Swing, swing
Ending the second week of school already, and lolz having classes with friends really makes everything better. So much for #loner4lyfe ahahah. In Creative Thinking class we had to make name tents (basically tents which show your name for the prof and class to see) and there was this girl who made a swing out of straws, and it wasn't especially outstanding, but it stuck in my mind.
Never mind about the straws, but she said, "Life's like a swing, it has its ups and downs."
And what I think about this -- as long as you keep putting in effort, it will always has its ups. And the downs, they don't have to be a depressed kind of down. Just a chill, laidback period with nothing going on; that's a good down for me.
School in general has been going well so far. Profs are all pretty kewl, mods are interesting, groupmates are fun. And attendance is taken for nearly all the classes so I guess I'll have to go for them.... which is good motivation to correct my skipping behavior lol.
Sigh. Still can't correct my late nights tho, or maybe it's really because I don't want to. There's a kind of peace you get only at night, midnight, when you know it's just you and your thoughts.
And the occasional mom waking-up-to-pee-but-ends-up-nagging nag. ;\
Ok time for Acad Writing homework bleh :( Nights!

New year, new things to mull over (yay!)
Lmao okay justtt kidding, not going to start my year with an awful sulky post. I ended 2012 pretty happily (on hindsight). Hindsight because, while they hadn't been the greatest things to go through, the aftertastes were sweet, lolol.
Went to Taipei from 20-27 December with my parents and 2nd bro! It was freezing, mom and I were coughing our lungs our majority of the time, bro was throwing his stupid adult tantrums, dad smoked like 10 packs and finished two bottles of liquor, but -- we had a great time. And I really appreciate and thank God for it. There were many things to worry about, but they became the good parts of this trip (: Firstly, my parents aren't on good terms, so it really came as a surprise when they got along well together during the trip. I mean... I actually felt warm in my heart looking at them, for the first time in my entire life.
And then there's my mom's knee injury (less than a year back, she crushed her kneecap from a fall) which I was worrying would cause her to have difficulty moving around, but wow, no it didn't. I felt so happy to have helped her around, supporting her down stairs, looking out for uneven ground she may stumble over. It felt like what it should -- a child, now an adult, caring for her parent who's grown old. Perhaps my mom was hiding it from us before, Idk, but after we returned to Singapore she's started to whine about it hurting LOL. Something about Taipei is magical....?
Then on the 29th, I went as a spectator to the AVFC (Asian Varsity Fencing Competition), organized by our very own SMU fencing club!!!, and it was really enriching. International level fencers pitting their skills against one another and I got the front row view ok! All the zaikias. Then on the 30th, we had a fencing Christmas party at Sentosa Cove (the house was amazing, I can't even....) and there was hilarious shit thanks (or no thanks) to the alcohol. It was fun, but I'm not sure I wanna stay in such a big house permanently... Doesn't it get lonely?
And on the last day.... Tsk. Was supposed to meet the 1013 clique for countdown but cancelled because it started raining. Bummer. And so I bummed around at home. Which... was really quite fun by my standards. LOL.
Yup that sums up my happy end of 2012~
New year resolution? BE LESS OF A SLOTH.
.......... nah I doubt it.
Twitter: "The gym will be especially crowded today with people who will then give up on their new year's resolution like, three weeks later."
Me: I bet five bucks it's three DAYS later, cmon.
Kbyeeee I guess the least I could do is try to sleep earlier... NIGHTS n_n
