Mood: Rejected, but recovered
Song: Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

My self-sacrificing spirit overwhelmed me on the 1st day of school, and I voluntarily signed up for NTU's Flag Day today. What a major, astronomical letdown. I've never gotten rejected so many bloody times in my life (well, maybe I have, but not to such a gigantic extent in one single afternoon of 3 hours), and I've seen how miserly people can get. Oh well, I have to readily admit that I am one of those aforementioned at times. But when I am the one soliciting funds, they really pissed me off great time. To translate, I am never going to do this again in my lifetime. At least I had Alvin to accompany me through my rounds, and the end of day treat at Billy Bomber's was somewhat encouraging, though I was feeling rather bloated after skiving off for coffee at Pacific Coffee Company in the afternoon to really enjoy my mushroom burger. Oh well, lesson learnt.

I'm beginning to adapt to campus life, and I gotta say that my course people seem friendly enough, however competitive they might be. I've yet to inculcate the spirit in me, but I guess I will have to do it soon, or I'll be clutching at straws at the end of the semester. Glad I do not have tutorials tomorrow, thereby warranting me a full day of rest. I think I really need one right now after today's fundraising fiasco.

Mood: Apprehensive
Song: Expose - As Long As I Can Dream

School's starting next week, and I'm still emotionally unprepared. I guess being conscripted for 2 bloody years and 3 months somehow made me a more sceptical person, what with the prevalent backstabbing and badmouthing in the office. I'm sure gonna expect loads of the abovementioned, but maybe to a less fatal magnitude. *shrugs* Perhaps like what Vincent said, I'm someone who's always full of agony, like I'm perpetually writhing in mental pain. Or to put it more blunt and blatant (in my own words), a complainer. Oh well, I guess I'd better thank my lucky stars, especially since Dad "volunteered" to drive me to school on days when I've got morning lectures, (though the destination's closer to his office than moi institution, and I am NOT a complainer) thereby saving my transport fees to buy more frivolous stuff. Ha Ha.

Which brings me to the problem of my dwindling bank balance, my overgrowing excessive expenditure and my allowance. I'm not sure Dad's so "altruistic" in the monetary sense. Hmmm... I will stick to my resolution. Not a complainer.

Some new news. Some gal called Veronica approached me at the salon today to ask me to be one of her hair show models for the students' graduation night for Toni & Guy Academy on National Day's eve. And it'll be at Centro, which I haven't been to for some time. Am I supposed to be elated? Just hope the rehearsals this Saturday won't bore me to death. At least I've got Sean and Val for company as they will be models too, but for some other stylist from India or something (LOL). I will not be racist. She's a nice girl (and I don't know her!)

Gotta go. Off to meet Minlee for bag shopping... I will save money some other day, as usual, being the innate procratinator that I am.

Mood: Lethargic
Song: Diana DeGarmo - I Believe (Single)

Had a whale of a time last night. I was expecting to be bored (or somewhere along those lines, no offence) at Jamie's birthday party, but it turned out much better than I anticipated. First there was the hurried rush from my grandma's place (I wish I owned a car sometimes) to my home to get showered and changed before meeting SK at the station. Nonetheless I was still 5 minutes late. It added on to further waiting at Hotel Phoenix's lobby for Ting and Rolaine. Oh well, the 'if onlys' started forming in my head, but I will not take heed. There was also the frantic discussion of how we were going to "escape" discreetly from the games segment during the party. Haha... Turned out we didn't have much to fear.

Anyway, the food was sumptious (had never eaten so much fried crayfish at one go), meeting my college mates was great and getting to know some new people was an eye-opener (judging on how anti-social I can be at times). Games weren't too bad. I got "volunteered" to act the part of the villain, and thank goodness I was "killed", therefore spared the excruciating role of having to propose to the "princess". LOL. And I've never met such a sex-crazed host in my life. Also found out that Gary was going Redang early August, and haha... spent some time detailing my experience to him. Wish I had done the whole party thing when I turned 21, but then the thought of seeing my not-so-sporting relatives and parents playing games on stage (???!!!)... maybe I should just shelf the thought.

Went to Zouk ahd Phuture after the party. We had wanted to go China Black at first, but there was a bloody snaking long queue outside (even though it was already 12.30am), and we didn't know any nearby parking lots for Gary's car, so we swiftly changed our minds. The music at both Zouk and Phuture was rather disappointing though. They played mostly trance, which really bored us. I can still remember the only 2 hip-hop and pop tune remixes were Beyonce's Naughty Girl and that song from the Kill Bill OST (can't recall the title). Oh well, at least we had fun dancing and playing guessing games at the expense of other people's leftover beers. Haha... Cheapo instincts kicking in.

Damn, it's gonna rain, and I need to get to town today.
