Only I can't think of anything to blog. Is my life that dull? Or is it just me craving so much for an adventure-packed life that I don't realise how colourful the life I have right now is?

Just read in the Saturday section about some kids from a dysfunctional family. The grandmother says they like to think of themselves as 17 year old heroes and heroines and run away from home. I think I'm like that too, wanting an experience that is out of this earth, one of magic, challenges, swordfights, chivalry, assassins, the likes. Fantasy. What am I running away from? I have no idea. Reality, truth... me?

I need to rediscover myself again and write a whole new personal statement that's 4000 words long for application to UK universities. Oh dear. I've written a crappy one and the beginning of the year and now I need to write more. I think I'm going to faint from the task. It's going to be super time-consuming because I'll always procrastinate and when I happen to really open a word document to start typing this personal statement, I'll stone after typing my name and school.

Anyway, just for fun, on 27/5/2003 Tuesday, I blogged about being unable to study Chinese and was going to fail and also the famous 'I HATE WEDNESDAYS!'. 27/5/2004 was a Thursday and i didn't blog anything althought it was the ARC internal games 2 days later and I was a facillitator and it was also the 1st parent-teacher meeting in IJ where the parent doesn't have to meet the teacher. A day back I seemed to be obsessed about Felix from Golden Sun and discovered Reman Mythology. 27/5/2005 was a Friday (& 50 days to go before the book HP6 came out) and I didn't blog anything either but I think 28/5/2005 (Saturday) was when the results of the angklung exco was announced. I also said something about Common Tests that I never really understood lectures but still wanted 4As because my competitive streak won't forgo this chance to prove myself in a whole new environment. I said I was turning old... I still am haha. And one of my favourite quotes to use before CTs: "Even the most carefully thought out plan cannot work without a drop of magic... Harry Potter's magic."

Isn't it interesting that some of these things that happened (nearly) exactly a year ago is happening again? I'm taking my Chinese AO on 29th May, and the angklung exco elections is ongoing at this very point of time. Okay, so this isn't any 'Beyond Coincidence' thing since exams and exco elections usually happen at this time of the year but still, it's pleasantly odd that my experiences now are similar to that a few years back.

I want to watch X-Men - the Last Stand. No goodlooking guys other than Cyclops but Shadowcat looks promising as Iceman's substitute for Rouge. But I want to get by with Chinese first.

Had angklung exco interviews for the past 3 days. Sometimes it was fun, sometimes it was boring. I did find out more about my angklung juniors anyway so it's not entirely useless I suppose. Still, I think interviews short-change (?) people who have the abilities but are just unable to speak well or do not have the confidence to speak in front of a panel of people who are about to judge them on something they're really not good at - talking. Speeches are even worse because you're just talking in front of a crowd and while trying to recall your script you are afraid that you'll forget to maintain eye contact and engage the listeners. I never liked those kind of things but I really need the skills... and I need to learn them soon. *sighs*
