Meep?

A’right, finally done with one midterm exam. One which I studied extremely hard for - so I hope the results will pay off in the end.

I am after all, grade conscious. Make that extremely grade conscious.

Anyway, the purpose of this entry is to pimp my new design on Brendalogy.Net. (Maybe not quite, since I’m rambling about other matters here as well but … you get the point.)

It was designed during one of my classes - yesh, bad, bad me - when I somewhat lost interest halfway in what the professor was yammering on about. So, it gave me an excellent opportunity to practise illustrations and design elements on my tablet. ;)

I’ve plenty of other stuff to do for the next few days, despite the fact that it is supposed to be my one-week long midterm break at this moment. Yet, I have to come back on the first day of my break for an exam (today), not to mention another one at the end of the midterm break - next week, to be exact.

It goes against the rationale of having a midterm break in the very first place, and completely shatters the concept of a ‘break’. Huh? Break?!? What break?

One more paper to study for.

One (half-completed) assignment.

One (barely started) report.

Plus, even more coding for my FYP.

All these, on top of having to cope with yet another relapse which took place the past couple of days - which leaves me practically no time for anything else.

So, apologies if updates are few and far between over the past few days (and for the coming week). And if you don’t see me lurking around your blogs as of late, it’s because of the same reason as well.

Le sighhhhhhh.

Butt’ in the middle of nowhere.

Mum and I were at Bedok Central just a night ago when we spotted a little boy peeing in a small grass patch near the parade square with the aid of his mum (she was helping to hold his pants while her little dude had his pee).

And the little dude’s butt was visible to the whole world.

Okay, I exaggerate - it was completely visible to whoever was milling around the parade square at least.

It’s nice to be young and ignorant, without a single inhibition about showing off your privates in public. But it would be nice if the mum at least decided to let her little fountain of a kid have his leak somewhere else more secluded, instead of in the middle of a wide open space in full view of everyone.

Like that field a stone’s throw away which is lined with bushes? (So that the general public can be spared the view of his ahem.)

Or the nearest toilet which is less than a three minute walk away, at Burger King.

Of course, the bare butt was the first thing that caught my eye, because it was so bliming’ obvious. So I grimaced, leaned over to my mum and remarked - “I feel like saying ‘shame, shame‘ very loudly when we walk past that kid.”

And that was the lesser of the two evils.

What I really wanted to do was to recite the entire ’shame shame’ poem at that little fellow which goes - ‘Shame, shame. Baboo shame. Kachang puteh lima shame.’

I expected my mum to rebuke me for being so mean. (She knows my animosity towards kids very well, considering how I am constantly coming up with ways and means to annihilate any kid that crosses my path, beginning with my biggest wish of flattening kids running around at Carrefour with a trolley.)

Instead, she sniggered and agreed.

“Me too,” says she.

But we didn’t, of course.

Conscience and sheer pity for the kid soon took over, and we only broke into giggles when we were safely out of sight.

Out of curiousity - did you as a kid, ever pee’d before in public?
(And please tell me you did it in a bush.)

Random, random, random.

Got this site from Loi’s blog - which allows you to create your own quizzes. So, I decided take a cue from her, be narcissistic and create one which is all about me, me, me.

So, here you go!

Go and see how well you know me. ;) Some of those questions in there are really obvious so if you get anything less than 50% … tsktsk.

Nah, kidding.

Share your scores with me (and which answers you got wrong) in the comments … if you wish. Because I don’t get notified of any responses, which is what I find lacking in that site.

Talk about cheap thrills. Nothing else seems to excite me anymore.

Mood has been pretty up and down lately.

The last time I’ve seen any of my non-school friends has been … four months ago. Health issues has been keeping me at home, and I only leave this place either to (i) go to school or (ii) head somewhere with my mum.

Needless to say, I’ve been spending loads of time with my mum during the past three months plus.

Somehow, I no longer feel safe when I’m alone, or with anyone else.

I feel the most confident only when I’m out with her, knowing that she knows exactly what to do in the event anything happens, and that she will catch me if I fall, or faint, or whatsoever.

She’s been really supportive. And overly pampering me, I must say - paying me for my incessant purchases, satisfying my weird cravings for various food, fetching me to and fro school, cardiologist appointments, doctor appointments and anywhere else.

Big fat thank you.

And meanwhile, I shall heed her advice and turn in early.

3.50 A.M.

Well, at least it’s still considered early for me. I’ll try to do better next time.
