Today, Mei and I did the craziest thing. Heading to gym at 6.45am, at 5 degrees outside. It was a good workout and awesome catching up with her =). Then we had random cheese, bacon, egg wrapped in soft fluffy crossiant from a truck outside the Chem building, walking and eating. I swore our hands were numb when we reached the Business Quad.
Off to do some work now!
Lalala.

I have never,
ever encountered an online confrontation. My Bestie was the bravest to lead the whole convo on her own, while I being the useless one, watched in horror, agony. It was basically, a verbal warzone drizzled with much bloodshed via the Internet.
Final thoughts: Like what SC said, Imma do what I want, and what makes me happy for the next 3 months, and head back to Singapore knowing that I had the time of my life in U.S of A. No point feeling guilty, sad, heartbroken, disappointed, burnt. =)
To Cyn: Thank you lovely for your sweet entry on your blog.. You just made my day =). I miss you to the point that I wished I could hug you last night and just bawl my eyes out.
I havent laughed with Cyn and Ah Fat and Lau and CC in ages.
I havent seen or touched Kenn in forever.
But I shall be happy =).

Today I spent an hour trying to log onto wireless internet at Moonstruck, and am feeling particularly annoyed.
Currently hooked onto the song Single by New Kids on the Block & Ne-yo! They are awesome in the music video *swoons*.
Now, it looks gloomy outside. Please don't let it rain, or Imma be a wet duck flopping around in cold.
Yesterday, Bestie and I were/are disappointed and heartbroken by the people around us. Illinois is making my heart harden. Okay, not Illinois. Just...
people. In the beginning, I couldn't fathom why
people can be full of complexities, so multi-
faceted, so... repulsive. I'm smirking at the cafe, and concluding that that's the way life is. Fate probably has some way of hitting me in the head to wake me up, to remind me not be so giving to anyone, everyone, anymore. Bestie and I are too tired of disappointments.
2 girls in front of me, giggling about their boyfriends and thinking aloud about marriages for the past 2 hours, and how Genesis, God, play a part & what not. Part of me's shaking my head and scoffing at their disillusionment about getting married early, not having enough money, them being giddy, head over heels in love with their boyfriends. Being together with your boy for 2 years
does not mean it's more than enough dating time = perfect timing to get married.
Oh my, when did I become a cynic.
I think, in a time not too long ago, I still believed in romance, flowers, marriage, happiness, flying cupid hearts. Well, Kailing and JJ still made me believe sweet, giddy love still exists =). I am happy with Kenn, but we arent as mushy, lovey-dovey as Bestie and her boy, or Cyn and Wei.
I can't wait to go home. Still. After 2 months. I want to be able to be nice and giving, and loving to all my friends and family like I'm used to, and not get smacked in the face by ugly sights & to be used by people.
Oh well. Shopping for people earlier just made me a wee bit happier. =)

I conclude that I love stay-overs at Bestie's room. Chatting with Lindy, Awyong, Kailing, made me miss Miami, when all 5 girls bummed around and laughed endlessly on our bunk beds.
Hanging out with Zr, Shao Chun, Ling and Awyong at Moonstruck after Death Cab, reminiscing about Tetris, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Star Search, Tamagotchis... We laughed so hard I swore our sides ached.
Not seeing Kailing today feels uber weird. Like how not seeing Cyn for 1 day last year, made me feel kinda empty inside.
I don't think I'll ever regret coming over to U of I. =)

Today, I had 2 small lattes from Espresso Royale, and spent a good 25minutes defaecating in the loo. It was a stomach-churning, loud-farting period of time that I am not proud skipping lesson for.
I still love coffee though.
Imma have a hard time lugging back all my stuff back to Singapore.
Sleepy I am.

And now,
I am feeling quite tired of everything around me.
People, their actions, feelings, masks, chatter.
Irksome.
Cyn, Kenn, Jie, Farand.
Wherefore art thou?

Last night, when Kenn initiated talking to me online, and i saw the words "I miss you" on the screen, I secretly melted into a muddle of Rachel-goo. Missing everything about him. Morning cycles along East Coast Park to Carl's Junior for awesome breakfast, watching funny videos on his desktop, taking 36 bus to catch movies at Cathay, and just gazing into that handsome face. The simplest, most mundane things in life, can ignite a warm blissful glow in our hearts.
Chatted with Cynthia online, and wish I were next to her, so our secret withdrawal symptoms that are currently smacking us into loner-hood, will--> BEGONE! Wei is right, being away from Cyn Baby, the one person whom I have spent a year loving, learning from, laughing with, listening to, doting on, hanging out in school with, is affecting me quite a bit. I miss you tons, Cyn baby!
I wish I could be at Tekong to see my male self off to the hard throes of NS life. It is only the beginning for him, and I wish him all the best! Missing you to death too, Farand!
Every day, I thank
Goddess of Mercy for bringing Bestie and I together on this trip. Albeit being in the same Group in NBS, and her roomie being Cyn's B2, I never knew her until now. Every day, the same responses we express, the exact timing of our observations that come out of our mouths, the same look we give each other when we feel strongly towards certain people and actions... Makes me wonder how fate and serendipity synergise together, and allow people to be intertwined in one another's lives so suddenly, so coincidentally; Somehow pick out the right set of individuals to meet, let them click with much ease, and then cause them to be in utter awe at new-found similiarities of one another. Even though we have so much fun every day, and utter the same words, adore the same pretty things which catch our eyes first, predict each other's thoughts, I can never have enough of you, Kailing! =)
I am thankful that I've made an awesome friend through Meiling. Again, if fate weren't at work in instigating me to go along with Mei and fetch you from Folletts in the wee hours of the morning 2 months ago, things may be very different now. Thank you for your teas, the free rides, for listening to my rants and complaints here!
Today, I spoke to more people (Jen and Christina) and like them alot! Shopping at Coach outlet, savoring frozen cheesecake topped with chocolate layer, Miracle perfume set, books, calendars reaffirmed my need for retail therapy to get away from monotony of life. My luggage is now filled up with U.S purchases! Awesomeness. Apple picking & Chicago musical tomorrow; Death Cab for cutie on Sunday.
HOU HAPS! =)

My new pretty checkered shoes caused the back of my feet to BLEED! I am in pain and sulky, heartbroken, and have to live with a blood-soaked pair of shoes. Tests today were not easy either! Oh well. I love hanging out with Yiling and bestie, chatting about our favorite foods, where we should hang out when we reach Singapore again, laugh at anything, everything under the chilly winds/non-existent sun here.
Chicago this weekend! Awesome stuff! =)
