Ok, enough said.
And it doesn't help that Fistful of Colours is such a horrible book.

Something totally brainless but necessary
I was so bored that I had to do this to scare myself.
Semester 1's books. (add that with another 3 books which aren't with me)
This semester's books....the bottom stack of papers are the 211 (film studies) readings.. so add them with another 16 films that I've watched for the course. (wow.. 16 films in 12 weeks! I've never watched so many films in my whole life before.. so far at least.)
Behold, the difference
Wanted to list down all the books that are required to be read for this semester, but I figured out I'll just die of heart attack. :p
I haven't read 3 books out of the pile for this semester. How screwed am I. I heard it's not that dangerous to leave out Bleak House though.. might consider taking the risk depending on the time. Might just have to depend on Sparkie for Bleak House.
-oops-
If you're thinking that I have to complete the disgustingly thick book at the bottom, worry not. I just have to read selected texts and poems ;)
Now, back to the issues of Orientalism for my HL211 essay.. the most interesting yet profound module of the semester.
ttfn~!

:)
Mid week again, but I'm already feeling very tired. Not just physically tired, but tired of certain things in life, which i know I shouldnt be worrying about since I've already prayed, but somehow i just don't have the faith to believe nor pull through. This is just one of the moments where life seems really mundane and stagnant. It's easy to say "just don't think about it", but when your mind is idle, it is prone to think about almost anything in the world, what more the issues on hand.
On a happier note, I've finished 3/4 of my Sg Lit texts... left with Fistful of Colours which I'm really not interested in reading. Hope to finish it by Friday so I can concentrate on Vic Lit texts.
Got back the Sg Lit assignment today. I did better than I expected. Definitely satisfied considering how crap the work is. Tom Stoppard's presentation next wk, and then it's HW111 (our grp is really slack man...), and then it's exams. Can't wait for the exams to be over. I'm sick of this semester.
On an even happier note, Mom bought me a Cheesecake Recipe Book. Soooo many different kinds of cheesecake recipes! Definitely brought a smile to my face. Now I'm motivated to make cheesecake again, considering the not so successful first attempt.
Yesterday, went with CW to the Maroon 5 concert. It was not bad, and I couldn't help gushing about Adam Levine. Anyway, my craving for Bedok food was satisfied. The food was simply awesome.
Fried carrot cake. 
The special Ba Chor Mee. The stall only sells Ba Chor Mee soup. The garlic taste is really strong, so if you're someone who doesn't like garlic, you'd probably not like it. I like it though.
Fried Hokkien Mee! Love the Hokkien Mee here!
Too bad our stomachs were not big enough for the stingray, grilled chicken wings, and otah. Those are really nice too.
ttfn~!

URGHHHHHH TO VICTORIAN LIT ASSIGNMENT.
Not as bad as the Merlion though. BUT STILL..
Not going to Redang anymore. That's a really big deal and now I have no mood to do anything. Super sian. Was looking forward to a good break after a horrible semester but looks like I'm gonna be confined to the walls of home. At least I have many movies waiting for me in my hard drive.. and Lost 4! Missed so many episodes. Thank God right now I'm not really keen in catching up with the series.
What's with professors and being vague this semester? All the assignments are not specific, which really makes it hard to focus. HL103 will be the next tyrant I'm catching.

Puke and Purge
Seriously, my Singapore Lit essay is crap. Pages of nothing but crap about the Merlion.
My tutor is gonna puke blood just like how the Merlion spews. haa..
TTFN~!

Is this really happening?
Do I really want this to happen?
I feel like digging a hole in the ground now and just hide there until my mind is clear.

Hmmm..
Not seeing someone for a relatively long period of time, and bumping into this person in an unexpected situation, made me realised that I have actually missed this person quite a fair bit without even knowing it.
Humans are selfish beings. They are bothered when people hurt them, but more often that not, they do not acknowledge it when they have hurt someone. It's like a cycle, I feel, but I don't know how to explain in words how this cycle works. It's all in my head. I can picture it, but I can't put it in words. I'm not good when it comes to multi-tasking. When I'm deep in thoughts, I'd just stone and not speak. When I'm talking, words don't come easy for me because I can't exactly think when I speak. Well, I wouldn't say that 100% of what I say is rubbish though. That's one reason why I don't really like having conversations over the phone, because I may just bore the other person by either my silence, or the crap I speak. Anyway, this is just a side-track.
As I was saying, humans are selfish.
Humans are not perfect. Humans are never contented. Humans always want more. Humans may seem to have what is best for them, but seriously, the best is not enough for them. What exactly do they want? Hmmm..
Godliness with contentment is great gain. I shall tell myself that, and be contented with whatever I have. Of course, this isn't a chance for me to idle my life away. Just do my best and God will take care of the rest.
Now the problem comes when I ask myself what's the best that I can reach. What's my maximum? What am I going to do with my life? Have I even tried hard?
I feel so stupid being in the course I'm studying now. Everyone speaks up in class with brilliant ideas while I just sit on my chair and taking in people's idea. Where in the world is my spine? I can't possibly be relying on people's ideas all the time. This is bad. While all the professors are faithfully giving their lectures, I faithfully let my mind wander into who-knows-where. When I actually pay attention, I don't catch a single ball. Grr.. With all the assignments piling up and beckoning me with their scary witch-liked fingernails and hands (I'm personifying my work. Ha. This is scary.), I can't imagine how I'm gonna complete it. Ooops, a mistake there. I can't imagine how I'm gonna START working on it.
Singapore Lit is the terrifying one. 2200 WORDS! (Just to compare two poems on the s*lly-looking merlion. Victorian Lit is more merciful. Only 800 words :) Film module is bad, yet I'm looking forward to working on it. 2800 words! Plus 2 presentations. Mulan and Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. Oohh..and not forgetting the waste-my-time HW 111 presentation.
Rant rant rant rant. I can rant all day long. it's been long since I ranted.
May God help cluttered-mind Stacey.

