bittersweet symphony

i love music and coffeeeeee. it keeps me going! and i just read this month's National Geographic this morning, and it was about yummy yummy coffee! it DOESNT dehydrate you if you take it in moderate amounts. and i just realized, that i didnt drink a single cup of water yesterday. which is bad, because my body never tells me when its thirsty. it ought to, so as to remind me to take in fluids that will keep my body running smoothly. but it just doesnt! aand, before i set my msn into 'appear offline' and close all my leisure internet exlorer windows and start at my homework, i better write something down now. else, i wouldnt get down to doing it later on.

friday was GOOOOOOD! well, in more ways than one. first thing is, we completed part 1 of our WEBcg assignment in the library. though last minute work is not so good, but i think it was pretty much productive. that was handed in! did my online grammar test as well. over and done with. third thing that was handed in, was the Marketing">marketing template 1! yay charlotte! WEBcg was fun today. it usually is anyway. liswanto is such a great teacher. unlike last semesters one who couldnt really help us. Mr liswanto is like, he explains everything carefully and goes round making sure that everyone understands and is able to follow him okay. and if you dont get it while watching the big screen on the wall, i usually dont, you can just raise your hand, and he'll come and patiently explain it to you. i've learnt alot during the few webcg lessons i've had. its feels, great, actually learning something. i hope i remember them long enough to complete our projects fine and for the test as well. :) so, it felt nice walking out of school, as free as a bird, with new knowledge about photoshop and imageready in my hand, ready to face the world. well, not really. but it was nice laaaaaa.

i headed to orchard to meet soongfee for LINDY! she's been taking advantage of me ever since i said i'd join salsa. DE CHUN JIN CHI DE SHUANG FEI! tsktsk. there was a debate gathering held at marche at around the same time as lindy. i wanted to go for both really! but i was obliged to go along with sf. since i had long agreed to it. missed out the chance to see all the debaters who i really miss. sean, miss yeo, qunbao, yuankun, sadh, yiwen, miss ang? so much has changed in just a year. met clarence at the 24hour kopitiam near the singapore arts museum for dinner. and headed to the museum for class. there was some big event there. david gan, the photographer. even my mom was asking me whether i had seen any of the big stars there. uhh, no. lindy was.. different. sorta fun. cuz it's a really spontaneous and laidback type of dance. not as serious as salsa is. lindy's like, bouncy and you're laughing all the time. after that, sfee wanted to head to jitterbugs. to see if she knew anyone there, so we could social for a while. trudged all the way to millenia walk. where soongfee fell! hah. and i, being the nice person i am, wore her heels for her, even though i cant walk properly in them. I WISH I COULD. so, we got to jitterbugs, and didnt see anyone she knew. on the way out, we bumped into daniel an his friend, edmund, and daniel told us that he was heading for jitterbugs! which was good! which meant we could go! luther and adeline was there as well. yay. well, i was the worst dancer salsa person there. im not even going to use the word dancer yet, cuz i am far from that level. i just move my legs back and forth and trip over the spins. THAT is not dancing. daniel's nice to dance with. very patient and, just, plain nice. edmund, kept making me trip cuz, he did stuff i never learned about. thing is about salsa, that if a guy does some fancy twist turn, you just go ahead with your basic footwork. i, however, freak out when the lead does something new. my eyes go wide, and im like, oh my god, and stop in my pace. must kick the habit, and try to relax. im very uptight and stressed. and you're not supposed to be. but anyway, danced with luther as well. he's gooooood. i felt bad for not knowing the steps he used. cuz, he DID teach them to us. but i just forgot. i felt so guilty. but, he would just stop dancing, and tell me nicely what im supposed to do. for example, wait till the guy pushes you to cross over, instead of taking a step forward on my own. :) :) :) :)

bunked at sfee's. and she helped me with my hip isolation. got it right at her place. but i guess i have to practice on my own like, everyday for at least 30 minutes to make sure it's ingrained in me. must must must.. salsa is fun. i cant wait to practice more and get better. it'll be wonderful to be able to social with people and not step on their feet. HEH.

stayed home yesterday. i wanted to do my work. but i couldnt cuz something came up, and i couldnt take my mind of that. one whole day, gone. i could have finished my work. shall do it now! cant go to church today, cuz my parents grounded me for coming back at 12.20pm yesterday from sfee's place, instead of noon. so im grounded, and they stayed over at hyatt for their anniversary. TSK. so unfair. another thing which IS unfair is that my dad buys my mom whatever she wants. expensive stuff. diamond bracelets and rolexes and pearls and rings with HUGE DIAMONDS on them. they cost tens of thousands of dollars. and he refuses to fork out a MERE 500 dollars for me for a simple and more useful item, like, an mp3 player.

i need a sugar daddy. i NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED a sugar daddy. -rips hair out. shall start my work now. writcomm essay and radio commercial! wish me luck!!

oh yes. i bought that cute top from the shop in wisma. it's like, this sexy alice in wonderland shirt. it's got pink and white squares, so it really looks like some hankerchief you used to use in kindergarten. and a thin trimming all around. it covers only your chest, your navel is exposed. and the only thing holding the whole thing together is an elastic piece of string which is tied in the front of the garment. just one string! it's so so so cute. people say its ugly. but i dont care. im probably not gonna wear it out. cuz, its too kinky revealing. and all i have is flabs. SO, i shall wear it once a day for 5 minutes and gaze at myself in the mirror. yay.
