probably the best sleep I've ever had in a long time. FINALLY my dad has decided to install another air-conditioning unit after ours died on us in 1943. now I walk everywhere with a comforter draped over me, but I'm not complaining. last night I camped out at my sister's bedroom on her sofa where we watched Grey's Anatomy Season 3. I feel like I haven't seen her in awhile, my old roommate. I suppose I'm more attached to her than I thought. in fact, when she first moved out we were wailing to each other that things wouldn't be the same, so much til my mother suggested we got ourselves walkie-talkies for those lonely nights in our own room.
it's been a terrific first week of school. Sally may be right, we could just be the only course where its students are excited about school. because my friends and I seem thrilled to be back, but I can't say the same about the ones from other faculties. I'm taking Visual Communication, History of Communication, Cinema Studies, News Writing and Reporting, Basic Modern Photography and Journalism Practicum this semester. by far THE MOST EXCITING BUNCH OF MODULES I've taken, save for History of Comm since it's suppose to be fuck boring, but it's Detenber! who is lovely to us and we'll feel bad for skipping or sleeping in his class.
I thought it'd be hard not staying in hall and having to travel back and forth. just so you know, about 3 hours of my life is put aside everyday just for travelling, so if you're at Tampines and I'm at Boon Lay and you want me to 'drop by' for coffee after school, I'm sorry but you'll have to spend the first hour and a half by yourself. actually I don't think the travelling is that bad, cos I like train rides. but then again I am just being optimistic because it's only the first week, so once I start cursing the transport people or opt to take a cab to school and refuse to change my mind, do not take me seriously. please understand.
having said that, Happy National Day! I have a little flag on my desk here resting against Mr Potato Head, which is probably the only patriotic thing you will ever see me do. today we're all hanging out at Amri's place to watch the fireworks (because he lives on the 25th floor or God knows what and you can see the Esplanade from the living room which is why I think my sister should so get married to him. I mean, talk about perks). I actually volunteered to help him cook so we have to come abit earlier because of that. I hope they have durians! because it's significant. you know, durians = esplanade = where they're having the parade = it's like we're there with everyone else.
