I'VE GOT A DATE ON VALENTINE DAY!!!


Today is already Thursday. In the blinking of an eye, it's already the 4th day of commencement of Semester 2. Well, thing's pretty much the same as usual. The usual lectures. The usual lecture theaters. The usual bidding for modules in CORS. The usual balloting for tutorial slots and practical slots. The usual visitations to Science Library CBLC to get my lecture notes printed. The usual trips to NUS-CoOp. The usual food at the Science Canteen. The usual snacking of food and sweets in the midst of lectures.

Hate to admit this, but I still am in the holiday-ing mood. It's such a painful chore to drag myself out of my cozy bed early in the morning. In fact, it's downright a merciless torture and nothing less. I've always loved the feeling of defying gravity - lying on the bed luxuriously and stretching myself out the full length on the firm and springy mattress. Gosh, it's just simply such a wonderful feeling that no words can ever bring it due justice.

Know that I should be at least a little embarassed or guilty, but heck, what's done has been done, isn't it? I totally missed the whole of a 2-hours lecture on Wednesday. Hohoho! And the reason? I OVERSLEPT. Well, who could blame me? The lecture is from 0800hours - 1000hours, leh! And I stay in Punggol - the very very very last and secluded North-East end of Singapore - leh! *looks indignant*
The journey to school usually takes 1.30hours. Thus, I would normally wake up 2hours before the lecture, wash up and brush teeth and bathe and comb hair and wear shoes and blahblahblah, and get my pretty ass out of the house in 30minutes.
And since the lecture is slated at 0800hours, I had to take into account the crazy morning rush, and estimated my journey time to be 2hours. Thus, I need to wake up 2.30hours before my morning lecture on Wednesday - this means that I need to wake at 5.30am!!! Gosh, siao ah??? Try as I might, I really can't bring to drag myself out of the bed at this unearthly wee hour - especially when I'm still in a holiday-ing mood, and the impact of books and mugging have not hit the unfrazzled me yet (come to think of it, about time that it should, too).

Gosh, I honestly and desperately need a morning call (!!!) at 5.30am on Wednesday mornings. Really can't afford to keep missing my Wednesday morning lectures. AND, to make things worse, this particular module does not have multimedia webcasts. =(. It's either die-die attend the lectures, or really die for real.



And on yeah, did I mention something about Valentine Day?

YEP!!!


I've (finally) gotten myself a date on V-Day, 14th February 2007, Wednesday!!! Whee whee!!! Heeheehee!!!

I'm feeling so upbeat and delirious already.


I recall mentioning a few weeks ago that I've been making a personal promise to myself every year, that I'm not going to spend the next V-Day alone. Having made the sickening promise for 4 sickening years in sickening successive running - and having it fulfilled NOT EVEN SICKENINGLY ONCE - I now believe that making this kind of promise is a form of curse by itself and will not be going to make it this year round?

Well, sometimes, unexpected things happen only at the last moments.

And so, yep, I'm going to be out on V-Day night (a night of romance!!!).


While all the world's love birds and mandarian ducks are holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes and strolling in parks and admiring the moon and counting stars and singing lullabys and whispering sweet nothings, I'll be sweating it out in either LT11 or LT12 in FASS from 6.00pm - 8.00 pm, trying my utmost - and to the best of my ability - to complete the essay questions for Class Test 1 of SSA2204 Nation-building in Singapore (History).
6.00pm - 8.00pm!!!!!!!!! It's the romantic hours somemore, leh!!!
=( *sulks* *pouts*

I! don't! want! to! spend! my! Valentine! Day! taking! a! test! from! 6pm! to! 8pm! !!!!!!!!!
I dunwan. I dunwan. I dunwan. Dunwan. Dunwan. Dunwan. *pouts harder*
I'm crushed. =(


Perhaps, to liven up the mood and add some sensuality to the atmosphere, I should try to surreptitiously smuggle in a glass or two of sparkling red wine. Or maybe I should put forward a suggestion that the lecturers play some romantic love songs (I honestly think Forever Love by Gary Barlow or Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You by Glenn Medeiros would be a brilliant idea) while we, the pathetic students, sweat blood and tears over the essay questions.


And I've already made my plans. After the Class Test, I'll take bus 33 from Kent Ridge Terminal and head down to Tiong Bahru Foodcourt (Yeppie!!! Delicious food!!! I can taste it already!!!) and indulge and gorge myself silly on the famous Tiong Bahru Chwee Kueh.


HOW ROMANTIC.





P.S. Love's in the air, definitely. I firmly suspect that the lecturers are having a secret crush on me or something.
