to B: i can tell how upset you are tt jon didn't get in, cos you mentioned in BOTH entries that you posted. Haha. I thought he was going to UK alr? But I guess he WOULD want to go to the US cos then you'd be nearer each other, but being in the UK already halves the distance between sg + US.
Also, US admissions is really strange I don't see why he should not have gotten in, except that maybe they'd rather have more of their OWN american students. we had a couple of //ha/r/va/rd students in n/u/s at some talk that day and i felt rather -_- that OUR own p/r/ofe/ssors were like being sycophant-ish to them, when some of them just looked spoilt and were checking their fac/e/book accounts while the speaker was speaking.
after which, our prof had this seminar/talk with /n/us/ students (just with us only) in which he was like, ohh you know i was talking to thoes /haarrrrvarrdd students and it's really okay if you guys DON't KNOW what you want to do next time you know, because, they didn't know either~!!! *himbo alert*
but yeaa i guess i sound like those sourgrapish people who like to bomb the elites, no different from raffles-bashers here in singapore. HAHAhA. but actually i think i hate my professor for saying that more than those students (since one of them actually asked a rather brilliant question, n i noted down immediately the sophistication of thought which thus increased my respect for that individual, though possibly not the institution).
but in any case, b is your call for art works just random? i painted something for lijun last year ! which is supposedly quite nice since it impressed some of HER dormpeople (okay one to be specific) so maybe you can ask her for a photo. artartart
parisbreakfasts (dot) blogspot (dot) com also has some.. but simple water colour paintings of food mostly. she gushes alot about macaroon.s i only discovered her today so no am not a long standing fan
to mak and lijun: HAHAHAHAHA stupid mak you just like to keep up appearances about being lj's nemesis right?
and lijun ive been waiting for a xanga subscription of your turkey trip to come in and was rather worried that you're STILL in Turkey despite term having started? i thinkk?? and why did you two fight? I just received a postcard from Kelly, which has the acropolis on one side of it. What does it feel like to be in Singapore while people are everywhere? Love is really strong, since random thought but B expressed much more grief at Jon not getting into US unis whilst none that Granny didn't get anywhere! But this threatens to launch me back into my self-victimization cycle again
in other news, our dear /r/u/th gan has dropped out of uni and gone to work. and i had to meet the /v/ice/ dean cos she thought that /ru/th had some mental problem... which i wouldn't be so quick to dismiss actually. i don't know. ive mentioned this to lijun before so ..but i guess im in no position to judge. the /v/i/ce /de/an's a bit scary though... cos she's so.. "wanna be your friend". which is fine. but i also feel like she's "judging" me, especially since her interest in me positively spiked up when she realised that i was from "rj", and also "rgs". O_O.
i shall ignore such stupid labels and just go on with my life. lone ranger life. people here don't make friends you know. we're just lookign at each other everyday in class hoping everybody else does worse than you so that you can get an A, and i guess im not warranted to say that of everybody - and only me, since only I am inside me - but what more can you infer from people who
1) keep asking you if oyu've started on your essays
2) keep asking you if you've COMPLETEd your essays
3) if they can have a look at your essays (Which i did allow, briefly, but of course that stupid guy just wanted to pounce on the opportunity to make me "feel small", by making a big fuss about me NOT hAVING INCLUDED some stupid CRUCIAL argument related to my question.... what's with people + wanting to victimise others??!)
4) asking if they can PAY you to help them photocopy about 300 pages worth of required readings... -_-. By email.
and there's more I could list... and i wanna kaobei about how a/n/di always pangsehs me for lunch! but it's not her fault in the sense that she just can't handle time well....
but it really makes me wonder if I've become a "worser" person, cos last time people used to "gravitate" towards me cos i'm oh-so-funny and i still-am-sorta cos people always laugh at what i say in class, BUT.... it ends there.
i think they may be daunted by my "intellect". it's a bit bhb to say this. but you know what happened about the cat who jumped into my house and peed around? If you want to read about it click here : CLICK ON ME
so anyway we were analysing this short story in calss and there was a line about a black cat walking after a grey cat so one of my classmates mentioned it in order to support one of the points she was making and I just randomly said , "I hate cats."
and she actually looked at me and said, "oh sorry."
O_O.
and she's not the vv quiet and timid sort, she's this pretty indian girl who's very assertive, ac/j/c drama types, very outspoken with good diction...
it's abit much to allege that i've intimidated her.. but after she said sorry i found myself sputtering saying, "no it's not that..." but it's a bit irrelevant to bring up that incident in the middle of some literary analysis.
blahblahbalhba.
i really should get started on my essay
for those who don't already knwo, i actually have a gossip blog that has been having at least 1000 hits a day. Hurray. but it's not alot for a gossip blog. there's hongkong and taiwan news on it too :
(take out the slashes)
my/f//irst/gossip/blog [dot] wordp/ress [dot] com
yepp. leave a comment or something if you would so deign to .
oh yes and I have to reiterate that R//oy/s/t/on Ta/n pwns in terms of technical expertise, colour, prettiness.... BUT NOT STORYLINE. /8/8/1 was a long extended MTV ...very boring. Songs are nice but oookay lah. Ja/c/k Neo's I Not Stupid is still my favourite, better in terms of story i think. Maybe /Singapore D/reaming too but I'd have to watch it first to comment.
But I don't know, i think im sick of the singaporean circle. it's an irrational claim you're thinking butbutbut... maybe i'll substantiate in time to come. I HATE MYSELF
