Headaches have moved swiftly up the list of most hated illnesses and pains, defeating my all time champions, cramps and runny nose.

The migraine I had the other day nearly killed me. (Okay, slightly exaggerated.) But it was BAD. Half the time, I had to quell the raging urge to bang my head on the wall or perhaps take something more portable to hit that time bomb ticking in my brain. Yes, I could practically hear it tick inside my grey matter. Usually when I have bad headaches - and because I am allergic to all the readily available painkillers - mummy would rub lavender oil into my temples and scalp. The ache would persist, but only just for a little while. This time, it wouldn't go away. I was just about ready to weep over the unfairness of not being able to ingest Panadol. Yep, sorry. Just for the few hours, I hated all you panadol-aspirin eating members of the society. What's worse, it started from the forehead, spreaded to the sides and then simply consumed the whole of my head. To sum it all up, I had a mother of all headaches and I wanted to die.

Next time when you tell me you have a headache, I promise I will never placate you by saying a few comforting words. I'm not going to take it lightly. Ever. Just don't let me expericence that again. Spare me the agony please. *pained*


I just flooded my player with pieces from La Corda d'Oro ~primo passo~

It's a fabulous anime, fantastic soundtrack. The classical pieces are superb, with my all-time favourite Schubert's Ave Maria. I'm slightly obsessed in my own opinion. I have five different versions of Ave Maria in my playlist now. Two from La Corda - one violin solo by Hino in the concours and the violin duet that Hino and Len played. One by Helen Fischer where she sang that song beautifully in German, another by Linda Brava whose violin is equally amazing and the final one by Connie Talbot, the little girl from Britain's got Talent.

Other awesome and equally famous pieces are Chopin's Tristesse and Etude in E major Op.10 No.3, Mozart's Violin Concerto No.3 in G major (Allegro), Schubert's Schwanengesang, Boccherini's Cello Concerto in B-flat minor etc etc. There's a tremendous amount of good classics there. *falls in love* Oh and you'll definitely be charmed by the violin and trumpet duet for Gossec's Gavotte in the anime. Really lively and fun!

Awww. I'm curbing the urge to genuflect.

Attended Angel's 21st birthday party at Labrador Park, next to the Villa Seafood Galleria. The surroundings were breathtaking. It was an absolutely splendid location for a splendid celebration. *thumbs up*

Not really in the mood for words tonight - plus I still have my books to go back to - so I'll let the pictures say it all tonight. (:

( An Angel's 21st <3 )

Saturday was the start of Japanese I4 class. I was in trepidation mode the whole week, wondering if I'll be able to get used to a new teacher and his new methods of conducting the lessons. I'm not sure if it was just the first lesson, but Sekizawa-sensei went on and on like a bullet train that lost its brakes. I could barely write anything down, much less be able to fire questions regarding the lesson. I was so filled with doubts, but there simply wasn't a moment of pause which I could interrupt. *sobs* He really needs to slow down so people can board the train. I can only cross my fingers and hope, otherwise I might have to approach him after lessons. Argh.

Something traumatising happened after classes, which I shall not specifically mention here. If you're interested you can ask me personally for all the dirty details. Lols.

I went to Beng's birthday chalet on Saturday as well. It was fun seeing the bunch of peeps again - although it was a shame that Ying wasn't there. I was hoping to catch up with her. Haven't talked to her in a long long while. YING! LUNCH SOON ALRIGHT! XD We didn't last through the whole night, because many of them had to work the next day, so we crashed rather early. I didn't manage to go for the second day celebrations - which meant that I missed the cake-cutting session. Ugh. My only consolation was that I have already wished him on Saturday. Still..... Sorry Beng X/



I saw the army guys' botak heads! HEHE. Aisheng was super sensitive about his new haircut. Knowing our group, that just made it worst. *evil*

The entire scene of the study this morning repeatedly played through my head the entire day today.

I still can't believe I actually fell for it. To tell the truth I did question the particular circumstance, but somehow I managed to convince myself that perhaps they are all excuses for something I don't want to admit to. Something deep, dark and ugly deep down that fed off my uncertainty and the almost non-existent faith in the being that I've groomed for the past twenty years.

Perhaps I do have reasons that could justify myself, but I still feel kind of dumb.

These few weeks have been a crazy rush of activities. The LPS guys enlisting into army (anticipating the moment I can see them with their new crewcuts!), dinner with the jap class girls, presentations, German vocabulary test, project meetings, tennis with Weide, tuition, CrazyCups at Suntec, MNO studies and the dreaded German semester test.

The listening test for German exam was outrageous. The speed at which they went blows the mind literally. Out of the 3-5minutes of conversation, I barely picked up five sentences. What's more, I could merely note down specific words - not even sentences! After the listening - which was the first part of the exam - I was fast becoming depressed. Then when I realised that most of the topics that I concentrated on didn't appear, the determination to salvage the paper tore into shreds and shot straight for the bin. BAH.

However! Despite all the demoralising events, there's a little place in my heart that is still cheerful. Hehe.
