dark and backward abysm of time

"What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?"....... "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing"

Name:

"where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time"

Innuendos of Ennui

my word..
can u beleive its Feb...ALREADY...sheesh!!is the world spinning on turbo wheels or what!?Why does everything have to pass us by so fast!
That' s just me venting out my frustration stemming from the fact that i've successfully missed...let me see..3 out 4 lectures for at least 2 modules in the past...er...4 weeks...nice huh.I'm simply the best..i better clean up my act if i have the remotest intention and desire to graduate- let alone with a decent degree!
I dont know if today was an eventful day or an uneventful one..its sorta one of those sitting on the fence ones...it started out like any other day...me waking up late and realising i had better RUSH my bath and etc etc and get out of the house ASAP..and me doing the exact opposite..except..i think i would have made it on time, until i got the call from Vikz...he called to say bye since he was flyin off to holland that very night - he'd be on the flight now i guess..(bon voyage man and hope ur enjoying ur inflight movie!)I had completely forgotten that he was flying off to Holland..felt soooo bad..he'd told me the date way before but i'd been preoccupied with all kinds of rubbish and it completely slipped my mind..anyways managed to squeeze in a short meetup with him to say adieu and bot him chocolates and scribbled a note on this really silly looking notepad...i know...pathetic..but hey...its the thot....NVM....well in any case im glad i got to meet up with him before he left.
After that made my way to the forum for my proj meeting...was late...ok fast forward to lunch with shan..it was really nice sitting and chatting with her for nearly - gasp 3 hours!Talked abt mutual friends..recent events...death...life...religion....etc...it was..soulful stuff, pun unintended!Good chat...was at the expense of my 'soci of work' lecture but let's just say i didn't quite mind..(yes yes ribena..dont glare and stretch out your palm..i promise this is the last ok??)fr the record..i dont intend to make this a terrible habit tho i know it sure looks like im headed in the right direction....but u know, a leeeetle bit of guilt aside.. i enjoyed the way i spent the time..i get a kinda satisfaction..feel as tho i have stopped to smell the roses and that sorta thing..and shan's a lovely person...very simple,down to earth and uncomplicated...and very much 'in her element' as vasuneh would say. i luv that expression
:)

Ok ..so yea...Afterthat went to sci to meet s(f) and met s(m) 1st while waitnig fr her...we had an unconventional (i'm getting used to it tho) and yet interesting (thought provoking) chat on ppl..the essence of our personalities...why we're different with differnet ppl...why ppl are different alone and in groups...comes back the 'me' vs 'i' debate...goffman and social theory on the 'self'...i find it really fascinating...i beleive that there are differnet aspects to all of our essential personas and the different sides are brought out by different ppl...and its hard to tell when we're really really ourselves...some ppl come alive in groups...while others clam up...hm its really an individual thing i guess...so anyways...s(f) turned up soon enuff with ela and mr dentist..interesting group...i'm saynig the word interesting waaaay too many times...im beginning to tire of it myself....fr the want of a better word...oh well.
After that..i jst realised this is probably THE most boring blog i can ever write...its just soooo bleagghhhh....sigh i dont know why im still at it...but nvm...i caught up with bbs and bs in the library..we were all whispering thru out, a good almost 2 hrs, and trying to laugh without getting thrown out of the library...journals section somemore!!best... but it was reallyyyy nice catching up with em...hey yoga if ur reading this hope ur meeting with koala went well and that u did hav substantial data to dazzle him with! Lkin frward to more sessions like today..but hopefully i dont take up so much of ur work time..still feel bad abt tht....sowwwyyy :/
Fast forward how the booth selling my soci module course pack was closed and hence i cldnt buy it...and the readings aint online so cldnt zap either...so yea...i left sch...basically havnig done nothing more than catching up and chatting with friends..saw the usual grp in sci canteen..also so saw pooh as a bonus..finally saw her in sch....(oh ya,forgot,bumped into josephine too!!she looks soo nice...well whats new but yea..it was great seeing her...miss seeing her arnd so it was such a pleasant surprise)...ok fast forward to city hall mrt where i was gonna meet ribena to go home tog with her...needless to say i kept her waiting...got off at de wrong station...later got lost,finally found the rite line- the whole works lah, im just hopeless or 'simply champion' as she would say soo endearingly (showing no sign of wanting to throttle me despite waiting fr me after a long day's work)... *guilty look! - but that's why she's such a sweet-heartfied goondot...or goondotfied sweetheart...wattttevvvaaa!!!
Aside : (Sorry again goondot,and thanks for meeting up...grt seeing ya ms professional babe! Wear the beige coloured power suit next time ok!!)
anyways finally met her and went home..nice end to my 'social butterfly' day. So much for aspiring socialite, i better get down to readings..got tutorials coming up...arggh!
Ok announcement time...
congrats oh the mouldy one on ur 1st published work on the WWW. Grt job indeed..so proud of u dudette...and cheers to more to come and to seeing ur mouldy name on print!Ok now u can leave me a nice long comment on my blog...hehe...and oh yes...had a really good time last night...felt like the good old days when we took those nice long morning walks...and it was damn nice at night too...enjoyed the walk and the company...thanks dude..and thanks fr the patience while i decided (tried to at least!!!!) which earrings to get! Btw... I like the ones i got :)
ok..i'm sleepy and bored to tears by my own writing....
*yawns
till next time......hopefully when i got better things to write....
Cheers...have a happening feb....

Music of the night :
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.......
