Stayed up last night for a movie marathon :) Caught with some old films. Ok, not that old actually. Started with Iron Man then Taken and 300
Taken and 300 were superb man. Til now, all the fighting scenes are stuck in my head. 300's fighting scenes and dam cool plz.
Alrites, had my jab for YEP trip today. Filled in tons of paperwork for an hour. Had a chance to bond with the older guys :)
Heh, we had a health talk about how to keep safe and prevent any illnesses. Typhoid and Hepatitis A, passable by food and water. Do not take any ice. Ice is from tap water. Dam... cold water no?
Oh oh how about Traveler's Diarrhea.
Head Doctor: Oh if you have to go to the toilet 10 times a day, or if the diarrhea last for more than 7 days, then its considered a severe case
Here's another one...
Header Doctor: You can go to a hospital for medication there or wait till you come back.
ERM, ISN'T DIARRHEA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? DIDN'T YOU JUST MENTIONED 10 TIMES A DAY? AND WAT? WE'RE LIKE GONNA BE THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. WAIT TIL WE COME BACK?
Yea, my second favourite. Rabies. Here's a questionnaire for you.
Rabiphobia
Instructions: This is a test on how much you really are afraid of rabies. Look at the following statements. If you ever a tinge of "Oh shit, rabies is gonna kill the world", you lose. If you don't, move on to the next statement ;)
--- Stay away from all animals you see. Dogs, cats, chickens and bats included. --- Does that scare you?
--- We all know rabies is easily transmittable by animal bites and the place we're going is pretty rural --- Terrified of animals now?
--- Dogs might sometimes attack you even when unprovoked. --- Tell me you're shivering with fear
--- If you get rabies, you need to get the immunoglobulin within 7 days to be safe from it --- 7 days!! wat if you cant make it in 7 days?!?
CONGRATULATIONS FOR REACHING THIS FAR, YOU ARENT AFRAID OF ANYTHING ARE YOU? ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL QUESTION?
--- If you get rabies, you'll need to receive five injections for treatment, as well as another for immunoglobulin treatment.Oh plz, I'm not done yet.Each jab will cost you $160. EACH. Fantastic. Oh, and I forgot one more thing. The immunoglobulin, yes that word you're having problems reading out in your mind, will cost you $1-2-0-0. Get one bite and that will be $2000 + a flight back home for hospitalization. Do visit us again! Kthxbai
Let's see, I'll end it off with malaria. OH Binh Dong is quite a malaria stricken place so its quite easy to get malaria.
Head Doctor: Aedes are those carrying dengue while Anopheles are the ones with malaria, so they're the night shift workers.
Hmm...
Head Doctor: We'll be giving you doxycycline to prevent malaria. You'll have to take one before the trip, one daily throughout the trip, and one daily for 28 days after. Erm, that will be able forty pills in total
You could just see everyone's face go "WTH?!"...
Oh, and she's wearing a mask but I can so bet you she has an evil smile underneath it
Head Doctor: That because the malaria parasite can stay dormant in your body for up to one year, so this medication will cover you for the first month.
One year? Just great.
Ok in conclusion, this rural area of Vietnam poses plenty of points that can cause illnesses. Er, thanks for the talk.
DUN YOU FEEL SO MUCH SAFER ALREADY?
Lol, it's been quite some time since I had uncontrollable laughing fits but yea, right after i had my injection (2 times ok...) 1 second later, I looked at my friend and burst out laughing. -> LMAO. I bet the nurse was O.o"
Nurse: roll up your sleeve Me: ... Nurse: Breathe in Me: *inhales* Nurse: *stabs needle in* Me: *waits for the fluids to flow in but feels nothing* Nurse: *takes needle out* Me: Huh? so fast uh? Nurse: Ya, we're done with the flu vaccine, next is the typhoid and it'll hurt a little more Me: ... Nurse: *stabs second needle in and squeeze yellow liquid in* Me: Ow Nurse: Alrights! Your nightmare's over, it's done Me: *mumbles* what nightmare, I wasn't that scared ok Me: *turns to look at fren* LMAO
Yea why I laughed was because throughout the whole waiting period, he kept on going abt wanting to be poked in the butt instead of the arms, and a lot more jokes abt it. Of cause he wasnt gonna do that but when the real thing came, he got a middle-aged male nurse and... yea, it's jus plain hilarious.

