The stars died so that you could be here today

Second week of school down only/already. I can't decide which. It seems like it's only the start of school yet there's so much to do already. At the same time I'm so tired and I already have a huge backlog to clear. I really need to stop going out and start sitting down to focus on work. So many things I want to write about, but I'm too lazy to upload photos and edit them. Maybe one day when I'm procrastinating work. Hey, that's what I do best isn't it. I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don't matter anymore. - Kurt Vonnegut. 

We hold on to things sometimes for the comfort of memories. Work is piling up so quickly I'm getting scared. Being scared makes me tired. Feeling tired makes me lazy. Lazy mich has decided that today's homework agenda is: Install C++ reference Install compiler devcpp well at least I got that done.  Time to do some reading. Not reading of lecture notes unfortunately, my brain is not wired up to read in advance / read to consolidate knowledge yet. Reading for leisure, reading to feed my soul. The Book Thief. To escape into another world.  Bye, see you folks.  Save my lazy soul. 

Life is funny isn't it. 2 months ago I was devastated that the last time I saw your face, my eyes were blurred from the tears. My heart couldn't bear to give your face another look. The face I could gaze at for the whole day. 2 months on, I see you, and my heart still misses a beat, and all the memories come flooding back. I wish I didn't see you. I wish, when I saw you, all I felt was disgust. But hey, life doesn't always work the way you want it to. So here is me doing what I think is best for myself. I'm sorry to everybody else.  The road ahead is long. There are countless people who love and care for you. Why waste your energy on one who doesn't.

First day of Year 3 in NUS. Time is flying past us. It felt like yesterday when I was a freshman, and now suddenly I'm in my second half of university life. I have to cherish this two years and finally gain some momentum in my last schooling days. Heartbreak has led me to realize that I've let myself feel bad, be distracted and bothered over undeserving things for too long. So, here's to a burden-less, hardworking, enriching semester ahead. I have to say though, that having the worst diarrhoea I've ever had wasn't a perfect start to the year. I had great apprehensions to the start of school again. Lectures and free time were always spent with Soo and Maddy. With us choosing our own electives this semester, and Maddy being the bitch still enjoying her US life, it was going to be a scarily lonely time in school, attending classes like the antisocial loner I am. Life still has to go on, and I am glad to say that the first day wasn't as bad as I thought it would b...

I'm so lost. I don't know. Some photos from my last week of July. I think. Or maybe it's not. I'm losing track of time. I can spend the whole day in Kinokuniya. Though I have this unspoken loyalty for Borders. Why? I don't know. @Bugis Junction White Chocolate pudding! I really do love it. Starbucks will for a long time remind me of the time they had their one-for-one Java Chip offer, and I was tip-toeing, trying to catch a glimpse of the barista at work. It's so interesting! Not to mention she was super nice and started chit-chatting with me :D For the hour long subway dinner in the dark, talking about anything and everything, enthralled by stories that were really in fact about mundane lives.  Strictly Pancakes is so so good. It's the only place where I don't eat like a glutton, because their portions are so filling and so sinfully rich that I can never finish one serving. @Prinsep St I've been craving Strictly Pan...

My current earworm. There's something harrowingly beautiful about the melody that the individual songs don't capture. The song has this longing quality, as if there's a distant dull ache within from it. I've been looping it so often I'm lapsing into this wistful mood permanently. It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her makeup and brushes her long long hair and then she asks me do I look alright and I say yes, you look wonderful tonight; The day the music died. Summer has come and passed, the innocent can never last. Wake me up when September ends, this will be the day that I die. Like my father has to come to pass, seven years has gone so fast, wake me up when September dies, this will be the day that I die. Every move I make, every single day, everytime I pray I'll be missing you. Wake me up when September ends, this will be the day that I die. And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight, with suspiscious m...

KBOX Lunch with Soo today! Lunch was horrible. The waitress told us to order from Menu A and gave us food from Menu B. I ended up with Carbonara instead of Bolognaise even though I don't fancy cream sauce. But Mich wasn't in a grumpy enough mood to scold the waitress, so compromise is the word.  ^^v Bad Hair Day, but it's ok. The retarded friends are the ones you should keep around. Sing sang sung for 3 hours. I used to not like karaoke-ing. So shy of my zao-xia voice. But recently I've adopted a more devil-may-care attitude. Don't like my singing? DEAL WITH IT. Else you can laugh at me and I'll just shove the mic up your nose. It brought back memories of the last K-session I had though. The good and the bad. The songs we sang that day and the songs whose lyrics creep into your heart and tear at the wounds there. Chinese lyricists have a knack for that. Chinese has a poetic quality to it that makes it beautiful and wondrously sad. 李聖傑-...
