This is my first time I've experienced such a large mood swing, or a mood swing for that matter. Normally my swings are rather gentle and low in velocity. This time, BAM! It just hit and I decided to pon my Physics lecture to come home. I was pretty cheerful and enthusiastic this morning, I mean, how dead can you be after 10 hours of sleep? Yes, I slept for 10 hours from 7pm to 5am. (Be jealous!) I lost it somewhere between my break and Econs Lecture. Perhaps it's due to the fact that my bloody contact lens refused to focus (AGAIN) or to the fact that the lecturer was 20 minutes late, or because I wanted to pee but was too lazy to move from the lecture theatre to do so, or something my friend said that pissed me off. Crux of the matter is, I hate being unable to control emotions. Heck, I hating losing control of anything.
I'm not a control freak, a control freak is someone who
1)Likes control
2) Has it most of the time
But I only have one quality, I'm always out of control of myself. especially when it comes to work. Maybe I have a higher standard for the level of control I want.
I hat ebeing a perfectionist sometimes, stresses you up.

~Spiders~
What to you is the most fascinating creation on Earth? An array of choices are presented to us. Humans especially, present a tempting choice. I however, find spiders to be highly intriguing. Seeing that these little critters are often 'invading' our space and building their homes like nobody's business, I've had plenty of encounters with these guys over the past few years. From the sadisctic killing of spiders to keeping them as temporary pets, I've always been surprised one way or another on each occasion.
The Killing
My friend, once being very irritated by a spider, decided to use a rather creative way of killing it. She used a piece of sticky tape and conveniently attached the spider to the floor. As we girls were still in shock and disgust, we took a look at the carcass only to find that in the process of being squashed, about a hundred million (ok not so much la) eggs were squeezed out of the spider as well as toothpaste would have been. That was my first time actually seeing minute spider eggs. Talk about caviar.
The Observation
After several dinners at the dining table (which was rare), it came to my attention that our little aracnid friend had made his home right above us. I spent about half an hour craing my neck to see the fella rebuild his nest. It's damn cool! (why else would I stay there for half an hour) IT taught me something, spiders truly are a breed of perfectionists! I think that spider built his web at least 3 times. After completing his web each time, the dissatisfied spider retraced his steps, collecting his excreted silk along the way and rolling it into a ball of white fluff until finally returning to the centre and conviniently releasing the fluff onto our dinner table. Damn cool.. I think watching a spider spin its web is one of the most interesting things. IT's a true display of foresight, planning and architechtural skills. It's something I'll show my kids next time.
Baby sitting One
The first time I kept a spider, I kept it for 4 days. It didn't die, I jsut got tired of catching idiotic ants for it. But here's the interesting thing that happened: One Day 2, my little spider (I think I named it Mimi) moulted! In case you ignorant people don't know what that is, it means it shed its skin. The only other time I had seen this was on a documentary. Imagine the shock when I saw another 'spider' hanging on the web! Bet you guys have never seen a spider skin! Haha!
Baby sitting 2
This tim e my spider didn't moult despite me keeping it for an equally long period. Instead, Fifi( i think) turned out to be an impregnated spider! she laid this HUGE pile of eggs and surrounded them with a soft, thick comfy layer of webbing. And then she sat over them like a king on a throne. Once again, I'd only seen this happen on a documentary. It's really cool to have all these things happen in your own little Brands bottle! But I never saw them hatch, I had no patience and was afraid she'd die on me. I hate it when things die.
Of course I've kept several other spiders for shorter terms too, but these guys were boring. I normally don't keep jumping/fighting spiders, too fast for me. I like the weird exotic looking ones, or fat ones. haha...
Don't you think they're cool??

