Ah.

We have the same eyes dark and chestnut hair. But I am a lame gallimaufry and she remains perfect.

Man's confidence can be such a mortal, fallible thing...

Rare times when chocolate and Arnott's only help so much

Ah give up la. When it gets too damn tiring to continue being nice to a solid brick wall, unless your family, future or food depends on it, the most sensible thing to do is to just find something more worthwhile to channel all that effort into.

Like plan fun things to do after 4pm tomorrow. *beams*

And Pops was just saying yesterday that sometimes when you're too nice, people step all over you; respect only comes after you've asserted your authority and made clear that you are not to be bullied. (Does this sound like I'm being bullied? I'm not, no worries, this example is within a separate context.)

Deep-fried Oreos

Man, don't these look good. The caption for this picture on nydailynews.com is: '...deep-fried Oreos are the standard-bearers, found at fairs and at confectioners across this great, fat land.' Hahaha. I would not enjoy staying in the States.

A List of Overlapping Goals

Next year's ECA will involve:

1. Something fun (good for the soul)
   
2. Something that involves community service
   
3. Something that would teach me a new skill
4. Something that is done with a bunch of friends
5. Something that keeps me healthy (some sort of sport, probably)
6. Something I'm good at (in case I start wondering what the whole point of my existence is)
7. Something musical or language-related

These are the non-living things I want to commit my time to next year, while studying. A rather long list, but a single activity will very likely allow me to cross out two or three at one go. So it's very feasible, really. :)

The great springclean

My personal favourite is Number 29: Use it to prove you can fight your way out of a paper bag. This paper bag is from Perth - too bad we don't find ingenious things like that here.

Fresh air and sunshine

We need to go out and do fun things and read more books to fix our English that is becoming more and more atrocious by the day and crawl out of this little black hole and not waste more months and years away wallowing in the quagmire like what happened last year. Oh, and we need to go back to youtube because it makes us laugh out loud so happy hormones are released into the blood which makes for brighter and lighter moods.


P.S. The lack of punctuation is because of the Kreacher complex we are going through at the mo.

Haengbok!

That's me!

I made such a nice mnemonic yesterday - Heechul Buys Blue Presents* - but I shall never have to use it ever again. BM and History books all packed up, seven more to go!

* Hakim, Cukai, Bahagi, Balai, Peranan - guess which chapter.