(Miss Fong was suggesting we share toiletries to reduce overall luggage weight)
Miss Fong: So maybe you people can break up into groups and check out with each other what you guys might be bringing and then like maybe one of you can bring a big bottle of shampoo and soap to share, or things like toothbrush...
And so I thought everything wud be over after the exams... Guess not. Each day is still mounted with much stress, already on my exhausted mind.
T01 gathering is postponed later, with goods and bads. Good, I hav more time to make the vid, bad, I so need that refreshment to help me cope with this stress.
Ba anyway, class vid is going pretty well, even better that now I have more time to complete the 3rd part which i'm stuck at.
If time could come to a standstill, the hands on the clock stop ticking. People freeze in their tracks, their final facial expression firmly etched. Some are smiling, some are laughing. Others tell a poignant story behind those sad faces. What about me?
This calls for the end of Sem 1 =D. Goodbye to all the mugging, endless hurting fingers due to crappy pen (scribbling for exams...) and stresssss.
Eh last two nites before socio and psych exams omg. Horrible nights I had... Even while sleeping, my mind is dreaming/processing all the stuff I've revised during midnite. I see it in my head. words, lists, definitions omg. Thank God there's only 2 papers.
Watched Up with classmates, itz nice, a little bit saddening, but haha overall quite enjoyable. Group went to Minds Cafe after Vic left and, played Taboo and Hit or Miss
shud be self explanatory.

While playing Taboo...
Darren: *picks up 'joke'* Darren: Haha, Zi kang always tells?? Mabel: Lies.
While playing Hit-or-Miss... ok the rule of the game is to write down all you can on a certain theme and lets see... List the things that comes in pairs.
Zi Kang: Wa set uh, who got write wat i write? Bobo: *raises hand* Yvette: *raises hand* Denise: *raises hand*
Heh wth, I got booted out from Macs again, and only after 1 hour of studying this time.
Anyways, first time at T3 =) lol omg, the place is super beautiful not to mention very big. I had a hard time finding Macs... Oh OMG those bouncy balloonish playground thingy zomg. Dam cool pls.
Heh sucks, 1hr and nowhere to go. Decided to study some where in my home vicinity and dam... all taken by those rowdy after-school rascals -.-
So now I'm back home which was a extremely bad move becos I'm bound to be distracted by com. Shit shit shit
I sat and watched, and in my heart, I envied
The irony
3rd day at macs chionging Socio. Met Isabel. Got booted from Macs cos they had renovations. Frens all turning pretty moody over life plus the exam stress. Life's coming down pretty hard on everyone huh?
Why, is it in life, that sadly, it often takes one to feel loss to feel gain? Why, are we blinded by complacency, only to be in the light in pain? Why, are we unable to fully grasp the meaning of life and all within? Why, do we covet others in life, despite all the beauty we have to begin?
Why just cant we see?

