我不善于坚持，却很容易习惯。习惯每天清晨一起身就打开冰箱取出两片黑巧克力再加一杯黑咖啡，添饱肚子后才出门。闲暇时，不管是与友人还是独自一人，都一定会到书局逛一逛，再到精品咖啡店享用下午茶。稿纸没了， 头发长了，生病了，一定得跑一趟惯用/特定的地方处理这些琐碎的杂事。
都说我很容易习惯了。
习惯了的事，我很难也不愿妥协。所以我不打没把握的战。若不认为能顺顺利利地一直拥有，那我宁可不要开始。关键在于‘顺顺利利’这一词。对我而言，‘顺顺利利’的定义莫过于就算不小心失去了，也能在外头以负担得起的价格，轻易地填补回去。
也不知道自己是否与生俱来就缺乏热忱，还是后天的明白 - 明白自己不善于坚持 - 所以不敢让自己对没把握的事拥有热忱。
日子久了，不知不觉竟忘了什么叫感触。志气和感伤也不知在那儿的路边遗失了。我想这不是件好事吧。最近望着电脑荧光屏时，一点做正经事的自觉都没有。十时至深夜，一直打着Neopets的无聊游戏，灵魂放逐。脑子似因荒废过久，生锈了，麻木了，好像不懂得如何思考了，真叫人担心。
我也不明白导致现状的原因到底是自己的不坚持，还是近期的无谓。总是对他人说，别想太多，life is for living, not second-guessing...（对不起，我想了老半天，但还是翻译不过来，真抱歉！）但回头看了看自己的近况，突然惊觉，杞人虽然忧天，但过得应该比我充实吧！毕竟他有志气，懂得坚持，而最重要的是，他每分每秒都在思考呀！（笑）

月やあらぬ
春や昔の
春やらぬ
わが身ひとつは
もとの身にして？
[古今和歌集]
Moon, are you not the same?
Spring, can it be that you are not
The spring of old,
And I myself the only thing
Remaining as it used to be?
Do you like it? I do, really. I'm sorry, I don't really have anything too constructive to say nowadays - well at least nothing much worth spending bytes of server memory on... (grins) So I picked out a Japanese poem, which I thought was kinda cool instead. ;p
And yeah, my exams have ended!! (laughs) Holidays, we here go again!!!
pls: hilary duff is cute!
pls pls: and I haven't had my coffee yet... arghs!

你是《流星花园》中哪个角色?
F、西门。很有绅士风度的人，可以适应任何环境，从而找到适合自己的位置与角色。这样的你是异性眼中的焦点，经常会被异性的情书邀请围的水泄不通。就是因为这样，在爱情里，你不知道你喜欢什么样的人，也不确定到底什么样的人会是你的最爱。你一直在人与人之间周旋，想给自己找一个答案。这就像西门说的“女人的保质期只有一个礼拜”。虽然感情上的你很浪荡，但是对于朋友，你宁可两肋插刀。小妖建议：很多东西过了保质期却一样很好吃。
http://astro.sina.com.cn/t/2004-09-03/13011.shtml
太好玩了!哈哈，我真的很喜欢做这种问答题。但是，西门是那个那个朱孝天演的对吗？我还蛮喜欢他的角色的，但至于他真人的个性就有点不敢恭维了！哈哈！
谢谢铃木！嘻！

Just for remembrance sake: I've never done so much serious work in my life in such an intense/continuous span of time. In fact, I've only just gotten home 30 mins ago. Doesn't sound much, but you must remember I usually don't study much either and today I actually stepped out of the house at 0815 for this assignment...
Gosh, and now, I have an inane/unbelievably keen sense of translation skills... (grins)

