Don't you ever cry and cry and feel so sorry for yourself that you don't even know the REASON WHY you're doing so?
Maybe it's the stress, or maybe I'm giving myself stress. But I'm already SICK and TIRED of having to meet deadlines, pass tests and try to keep a CALM COMPOSURE on top of that. GOD.
If you ever take a peek into my journal, you'll wonder why I have so many QUESTIONS that NO ONE can ever ANSWER. And that's a pity, 'cos the only way to resolve my problems is to have them answered.
dsflsajf; *frustration, anger, whatever negative feelings you can think of*

Since I've already raved about Ender's Game, now it's time for Ender's Shadow. MWHAHAA! I've finally finished it yesterday evening. Woaahhh, it's SO SO SO good. Hmm. I really need to brush up on my reviewing skills.
For starters, I strongly believe that Ender's Shadow should be read AFTER "Game". My father however, insists on reading it the other way round. Oh well, to each his own. Anyway, "Shadow" really lets you into the mind of Bean, and you get to understand why certain things happen in "Game", for example why only launchies and soldiers on transfer were in the new Dragon Army. But I shan't give away any spoilers here (not that anyone reads this crap, but still).
I don't know if I should get the sequels to "Game" - Children of the Mind, Speaker of the Dead and... I think it's called Xenocide, or something to that effect. From what I heard, it differs from "Game" as it tells the story of Ender when he's grown up, no longer a child. A genius still, but different. I won't know if I find it boring. Oh well.
Going to Ying Wan's house later. Don't know whether to rejoice or not, actually. Kathy's going on the Citroen trip to Sentosa. Bleh. Too bad she can't join us. Anyway, we're going there to do this stupid, nonsensical, idiotic, pointless literature thing. We've got to translate the first scene of act I of Twelfth Night into a modern Singapore context. Not difficult, I know, but with my level of intellect... ehh, I don't think Jaya would be happy with what we come up with. Besides, I think we're the only group to fuss over this. I mean, HELLO, this isn't even graded. It's just a SMALL, TEENY, MINIATURE classroom activity. Who the hell cares. But heck. I don't want to be seen as this idiotic group which Jaya already is biased AGAINST go up in front of the class to be SHAMED at.
I apologise if that was a little ... strong.
Bleh, I've got nothing else to write, except that I am an incompetent fool because I neglect my superficial duties at ND and BtH, but guess what? I don't really care. I apologise to those who have had to suffer because of my irresponsible decision, but I've already sorted out my priorities, really. Real life comes first, no matter how much I want it to disappear off the face of the earth forever. Well, it's too bad for me that the reality of failing seems to leer out at me, taunting me, threatening to ruin the next five or so decades of my life.
Or I might just decide to end it within the next five years.

"The silence between them seemed eternal, a peace so perfect, like a river's stilled waters, and it was times like this that Hai enjoyed the most, times when he was alone with his sister, both silent yet telling each other a million things. It was this wordless form of communication that he treasured so much and was afraid he would lose one day."
My favourite line! Don't you like it too? Ehehe. Ego ego ego me. Well.

This is bad. It's almost as if I'm running away from something. Actually, I think I am. *shrug* But here I am, on one of my random visits to the computer. Be happy that I'm blogging, you know. I have no sense of responsibility. I shan't rant here. I've already done so in my journal. So hey. Who cares what happened in my stupid life?
Blehbleh. It was raining. Don't know if it still is. I want to go ride my bike. I know it's just because it's new and I haven't had a decent bike for YEARS. But hell, it's exercise, and I need to haul my fat ass on that seat and burn those calories. Haha.
I got the LOTR books and I am trying to resist the urge to read them becaus I got so MANY OTHER THINGS to read/do/study. Now a book I borrowed from the school library, and going to read Ender's Game/Shadow next. =)
*sigh* I miss Everworld. I might write a fanfic about it one day. Hehe.
I got a plot for a story. But I don't think I'll ever start/finish it at all.
*babbles randomly*