Seriously...
Seriously, what am I doing with my own life?
I worry so much, panic so much, yet I put in so little effort in doing something about my problems.
What's wrong with me?
ARGHHHH......
The height of my pile of work to be done can be compared to Mt. Everest.
TTFN

Daughtry - Over You
Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,

And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
I know I've put this up before, but I am seriously addicted to this song for quite some time now. I have to listen to it before I sleep, and somehow it automatically plays in my head at times. I guess the day I get sick of this song will be the day I safely can say "I got over you".
*shrugs* oh well.
Whatever. Daughtry's voice is just so heart-melting. I wonder how he'd sound singing a ballad or sentimental song.
TTFN~!
P.s: I still can't bear to leave blogger for Multiply. ROAR!

Yay, it's Friday!
I love Fridays, and today is possibly one of the best Fridays ever since school started *smitten and sheepish smile*
But...
No point eleborating on the 'but'. 'but' in itself is an opposition. So go figure the complexity (messiness) of my mind.
Thinking back just leads to an inevitable smile though =)
Oh, I got an A- for my essay for writing class! I thought I'd get a C cos that paper was really scrwed up. Hope I can get around the same for the next assignment cos the next assignment is crappier.

Procrastination has taken its toll on me.
Or should I say, procrastination has always been taking its toll on me.
As such, I had/have to rush 4 assignments (3 major assignments, 1 homework).
There's so much I wanna blog about, especially about my visit to the Toy Museum on Sunday, but since I'll have many photos to upload, with so little time, I will probably do it on Friday.
Haven't been getting enough sleep these few nights.. Can't wait for this killer week to be over. Ever since school started, I've never felt time pass so slow before. This week is simply moving too slow and strenuous.
Back to sonnet-ing!
Edward Spenser just made life difficult for me.
And soon will Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, and many other "great" men.

I'm left with the final part of HOD!
Managed to think of a couple of words to work on, but I still don't have the faintest inkling on how I'm gonna go about doing it. Don't even remind me about the abstract.
I hereby declare, from now until I'm happy, the following words will be considered taboo in Stacey's vocab.:
-Heart
-Darkness
-Civilisation
-Imperialism
-Africa
-Congo
As I read HOD, I still can't link LOST and the storyline of HOD. LOST most definitely cannot be referring to colonisation, nor creating a New World (trying to refrain from using one of my taboo words).. Could Jacob the invisible guy be likened to Kurtz?
Arghh.. 2010 and the truth will be out. I'll be old and my loyalty will be tested.

Seems like I'm not gonna get my driving license in March afterall.. =(
But what's done is done and cannot be undone. Time to move on dude.
It's Friday again, and I just love Fridays. I'm just hoping for a rainy night to blend with my feelings tonight, and the bonus is a wonderful sleep later on.
We celebrated Joseph's (soozhouwei!johnwayne!beowulf!) birthday today. I'm sure he was pleasantly surprised cuz we only know each other for a month! He was smart enough to reject the mini-cake smash, but too bad for him, his whole shirt was filled with a mixture of ladies' perfume haha. It was so sweet of Constance to bring an extra shirt for him.
I guess as much as I dread going to school, I'm thankful for a bunch of fun-loving people that are just like soma (BNW's temporary anti-depressant)
I'm just feeling damn sian now cuz of what I went through in the afternoon. And of all times, a stupid surveyor had to approach me at one of my worst moments. I'm usually very happy to do surveys for people, but for this guy, I just had to snap at him. (Sorry, Mr. Surveyor)
Oh well. I'm feeling slightly better now, that is if I don't brood over the failure. I wanna watch a movie.. Maybe Evan Almighty?
TTFN~!
