Beauty & The Beast

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Hey people ! This week of school has been nothing new lately. Been staying back in school till very late to do my assignments as per normal. Only difference is how I spent my Wednesday and my weekends.

Wednesday, we had the MAD Festival going on in SP where we had to facilitate the secondary school students. Thank God Gary and I were in the same group or I would have died of boredom. Oh and it seems that some of the SD kids had problems working with some of the DMIT kids. Ohwells. That happens when we're too awesome. (: Made new friends with the secondary school kids.

Friday, aka Vesak Day aka Fah's birthday. ZakkIAH, SyaiF, Ella Pinoy, Yusman, Keenan and myself went to surprise Fah at her crib with a cake, guitar, collage and a GLEE cd. She was utterly shocked but all the same, I'm glad she was happy. We went to Teh Tarik, where her dad treated us to shark's fin soup. *Thanks Mr and Mrs Nashrun ! We really appreciate it ! * After that, we headed down to DXO to meet Fi and Nam (another surprise for Fah !). Saw a couple of eyecandies (hehe). Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and bussed home in the night rider.

Saturday. I went down to DXO AGAIN but this time round, it's to join Zakk and her friends celebrate Rachael's 18th birthday. *HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAL !* After a late night supper, they went off while I went back to DXO and joined my new friends. We partied all night long till the club closed. Hung outside for a while before bussing my ass home.

I just realised. No matter how late I sleep, in this case being 5+ in the morning, I will always automatically wake up at around 12+ in the afternoon. Pfft. So irritating !

All the same, I enjoyed myself through and through. Thanks people for the awesome time ! I'll save money for next week's enjoyment. Oh damn I just remembered that I'll be working on that Saturday. Maybe I can go after work ? But I have to bring extra clothes. Pfft. -.-

I swear I hate my laptop. Just last week, it could read and view all the folders in my external hard drive when I plugged it in.

But this week. NOOOOOOO. I plugged in my external hard drive into my laptop to backup my weekly data just in case *touch wood* my laptop crashes and what did my laptop do? It could detect my external hard drive was plugged in but I can't excess it anywhere at all on my laptop, let alone view all the folders in my external hard drive. Pfft. Now how the fuck am I gonna back up my weekly data if I can't even excess my folders in the hard drive at all? I can't keep using people's laptops and thumbdrives to help me back up my data to my external hard drive. It's so effing troublesome la !

The ironic thing. My younger brother's laptop could read and view the folders in my external hard drive. AND my laptop could view and read all the folders in my iPod and handphone but not my external hard drive ! Of all the things it could have gone on to screw ! My hard drive is the most important piece of shit to me you bloody fucking laptop !

Ok. So what has been happening lately?

On Wednesday. After the main com interview, I went to meet Syirah, Michelle, Gaby and Syuhaidah at T511 to do our assignments together and we only went home around 10+. I arrived home at around 12+.

On Thursday, I was super duper tired that I overslept for like half an hour? School-ed from 8 till 6, after which I headed down to West Coast Plaza with Joash to buy my new kicks (which looks awesome btw) before proceeding back to Dover MRT at around 8+ to meet Afiq and head back home with him and his friend.

On Friday. Had lessons from 8 - 10. Slacked with Az and Xin Yi in the studio where we were sharing our stories on our cats. Lunched with Michelle, Hui Shan, Eileen, Syazni, Keola, Marcus and Joash at FC1. Crashed their studio for a while before heading to Dover MRT to meet Ridzuan and proceeding down to 22 Amoy Street for a photoshoot, which went exceedingly well I must say. Sadly, though, we didn't get any copies of the pics as the softcopies were ridiculously expensive ($45 per copy). Rushed back to school and slacked in club with the SD Year 2 club members. Hung out with Ash, Rahim and Nad at the back of the basketball court to chill and chit chat. Proceeded to T251 (SD main office) to makan2 with the Year 2 FOP GLs and helpers (Kelly's treat for the success of FOP) after which we all went down to Moberly for the SDC Welcome Party cum Barbeque for the Year 1s. Hung out with them. Played games. Epic madness was going on among Zakk, Ella, Yusman, Keenan and Syai (L4D2 junkies) as they were... Well. I'm gonna upload the vid on FB. So check it out on my profile. HAHAHA !

Now, I have to do my other assignments. Pfft. I'm starting to slack off and I hate it when I lose my momentum when I already got my adrenaline rush. And I can't get started on my IDS mock up and actual models cuz my dad took the smaller wire mesh (meant for my mock up) as a sample to get me the bigger wire mesh (meant for my actual model). He still hasn't gotten my bigger wire mesh yet and he's still holding onto my smaller wire mesh. Pfft. I need those wire meshes ASAP !

Toodles ~

As I sit here comfortably on my sofa, typing away to create this blogpost, I reflect back on everything that has happened the past couple of weeks, not only to me but to everyone of my other close friends who have had a hard couple of weeks too.

In life. There have been things or activities we never really dared to do cuz of the fear that we might fail or the fear of the disastrous consequences or results. There have been people we never really took the time to get to know better or bond with cuz of the fear that they might have a wrong perception of us or the fear that they might hate us for doing so. There have been courses we never enrolled in cuz of the fear that we might do badly.

The bottomline in all of this is simple. FEAR. We allow fear to grip our hearts and affect our rational thinking. We allow fear to make the decisions for us.

Honestly, right now, I feel that *they* make better examples to *them* than I ever was. They bonded with *them* in the right manner while I went about the wrong way in trying to bond. Seeing how easily they communicated with them made me learn something new.

Ohwells. People tend to slip up. Everyone makes mistakes. We learn from them, pick ourselves up and try to move on. Yes. I find it hard to move on after I made a mistake cuz I tend to feel guilty about it but I'm still learning. I'm still young. Well. Not really young but I still am ok! :D

I was feeling particularly down after what happened last night and I just felt like going out today to get away from it all. Go out I did.

I went down to White Sands first to buy my much awaited specs and pay my Starhub internet bill after which I headed to Bugis with Syirah to do some window shopping. Met Zakk and Fi at Sarbats (as always, they were late) where I bought the bag I wanted for so long at Arab Street along the way. Hung out with them. Did our catching up. Train-ed home.

Thanks ladies for the day today. Greatly appreciated. Now I wonder how to face that person tomorrow.

Ok. I have no idea why my blogpost is titled so. Ohwells. shrugs shoulders

Anyways. I've already completed my Week 2's assignments. Yes and I'm damn proud of myself. Although I think my detail drawing for the platform is of the wrong scale and my TOD journal cover sucks (and Imma try to sketch in some ancient design shit to make up for the lackluster journal cover page) overall, I'm contented and I deserve a pat on the back.

Thank Allah that this whole shitty week of school ended off with me feeling great on Friday. Cuz I managed to clear up 2 misunderstandings between myself and 2 of my close friends on both Thursday and Friday respectively. I started talking to my close friend back again on Friday and we carried on like as though nothing happened the day before. (:

However. I still feel weird cuz of Monday's and Wednesday's incidents on MSN. It's like I wanna chat with that person but at the same time, I'm afraid that that person might get irritated even though all I wanna do is to just chat and get to know the person better now that we're close friends. I took Syirah's advice but still. I can't help but feel weird. Afraid. Paranoid even. Even just now when I chatted with the person for a while on MSN, I could still sense the unhappiness but then again, it could just be me. Ohwells. shrugs shoulders

Let's just let time do it's thang and nature take it's course.
