first i shall post yesterday's belated post. the internet played up yesterday, and stuffed up my hopes of getting on the internet to celebrate. so i ended up spending the whole of yesterday photoshopping.

The exam room was so cold today.
The papers were pretty much okay. I thought bio was the hardest, and physics the easiest paper. There were some odd questions but it was mostly okay.
I was in S21, the people in the dance room finished later, again. Before the exam nurul and I stood outside and listened to ‘
Je Ne Veux Pas Travailler,’ my new fav song. It sounds lovely and vintage, but according to nurul the lyrics are sort of emo. To me, it sounds like a lady who’s having a lazy day.
It goes something like this:
My room is like a cage
I don’t want to work
I don’t eat
I only smoke my cigarettes
The lyrics may be like that, but the mood, when you hear the song it’s totally different.
After the exam I went to Best Eastern and got my Dolly magazine. I couldn’t find any Stephanie meyer books, but guess what book I found? Meg cabot’s
size 14 is not fat either. I found that book in HK, during my December holiday last year (06) the weirdest bit was that this book was but in the new release area. Goes to show how slow things come to brunei. We must be years behind places like USA and the UK.
There were a lot of
neil gaiman books though. But mum was in a rush, she didn’t allow me time to decide between ‘neverwhere,’ ‘American gods’ or ‘anansi’s boys.’ Oh well. Those books go on to my wishlist of books to read. If you have them, could you please lend them to me? =)
LET THE FUN BEGIN! =)It’s only two weeks till holidays. The last day of school I’m going off to perth, so armed with my dolly mag I shall compile my shopping list.
I don’t know where to begin this holiday celebration. Should I do art, take photographs, read my haruki murakami books or watch movies?
I haven’t watched stardust, and there are a lot of Korean movies waiting to be watched. Where shall I begin? =/
I’ve also got inspiration for a new blog layout. Maybe I shall plunge headlong into the celebration and see how it goes.
This weekend is my duke of Edinburgh trip. From what I’ve heard from the people who went the previous weekend, it’s a physical challenge. Even the bag itself is huge, carrying it from the hall to the front of school already made my bag hurt. And I’m only carrying the flag poles and pegs and trangea, without my other belongings. It might be back-breaking on the day itself. Apparently the first morning we have to wade through rivers that reach our knees, and walk a grand total of four hours from berakas to muara beach.
The second day is worse, I heard. For the previous weekend’s group, there was rain the previous night, so the river they crossed the next day was waist deep. Just thinking of this makes it more scary. It’s like a jungle sleepover. No toilets, no cooked food. Only seclusion from civilization. No mobile phones either, only cameras.

today's post
------------
my maid saw my fully packed DOE bag, and immediately asked if she could go along and help me carry my bag.
of course i can't, but for her to say that, the bag must look pretty big on me. i feel better though, now that i've packed. i hope i haven't forgotten anything.
a funny thought passed my mind just now when i was showering.
i won't get a decent shower tomorrow, so i'll make the most of it todayoh well. no shower cubicles. the sea is the most we have.
i spent a lot of last night worrying.
what if there are leeches? what if i give up half-way? what if i faint?a whole lot of other what-ifs too, but oh well. i'll take precautions. don't know if i can finish the trip though, my stamina is like zero. after the DOE trip we have athletics days.
another thing. i'm scared to bring my camera: what if water gets into it? then no more pictures.
