still alive and well
I'M completely, utterly, superbly, annoyingly, endlessly and wholesomely, bored out of my wits.
BEFORE anyone makes any more cynical comments abt me not working and bumming around still... JUST to clear the record, I've decided to try my hand at relief teaching. AND it's official because I've submitted the application online AND I've got accepted. what's left for me to do is wait while some school decides they require my service. and good thing, because patience is a virtue i have bouts of at the moment.
FACEBOOK is fast bordering on something to pass time, with nobody joining my favorite-at-the-moment applications like VAMPIRE WARS, MAFIA WARS, DRAGON WARS, FASHION WARS et cetera even when I'm happily convinced they wld with my daily sent out invitations.
I'M not gg to msia in Mar with my parents already with SMU and NUS's openhouses. what's more with the short uni application period. and hopefully, trip to LA wld still be a yes.
at a standstill
whilst the ntu talk was useful and productive, there is still plenty of uncertainty in my mind right now. all i possess are some rough ideas. met numerous familiar faces and this and that, yadayada. ultimately, it all depends on your results. sighs
anyway i duno if i should still consider going for the Malaysia trip in mar now that i realized - i admit I'm slow on the uptake these days - that application process starts 3days after the release of results (this i know), but it ends promptly on 1st April. seeing how I'm still undecided for most parts, i dun think i can afford the luxury of time to go enjoy someone's wedding at ease. oh my. why are all life-altering decisions so difficult to make? ha i kinda have an oxymoron thingy going on there, haven't i? lol
this entry is so out-of-no-where.
to hell and back
called ntu office and was finally... finally assured that the confirmation email wasn't a problem. thank goodness.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Omg. First I think an apology is somehow required. Hehe Nigel that pig was the first who had initially asked me out to catch it with him on sat, but I brushed him off because it was a weekend (think ex tixs) and my aunt had that disc. So with any common sense, anyone in the right mind would do as I would. Right. Then today I went to catch it with my friends. Lol I can feel the guilt poking me in the guts. But really, being jobless forces you to think in terms of economics. Between planning how to sustain my well-being and splurging on luxury with my pocket money, I need to raise money for my LA trip. Hahaha but I think I’m becoming used to guilt maybe it’s conscience nigging at the back of my mind every now and then. Just like how I want to find/get a job, but everyday I find myself not doing it. Life is a big contradiction. At least it is for me. Lol
Anyway, TCCOBB is seriously worth all its 13 Oscar nominations. Anybody who’s hesitating/considering, drop all your inhibitions and go catch it! And in order not to spill the beans, I shall comment vaguely on it. The whole story is pretty enthralling from the start till the end. And the guy who kept repeating, “Did I tell you that I got struck by lightning seven times,” was really hilarious. But he only mentioned five times how he was struck. One was while walking his dog, two on his way to the postbox, three him in his truck, four tending to cows, and I can’t remember the last one. Anyway, it was a terrific show, really. Worth 10bucks I guess, for all the laughter, tears and suspense I’ve had during the movie. Although I can’t, for the love of me, figure out how my companions managed to yawn at parts of the show. Well, I guess it’s the different people different perspectives thingy going. And oh, the movie is 166min. Mm, but then again, now that I’m thinking about it, it doesn’t quite make any sense for Benjamin’s mother to give birth to him the way he is. Maybe it’s because of the significance of the reverse clock and that he was borne on the midnight after the Great War ended. And then the whole hurricane scene didn’t seem to make much sense.
Dinnered at Aston’s with kayan, Theresa, yenleng and yiling. Food was okay and pretty affordable although the service could be better. And then there’s the long queue to take into consideration. Anyway, we spent quite some time after that at the lan shop to play table soccer. Lol. Being what and who we are (girls), we got excited easily and had a great time, and that translated to sounds – screamings and laughings. But thankfully, no one chased us out. I think in total, we spent about 8bucks or so on the table soccer or otherwise known as foosball. Lol
anyway, wiki has a very lengthy sypnosis about the film. if you dun mind spoilers, go check it out!
meant to tread the waters?
omg and i still havent got the confirmation email. drats. maybe it's the application taking place at close to midnight on a friday/saturday thingy. tsk. they shld have an automated system that sends the email once and immediately after the user has completed the process. sheesh. and to think i woke up abruptly at 7am despite only gg to bed at 3 the previous night. jeez. mustkeepmymindbusy, mustkeepmymindbusy, mustkeepmymindbusy etc...
Thank God for small favours
actually, i thank the stars and the moon and whatever or whoever's on top watching over me. but really, thanks to yenleng esp. i almost missed out on the ntu talk after so much hype cos i blindly skipped the part having to sign up for it. 5 minutes ago was a truly holy shit moment and i think i'm experiencing a little relief right now. except i have yet to receive the confirmation email yet. bloody nerves. smth nagging at the back of my head, and premature alarm bells are ringing, what if i accidentally typed the wrong email. that wld be damn fked up. but i rmbr scanning for the details and confirming them. crapcrapcrap. i'm crossing everything i have now.