Awesome, for the first time ever, I actually stared a book for 7.5 hours straight, without breaks. It has to be a sheer miracle I did that. 135 pages... that accounts to almost 50k words. Ha, do I have anyone's pity?
Went to airport today to try study. Couldn't find Macs. Randomly walked about and found it. I finished reading 5 chapters in total :) Not sure if anything got in though. I'm sure my eyes are horribly killed though.
Half of the while, a trio of ACS kiddos occupied a table in front of me. Dam, one kid was especially noisy. And his voice was horribly distractive. If I could, I would have tossed him into the fountain beside. -___-" So much for reading on Socialization and Social Structure.
haha, and one funny part ... consisting of First, Second and Third Worlds was used to depict global stratification. First world referred to the industrialized capitalist nations, Second World to the communist (or socialist) nations, and Third World to any nations that did not fit into the first two categories (Henslin, 2009, p.184)
Meh, what the. You come home all hungry, dump all the rice that is left in the rice bowl and get ready to spoon all the other dishes into your plate and WTH? you see a freaking swarm of ants all huddled in one mass. Slam the plate and they all go into a frenzied state, dashing towards all corners of the earth, or maybe, MY RICE, MY DINNER.
heh, I don't mind eating my food with ants, but... at least not live ants crawling all, i repeat, all over. Attempting a mass wipeout via the microwave didn't work, so I stuck to the old fashioned way, I'll just wait and squished them when possible. So much for dinner. I cant possibly squish them while they are on my rice right... Just waited for them to steer clear from the rice and... *poke* one down, dozens more to go. And just when I think I've killed half of them, stab my spoon into a clump of rice, voila, another spawn of ants appears from the crevices of my dinner. The waiting game continues... *poke poke*
Awesome. After 4 solid days on learning on Learning. Now I'm gonna have to start memorising on Memory. :/
No wait. I played games the whole entire day!!! ARHHHHH~ owells.
Current progress:
Psych: 2 chaps Socio: NA
good lucks ppl :/ Chao.

Suddenly, the whole idea friends strikes me hard. I've lost some, been without some, and as well as made some.
I'm a hardcore 'suan'er by nature, (all my friends will agree in complete unison). But haha, ok luh, at least I dun go too far? (Oh if you think its that bad already, you havent see anything). But ya, sometimes I think just a tinsy winsy bit of sincere words and really brighten someone's day? Heh, I'm beginning to switch more to the nicer side rather than suaning ppl all day BUT I assure you all... You people will never be relieved of the day of which I will suan you! Muahahax
Okayz back to friends. You know, I really dont believe in friends. The harsh reality is that people come and people go. NO ONE will stay by your side forever. That you'll have to agree with me. But, I think what's more important than making new friends or saying goodbye to some is cherish those around you.

That pic is from an album of his photography which he compiled that omg raised 1 friggin K...
Friends, I might say, are like your average MRT trips. At every other point in time, people board, people alight. Really, I think, its not a matter of "Hi"s and "Goodbye"s but all that goes between them. The time spent together. The "cheap thrills" and sad days. The times of when friends sit together over some starbucks coffee, and just stare blankly into each other eyes.
From another view, using the same analogy, while we have people boarding and alighting from the cabins we're in, we ourselves do have our own times of boarding and alighting.
Through experience, I have suffered the loss of a best friend, all done by my own folly. All I did was teased him, manipulated him, you know, just to really lord over him. Like this:
In a friendship, the experiences should be mutual. The joys, the burdens, the share weal-and-woe-together kind of thing. Like this:
Having a friend doesnt mean to receive from others; fun, love, affection, emotional and material wants. We've got to be that friend as well. To be a support to another, maybe to be just a listening ear, give a pleasant surprise, or just to have one's presence around. Heh, in short, be a friend :)
To all my friends out there:
I love you all :)

Awesome people, I got my new passport done, you know the new Ecard reader thingy or something. Heh, my new passport number rawks, literally.
Sometimes I wish I could just off the lights to everything. To 'die' to it. It's like life's giving me hard knocks. Not in the face, but right at the guts. Those jabs won't kill, its just give such a terrible agonizing feeling.
lol. Am in school today after multiple screwups. Even have no mood to eat my subway. Food is supposed to make me happy :( Lagging behind in revision. Oh the melancholy. :/
Baaah Day 3 and still nothing much's done. =/ Haha met TK to get something from him to pass to Azlin and hey hey, she didn't come. Now I gotta take care of it.
Did something without thinking again. Went for lunch with GZK after 2 hours of borrrinnng lecture. Bought my meal from the mixed rice stall.
Me: *points points points points* Lady: This? Me: "nono, aiya ok luh ok luh" *points points*
In the end, my meal cost $6. WTH? let see, I had 4 meat. 1 veg. 1 egg. 4meat?? i dunno why either, I jus kept pointing. And i finished it!! cool huh? That's what I thought too, till I realized I'll be studying in the library. Books + aircon = drowsy.
I gazed up and saw you with the clouds.
Open those books

