Why not both?!

Bane of my life...

Was asking Zongrui if I should drink a beer or go for a run. That was 2am. I decided on a beer. 

But that sinful means of combatting insomnia failed. 

So here I am. 7:51 in the morning. Came back from a 3km run in the nice cooling weather of a cloudy Labour Day morning; bathed; and lying on my bed after planning my study schedule for the next 48 hours, comprising 3 papers. 

Ah you mischievous insomnia, the bane of my life! 

Exam weak

Show off

It's been long since my Rhapsodizes are what they we're meant to be... But here we go!

Freaking awesome day where I felt a great sense of accomplishment. Woke up with "Breakfast in Bed" before heading down to CLB for pre-departure brief (though one saddening thing is that I still don't know who's heading to Stockholm University with me...); went to find the "Central Library Gang" for lunch before going back hall to pack for the adventures to come. 

Went down to TTSH to get my blood drawn for test; called Citibank to get my annual fee waived; and stumbled on a POSB branch where I begged the teller to give me my financial standing letter by today instead of the usual 1-working day later. And... (though my persuasion skills aren't the best around, my aunty-killing skills still kinda worked its charm) I got it! 

"Finally can settle the residence permit shit," or so Jason thought. Little did he know he would have one more surprise waiting for him... 

Seeing that there's still ample time, I took a bus towards Hougang Mall instead of home, and did what I wanted for quite long but didn't have the time to do:

I CUT MY HAIR!!! This looks really familiar isn't it? Wahahahah. Reservist all over again. But only for Le Girlfriend to lament the roundness and greatness (I refuse to say "bigness"!) of my face -.-

Anyway, yup, I reached home for this shot to be taken. Wanted to see if my Le Noir tickets were here (no prize for guessing that the amazing Jason has once again won another Facebook sharing contest and got another free ticket, this time round for Le Noir ^^) but it was an expected disappointment. But noooooooo, that's not the end of the letter-box scene... There's this NUS letterhead envelop that lied inconspicuously on my shelves having being opened up by my dad few days ago. Hi and behigh, that's one mother-freaking important document from NUS for my application for Swedish residence permit!

PS: First dinner at home after so long!!! Home-cooked food, no matter how simple, is always the best... Probably gonna miss it a lot when I'm gone for a good 5-6 months

So here I am happily typing on my way back to hall for a meeting (oh! And meeting my sister at the traffic light junction, where I was hesitating if I should cross!). But yep, amazing journey in the middle of reading week (of course, not as amazing as those that WENT OVERSEAS during this one week "break"!) 

Study? Like how a certain parody of a song goes, "fuck it all, fuck it all~"

Before I end, Einsteins, BIATCHES 

P.S: (Updated 26/05/14 3.14AM) Submitted my application for a residence permit in Sweden and paid the freaking SEK1000! Runaway!~

With vision this poor, I should probably do LASIK

This thingy is inaccurate at best, but look, I'm gonna be a “大”人物！ 

Behind

And for all the next three posts (on reverse order cos of how Blogspot arranges the posts)

This is the reason. 

Soon, I'm gonna leave the posts I've held

Soon, I'm gonna leave everything behind

Soon, I'm gonna leave...

I'm really so so happy. Not because I'm going for a holiday; not because I'm gonna be grade-free for the next sem; not because this is gonna be a sponsored trip; not because I'm having the freedom for the next few months to be alone. Actually, kinda. 

I'm happy because I'm really doing something I've never thought I could muster. I've never thought I could leave and be alone. 

Alone, is just this something that I always shun. But now I'm suddenly not afraid of that prospect. I'm really kinda impressed by myself this time round. Or maybe I shouldn't be until I really survive the few months there. 

Who cares... Yay!

Reminder (3)

And yes! Coming from our rival hall's sports director. What else is more satisfying than being appreciated for what we are fighting for. And in this special case, we happen to be fighting for the same thing, yet (or perhaps, "thus") appreciating who we call "enemy" 

True champions are not won, they are fought 

Reminder (2)

I kinda deleted the thank you message that you've sent me but yep, I remember my reply: you're worth more than what I've put into words. 

Though you're the senior, as your captain, I really believe you will go very far. Somewhere, anywhere, I dunno; but far

It's my honour 

Reminder

It took me a little extra effort to get this printed; and probably cost me some class participation points for not doing my readings. But even when everyone pointed their fingers at me to do this at my busiest moments, I'm willing. 

Sometimes certain things you do in life, no matter how small; how insignificant to you yourself; or how troublesome, they may just go a long way in someone else's life. 

Thank you, all of you.

Some call it a hostel, we call it old

Really owe the few people in my team to make this event a success. Couldn't have asked for more! 

The Lan Family

First, and probably my last...

Second, but definitely well-deserved 

And indeed, the best group of people in hall! 

PK lo

My ex; my classmates; my cliques' girls...

Everyone's graduating. 

Unpleasant, no matter

Something new is expecting me... Something exciting. 

And I have to leave my best behind 

Because, wait-for-it

Coolios, and I'm not surprised it's from Russia hahahah

HIMYM

is really just, How I Met Tracy,
or rather, How I Met Your Aunt Robin

I think it was a really nice ending and I might just watch it again... so I really don't understand why would people think it sucks!

Every team a story

//Ya lor, I like the "at least I don't Dui Bu Qi myself can alr" part... 

like you all throw comms to me I also just take. You all say I distribute it away I also just listen. Only Waihing help PAB and Mayer help STAR Awards, then others also I tank. How many new comms I took this year you all tell me. If you all think it's legit to add PAB, 25th Anni, STAR awards, and the new Temasek Day to one person on top of his original portfolio then I have nothing to say. Yea, VP do nothing. I like that idea... And I kept apologizing to Waihing when I ask her to help me cos SORRY to disappoint you all I NEED to study. 

I'm sorry I took it to heart cos I kena kaobei-ed and I damn buaysong. And I buay song quite long liao. Now same topic let me kaobei abit. Whoa like tongue twister. But ya. Can ignore me liao. 

And yes, at least I Dui De Qi myself; I went ahead with whatever initiatives I wanna make and I feel good even if you guys think I zo bo lan. 

And Sam, don't let this happen to your JCRC//

Go. Fuck. Yourselves.
