fast and furious

last week went by astoundingly quick.. i'm trying to blog once a week cos so many things are going on and i don't want everything to end up a hazy blur. last week was fantastic fun haha.

on monday, me and den fell asleep in the evening while doing our post-class activities (playing stupid online games/ facebooking). we woke shortly before jac got back with the sad news that we didnt make it for dp. i spent the night wallowing in self-pity and self-doubt. but things got better after me jac den and mel walked the long road down to west coast macs for green tea mcflurry! thanks guys, especially jac cos i know i whined u into coming with me haha.. when we got back to hall, weijun and xinjie were in the pantry with the AWESOMEMEST mooncakes. i really hate mooncakes, but this was like milo + rittersport + greentea level awesomeness combined into something disguised as a mooncake! it was however, GD expensive. 48 bux for 8 pieces? guys, we gotta treat weijun to something man...

on tuesday we had block initiation! funnest stuff ever for a psycho torturer like me. maybe i was a jap soldier in my last life too huh? set up the most disgusting things for the freshies. the a2 girls (but not me) threw the grossest stuff into the pantry bin and made blindfolded freshies finds spoons.. the a4 guys did the most shit la.. all used to be jap soldiers i bet. nearly-toilet dunking?? toilet oaths?? the ultimate grossness haha. they filled this bin with maggi mee + bread + vinegar + ketchup?? they brought me in for a preview, and i propmptly retched. and this was when everything else was still clean.. poor freshies, really.
we didnt have initiation last yr, i am kinda relieved a little, but i also kinda wish we had it. u know, cos the lame-sounding bonding thing is actually true. but as a senior it was shitass fun. throw flour at ppl, force them to say stupid stuff, smear paint on them, put ice down their shirts, smack them with magazines. and u dont get hit for that yeaaaaaaaa

finally i met with zhi! time passed too fast cos we were having fun. then i went back to hall for ibg. almost passed out from running up and down the court like 2 times or something. hung around and played handball till lights out even though i still had to prepare for thai. and do macro. argh i am the procrastinator. then went for supper cos i was starving to death. i am like the most uncoordinated idiot?? hit the prata dude while he was walking past our table cos i just had to swing my hand arnd while talking. kicked this girl after cos i just had to stretch my leg out when she was walknig past. bad timing or what. went back, hung around and marcus brought sha sha down. she is becoming too much of a cat for me to not freak. but still cute haha. played pingpong, showered, did thai and finally slept at 430.

sorry to get pensive but is this what hall life is? i love the chalet-ish feeling even though it means i dont get much done. i cannot imagine not staying in hall even though i dont know if by staying i am doing what's good for me. u see, i stay pretty near school so i dont NEED to stay..rooms are expensive so i am spending cash (my own, cos mean dad) which i should be saving/donating/investing in something else. i dont head/captain anything, and i am not involved in any commitees/productions (and not that i didnt try) so it isn't like my resume is benefiting. i spend more time hanging out then doing work so i am not helping my CAP either. these are things that make me question whether i am kicking my own ass/ ruining my life unknowingly.
the freedom is great, i get to come back anytime i want. stay out late when there's class the nx morning and not get locked out/ have ppl pissed at you. i get to wake at 940 when there's class at 10. but it's the people that make me happy i think . late night suppers. playing different sports together is one of the things i like most. something's always happening. having friends holler for u to go down and play. i like playing at the mpc. so many people are playing so many sports at the same time, u can just go extra in another game when u get bored with yours, and the funniest accidents happen. coming back after class and there's jac/den in my room to tell about my day. or even mel/celeste whose door is always open (literally). when i see the lights on when i am walking back from class i feel happy, u can talk/sing loudly and awfully when showering in consecutive cubicles. share notes with those who are in your classes. . share food, share music, share your last teen/ schooling years.

one day i will read this entry and maybe i will shudder at how i spent my uni years but more likely i will smile to myself when i remember cos this is such Fun Times at NUS.
and probably i am not doing the Right Thing for my future. i dont know why i am even stressing out bout this. i never thought about my future. this must be a sign of increasing maturity, the fact that i am thinking past what i can see. but i should live in the present right? and take things as they come? i am thinking, i sure hope i will know what i am supposed to do when something i should do appears right in front of me. cos i wanna make the best of this time. no more missing out/ falling short.

wong out
