Glee

Hello Everybody!

I'm totally suffering from Glee-withdrawal symptoms at the moment. Just finished watching the episodes available for Season 1, and now i can't wait for April to roll on by, and for the next 9 eps to come out! Meanwhile, to fill this gaping hole, i'll have to turn to 2 things. 1) HIMYM and Pushing Daisies Eps, 2) the end of my groundature, and FREEDOM to go meet friends once again! ... if they will meet me :(

I realised that i have been seriously over eating for the past few days. i'll still do my gym and swim occasionally, but i'm eating a lot more too... that's not a good thing. must find away to distract myself, and focus on the weight loss!!!

January will be over by monday. wow. Feb will bring Ex Odyssey, Chinese New Year (+ CNY eve duty >.<) and should roll along quite fast too. I dunno why i feel so tired >.<

I had a good Project in camp recently. it really made me feel accomplished, and like i'm stepping up to fill the role as a senior in Ops Section. It was tiring as heck, but it felt rewarding when everything was finished. though i also know there's alot of follow up actions with the conclusion of the project, but work that i'm willing to do, and will make this year be more meaningful.

January felt like it slipped through my fingers. i wasn't really in control. i feel in control when i do things, when i initiate and finish things on my own. Janaury felt routine, like i've just continued to do what i usually do... hmmm... i don't really like that. maybe i'm just too restless.

By the way... I've passed my Driving Test! 10 Demerits only, and no immediate failures! so my license (the card) will come in a month, but i'm allowed to drive already! allowed in the sense of the Law, but not allowed in the sense of my parents >.< I know they are being concerned parents, and worry about my safety, but the initial feeling is still crappy, that they would like to instill such strict conditions for my first year of driving. hopefully i can show them that i'm a good driver, and impress them enough to let me drive on my own and subsequently with friends.

Nua-ness is returning... not a nice feeling

SYAK IS BACK. have i mentioned that already? hmm... still she's been back for about 1+ weeks now? still haven't met her. gotta plan something!!! miss her so bad. wish i had more time... but wait! i've got a day of Off from the Project! yes... maybe i'll use that soon :D then try to sneak in a bit more off with duties and such... yes yes!

okay, while i'm still on a high on planning what to do. let's try to meet Varun this evening!

GLEE
Fave songs at the moment:
No Air
Somebody to Love
My Life Would Suck Without You
Take a Bow

Square Brackets

Its the 24th of January.

wow really? already! woohoo, Jan is almost over, which means my grounding will soon be grounded! yes!

Though i must admit, it really gave me time to spend focusing on myself, and figuring out what 2010 is gonna be for me. [and watching ALOT of HIMYM LegendARY! (its so awesome when you know other people who watch it too!)] <- see how i had to use both regular and square brackets! this is not good, i need to learn to start using commas and using less brackets >.<

anyway. Sergeant pay countdown: 17 days.... oooh, i can smell it now. but most of this has already been spent, with Japanese Language Class costing me a hefty $300, and i think if i start dance in feb, that's another $100 gone. not to mention the Music i have been buying. and clothes i intend to get. oh god, i've turned into a big spender >.< may He have mercy on my wallet/bank account.

still, i've gotta think about what else i want to do. Feb, sounds like a busy month, with 2 weeks i believe will be stay in. (Ex Odyssey) it couldn't have come at a worse time, since SYAK IS BACK!!! just want to meet up with her as soon as possible! can't wait for that!

Oh yes... Swaveboard, i owe someone an appointment! haha.

hoping that my obsession with American TV will pass with January (though i will still be tuning in on my iPod) dammit, commas! it will have to at least dial down, so that i can go out more and go experience the world beyond my 3.5 inch screen.

I've been neglecting my phone, and my email. hmm...

BUT FIRST! i've gotta get my driving done!!! erk, i hope i pass >.<

I've learnt that i've got to give things, people and myself, time and space to breathe. So to a better February, i anticipate!

January

Hi.

January has all been about driving lessons

and swimming/gym

and GATO

and staying at home (i don't count the 1st week, that is New Year Celebration, not really January)

and watching Shows

and learning to focus,

and knowing i'm not quite there on the focusing bit.

ahh January.

Legend... wait for it... ary

Just spent my entire (grounded) weekend watching HIMYM Season 2. and it was Legend... - wait for it - ... ary! haha. dammit, makes me wish i stayed in the east with Kenneth and Eugene, then could have joined them all those times for HIMYM Marathons. but WOW, the show is great.

Its gonna be my new FRIENDS :D

Hand Doodling and simpler times

Today while sitting in camp feeling bored, I pulled out my black marker pen and started doodling on my backhand. A nice little doodle I might add! Very tribal, will post it on my blog if I bother later, heh.

It reminded me of a time in TJ, when me and Varun (Varun and I!)were playing around with our markers and pens and did simple 2-hand combo doodles.

2-hand Combo Doodles

2 simple pictures, one drawn on each back hand, that when revealed would pair each other in theme.

For e.g.

Hand #1: red and orange striped umbrella
Hand #2: raincloud

Hand #1: Green Chocmint icecream (with cone!)
Hand #2: puddle of green with chocolate bits

You get the idea.

It was so simple but yet so pretty :)

Life was so much simpler in school. Lots of free time to kill and lots of friends surrounding you to kill time with. So many times humming around the canteen, or in the classroom and filming riduculous videos, ah, good times, goood times :)

Then I thought about this isn't the only thing that has changed. When I used to see everyone in school (and because I know all of us stay late in school) we wouldn't need to "meet up" and a simple telephone call would suffice.

Oh how we loved to talk! Talk straight into the night, until our ears got hot from being on the ear peice for so long, and our throats slowly getting drier.

And some how we slowly traded them for meet up sessions, which are great too, but it takes too much planning and effort for each instance, such that we don't catch up on regular days any more.

With a whirlwind which was 2009 I'm ready to try and slowly take at the reins of my life again and get off my lazy ass to do what needs to be done to stay in touch.

One of my new year resolutions: to learn how to use the phone again :) keeping in touch is more than grand events and outings, I've got to keep things simple!

One liners

I've got a truckload of emails i want to reply... but i'm lazy. like too tired to think of a nice reply lazy. bleargh.

I like watchin 1 Litre of Tears on my iPod!

Wednesday is cooking/baking/catching up day.

I would like someone to talk to, like sit down and talk for loong times.

TA Batch Gathering was gorgeous :) i'm jealous! wanna do something cool like that too!

I went for Canoe Polo again! good times, good times.

but tired, lah.

I'm grounded for the month of January :( sort of.

I met Stephanie Sim at City Hall today! Talk about COINCINDENCE (oh, and another person to email!)

Its 2010! what am i going to do thsi year? o.O

playlist: Navy (BlackBlue)

Top 3 songs i'm listening to now:

Warwick Avenue - Duffy
Dreaming with a Broken Heart - John Mayer
Clockwatching - Jason Mraz

such nice songs. very lull-y haha, songs to help me unwind. i should really get down to doing my ipod playlists, but for now i shall be content with my shuffle function.

Happy 2010. i want everyone i know to be part of my new year's resolution. i haven't quite firmed up what it is yet, but i know it involves you :)
