It's been more than a week since I last posted. Alas I'm not being very regular these days! To tie up some loose ends, the concert that I mentioned two posts back was kind of okay, I enjoyed myself a little, even though I was exhausted by the end of it having performed twice in one day. I'm also very grateful for the friends who turned up to support me, and I don't think I can say enough to express how special that made me feel. So thank you again, Kathy and Weiqi, Yvette, Zirui, Jason and You Jin.
I've remodeled Kathy's blog, by the way, and I'm quite proud of it. Hop on over for a looksee.
This is the first week of the June holidays, which leads up to the dreaded Blocks, the mid-year exams. Yeuch. So effectively, it's a month-long study-break, which I'm supposed to, um, use fruitfully. If it redeems me any, I've begun on my reading again! Am currently in the midst of Dan Simmon's Ilium, which I borrowed together with Iain Bank's Walking on Glass. But what's most exciting is the trip I made to the Singapore Expo last sunday, to the MPH Warehouse Sale, where I bought The Birdcage by Marcia Willett, The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey and The Lost Chronicles, a companion to the TV series. All for just $35! Wow. XP And the Lost companion book comes with a free DVD of the pilot episode of season 1. Wee!
Ah well. Nothing much else has been happening. For the first time, I actually wish that it wasn't the holidays, and there was school to look forward to the next day. It's rather boring staying cooped up at home all the time. I was just thinking today, as I returned home after voluntarily venturing out to buy lunch for Mum and I, that you do grow out of being anti-social, at some point in your life, and I think I've reached that point in mine.
I think I'm a little bit happy, despite everything, and everything is a huge dark wave that's about to crash over me anytime.

I'll go and hope the new me shows so everybody knows
That i've found myself able to fly away
without magic feathers
or jefferson aero planes
I've got with me all that i need
The best thing about Relient K is how I'm always able to rediscover their songs over and over again, despite having listened to their albums a million times over.

Greyprism needs a remodel.
And more posts, of course.
A short update on me is due, I guess. Having choir concert this Sunday. This whole week has been rather crazy, actually, what with practices every day of the week except on Wednesday. Our practice yesterday was tiring. Everyone was kind of dying halfway through already, because we practiced until 9+pm on Thursday (from 4pm!). I haven't exactly been in a good mood these past few days either, and being on the bus yesterday made me even more pissed off because the top deck of the bus was crowded and I had to sit next to this guy who simply couldn't sit properly, forcing half my butt of the seat.
Generally I've been going home and falling asleep immediately. Haven't had much time to do work, except during the long, interminable breaks I have in school, which I loathe. Most of the time, I think I'm the one falling through the cracks. There is rarely anyone around during my breaks, and even when there are, we are usually so bored we don't do anything except sit and stare into space. Somehow, people either have lessons during my breaks, CCA, or simply disappear into thin air.
I guess I crave some girl friends. I only have a few in my class, and we're not the best of buddies who hang around each other 24/7. So it's usually me and the guys, and it gets a bit tiring after a while, no offense to anyone. I mean, the stuff they talk about and the stuff I want to talk about are different. And frankly, I'm not 100% comfortable around them anyway.
You know what? I think my life is sad. Lately I've been feeling empty, like a vessel that has been poured out too many times without being filled. And I seem to have stopped caring what happens around me, and all I've been doing is simply going through the motions of school, waking up in the morning, taking the bus, sitting at the class bench until the assembly bell rings, going to line up, trudging back to the class bench after assembly, going for lessons, shuffling up and down corridors, eating half-heartedly, laughing emptily, sleeping on the bus, going home.
Ah well. I have to find something to pull me out of this hole I've created while pacing round and round.
But all it does is get deeper. And soon, the walls will get too high for me to scale, and then I'll be trapped, forever, until the clouds shroud my vision when the sky falls.
And more posts, of course.
