as the date today is so special i reckon i should post something here. just so the date gets embedded in my blog forever. haha.
i made a huge discovery yesterday. i changed my specs yesterday. my old specs lens were terribly scratched and the coating on top was totally gone. well can't blame it cause i've wore it for 3 years already. but main thing is after i've put on my new specs, the world became so much clearer suddenly. colours seem brighter. but that was when it hit me that the world is actually not as pretty as what i thought it was. the corridor concrete floor was full of patches. the road was not smooth grey but ugly patchy grey. my hair was uneven streaks of brown. even my complexion was ugly patchy. haha. suddenly i wasn't as pretty as i thought i was before anymore. haha.
should things be a smooth uniform colour to be nice? is patchy nice then? i keep wondering the whole day.
i looked at walls, sky, people's faces for some conclusion. haha. patchy is nice if it's so to show tone and shadow. patchy is not nice if it's random. haha. suddenly the world is ugly from just a mere change of specs.
so come on, tell me.

the principles of being glam.
i must have told many people the reason why i don't post photos of me canoeing cause those photos just look absolutely unglam. haha. like really who actually look glam while trying their best to keep in direction, putting all that they've got for the final burst (that's where most of the photos are taken anyway), breathing and looking forward and counting at the same time, with their muscles all flexed cause they are, well, working out, and trying their desperate best not to capsize and be even more unglam for capsizing at the end line. haha. ok maybe it's just me cause i realise everyone else has glam shots of them on the canoe but i have none! haha.
so just for the record i'm gonna post a shot of me and my orange raptor.
i didn't say i was gonna be on the boat. haha. this a better footage ok! i only portage once per year and here it is already. haha.
ah. wonder how is nus canoe team doing now. kinda feels weird being a soon-to-be-laolao. haha.
so come on, tell me.

love song.
"Head under water, And they tell me to breathe easy for a while. The breathing gets harder, even I know that.
You made room for me but it’s too soon to see, If I’m happy in your hands. I’m unusually hard to hold on to. Blank stares at blank pages. No easy way to say this. You mean well, but you make this hard on me.
I'm not gonna write you a love song, 'Cause you asked for it, 'Cause you need one, you see. I'm not gonna write you a love song, 'Cause you tell me it's, Make or breaking this. If you’re on your way, I'm not gonna write you to stay. If all you have is leaving, I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today. Today.
I learned the hard way, That they all say things you want to hear. My heavy heart sinks deep down under you, And your twisted words, your help just hurts. You are not what I thought you were. Hello to high and dry.
Convinced me to please you. Made me think that I need this too. I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.
Promise me you'll leave the light on, To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone. 'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say,
I won't write you a love song, 'Cause you asked for it, 'Cause you need one you see. I'm not gonna write you a love song, 'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this. Is that why you wanted a love song, 'Cause you asked for it, 'Cause you need one you see. I’m not gonna write you a love song, 'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this. If you’re on your way, I’m not gonna write you to stay. If your heart is nowhere in it, I don’t want it for a minute. Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to, Write you a love song today. Today."

pool addiction.
i'm addicted to pool. haha. i've played for 2 days consecutively already. maybe you can't call THAT an addiction yet but i just can't stop myself thinking of opportunities to drag friends to the pool table. haha.
after interim was over i practically played like there was no tomorrow and didn't do any work for 1 whole day. "it was as if we're not taking riba," said chuan dian.
"those who fails e most becomes e best." i typed that during an msn conversation. can't believe it but sometimes i find myself impressively philosophical. wahaha! self praise is no praise so let's not resign. design! (everybody loves jokes from the queen of bad jokes.)
