About to pull my first all-nighter in two months, but it's for a worthy cause at least. Plus, I have only P..rocrastination to blame *sticks out tongue*. Actions within asterisks are unfashionable. I haven't listened to music without earphones in a while, so it's all cool. Tomorrow I shall not cave in and cancel mambo, hahha shoo you will see me there I swear, and run on pure adrenaline I shall if I must, stumble into the office and get caught napping on Thursday I shall if I must, after all we only live once.evelyn at 9:47 AM

Not the best of days. Here's to self-motivation.
Various people have heard this! if i can't be the most efficient, i'll be the most resourceful. if i can't be the smartest, i'll be the most teachable and if i am doomed to fail, i will be the most optimistic, because there will be suckers willing to pay to learn exactly how.evelyn at 9:34 PM

last night was funnnnnnn. it must be official now that "[we] girls are oversensitive" - i reread my own letter and honestly, what could ANYONE have replied to it besides.. besides.. ?????? ok i speak only for myself.***
best news in the world: i think i'm moving again, further northeasty, yeahh, plans will firm up soon enough. cya'll CNY! life's so good that i hope wherever you are, you're doing fine too. happy birthday in a bit. perhaps you've had your stroke of luck as well, we're both geminis after all.
***
the mystery is no more. i know now why i blog about the Beatles so much. it's not like i'm trying to come across as some hardcore fan, even if they ARE very cool. i try not to be so public about obsessive tendencies haha. i don't know any trivia and my collection of their stuff is quite, quite incomplete. Let's see.. i haven't even heard Savoy Truffle! (the lyrics are hilarious though, see LAYOUT, which my current Beatoxicated state dictates i keep.) PLUS i haven't learned to tell john's and paul's voices apart (esp when their numbers like Twist and Shout - is it me or does the group sound cloned?!?!!)
yeah the deal is: hahaha most of the time when i'm in the mood for them (not all that often) i'm in the mood to write about that mood. stupid, i know..
today, they're just groooooooooooovin'. so i present My List.
Martha My Dear - the opening is very, very cute.
Eleanor Rigby - like all the string bits, can't decide which one most. probably the low rumbly ascending scale motif, probably. i may change my mind. like the jagged one too (donno how to describe properly)
Octopuses' Garden - wrote about this already, haha
Golden Slumbers - mentioned this too
Norwegian Wood - hmm. it was my first favourite but not currently. don't know which i like best right now right nowww!
Fool on the Hill - how can one not have a soft spot for the pathetic
haha there are a few more i can't recall offhand. such a sucker for those accompanying bits am i but they are why this group (tempted to say just Lennon, but i'll play fair, plus i really donno) is genius, and you are not.
..uhm. and why Baby You Can Drive My Car? not too sure about this one, hahahah. maybe cos people laugh whenever it escapes from me. : )

i've had it with the dusty pink! BSS during GSS (blogskin shop)close to concluding a short stint of research and i can't say i'm not relieved. met a friend (notice how after a while out of school it gets plain weird to label people according to seniority? in this case i met a junior (and boy i sure felt it (not digressing!)) whose first few words were "woa you look stressed!". Euphemism for BDCL if you ask me! (quick ask what that is) sigh. i just knnnnow i'll turn into one of those birthday-hating women, and this coming when i'm barely adult hahah.
heck. IN YOUR FACE, NEUROSIS!
back to what i was saying, woah i'm glad it's (almost) over cos now i have time to
1. sleep in
2. actually flip through stuff i busted our library quota borrowing. our central library houses cool tomes and now i'm quite sorry to leave nus.
3. read up about south indian music and try to resist bhangra-inspired temptations at WCG at the dingdingding parts.
4. feel smug about my research reports. it was fun! the two projects were different as night and day, even though loosely speaking both were about religion. the first was bloody exciting cos i was on a tighter deadline and some things felt pretty obscure; all i did was click and click and follow links for many hours.
ok caught at work haha byeeeeee.

just a little
been a little busy/relatively stress-free/hanging out etc. life reduced into a sentence! shopping's such a lose-lose activity but the cashier's ka-chingching!! is !!!. speaking of buying thrill, nothing beats the bang you get out of six bucks renting a racer! need to hit the park on weekdays to hone dem skillz - or, invest in a whistle (the rented bikes haven't bells, haha)and i think i finally get the beach bum thing. will never laugh at budding surfers at east coast park again, not when i was the loser waiting for waves to smash me flat back into the sand (without makeshift board even)
plus, i ought to just reply my own mail straightaway, but let it be said here that i'm glad for real letters and real friendships and real places. i think coming from such a little nation puts a very different spin on things. amongst the ridiculous theories i come up with (like describing the opposite-sex you'd be.. seriously that one works. let me sabo somebody here like you know, you'd want to be a kind boy who looks nice and is devoted enough and is quiet but still has people paying attention to you - don't lie) it's that we've got so little room to share and we (un?)knowingly dance tangos journeying to the perfect interpersonal distance and as the story goes, sometimes we overcomepensate. i could say more, but this is incoherent enough - the gist is, if we could only put a little more distance between all of us, the effort it'd take to keep things up would be the best test of authenticity.
