and i don't want the world to see me cause' i dont think that they'd understand

haha been blasting this song for coupla weeks already, goo goo dolls Iris, din understand wht the hype was but when played on my dad's stereo, it literally rocks d world.

had dim sum buffet with spencer and yibin on thu. really great company haha, 3 computer gaming freaks polished off 42plates of dimsum and still made it to nydc for floats and pizza! ouch my stomach was cryin d next day. but it was a fantastic singles day out. for the record, i play d least amongst them, yibin plays diablo2 til 230am n spencer gunbound til 445am!!! i'm usually concussed around 12+.

was feeling extremely tired from the amazing race on sat, sunburnt even, but it was great to catch up with yvonne again, chatted so much. she has a huge writeup on her blog n guess in some way i'm happy to be facilitating with someone i know haha.most of the comm/facilitators involved this year have all been trained one way or another under me and its an exalted sitback relax status i'm enjoying too though mustn't overstep my boundary. i'm supposed to act young!

got back my cem, was a little below expectation but guess overall its still the grade expected to get. guess miracles dont happen tht often *shrugs*. well was feelin a lil down but guess confidin some to s.c helped loads again. heh some guy i am, always runnin to her, but guess everyone needs an outlet. too bad she can't make it for ktv today, i leave then she can come, heh but guess i'm off to save the world again(volunteering). love her loads for keepin me sane, din expect we'd bond tht fast i guess.

ok off to meet angie mei for lunch, then in and out of camp the rest of the week.

a confused big fish out of water

the confused big fish i'm referring to is of course, myself. been ages since i last blogged, so much so d server has kicked out my files due to my lack of activity.

its been a great semester, made many new friends, close ones and countless hi-bye kinds. dearest s.c,olivia girl-girl and angie-mei, uncle joe, gay darlings yibin n spencer, people from orientation and at least a dozen other friends from the different modules as well as a coupla of seniors. i'm suddenly overwhelmed by all d attention i'm receiving. not to mention the friends in ntu who pop over to the nie canteen once in a while. then that takes up five mins of catching up and exchanging contacts.usually this happens with s.c lurking somewhere behind me so i really cant talk long without being "scolded". hehe can't keep her waiting can i?i get scolded enuff by her haha.

been having trouble holding onto my old friends as well though i try my best. wenjie never fails to cheer me up although we've never been the smsing/msn-ing nor talking on d phone kind. hehe. try to make it a point to meet at least once a month, we're both so busy. we just celebrated his birthday by watchin d incredibles and i cant remember d last time i had so much fun with anione at any movie.

brian and howard left singapore some time back and thank god i managed to squeeze in dinners n outings with them. though their thousands of miles apart its like things never change when they come back.really love these old pals.

y.c is finally getting some headway in his life and i'm much happier for him now. been tryin to make it up to him this past mth by meetin him more heh though all we do is lament n moan about past crushes. not that it aint fun, we've both had many years of that!! n he's workin at raffles place which is way more centralised than tampines.

volunteering activities is coming in at an all time high despite my best efforts to lay back. the respect i have from d younger volunteers is all d bait they need to offer to keep tempting me back. instead of helpin with 2 workshops i now have a week-long camp to hmm provide expertise n nag .although they havent stated they want me down for d whole thing i suspect it will be hard to get out off.its nice to feel wanted.

well with all that said and done, tht's my life in a nutshell. have a steady $$, practically a princely sum, activities keeping on my feet for d nxt 2 weeks yet why do i still feel lost? i attribute it to gelling all the things in my life together properly instead of rushing headlong everywhere. beginning to be antisocial at nite, i cant be bothered to phone/sms anione for d l8 nite chats i used to love.onli thing is msn cuz there's nothin good on the telly.

maybe, i shall try to follow s.c's advice at one of d lowest points i had this sem. dun think so much bah. sounds good.
