I remember getting one of these from my penpal (by snail mail, mind you, all the way from Europe) years ago. Now, I still have no inkling of what it's truly for; give you pleasant dreams, take away the nightmares, or simply for you to remember the subconscious drifting? You tell me.
Anyway, found some rather lovely quote online by D.H Lawrence. Finally something he says that makes sense to me!
Oops, which reminds me. Lit essay which was due last week and not yet handed up. uh-oh. Lit tutorials are getting incredibly dull.
Ms Chua: Class, am I going too fast?
Val(whispers): No, she's going too boring
on the other hand, CHICAGO was wicked. What can I say, I love cabaret. Full update next time! For now, it's time to surf into dreams :)

She left him shimmering
Search for your inner rockstar,
climb trees and make the world your own
Hey girl,
you make it seem so easy,
taking life and slipping it into her pocket,
so they march hand in hand.
Go and make sparks
fairy dust,
on cold spring grass
Tangle of clean-cut boys
oh and the girl with their summer dresses,
stockings and tattered jeans.
Hey,
what are you waiting for?

Mondays are such a trail to get up to. So procrastination was a suitable companion on a very lazy weekend; two lit essays and a CSE outline went undone, plus delibrate effort to ignore upcoming math C.A. Also, the entire family had the ill-luck of catching the flu on Saturday night. I had worse luck because the flu turned out to be a 24-hour bug, which meant school as per usual today! Drats.
Still it hasn't been all dull.
Here's to good, clean wholesome fun to NLCC Family Day! Oh hey!
Kenny's birthday at Swensens and Clare's 18th Surprise party a little over a week ago. Stalling is not my best ability. Lead a rather bemused Clare around like an aimless sheep till she got all huffy about going to Marche two hours late and... hola! SURPRISE!
Happy bithday to Rach too, where Clare and I were almost late as we squeezed the massive cupcake balloon out of Clare's mom's van thingy and it popped anyway. Go mommy!
eating healthy veggies. Hey, friday is vegan day!
loved the lightning in the photos.
Somehow by the end of the night, we always have one of these. Why nat, why!
Had a pretty crazy journey on the circle line, actually, it almost felt like a journey across the earth. 18 people, lest restless younger youth who slid down empty MRT stair rails and hollered across ticketing booths.
Still, we made it! hurrah!
Day 10 of the doodle diary. Nicholas Glascow tore a page out 'by accident' he says, but I know its just to get back at me for ignoring him the whole lesson. Irritant! None the less, Math Prep Hours was pretty okay cause we listened to brit bands all night and sand while Kieran mercilessly dissed the Wombats, Passion Pit, Phoenix, the like. Sigh.
CHICAGO tomorrow! Have been waiting for this for months! Unfortch, it's a likely possibility that I'll be wearing school U to such a glam event, courtesy of music ministry rehearsals and lit evening meetings. Double yuck.
Ah Math C.A. Abhor JC life vehemently.
To end on a brighter note...
uMama Warm?! Seriously, what bizarre contraption and product name will they come up with next? Great way to put people off a marginally-sellable massage machine.

There's got to be more to life
20/4/2010; A day of digging into old novels, music recording, art and a little photography.
Although slightly spoiled by the endless queues at one of the lesser-known polyclinics and the searing hot sun at tennis matches, I do wish everyday could be somewhat like today :) Shaved ice with the girls, dinner with the family and acoustic tunes with the band after. And this is why the occasional skive is, and will always be, good for the soul.
The doodle diary project has been progressing so far! Something to do whilst the endless minutes tick away at school. Which I am pretty close to giving up due to its utter uselessness.
Will do a picture update on everything that's been happening soon. Sleep and a bedtime read awaits.
Tralalalalah.

I eat ice-cream for breakfast
Have been obsessed with this duo since a couple days back. And since people have been asking me why I haven't been putting in contacts the past couple weeks/months, this is the answer to whyyyy!
Love it when they dress as Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn! Everything is lovely! Brooke White from AI7 is the blondie.
Find out more from http://thegirlswithglasses.com/
Some shots from History night last Friday! It was brilliant. Our class won overall (i think) and got 20 free GV movie passes!
Teehee I couldn't resist. Not when the the Gray Blazer walks in.
Barney Stinson suits up. Kieran's dream!
And Nick's party after. Kieran's cool crib, stealing cupcake ribbons and warm beer, fail at pool. Happy birthday!
Today the lads had NAFA. Rather exciting event! Hope everyone who didn't pass this time will do so next week!
And there is this ridiculous CCA rubbish on Friday which I don't want to go for. But PW results! Despise these little important decisions life makes us choose.
Hopelessly behind in math. There are bigger things in life, just so you know guys.

Go. Do.
Dusty snapshots of corner cafes. A flurry of feathers. Music so simple, it's magic.
Go sing, too loud
Make your voice break- Sing it out
Go scream, do shout
Make an earthquake...
You wish fire would die and turn colder
You wish, your young, could see you grow older
We should always know that we can do anything
Go drum, too proud
Make your hands ache - Play it out
Go march through a crowd
Make your day break...
You wish silence released noise in tremors
You wish, I know it, surrender to summers
We should always know that we can do everything
Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, fall into landslide
Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, give into low tide
Go do
Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake - Let it flow
Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break - Let them grow
Let them grow (Endless summers)
Let them grow (Endless summers)
(Go do endless summers)
You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under
You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under
We should always know that we can do everything.

If you've got an impulse, let it out
This is the time
to be airborne in lofty dreams.
For warm kisses
and poet's triumph,
Summer.
This is the time
for lawns and lemonade.
Lazy ideas
and grass scent,
Summer.
Today is the day,
No time for laters,
next years, maybes.
Cause you know
if I had to pick a day
it'll be now dear,
spent in Summer heat.
