all i want for Christmas is...

my second TOENAIL on my left foot :( gross details aside, i had to cut all of it away after the blood clots beneath were removed. well hopefully i wont have to wait till Christmas for it to grow back! anyway, didn't feel exactly good about the games last night. did stupid things, said stupid things... urgh basically nothing went right. too bad we can never take back our words or actions.

low morale alert.

so dumb

left my wallet AND handphone inside the toilet next to LT27 today =/ rushed back to look for them barely minutes later and they were GONE omg i was panicking like crazy! wanted to make an announcement to the whole lecture group to ask for help when regina came in (late, as usual!) and told me that THANKFULLY some girl picked them up and called her to tell her my stuff are at science secretariat. AHHHHHH! she saved my life lol. when i went to collect them after lect, 20 pairs of eyes were staring at me in bewilderment as i swung the door wide open haha there was a minute of awkward silence before some guy asked if i was sylvia. reggie said they were probably thinking this must be the sooku absent-minded girl (x that was FREAKY.

reggie and her man very nicely gave me a lift to hollandv where i met up with dear old lindis, just in the nick of time (: apparently the kind soul who picked up my things called lindis too to find out where i was. anyway, just discovered essential brew is a reeeally cozy place to hang out at! you can sit on the comfy cushions with your legs up like a chorlor kia and no one gives a damn :D perfect for people like lee xinyi i think hahaha.

oh yes! according to steph, there's a channelU show called campus yummy hunt (obviously in search of great campus food) that's coming up and nussu is looking for student JUDGES. I'M SO GONA SIGN UP! just for the food :D

"If someone keeps bumping into people, or falling down, or dropping things, you'd say that person is ...?"
"SYLVIA!"

kais you're such an idiot what can i do without you (x

her answer did make some sense though. at one point i was laughing so hard that i swung my head backwards straight into the tummy of some unsuspecting waiter! omg according to kais, he said a this-girl-needs-some-help expression on his face AAHHHHHHH. i'm SO gona stay away from mind's cafe at dhoby ghaut for... some time haha.

OMGSOCUTE

"whatever!"

hmmm.

"Let each of you look for not for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." Phil 2:4
well, chanced upon this verse the other day. in this dog-eat-dog world, don't we always forget the importance of simple things like that? suddenly, i miss my kindergarten pupils. and i think i know why. somehow kids always make you feel you're needed. and wanted. human's inherent desire, that's what people call it rite?

things are beginning to fall into place.

appalled

heard from wenyen and jacq today that 2 of their friends quit the floorball team. i can't believe this. apparently one of them even gave the excuse that she thinks it's not meant for her, or smth like that. what utter rubbish. if i had managed to secure a spot after 3 long weeks of selections, i'd be 100% sure im MEANT to get in. especially if i had proven that i have immense potential after so many rounds. especially if i had deprived so many others of the opportunity to play for the school. must we always take things for granted?

something stirred inside me.

sweet to the soul

my favourite part of the Oscars early this yr. well, 2 reasons for posting this: jennifer hudson and beyonce :D was just telling pf today that somehow the american idol rejects are pretty successful these days - elliot yamin, chris daughtry and of cos hudson. guess you dont necessarily have to be the best singer to make it big. but they ARE good (: as for beyonce, AAHH i'd die to watch her perform live some day! she's HOT STUFF, and what a voice to match.

clearly youtube's my best friend now haha.

tee veeeee

america's next top model! tyra looks great. for the first time in a million episodes i think haha. i looove natasha! she seems like the kind of girl who makes you smile to yourself when you look at her haha. and i wonder how she keeps her spirits up during photo shoots despite being arrowed like mad back in the house. people like that never fail to amaze me.

keeping up

felt so good to get onto the netball courts again after a 2-week hiatus (: my team's back together once more and im so thankful for the bunch of girlies. i realised we're an AGGRESSIVE lot - melissa whacked someone's contact lenses out of her eyes, t-yunn slammed the ball right into some guy's face, and i knocked an opponent's specs off the first time, rammed the same girl down to the ground the second time round =/ unintentionally okaayy. but well, any sport that doesn't involve aggression isn't really a sport. the worst/stupidest injuries are those that are inflicted upon oneself unknowingly. i just happened to be randomly walking back to my position on the court when i somehow twisted my left ankle AGAIN. i lost count of the number of times this has happened since secondary school man. but i just kept going anyway, cos the pain's hardly felt when one's into a game.

hmm now it's starting to swell. damn.

ohh btw on the way home melissa said something like i seem "more like a Scorpio than an Aries", like huhhh i need to find out what that meant! we were too engrossed in emo songs by daughtry and avril lavigne (x they're not supposed to mean anything special but why can't i stop myself from feeling that way.

okay, time to ice that ankle now.

random

song of the day? Over You by Daughtry. no particular reason. chris is simply electrifying. finally got new earphones, and blasting my favourite music into my ears never felt better (:

singing ventriloquist

wow. i've never seen anyone throw his voice around like that.

breathing

I never thought I could fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

yea, mid-term tests were a big OUCH. so much for burning myself out. but then again, who says good effort always pays off?

anyway, instead of a usual saturday night out, i'm left alone at home now due to unforeseen circumstances, which later i realised isn't entirely a bad thing. it's been quite some time since i last got to bum around and FEEL lazy.

oh, randomness. just wana thank kais for being heading all the way down from smu at such a queer hour just to listen to me whine. and thanks to regina for calling after the test, yea i'm fine i WAS pissed i AM still pissed but well, im okay (: and shiduan i realised i didn't really answer your question the other day in the canteen about my blog posts but thanks for asking anyway, we all have our bad days (x

I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

"give up the ego, not the friendship." thanks, kais.

i dont know why but it hurts. so bad.

the other half

plenty of depressing moments the past week, hence the very random chunks of song lyrics, and the general reluctance to pen down my thoughts. just heard a song on the radio that has a line that goes something like when you walk away i count the steps that you take. can't remember what song that was, but well, there are always those days when sappy songs make you feel bitter and eventually demoralised because people around you behave in ways that baffle you and make you doubt if your presence around them ever made any impact or any sense. and they make you wonder if you're meant to be there all along. found myself drifting into such thoughts midway through prayers and then before i knew it, i'd be fast asleep. i've gotta do some serious soul-searching instead of indulging in such randomness. as for the fatigue, well it was inevitable. i doubt anyone else have 3 consecutive tests and a presentation in between to worry about so yea it took quite a toll on me. writing an essay through the night was especially torturous- i didn't know how on earth i managed to stay awake throughout the following day. anyway, thank goodness econs lect and tutorial got cancelled for today so i FINALLY got to stay home while everyone else was in school :D

oh yes, retail therapy with my meangirls really helped alot to keep me going (:

and of course, there's House. somewhat a daily incentive. funny, didn't know it was THAT addictive. hanyang's fault haha. almost died laughing today when an elderly female (syphilis-infected) patient said when i see a guy with a cuuuute butt i can't stop looking at him with this look on her face that was PRICELESS :D
