warning: this might be yet another emo post. i noe its been extreme-emo recently but darn its not tt i want it or that i love being emo. i dont, ok. its just, this phase tt im like this. just bear with me for a while..

at the rate im going, im gonna be taken over by impulsiveness one day.

"in every strong person, there's a vulnerable side that needs someone's care too"
so cliched. yet it makes me wonder, if anyone will even get to see that side of me, like if i crack up one day or sth.. well thats if im counted to be "strong" in the first place. but its just a random thought.

u noe, sometimes i reli wonder if im more of the introvert than the extravert i claim myslf to be. maybe i dun see why ppl will be interested to noe the things i might wanna share. or maybe i nv reli had the chance to do so, like we're not in the "right mood" or maybe.. maybe der wasnt reli a time where i reli felt like i needed to say that lest i spoil the happy spirits everyone's been working so hard to keep up..

[i haf NO IDEA why im "wonder"-ing so much just 11hrs before my big paper tmr so just let me quickly "wonder" finish and i'll get back to my final revision. arghh the impulsiveness..]

went swimming with ahwen at home team ns this morning. she's a huge contributor to my physical well-being mann :] (although not so much for my skin cos i get tanned SO easily. rahhh. stupid tannlines. its just 1hr u noe!!!)

havent swam for 3413960372years and i almost forgot how much i enjoyed being in the pool. well obvly i cant swim as well as last time (DUH its been 3413960372years!) but it was still gd to feel tt at least im exercising and a tad healthier. tt makes me happy :)

rushed home and then to lib after tt to meet goldie for lunch. so sorry goldie made u study ALONE de whole morning!!!! :((( had lunch at jec after ahwen arrived and chionged back to study after tt. still managed to finish prac my stats but, i duno why der's still this part of me tickling and making me feel lke im not prepared. :( am i thinking too much??? ahhhh i dun like this at all... this is so much like how i felt 2days before comms test. totally just wanna bo chap it so just anyhow read thru... just that this time i spent a BIT more effort on practising the stats but still.... i just sudd dun feel lke caring anymore =/

this is so bad. i nid to revert back to 100%concentration!! but im just getting sianer and sianer as the day goes by.. "emo"-ing abt how my psy is so hopeless and how im gonna screw de exams up and all the stupid shits tt're occupying my mind.. i dun even noe why im feeling so sian recently. cant seem to pinpoint the reason. which makes it worse cos it means i cant do anything to counter it. BAHHH!!!

tmr's a big day for me, and a big day for my mom. she told me not to be worried but how de HELL do u expect me to do tt. i told her i wanna stay with her everyday but she told me to just go lib study and dun go der cos der'll be a lot of germs and she doesnt want me to fall sick esp during exam period. well true its logical but WHERE got ppl lidat shoo the daughter off one!! im gonna be VERY stubborn this time (not tt i havent always been) and stick with her. yeah yeah nurses all around but SO????? they're not ur daughter!!!

:((((( everything must happen at the same time huh...

i really pray hard for my mom. nothing will go wrong, right? :(

OKAY im NOT supposed to worry dammit.

the only things probably classified under entertainment and which are available to me now are magazines but I DONT WANT TO READ!! read anything more and my eyes are gonna pop out.

RAH I REALLY NEED SOME ENTERTAINMENT RIGHT NOW!!!!! im suffocating from too much psychology and a too-low oxygen content within the 4 walls i call home. someone help me breathe.

my attempt to continue on social psy when i return from my day's battle-with-the-books has failed HORRIBLY. brain feels vry fused again and i feel sleepy once i sit down at my desk. RAHHH the evils of studying..

listening to that song by 梦飞船 again. nv fails to relax my mood after a whole day of mugging (though the lyrics are a little sad but still.. :])

WHY is tt microsoft word gotta be so un-standardised and tt de document appears differently in everyone's comp??? its so freaking hard to even cfm wad we haf in our report (like page number) and wad we do not haf. sucks tt just when u think everything's cfm-ed and done and de sense of relief sets in a little, then it gets upset again cos ur grpmate tells u der's sth wrong with this little part here. ARGHHHH hp200 just go and die lah ok!!! ringo said this might be the last stats course we're taking. well, it IS the last stats course im taking >>=( FOR SURE.

shld've taken down her expression. vry lols. hahahaha

much as i was skeptical abt it, it did start a train of thoughts of wad we can do with the money. $10,000!!! and that was it. at tt moment the stupid ad promoting the sms "get" to duno wad number and u can get duno wad duno wad at discounted rates or sth. then they showed my alr-very-tempted-to-get-but-still-pondering psp slim!!!!!!! this totally added 10,000 points to that item on my wanted list and DAMN i reli feel lke getting it!!!!! x( santa are u working tmr????

