enjoyed jc life as much as that person had described. How i wished I had such a bunch of close-knit friends, that i had been able to experience the same things that she put down. So much so that it almost shrouded me from my own experiences.
Almost.
Ironically, just a week a two ago, Mixue (I think) asked me how can anyone truly behappy. And i replied curtly, "When they learn to be content and satisified with what they have and stop comparing."
A short while after reading that person's post, I tried hard to dig out the lost memories in the depths of my mind, in an attempt to recall what i had done in those 2 years that i was in JC. Its then that i found out, that my own experience was in no way less enjoyable, less significant, more dull compared to others. That i had enjoyed JC life much, shared many a great moment with fond memories to look back upon with a smile. That i had made really good friends and strengthed the friendships such that i'm confident they would last me this lifetime. That i had, at the very least, enjoyed my time in JC as much as that person did. Now as i type this out, I'm feeling just a little bit stupid for feeling what i felt.
I want to write this down because i don't ever want to forget these memories. Writing them down makes me feel more secure, like they will never disappear. That should i ever forget anything important, I would know that it'll be written down somewhere to remind me. Much like a picture.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start with the UWA immersion trip as its simply the bestest best and unique. Remeber the first few days when we reached the campus, most of us can't get used to the taste of the water in the water-cooler (too much chlorine) and went OUTSIDE to buy mineral water. Then there's the canteen, our first lunch there and we go 'wah so much and nice'. Me sk jasp jiayang and a lot others took 2nd helpings even though we're not supposed to. The eerie green lights which shone on the trees at night, spooking some of us at first. Staying up WAY after lights off timing and secretly sneaking into the games room to play pool overnight and in the end a lot of end up sleeping during lessons!
The trip to the farm! Fox hunting, walking a longgggg distance up a hill to catch a glimsp of the beautiful sunset, staying up overnight (again) with sy and ching for stargazing, getting a celestial map from the farmers and trying soooo hard to locate the constellations. Then there was the truth or dare game with cia tengho yang in our sleeping quarters, with the most horrible of dares coming from yang. Almost laughed till we had no voices left.
And who can forget the 'raid' by eko and gang! Taking a camcorder and 'raiding' everyone's room on our floor. Shouts and screams everywhere. Even Mr. Kong played along and was caught in surprise 'changing out of his clothes'! Of course we took advantage of that! haha! He even gave us the master key for all the rooms just for the 'raid'.
Silly and childish things like 20+ 17 year olds playing pepsi cola 1 2 3 at the beach, a forfeit for jiayang to eat 3 LARGE plates for food for losing in a pool game, singing of a VERY EMBARASSING SONG (tian mi mi) in front of the whole school.
Back in school, during J1, there's my J1 class, the ass-niners. I remember the whole bunch of us being late for physics lab always, because mak mak is always late! Then on the the rare occassions that he's early, we would still be munching and yakking away at the canteen. Mdm Lee (aka sy's mum haha!) with her idiotic alarm block she uses for chem test which everyone hates. Then there's Mr Leow and Ms wun, our math and bio teachers who teaches exceptionally well. It is all thanks to Mr Leow that I can revive my dying mathematical capabilities (though its dying again now). To think that when he first came into our class we were like "Liao already la!". Ms Loh's motherly nature and great patience. She's the only teacher who truly endured my nonsense and open sleeping during tutorials. She's a really great tcher n I really didn't want to sleep! But i'm too tired anyways.
Air Rifle club. The club with members seriously split far far apart but which i enjoyed nontheless because of ppl like Tth, gim, candice, ber etc. Can still distincly rememberthe long training hours, us being baked in the oven called range in school. How, during competitions, our jaws dropped when Temasak lived up to its reputation by putting together a row of chairs and stared mugging. DURING COMPETITION!!! How we secretly took Shona Chan's picture because of someone's infatuation.
Not to forget the many times me tth n gim chiong for a late night movie right after training. Or playing laser quest at CDANS. Candice licking the remnants of her cake off the plastic knife used to cut her bdae cake. The water bombs during Rifle camp which we secretly put some flour into. Playing catch around the whole school compound after midnight. The search for Candice's lost chain till daybreak. The stress during Nationals, how some cried for making costly mistakes. The failed chalet (which I think was quite fun anyway). Cycling the wrong way to Changi prison instead of to the haunted house.
