Mee Siam Mai Hum

Well there is hope I'll cross my 500th post by end-April, drafts included!

A lot of stuff's been going on really, and all I'm really thinking about right now's how disgusting my keyboard is. I swear there's this really thick layer of grime which just doesn't go away no matter how you scrub at it :( I think its why I've been losing like crazy at AOE3, can't hit the hotkeys without wincing like crazy. And I think its to blame for my complexion, except that I spend all of 2 beloved days a week with my desktop which makes it a Logical Fallacy.

I think my projects this year are kind of manageable, and there's real meaning in them. Not to say that the entire gladness of the planet's on me for all the upcoming work, but I suppose life'd be that much emptier otherwise? Probably wouldn't have cleared prelims by a vault, and my groupmates are really, really unlike my 6 previous groups (ahem) cos of the consortia makeup and whatnot, haha. Am quite anticipative of what's to come though, since I probably won't have to be the driving force for either (:

Been sleeping at least five everyday, which is only a significant achievement if you take into account that I haven't really been sleeping in class. I suppose its just plain wrong to be living my hwachong years so radically and completely different from everyone else, with all the special provisions and privileges and whatnot. And yes, its my conscience pricking me. Integration in five days' time, can't say its not worrying me aieee.

There's been a lot of drama and melodrama, we're blowing through crisis after crisis but I think its honestly a mid-life thing. What really matters (as I told a junior) is that we all love the club, and any disenchantment is out of nothing more than recognition that we can be so much more. To those who doubt, we didn't sacrifice all of your training time and whatnot just to have you guys not carry on our proud little legacy. And we won't leave you guys in the lurch (why would we why would we). Don't worry, we're the merriest little band of brothers around, and apart from all the raping and sidetracking you guys are awfully talented, and we'll darn well show them some standard yeah? ;)

Council's going slowly, but its moving at the very least. Last night's ELP talk kind of inspired and disillusioned me at the same time. About basketball and side-benches, hrm. Not exactly convenient to be blogging about it I suppose, but driving the show's driving me nutsssss. Not to mention that proposal I should get around to doing. I think my superego's opposition to it's that it really is an imposition, albeit from a teacher who arguably deserves all manner of respect. It may be transformational in concept and practice, but it wasn't chartered in any way by ourselves. It's kind of like, engaging an external advisor to oversee internal reforms, and taking credit for the reforms. Even if the external advisor's completely altruistic and willing, there's a naggy inertia about it. Will work on it over the weekend anyway I suppose, sigh.

It still amazes me how completely it's died. Like, I still wish you every good, but I somehow can't bring myself to be bothered much anymore. When Greg told me about the antics (someone needs to praise my adeptness at spin and euphemism) I shrugged and whatever'd it. And I actually meant it. Completely prepared to move on now I suppose.

So mundane. Haha someone kill me for blogging like this pl0x :D But I like it, kinda. Its lack of abstraction helps me piece my life together, and hopefully make sense of it. Reading my past 7 posts's made me realise how futile it's going to be trying to figure out what they mean even a month from now.

Shall rest for the weekend, its going to be an insane two weeks ahead :D

ps:
(i have a really really cute display picture now!)
