I don't want it to rain. 

Its raining and thundering crazily outside now. The world is coming to an end, i swear!
The lightning is terrifying. It must be God taking photographs of us now- thus the flashes. He's probably recording pictographically the carnage us humans have unleashed on the planet, and documenting the process of the end of the world. 

Oh i love rainy days.

I hope nicholas, my brother, my cousin, and all other baldies are safe at field camp. Wennie wasn't kidding when he said his sergeant indented rain for the camp. 

Dear God, there really isn't much on tekong, so please could you give the phototaking there a miss and leave the boys in peace?

The world is conspiring against me.

My swimming costume, sunblock lotion, towel and goggles had been eagerly stuffed into my bag last night in anticipation of my diabolically awesome stop-turning-into-a-lipid-by-swimming plan that was supposed to start today. 

The skies thunderstorm-ed the morning away today to my despair.

And my period decided that of all the days it could come, it would come today.

The world is so contrived.

It's sunday again.

I wonder how most people feel on sunday evenings... when i was still in school, i would usually just be a confused lump of emotions on sunday evenings. I would feel satisfied because i had accomplished things through the week, excited because i would be going back to school the next day- a place which meant so much to me because of my friends, dance practices and the buzz of it all... and slightly grumpy, because it would mean no more late mornings, and very late nights.

Now, sunday evenings are almost completely different. No more back-to-school hustle and bustle, no more last minute work..just a little voice at the back of my head saying, "well what do you know, that's another week gone by." The only thing that differentiates my weekend from the rest of the week is the fact that i get to spend it with nicholas, and as silly as it sounds, that really makes all the difference in the world to me.

Still, i had an awesome week and an even more awesome weekend. Calvin and i are really thinking of doing ballroom seriously, like competitively for the competition in august. Ballroom lessons on wednesday nights never fail to keep me going because they are just so much fun and because it means the weekend is just round the corner. :D Kim, enqin, jia, nicholas, sean and i hit mind cafe on friday night and it was so insane! Crazy screaming, yelling our throats sore and laughing till we cried about sums it up. It was awesome fun(: we should try pitstop next time though, kim says its better and cheaper. And if kim says so, it must be! :D

Three things i discovered about myself over the weekend:
1. I have a pretty darn good memory. Nicholas and i read an article on memory, and how "bad memory" isn't the loss of memory (apparently the brain never forgets anything), but instead simply a matter of not being able to retrieve memory and information in an organized manner. And then i realised i remember things like a camcorder! I rewind back to the day of the incident or the place of reading/seeing/learning something and i replay and relive the exprience...like it plays in my mind like an old film.. werid isn't it? but hey, its been pretty effective:P

2. My almost impeccable sense of rythm (okay fine i exaggerated it.. but its still pretty good) has to do with the many hours i spent in my childhood watching tom and jerry clobber each other up, dance, and do everything else in sync with the bigband/swing music which played.

3. I am a maggimee prodigy.

Oh well. It's getting late. And its sunday again.
Which means, another week till i see nicholas again.
Which means, another week of work, muaythai, piano and dance.
Which means, another week closer to flying off to london. - this, i don't know if i say with excitement or apprehension.
