I'm back. And hopefully my butt will stay.
Had this sudden urge to pen my thoughts down, and felt the need to do so when I realised that this year has passed really quickly. I don't wanna end the year feeling like I merely lived the life of a mugger zombie, cos that would be really pathetic.

So here are the highlights of 2011; things that made the mundane life less boring and to some extent, pretty exceptional :)

Before that, on a sidenote, I was going through the blog counts and am still surprised that there are people who come here hahaha. I guess these minor things sort of make me feel less alone at times? And some mad stalker, who are you, DON'T TOUCH MY ARCHIVES. Kinda embarrassed at the way I talked in the past with those disgusting exclamation marks and spamming of emoticons, but I just want them there, somewhere in cyberspace, so I can retrieve the memories when I need them.

Team
The big bball fam and our fam, they're pretty much still the team
Even though bball has taken a backseat in my life and I'm forced to leave it out of my priorities, it never fails to amaze me how much this sport can connect people. It isn't about how well you play the game but rather, it's the passion for the sport that brings people together.
Dagmn, this feels like a GP essay, but nah, GP essays are all about writing what is easier to write, the stand that has MORE evidence so you can make your essay look more complete. Mugger topics shall be touched later on.
IT'S ABOUT BALL THIS TIME

Sad to say and guilty to admit this, but I still haven't touched the ball even though promos ended. It's weird I know, but I have no idea why this is happening. blargh.

Anyway, I'm reallllyy looking forward to the bball trip during Dec because I know (I just do), that it would be awesome, even though the location is pathetic malaysia. Those late night talks and gossip sessions, the retarded moments when you look at each other and burst out laughing after those few seconds of silence.... I can never be done enumerating the ways of fun we would possibly have. AHHH, wish I could fast-forward time.






Spent the post-promos days w Qi at Clarke Quay and chalet. We were commenting how we were like some old lovers.

Clarke Quay was PRETTY at night!
We were trying to be tourists, with the dresses and sunglasses and all, but failed terribly. I guess we'll always have the Singaporean look huh.



Chalet: 2 days 2 nights
Spent the first night alone and the solitude did me good. It's hard to describe, but I like feeling alone sometimes. It gives me space to think, to cut myself off from the world and to calm myself. And of course, the plus point about it being in a chalet is that I need not tidy my bed!

Morning was spent with qi nua-ing. Watched 2 movies which I forgot what the titles were, slacked out at the park nearby camwhoring, and back at the chalet nua-ing. The camwhoring part was embarrassing cos people were laughing at us agh. So that's how others feel when I laugh at them :/




Chan came over at night and I have no recollection of what we talked about, but it felt great to just spill everything out, whether they were heartfelt truths or just pure bitching sessions. Another round in Malaysia!
The stupid cockroaches dampened the mood a little though. Agh, hate them.


Grades
Agh, no matter how much I hate to admit this, I've turned into a mugger. It's like, even after the promos, I still think of them. When I slack, I'll feel guilty. HELLO, who feels guilty for enjoying life the way I rightfully deserve?! Guess complete stress-free life will only surface after A-s, which is at least a bloody long year away.
Nevermind, I shall learn to like mugging somehow!

Grades were fine I guess, 2 improvements, 2 downgrades and 1 stagnant. It may sound like conceit to some when I mention that I aint happy with whatever I got, but I guess it's about self-expectations here. Nobody compares themselves to people worse than them, I mean, what for? Gloating about being superior than someone else will bring about nothing except arrogance and complacency. Perhaps it's over-estimation of what I can possibly achieve or unnecessary pressure placed on myself, but I always looked forward, and at times, too FARRR forward. I guess that's how I get my motivation :)

Currently, I'm spending my time reading and reading. from serious magazines to romance novels.
Kinda found no interest in dramas anymore since their plots kinda suck and it's just about guy meets girl, guy likes girl, girl likes guy back, some bitch comes in the middle, another guy has finds his love for the female lead unrequited, nevertheless, guy and girl gets together, lives happily ever after. My foot. as if life was that good.

And I sorta miss the feeling of chatting with a stranger LOL. Ohkay maybe I should rephrase. Not stranger, but like acquaintance? I don't know, but I guess I shan't conclude that quickly, since I get bored very quickly and may find it annoying after some time.

Shall get the OCIP documentation done ASAP, get a shower and continue reading whoohoo :)
