The simpler life...

Getting real stressful nowadays. the recent exams don't even come close. saw loads of deadlines being pushed forward today. was in a rush the whole day, putting up posters, finding mr ng for stuff, doing some designing, etc. and morning announcement tml. the script's approved but i'm still trying to find a way to really appeal to people to step forward and donate. still not satisfied with my current script. seems so run of the mill and so typical of normal announcements that no one actually bothers about. word of mouth isn't going as well as i hoped. and i won't be around that day to drag pple to donate.

and listening compre seems so trivial as a result even though it's a national exam. had to report to the exam room at 2.15 then discovered that it'd only start at 3. initially felt so cooped up thinking of how i'd be wasting 45min idling away when there's still so much pressing. thankfully managed to calm down soon and fell asleep promptly. but guess tt was too much. awakened by the teacher every 5min reminding bout sth but went back to sleep each time. then it was finally 3 and the radio was saying it was about to start but i was screaming 'let me go back to sleep inside' hah. needed clement to give me a kick on the back before i sat up. did all the qns during the first reading of the passage (it was surprisingly easy =)) then lazed around not listening at all during the second time through. exams seem so unimportant nowadays. oral was a joke, and i was late by a few minutes or just on time for three quarters of my mid yr papers. wonder if that's good or bad

pw lecture after that. was rushing trying to get first aid stuff done again before it. so pressed for time. then during the first part of the lecture realised how much i've been slacking through pw and how far we're away from the finishing line. surveys and interviews still not finished. and i think i'd need to change a lot of the phrasing and organisation from the gpp to the wr which would take a lot of time. but the realisation didn't seem to be enough. still fell asleep during the lecture anyway and learnt nothing. oh well... let's hope i'd have done good enough for a band 2

ok, enough of that. went shopping for stuff for the publicity of the blood donation drive with kenneth at popular. then i went to woodlands library. eons since i've been there... dunno how the idea suddenly popped out in my head. was on the train, then thought of how next morning will be left doing first aid stuff and thus no time to rush finish the tutorials due. so decided to do some stuff there...

hmm, lots have changed there. basically the layout, etc is still the same but the tiny details here and there that makes the present cafe so much different from the one bout a year back... there added some sofas/cushioned seats, probably copied from jurong heh. the menu board behind the counter is new. so is the place where they put the pastry. new coffee grinder too... but other than that, it's the same. deep down i was hoping jeffrey is back there but i know that's fat hope. all the staff's unfamiliar except for the auntie cook who never comes out of the kitchen to socialise.

so was sitting down at my fave place (the one jeff always reserve for me =) heh) marvelling at the place which i used to spend so much time at. i think from after the mid years to around the prelims most of the days after school before dinner time were spent there. the latte wasn't as good as the ones back then but at least it is so much better than the bubbly stuff they serve at amk. oh, i'm digressing

so i took out my tutorials soon and proceeded to do them. and two qns into it, poof! my hand somehow jerked while placing the cup back on the table and there goes all the coffee onto the table. onto the paper, pens, etc. crap. surprisingly i was really calm after that. remember back in primary sch i spilled some soft drink at kfc and felt so scared approaching the counter to tell them that. the staff was friendly while clearing up the mess i created, which was good but there goes my tutorial. and lecture pad as well, which was drenched beyond hope. it was a new one grr... thankfully the more important stuff: my completed tutorials, lecture notes and the blood donation things were unscathed except for some coffee on the corners of the tutorials and notes. quite bad seeing the yellowish tinge on those papers but they smell nice lol.

i've always been a clumsy person but this was a first... so there were twice or thrice i spilled coffee on the counter but nothing wipes with a cloth couldn't take care of. and then there are the countless times i spilled a li'l on the tables when it is really full. again, nothing some serviettes couldn't handle. never toppled it full scale before. oh well. totally no mood to do anything after that. rejected the staff's offers of a refill and left.

and again one of those days where i go one big round recounting stories and forget what is the main point i was trying to make. remembered i was thinking on the lift back home what i was gonna blog bout, the title, the things that happened and my thoughts but guess i lost track of the last one. no point blogging more i guess
