on being garang:
woke up today with my throat feeling like sandpaper. my sore throat had evolved to a cough which was probably the result of sleeping at 1.30am the night before because of darn youtube. it didn't help that it was frigging pouring last night and i got up at like 4 to close the bleeding windows.
then i received a msg from lao shi telling me that she was on medical leave so i had to take cle (Y) i am truly a creature of routine, even though i was feeling like crap i still dragged myself out of bed into sch because i have been doing so for the past 12 years guh.
ended up typing out my instructions on the computer because my throat was hurting way too badly. i'm really getting irritated. it wouldn't be that bad if the comments were intelligent or witty but they're so bloody puerile and childish. respect for their peers and some deviation from the usual herd mentality would be a welcome change too.
on getting old:
watched dr doolittle out of sheer boredom ytd. this song came on and i automatically sang along because it sounded familiar then i realised it was o-town's "we fit together" after the first 2 lines. because certain songs evoke certain past memories i just had to go down the lane of the good old days before i finally remembered that the word "old" was not meant in jest most of the time.
then you have gold 90 fm playing music from 98 degrees which is most insulting because those songs are not classic hits. to qualify as classic hits, songs must be at least 10 years old. and i bet half the sch population don't know who the heck the spice girls are yay.
on unis:
i got into nus engine, surprise surprise. in the thick envelope they sent over, one of the pamphlets said "nus students' union - a guide to camps" and i was more interested in the students' union bit than in the camps bit because the term union just conjures up images of the 1950s, no? on the page for the engine camp there's this one line "make new acquaintances, soul mates or even meet your BETTER HALF!" such inspiring prospects, meet my better half in engine, i think not.
and prospective undergrads must go through some health screening thing, which includes a chest x-ray which is pretty o.O they also included the usp brochure in the envelope, DEADLINE OVER ALREADY YOU GIVE ME FOR BLOODY WHAT
i think i have a fever. i shall sleep now before my day decides to get any better for me. maybe it's the staff meeting.
ps: buy tickets to sentio or at least make a donation. we'll get hauled up in court if we don't meet a certain amount.
our day will come.
