Leaving for the land of GUNG
Ok i apologise for the lack of enthusiam in the previous entry.I am going to KOREA by myself. YAY.
Not really by myself, the air plane journey there on my own. The plane ride back on my own. No, i am not going psychotic and start talking to the poor person beside me. Hoping really hard that I will get the window seat. Anyways, it is going to be an experience to spend 1 h at the airport with nothin' to do. NOTHING TO DO. ok there is no such thing as nothing to do, there is a lot of things to do at T2, can watch t.v., play xbox, check email, blah blah. But there are lots of people in T2, so I will probably have to queue awkwardly.
Yes, i am awkward when i queue.
I shant disclose when I am coming back or when I am going, but i will be staying a whopping 15 days in KOREA with my favourite person in the world. My cousin! She will be staying there for 3 months, missing Christmas, CNY with the family. I cant spend Christmas with her - owning to my sense of responsiblity to the newbies next year. ( ya lah, got OGL camp) So sad lah, spending christmas all by yourself. Considering giving her a webcam for a farewell pressie, but she aint gone for that long.
15 days - we plan to visit all the amusement parks. And (sadly) go to the bear museum the one in GUNG. My cousin has to spend the morning practising piano for 4 hours. I dont know, thinking of spending my time, in parks! they have very beautiful parks there. So excited!
see ya for now

monopoly bluesThank you to the 03 ppl who took my monopoly and ruined my money. But most impt what pisses me off is that my board had food bits stuck in it. like squashed flat on the board, so the oil could seep through. Nice one guys, thanks. It was not like I lent them my board or anything, so why must this happen to my board?
On the other hand, chalet was mahjong crazy! I was glad it was like easy going and not like scheduled, no 3 -5 do what.I guess I would probably be the only who thought the 1h walk was worth it, for a tall glass of sugarcane water, a plate of hokkien mee and jade's plate of duck rice. I am so going to miss 04 and tony and I would be like buddies next year.
Today went for station games tryout, so I am damn tired now. Had a 1h long gossip with mr tan, xue yuan, faisal, sam and lynette. The topic of "jo lynn why dont you join council next year?" came up. Sigh, I really dont want to be the idiot who joins council for 3 years, but if that idiot can get a scholarship to harvard, why not?? But point being, if i am going to/can take medicine in NUS, i dont need a scholarship. So life goes round and round. I was thinking after reading britney's divorce with FedEx, that when britney was at my age she was in stockholm recording baby one more time. Sigh(this irks me) and to be so sure when I was 8 I would know what to do or who I am or what I love. OK i do, but sigh I am not driven enough.
The Equation for success
Hard work, practice, luck, money,pain, suffering,talent,drive,
Can I make it?
Watching donnie darko now (it is freaking weird)

EmptyI am feeling quite empty.
It feels so weird to have no aim, well to have some aim. Or a little aim, I have little aim. Great.
Not stressed about grad nite surprisingly,taking it slow, maybe 2 weeks from now i will explode. Going shopping for grad nite with other people's money, sounds like fun but i still feel empty. I wished he wasnt so weird.
Council
I dont talk about council anymore. Just feel empty.
Not warm, quite cold, maybe I am quite cold. But I hope it gets better around the holidays.
Constantine
I like constantine a lot. A whole lot. I like the middle finger he gives, I like the wit of the movie. I like the cinematography, I like keanu reeves, gavin rossadale and tilda swinton.
Actors
I like old, welsh, british, scottish actors. You must be old, thirty and above. You cannot act in fluff. You must be old, best if you have received Knighthood or OBE by the majesty I would like you more.
see you soon 05ip04

Time time on my sideOK i am leading quite the leisurely life - thinks back to last year (I have paid my dues man)
So far I have watched tons of shows, but what i want to say is I enjoy watching t.v. when i am not supposed to.. like now, the enjoyment is minimal.
Anyways when to bishan library after having lunch at subway with shihui. I am a quite sad person, just wanting to say, the shelves in the youth collection is circular and i had a headache from walking around it. And the book selection is quite sad too, I borrowed a neiman marcus cookbook, which adds to the sadness. And to top off the overall sad,sadness I may not be going to Japan. I will make it out of the country somehow, smuggle me out someone!
****The prestige
Christian Bale,Sir Michael Caine,Christopher Nolan..
Without doubt one of the best movies of the year, I hope it wins an oscar or something, but it doesnt make it in any category and the marketing too mainstream. Maybe "Best editing in a movie" or something like that. See the names up there, exact same cast and characters as "Batman Begins" So i went back to watch it. Katie Holmes ruins the whole show. But my mainpoint is Christian Bale is Hot Stuff,ok if you see him in his late teens to earlier twenties, he looks a bit boyband-ish, but he is Hot Stuff, like now. The prestige is the 3rd movie from the Bale-Nolan partnership, much like the Dicarprio-Scorsese parntership.
I am getting quite obsessed over the skull and bones society of Yale.Like very obsessed. Not good, blame it on da vinci code lah.
Out out out (notice how i dont mention O'level chinese, notice)
