mood sleepy


Done deal

Tomorrow I am going to print two copies of my 56 pages thesis (including references) and submit them. Yayness. JOY TO THE WORLD! Ok, not that I have been fussing over it for the past week or so after submission of the first draft, but still. The less things I have in my hands the better. Four years of this academic toiling has worn down my perfectionist side a little bit. No longer spending the days aligning tables and adjusting fonts. JUST GET IT OFF ME!

Yippeyay! :)

mood tired


I feel pooey. Literally.

Elmo had diarrhoea this afternoon. So other than cleaning up all the crap around the house, I bathed her, did a major cage spring-cleaning, and scrubbed the bottom grill which has shit stuck all over it. Did I mention that bathing her involves sticking my hand to her pooey ass?

Why do I have the nagging feeling that next time when I change my kid's crappy diaper for the very first time, I am going to think, BOY have I done this before.

For her sake and mine, I hope she is better now :)

mood bewildered


Harsh?

I do not understand why some people like to walk in circles. My take on things is very simple. Be truthful, tell things the way they are, and for God's sake stop overdramatizing things. Do a head check once in a while, it helps.

But that's just me.

On another note, Thailand backpacking trip planning has finally seen a decent headstart. Aaaahhh I cannot wait!

mood caffeinated


My canvas needs some paint

According to my dictionary, the definition of inertia is like being squashed by a thousand elephants. And metaphorically speaking, that is how I am feeling now.

I don't normally whine. But CAN I JUST WHINE?? I have a report to finish, and I don't feel like doing it. I just had an epiphany. Sometimes, laziness does not need justification of any sorts. I'm feeling lazy today, just because. And I don't think I am going to do anything about it. Life is too short to fill it with pretentious emotions. I am a perfectionist over-achiever who has pride the size of Eiffel tower. I happen to be really lazy at heart. And there is nothing wrong with it.

In fact, I was SO lazy that instead of getting started on my work, I just spent the past an hour and a half doing shit and reading back my past blog entries. I know this sounds a little self-absorbed and stupid but I was suddenly enthralled with my life! I mean, all the travelling escapades which came and went, the excitement, and the colourful emotions which are sorely lacking at the present. And then there were the good moments, the love and everything else that came with it.

If my life is a black canvas, all those moments would be the pretty fluorescent streaks. So I guess sometimes we just gotta wait, and soon enough the colours will come.

On another note, yesterday I bought another pair of pumps. Pretty checkered ballet flats from zara which was on sale!

Epiphany number two: There is only so much self-control one can inflict upon oneself and to attempt more would be foolish.

Hello, how are you?


I'm not dead yet.

But I feel so sorry for the people around me who periodically ask, so how's things? Because I could have jolly well played a tape so I could save myself the trouble of reiterating how BORING my life is at this very moment.

Umm.. busy.. rushing my thesis and lab reports and presentations and assignments.

By some sort of divine sympathy, I somehow managed to walk into this zen consciousness. Like that opening scene from Mr. Bean, when he dropped from the sky and into this little spotlight area. It's pretty cool. In a whoa kind of way.

So. I'm not complaining. I can actually do this, you know. I just need some peace and quiet. Peace and quiet meaning no emotional disturbance and no arguments kind of quiet. Not total alienation kind of quiet.

I am dying to finish everything so that I can start planning my backpacking trip proper.

mood not good


One's gotta do what one's gotta do

I'm all but TWO MONTHS, 6 lab reports, 1 thesis, 3 presentations, 1 project write-up and 3 exams away from freaking graduating. And 22 episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

Why is life so hard? :(

BREATHE IN...

BREATHE OUT...
