I am so tired. Imagine your head is awake and floating and dragging along this sleeping decapitated body.

That's me everyday now.

Tutorial Tuesday wasn't too bad i guess. In other news i have my phone back! And i swear it is heavier than before.

Cars have doors!

I haven't really caught up with work. My mind and body are just in a permanent state of exhaustion.

ALMOST went to TGIFs yesterday. But that fell through and i ended up waiting for free food from BW house party :D Then lepak-ed with Joewie and Andrew for AGES. And got home real late and there is still work to be done.

Learnt some exciting things the past few days :D

I can't really say anything.

Orientation has been crazy overworking and stressful. It has also been pretty fun. I love my OGlings and they're just the best. It's been amusing OGL-ing for BB! And actually quite fun. I guess BB ain't that bad. Just at IHC.

Storyline. What. Can. I. Say. That hasn't been said? Yes we're pretty awesome. I mean i thought a musical was crazy. I shot down a lot of jonny's crazy ideas, but hell, we did some of them anyway.

What i find strange of course is... well, it seems orientation is just as much a big thing for O'teamers as the j1s themselves. In fact, in some cases, more. Many of the storyline-rs weren't all experienced in theatre and for some it's their only chance to do a "production". And yea it's been awesome. Feedback has been fantastic. As a whole, orientation was really good... to be a j1 would've been blissfully carefree.

Now that it's ended... i feel empty. But it's unlike normal PPBs, it's a different feeling. More like a i've done my bloody job kinda feeling. I mean, i admit, i've been pretty jaded about being an OGL for some parts of the preparation. Which is kinda strange i guess. But it was worth it, i guess. But now i've done my job, my duty (ISTJs are duty-fulfillers!), i feel accomplished and.. fulfilled.

As i watch people cry over the end of orientation. Be it because they can't spend time with their subcomms or OGlings as much anymore, i wonder why i am never overcome with such expressive emotions. For storyline: Maybe it's 'cos i've been in quite a few productions that i've been desensitised to the feeling. I don't feel purposeless, well not exactly. Maybe it's cos dramafest is round the corner and it's just another job to do, another duty to carry out.

Many of the people i've met through oteam, it's the first and last time i work with them. They're all a terrific bunch and i wish i could get to know them better (same sentiments to my oglings actually).

Okay i'm going to down water, bathe, get ready for another day in school and think about things for a while longer.

Although i say this: This is not a definitive orientation post. It doesn't mean i'm gonna bother doing one in the future.

Well it's been a pretty eventful 3 days!

On saturday my OGlings had a sentosa outing, though not many turned up, it was still pretty fun! :D and i cut my finger and it was bleeding and i was laughing and it was hurting and then the next day i decided to go climbing with andrew and zr! Good job byap. But that was fun! It was a hilarious day and there were many things to laugh at. :D Happiness.

My OG is really coming together :D They're a funny and cute bunch and they're quite full of nonsense. The block is was DAMN NICE. And they're the kind of OG which can have a ton of fun with paint. Which reminds me of O'biang :)

One more day and it's back to school again. Argh.

EA was mad tiring.

Daniel AKA OMG-man is a celebrity now. IT IS INSANE.

Holy smokes man.

"Hihi my name is byap."

Sometimes i feel all j1 again. My OG is quite cute. And they're slowly warming up which is fantastic. yay! They're not the most WOAHH ENTHU OG around, but they're better than most i think!

Today was quite good i think. Storyline was tons fantastic today. HOWEVER, the mics were screwy. My OG couldn't hear my lines sometimes which kinda sucks.

Staygay was quite organized, very fun as well. Good job! Only problem was, with so many games, and EVEN MORE OGs, it was packed EVERYWHERE. And we had to cramp in a lot of places.

Woo EA tomorrow. My feet cry out in preemptive pain.

Holy smokes.

4 days of crazy, let's go!

I love how iTunes just knows the perfect song to play sometimes.

