It's been cold lately, hasn't it?

It's been so cold that I've been waking up every morning not wanting to wake up. If you don't already know, my body runs a thermostat. For some reason, the heat from the morning sun is the best alarm clock there is! But thanks to the strange weather (the wettest February in years, in fact!), I fully awaken only 15 minutes after my alarm rings. -.- Which makes me tardier than I usually am. -SIGH-

I think lower temperatures increase my amount of laziness. Unfortunately, my room is quite unsightly at the moment, since my mum is still adamant about keeping my JC notes when I'd like very much to clear it all out. ....I should just sell some to the people at Bras Basah complex. Or throw them into those yellow recycling bags that appear at my doorstep on Thursdays. Actually, the latter is a better option since I'm not supposed to distribute notes from my school.

Oh well, being the procrastinator I am, I shall leave that for tomorrow~

You React Like a Cat

You are introverted and mysterious. People are curious about what makes you tick. You trust your intuition. So far it has a good track record of not leading you astray. You have an amazing amount of strength. You refuse to let stress bother you. You don't mind if the world doesn't understand you. No one is going to harsh your mellow!

Do You React Like a Cat or a Dog?

You Should Take Up Journaling

You are very private, but you aren't aloof. You just have a well developed inner world. You spend a lot of time thinking by yourself. It helps to get your thoughts down on paper. You are an idealistic soul. You have noble ideas about the world. You are a natural writer of all sorts. You are equally suited writing essays, journals, and fiction.

What Crafty Hobby Should You Take Up?

Nahhh I accepted 'aloof' as a character trait long ago. But I really used to keep journals! Now, I have my blog instead. :D The feel of pen to paper is different though.

You Are Wiley and Smart

You're the type of person who can get out of any jam. You always have your wits about you. Other people find you to be a little dangerous! They know what you're capable of. You are always planning and scheming. You can't help it - your mind never stops going. You tend to outfox everyone standing in your way. You don't like to play dirty, but you will if you have to.

The Baby Animal Test

Oh really. o.o I never knew! (Or am I just acting blur? >D)

You Are an Emotional Artist

You're the type of artist who creates because you are moved. It's like it's not even a choice. Your art is all about expressing yourself, and to be honest, you don't really care about what others think of it. You are in love with the things that you create. Every piece of art you've made has great meaning to you. You don't beat yourself up if your art isn't perfect. If you're happy with what it says, then that's all you could ask for.

What Type of Artist Are You?

Terrarium!

There's a caveman in there! O:

One of my assignments for the day is to build a (fake) terrarium for a photoshoot. o.o It looks pretty good from the front though the back is ugly. At the moment, I'm waiting for the 'ok' to dismantle the terrarium and pot the plants properly. ._. It's so cramped I doubt the plants can survive. As for the animals, they were never alive anyway.

The pantry table's really messy now. xD Look at the daiso bag of soil. And my half-empty cup of milo. D: (Oh my, soil?! In the pantry?!) But I'll have to go clean it up soon. :D

We should have let the polar bear loose in the tropical rainforest too. But we were worried it would pass out and die from dehydration and heatstroke.

Sad plants.

My co-worker suggests letting them live on this ledge by the pantry. I think they might be happy there, the pantry's quite warm. At any rate, the temperature is much higher than my seat.

Oh. The sad plants are blue (or red and green) because they're waiting for some soil to be put into their pot. Poor plants.

-SIGH- On days like this, I've to resign to the fact that I'm an idiot. -.- Just gave myself two hairline cuts. You'd never guess how that happened! (To save your brain from having to attempt any death-defying leaps from rectangular containers, let's just say I stuck my hand into a jar with a metal rim to wash it, and twisted a sponge in it.) No, I don't have a photo for that.

Yay my blog has a new look~ And extra things for bored people like you (yes you, Sarah!) to play with. :D Hmm, I should vary those widgets from time to time, shouldn't I?

Well, my wounds have dried and my neighbour/the photographer/Maple says I can cheer up the sad plants, so I shall go!

