I am weary, and I a stranger,
Lead me to the land of angels.
Be my eyes in time of darkness,
Be my shield against host of faery,
Be my wings till I find my home.

I have been experimenting with photoshop, and this is the result.... To this.... :)
From this...
Hmm, considering that I spend each day sitting in front of a computer, I've actually been deciding on creating a "proper" blog, as in, a genuine online diary where I can really splatter any random thoughts that go through my head. You see, there really isn't much point in my continuation of my diary, considering that it now has morphed into daily letters to a certain special someone. So my basic reason to have a diary would be to relieve mindless rantings rather than to be coherent. Shall think about it.
I've gotten my interview date anyhow, but I think it's rather worrying, because it's too late. Not that being late is bad, just that I think they might have gotten all the potential scholars they need, then you know, just shoved me in at the back so I look like I wasn't forgotten. Makes sense, considering that a person who works here told me they give people with better scores, i.e. people on their priority list earlier interview dates. So I think I can kiss UCL goodbye?
Which isn't a totally terrible idea, considering....
School was fun today...I think the students are pretty interesting...looking forward to teaching them! Though I guess it's maybe only because the teacher keeps a pretty tight rein on them?
On a more depressing note, I have been rejected by 2 scholarship boards. Ouch. NUS, here I come...I hope.
I think I shall be worried now. My scholarship application was referred to MOE only YESTERDAY, when everyone else has already gotten their interview dates. According to a colleague, they seperate the interview sessions by grades - so if you had 4 As and 2 S papers you would be called earlier.
What on earth is wrong with me that I am so delayed?
The indescribable agony of missing a call from someone dear to your heart. TWICE.
I'm not sure if I'm ok. I'm not sure if I'm going to be ok.
What is the definition of life?
Lessons I have learnt this week
Sigh...I am happy that I can go to tioman with huimin (and hopefully xuhua) over the weekend, but I also wish I was not free during the weekends like I have been these four months..ok.
Nothing much is happening. But a new colour printer came to the office today, can you believe that it's actually as tall as my waist? It looks like a photocopier....Also, this teacher came back with her 1 month old baby...why must the parents give cakes to people and not the other way round?
Huimin...if you are going to learn scuba diving with your father..I actually don't mind learning as well..haha...
I shall attempt to wear my contact lenses every day this week. Although I realise that it isn't uncomfortable anymore, I'm still a little spooked by the contact lens contamination cases.
The point is, in tioman it's difficult to get from village to village because you must go by boat, which you may get cheated. Whereas in redang there is NO village, haha.
They both take 11 hours too.
Accomodation for 3 Days and 2 Nights (weekdays): $175
This includes:
- 3 snorkelling trips
- all meals
- boat transfer
Bus terminal to jetty transfer (both ways): $9
2 way bus fare: $72
Extra expenses (insurance, life jacket, conservation fee): is $50 too much?
Total cost for 1 person: $306
Huimin, shall we?
it's not the years in your life that count,
but the life in your years.

And in the end,
On |ove`*
And now I will show you the most excellent way:
If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
