peace . love . joy

feel so occupied, not that i'm complaining much, though..

i mean, my parents are happy to see me studying and working (btw, i got the part-time job working for Prof Pluss, =])..

but i just feel so..how shall i describe it..a little tired..

i've readings to catch up on, thank God for the mid-term quiz by Shirley, a great excuse and motivation to start reading the boring textbook with an even more boring cover page.

thank God for Jonathan London. he's my favourite lecturer\tutor =D
great motivation in himself for me to be up to date on my readings (except for the textbook which i just got back frm valerie)
really lucky that he's my lecturer and tutor for the most boring-est course i could ever take - HS 203 : Economy and Society

thank God for CH! really lucky that i've him to explain stuff to me that (even though i've read up on it in many different places,) i still dont understand.

thank God for friends that i've made. new ones, like (another) Jonathan from HW class, Isabel, Hafizah "FiFi" and Alvina. and "older" acquaintances whom i'm getting to know better like Suf, Shaun, Bryan, Daryl, Jalobi and Jenni
sometimes, i wonder why i'm in school and i dread going to Boon Lay, but i think of God and the dread melts. then i go to school and see smiling faces that i recognise, a friendly wave, a "hi, megan, you look ~" by the one and only Sangee (~ = depending on how i look to her at that point in time), and i feel happy i'm in school.

sociology of language just started to get interesting =D

*gosh, i just realised i'm really lucky. in other words, really blessed! hmmm..*

right now, i'm rushing to finish off the work frm Caroling (it aint much, but u know me..the super last-minute worker)

tmr, think i'll still go for the GoFish meet at 6, but i dont think i'll make it for training on sunday - i've got to study for the quiz (5 chapters plus lecture notes for monday, and i havent even torn open the plastic wrapping =( )

so today's to finish up the interview transcript.
i've learnt to watch how i speak. this lady sounds terrible! sounds all merged (2 words sounding like 1), intonation's all wrong, variation in tone's all wrong and too sing-song-like (but the song aint nice), ugh!! i know, i know, who am i to judge her speech style, i am not miss perfect english either, but i do know when i start to feel ugh-ness and disgust while hearing others talk. there's a time for everything, so know when to switch, and when you are putting on a show with your speech \ choich of accent, try to maintain it until the end (curtains down).
SINGAPOREANS, I KNOW WE LOVE SINGLISH, BUT PLEASE, WHEN IT'S TIME TO SPEAK IN STANDARD ENGLISH, PLEASE DO, AND TRY NOT TO LAPSE BACK INTO SINGLISHY SPEECH!! IT'S REALLY HORRENDOUS.

man, skating with celebrities's over, beauty and the geek's over..friday nights are gonna be boring with just 9.30's Midsommer Murders to look forward to..

oh, well, enough rest, back to work!

btw, i love this song medley! i love Spirit : Stallion of the Cimmaron!

the musical arrangement and the scenes and the lyrics..gosh! so beautiful and free! makes you feel like bursting with joy and freedom and running through meadows with the wind in your hair! *sigh*

well, that's my dream..

til then, enjoy =]
