deprivation is good

camped overnight at yih to study ytd and i must say, deprivation IS good. To be deprived of the comforts of a soft nice bed, sweet smelling pillow, deedee, n the television. The trade off?? Accomplishing more. Yup more work was done den i actually planned for e night. Parents dont really like it tt i 'book in' to sch at 8pm to stay, but i've got no choice. I'm on a mission. I'm not gg back to sch to play, n tt's y i didnt even bring my deedee, coz i noe it'll probably be a source of distraction.

If there's 1 thing i'll miss e least about yih, it'll definitely be the air con. Air conditioning is gd, no one said it was bad, but step into yih n experience e freeze-ur-ass-off feeling, n u noe how deadly it can get. For the whole time there, i was wearing 3 layers of clothes. E db ladies polo tee, my crescent windbreaker, and the teamNUS jacket. That managed to keep me reasonably warm, if not for sitting on my hands e whole time. Just slog n mug, slog n mug..and in between as a form of relaxation i asked yunshan if i cld view all e photos in her laptop. Woohoo, now i noe y she was amazed tt i only had such a small collection of photos. Hers is juz folders aft folders of pics lah. Mine compared to hers is like hmm, bukit timah hill compared to Everest. Ok bad analogy. hahaha. =] Kz anyway, hmm, its juz semesters aft semesters of pictures. N yup, its so damn funny to see tt typical young n innocent looks when everyone was in 1st yr. Damn, i hope we make sure we get rid of all e 'si gina' pictures b4 we get laughed at in future. Karma man. But its super embarassing lah. Some moments i'd just start breaking out into suppressed gaffaws. Yup, may i emphasize on e word 'suppressed'. I had to, if not i'd get kicked out of yih for making excessive noise.

Some photos were really hillarious. Like there was diz photo where boon chin was balancing a lollipop with each eye, or..or..ok i better not say anymore. *zip* hahahaha. And she let me see diz slide show tt e OSA put up last yr for e dragonboat team but told me b4 hand, 'ladies team only featured a small part in e slide show, dont expect much'. Yup, its true, we arent as regarded compared to e guys team. We arent as recognised, but ahh well, life's like tt. Mainly featured last yr's june race, a lot on e PM cup, a short part was on e ladies team. And may i comment about the cheesy background music. It's really..so cheesy. -_-" But despite the short part of e slide show which featured e Ladies IVP race, it was so magically done up. Ok, well it was enuf to make me, 'WOAH!' aft watching. So moving. Close to tears but no, i didnt tear. It was more of like, awe-inspiring. woahh. Seriously, beyond words man. There were shots of e emotional side, e girls all breaking into hugs, n into tears upon their victory. Hey, looks like everyone has active tear ducts yah?

I attempted to sleep by 145 so tt i wont past my sleeping time at 2am but in e end, i past it and only managed to clock about 2 hrs of sleep, here n there. The part of my legs below e calves were so cold n cant be protected by any jacket wadsoever. In the end i decided to walk out to e study bench where cheez n meiping were studing n plonk there to rest. Just plonked, face down, stomach down. It's not gd to sleep like tt but ahh well. Normally i sleep sidewards actually. Tt was when i managed to sleep a lil b4 gg back to study.

Soon it was time for breakfast n we cld be considered e 1st customer today. Serene, meiping yunshan n i had breakfast at 715. Breakfast topic 2 times in a row--names. Last Tues we talked about it, and today we also dwelled into tt topic. Ah yes, wendy's gonna call her daughter meili, so tt she'll be known as 'meili de ma ma' in future. hahhahaah. We concluded tt the one of the worst things u can do as a parent is to intentionally/unintentionally give ur kid a funny name. Like xiao ming, when he becomes 87 yrs old, will he still be called xiao ming? or lao ming?? What if xiao ming is no longer small? How?? I'm glad i'm called xin di, though its juz a direct translation of my english name coz my parents didnt know chinese tt well. At least it goes well with shan liang, haha xin di shan liang. kind hearted, how true. Opps, sorry i abit high. We had e breakfast set and the eggs didnt really get us egg-cited (excited) at all. Some were too cooked, while some were not well cooked resulting in e runny yolk seeming like mucus when we poured it on e saucer. Eeew. Told ya ald, auntie's control of the huo3 hou4 is quite bad nowadays. Even some parts our toasted bread is chao tah. Some day when i retire, i'm gonna show e world what's it like to make GOOD toasted bread. N EXCELLENT hard-boil eggs. n THICK BLACK coffee tt perks up ur day. Btw, my retirement plan--to sell toasted bread, or sell gao luk[fried chestnuts] or sell tutu kuey.

I was asked over breakfast about my plans. So am i gonna stay or switch? My answer: depends on results. If its not so gd, i'll switch. Follow-up qn: What do u mean by not so gd? I stumbled upon tt qn. Will a grade below B-[for my maths module tt is] a gd gauge? I dunnoe, esp for my tt Adv Cal module. I cant see 3D stuff for nuts!! Geometric Objects in 3D spaces r my biggest stumbling block, and its not like anyone can help me. It's either u can see, or u cant see. I happen to be the one who cant see. And e beatitudes dont work here--Happy r those who cant see yet believe. Ok, i'm lame, again. I cant be happy not being able to see. If i cant see, i cant do e qn. I cant approach e qn. I need a miracle to happen. 3rd question[tt came aft i once again talked about e motivation of gg on a trip overseas aka tourism.] Qn went, 'Eh Cindy, why arent u in Arts ah? Like seriously?' My answer: Because sometimes we follow our head n not our heart. *someone interjects with a lame comment which will b ack-nored* ha! I guess i followed my head, n now i'm contemplating if i shd actually follow my heart. Ah well, hey folks, study. Now's not the time to think of anything else man!
