dear x-ray machine,

replaceable.

I always remind myself that I am replaceable, by anybody and at anytime.

So there’s no room for complacency: push beyond what you can do, and test your limits beyond what you know exists because for new ground could be yours for the taking.

Is anybody at home?

Woke up in T’s house after the longest nap ever. Other than learning why he’s so capable of knocking out for so long, I woke up with an unexpected envy.

I didn’t wake up at home today, but it’s the nearest I’ve felt to it. You’re slowly beginning to be my definition of home.

thoughts that haunt.

maybe everyone else was wrong – i don’t like interacting with people. i’m finding myself in a state of genuine disinterest for making new acquaintances and expanding my social horizons.

oh dear. this is very unbecoming for a business student, no?

evaporate?

it’s 2am, and I don’t want to go to bed – I’m physically tired from all the running around and socializing, but my mind spins restlessly. With a heavy cloud of thoughts tonight, I feel like disappearing again. I don’t know what I’m running from, but I know that I should act less dramatically lest people around me wonder what’s happening.

but it’s 2am, and i still don’t want to go to bed.

baby baby baby oh

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you… The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her.”

Stuff I’d get for uni if I had a lot more money than I currently have:

1) the 1.8k lappy I saw at matriculation fair.
2) a bike I can ride around campus in.
3) a couch for my new dorm. Haha!
4) shoes for school.
5) an aircon. LOL.

I hate moving. Rawr.

20 cute things to do on a date;

melly — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:43:15 +0000

Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as we both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of our favorite books
I’ll dress up as a ghost and you dress up us Pacman. Walk around downtown holding hands, and whenever anyone sees us, pretend to be embarrassed, and run off screaming “WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!”
Create photo evidence suggesting that we went on an adventure that didn’t really happen
Dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime “ie. Jaywalking, littering….”
Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
Try and visit as many people as we can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as we can, without them noticing.
Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when we show up, and stay there for a weekend.
Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when we get stuck.
Dress to the nines, pretend to be married, and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
Do the lamest tourist thing in our area that we have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so we arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, and then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city we’ve never been to. Use fake names.
Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad we are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jacks.
Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things
Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras
With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn
Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for us.
Rent a movie we’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue

- just in case anyone needs inspiration Some of the stuff on the list are pretty cute!

all fresh-ed out?

melly — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:07:39 +0000

Is it bad that I’m not doing all the freshie things that people are doing right now – i.e. joining rag, building floats, loving camp and more? I’m moving to PGP this weekend, and I haven’t started packing.

Matriculation is tomorrow; I’m trying hard to feel excited about being part of the NUS family, but the problem is, I haven’t exactly found anyone I can truly click with in Biz yet. But I guess that has to do with the fact that I haven’t exactly been looking very hard. Life for the past few months has been really great – jobless for two months now, yet to blog about my birthday, Malaysian Open, and the most recent Shape 10k Run.

My theory is: people stop updating their blogs either because they run out of things to talk about, or they have too many adventures and too little time to tell about them Luckily for me, it’s the latter. I have a feeling that when school starts, this blog’s gonna look more alive!
