The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... NOT!!

I'm ill. AGAIN. just got well from the flu last week and now i've got something worse. think i had a fever the other night and my whole body was aching so bad i felt like i had just run a marathon. not that i've ran in one before but i suppose that is how an unfit like me would feel like after all that exercise. but i digress. now i have a blinking sore throat that hurts so damn bad i feel like someone just burnt a hole in my throat. gahhhh. how am i supposed to enjoy all the christmas foodie goodies when swallowing's a bitch. my nose and even ears are blocked too. sigh. i want my turkey, ham and all the other stuff.

mom and brother going shopping later but cause i ain't feeling too good i'm staying home. boooo.

y'know, christmas is a great time to use the common expressions 'hoho' and 'bah'. now they take on greater significance being linked to santa and scrooge.

On Disappointment (Part two)

"At first it can be very hard to accept how disappointing life is because that's what it is and you have to accept it. With faith and time and hard work you reach a point... where the disappointment doesn't hurt as much, and then it gets actually easy to live with. Quite easy. Which is in its own way a disappointment. But. There."

Rent me a Little Prince

caught The Little Prince today! hee. it was so fun! there were many many kids there and they got restless after awhile and started making lots of noise. but i guess that's just something you have to accept if u wanna watch a kids play. hur. anyways! it was time well spent cause the show was funny, thought provoking, i liked the actors, and the costumes were gorgeous!

there was a Q and A after the show, but nobody asked any questions so the actors asked us what we thought happened to the little prince in the end.

what the kids thought...
"he grew up!"

"he went home!"

what the grown ups were thinking but didn't wanna say...

"he died!"

In contrast to The Little Prince (which only cost 16bucks!), Rent was so boring people actually fell asleep. it was going on and on forever (about 2.5hrs) and i just wanted to get out. the singing was good though. i'll give them that. oh and kallang theatre really sucks cause they always let people in even if they are friggin half an hour late! it's bloody irritating when there are people walking around blocking your view and ushers shining their torches all over. for heaven's sake, just let em stand at the back till intermission. they deserve it. bah. i'm just glad i didn't have to pay for my ticket.

i bought a monkey today. a stuffed toy monkey, that is. he's damn cute and feels furry and nice. he's really flexible, so i make him do tricks like flipping over and stuff. i like him, so i hung him on the handle of my drawer. i thought i'd name him mr. monks cause it sounds funny. but now i've decided to call him marcel. after Ross's (from friends!) monkey! marcel!

and now it's back to my books.

On Mess

my room's in an amazing mess. it looks like a junkyard/ war zone. like a hurricane just made a visit. i can't see the floor. i have to walk over stuff to get to my bed. when i get to my bed i have to throw stuff off it so i can have space for myself. i can't see my tabletop cos it's littered with paper and books and chocolate wrappings. hur. it's quite unbelievable, really. best part is, i don't have time to clear the mess.

but i have time to blog about it.
