figure i'm blogging excessively now cuz a) it gives me something to do so i won't have to face the dread of packing. b) i'm catching up on e lost time of my comp crashing and me not being able to use e comp. c) i'm too free and have got nothing on my hands, which is pure crap cuz i
shld b packing.....
went back to school today to wish lofty a happy birthday..... it's funny howu feel so at home with each other, with ppl u've spent 1,2 years of your grueling school days with and yet u can speak barely 20lines to each other before they take off..........
e yr1s sang some crappy song they composed for lofty on e guitar..... funnily, watching em and laughing at em along w e rest of e tchers and old tsdians hooting their heads of at e pure ridicularity of e situation, i found myself feeling e camaraderie of e yr1s, and remembering how it felt in yr1 for me...... it's almost as if i
felt, not saw, my yr1 memories flash past my heart, and i just couldn't stop e outpour of emotions..... tears just welled up unwillingly, as if on cue, and they were
happy tears........ not tears of sadness that i'd b leaving this happy family behind; not tears of fearful ambiguity that i'd have to start anew, ground-zero in a new land; not tears of regret that things'll never be the same............. but tears of joy, joy at e remembrance of e happy times and glad memories i experienced in e past 3 years w my dear tsd mates and e precious tsd tchers...... tears of contentment that i had something wonderful and exclusive to hold onto as i move on with e new phase of my life........... i still don't feel e anticipation and eagerness, nor e fear or e uncertainty of leaving for a foreign beginning..... still deciding if i'm in denial; lagging; filling up like a dam ready to explode; numb from the avalanche of activities; just plain stronger emotionally, or e other myraid of reasons.......... sigh........ too much to feel and experience and think, too little an outlet to express, too little ways of expression........ least i took a great deciding step for e mind : i got me my laptop,
finally.......... after montyhs of procrastination....... a tiny step towards my physical preparations for melbourne, one great leap for my mental preparation.........

i'm a potential danger to my own personal well-being
it's like a drug, u know it's bad for you yet u can't get it out of your system and you keep going back to it, time and again............ what's worse is that it's something intangible, which makes it harder to pin it down...
like george thorogood puts it:
"I'll make a rich woman beg,
and a good woman steal.
l'm here to tell you honey,
that I'm bad to the bone."
-Song of the Day-
Out of Reach, Gabrielle
such a sad pretty song.......
hmmm....... it's funny how if u twist e words around it becomes a 'pretty sad song' and then there's this lil poignant pun there.........
-Happy Song of the Day-
Some Kind of Wonderful, Grand Funk Railroad
-Stuck in my Head Song of the Day-
Teddy Bear, Elvis
-'Aww' Song of the Day-
Everyday, James Taylor
on a more tangible, realistic, closer to deadline note,
i am
so unprepared for australia...........
haven't gotten my laptop
haven't gotten myself insured
haven't paid for my plane ticket
haven't bought e stuff to bring over for e bro
haven't zapped my sch certs
haven't gotten my monash online id yet
haven't gotten my hand carry bag
haven't gotten my new phone
haven't decided what to pack
which means i obviously haven't packed
sigh........ hope e list ends there......... ***gulpgulp***
