2008…leading to the next V day

i barely understand my mind sometimes, wait, most of the time…like now, when i’m overwhelmed with the sudden urge to do this entry in sch…with 20 over ppl staring behind my back…being the natives they r…Singaporeans being KPO…anw, that’s my POV…

I just finished the book Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman…courtesy of lender SaO, and i realised…woah, it’s been a long time since i completed a book…cos in my opinion, many books just get boring by page 57 or so…but i liked Anansi Boys, but not Anansi…the witty yet realistic form of human cum animal humor seems to appeal to me…of course, when i say realistic, i meant how a REAL person can imagine of diabolically evil or ridiculously —– stuff in interpreting ppl’s actions or contemplating their own set of actions…but it was definitely a fun read…i can’t wait to read the pre-sequel American Gods…SaO!!!!…lend me!!! pls!!!…

2008 speaks of stress…n a whole lot of workload…which naturally never would have existed if certain things were of certain proportions and kept within the new limits set up…then again, no one is tat square…for humans are animals that preferred NOT to live in a cage, and preferred TO rule over all other species, including their own………..i believe this is called “pride”, and this is apparently esp impt if u r Chinese…even if u just look like one and doesn’t speak the language, this is probably one hurdle u need to look out for…

anw…the opportunities given to the increased workload…i truly appreciate…for with increased age comes more responsibility (yes, yes, i had ppl laughing abt this)…but i just wish i wasn’t so tired or lazy at times, so that i can accomplish these things…

Ignite is starting anew…n my dear PT can’t keep up…according to KC, she made a promise but couldn’t keep it…nah, u can’t blame her, everyone makes new yr resolutions….resolutions are made to allow ppl to realise tat it’s a new yr, tat they can start things anew, and by or after valentine’s day, return to their mundane, usual self, which is exactly identical to the last 11 months of 2007…to summarise (for those who have yet to comprehend), resolutions don’t last…

there is one way to make resolutions last…not a guaranteed method but it works with some ppl…n tat is making promises to God…for after u make one, and not keep it, you’ll get the true feelin of guilt in u, and soon, u apologise and renew tat promise with Him…don’t be mistaken, I’m a culprit too myself…but i’ll work hard not to be one…

yes…valentine’s…u noe it’s coming…becos the arts fac is filled with large pink letters of V, stuck on a long roll of pink crepe paper with UHU glue, telling u how to order flowers for ur love ones at prices at least 10 times tat of the new GST rates……………and after looking at tat, u’ll vow to stay off chocolate till March, and tat if u wanted flowers, u’ll grow them instead of buy them…

In S’pore, guys get stressed during V’s day, since they are the ones having to plan tat special evening, fighting with one another for pairing seats in restaurants and movie theatres…honestly, it’s the day tat even man with money has no power…first come first serve basis…….however, in Japan, it’s slightly different, becos ,instead, the girls stress themselves on V day making choco for guys they r interested in…the guys basically sit back and wait…

btw…i went with my mom to confectionary shop tat sold items for baking n making desserts…n there was this shelf selling and teaching ppl how to make chocolates…it got me excite, then disappointed, cos my mom said we didn’t have a marble table top to stir the molten choco…darn, i so wanted to make sure……i guess the only consolation is tat i don’t have anyone to give to……??!!!
