surviving the odds

and still making my stand



where is the freaking laptop i ordered!!!

Saturday, August 29, 2009

school term started for a couple of weeks and i still have loads of breath. i havent found myself sinking deep into notes and tutorials.. only the awful pinch on the amount of $ i spend each day, even if it was neccessity like food and travelling and NOTES. it was a slap further when friends around me talk about their tuition kids and comparing the amount they earn each month while i have to make do with 300bucks per month and yet try to squeeze out some into savings from all that i have. have i mentioned i havent earnt a 4 digit sum yet? then again, im lucky enough to be spared from bank loans though i make it a point to return the dough back when i work in the future. oh wells, university life i reckoned. sometimes people end up being more insensitive or they might just be indirectly mocking you. it's part and parcel of growing up.

ahh also. i bought a laptop with what i earned from working during the longest break from school i've ever had. in fact, i can somewhat say i made the decision myself. and you guessed it, i got the cheapest i could afford. i couldnt bear to part with even 50 bucks more to spare myself from the waits i'll get for documents to load. stingy, thrifty. whatever. money management matters more than ever. seriously. but of course there are those occassional splurges that i explode with.. and even made to make do with, like dinner at some restaurants instead of a cafe or sort.

alrighty, so it turned out girls soccer does exists in ntu and nie students join that too. yay. but perhaps because of the excitement i had after months of game-droughts, i twisted and sprained my foot to a real bad sore that is beginning to slowly fade out of my life.. i figured it'll take AT LEAST another week to recover and for me to attend trainings and stuff. in the mean time, i gotta decide on the cca im gonna join. canoe-polo or soccer? canoe-polo is new and sounds just as awesome as soccer. and very much cleaner(with so much lesser mud). then there's this cute guy i found(FINALLY AN EYECANDY) who might be joining the cca too. most importantly, my foot steers clear away from any opponents inside the fibre-glass canoe. and there's no worries about getting a paddle in your face since you'll be wearing a helmet, a vest and..etc. at most i'll just get a bruise on my.. ARM??!!(WAATTT. AHH FREAK) alright, so why am i hesistating? water is nice, but not when you're a girl(get it?). and imagine all the constant soaking in chlorine water(ok. this is just a big hoo-haa. since i'll be ON the water not in it.) then there comes the though of having huge masculine arms O_o and not having the opportunity to run around wild on the "grassland" like in soccer. and freckles. shucks.(freckles are my main concern compared to most girly girls who fear being tanned) oh yes, i cant bear to let my soccer boots rot away in the corner of the room after i finally put them to good use last week(when i sprained my ligament).

next i got my chance to perform on stage but i screwed it up haha. oh wells. you cant expect someone who's got metal brackets cutting her in the mouth to sing too well right. alright. excuse if you deem it. i guess it's either more experience or just plain acting that suits me better (: my lower jaw got braced in SCREAMING PINK yesterday(but it's not prominent. so im actually more disappointed). so my gum's sore and i've been eating near-baby food since. hah. talk about back to basics. okie dokie. till then(when my laptop arrives the coming week. dangs. it better not be delayed again. I WANT MY FREE PRINTER)



All the sleepless nights;
and the tears you cry
