RAEVILLE

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

APEC weekend was spent bumming in the city at Kwan's place with herself and Kathy. Beside the fact that we did absolutely nothing productive, we went shopping (where I spent over $400 on clothes and a new fragrance), did alot of walking around, explored the expanding ability of our stomachs to a great extent, had a taste of Kathy's wonderful Kim Chi Bo Gum Bab (unsure of spelling, please excuse -- Kimchi fried rice) had a big sukiyaki dinner at Nom's place, drank (at least I did) a fair bit of alcohol and became great buddies with the employees at VideoEzy in the course of four days.

Oh yes, it was greaaaat fun. The money I spent on clothes was for the Year 12 staff-student dinner next Wednesday. I bought a pair of Nudie skinny jeans, which is something very new to me -- but I vowed myself to make a change to my wardrobe, so I've been in such a shopping mood. God bless my father and the credit card he gave me.

It was funny too, during the long weekend Kwan, Kathy and I would be sitting in the living room of Kwan's apartment playing NinDS, watching movies, eating choco-pie and various Korean treats, and surfing the internet at 50 kilobytes per second -- and every 10 minutes we'd hear protests happening somewhere in the city, echoing throughout. Couple of minutes later, we'd hear police sirens wailing, and the protests would quiet down.

Things seem to be moving very quickly. I'm afraid of how much time I've missed out on studying, and how time seems to be moving too fast to catch up with. At the same time, I'm feeling very excited at the prospect of the end of school and the start of a new beginning that is soon to come. I've been counting the days. We have thirteen days left of Year 12 - of school life. Two weeks later, we'll all be sitting for the exams that will lead us into the next road of life. Another two weeks later, I start my 3-4 month holiday.

And it's stressing sometimes, when I think about it. What if I don't do well in exams? I don't seem to be working hard now - does that mean it's all over for me in the next month and a bit? What if I don't get into the university course I want? Where to after that?

Sigh, damn these transitions of life.

Cheers.

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
