thank goodness for my rice cooker. and slow cooker.

But I need more than rice! I feel like eating 小白菜. Steamed fish. Taugeh. Simple things like that. And tonight's dinner is... roast.

...sigh...

some thoughts while eating instant beehoon

(no, not ABOUT the beehoon.)

We had laska for lunch in college today! which I couldn't eat... but thanks for calling me for lunch anyway, Fabian. So now I'm having beehoon with tamari sauce in my room. And a bit of yoghurt. Hopefully it will sustain me until dinner.

Oh! James has pansies and geraniums and sweet peas and lavender in his room! Haha he called me over just now, saying "I have something to show you." Turned out to be the flowers... so pretty! Thanks for showing me... I'm all happy and high now. by the way, YY, most of the flowers were purple! I have a feeling I'll be seeing more flowers next year. I really hope I get that room... pleasepleaseplease let me move in there...

And I got another nice surprise when I went for lecture just now... Clarise gave me a whole bag of bananas. Which just cracked us both up. Having one banana now... so ripe and sweet!

Seriously, with friends like these, it doesn't matter that my efforts over a certain issue haven't given any results. No change at all. But I've done what I can, it's up to you now, and if you won't take the opening now... well it will always be there. Whenever you're ready. It's really up to you now to change things. I'm at peace with what's going on. Not happy about it, but I accept it.

oh yes... did this a few days ago when I got sick of anatomy.

Music update: Just discovered that I really shouldn't listen to duets when I'm studying. I can't concentrate as well, because I'll be too fixated on the harmonies. I've been hooked on duets and on 恋东方 since Saturday.

Aha! Finished my beehoon! just as I ran out of things to write about too... good timing!

two weeks

Two busy weeks, to be precise... even the weekends have been crammed full of activity and studying.

Makes me wonder why I went for the Quad Party... after the Mid-Autumn celebration/bbq, no less. For which I ended up dancing in a long green skirt and pink windbreaker, because Kul needed a ChangEr for Anthony's HouYi. Oh and the suns died pretty amusing deaths, I must say. No mooncakes for me though... *sighs* and then the Friday night mood took over, sending me over to Miri's room to figure out what to wear to the quad party in place of clothes.
And then the study mood pushed me back to making FCP notes at about 10pm. Thankfully that mood lasted over the weekend and right up to lunch time on Wednesday, or I wouldn't have studied as much as I did, what with choir rehearsals and practicing for the competition. The midsem wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... pretty sure I won't fail it. *crosses fingers*

I'm just glad that Talent Night was after FCP. I doubt I could have had that much fun otherwise. Congrats to Chris Lee, you're amazing man!

Susanty!!!
Thanks to everyone who came!

Then Thursday night comes by and guess what? There's choir again! (what's new...?) And Spring Feast! Where I had pulut hitam... sweet corn... teh tarik... honeydew sago... chicken satay... and got to watch Chris perform again! wonder where that random waterbottle came from though. Did anyone note its trajectory before it hit the stage and burst?

As for Friday, well... I meant to finish up FCP in the afternoon, but went shoe shopping (alone... *sniffles*) instead. How I managed to spend TWO WHOLE HOURS on a single pair of simple, not-too-formal, low-heeled black shoes, I'll never know. In YY's words... black formal shoes... you'd think it would be easy. but noooo...........

And then Saturday was gone too, in a rush of preparing for the Ball, singing, dressing up, taking College photos and dressing up again, before finally scrambling onto the bus to Hilton. It was an enjoyable night, to say the least...
3 pretty girls and their bodyguards
Someone's hungry... and the bus isn't even here yet!
James' creation
Pretty lights over the dance floor
Me, Gen, Fabian, Joy, Jono, Miriam, Chin Loon
Ericius and Melvin...

Highlights of the night:1. dessert! I got to eat chocolate cake!!! SAFE chocolate cake, with chocolate, chocolate sauce and chocolate ice cream. sheer bliss. I will forever be thankful to the chef for creating a menu suited to pickypickyme.
2. Wilson got so drunk he fell asleep halfway through dinner and had to take a taxi back to college...
3. Funny... I thought I had more pictures of the dance floor... oh well, doesn't matter. Pretty much everyone was dancing, and I must say, there's quite a number of good dancers. Yes Jono, I look forward to dancing with you again too! I didn't know most of the songs, but who cares... all so dance-inducing... Oh and if my hair looks red, it's because Miri and I coloured it that day. And washed it off again that night.
4. Turns out Ericius was drunk enough to get us to sing Locus Iste, This Joy, Bogor (can't spell the full title) and Ave Verum Corpus on the bus back to college (and not really remember it the next day). The most interesting comment of the night? "These Asians... how can they sing so well when they're drunk?" Why thank you, we got the right starting notes and stayed on pitch. (But I don't drink.)

The next three days were taken up by mugging, choir, more mugging, more choir, and falling sick. gah. And if that wasn't enough... there was still more mugging and more choir! Just look at the to-do list in the last post and you'll know what I mean.

As with every other performance... I'm relieved that the concert is over (no more hectic practices on top of school work... almost exam time...), but there's still that sense of loss. Well... I think "The Great Southland" was well done... as were "Receive the Power" and "Locus Iste". Wonder what everyone thinks of "O Bone Jesu"? I haven't heard anything about it... On the other hand... "Ecce Fidelis Servus" lacked emotion, and "Festival Sanctus" lacked energy. Again, thanks to everyone who came!
singing made me hungry...

To end off (and to show that I'm really not just playing, I'm studying too!)... here's another to-do list.
1. Finish NS Anatomy take-home quiz by 4pm Sunday
2. Finish NS Physiology lab report by 4pm Sunday
3. Finalise FCP portfolio by 11pm Sunday
4. Finish MGC lab reports by Monday 3pm
5. Finish preparing for NS Anatomy lab by Monday 6pm

9. Next FCP PBL by Saturday noon... because...
10. KTV on Saturday! and
11. Choir dinner on Sunday!

39 days before I see home~

just a quick one before I go for class

I think I've got most of the Ball pictures... I just don't feel like blogging about it yet. I know that once I do, I'll take ages to finish it, and there's no way I'll finish before I have to leave for lecture. So... another time.

The concert is tomorrow night and I have a sore throat. oh joy.

You know what? I will pray, and pray hard.