(hw111: illustrator) lols!! why do i haf sucha cute mom~~ hahaha well yeah tts de one anw. and she seemed reli ok with me getting it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..if we haf de money :)

Tuesday, April 08, 2008 ♥ 8:40 PM

11:37 AM

excerpt from RD's 10 ways to turn that frown upside down. (very, very, positive psychology)

1. be less virtual, more 3-D
... if u sit at a computer all day, get up and indulge in some human contact instead.

2. 4, 6, 8 .. who do we appreciate?
making a list of things u're grateful for may seem silly, but its been proven to work. in fact, counting ur blessings may be the single most helpful thing u can do for ur happiness.

3. rack 'em up
think of every positive experience during the day as a bead on a string, and see how they add up. this simple exercise makes u focus on even the smallest positive moments, like a driver waving u to go first at a junction, or an email from a fren in a spam-filled inbox.

4. think memorable, not material
if u have to choose btwn, say, a new car and a family vacation, pack ur bags. even the sexiest sports car becomes routine over time. but the memory of a good time with frens and loved ones will last forever.

5. go to the funny side
"humour is like salt on meat. it amplifies everything." watch reruns of classic shows that nv fail to make u laugh. try to smile at the absurdities of life, and laugh out loud.

6. escape to ur stess-free zone
think of a place where u always feel calm and happy. then whn u're tense and miserable, call it up mentally, with as much detail as posible. smell the suntan lotion. feel the sun. hear the sea. play this video in ur mind when ur spirits slump.

7. see the glass as half full
whenever possible, try to look at the bright side. u might be feeling lke ur life right now is one giant downhill slope. but if u stop and assess it honestly, u'll see u actually have it pretty good. and if things truly are against u, see no. 8.

**8. find ur inner artist
think back to when u had time for creative expression. were u in a rock band? did u write poetry? did u love tinkering with cars? rmbr feeling so engaged that u lost track of time? why not pick up tt Fender (or fender) again? joyful expression can bring happiness. (--> the reason why i lurrrvee music xD)

9. do sth good
acts of kindness, however small, deliver as much pleasure to the giver as to the getter. ... so is giving time, money, or both to a good cause.

10. seize the moment
rather than waiting to celebrate a big event, why not do it today? bake a cake. take someone out to lunch. buy pink nail polish. open tt bottle of wine and raise a toast to a gd day. go ahead, be happier.

"most of us assume that external things -a bigger hse, a better job, a winning lottery ticket- will brighten our lives. while they do bring temporary delight, the thrill invariably fades. happiness is like weight loss. we all know how to take off the pounds; the trick is maintaining it."

:)

de-stress, people!!

******
was switching thru tv channels while having dinner ytd and stopped at this show called are you smarter than a 5th grader?. interesting show! haha its sth lke who wants to be a millionaire where u move up the "monetary ladder" by correctly answering qns etc. well anw maybe its just me but i've always tot their 1st-5th grade is lke sg's pri1-5 but apparently, age-wise yes, standard-wise, no. one grade4 qn was "which subatomic particle exists outside the nucleus of an atom? proton, electron, or neutron?" =S our pri4 kids arent learning this yet rite??? or are they =x i cant even rmbr when i learned this..

well anw de person who got this qn chose to drop out cos she din noe wads proton electron and neutron. ohwells der goes USD$100,000.. (she STILL managed to walk away with $50,000 which i think is hell gd enuff)

and der was this grade4 music qn. i tot it'll be some lke which is the alto clef or some shit loh! in de end it was "wad is de first name of German composer, Beethoven?" .... -.-"" okay...

well anw its Ludwig Van Beethoven. ok at least i know one more thing now.

still, its quite a fun show to watch. they shld implement such shows in sg too so we can win easy money :D (winning $1000 to ans a pri1 qn also gd mah hor.. :P)

:'(((

i dun wanna study anymore!! reli tired of everything... of rushing btwn sch and home just to get projs done and fret over whether we're even doing the right thing, of listening to lecturers rushing thru their last few lectures, of listening to content i doubt i'd truly understand... of rushing btwn sch and tuition and having parents who love to extend tuition last minute as if de only thing im doing on earth is teaching their kid, of having to put up with the kid's nonsense and short attention span... of the inability to continue my revision becos of the freaking projs, of having to memo my script for my ppt, of revising enuff for my 2 quizzes next wk, of writing my report for 202.. of the prospect of having to cope with my mom's hospitalisation in the middle of exams... of having to think abt wad other song we can perform on gig day... of everything thats happening right now and which isnt helping to relieve all that pent up emotion.

i hate it. i reli do.

i wanna cry so much but why is my mom still awake..

i hate sch :'(
