niggling feelings

Yesterday, I started the day off in good spirits; I had woken up earlier to head to biz canteen to purchase a salad to keep it aside for lunch. On the way to school I was even sending Huda encouraging peptexts telling her to not be down! Because I saw her tweet about being exhausted and having to be up for an 8.30am lesson. At that time I had this niggling feeling in my mind that I probably shouldn't be so chirpy in the morning because of my belief that when you start off a day being happy, it tends to go downhill and bad stuff would start happening to you. IT'S SUPER SUPERSTITIOUS AND TOTALLY IRRATIONAL, I KNOW, but I'm like this. Conversely if y'start off your day like crap it can only get better. :D But because of that gut feeling, I actually felt quite amused the whole day, because my prediction did come true.

The western food stall didn't have salads in their fridge -- I WAS GREETED WITH HEADS -- that's how y'call it right? Not balls? LOL -- OF LETTUCE. *-* At that time I was a tad amused already; "Was this the start of my bad day?" I was mulling over that. Got myself a salmon & egg sandwich instead.

Media seminar went okayyyyy though I felt quite.. lame because I didn't really understand what was going on. We were released early, because one group presented instead of two. So, at 11am, Zhiwei the dearest accompanied me to UHC (NUS' University Health Centre) to consult a doctor on the state of my sore throat and flu. HEEHEE the missy has always gone with me to the doctor's!! I am so lucky. (: Thank you m'dear. Enquired about the waiting time, because the queue was sooooooo long, and I had to return later because I had Soci lecture at 12pm.

Got myself an iced coffee, and slowly trekked my way from YIH to Engineering. D: Even though it was the third week of school, and I assure you that I didn't play truant for the first two lectures, I GOT FRIGGIN' LOST. I MADE A WRONG TURN SOMEWHERE AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET BACK. *faints I bumped into Zhiying though, right after that I realised I was somewhere... foreign. Followed the signs to LT7a but all of the sudden they went missing. Had to swallow my pride and ask for directions, thank goodness I wasn't far away.

Headed inside the lecture theatre, and sipped my coffee while waiting for the lecturer to turn up. It was odd because it was close to twelve already and many people from the previous lecture were still milling about discussing about the handing up of tutorials. When it was 12.05pm, there were about fifty plus, sixty plus people in the LT, and I was wondering about the day which the same lecture, held in Arts, was held on. About the same time my brain realised it was one of the days of CNY, a guy seated at the back of the LT went "Hey, those of you who are here for Making Sense of Society.. I think there isn't any lecture today."

O:

HOW UNFORTUNATE CAN MY DAY GET!?!??!

Left the LT after thanking the dude for confirming my suspicions. Feeling foolish, I realised that I had to wait even longer for UHC to re-open after lunch hours. ): If I'd known about lecture being cancelled, I could've just waited from 11am onwards! Sigh. Yes yes, it was my own fault for not checking the schedule -- but the lecturers didn't make an announcement at all.. *twiddles fingers OKAY OKAY blaming myself, taking full responsibility.

Luckily Jasper & the rest were having lunch, so I went to join 'em and had my second half of the sandwich! :D Also bumped into Gaya & Nithiya which was awesome. :D

Throughout the day, I was really, really amused. You might think I'm crazy because I had such an unfortunate day wasting so much time, but because I had predicted it somehow, I was prepared for it HAHAHAHAAH. Now you KNOW I'm crazy, not just think it. But honestly! It was like having a private joke with myself.

I don't know why I'm so blur these few days but I was also almost late for my soci makeup tutorial because my brain had calculated all preparation times for an one-hour tutorial instead of a two-hour one. Managed to make it on time albeit the horrid waiting time for A1 at Kent Ridge. Am pretty happy because Sheela remembers me from Singapore Society tutorial! :DDDDD Sounding like a mega creepster but she is the prettiest and most intelligent T.A I've gotten, lolololol. She offered to help if I have questions with any soci modules, which is awesome of her!

TODAY a guy ran to get the last seat in the train. I was slowly making my way towards it, so I was a tad taken aback. When he made eye contact with me, I could see guilt in his face. LOL I'm dramatising. Maybe he didn't give a shit. I tweeted "Chivalry is dead. Guy RAN to get the last seat in the train."

While on the way home with Melcher, I was telling him about it. He said he wanted to reply "But I'm not dead!" which is pretty true, he is damn nice and I realised he always pulls open doors for me. Of course I'm not claiming all guys aren't gentlemanly anymore, it was just a tweet. Moreover there are feminists who'd slap me for expecting differential treatment, heh.

Melcher also said "Yeah I saw it" when I mentioned my tweet. It made me ponder the changes in the ways we connect with each other now. I recall, in primary and secondary school, it was always conversation-based, where we'd go "Oh yesterday I did this, I went to this, she said this, he did this" and so on. Now, when I bring up something that I had either blogged about or tweeted, it's highly possible that my friend would have seen it prior to my mentioning it. In this particular case, he could have either waited for me to continue giving him details about what had happened, or tell me that he'd seen my tweet and hence knew some information. He did the latter, which allowed for me to continue on without providing additional information. I AM AMAZED AT A. HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES B. HOW DYNAMIC CONVERSATION IS

Regarding A, it really allows for friends who don't meet up regularly to know, to a certain extent, how another is doing. That also depends on how much information one lets another know online, but yeah. Most of us have a Facebook account, yeah? :D That being said, it also makes for conversation topics to be more interesting than the daily going ons of life! It really makes one delve further into random topics. We talk a lot more about what we did, when, where, those kinda stuff. In my opinion anyway. Regarding B, I just think the two way paradigmatic feature of face to face conversation is so dynamic. *bounces* I love talking to people! Conversation is so not.. stale. I had to immediately jump to other stuff when Melcher said he had seen my tweet.

I think my medicine is getting to me. HAHAHA was this a load of rubbish to you! This is what goes through my mind. A lot of random thoughts... which I have problems succinctly expressing. Hurhurhur.

Today:
- Had dinner with Ng Yoke Cheng, after which we traipsed back to her house to chill. Where chilling involves beer, and where said beer for today failed miserably. SISSY OF BEERS. I always fall asleep on her couch. It is too comfortable.
- Bumped into Yihan in his army uniform! He looked taller. He said I didn't look ill. Which is a good thing, I suppose.
- Didn't dress the way I felt. D: I still have the mind of a secondary school kid!

The doctor offhandedly remarked that my condition would worsen in the next few days. D: I hope I recover pretty soon; it sucks having to breathe through my mouth. One good thing came out of having to go to UHC though -- I found out that I had lost weight! I am one kg away from my ideal weight. (: STRANGELY though, I have been pigging out during CNY, eating steamboat for dinner for two straight days, and snacking on EVERY SINGLE CNY GOODIE I spot in ANY house, aren't I supposed to gain weight? D: I think it's the chores. The physically strenuous mopping and vacuuming and wiping and dusting and climbing up and down. I SHALL MOP THE FLOOR TMRW TO ATTEMPT TO LOSE WEIGHT.
