Oh my GAWD~
It’s been MORE than a month since my departure from the blogosphere. Actually, then again, it’s not so much of a surprise for me or what because I’ve been stalling time, trying to see how long I could go without updating my webpage.
Ah well. Let’s see what has become of me in this one month. (Don’t get too excited people, my life is not as exciting as a drama, it’s dull, dull and DULLER.)
Swimming
This has to be the most meaningful thing I’ve ever done so far. Forget about my abysmal stamina, forget about my imperfect breaststrokes and forget how I nearly fell back into the pool when I’m trying to get out of it. Forget all these and there, you’ve got it, I WENT SWIMMING. For the first time in SEVEN years.
Is that a feat or what? SWIMMING, you know. CAROLINE -> SWIMMING.
What? When’s my next swimming session?
Let’s see. My schedule is kind of packed right now and…
Books
All right, Caroline reading shouldn’t be as jaw-dropping as Caroline swimming. I’ve gotten a lot of books when TIMES in Tampines 1 was having a store-wide discount of *gasps* 22%! And me, being the typical Singaporean, swept and paid for four books.
But the thing is, I haven’t touch on any of them yet. Mario Puzo’s Godfather (as in the book, not the human) is taking far too much of my time and I’ve just finished it yesterday. Like finally.
So now I’m going to start on Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper. And the books next on my list are:
-Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult
-Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult
-A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
I am not a Picoult fan. I am not a Picoult fan. I am not a Picoult fan.
Weird Dreams
My sleep is plagued by dreams of all genres. But the thing is, none of them makes much sense.
First, I dreamt that my mum got diagnosed with colon cancer. And you know how she disclosed it to us in the dream? She told us when we were on the rollercoaster in some place I’m damn sure I’ve never been to. It’s a nightmare, albeit a funny one.
And just yesterday, I dreamt about the graduation ceremony. Ever since I was told that I would be given prize money during the ceremony, I have been thinking about it and yesterday I finally dreamt about it. In the dream, the amount of money given to me wasn’t $1000. It was a whopping $105,050. I could only remember counting all the zeros during the entire ceremony. But in the end, all was a dream.
I’m just too cash-deprived.
BOF and Beethoven’s Virus
I’m slow. I’m still catching BOF after half of the homosapiens population has already finished the entire series. Let’s see, I’m only up to episode 6, because only the first part of the DVD is out. I reckon it’s the publisher’s gimmick to earn more money.
Okay, the Korean version is very grand, very grand indeed. And I still can’t over the fact that the XIMEN (So Yijeong in this case) in this version is so much much much much cuter than the portrayal by Ken Zhu *shudders*. Congratulations to the production team for the Korean Version. And no thanks to the Taiwan production team for successfully destroying the character of Ximen.
On to the Beethoven’s Virus.
This is a very classical show – classical in the music sense. It’s not bad actually and I kinda like the badass conductor. I like the way he go about scolding people. It’s a good show for reference if you want to learn how to scold people such that they can’t retaliate.
I haven’t manage to finish the series because *ahem* I’m a busy person. I will try to finish the remaining 8 episodes in another week or so. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Joseph
I just have to mention him. He’s fatter than ever now. His belly is all fat and pink. And he’s still a glutton.
I’ll let my description stay that way cos I don’t want to destroy his masculine image by going into further detail.
NTU
Yes, I’ve accepted NTU’s offer. I’m a little apprehensive about going into a new school environment. So in my remaining days before I get carted off to NTU, I’m going to spend as much time slacking as possible. That’s the current creed of my life.
Japanese Lessons
I graduated from my Elementary 1 class and I’m moving onto Elementary 2! But the thing is, Elementary 2 classes will only start on 19th July. So I’m pretty much a free person until then.
Don’t talk to me about driving lessons. I haven’t started it. And the thing is, I don’t intend to. But then there’s Mum so I guess at the end of the day I still have to 硬着头皮 and go ahead with the lessons. Haiz.
----
All right. That’s about it. I still have a lot more to say but my fingers are screaming for me to stop. They are tired from all the typing.
See you guys next time. I hope soon.
人生真的是一场永无止境的战斗！
