| take a step back |
My week's been mix.
It started of on a really bad note, with the whole fiasco of me deleting my whole DnD folder on my laptop.
I really lost it and for ten whole solid minutes, I just swore and swore, trying to use any means possible to retrieve it.
But once I realised that it was a done deal, I flew online to make sure Sam kept the files that I once sent her. And thank God she had.
Nonetheless, it was a major scare and I still lost like 60% of my files, which included the banner design that I had just completed and had not sent to anyone.
I think I was more angry with my own stupidity really.
On Monday, I went down to The Oriental with the DnD committee. But before I met them, I took the opportunity to go CD shopping.
Spent a total of 80 bucks buying four albums, which I sorta regret really because I am currently in an extreme financial state right now.
I HAVE NO MONEY, and yet I owe people lots and lots of money. Which is so ironic because now that I'm giving tuition, you would have expected me to have more income and thus more money. But I guess the illusion of you having more income just spurs you on to spend more, so there you are.
Anyway, I met the committee after that and then we all went down to The Oriental hotel to meet the programme manager, the host and the representative from the hotel itself.
It was quite a fun meeting. I think we managed to settle lots of stuff and there was an air of achievement in the air, a kind of finality to the fact that DnD was really going to happen. One think I just gotta say though, I think the chandeliers of The Oriental hotel are SO BLOODY OBIANG. Disgusting. How to make the place rockstar-ish with those ugly things hanging from the celling?
Random note: Currently listening to Oasis' Greatest Hits album.
On Tuesday, it was the usual old routine.
Driving in the morning. I met Xiaoyan at the driving centre after that which was wonderful because I haven't had the chance to meet her all holiday despite the fact that she had been back from the US for like 4 months already.
Had a nice chat for the 15 minutes that she was there, waiting for her mom to pick her up for a medical check up. She offered me a lift to my house, which is so freaking near hers anyway. It was nice talking to her, even though it was only for a short while. 71 really should meet up soon, but sigh! I'm just experiencing too much inertia to initiate anything really.
After that it was Simpsons with Anat group peeps and Starscream in the the afternoon.
Simpsons is really funny. I think Homer is so idiotic though. But that is what makes him funny.
Never laughed so much in a movie, except maybe Shrek. Good stuff though. Brainless, irrelevant humour.
Then I left after the show for Pasir Ris to give tution.
Wednesday was another busy day. I went down to school in the morning to celebrate Yinxia's birthday. Goldilocks gave her a small birthday celebration at the Science canteen, after which I went to help out with a bit with RAG.
Had a really good time catching up with Shihui while pasting and cutting some colourful cube like thing and she was making her pig. Haha. I really should take a more active role in RAG... but if you ask me, DnD's more fun.
I guess I might just go down for another day or two, but considering my messy and tight schedule for next week, it looks like I'm in for hell.
But anyway, after that, I went with Starscream to Haagen Dazs@Holland Village where they were using their vouchers won from medicamp. Of course we were nice seniors and insisted on paying for our own purchases. Haha.
Interesting thing at Holland Village - I met three of my Chinese High teachers: Ms Yeo, Ms Koe and Mr Lim. all in Holland Village, in ONE DAY. I was quite freaked out because when I went back, Mr Lim immediately started to chat with me on MSN, which was so so freaky.
I also met Amanda from 71! She was conducting some survey for Campus Crusade, so I sorta volunteered to do it for her and she gave me an interesting note pad. And as always, she was asking me to organise a 71 outing, but I seriously have no idea what to do about that. Too much inertia.
At night, I discovered lots of sad stuff from some of my friends.
I hope they cheer up soon. Its so strange to hear some of the problems my friends are going true right now, and sounds so empty and hollow to tell them to cheer up, but I guess I'm not too sure how to deal with such things (because they have never occurred to me before) except to be a listening ear for them.
The world should really be a better place than it is today.
Today's another day of routine.
Driving in the morning, tuition at night. I'm starting to feel exhaustion creeping up on me!Labels: friends, randomness |