Argh, day 2 and i havn't got much done. Studying using powerpoint sure is weird, but fairly effective, despite the slow pace. Am only done with 1 chapter =/ HAHA ANYONE WANT IT TELL ME OK!!! (bet no one even bothers -__-")
Arghhhhh, I'm feeling so lost without you.
Itz gonna be over in time
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Itz gonna be over in time...
Wooots, everything's over. Its a awesome great day today!!! *ponders if I did anything stupid* *thinks how most of you will say "as usual"*
Yeaa, this is awesome peeps. No more anything, no more assignments no more deadlines no more late nights. Just studying.
Oh mans.. Sociology is gonna be ultimate goner, I still cant catch sociology... Who doesnt understand it too?!? *raises hand with biiiig smile :D* -.- bet only me. And oh myyyy, studying... zzz, Gonna try a very different study method this time. PPTX =D
Right. So this almost concludes the term for PCS. A few more weeks, Oh the wonderful memories...
The PsychoCommservSocio, the terrible feline that clawed our minds, the IT classes most of us dreaded. The lecturers, the adjuncts, the sidekick of she from 'sociological literature'. The hard work, the slacky days, the days where we slept while boring lecturers spoke to the wind. The assignments we all had fun doing, the assignments we hated doing, and the assignments some didnt even do. The countless research, the pages of references, and the buggy SafeAssign that gets us all pissed. The grades, the peer evaluation, the troublesome cover sheet that hid the grades; good or bad. The CCA's, the commitments, the kids with neither. The most favourite website, the useless mailbox with important mails hidden in a jungle of spam,the screwy databases we got to dig info from. The overcrowded eating spot by Blk 51, the secluded one with japanese and western meals, the Macs we had our class memories at. The fun times, the even more fun times, the one heck of an awesome class. The laughters, the emoness, the crazy scandals we threw about like a hot metal plate. The clowns, the loners, the two pseudo-bimbos. The 6Bores, the tight cliques, the current of the river flow. The class outings, the class meals, the class ponning as a whole. The LOL's, the FAIL's, and the exclusive T01 jargon.
BYE.
Edit: KEKEX, I'm surprised, people actually loved that whole chunk of text =D Thanks all. ^^

