Ok, I'm gonna be making a very life-changing decision for myself.

If everything goes well, and nothing fails, I should be running for cultural sec for my JCRC. A little scared, coz I don't know what to expect, really. I don't know what hit me to even think about it, and I just decided to send my president a message asking about the position. The rest of the things just came to me.

It's a little too sudden. I wonder if I can make it.

Had just about enough with my room.

Craziest thing that ever happened to me today. A humongous insect (probably a wasp) flew into my room, headed straight for my shelf, and after that left. It repeated the trip quite a few times, until I finally closed my window. And I wondered what could be attracting that freaking fly... until I saw something attached to my shelf wall.

A FREAKING NEST!

I almost fainted.

The next moment, I saw it was trying to bash through the glass window, and I ran out of the room, screamed for help, but no one was really near by to help me. Freaking hell. Who would in it's right mind build a nest on my shelf wall?! Argh.

Finally got myself some guys to help clean out the nest. By then, the insect was gone, so we couldn't kill it. Bad move. After the guys left, it came back to haunt me for revenge. I couldn't watch my shows peacefully. It just hovered around, and kept flying in circles. I couldn't stand it. Argh. It came back periodically, so half the time I was fleeing from my room the moment it flew in. Damn it. No moment of rest. It bothered me the whole afternoon. Luckily by night time it didn't come back, if not I wouldn't have been able to get my shower.

Second craziest (and nasty) thing that happened to me today. Someone FREAKING stole my shokobutsu (and if anyone didn't know, it's the shower gel) that I just bought. (I usually put my shower basket outside.) Freaking thief. Luckily I had a spare bottle. Argh.

Crazy day.

Slow week. Jap class is really fun, but I'm starting to feel the stress of the workload ahead of us. I'm all for it though. Hopefully I can cope with everything else. Fluids is killing me. Will really need to study soon.

Had 2 block suppers, one at 27, and the other at 22. Not bad, the food's good, but I realise that I don't click with as many people as I thought I would. Sorta feeling a little detached from hall right now. Will need a little effort to get myself back into the circle.

Sorta gradually losing my block 22 ties and trying to make new friends at other blocks. I'm still with Ting and the rest, but I don't feel as close to the rest of the block as I did last year. Well, faces change, freshies come in, seniors move out. Just realised how solitary block 22 is, and how it is so detached from the rest of the hall. The feeling's very funny.

It's the difficult cycle of having to make friends all over again.

It's well into the 2nd week of school, and I'm still feeling a little lethargic. I finally convinced in my decision to stay in Jap, because I think I'll be happy and learn a lot of things there, and I sold my Compare Soc textbook, so everything's fine now. The timetable's quite late though, but I think I won't mind it too much.

I hope this semester will be a good one.

I got my Jap finally, but now I'm really thinking if I should stick back to Comparative Societies (and I already bought the freaking expensive textbook). Sigh.

Dilemmatic.

Happy National Day. Ok, fine, so I'm late by... about 3 hours, but at least it's the thought that counts. Spent the day slacking away, not much school stuff. We just started school on Monday, so everyone's still in the holidays mood, especially after the long vacation break. Argh.

School is really starting now. I just got my timetable settled. No more irritating Friday evening classes, but that means I don't get to take Jap this sem. I'm taking stuff like intro to Human Resource Management and Comparative Societies. Funny humanities modules, but I have to clear them anyway. Might as well do it now.

(I have a request for a write-up on SNAGs, so ya, here it is.) SNAGs, sensitive new age guys, are a rising trend in recent societies, though not that many men possess those particular traits. Hold on to them when you see one.

Ta-da.

Camp has finally ended, and school is starting soon, like... tomorrow. Sigh. I'm having sorta pre-school blues now. The class is gonna play some mahjong later, and I'm all hands for it. Heh. Helps to keep your mind off school.

Not bad, we had a small C26 gathering yesterday at East Coast. Did some BBQ-ing and stuff, and ended off with everyone trying to guess the secret behind the snake game. Lol.

Looking forward to seeing everyone later over at Hall 2.

Was feeling very beat up just now, over something that I shouldn't be. The niggling irritation is long gone, but the root of the problem isn't solved yet.

Argh, fuck it.

You know those times when you try to get to someone and that person just doesn't respond? Especially when the matter is urgent or important, and you have no way of contacting the other party. You feel so frustrated, so helpless, so... alone.

I feel that way now. I have no way of getting to the bottom of the matter, and no way of reaching the other crucial person that might help piece up the puzzle. And I feel so dumb, feel like doing something stupid, feel like just doing anything to get to the bottom of the matter. It just wouldn't rest and get cast aside. It just lingers at the back of my head like an irritating headache, and I'm like suffering from the mother of all headaches.

Someone just fucking tell me what to do.

Just finished my day 2 at hall camp. Well, at least programmers are damn slack. Hee. We just tag along our home groups, or do some self-entertainment stuff within programmers. Kinda like senior-senior bonding, and a little of senior-junior bonding.

Went to Sentosa today to get my 3rd round of tanning for this July month (and I'm starting to get really irritated by my tan) and I got a little of burn on my face coz I didn't put block on my face. Argh. Kinda regretting my decision now, but well. All I'm feeling on my face are the tingling burns across my cheeks and nose. Dammit.

Will be slacking and doing a little laundry tomorrow coz there's nothing on the list for me, so it'll be a good day to catch up on some sleep tonight.
