sometimes i just feel so lost, drifting about. inconsequential, insubstantial, unneeded. not mattering to anyone at all.

at times like this i just want to run away, to disappear forever. one person less and what does it matter?

yesterday and today are happy days.

Yesterday.the PW teacher was off, so during PW, Siobhan, Charm, Gaby, Miao Qin, Pauline and I drew our ideal cake on a piece of paper and passed it to the guys to guess who drew which cake. Mine was "easy to guess", no fun. Then the guys drew stick figures and passed it to us to guess. Jin Quan's was the easiest ( Read more... )

Increasingly I'm becoming acutely aware of my (lack of) intellectual capability. With that, I'm not as confident (of my abilities) as I used to be, in Nanyang. People around me seem to think highly of my capability, yet time and time again, I prove them wrong -- failing math tests, getting sucky grades for KI, etc. Even the DSTA scholarship.

swimming offers ample opportunities for introspection and contemplation. While swimming yesterday, I discovered the reason why I was the way I was, why I made the choices that I did, why my interests are what they are. It's all inextricably linked to family background, how I was brought up, my family, my childhood ( Read more... )

3.5 hours of playing tennis! I'm physically exhausted, dragging myself home and now around the house, and slightly sunburnt (3.5 hours in the sun ( Read more... )

Hmmm, for some strange reason, I'm very accident-prone. To cut the long story short, I ran to hit a tennis ball, then somehow slipped and fell down hard on my face and right elbow. I saved the racket but didn't save my face. the irony. So I ended up with a sadly bruised elbow and a badly bruised nose I thought was broken, and a bumped head and ( Read more... )