Lord I humbly offer this sacrifice to you. May you take the highest priority in my life. This which I hold dear to my heart, I give it to you. In return, I need your help to get me through this. Give me your strength, your joy, your peace to aid me. I don't know how things might work out, but I believe its all in your hands.
It's been almost a decade since I saw you. you know, suddenly I realized you don't mean as much as me anymore you're fading its all a maelstrom of emotions and i dunno if I shud let you go
I've got my new lease of life. new friends, new laughters, new aims new people to live for No more idle time, no more empty paths
A funnel for my emotions, you were on the smaller end. but now I've taken your place and the world's taken mine. it feels good.
you were nothing but a dream anyway but now, I see reality before me A unity, a group, a life I found the substance of my absence I found where I belonged
The chair I took, The chair from I fell, The smile you had My pain couldn't compare My best memory of you Crafted with silver, I'll leave it with you
So I'll cherish those times. And I'll cherish that smile. I'll cherish that bliss I felt whenever I thought of you I hope through my prayers, you felt that warmth in your heart May happiness be with you, as with my memories now I part. Goodbye LY.
My group went first because i had to rush off for a YEP project later. Was nervous like shitz. 2 videos and a quick ppt, with a fussy professional psychologist as a teacher. (Note: professional refers to psychologist, not teacher)
I started off the tech stuff 5 minutes early to test the audio. Lol, stupid windows media player was like trying to be cheeky or something. Either it played without me starting it or it was playing another video. The videos played I think 3 or 4 times? Hope fully Fred didn't mind.
Yea so we started off with the skit video. Hey, wasn't so bad after all. The class actually laughed a few times. Maybe I was too judgmental? My documentary up next. Pretty solemn, didnt really garner much I guess. Hopefully at least they were intrigued by the illusions.
OHOHOH HEY, THE AWARENESS TEST VID WAS SUPER COOL. Vid: "How many pasess does the team in white make?" *Vid plays* Vid: "Did you count 13?" Sarah, Vic: YES I COUNTED ALL 13 WOOHOO!!! Vid: "But, did you see the moonwalking bear?" Vic: OMG WHAT MOONWALKING BEAR. WHERE GOT? *Vid replays* *guy in bear suit strides/moonwalks across scene* Class laughs
=D yaaaaay. Although i bet Fred didnt care a hoot about that.
So yea, I gotta miss out the rest of the class' performances =/ Especially looking forward to 6Bores stuff. oh wells =/
But hey, YEP proj wasn't that too bad. (trying to console myself...) At least I got to gain more experience working with mentally disabled kids again. It was fun and a ity bity more bonding time with the YEP team. ALTHOUGH I LOVE MY CLASS MORE!
One thing that was hitched unto my mind was that, despite being mentally disabled, autistic, low IQ, whatsoever, the group that i worked with, the kids, they actually looked out for each other. They would call our for the one left behind, hold each other hands to keep the group together.
What about we as a society? Do we look out for ourselves? or even if not, do we look out for ourselves first? If mentally disabled kids are taught and able to live as such, what about we able-minded people?
WHAT THE OMG TIM TOLD ME I MISSED OUT A HECK LOTS OF FUN TODAY!!! FELLOW CLASS PRESENTATIONS, CLASS OUTING, 6BORES, WAT THE HECK DAM. LSEG.
I've been sleeping terribly late recently. Dam tired... Esp friday for doing up the CATS proposal. sleeping at 3, waking at 6.
Here's a tribute to all fellow late sleepers,
Teens and the time they sleep:
if... 6 pm - probably still sleeping after late night coffee 7 pm - probably in another time zone 8 pm - after chionging projects for 1 week straight 9 pm - suffering from extremely rare sleeping disorder in teens. 10 pm - resting cos' of H1N1 11 pm - Depressed over lost puppy 12 am - that's early, cmon are you bored? 1 am - normal kid at school 2 am - chatting with frenz or doing schoolwork 3 am - its gettting late 4 am - I bet u chionging project 5 am - prepare for big black eye bags 6 am - not sleeping anymore 7 am - forget it, i'm not going school today 8 am - oh shit, I shudnt have drank that cup of coffee
Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Hosanna -
Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.

You come home all hungry, dump all the rice that is left in the rice bowl and get ready to spoon all the other dishes into your plate and WTH? you see a freaking swarm of ants all huddled in one mass. Slam the plate and they all go into a frenzied state, dashing towards all corners of the earth, or maybe, MY RICE, MY DINNER.
heh, I don't mind eating my food with ants, but... at least not live ants crawling all, i repeat, all over. Attempting a mass wipeout via the microwave didn't work, so I stuck to the old fashioned way, I'll just wait and squished them when possible. So much for dinner. I cant possibly squish them while they are on my rice right... Just waited for them to steer clear from the rice and... *poke* one down, dozens more to go. And just when I think I've killed half of them, stab my spoon into a clump of rice, voila, another spawn of ants appears from the crevices of my dinner. The waiting game continues... *poke poke*

Suddenly, the whole idea friends strikes me hard. I've lost some, been without some, and as well as made some.
I'm a hardcore 'suan'er by nature, (all my friends will agree in complete unison). But haha, ok luh, at least I dun go too far? (Oh if you think its that bad already, you havent see anything). But ya, sometimes I think just a tinsy winsy bit of sincere words and really brighten someone's day? Heh, I'm beginning to switch more to the nicer side rather than suaning ppl all day BUT I assure you all... You people will never be relieved of the day of which I will suan you! Muahahax
Okayz back to friends. You know, I really dont believe in friends. The harsh reality is that people come and people go. NO ONE will stay by your side forever. That you'll have to agree with me. But, I think what's more important than making new friends or saying goodbye to some is cherish those around you.

