I forgot to bring my laptop charger home!!!! Just how blur can I get?? I was unloading some stuffs to pack my bag in order to squeeze my laptop into it and I forgot to put my charger back in!!!! Argh!!!! Luckily, this was all done in the MC room and I can go back to school tmr to get it. As a result, I am going to type this entry in top speed as the battery in running low. (Turned out tt my laptop showed me the low batt pop-up and I just switched to my old old desktop to type this...)

On to the subject, I have decided to apply for the French Double Degree programme. I must stress that the decision was largely made even before I went for the talk this afternoon. In fact, my desire to sign up was slightly reduced during the talk because the prof was advertising the programme as though it is a sucky programme and we had completely no interest in it. In short, he sounded desperate. However, I still want to apply for it as (you probably already know) I want to live in a foreign land and experience the culture. Maybe I'm just a wee bit sick of Singapore or maybe I just believe that the grass is greener on the other side. Of course, I know that there is a lot of hard work involved. I am willing to live my life as a study-holic. lol.. As my "evil" sister puts it, "you don't have gf now, so burn all your saturdays also nvm la." I'm not going to ask u guys to pray for me that I get in as it is not some life & death situation to me, and I'm ok if I dun get it in the end.

By the way, I was encountered a funny scale of measurement for time today. I was asking my friend if he wants to apply for the DDP. He replied, "It takes 1 dota game to type the essay and 2 dota games to go for the interview leh." This guy got a cap of 4.4 by the way.

We later went on to the topic of bgr and he asked me what is my type of girl. Haha.. I found great difficulty giving him a reply because I was typing my essay (I suck in multi tasking) and I seriously have nth much looks-related stuffs that I look for in a girl. Just that from experience, I like slim girls. I know this is the "wrong" way of thinking but it is natural, I guess. Other than that, there was nothing much I could think of in terms of looks. I am more concerned with her having her own aspirations and has the drive to pursue them. And other stuffs of course..

Then I realised that all my "desperateness" seem so fake. I said, "why? you wanna intro girls to me huh?....intro girls to me leh.." I hardly meant it and even if he did introduced some girls to me, I'll probably tell him not to be lame. The truth is: despite all my kbs about getting attached, some part of me just don't mind remaining single. And no matter how hard I try, the simple line, ".. want to be friends.." is enough to make me stop my stupid pursue. I dunno why.. It kind of sucks.

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