Oh f-

I can't sleep! Oops. ><

The fact that I'm half ill isn't helping hahahahaha. It's weird though, I don't recall hanging around anyone sick. Hmm. I guess it's really due to all that torrential rain HAHA. ...my sister says I just passed my (half-a-) cold to her. But usually when my family members catch my cold, the symptoms are x10 or something?! She was running a 39 degree fever. o_o

I, on the other hand, can't seem to recover completely or just fall sick already! =_= The halfway there feeling isn't helping ARGH. I feel thoroughly sick but I have no real symptoms. Perhaps the fatigue is a withdrawal symptom. O_O

But seriously, I've been a bit out of sorts since last night! .___. Had a migraine and the remnants of it the next morning. Speaking of which, I tripped because my foot got tangled in my bag when I got up to go to the toilet ahaha. Pffft my strange colleague asked me if I even remembered falling because I gave him a blank look. xD Could just be my regular clumsiness though.  HAHA but then I couldn't finish my porridge(?!) so I'm probably in a not-so-regular state.

YAYYY A REPLY. ^^ But oh no, an illegal reply. O: Haha I feel better now, but my sleepiness has yet to override the strange feeling~ D: I wonder if weekends are less busy by any chance. o.o

Eh damn I think I pissed a rather important woman off. o_____o Argh, I'll think about it when my brain is back.

...I think what I need now is a distraction. Correction, are distractions. I think I'll go flop around in the library tomorrow. Hopefully, I can burn time planning an itinerary to my mum. Oh. I should go sketch something haha~ That definitely gets rid off more than a few hours. xD You can pray the people in the library don't catch my cold-that-turns-into-fever oops. >< I shall aim to finish reading my gift over the next 14 days. ^^ (Hey wait a minute, that means it's actually more than 2 weeks! O: )

Come to think of it, I should return Venus her watch too! D: Otherwise some violent pokes might be my retribution. :p

Okay, it's 11.15 and I ought to go nurse my cold.

(Ohhh. Damn. It just occurred to me that I just lost my stalker. .-. )

 Oh hey! Vanilla Twilight! :D
 

'Kay. Enough sap. Sleep.

I am a goldfish.

No seriously. Part of the reason why I haven't posted recently is my inability to remember my password HAHAHA. Goodness me. o___o

I finally gave up and wrote it down! YAYYYY. According to my father, passwords are stupid and should be simple. He told me the other day that he wanted to invent a program that manages passwords! (But some app developer beat him to it.) I come from a strange family. :D

Ahhh I shouldn't be posting at this time but there's nothing better to do at work. I could finish my poem or read my book (I think it's the best birthday present ahaha~ :D But I feel bad making you spend money on me. ><) or draw something (no, not the game) but... oh well. Since someone requested some entertainment, I might as well post. (Or you can call the above paragraph an excuse.)

Although it didn't end that well, that was quite a nice way and a nice place to spend a day. Complete with warmth, a book, tea, a bed and red eggs. ^^ I thought about it and yep, can't ask for more~ -sigh-

But speaking of red eggs, I just discovered today that most people don't know about the red eggs and red yeast rice (I'm trusting google to translate here). It's a tradition in my family (on my mother's side) to eat the eggs and soup made from the rice with noodles on special occasions, including birthdays haha. :D Strangely enough, my mother doesn't like the taste of it while my sister and I do! o.o

I guess I shall end here for now! Still feel guilty slacking during office hours. o_o

Expectations, realisations.

Blah. I realise there is a saturation point to expressing your depression when it comes to grades. ._. Well, expectations are there to be unfulfilled, aren't they? I give up, I guess all I can do now is to do more practices. -sigh- At least Cheng Yong owes me a cup of tea? ._. But honestly, I'm not happy he didn't do better than me. What happened to bets being good motivation? ):

On a lighter note, my sister says to mention her 'pregnancy' pangs! D: Which is really just her being a glutton and demanding I pass her some kind of food every 5 minutes. =_= Her friend asked if her cravings were because she was pregnant, tsk tsk.

