Swimming with a raincoat.

I hope Mr Ixer and Ms Wu are ok with my IS cos that means i'll almost be done with it. Finally.
[I did enjoy it though.]

Close to no one's updating anymore. I'm surprised i'm not part of them. I don't even blog properly when it's not exam time.

Not much news, except that Sundar's settling down in BEAUTIFUL Illinois! the campus is really really nice.
I'll put up some of his pictures another time, there's something wrong with the server now.

And Sowmya's settling in at Prince George's Park at NUS. I don't think it's as grand as it sounds. At least it saves travelling time. =]


I found this scribble of mine in my notebook:

Did you ever know?
I love the length of your hair,
Just before it's cut.

I think that was during the phase I kept scribbling haikus everywhere. I particularly like that one.







"Don't wanna reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you.
The little things give you away."

Another ditch in the road, you keep moving.

Hello all. Laura i'm updating cos you told me to! =] (and girl you haven't sent me your IS =] )

In other words, things are as hectic as always. Though i still don't think the real pressure's sunk in completely yet.

The workload's getting heavier though. Everything's piling up and sometimes i don't know which to do first. All those incomplete lit essays or maths and physics tutorials or studying for chem and math tests or IS or general revision. Just 2 weeks left! Man.

Raghav, thanks for the study tip =] And if you're reading this, i commented on yours! Didja see?

The J1s' Feeling Fab was so much more fab than ours! They had choices like windsurfing and scuba diving and archery and go-karting and lots more. Oh well. Hope they had fun.

14-ers and 43-ers, we should go ice-skating as a class after the As! It'll be really really fun! (Thanks vy for teaching me how!)

If my KI and lit essays are gonna be as unconnected and disorganised as this post (and most of my other posts, in fact) i'm doomed.

Savage Garden is just as great as ever, even in the light of the ever-popular LP and FOB and MCR and all the new bands that pop up everyday. Not just for the music, but the lyrics as well. And darren's stage presence. Bernadette, an online friend from the US, and I created the Savage Gardeners, a group for Savage Garden fans =D And though she'll probably never read this, thanks so much for the HD video for I Want You, Bern! Savage Gardens songs address different issues and the lyrics are so deep.

Guess i should go study for the chem test.

Gosh i miss cricket like crazy.

Smile, l-aura! Things are probably much simpler than they seem =]



These lyrics are stuck in my head.

"Another ditch in the road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on."

-Two Beds and a Coffee Machine



"Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud.
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe.
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart.
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees.
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe."

-Hold Me
