I have failed countless times to update this blog, and I have a feeling no one really reads anymore. However, since this was where I started writing it always feels most comforting to return to write short bit about my life here
I was browsing today this article where a number of individuals had submitted pictures or scans of their teenage diaries. I have hardly graduated out of teenhood myself; once a very interesting character told me that you don't truly stop being a teen until you've passed 25 years of age. Sometimes not even then. Yet I can't help but look at (the now hidden) entries that used to chronicle my life in secondary school and then in junior college. I was a very different person then, and yet, not so.
As I write this now, I am waiting for myself to fall asleep, for the memories in my head to die down so I may just tumble into a nice dreamless sleep.
Yet sleep evades me, as it naturally does when you need to wake mere hours later for the most important task of school. It feels so new all over again, because people just come and go and come back again.
But enough of my rambling, I should really try to at least close my eyes and lay down, and hope that eventually sleep will take me.
To all those people who left my life, I miss you. You know who you are

nonsense photos
presenting...

a funny photo from the new national library by 6 and a half A202-ians.
don't ask me why my face is like that, it just is. was because we were caught unawares.
stupid machine, it was because of the fact that to get you face into the frame you have to stand a certain distance from it, but to press on the button that actually takes that photo would require arms that are the a metre long.
thus the halfling there (justin) who was attempting to press the button with his less-than-a-metre-long arm outstretched while simultaneously trying to get his face into the picture.
and the reason we were caught unawares and why justin had no time to squeeze his face into the frame while pressing the button, thus succeeding in looking like a half-hobbit? bcos there is no time to. the machine doesn't kindly give a 3-2-1-saycheese countdown like some machines do before snapping the picture. its instant. thus the something-smells-funky-justin-is-it-you look on marilyn's face who was actually trying to look at what justin was doing and whether he'd make it. and also my weird looking face.
oh did i say? the note that we typed on the postcard was meant to be innocent but when i read through the message again i realised that we had succeeded in creating an R-rated postcard that would get any ah pek at home hot under the collar if he ignores the picture. 2 words: dis-gusting
AND we did ALL this only after the 6th try at it, which meant that we had spent a looong time hogging the machine.
BUT the gd thing was it was free *grins* and that we could send it as a postcard to wanwen's email who subsequesntly passed the retarded looking photo to me. courtesy of that machine thingie in NLB.
never have i had such a photo-taking experience.