 Bears are strong and independent creatures who roam in the forest in search of food. Bears are usually gentle, but anger one and be prepared for their full fury! You're tough -- a classic attribute of bears. Intelligent and resourceful, though lazy at times, you are a fascinating creature of the wild. You were almost a: Kitten or a DuckYou are least like a: Pony or a SquirrelWhat Cute Animal Are You?
Got this from Yvonne! Haha!!! Yay!!! I got my bear cub! Very very happy. Knew there was a point to my vast collection of teddy bears... Hohoho...
Oh, though I think I probably should be feeling somewhat insulted by the list of animals I'm most unlike (if there's such a word). I mean, the inevitable implication has rather got to be that, I'm, um, non-cute, springy and lively??! Oh darn... ;p

Bon Jovi is blasting at my ears (yeah fine, I admit, I belong to the 1980s era... haha!) and finally,
I'm done with the ylp work!! :)
(big lovely grin)
Hoho, life is good! Had a brilliant time out at the movies with Yvonne and SB earlier today too! Hee, really love wasting time with you guys while drinking Nestea at our usual canteen. Haha... (oops, forgot to say that Willy Wonka is really quite good too! hee!)
Well then, have a nice weekend everybody! :D

So. I’m sitting in front of the computer at the grand decent hour of 0417 staring at my darling Microsoft Word. And it’s not like semester has already started or anything like that. Ahha. The vagaries of life. Okay, fine, the vagaries of me then. (laughs)
Yeah well, not like I'm doing anything important. Unless, of course, you deem the following to be of any degree of importance:
1. Reading bloody synopsis of Gilmore Girls (season 4). Darn waste of time considering I’m so out of love with silly Rory and her Yale/blonde-boys concerns.
2. Staying awake so that my much-anticipated breakfast would seem more within reach than if I were to sleep at 0000hours.
3. Pushing back the inevitable, i.e. doing footnotes for darling ylp’s chapter on the extremely scintillating import and export regulations.
4. Having the vague idea that if I stay up late enough, I may be able to convince myself to go to the gym 5 hours later.
5. Ironed my clothes!! Woohoo!® Possibly the only important-able thing on this list. (You must understand, my mother severely dislikes me for never ever doing my share of the housework.)
6. Messaging my friend to let her know I’d meet her for cakes later in the afternoon. Well, granted, the cakes are very nice.
7. Attempting to put some order to my finances. Or the lackthereof really.
8. Letting the fuji apple I just consumed at 0316hours digest before I flopped belly down onto my bed.
And lastly, this – (before I cart myself to bed) the only really meaningful input in this entire entry (and but of course the one meaningful input in this entry has got to be a quote for someone else other than I – ahhaha!)
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." – Dalai Lama
This is what I mean when I say I do believe. I don’t know exactly what it’s called (or even if it has a name) but I guess you could call it kindness. (grins)

I haven’t written in a long while now, have I? (smiles) Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because there’s not much to tell anyway. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t been thinking much. Thinking seems the wrong word to say. Reflecting… introspecting then. Nowadays I’m actively against the idea of introspection. (laughs)
So. Why am I writing now? ‘Cause I’m presently seated in a big enough room in the firm all by myself. It’s the pupils’ room, see? Big enough for two. Well, usually there’s two of us anyway. But right now it’s just me in the spacious corner office, where in place of walls, I’ve got neat glass windows overlooking the tourist district of Tanjong Pagar. Woohoo. Sounds nice huh. Ha.
‘Tis nice really. Very nice. When I’m here, I’m more or less in a world of my own. Nope, I didn’t think of that cliché phrase myself, k? It was the associates who love using “world of your own” to describe this place.
And I realised I’m perfectly happy staying in a large corner office all by myself, only venturing out to the main office couple of times a day. Gosh. I’m really outright anti-social. I’m no good with people nowadays. Seriously. No. Good.
Happiness. Right now.
But what about later? There are lots of people who have been kind to me outside. You may say it doesn’t matter. But it does. They didn’t need to be nice to me. I’m not particularly nice-inducing a person, you know? I don’t idle chat; I don’t look up – not unless you call my name and hence force me to; I don’t smile to people whom I should – though I do smile plenty at people whom I needn’t. But I want to, you see? I only want to smile at people whom I needn’t. Those whom I should, I refuse. ‘Cause I don’t want to.
And I dread the day when I have to. Smile at people because I should though I don’t want to.
You’re right, really. I don’t want to grow up. I’m not grown up. Not at all. I can’t function the way grown ups do. Don’t just put it down to denial. I’m not, really. I’m not denying I ought to be grown up; I can’t attain the status of grown up.
Gawd. What sort of conversation is this, really? Hoho.
If I ever do grow up, I hope I’d be a kind person grown up. I really really do.