Then there's the first 3 mths with great friends like Reina, Jasmine and Yiting. Bad me always getting into trouble with Mrs Leong for being absolutely horrible in math and yet still sleeping in her class, if i'm there that is. Ponning classes and leaving during recess to go ice-skating or to the beach. When Tth's class pon to go sentosa, I can still remember Mr. Mak telling Tth, " Your class go sentosa, why you never go? Never ask me along also." He's just simply the slackest teacher ever but he reaches really well. We all loved him to bits.
The movie marathons..CNY at mak's hse, marche, random stayovers at belle's house, playing Truth or Dare II with cia mingyue belle nic and glen and belle's perverted little brother who's interested in guys!! Mingyue and her scandalous affair with johnny!! And zidane!! Her seriously wierd tastes. Rae and her wild tastes and daring choices for nail colour! Her obsession with Johnny Deep and Tomoya Nagase, absolute nono to ecp, a really fun person to hang out with. :)
During J2, my class was split up by the darn school. And i landed up in S7. Eko!! I'll always be ready and waiting for u to challenge me in badminton anytime! Then there's me and Chinni, dubbed the pillars of sleep. We would be seated around chia hwee, and almost all the time, we would be sleeping and chia hwee awake smack in betwen us, hence the nick. Its also then that we discovered Chinni's amzaing ability to fall aslp at any moment anytime and waking up when ppl look at him. He can be busy smsing or writing in one moment and then, at the very next moment, he would be sleeping (sometimes with loud snoring). Then, he would wake up the next moment and continue whatever he's doing as though nothing happened. Amazing I tell you!
How can JC be complete without Mugging! Ok that didn't come out right. Studied at all possible places like mac, bk, libraries, sch canteen, rooftop cafe, void decks etc with many different people. Always looking to peiling for math answers and bugging the hell out of others with my questions.
If i were to go on its endless! Anyway at the end of the day, JC's worth much more than that piece of paper called cert you receive at the end of the day. I've definitely learned much more than just the books and papers, and gotten from JC things and values more valuable than the results. Things like, friendship, learning to treasure and love my friends which is very important to me, picking yourself up when you fall, memories of wonderful times spent together. So a big thank you to all the friends I've made during those 2 years of my life, and for making them so colourful and pleasant. I wouldn't know what JC life would be like without you guys, and with you all, I've come out a much stronger and better individual than I was before I enter JC.
Tribute to JJ

I'm feeling pretty hyper right now so i'll just type out whatever comes to my mind first.
Short update on the army. The past few days had been pretty busy for me with all the arrowing and crap thats been left by god knows who but left for me to clear it up. Sick as it may sound though, i'd rather be busy than have nothing to do. At the very least, i won't feel like i'm wasting my life for what? around 76cents an hour? Time pass faster when i'm busy too, so its a good thing anyway. Thats about it =/.
Badminton last sat with cia and gang was fun! Much more so than the last few weeks when i played with the rest. Maybe its their level of enthusiasm and crappiness. Cia n karen were always laughing while me and yang were always suaning the others. Glendon was smug as always :P. Its a pity that this wkend's courts were already fully booked. And they were only released for booking just today!! :(!!!
Its hard not to make a comparison, but i really can't smell the same level of enthusiasm when i played with clement n fund n mg and all. Yea, can't deny that some really do like the sport a lot but, well, it just isn't that fun. Damn its hard to stay politically correct xD.
I read Sharon's blog, shan't divulge which part, and thought that i do the same thing all the time too. That is, when i'm feeling down and out, i would have the sudden urge to go to somewhere quiet and with a nice view. Like the park nearby my house. Or the beach. Let the cool breeze blow all over me, listen to my music, and stare into nothingness. Only difference is, often i wished there were someone beside me. Whoever.
These few weeks i've been sleeping a lot. Its like catching up with my sleep debt that i'd incurred from since ages ago. argh!!! I don't want to sleep but can't help feeling tired nowadays!! What a waste of time!!
Except for today that is. Speaking of which i should probably get some sleep now. Ja mata ne~
Random incoherent crapping
