thursday... it's been a busy day... and i'm both :) and :( at the same time...

11:45 ~ desperately pacing at the bus stop in the middle of nowhere waiting for bus 139. it was a good half hour before the single decker came and saved my day, just when i thought the service might've stopped operating for the day. i mean, when each of the other hundred buses at the stop pulled in for like 10 times and my bus was still "on the way", it could feel really hopeless =)

11:11 ~ we left Starbucks... it seems to have become our favourite place to hang out after dinner. two of us will be flying to Japan during the december break. Fel'll be in S'pore and me going home for a while (i hope so). we planned to go Bali for the holidays, but the tour package turned out to be really expensive so yeah.

9:15 ~ the nice restaurant Brian wanted us to dine at closed at 10. so we headed to the food court. our first time gathering at Novena Square together, and Richard's first =) the food ain't cool, but the company mattered more. we had lots of jokes... i wonder what i would do with half of my time if these people were not there =)

8:15 ~ mission accomplished at Mt Sinai Crescent =) i wanna get a good house to take care of my good home some day. and i will =) oh yeah, thanks lots Hianliang :)

7:15 ~ walking like running to Plaza Singapura...

7:00 ~ BGS class ended 15 minutes late. of all days the prof must have it that way today, when i was rushing through everything. okay i think the Wharton guy should shoulder part of the blame too, cuz he was speaking to us on Trust and Diversity. it totally captivated me. i mean the topic, not the Wharton fellow. just that me and Li Zhen didn't feel that he did a good job.

Background information: Havard's Robert Putnam research shows that "higher levels of ethnic diversity in a community lead to lower levels of trust between its members". yeah, trust's become an important point of debate today, everyone who's aware of Islamic extremism knows that. but i doubt that anyone actually asks themselves about the link between diversity and distrust. i didn't, until today. it's a reason why i feel that we all conform to whatever that happens to, or rather is imposed upon, us...

why must we go to school? to get a job? why must we read whatever that we're reading? for school? to me they're kind of pathetic answers :)

3:00 ~ frantically scanning through my readings for BGS class... i brought the wrong materials for today's session and had to photocopy like 20 pages after lunch. ended up reading only 2 of them o_O

12:00 ~ i realized i missed my economics math class. wasn't feeling too well when i woke up at about 8am so i decided to just lie there and the next thing i knew was 12pm... i rushed to school of course, feeling fresher than any time the past weeks cuz of the 12 hours of sleep. thank you Xin Yi :)

anyway, it's 1:15am on Friday now :) i'm gonna have to write an appeal letter to the MOE for late return of the deed. thanks Mom, for getting it signed real quick, though you just came back from your rare holiday trip.

Tuan feels happy he managed to get what he wanna give to his pretty young thing. He feels happy that the gang's good. he feels happy that he's gonna get his laptop soon.

Tuan feels sad... he doesn't know why he's a university student. he doesn't know what he's doing here... he knows he mustn't let what's been happening happen in the first place... and Tuan feels sad as a friend's troubled in love.

For a good day to come... =)
