it's gonna be a LONG AND WORDY entry.
especially the last part, but that's the most important of all.

and school has started!
with my free as anything timetable,
for the first 3 days i pretty much didn't need to go to school at all.
just that because we've a performance coming up (next tues)
which is why all of us are staying back to practise.
oh man, i'm soooo behind everyone because i went for japanese classes yesterday.
hope today i can at least scrape one of the choreos =\

yesterday?
went to school early to have breakfast with my friend.
could see the pretty banner from where i was sitting.
that table is a gooooood table =D
if i were to sit in one of that chairs and take a picture,
it'll be as if i'm sitting with the banner =D
i can so imagine all the jj people in nie who sees that goes 'oh man, jjc again???'

then it was math lectures,
in which we actually have seating arrangements?! =\
according to seating plan, at least i still have enxian and chris as company,
but felicia and yimin... =(
so after that lecture, when the other lecturer (with no seating arrangements) took over,
we hurriedly sat together again XD
signs of clique-ness XD

then... yimin, jac, enxian and i went to jurong point to check out t-shirts for df,
semi-shopped.... at fair price XD
had lunch at mos burger XD
thereafter yimin and jac went back for impre prac,
enxian and i stayed in mos burger,
he did his tutorial (nuts, but then again when you're bored..)
and i revised my japanese.
oh man, all the stuff that i've forgot XD

but it all came to good use,
at least i don't find myself confused.
i was a little apprehensive that since everyone is taking el2,
they should be serious and more... fluent.
but turns out that i still worry too much XD
next course perhaps?

i suspect my teacher thinks i'm a littttleee bored with his lessons,
because he threw me more challenging questions =\
all i did was to answer his question properly,
and not using the examples the school gave. =\
but i intend to continue to persuade him to give me challenging questions.
not that i'm a show-off (i would like to though *wriggle eyebrows*)
just that my jap school is the one of the only 2 channels where i can speak in japanese.
so of course i'll cling on to every opportunity to speak.

oh, it's funny, cos he asked me 'kinoo nani o shimashitaka?'
which means 'what did you do yesterday?'
and i said 'dansu o shimashita'
which is 'i danced', referring to dancefuzion (yeah we had carol back again =D)
and he asked 'oh, you dance?'
i answered 'it's a club.'
... then i realised that the others perceived
and i quickly amended 'school club, school club' XD
wahahaha, i haven't been to a club to dance before.
(though i went there to watch people dance, in a competition)
which reminds me, when are my lovelies (i.e my weekenders) going there?

arghh... i'm sitting here typing,
when there are like, tons upon tons of tasks at hand.
i think the prospect, the thought of cleaning up my once-again-messy room,
turns me off so much that i haven't been using my room.
now my room is really just for me to have my quiet time XD
oh dear, my room turned into a closet XD

i just feel so sluggish when i think about the amount of things to do,
the frustration when i can't categorise this item etc.
at least i tried to redeem myself...
by rearranging my story-books on my shelf,
and discovering books i haven't read yet...
but... i still have books i wanna buy... XD

oh, i must confess.
recently i have taken this little fancy over robert pattison.
it's the first time i'm goo goo ga ga-ing over a celebrity, so the feeling is new XD
he's not even goodlooking all the time.
it's just a particular angle he turns his head that will catch my attention in the movie.
no felicia, it's not the angle where his distinct jawline is seen XD
yeah, but i don't screech whenever i see him,
i'll just... take another look, that's all =)
so i think this fancy isn't serious XD



i know it's 2009, but i still wanna thank the people who contributed to my birthday =D
i wanted to put it in my notes on facebook, but they don't let me tag,
so i'll just put it here and hope that everyone someday will know how much i appreciate their smallest efforts.