Hilarious!
All right! My internet's all nice and working! And I realised how much free advertising I've been doing for Nathan Hartono, man, I should be charging! (See it's not me who has paedophilic tendencies!) But anyways, this week has been one hellofa rush! (And it's all thanks to you Cons!)
Anyways, my tagboard's not the only chaotic place in my life right now. MY mouth is a WARZONE. For one, I've had 4 premolars extracted within the apst 2 weeks of which 2 I think are getting infected. This meaning that it hurts like crap and makes me feel realllyy cranky. So don't mind if I snap at you . Secondly, as if sensing the loss of fellow brethren, my upper wisdom tooth has decided to come out and pay it's condolences. And as if disturbing his other grieving molar brothers isn't enough, this idiot has caused my gum to partially detach itself from the other par tof my mouth. It's pretty hard and gross to imagine, but here's the gist of it-It basically feels/looks like a fleshy toilet seat cover. It's extremely disturbing, sore and troublesome and I simply can't wait to remove it. My mum's analogy of it is a foreskin (go check the dictionary if you're clueless) that needs circumcision. SEe, it's not my fault I tend to be uh... crappy some times!
Hence, with a permenant headache and an inability to eat what I want to eat, I anticipate myself to be rather moody and whiney next week. I'll try as hard not to be the latter. I hate whiney people. So try not to irritate me please!! =) Instead, please refer to the previous post to source ways of making me happy! =) Like get Nathan (first name basis!) to serenade to me.. hahha...
I wanted to add photos but am temporarily unable to. Unfortunately I have to keep this short too because I have TONNES of undone homework to finish before tomorrow. :( Love ya people!

Being Happy
This is the first time I find myself having nothing to write. But I shall sit here and force myself to come up with something since I know my FANS request it. heheh.. It's not often that Cons visits my blog, so I shall have to continue enticing her with my wonderful, insightful entries.
I was thinking of what to write about in school today, simply because I didn't want my entry to be another chronological update of my life. Honestly, I think that's not exactly very captivating but as dull as my Physics teacher. (Simply because I get pretty bored reading about other people's daily activities and rants) I know your blog is supposed to be about you, but I prefer using my brain to do the talking instead of my heart(emotions) or my activities.
What horribly written paragraphs, my apologies for I was listening to a rather distracting song.
So let's get down to the crux of the matter-Being happy is good! Now don't you think joy and contentment are such beautiful things? I personally prefer the latter. They actually pretty much come hand in hand. You can't be content without being happy, that unless you wish to be upset and emo. It's so nice when something makes your day, or makes you smile. See! Even seeing the word

Smile
Puts a smile on your face!
:D
Here are somethings that make me smile in school or when I'm having a cranky day. I hate being upset, it makes me moody and nasty to the people around me, turning me into and unpleasant biatch.
1. Understanding/Learning something from my Physics lecture/tutorial.
2. Satisfying a craving that I have during lunch.
3. Talking to a chirpy person.
4. Catching a glimpse of a cute guy.
5. Eating fried rice! The most economical meal in my school!
6. Using a super clean, dry and unused toilet.
7. Having an exceptionally good hair day.
8. Feeling comfortable and just bonding with my class.
9. Being able to spout useful, intellectual jargon during GP
10. Seeing a considerate/gentlemanly/helpful/nice student help our a fellow mate or teacher or whatever. It's nice to see humanity.
So there's a short list taht I could come up with. Things that made me unhappy unavoidably raced through my mind as I was typing this of course and I realised how much easier it was to make me upset than to make me happy. I suppose it's human and we all have insatiable wants.
Try making your own list, and try and make it go past 10. Gives you a brighter (or dimmer)outlook to school life.

Ups and Downs of being back to school
Being back to school has been thoroughly refreshing. It wasn't as bad as I expected and I was surprisingly able to keep up with lectures and tutorials.(meaning that for once I wasn't stoning half the time) It felt good to be brain-fed. Anyways, it was fun looking at the JC1s undergoing Orientation and all the prep talks, everyone says the same thing - It's all way too fast.
Here's a few interesting facts as yet. There are a couple of actors in this batch of freshies! (So exciting!) For one, we have that Chinese actor from I not stupid (Shawn sth) and I just spotted in our ACsian theatre today, that other guy from ABC DJ (the recent failure local comedy) I have no idea what's his name, all I know is that he rocks at acting stupid/retarded.
Sadly Nathan Hartono is still in Barker (darn!) but my friend's mum is his teacher! (he got caught playing with blu-tack in class and fell off his chair!)
MY class... has been rushing around most of the time, I haven't gotten much of a chance to speak to some people lately. But I wan soooo glad to see Mings after so long. Life was really dull when she was gone sitting for supplementary papers.
The food seems yuckier this year.
My timetable rocks and I get to WALK home everyday!! YAY!
And here's a GREAT link, damn cute!!

And my sister's gone.... :(
I'm beginning to not really enjoy CCA, there's so much... detest and hatred around. It affects me really badly.
