i'm such a procrastinator. if there's even that word. i got back from training today. stoned around and had lunch and didn't get to showering till like 4. and then i slept and woke up at 8++. had dinner and now i'm just sitting around online so i won't have to touch my revision stuff. i have to finish intro to organic today. i've been on it for ages and not progressing anywhere.
thursday afternoon i went to yihan's place. there have been 2 makeups this week and both times it so nearly ended up on the thursday. i was pretty frantic and oh-so-defiant about it. our intention was to get there and watch my Under the Tuscan Sun dvd. but then it won't play coz the code thing ain't matching. so she'll come over sometime in the march hols to just chill. yippee! but being me and all my backup plan things. since plans have a knack for conking out on me, so explains my penchant for backup plans. we went to KAP cold storage to grab some munchies then watched My Little Bride instead. the amount of food we put away is a wonder to behold. we shared a can of campbell's cream of mushroom, a whole honey glazed chicken, a small tub of ice cream. and i ate a salad on top of that. she walked me to the busstop a while after the movie ended and it was pouring. i got pretty paranoid about the lightning though i think there was none. it's a height thing. i'm permanently convinced that lightning will strike me.
friday was a mellow day. if that word can even be used to describe as such. the class started this harry potter hogwart's classification system. and we made up hybrid houses. so junjia and i are the only griffynclaws! don't hurl a tomato if the spelling's wrong. i've never read the book! but sadly the houses dont quite encompass the diverse personalities in our class.
i had this deja vu vibe during math lecture and started getting all reminescent. it started with candy and with my over-reactive imagination i ended processing a lot of thoughts in my brain. i mean certain things in comparatively recent history have all gone nebulous and trivial. but yet certain memories are so deeply entched that you can't quite kick them out. and those which burn the strongest are all the little things which you might have overlooked then and there only to realise that some intangible part of you retained it like some pregnant woman with water retention(that was so uncalled for). i won't exxagerate to the extent of saying that they felt just like yesterday, coz if so, where did all the in-betweens go? and certainly i feel much more haggard that when i started. but all the same, each time i recall them back, i'm looking back with wistfulness and maybe a different perspective. and once you start remembering, everything comes flooding back. and there are the things you try to forget except that, why would you want to?
back to my chronology of events. i had training. again. we did some corny actions, like kicking our feet perpendicular to the ground as we clap the cymbals and rolling like eggs on the floor. or the worst, this open-and-pose stupid stance thing. it does break the monotony of the sequence though and focuses your attention on the steps instead of how long a particular segment of the sequence is.
i left training early coz we had a family dinner. yum yum. the dinner was good. but very sinful. i had lamb cutlets and a really delicious warm chocolate cake which is prolly really high in saturated fat. the starters were good too. though i'd say oysters are best taken freahly shucked with no other weird dressing except lemon juice and tabasco. the fois gras was yummy, it just keeps getting better.
and today. got to school an hour before training was scheduled to start, intending to do work. but i ended up talking to peiwen. we haven't really talked since coming to HC so yeah. she was quite amazed that so many changes have taken place in my life. i'm still a little clueless there, i guess when the changes are happening, you don't really realise that they are taking place?
i yelled at jianan today. coz he was really late. this ain't no pot-calling-kettle-black. he's in the running for comp lion but he's so darned late and keeps us all waiting for him. and the cymbals can't practise if he ain't there. and it ain't our fault that we are unfamiliar with his sequence when he's barely around. and he was nodding off throughout the whole session. his reason for being late was breakfast. and we're like, we all ate while coming to school. i gues i really let him have it. a little sorry now.
and now for the icing on the cake. i have training from monday to thrusday next week for the whole morning. bugged them to start at 8 instead of nine just so we can end at 12 instead of 1. my block tests can just die.
some random thoughts:
every now and then i remember
every now and then i falter
every now and then i lapse into 'then'
every now and then i wonder
every now and then i regret
but every now and then when i look back
i can't imagine why i tried to forget
