drop a crochet note

is currently an undergraduate student, and coping with her overwhelming commitments. I like long walks in solitude, cosy chats, usually sleep like a log, and beg your patience in tolerating my versatile humour

My ideal Romeo.
My ideal Romeo: someone I always envisioned and reasonably so, to magically frequent a place I'd always be at. Logically , this would be a library (cold and dusty and therefore where I'm most vulnerable: allergies gah) preferably near Fiction (I'm only pseudo-intellectual). He would gallantly appear from the long aisles of bookshelves, perhaps in that long beacon of light that would illuminate his lanky silohuette.

He would pass me a book which I'd be looking for.
Or, wait no.
He would, pass me something that I had misplaced (more probable)

We would swoon over the great authors, he would reveal a secret fancy for Blyton - we would argue (undeniable Indian side) over ideals, but come to the realization that they can never be actualized. Practicality is good, one wouldn't want a Dreamy Poet type - judging by history those never lasted long.

Of course, he'd have his (little)ego and be sexily indifferent: nonchalance if pulled off well, can be rather attractive.
He'd look good in a crisp white shirt rolled lazily at the elbows while shuffling about.
He'd pretend he couldn't give a damn, but deep down we all know and outwardly choose not to acknowledge quite the reverse is true. (How absurdly Asian)

He won't smoke.

He'd be the directive oar in a boat on unchartered turbulent waters.

We'd spend all day a few hours ( for we both have obligations) under the sun, in the pouring rain, blowing bubbles, carousels that bob up and down, twinkling lights, slivers of kites that fly free in a clear blue sky.

He'd teach me, I'd learn.

My ideal Romeo
He does not exist.
We all learn the truth someday and the truth is that,
even if soulmates exists, doesn't mean you'd ever find them.
Tragic.

Heyho, so the big hooha over National Day is over and so are the holidays aren't we glad. Don't get me wrong, I really love Singapore and this year's song rocks (Corrinne May bias) but I recongnize propaganda when I see it.
First week of school and already headlong into dramatic encounters 101, that really leaves me regretting the enormous Internet time I spend idling and messing things up when I could be saving my sorry CAP.
Alot of things have been happening that's made me damn upset and hurt going both ways. And it really hurts when it comes from someone you know, even when you meant it with the best of intentions.
The problem is that everybody tends to view me as a sweet and docile creature when my ugly doppelganger is just waiting to be unleashed unto some poor unfortunate soul. The truth is, I actually can be mean and incisive when I'm not being politically correct and I really wish people would appreciate my genuine honesty instead of being excessively judgmental. Often hypocritically so.
I have an attitude problem just like everyone else so wake up people.
If I don't talk to you, deal with it. If I'm moody, I'm having my moment.
If I'm busy, I'm really busy and you don't need imba analytical inferring skills to understand what that means.
Feeling a little irritated because too many moments this week when intentions and outcomes vary, which has left me reflecting whether it was right of me to garner my first impression in the first place.
Oh my tian I am becoming very... naggy and teacher-like I swear my tutoring side has taken over.

Anyway. First week of school, and had draining lectures, boring lectures, interesting lectures. Plenty of drama getting my novels and my constant whining has even led to sponsorship by.. MOM <3 Yes. I pay for my own damn novels and I feel the damn pinch, and sometimes I really wish I could splurge my parents' money on first hand books without a second thought but that's me being all stoic and self-righteous.
It's familiar and warm to meet the usual suspects along the walkway, I saw many people today while I was shuttling between Science and Arts, made 3 transactions and bought 3 books and borrowed 2. I kind of miss Romeo/Reggae and seeing them attending PL/EC lectures make me a little left out, for I am a lonely EN major and my major comes with a great heap of self-tragedy.

I am also learning to make new friends, something very difficult for I am by nature a creature of habit. People like to assume I am hypersocial but acquaintences and friends vary, it's same same but different de.
At the same time, I fear the old friendships may be tested by the out of sight out of
mind theory.

Major change lies ahead, if only I would just grow a backbone and assert myself for once and with Sash's words of advice but a faint echo,
I push on.

Amen.

Heylo averybahdee, Barberella here (does hand clenching wave)
Oh what good fun is the holidays - probably one of my most memorable, and also one of the more expensive seeing as how money was spent like water.
Life's been good really - I couldn't complain at all, apart from the occasional backache that comes from a slouchy posture. On Thursday I caught Inception with Joel and we must have mis estimated the advert time because the movie was screening even though we walked in only 5 minutes after! Well it's not like we missed much I guess. There is currently alot of hype about it and I couldn't agree that it's a brilliant movie (Nolan having directed Memento and The Dark Knight): the concept of dream weaving is quite hard to visualize, and it's great that it was explored rather successfully through his dream within a dream within a dream idea. Although of course I always assume that Nolan being Nolan the ending is always unresolved, but Nikki and Fishy proved me wrong.
Friday, was some girl time shopping with Nikky darling whom I never saw in 2 month ish! We had atas soup haha, and people-watching along the familiar stretch of mall we know (and that I always end up at for outings). Bought something! Really happy about it because it was on sale (GSS, Thy name is Women) and I personally think it's worth the investment because I always wanted something in that colour. And we went to the arcade! That brought back some memories I guess. And the funny thing was that my engine stalled -__-' because we decided to be adventurous and switch to manual. Also went to Toys R Us to buy Bakugan for the kid (I found out on Monday that I bought the wrong one but he seems happy with it nonetheless). After which I caught CSS people for their dinner before their movie at night!
Oh, on Friday I also baked pizza from scratch! :D Onions, tomatoes, pineapple cubes, mushrooms with a pasta sauce base and mozz cheese on top! At the expense of my CORS bidding (my priorities are screwed up) somemore but thank goodness I got that module for 1 point.
Weekend had GREAT FOOD: Saturday was Scissors Cut Rice and Sunday was Biriyani (though we took ages to find the outlet in Avenue 10 which is as big as Texas)
This week I intended to bum around at home (I'm becoming used to this) BUT sometimes even an unplanned week can turn into a hectic one. Last night CSS went to Little India HAHA and it was really funny because we ate authentic Indian food at Madras Woodlands and walked around Mustafa!
I am personally quite daunted by the 20 novels that await me this semester, and my fellow EN friends are scaring the dickens out of me by saying they completed this novel and that. (Sometimes my work ethic is......dismal)
Right now I'm doing what any normal NUS student is doing: refreshing the page every 5 minutes and getting mini heart attacks because if I don't get what I want I don't really have a plan B. This morning I opened the gate and little Twitch was snoozing in the shoe cabinet! He saw me and stretched his paws and came out and mewed. Haha. (:
Half excited and half sian of starting school, I know it's gonna be same old same old except much much harder - 3 level 3000 modules I kid you not, I'm gonna be A FULL TIME NERD (say must do). Also getting bankrupt from all the books which I have to get ):

Exciting weekend awaits - gonna meet my class girls and girlfriend~~~ This is the evidently the calm before the storm.

God bless our souls.

xoxo
