A Pocketful of Sunshine

Sunday, May 29, 2005

woke up at 10 plus today & i went to get my hair cut.
came out looking more refreshed with just 7 bucks.
went to get my contacts after that -- the new O2 Optics.
realised that i was a little brooding today. i was feeling kinda worried.
cos' it'll be my first day of sch in nyp tmr.
what if i got lost? haha :) the campus is huge!!!

for those of you who still don't know, i'm taking a Diploma in Multimedia and Infocomm.
i'm not much of an IT person plus i don't look like one.
sometimes, there're just too many detours in life. if ya know what i mean...
hopefully, i'll still get to pursue my passion 3 yrs ltr.
i don't exactly like this course but i don't hate it either.
some modules (like digital media & design) are interesting but some are not (electronics fundamental?!?).
and then there's java programming, i'm totally clueless abt this.
hopefully, a smart alec like me will be able to grasp the whole concept of all these and breeze through this course.
i seriously think that i can do it cos' it's all abt practice, practice and more practice. so, prastice i will!!! no more procasination :)

meeting my poly friends before lecture tmr...
so that those blessed with a good sense of direction can guide the rest of us little lost souls to the right lecture room, with no mishaps along the way.

frm tmr onwards, i'll have to end my late-night affair with my TV & com. :(
all for the sake of staying wide awake during lectures the following day.
for the long haul, these small sacrifices will reap huge results :)

baby sis leaving for Outward Bound tmr.
she'll be gone for 6 days and will only be back this sat.
this might sound strange, but i think that i'm going to miss her endless rantings for a whole week.
this hse will feel quiet w/o her arnd.

had to go back to sjc to collect o level cert. i could have asked my sis to do it for me.
anyway, i went back to sjc with mei ni and wai yan today.
and i can tell you that sjc is getting more & more ridiculous...
can you imagine? there were two security guards stationed near the sch gates.
like what does this means? the students need to be protected? or to be protected frm? i think the sch is turing into a prison.
i felt so out of my element. there was no sense of belonging or warmth at all cos' i didn't see any familiar faces arnd. the only thing that was left were lingering traces of fond memories.
moreover, it was PTM day today. so there were very little pple arnd.
only saw mrs angelina tan and mr chan.

left for town after that. ended up eating at Coffee Club for lunch with yin teng, priya & wai yan.
today was like offically the last day of sch for the sec and jc students etc.
so you could bump into everybody who's anybody in town.
there were lots of saints and cj peeps arnd.
priya (this lucky gal is going to Paris during the June hols) was adapting this stupid habit of checking out the jc uniforms & commenting on them. haha :) wai yan (this other lucky gal is going to Shanghai for the june hols) and i (this poor gal'll be mugging during the june hols) chipped in our two cents worth. so we're equally guilty.

we bumped into charlene chee at Heeren. said hi and stuff. it was pretty awkward actually. haha :)
then, we met shuen chuan at 1730 hrs & priya (trust us, you did slimmed dwn) went home while the rest of us headed to NYDC at Wheelock Place.
watched sc devoured a sandwich while i had a Lemon Shiver and waiyan, the oreo gal had an Oreo Obessesion.

bumped into vanessa, zilei and socks with one or two guys at shaw. boy! socks still had sucha LOUD VOICE! i think the whole mall now know that my name is samantha :) it feels gd to know that some things just doesn't change! she's still her usual self, so endearing la! and she found out that i've the photo in which she looked damn funny in. zilei said that i became fairer! shoots! think i've to go sailing with daddy again. socks said i've changed. but is it for the better or for the worse? haha :)

in the end, sc (gal, cheer up k? know that we'll be there for you no matter what!) got a top at Samuel & Kevin and we went home. bumped into charlene again near Tangs.

now, i'm here with aching feet & my tired butt planted right in front of the com, blogging! looking forward to spend time with xian at CSC tmr.

TO ALL JC STUDENTS! STOP RUBBING IT IN THAT WE POLY STUDENTS DON'T HAVE JUNE HOLS! COME ON, BE TACTFUL LA! haha :)

xian, come on la! is this template so unlike me?
i really need some dosage of bad boys now and then.

went back to nyp this afternoon to get my lecture notes.
i love MIT0505 so much! :)
to think that i thought i'll be a LONER for the rest of my poly life -- with no friends and no one to tide me through, i'll just be PLAIN OLD PATHETIC LONELY SAM!
but hey, that's not the case! too bad for those of you who totally hate me (not that there's anyone like that that i know of) ?!? haha =p

damn, i rattling off like some idiot!

and a BIG THANKEW to BREN who described me as crazyandfunbutseriouswhenneedbe in one word!
yeah, that's one word! :)

Rooster

Staring At The Sun

Daylight on my shoulder

Makes me feel alive

You kept me standing in your shadow

And it's a cold cold place to hide

I'm running away from this messed up place

I'm breaking free, yeah yeah

I'm tired of staring at the sun

Can't stand the way you burn my eyes so I can't see

Stealing every breath I breathe

You push me into overdrive

And I don't need this kind of light cos' now I'm done

You took everything while I was staring at the sun

I know you won't let me

But just turn and walk away

I'm tired of when you kick me around

Trying to kill my dreams and break me down

But I won't hang around

I'm running away from this messed up place

I'm breaking free, yeah yeah

I'm tired of staring at the sun

Can't stand the way you burn my eyes so I can't see

Stealing every breath I breathe

You push me into overdrive

And I don't need this kind of light cos' now I'm done

You took everything while I was staring at the sun

I was staring at the sun

Daylight on my shoulder

I know its time to run

Yes I know its time to run

I'm tired of staring at the sun

Can't stand the way you burn my eyes so I can't see

Stealing every breath I breathe (stealing every breath I breathe)

You push me into overdrive

And I don't need this kind of light cos' now I'm done

You took everything while I was staring at the sun

Yeah, yeah staring at the sun

You took everything while I was staring at the sun
