It has been a long, long while since I've updated and my typing and writing skills have depreciated greatly. The Singapore weather hasn't killed me yet and I'm just enjoying the end of year monsoon season. However, the constant rain can prove to be a pain in the butt. It doesn't help that my house is not very near the MRT.
Been spending time with Dear and helping him clear his annual leave and off days! Haha. He saved all his leave for me. -beams- We've watched so many movies lately, not all of them are good though. Golden Compass was rather disappointing. Sigh. We've also been eating, eating and eating! I think I put on a ton of weight! I've been trying to eat three proper meals but I can't. I feel hungry every minute. Or if I restrict myself to three meals, I eat ALOT per meal. Oh well, I need some exercise. Can't wait for the monsoon season to end so that we can go swimming! Haha. It's risky to plan for a swimming session when it rains nearly every day.
We've also been going on a Stitch and Spiderman hunt! Now, he has a Stitch sitting by his bed every night and a Spideyman still in its box. But the hunt still goes on. We need to go to Disneyland! Haha. Orchard Road, pouring rain, umbrellas, puddles of water and underpass, all spell disaster on a Saturday afternoon. Dear and I were literally stuck at the Taka, Wisma area while trying to make our way to the cafe. A human traffic jam, in other words, as those without umbrellas clogged up the sheltered area of the underpass, causing a standstill. It was so crazy that we had to turn back and head for shelter in the buildings. Cleaning up the cafe later that night was indeed tiring after the thirty people buffet ended. We all went home tired and bleargh and I woke up with aching limbs the next morning.
I bet it's going to rain later again. The clothes in my cupboard hasn't been refilled yet. Sigh. Grey skies.

Happy Birthday Qian!! Sorry this post is a day late because Dawn is a lazy pig and didn't have the mood to blog yesterday. Finally, 5torm has entered the last year of being a teen. I think I'll miss being a teen once the big twenty comes. I don't know what to expect being one step closer to becoming an adult. No more (or probably less) childish games, no more weird tantrums because an adult takes responsibility of his/her own life. And I know I'm not ready for it. Speak about graduating next year, it sounds terribly exciting but at the same time scary. Even more scary than the after-O' Level transition. I can't imagine -The Real World. In one year.
On another note: Happy twentytwo months my sweetheart! <3 Thank you for everything! I love you! I can't wait to see the "elephant" you got for me. Haha. And of course, I can't wait to see you (:
I'm thinking of shifting to blogger. Should I? Or maybe even LiveJournal. But Dawn is lazy. However, in the long-run, Lazy Dawn will benefit from blogger because she doesn't need to do all the HTML codes herself. Realise her entries only uses a single coloured font? Dead boring. Plus pictures are rare. Very rare. Lazy Dawn can make her entries more colourful with blogger's instant picture uploads (instead of uploading it somewhere else) and nice fonts. But she has grown attached to dreamscape and does not want to abandon it. Dilemma, trilemma. I'll think about it when I'm bored.
Packed up my cupboard the other day. Threw away loads of junk (okay, more like old worksheets) especially from Trinity. But the rate of growth of my university readers and notes is still greater than the rate of stuff that I throw out! How? There's no equilibrium growth! Darn. How do I get the rate of growth of university readers to equal the rate of growth of disposing the other stuff? Oh yes, I can do that by bringing my university readers back to Singapore. Yea, in the ideal world I can, but airlines do not have unlimited baggage weight. Sigh, I sound like a big fan of Solow-Swan and Lucas and economics. Econs makes you go crazy in an ideal world.
Four people turned up for Macro pit-stop today. So much for worrying that there'll be a crowd and I won't get a chance to ask my questions. Either that people are too lazy to come, or the subject is so self-explanatory that only the stupid ones (like me) have to attend such things. Actually, I was also wondering why the pit-stop timings were so short. Even first year econs subjects have longer pit-stops than this. Oh, pit-stops are specified timings for you to go and ask a tutor questions during the study period. Well, so shorter pit-stop timings means the lecturer predicted that not many people will go, which means the subject is easy because no one has questions! Argh. I can't imagine 3rd year Micro and Macro. I'll probably chop my head off halfway. I just hope I pass this paper.
Can I dream that dream again?
07 November, 2007 I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Can I not study?
[edit]: ZOMGOMG! The Golden Compass is FINALLY showing soon!

I'm addicted to this song called Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy. It has probably been around for some time now, but as usual, I'm slow to catch up with new songs. The lyrics are kind of depressing but Alison Sudol sings just so well! I feel like getting her album, unless someone downloads it for me. *Grins* Oh right, I just checked Wikipedia and it said that the album One Cell in the Sea was released on 17th July this year. Hmm, not too long ago.
Argh, first paper tomorrow and I'm blogging. I spotted topics so I'm hoping that they'll come out if not I'll just kill myself. One essay to hand in tomorrow and another on Tuesday. Then my time will be solely dedicated to Macro.
Did I tell you? The boyfriend bought a new laptop a few weeks ago and it has an inbuilt webcam! I'm so happy =) MSN keeps disconnecting it though, but it's better than nothing! How I adore modern technology. Oh, and I forced him to download Skype. Heh. But my internet connection is slow so it still gets fuzzy most of the time. It's so funny when he smiles to himself when he talks to me online but the thing is that he doesn't realise till I tell him so. And it causes me to melt in front of my laptop. Haha. How I wish I can just pull him out of my laptop screen and push him back before he gets charged for being AWOL. Oh well. I'm going home soon and I can't wait! Then of course, the webcam and Skype becomes redundant. Heh. But somehow I still miss him even though he's right beside me. The thousands of miles apart sure doesn't help.
This semester has passed really quickly and soon third year will be over. I'm excited about next year but also afraid that it might not turn out well. I can foresee that econs will be a killer. Therefore, my arts subjects will be something which I can turn to prevent me from hating to go to school. Haha. Don't get me wrong, I love econs but sometimes it just gets too complicated - like the world that its trying to explain. Haha.
Due to short attention span, I shall stop blogging for now. Laters!
You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

