i like the song. -- see lyrics below. i think lifehouse is another one of those bands that i like. they tend to come up with songs with nice tune and occasionally VERY nice lyrics. LOOK at the part i highlighted in yellow, what more need i say?...not forgetting the lead singer has a nice (or should i say unique) voice. just like bands like matchbox and switchfoot...hmm. i think being in a band is definitely a 'high' experience. too bad i'm not in one. or else i would know more.

today i was thinking about " qing1 chu1 yu3 lan2". i remember in primary school my chinese teacher made us guess the meaning to that cheng2 yu3 and i tried but didn't get it. took the thing too literally. then she explained it to me and told me that one day she hopes that i would be an example she can use when she teaches the cheng2 yu3 to my juniors. well she has retired and i feel bad. i wonder if i've done anything worthy for her to be proud of...don't even talk about being more outstanding than she is. she's one of the most inspiring people i know but i feel i haven't talked to her and thanked her enough. things i didn't know how to say to her back then but now i do...yet i don't know how i can get in touch with her cos she's no longer with the school.
why did i even think about this? cos i was back in TP today. after going one of the JCs in s'pore to settle some of 'son's academic matters -- if you know what i mean. passed PC and went to central for lunch. suddenly all the memories came back. where were the days of my primary school and the PC i once knew? sigh. it's gone perhaps...at least physically. the building is different now, and nothing i can relate to. the spirit of the school has changed or perhaps more of diminished. fellow PC-ians will agree with me i believe. things aren't the same anymore.

went to NLib tdoday. well actually i only used the NLib carpark to be exact. i was at BB complex walking around the newly-renovated Pop. bought loads of stuff. including a water cushion for my chair (hopefully more comfort would bring about greater academic efficiency). the new Pop is really big, 5 floors of it. i think the rest of BB complex can just close down given Pop's size...ok maybe the rest of BB complex excluding SweeLee and AF. visited this shop that sells all the design books too. interesting. after that drove down to ikea for meatballs (hey i can't help it...)

can see how much driving i did today? no wonder my right leg aches.

where are my results?! the fact that they're not out yet is driving me nuts. i've been having nightmares all over again. no different from how the results for the As were. i just hope they don't come out too screwed. i don't know what to or what i should expect. freaky.

i wonder if the rest of my world are back in s'pore. i'm bored. haven't been to TP (not that mentioned above, the other one...) in nearly a whole week -- what an accomplishment. partly because i've been feeling ill the past week and i've been lazy and caught up with other stuff like gaming. but i think i'll be heading there soon starting next week? wonder if mrsT's back. not that i intend to run into her, just curious. it seems weird going to TP knowing i definitely won't meet her. in fact, it's a little sad. haha...better not say too much lest i run into people like GW again. wahaha...

my fan is demonstrating the concept of resonance to me every time i turn it on. because natural frequency = driving frequency. so i need to change the natural frequency of my fan or modify the driving frequency of the oscillation of the blades or else i'll be kept awake through the night. yes, can anyone tell i'm still sane?

going to esplanade tomorrow for some function thingy-thing. think i need to figure out how to make my way there then go to sleep so that i can wake up in time.