I remember back in sec 3, during a meeting for OIP, we were, for some reason, sharing our pet peeves. I was trying to be a smartass and say something cryptic and un-understandable, yet totally made sense and was true. I said something along the lines of "I can tolerate people who are annoying, but i hate it when annoying people can't see that they are annoying me even when i am very obviously showing them i am annoyed by them and keep annoying me"

Today i realised it is still true. By Ms Ang's totally skilled intepretation of my handwriting i am a temperamental person, which is true. I'm usually a tolerant guy, but when someone gets on my nerves, i calm myself down, try to do nothing, give signs that i'm getting ticked off. When that person is oblivious, it gets worse and worse and soon enough it's taking superhuman efforts to keep my temper in check. I don't like losing my temper. It's a demon locked up in chains that have been broken before and every idiotic thing you do to make him mad causes the bolts to loosen and soon he's just raring to be free and obliterate you.

Lesson of the day: Get a clue.

Something amusing this morning: I woke up and for reasons i cannot explain, the song "Fire Burning" was stuck in my head. I was annoyed. I checked the time. It was 9.11.

I'll be bringing my dog to the vet for his 3rd jab (finally). This means many things. For one, i can finally bring him out for walks. It's very much bigger now, we've had it for a month now and you can really see the difference in size, build and weight. He's gonna be huge by june, i believe.

Good luck to the chaps taking the SATs today. Even though they can't read this.

3.12:
I am back from the vet. Turns out my dog has some kinda parasite and it's causing hair to fall out. D: Now he's got medication and some sort of wash thing that gets rid of it and i'll need to send it for jabs once a week for the next 4 weeks. Also he has to wear an E collar, it's those cone things. I have to wait for this to blow over and for another 4th jab before i can finally bring him out on walks.

There was a mediacorp actress at the vet! :O I have no idea what her name is (i just found out she's called Lin Mei Jiao or 林梅娇) but she was there with what is probably a very young golden retriever. Which was cute and kept trying to get near Mars and Mars was doing the same. I restrained him because he could very easily tear that thing to shreds, if he wanted to. But it's super cute when they were rubbing their noses together!

Okay i should do my lit essay.

After milling about a long while in school and borrowing a bunch of books from the library, i ran into Shang today and we met lil' Beck and we had a fun time running around town and talking nonsense and having dinner and bumping into random people.

Hey it was fun.

Didn't grow last year.

Son of a gun.

Today was one epic day of physics. Physics practical. Physics lecture. Physical Education. Physics Extra lesson. Physics talk i didn't want to go for.

Nothing else worthy of note. Meh. I need more excitement.

In life there is balance, of highs and lows, of fire and water, of silence and noise, of bound and unrestrained, of insanity and calm.

Irony is: Needing to do my current of electricity tutorial and then having my power go out and then having it come back on again to go out yet again. Repeat.

Life is a joke, you just gotta find the punchlines.

Mondays are fine days indeed. I have also discovered that taking the purple line home at specific times is actually faster than my usual routes, also, less walking!

Ms Ang (at Weeki): There is something seriously wrong with this guy.

Such a great day that has been made today.

My stomach is a ravenous beast today.

flow sweetly, hang heavy
you suddenly complete me
you suddenly complete me

Yesterday's oteam mega briefing thing was boring, yet amusing and fun and everything. It is always good to have good company.

I had dinner with some storyliners and snders and it was quite fun cos we ended up joining in with these old people on the j8 rooftop to line dance. That was amusing. Spontaneity and boredom are a volatile mix.

My dreams have been particularly vivid and fantastical of late. All these peculiar things that swim in my subconscious.

a baby elephant arranged in alpha bits | 10:14 AM;

Well today was sufficiently and very amusing. Sure it felt like a super long academic day (it was my shortest) but today was quite fun.

This is mostly because of super epic dinner time convo with Yiwei and Douglas. And also super gossip session during storyline. SUPER. I have learnt so much today my brain is now saturated with nonsense.

Choice retarded line from dinnertime convo madness:

"If you know what i know then you'll know what i know is what you know."

What a riot.