Driving test was over on Friday (: FINALLY. I think I was subconsciously stressed the whole week even though I knew I wasn't thinking about it. Thanks to the superbly nice tester if not I think I would have failed. If I were the one testing myself, I seriously would have failed Dawn on the spot. Haha. Thank goodness he considered the nerves. Yes, my legs were shivering and I couldn't control anything properly. Argh. I was driving super well just before the test and during the test it was all gone :( Oh well, I'm happy that I finally got that long awaited card!
Ate alot with Yun and Charlyn after that! Krispy Kremes and coffee is a killer. I think I had a sugar rush after eating nearly one box of chocolate Pocky, an egg custard bun and then an original glazed with coffee. My head didn't do too well after that but it was a fun day again with both of them (: Last night, we ate cake that Yingwan bought and the chocolate one nearly killed me all over again. Am I allergic to sugar? It makes me head ache and spin at the same time. How sad is that. I want my dark chocolate.
Happy twentyone months last Saturday Dear! I love you! I'm not very timely, I know. Haha.

Yesterday marked the start of my last "teen" year and it was one of the best ever! I haven't taken any pictures from Charlyn and Barb yet so I'd probably post them up next time if I'm free. Can't believe that next year will be the big TWO. Sigh, I'm getting really old somehow. Haha. How about being "twenteen"?
Saturday was spent out with Three Crazy Girls! They surprised shocked me too many times! Haha. First, we were supposed to meet Charlyn at her house and supposedly she was "late". So the other two said we should look around ALDI (a supermarket below Charlyn's apartment) while we "wait" for her. Well, nothing too suspicious about that cos Charlyn's not always early *ahem* HEHE. Then Charlyn called and said to meet her in Melbourne Central. I was like HUH how come she went off without us when were waiting for her downstairs! And the other two crazy girls acted blur as well and said they didn't know. So we waited for her under the clock at Melbourne Central. Suddenly, Charlyn popped out of nowhere and stuffed a HUGE bunch of flowers under my nose! I seriously got a shock la! Haha. But THANK YOU =) The flowers were preeeeeetty! XD
After that we went for dim sum at Shark's Fin House! YUMMY!! We ate and ate and ate until I nearly burst into a million pieces! We kept asking the super busy manager to help us take pictures and he kindly accepted even though he was busily running around! We wanted to go to Barb's Crepe place after that but obviously we were way too full for dessert. So we went SHOPPING =) Wanted to get this dress from Supre but I figured it wasn't worth fifty bucks. But I bought two tops from Valleygirl! YAY! Dawn is a happy girl! Our first shopping trip after mid-sem break and we all bought stuff! Also super happy that I managed to buy the boyfriend's birthday present even though his birthday is monthssss later =D Then, we all decided to split and do our own stuff. So I went back thinking it was the end of celebration.
And who knows at the stroke of midnight, some CRAZY PEOPLE came knocking banging on our door! Haha. Yea, they surprised me with cakes from Brunetti's! YAY! Kudos to them cos I didn't suspect a thing. And we took more crazy senseless photographs under the direction of Charlyn Ng. Somehow she and Barb were super high and couldn't stop talking the whole night! And what time was it already! Boy, was I tired, but I couldn't sleep that night!
Talked to my sweetheart after that and received a rather out of tune sweet birthday song from him! =D Stayed home the whole of Sunday to talk to him but his computer kept crashing =( But I got a HUGEHUGE birthday present from him! Though it came a little early before my birthday, but it was worth every single thing! Thank you for everything you've done for me! Love you!
Sunday night, the housemate Yingwan cooked a nice yummilicious dinner for me! YAY!
Thanks to those who celebrated and wished me over the weekend! It was very much appreciated! Especially to my Sweetheart, the Three Crazy Girls, 5torm, and my family, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU because you guys made my day(s)! Haha.
I know my sweetheart was sad that he couldn't be here with me but he called me whenever he could to make sure he was keeping me company =)
Dawn is sure one happy girl =) Pictures next time!
[edit] I forgot to blog about this incident and I realised that I used "Three Crazy Girls" too much till I didn't mention Yun at all! Haha. Anyhoo, Yun was withdrawing money and Charlyn decided to take a photo of me with the bouquet of flowers. So I posed and there was this guy standing behind me in the background. Yun came back and wanted to see the picture and she pointed and said something like, "Aiyoh got one stupid guy standing there." (Note that the guy was STILL standing there and I'm sure if he was listening, he could hear what Yun said) We all looked at her SHOCKED, with our mouths opened and we all ran away! Hahahaha. I nearly died. Not from running, but from laughing! Okay, end of story!