Here are some weird things to fill up empty space! (Since I don't feel like typing anymore, but don't want to shut down my computer yet.)

You Are a Limerick

It may seem simple to be so clever But writing you is quite an endeavor You are known to be a bit naughty But no one would consider you haughty And people will talk about you forever

What Type of Poem Are You?

Oh look, a lit blogthing.

You Are a Blizzard

You are both dangerous but beautiful. People both welcome you and fear you. You can cause a lot of trouble and even destruction. Some would argue that you're worth it though! You tend to overtake people and change everything. You aren't subtle, but you are sometimes hard to see through. There is a quiet and stillness that you sometimes bring. Some find you to be quite peaceful.

What Kind of Storm Are You?

You Are a Cirrus Cloud

You're a bit mysterious and reserved. You mostly keep to yourself and do your own thing. Some people may even consider you allusive. You're hard to track down at times. People who know you find you to be very transparent. It's always easy to tell what you're thinking about. You tend to drift more than most people. You're always trying out new ideas, friends, and even personalities.

What Kind of Cloud Are You?

Can this be considered a geog blogthing?

You Are a Water Charmer

You charm with a deep intuition. You seem to sense what each person wants and longs for. You come across as coy and mysterious. Without trying to be, you are a very intriguing person. You are emotionally in tune with everyone you meet. You rarely read people wrong. You want to make the world a better place. You can be quite passionate about your ideals.

What Kind of Charmer Are You?

You Should Be An Aquarius

What's good about you: philosophical and idealistic, you are a great thinker What's bad about you: you require a lot of space - it's hard to get close to you In love: you're quirky and playful, but you hate to be smothered In friendship, you're: likely to have many acquaintances and very few good friends Your ideal job: pilot, snow boarder, or science fiction writer Your sense of fashion: unconventional, unique outfits that turn heads You like to pig out on: anything with garlic or unique spices

What Sign Should You Be?

Ahaha I am an Aquarius! -.- I guess I was born the right sign?

Your Home is Lively

Whether you live by yourself or with many other people, your home is always buzzing with activity. You are likely to have water boiling for tea or a fire burning in the fireplace. You live in every area of your home, and you really savor your time there. You could never feel at home in an empty or quiet house. A home should be enjoyed to the fullest.

The Homebody Test

Ehh my house is too quiet/empty. ._. But this is quite true I guess.

You Are a Cat

You are agile and mysterious. You have you own way of navigating the world. You enjoy exploring new ideas and places, but you also like to be able to retreat quickly. You are a bit standoffish and aloof, but you aren't shy. In fact, you are brave and courageous. Always resourceful and fearless, you can handle any situation. You are a survivor.

What Origami Animal Are You?

The cat is cute~ :D Shall learn to fold!

You Are the Alarm Clock

You don't have much of an opinion on mornings. No matter whether you like them or hate them, you have to get up. Your mornings tend to be a bit of a rushed affair. You have to be out the door by a certain time, and you have to hustle. You are not a big fan of wasting time, and the morning is no exception. You have a lot to get done, and it's time to get cracking. It's fair to say that you're on autopilot during the wee hours of the day. You have mornings down to a science.

What Part of the Morning Are You?

You Should Stay Warm by Cuddling

You are a caring, kind person who really gets happiness from being around others. And a cold night is the perfect excuse to cuddle up with the person (or creature) you love the most. You are nurturing and compassionate. You always make sure that everyone is warm on a cold night. You love the calm and quiet that comes in the middle of winter. You feel at peace when everyone else is at peace.

How Should You Stay Warm?

Seriously? ._. But it's weird!

You Want to Talk to Someone Playful

You love people who are ready to flirt, play, and exchange witticisms. You like a good conversational sparring partner. You're a very clear thinker. Your ideas are rarely half-baked and almost always make sense. You are a bit of a gossip, but only in a lighthearted way. You love to talk about people you know. You are quite attractive, and you know it. You can tell when you've caught someone's eye.

Who Would You Talk To?

