French class ended on a disappointing note yesterday. To think that we cannot even finish our last class due of administrative problems is certainly pathetic. We paid good money for this and the school can't even provide a decent clerk to take charge at the office.

Time to look for a new place to learn my intermediate level.

There isn't even a proper certificate awarded to us for even completing this course. To think that it is such a hassle for them to just use a printer to print out a "Certificate of Participation". It's not even a Certificate of Achievement (which is more valuable).

I give up on this school. Maybe eprep works better than this.

It's been a long time since I posted something about the festive holidays and the things I did. I don't know why, but I always feel a sense of emptiness whenever the festive season arrives. It gets worse when I see people around me getting so hyped up over celebrations that happens every year. I can't see anything special from all this.

I guess I'm quite vulnerable to depression attacks. Been pondering why my mood changes to frequently and drastically these days. There isn't a logical reason for my recent behaviour. Even the fortune-teller (who said I'll have good luck this year) identified that I'm disturbed by many matters, but I cannot comprehend what I'm feeling vexed over.

Like what Mr. Quek used to say, "I'm troubled."

But what am I troubling myself over, I don't know it either.

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to all.

I should be making everyone around me happy, like what the old choonpeng used to do. Even if it's putting on a brave front.

Vivocity is indeed the new place to spot celebrities.

Though I'm not very into the idol chasing craze that is so rampant nowadays, the atmosphere at vivocity was one of hopes and anticipation. I was wondering why there was a red carpet from the cinema to the escalator today, and I realised that there was actually a movie premiere for Protege. Louis Koo and Daniel Wu were probably the biggest shots over there amidst the huge presence of local celebs.

What was more surprising was that I actually saw the two of them over at Bugis Junction 8 a few hours before. It was a shopping trip for new year clothes when we (me, weelun and penghui) saw the banner for Protege and the two of them on the stage. Never did I expect I would see them again at Vivocity after that.

hmm... why am I over-reacting over these idol crazes?

Does reading Dalai Lama's book mean I'm being detached from the rest of society?

I'm quite confused that people actually asked me to "come back to earth" just because of this Dalai Lama's book of wisdom that I bought today. I seriously think there's nothing wrong to read about diverse subjects. So what's wrong about reading?

I shall keep this aside for now.

The other book I bought with the book voucher was The Alchemist. This is probably the second book I'll save if my room catches a fire. Of course, the top priority being Tuesdays with Morrie. These are my most prized items. Like they say, " a good book is always worth keeping."

French lesson is coming to an end soon. I better treasure the remaining times with everyone in class. I don't know how many I'll be in contact with, but lets just hope for the best for everyone.

a bientot.

It's great to be ORDinary once again.

ORD lo.

I've learnt not to do things in the last minute. Luckily, most of the people I couldn't find the previous time (which was a long time ago) happened to be at the correct place at the correct time. And I managed to finish everything by the end of the day. Fortunate me.

If nothing turns out like what I expected today, I'll probably kill myself for not doing my clearance earlier. I cannot bear the painful thought of not getting my pink IC when everyone else got theirs back.

All I have to do now is wait.
