Potato noodle
September 28, 2008
It's been a tiring day of badminton, and squash. During squash, Sunny craftly hit a dropshot and I, being so agile (or not), sped towards it and got it back, but stepped on a puddle of water (no idea why there's water inside the court) and slipped like a snow sledge.
After that, I was glad to be back to 902 and enjoy potato noodles. Yum yum.
It's time for a new song. What's better than this old song?
Too much to handle

Investment science is giving me much headache. I need to find a way to get through this class, someway, somehow.
Today's weather resembled a typical day in UK - wet and rainy. It was cold too. But from what I recall, raining in UK, or in fact, other places, makes things cleaner. But here, raining makes things dirtier.
Prob test tmr. I just want to rest..
Family

Everyone is back home now. I wish I was there too. Many think I'm individualistic, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be loved.
And everytime I see them, I want to vomit. You stole it from me, from us. And now you're exhibiting your family's happiness? I can't stand it.
Make me..

The quirks of living together
September 22, 2008
It is an interesting thing living with friends. I always thought that it'd be the easiest thing in the world, at least easier than living with a stranger, but shouldn't I have known better? Afterall I have had a similar experience in my junior yr in high school. I just thought that, as friends, everything would click with this person. But no, I was wrong.
When you are friends with a person, things between you two does not need to be so transparent. Many things are overlooked - you judge less, you devote more. You share secrets. Happiness tends to ooze from the relationship. Afterall, you would have stopped meeting if it were not a happy one.
When you start living together, things that didn't use to matter, or things that you were never aware of, suddenly matter, suddenly appear, and suddenly magnify. It's like David the statue - it looks handsome and flawless from far away, but as you move closer, you see cracks, blemishes, and fractures. Suddenly the person you used to hang out with all the time is right there. He becomes too available, too palpable, and gets a bit more annoying everyday. What do you do? Go out and find another haven to hide in? Move out?
Living together is just another thing in life that, like love, requires tolerance, understanding, and practice. Thankfully, I have two excellent friends who live together with me.

Hello peeps. Time has really flown by these couple of weeks. School has started, and it's great to see everyone having that freshness and hunger-to-know-people that drive strangers together. Yet it's different this year - I've become an upperclassman. It feels very strange, since it was just like yesterday that I arrived here.
Classes are going fine so far, though I don't feel very comfortable with my investment science class. 85% of the students are graduate students. I can only hope that my decision was correct.
Visit in August totaled 24468-23941=527, averaging 17 visits per day. Good good.