Yay~ Such people are fun to talk to. xD (Lol I don't think the last lines are true though. -.-)

You Are the Philosopher

You are good at drawing out truths in conversation, however painful they may be. You understand both the meaningfulness and meaninglessness of life. You don't have any illusions. You always think before you talk. You consider your words carefully. Although you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you. You have a natural magnetism.

What's Your Personality Archetype?

Haha okay, that's enough. Shall get back to more productive things. xD

The unexpected difference in post-ages.

Yay~ :D Lousy puns which no one understands in my titles.

Damn, I've not seriously studied for the past week and 2 days. Now I'm slightly worried but as some people I know would say, 爽感~! xD

Seems I don't take to stress overload well. Seems the more stressed I am, the more I withdraw, which makes me more depressed and repressed. Internal rhyming aside, it's a vicious cycle. So, that week and a half was good. (Well, at least it felt pretty good?)

There was no partying (which is really no fun anyway), but it's good to know you have time to waste reading books, baking mooncakes, cooking lunch and screwing up the huisuo and kitchen by turning it into a library and an (oily?) winter wonderland. Ahaha I sound delusional again. o_o Pictures shall appear some other time, perhaps.

...I think I have a phobia of microphones. =_= Pointing one at me is like flipping a switch off. But then again, I have a general fear and dislike for anything that requires me to communicate with an audience (1, 2 or 20, it doesn't matter.) Don't worry, it was still fun.

Oh. Yes, my friend, perspective of height is relative. I never said it wasn't. In fact, scientifically it's called a parallax error, no? But that guy might still be taller, except the extent of the disparity is different between you and I. By the way, I don't see how this blog is worthy of a stalker. ...and I might have guessed eventually using that comment.

I wonder how much more I should censor what I type, but I'm too lazy to bother. Hmm. ._.

Anyway, the post-prelim timetable is...complicated. (Or 眼花缭乱 or whoa, 五彩缤纷 if you prefer!) I'm not even sure how I'm gonna continue planning; currently stuck after 2 weeks. Ahh I think I should be consulting my subject tutors. ._. Hold on, how does one book consultation slots?

Tsk tsk, I shall go in search of the answer to that tomorrow then. For now, sleep sounds like a preferable endeavor.

(Well, well, typing isn't good for a coherent train of thought! D: Encourages 'excessive insertions and deletions' HMM.)

Prelimsss.

Are looming in the background. Oh dear.

Ahaha I've failed to read through Women in Love (which is about men and women in hate, rather.) once more before Tuesday! ...actually I should read through Tess too. Aw, heck.

GP appears to be in shambles too since my teacher specifically requested to see me before the paper. Well, it was just an experiment in style! I'm not planning on writing an example driven essay for the exam! Not my style. D:

Aiyaaa I've been really restless recently! Studying for hours on end is not the most entertaining way to spend your time. Therefore, I tried to play basketball with Cheng Yong, Wai Yan and Ben Goh. .___. (And amused Venus, Sarah and Songhao in the process.) It wasn't to much avail though, I'm still the paradigm of inaccuracy. D: But it's still fun to run around though! Never got the chance during primary and secondary school heh. The people we played against were interesting too, what with this guy who looks 1.8m tall saying he can't jump and catch rebounds, and having doubts about being able to defend against a 1.57m girl who has no experience in playing. -_-

Oh hey, I learnt that basketballs fit perfectly into netball hoops! But only perfectly. They don't go in if you don't have pin-point accuracy. o_o

I haven't typed a post in so long I seem to be rambling less than I usually do.

Hmm. My mum borrowed a cool book about tea! Here's a quote:

'On the eighth day, God created sweet tea.
Some things in life must be enjoyed
looking at the clouds and waiting for the rain.' - Carvin Melon

'There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment
in a chest of tea.' - Ralph Waldo Emerson (I think this one is quite famous.)

... meh. fun. is an interesting band.

Some Nights! I only just discovered what I think are allusions to war. o_o

Ho-hum, shall get back to work. ):