Friends, I might say, are like your average MRT trips. At every other point in time, people board, people alight. Really, I think, its not a matter of "Hi"s and "Goodbye"s but all that goes between them. The time spent together. The "cheap thrills" and sad days. The times of when friends sit together over some starbucks coffee, and just stare blankly into each other eyes.
From another view, using the same analogy, while we have people boarding and alighting from the cabins we're in, we ourselves do have our own times of boarding and alighting.
Through experience, I have suffered the loss of a best friend, all done by my own folly. All I did was teased him, manipulated him, you know, just to really lord over him. Like this:
In a friendship, the experiences should be mutual. The joys, the burdens, the share weal-and-woe-together kind of thing. Like this:
Having a friend doesnt mean to receive from others; fun, love, affection, emotional and material wants. We've got to be that friend as well. To be a support to another, maybe to be just a listening ear, give a pleasant surprise, or just to have one's presence around. Heh, in short, be a friend :)
To all my friends out there:
I love you all :)

Awesome people, I got my new passport done, you know the new Ecard reader thingy or something. Heh, my new passport number rawks, literally.
Sometimes I wish I could just off the lights to everything. To 'die' to it. It's like life's giving me hard knocks. Not in the face, but right at the guts. Those jabs won't kill, its just give such a terrible agonizing feeling.
lol. Am in school today after multiple screwups. Even have no mood to eat my subway. Food is supposed to make me happy :( Lagging behind in revision. Oh the melancholy. :/
Baaah Day 3 and still nothing much's done. =/ Haha met TK to get something from him to pass to Azlin and hey hey, she didn't come. Now I gotta take care of it.
Did something without thinking again. Went for lunch with GZK after 2 hours of borrrinnng lecture. Bought my meal from the mixed rice stall.
Me: *points points points points* Lady: This? Me: "nono, aiya ok luh ok luh" *points points*
In the end, my meal cost $6. WTH? let see, I had 4 meat. 1 veg. 1 egg. 4meat?? i dunno why either, I jus kept pointing. And i finished it!! cool huh? That's what I thought too, till I realized I'll be studying in the library. Books + aircon = drowsy.
I gazed up and saw you with the clouds.

Itz gonna be over in time...
Wooots, everything's over. Its a awesome great day today!!! *ponders if I did anything stupid* *thinks how most of you will say "as usual"*
Yeaa, this is awesome peeps. No more anything, no more assignments no more deadlines no more late nights. Just studying.
Oh mans.. Sociology is gonna be ultimate goner, I still cant catch sociology... Who doesnt understand it too?!? *raises hand with biiiig smile :D* -.- bet only me. And oh myyyy, studying... zzz, Gonna try a very different study method this time. PPTX =D
Right. So this almost concludes the term for PCS. A few more weeks, Oh the wonderful memories...
The PsychoCommservSocio, the terrible feline that clawed our minds, the IT classes most of us dreaded. The lecturers, the adjuncts, the sidekick of she from 'sociological literature'. The hard work, the slacky days, the days where we slept while boring lecturers spoke to the wind. The assignments we all had fun doing, the assignments we hated doing, and the assignments some didnt even do. The countless research, the pages of references, and the buggy SafeAssign that gets us all pissed. The grades, the peer evaluation, the troublesome cover sheet that hid the grades; good or bad. The CCA's, the commitments, the kids with neither. The most favourite website, the useless mailbox with important mails hidden in a jungle of spam,the screwy databases we got to dig info from. The overcrowded eating spot by Blk 51, the secluded one with japanese and western meals, the Macs we had our class memories at. The fun times, the even more fun times, the one heck of an awesome class. The laughters, the emoness, the crazy scandals we threw about like a hot metal plate. The clowns, the loners, the two pseudo-bimbos. The 6Bores, the tight cliques, the current of the river flow. The class outings, the class meals, the class ponning as a whole. The LOL's, the FAIL's, and the exclusive T01 jargon.
BYE.
Edit: KEKEX, I'm surprised, people actually loved that whole chunk of text =D Thanks all. ^^