It was well and good doing this test. I was happily laughing at my 1st trait: I do not lack for fashion sense?! You've gonna be kidding... Oh, and then hoho, 'cause I guess this really brings out the shallowness in me huh...
Then absolutely nothing went on in my mind... till I switched back to Yvonne's and LY's quiz results to compare. ...
And it was like Ohmygawd... Where's my wealthy/ambitious trait? Argh! You mean it's ranked 8th?! Out of a bloody ten?? Ohmyholygoodness, I'm sooo screwed... Trails off to contemplate how she's gonna sustain her wants and needs in the future. Drats.
On a sidenote: Today's the day of my Diana Krall's concert! Awww shucks, I hate this... If I don't (and yes, I'm not.) make it for her concert today, I'd probably have to wait another 2 more years or something... drats drats drats.
Your dating personality profile:
Stylish - You do not lack for fashion sense. Style matters. You wouldn't want to be seen with someone who doesn't care about her appearance.
Funny - You laugh often. People never accuse you of lacking a sense of humor. You don't take yourself too seriously.
Adventurous - Just sitting around the house is not something that appeals to you. You love to be out trying new things and really experiencing life. | Your date match profile:

Funny - You consider a good sense of humor a major necessity in a date. If her jokes make you laugh, she has won your heart.

It’s 9.27 in the morning and I’m still in my favourite bathrobe (er yes, but of course it’s one of those hotel freebies; those are the best kind, don’t you think?) (laughs). I'm in a really good mood and the hi-fi is blasting Diana Krall way too loud for anything really serious to get into my brains. (yawns) I really should get my ass up and complete this stack of notes before clocking in at school later.
But I’m not. Getting my ass up, I mean.
Ah hell. I’d be fine. Doing last minute desperate work really is my forte anyway.
(yawns, sloths off and wonders what on earth is wrong with the hotmail server today anyway?)

Thursday 24.3.2005
9pm: Mad jiggle round the house. Slipped on shoes and stepped out of the house. Felt weirdly proud when proceeding to ensure that door to apartment was properly locked.
9.30pm: Popped by the hypermart to get 1.5l bottle of Coke Light, then made a mad dash up to the 3rd storey of the mall for the bookstore. Oh good! Store not closed yet. Grabbed a trashy novel, paid for it and got accosted by a lady from some beauty salon outside the store. She asked if I were 21. Oh no! Do I really look that old when I tie up my hair? Drats. Disclaimer: I may be 21, but usually I always look 19, k!
10.30pm: Washed the dirty dishes, dumped the garbage and sat down in front of tv to enjoy my book. Oh goody! The free horoscope bookmark (comes with the novel) is finally for Geminis! Yay! Am inordinately pleased after all the Caparicon/Scorpio bookmarks I got. Hoho!
2am: Slept. Oh right, set my alarm clock for 6.50am. Need to wake up earlier to send my friend off at the airport.
Friday 25.3.2005
6.50am: Woke up all groggy and very extremely disoriented. Gosh, I really must be getting old. Good, just nice for my appointment later!
(2 minutes later)
7.52am: Ohmygod!! You mean it’s 7 and not 6??!! Panics and freaks. Brushed teeth and got dressed in record time. Dumped keys, wallet and phone into bag and out the door I go! Late late late!
8.02am: Lock the door, lock the door!
8.03am: Frenzied 800m sprint to the train station. No joke. All the uneven terrain and all. Comon, I have to go through at least one overhead bridge, k! While huffing and puffing up the stairs, decided I’m really too old for this sort of thing.
9.05am: Reached the airport. Woohoo! I am good!! No kidding, really. I live right on the other side of the country, k? Granted it’s a really small country, but still! I took public transport! (definition of public transport: all vehicles except private cars and cabs)
Had a brilliant time with my friends at the airport. Great food and really cute traditional teahouses nowadays! Sigh... I wanna fly off somewhere too!
Lovely day all in all. Managed to watch the last few episodes of the last season of Sex and the City too. Really ought to hurry with my schoolwork though. Oh drats, I’d think about that later.

