Leave Me, Sore Throat!
life is so good to me. i swear lah, even if all my 8 (yah i painfully decided to axe 4 from my list) colleges reject me because i am an useless under-qualified applicant in their pool of IB-ing geniuses who are this close to finding the cure for cancer, i will still be happy just because life is good. yes, i will still be happy even though i will be an uneducated bum for the next 4 years.
(well not SUPER happy lah, but kind of happy - in a contented, nirvanic, do-not-need-earthly-pleasures kinda way… sorta.. but of course if i got accepted into college, i am in no way complaining!!!!!!!)
all this stress has got me looking like crap. i bumped into Kiat Loong the other day, and when he saw me he said, “WHOA you look like hell!” -_______- then yesterday at dinner, i was telling Jin and the girls that i’ve been having this sleep problem where i can’t seem to fall asleep unless i’ve been up for at least 30 hours, and then Jin said “yeah i believe you.. you look like it”. -________- damn bad wan lah all these people :( cant they LIE!
things haven’t been going well lately. just little issues lah, but taxing nonetheless. and then i had to catch the flu / fever / sore throat bug that’s been going around, so now i feel drowsy all the time. but i cannot sleep, remember?! so it’s like i’m caught in this zombie limbo, neither awake or unawake, shuffling listlessly by as everyone zooms past me in their high heels and takeaway cups of coffee. all i have are dark circles under my eyes and not enough coffee. during times like these, ice cream and love keep me sane.
the other night i flopped onto the couch to channel-surf my headache away. Ugly Betty was due on, and i thought i’d just catch a few minutes of it to see if it’s a series i’d like to follow. but then this music video was playing. i dont remember who it was or what the song was called.. but all i remember was feeling really at peace watching it. and it was a very familiar feeling. for a few glorious moments i was brought back to those days where i could spend all day in front of a TV just watching videos and chilling out. that brief reprieve was great.. but then i had to turn off the tv and go back to life.
things that are keeping me happy :
1. i found my Reese’s shirt back!!! the one that Puppy got me. it says - ‘Love is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups’.
puppy, i dedicate this picture to you, even though i’m too sick to camwhore for you as per our original definition, and even though it was taken in the tandas at Starbucks, hehee.
2. i love Taylor’s College all over again :) they hire all the right people to be their Programme Directors. fingers crossed that this will go the way i need it to. FINGERS CROSSED.
3. i got an amazing email (or non-email, seeing how it wasn’t actually sent to me) from someone about my blog and how it inspires him. emails like that always make me feel wonderful, and each time i get one of those it’s always such a pleasant surprise. it’s a totally cool email, and i wish i could publish it here. thank you, Chris :) one day i will have to find your song too.
4. these pictures from Facebook’s Bumper Sticker application, hahahahhhaa! let me share the joy!! :
hilarious, yes?? isn’t that 300 one simply the giggles :D ah, good laughs.
