We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We’re so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at how dark it is

Just finished Robert Charles Wilson's Spin. It was horribly overdue. I paid a $0.90 fine for it today when I went to the library in the morning. But it was good. I didn't think much of the book at first, but it was Wilson's writing style that enchanted me. There are few sci-fi authors who can write with such finesse and frailty. I'm sorry I didn't write my favourite bits down. Now I feel like buying it. I don't believe I've seen it at Kinokuniya; then again, I haven't looked.
I realise I'm not a very verbal person, in that I don't tell people what I feel. I keep all my cards close to my chest. I don't tell people much even though I really want to. I'm so tired.

I'm getting broadband on the 26th! That's next Wednesday. Yay.
I've also been playing a lot of Warcraft III lately. Argh. The campaigns are addicting because the storylines are good and engaging. They're not just mindless build this, kill them, kind of scenarios. They actually have a plot. Wow. I need to get my hands on Frozen Throne so I can play DOTA. Heh.
Gaming aside, I've resolved to start mugging. YES. qian hasn't started at all. Getting back BT results really makes me wanna work harder, LOL. So off I go.
Lately, life sucks more than ever. I always say life sucks, and life does suck, but somehow you go on, until you get into another rough patch. Life is kind of pointless, isn't it, we just live and take all these blows until we can't take it anymore, then we recharge, and all this shit comes again. Often, I believe that I can't get any lower than this. And when you're at the bottom, the only way is up, right? If everything has already gone to the dogs, if the proverbial shit has already hit the fan, then things can only get better, right? Oh I bloody hope so. The only refuge I have is in my books and computer games. >.< And Judas Unchained is so hopelessly overdue. I forgot to renew it. Damn. I think I'll end up paying $6 in fines or something, but I really want to finish it. Alas, it is a 1000 page long book. So I'll just... have to pay the price. I'll take it that I'm renting it. *shrug*
Apologies. That wasn't eloquent at all. I'm in no mood for writing. I haven't written in quite a long time, aside from today's GP practice essay. I picked a question I was interested in: Given what we already know, is further research into outer space justifiable? I essentially wrote crap, because I wasn't in the mood, and I didn't have examples or whatever, but I kind of liked it for the ridiculous things I suggested, like how research is justifiable because it will allow us to find habitable planets for humanity to expand in the future. Or whatever.
It's the end of the week again. The days go by too fast. I want Wednesday to come because I want to get broadband, but I want more time to study because I'm so inefficient at it. I take about twice the time other people take to study. But the point is, as long as I DO study, and put in more hours and more effort, it'll work, right?

It's funny how during the week I want the weekend to come just so I can sleep in and not wake up so bloody early in the morning to catch the stupid bus, yet when the weekend actually rolls around, I just want Monday to come so I can go to school and escape from the house. GAH.
We played LAN for three days straight. I/my classmates are crazy. At least I'm getting a teensy bit better at DOTA. LOL.
I'm getting more hyped up about learning Korean. Mum ordered some OSTs (A Moment to Remember 내머리속의지우개, My Girl 마이걸, Spring Waltz 봄의왍츠) and they came today. Was ripping them to the comp and typing the tracklist and everything. PHEW. It takes a bit of getting used to typing in Korean, but now I'm semi-proficient at it, meaning I don't need to look at a virtual keyboard to find out what keys represent what -- I more or less get it now. It's just that I have to read the words aloud as I type them. Haha.
Had a real 5TORM gathering on Friday! We didn't actually DO a lot of things. Mostly stoned around Yingwan's house because the pool table we booked got taken over by some other people. Blah. Meow actually fell asleep. Miki was her usual self, scampering about the house, chasing a laser pointer which we kept shining on the floor for her. In the end we used the laser pointer as a tool to get her to stop harassing us by pointing it somewhere further away, LOL. And I eventually gave up and let her lick my right leg. Ugh. Shouldn't have sat on the floor. YINGWAN! You need more chairs in your house. XP
Watched Weiqi's SCANDAL DVD. I think Vanness is good looking. Everyone agrees. Haha. Spent most of my time playing Rush Hour with Dawn, which is this IQ game which has little plastic pieces of vehicles on a grid board, and you're supposed to move the red car out. Very addicting. We sat there playing half the puzzles for a good part of the afternoon. We both agree that it should be renamed traffic jam though, because the cars kept getting jammed up.
Went to Jurong Point for dinner. I couldn't believe everyone didn't mind going to JP. LOL. Good for me though, supernear my house FOR ONCE! Everytime I go somewhere with friends, it's so far away. >.< We ate at Crystal Jade. It was quite an eventful dinner, what with the case of the extra xiao long bao. Haha. However Dawn and I were 旁观者 (bystanders) who were very sure of how many xiao long bao we ate so we were not directly involved in the mystery. Heh. Very amusing.
Anyway, if Weiqi is reading this, hope you had fun trying to read the Korean characters. Here's your H.O.T song:

Exams are over. Went out with Meow and Dawn to watch The King and the Clown on Tuesday right after my last Physics paper. It is the most awesome movie EVER. I am so getting the DVD when it comes out. 이준기 is really cute. XP I could go on about the movie, but I'm not in the mood for writing about it right now.
Went to play LAN with the guys after school today. The LAN shop was quite pro looking, although it was in the basement of some ulu shopping centre. Heh. We could wear our uniforms in to play, so we didn't need to change. Good. Played the usual DOTA, but we played a better version of CS with souped up graphics and stuff. Cool.
Eh. I'm in not really a good mood actually. School has been really really really blah. Today's the first day after exams. I walked around like an empty shell most of the time. I think I've forgotten how to laugh.

Skinned Windows XP. Heh. It looks good. It's a kind of Mac-PC hybrid right now -- I don't really like that mouseover docking bar thing that Macs use, so I decided to forgo Flashdock and stick with my Start bar.