It’s one in the morning and I’m sitting in front of the computer, typing this entry in Lucida Handwriting font. It’s seems appropriate somehow, given that I’m drinking Twinings peppermint tea. I meant to get London Tea Company, but amazingly, it appears the hypermart doesn’t stock it.
Now what was I planning to complain about? Oh yeah, I remember now. Kinda hard to overlook it, considering that the source of my frustration is pretty much littered around me.
Yeah, you guessed it. I have way too much stuff in my house now. Way too many carton boxes, shoe boxes, dirty overnighters, unironed/ to be ironed clothes, small bags too worn and dirty to be brought out, junk food, cds, vcds, dvds… And the list goes on. Things I don’t have: a fully functioning computer, any form of functional laptop, a non-flickering TV set (ok, fine, I do have one of those, but it has been delegated to the storeroom and replaced by a semi-huge and expensive one which flickers. The second adjective used to describe the replacement also explains why I can’t go back to using the original.). And of course, most importantly, I’d like a broom please. Yeah, you heard correctly. A broom. Just a normal kind, not a Firebolt, or any of that sort. The type you use to sweep dust and miscellaneous stuff up with. I need a broom.
Can’t find one.
I’ve got five thousand and one types of coffee, coffee maker, tea, trays, saucers, cups, stirrers, everything. No broom though.
Oh and by the way, I haven’t read a single word of my notes, not once since the start of school semester two weeks back. And I’ve still got to tidy up the remnants of the Korean study trip. Regardless, I’ve got to say it was plenty satisfying now that it’s over. I’m glad we made it through and, quite darn good too! Finally, a use of the exclamation mark in my entry.
What do people do with bags too dirty to regain their colour regardless of washing anyway? While I’m at it, what do people do with clothes they sincerely don’t think they’d wear but cost too much to throw away without feeling bad? And why do I always wear the same stuff and use the same accessories when clearly, I’ve got more than a wardrobe full of stuff? Yeah, the stuff has overflowed to three wardrobes full, covered the queen sized bed (er, sorry Sis!), taken up bulk of the floor space in front of my cabinet, and some presently languishing under the moonlight on my balcony.
‘Cause they’d either ugly (i.e. my eldest sis’ stuff), too office wear (i.e. the passable stuff from my eldest sis’ stuff), too small (but very nice – from my second sis), not summer season (but once again very nice – from my second sis), not of slimming effect. Sigh. What happened to a neat and tidy life?
We need a warehouse.
Failing which, could we acquire a city view studio apartment please?

You are a RAVENCLAW!
As a Ravenclaw and as an NTP, you are intellectual,
independent, and value excellence in yourself
and in those around you. You have a strong
sense of curiosity, and in general can see many
aspects of a single issue or debate. You have
a strong drive to acquire knowledge and set
very high standards for yourself and those
around you. You enjoy being challenged, and
can accept constructive criticism without
taking it personally. You are probably at
least somewhat unconventional, and will not
usually follow authority for its own sake;
instead, you will consider the issue at hand
and make a decision for yourself.
