Hail.

It feels like a long time since my last post- I'd yet to start college back then. The past few weeks have been...interesting, to say the least. So far college is everything I'd hoped it would be, except maybe for the compulsory community service.

Lit class in particular is something I enjoy. Not just for the literature, but for the society as well. It has been a blessing in that respect: for some reason, I take to my fellow literature students more easily than others. Probably because the only people who take English Lit. are people like myself. It's been quite humbling as well. I was used to being one of the best in English back in secondary school but that is no longer the case. At best, I'm amongst equals. Also...10 marks out of 20 for poem analysis?!? I thought I was pretty good before, but the marks don't seem to agree. Maybe you could give me some lessons, Weng Yee? :p

And oh yes. My Bio teacher definitely deserves a mention. Very good teacher, with a wicked sense of humour.

Also, to my friends: Dann, Sze and Zhi Yan, it's been a pleasure. Loathe as I am to admit it, I'll miss you crazy people.

Other things that have happened in the intervening weeks include:

Book list for English Lit.

1.Jane Eyre!
2.Wide Sargasso Sea
3.The Oxford Anthology of English Poetry Volume II: Blake to Heaney
4.King Lear
5.Hamlet
6.Great Expectations
7.Life of Pi
8.The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale

This ought to be interesting. Don't know anything about 2 and 8 but I approve of 1 and 7! Not least because I've already read them and I like! Especially 1. :) Then there's Dickens, Shakespeare and poetry...Not sure what to think of those yet.

FREEEEDOOOO- Whait...wut?

Hello blog. You missed me? No, I'm not friggin' anthropomorphosising you- oh wait...

Anyway. SPM is over, in case you failed to notice all the sudden outbreak of insanity and inane joy amongst the mid-teens. Or was that zombies? O.o

DUN DUN DUUUUUN...

Still getting used to it. Some parts of my brain still insist that it's time to study at so and so o'clock. The perversity! I could have done with that before SPM....

Cloak and Dagger

Quote from a friend (I think you'll like this, Weng Yee):

To be living a synthetic life, wearing synthetic masks, but feeling real emotions... A bewildering and painful contradiction.

Anyway the wind blows...

...doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Back from graduation day, or in my vernacular, Much Ado About Nothing. No teary farewells or last-minute displays of solidarity for me, thanks. I've had done with this place, and I'm glad of it.

So. Insert over-sentimental reminiscing about the past here, 'cause I won't.

Interesting night. Decided to visit some relatives and ended up an iPhone the better for it. The reason? Uncle says he's not so 'tech-savvy'...

Heheh...quite a jump from my ancient derelict artifact of a bygone era. Now just gotta figure out how to work this thing. It's probably rather wasted on me since I'm probably going to end up not using 90% of its applications.

Also, it has an annoying Arabian-nights tone that sounds off every time I turn it on and off. Must find a way to switch that off before it drives me insane.

Bliss-ters

Well. That was some game. Thanks to Leon for the invite. Basketball ftw. Wtb port home next time. Hearthstone on cd.