Lord I humbly offer this sacrifice to you. May you take the highest priority in my life. This which I hold dear to my heart, I give it to you. In return, I need your help to get me through this. Give me your strength, your joy, your peace to aid me. I don't know how things might work out, but I believe its all in your hands.
It's been almost a decade since I saw you. you know, suddenly I realized you don't mean as much as me anymore you're fading its all a maelstrom of emotions and i dunno if I shud let you go
I've got my new lease of life. new friends, new laughters, new aims new people to live for No more idle time, no more empty paths
A funnel for my emotions, you were on the smaller end. but now I've taken your place and the world's taken mine. it feels good.
you were nothing but a dream anyway but now, I see reality before me A unity, a group, a life I found the substance of my absence I found where I belonged
The chair I took, The chair from I fell, The smile you had My pain couldn't compare My best memory of you Crafted with silver, I'll leave it with you
So I'll cherish those times. And I'll cherish that smile. I'll cherish that bliss I felt whenever I thought of you I hope through my prayers, you felt that warmth in your heart May happiness be with you, as with my memories now I part. Goodbye LY.
My group went first because i had to rush off for a YEP project later. Was nervous like shitz. 2 videos and a quick ppt, with a fussy professional psychologist as a teacher. (Note: professional refers to psychologist, not teacher)
I started off the tech stuff 5 minutes early to test the audio. Lol, stupid windows media player was like trying to be cheeky or something. Either it played without me starting it or it was playing another video. The videos played I think 3 or 4 times? Hope fully Fred didn't mind.
Yea so we started off with the skit video. Hey, wasn't so bad after all. The class actually laughed a few times. Maybe I was too judgmental? My documentary up next. Pretty solemn, didnt really garner much I guess. Hopefully at least they were intrigued by the illusions.
OHOHOH HEY, THE AWARENESS TEST VID WAS SUPER COOL. Vid: "How many pasess does the team in white make?" *Vid plays* Vid: "Did you count 13?" Sarah, Vic: YES I COUNTED ALL 13 WOOHOO!!! Vid: "But, did you see the moonwalking bear?" Vic: OMG WHAT MOONWALKING BEAR. WHERE GOT? *Vid replays* *guy in bear suit strides/moonwalks across scene* Class laughs
=D yaaaaay. Although i bet Fred didnt care a hoot about that.
So yea, I gotta miss out the rest of the class' performances =/ Especially looking forward to 6Bores stuff. oh wells =/
But hey, YEP proj wasn't that too bad. (trying to console myself...) At least I got to gain more experience working with mentally disabled kids again. It was fun and a ity bity more bonding time with the YEP team. ALTHOUGH I LOVE MY CLASS MORE!
One thing that was hitched unto my mind was that, despite being mentally disabled, autistic, low IQ, whatsoever, the group that i worked with, the kids, they actually looked out for each other. They would call our for the one left behind, hold each other hands to keep the group together.
What about we as a society? Do we look out for ourselves? or even if not, do we look out for ourselves first? If mentally disabled kids are taught and able to live as such, what about we able-minded people?
WHAT THE OMG TIM TOLD ME I MISSED OUT A HECK LOTS OF FUN TODAY!!! FELLOW CLASS PRESENTATIONS, CLASS OUTING, 6BORES, WAT THE HECK DAM. LSEG.
I've been sleeping terribly late recently. Dam tired... Esp friday for doing up the CATS proposal. sleeping at 3, waking at 6.
