2000 Hits today!

Okay, this is a bit dumb but yup I hit 2000 views today on this blog. This's my second blog since I started blogging more than 3 years back. Initially it was just to vent some frustration and feelings that couldn't be openly shared. Kept the first blog private, and for the eyes of my very close friends. It was a great avenue for my expression and I surprised myself when I found myself tearing reading my own entries, 'cause I felt so pathetic. Anyway that all in the past, now that I've shifted to the new address it was the web design that kind of interests me. Enjoy shifting my divisions around on the page, adding music, photos, videos. Nothing fantastic but it was fun considering all I had known about html previously was bold, italic and underline.

Hope anyone reading my blog hasn't been bored by my routine lifestyle. Life's toned down a lot since the second year, probably my personal change physically and mentally. Hopefully life will take a pleasant twist in the next year when I step out to work, but before that it's a month before the exams and surprisingly I'm already feeling the heat. For no particular reason I started blabbering my exam dates just now, trying to recall each date. I think I freaked dear out a bit with that. No worries, I'm not going bonkers yet, just stressed and tired. Okay time for a well-deserved rest from a entire night of mugging. Ta~!

JaY!!! 杰伦!!!

啊!Hysteria!! 快要发疯了!杰伦要来开演唱会了!Finally! After 2 years from 无与伦比 2004!Yesterday I was so sad and disappointed I couldn't get the tickets and this morning I was even more disheartened when the server kept showing that the $198 and $168 tickets were left with single seats. BUT lucky lucky me!! Managed to squeeze in just before the server downtime AND called through to hotline to get help just in case I missed the reserved seats. 哈哈!真幸运!杰伦在保佑我!虽然说他的新专辑有一点地跌破眼镜,but I will still 支持他的作品的!啊!兴奋!多么期待明年1月19日的来临,再次的为杰伦尖叫,与多过一万名Jay的歌影迷们来个大合唱。嘿,让我妈知道我花了近两百块卖门票一定被骂到丑头。But I don't really care cause all I know now is that I'm so happy! So happy I can listen to Jay every single day, all the way till his concert, until after his concert even! Let now just indulge in a bit of his glory.

Not bad right? Kinda style. Well maybe I'm just biased. Anyway I'm making sure I buy memorabilia this time round. Go early I pick the ones I want. And I hope he'll have a concert DVD like for Incomparable.

His new album is coming too. As I said earlier, of the song I heard on radio, really 跌破眼镜 but the other songs I heard not that bad actually. Better hit the music stores this weekend to preorder. :P

杰伦万岁!无与伦比!Wonder what will be this year's concert name or slogan.

Gastric Flu

Been down with the worst viral infection since years. Doctor says it's likely gastric flu, if not a mild case of food poisoning. In any case getting much better, after having to go through my 50% oral presentation in cold sweat (from the pain n anxiety) and missing my PE quiz.

Anyway it started on tuesday after dinner. Wasn't feeling too good from the sudden change of hot weather in the morning then shivering cold in the afternoon and evening. So basically I came back to hall feeling a little sniffly. During dinner I ate very little, food wasn't too appetitizing anyway. After that I went back and start having cold hands and feet, so I thought "probably the weather". So I cuddled under my blankie and rested. Tossed and turned but couldn't sleep, then I started sweating like I was having fever. So that's how my whole night went on tuesday.

So on wednesday, I woke up to a bad spell of nausea. Vomitted everything including the water I drank when I woke up. But since the presentation was so important and it involved my other groupmates, I really couldn't jeopardize their efforts. While ironing the top I borrowed from LL (Thanks! I'll return it next week, washed and ironed!), I ran to the toilet and vomitted. On my way to school, I vomitted. When I was in class I was basically pale. Luckily it got a bit better as the day proceeded, so I could still go to the doctor with my dear's company and down half a bowl of fish soup. So grateful to have my darling with me, if not I'll really be feeling extra terrible physically and psychologically.

Now the pain had more or less subsided, but the tummy's still bloated with air which is making it miserable for me. Trying to fart but can't. Applied medicated oil, laid on my tummy, sat in the toilet bowl, all I could get out of that was a single fart. Drats. Hopefully I can get my hands on some ginger tea which I think will be great. Okay back to my trying to fart. Byes.

Hall life

Just celebrated a friend's birthday. Somehow it wasn't as fun as it used to, and that's an understatement. As I recall, back in Year 1 we were less worrisome of our grades or anything for that matter. Now not only have our group size dwindling, it's also less of an enjoyment to be with. With so many things to bog us down, grades, future employment and of course gossips, which is the least of the many concerns. In fact there isn't much of any gossip to speak of, unlike the occasional scandals we joke about just a couple of years back.

Why does hall life have to turn out this way? All memories I had of hall was good if not superb, until a few months back after I returned from IA. How is it possible that things can change so drastically in such a short span of time? The fun and bonding we took so naturally as part of hall living, disappeared just with a snap of the fingers. Of course some still remains, but it's never like it was before. Sitting at the amphi with a good friend, talking about dreams and aspirations, troubles and buried grudges. Taking a nice easy jog around school, chatting on just about anything we thought of. MSN-ing each other about the latest gossips in between discussing tutorials and projects. Late night suppers that end up with having to walk back to hall 'cause we missed the last bus. Sigh.

Hopefully these memories remain deep in all of us despite the many changes, so one day we may think of each other and say "I should try contacting my hallmates for a gathering, it should be fun. Just like the old days."
