Curls & Twirls

Urgghhh… i hate it!!! I just had an absolutely wonderful weekend, only to be brought back once again to the monotonous reality of my life! Why is it the weekend goes by so quickly and then the week drains every ounce of energy you have left in your system ?

Today’s theme is I HATE.

But considering what a fantabulous weekend I had, I shall dedicate quite a bit of today’s blog to it. Well, on Friday, Liza & Rosanne, 2 of my good friends in Holland, flew down to visit me. I must admit, I was dreading the weekend A LITTLE. Mainly because I hadn’t seen them for 2 whole freaking years and I was wondering if it was going to be all weird and awkward. But of course, this small little whiny worry of mine took up but a nano-fraction of my enthusiasm. I was seriously excited about seeing them!

And it turned out to be even better than I expected. In fact, it didn’t seem like that long ago that we had said goodbye. I mean, besides the fact that my Dutch was a little rusty, I didn’t remember them as being quite so tall and the fleeting few silent moments when we didn’t know what to say ~ it seemed as though we picked up just where we left behind. And although I had fun doing all the touristy stuff with them, what I liked a lot more was all the catching up. It was really nice to hear about all the things that had happened since I left, who got together with who, who’s doing what, etc. It reminded me of the life I left behind, a life I had never really realized I missed that much.

It’s really strange ~ I think I have a habit of pushing out of memory anything I really miss. Perhaps it’s the easiest way I deal with it. Right up to last Friday, I truly believed that I didn’t really ‘belong’ in Holland. I mean, I lived there for a year but was never really part of the people there. And suddenly, in just a matter of days, my opinion has suddenly changed completely. In the weekend, I’ve spent my nights recalling the moments I had spent in Assen, Drenthe … and a very strange, nostalgic feeling settled in my stomach. Not the bitter-sweet kind where you feel "yeah yeah, it was nice but that’s the past, and I’ve moved on and I don’t really want to go back." It was a more sickening kind, where you feel "Man, why didn’t I enjoy those moments more? Why can’t I go back! Why can’t I see what I’ve missed out on!"

Now, this is really unexpected because just the other day I met up with a childhood friend of mine ~ one whom I had not seen for about a year, and whom I’ve known since I was, hmm, perhaps ten ? And although we’ve known each other for so long ~ and don’t get me wrong, I had a fun night out with him, but at the end of the night, I didn’t have any bitter-sweet-sour-salty, whatever, you name it, kinda feeling. My theory is, there are certain people whom you can get along with completely, and still not have half as much fun as with someone else, although you might find that someone else to have a terribly irritating trait! I like to call this x-factor "frequency". I’m sure most of you know my famous quote "I like people with the same frequency". Somehow, you just have fun with these certain people, and however much time and distance there is between you, you can pick up just where you left off.

This has proven my theory that distance makes you unfamiliar very very VERY WRONG. Well, I don’t know when I came up with this theory, but I know somewhere along the way I became a strong believer that if you did not see someone for a long time, you just somehow could not click as well with that person. There would be too much that had happened, too much differences, too much of a void. But I’ve been seriously wrong. And since this weekend was the ultimate test (2 years of absolutely NO verbal communication!), I can only conclude that frequency is the deciding factor. No matter where you go, people of the same frequency will gather together! Hahaha. That sounds so corny, but I really think it’s true.

Oooh..I’ve overshot. Well, the reason I really wanted to blog was because I HATE I HATE DOING WORK! I know, I also hate reading blogs where people whine continuously about the stress they are going through because *Really, i wish you’d put somehting of more substance in your blog*, but *ahem*, I shall succumb to the ways of society. I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Just today I wrote down all the deadlines/tests for the next few weeks and TAKE A LOOK AT THIS:

30 Jan - Molecules, Cells & Diseases Progress Test
10 Feb - Computing Coursework Due
13 Feb - Electromagnetics Progress Test
17 Feb - Transistor Switching Lab Report Due
24 Feb - "Biomedical Application of Electromagnetics" project due
2 Mar - Mathematics Midterm Exam
3 Mar - Solid & Fluid Mechanics Coursework due
17 Mar - Molecules, Cells & Diseases Lab report due
24 Mar - SPICE lab report due

WAHHHHH… do you know what that means?? THat means, from next week onwards, I HAVE A TEST/ASSIGNMENT DUE EVERY WEEK. SUXSUXSUXSUXSUX. And this goes on till the freaking term ends. And then we end for our easter break. But THEN, we return a week only to be greeted by a nice dose of FINALS. Euw. How do they expect us to be well-rounded individuals when they don’t even give us a chance at having a social-life ?

Okay, moving on to the next thing I HATE. I hate the fact that I have been drained off any form of creative juice. Have you noticed that I’ve hardly been blogging ~ and even the last few blogs have been leeched off other people’s work?? Hehe. (Well, at least I don’t claim credit for it, ok!) And that’s one of the sad reasons I have resorted to writing something so lame as "I HATE".

I HATE friendster because I just realized they have been deleting my old posts!!! Wahh..all my painstaking effort has just disappeared into thin air. Therefore, I have resolved to MOVE to another blog where people who are not Friendster members can also view it and LEAVE COMMENTS, damnit.

I hate it when my posts don’t have any comments. I feel neglected.

I HATE that I must stop whining my ass off and actually start studying for the stupid MCD test.

OOh..and happy b’day Jason!! HEehee. (NO! I don’t hate you!)
