teacup

there's actually a word there but witty censored it so now it just looks like a terrible attempt at trying to sound aussie. oops.

yeah, i remember you weren't sounding too good the last time we spoke. you got me worried when we stopped talking. i think i'm coping. for one, at least i'm not mood swinging between being angry at everything and feeling depressed, which i used to in class. it wasn't very pleasant. now it feels like i'm just existing, waiting for my chance to live again, if any. though it may not be in my best interests to leave everything to fate, i can't see myself going about this any other way.

i think i am still the same! i actually made an effort to not use "haha" in this message, as i'd always do.

hahaha.

, mate.

hahahaha social events. what are friends. i don't feel very motivated because i don't even know what i'm studying for, man. i think i mentioned my wanting to transfer courses? yeah, things didn't work out and that didn't happen; so i'm forever stuck in this cesspit. i am spending entire days in my room writing poetry (or at least attempting to) and then tearing the pages out because i can't complete a single one. my status quo is so greeeeat.

and wow, if you haven't realized, it's been six months since we last spoke.

to think i haven't bought alcohol since i turned 18. (17 forever). I have been very tired ever since school started and lets just leave it at 'awful', with my grades on a roller coaster that only goes down. how is university coming along? i presume a lot of theatre assignments? there is no end to my work too, but I hardly find the motivation to do them.

ruby newby! we are so adult-ey. how are you?

I'm coming along.
It's alright. I never had anyone to talk to when I am making huge decisions, and I know I sure as hell would wanna confide in someone. I think it helps -- even just emotionally. I'm all ears if you ever need help!
I've 2 friends from the club and i'm okay with them. With the exception of them, I really think I need to give the others a knuckle sandwich, at least to wake their senses up.

Great. because i've watched all too many documentaries about people getting lost in the outbacks.
Leaving the dinner table angry and frustrated....are they disputing your choices?
Well, firstly the club is in a pretty pathetic state and membership is dwindling. even the new committee members (3 including me, hah) don't regularly attend sessions because they're repetitive and boring. we ended up having to each juggle multiple leadership roles . and i'm switching course so i'm spending an extra year... so i have no idea why i signed myself up for committee this early.

I could've almost thought you went on an expedition to the Australian Outback.
Any progress with that? Follow your dreams (and not your parents'), and i guess things will fall into place.
I've been pretty busy with things myself. Officially a committee member in my school's astronomy club and i am already regretting it. Such is life.

Hey! It's been awhile. What have you been up to?

you are truly stunning.

nooooOoOoOoOOOOOOOO RUBY, NOOOOOOO. *grabs feet*

Australia is huge on the map! We aren't even visible on the world map. Hah.

We used to call the people in our class who don't socialize 'aliens'. Maybe they really are like what you described, hidden beneath their human shell? I read somewhere that because of biological evolution, if aliens do exist they'd be very similar to us ie one head, 2 arms and legs. Sounds less scary, eh?

No holidays coming up :/ only exams. It's in 2 weeks or less I think? Idk. I don't even know anything that has been taught. My academic year ends in April. Which is just weird and I'm so not used to it.

Australia Day is like national day? The latter sounds so boring. Australians are a cool bunch. :)

Supposedly preserves the luster of the hair. There are actually oiling products for this purpose >.>

7 hours is cray!! Gold Coast/Queensland sounds like a ginourmously huge place.

What other can they be?! HAHAH.
There seems to be nothing interesting about being legal because its not like I'm gonna do anything anyway. 18 is a horrible age D: dreading my birthday which would pass uneventfully. I was never a fan of growing older.

I'm stuck in the library with nothing to do, is it the holidays for you yet?

My flu is back because I had stinky hair face planted on me during my train ride to school. What is up with girls and oiling their hair instead of washing them?!

I would very much like to go to Gold Coast too! On certain selected travel dates I could actually go there for less than 200 bucks, which is pretty cheap. Where do you live at anyway? I forgot :x

Is the post-prom nostalgia setting in yet? Meeting new people is always scary. I miss my secondary school class so much. The guys are like really bonded because there's only 10 of us in a class of 40.
Poor guy just got friendzoned and he doesn't even know it :P

Fyi, my birthday is on 12th feb (mark your calendars, y'all) -- so I'm more 'almost-18' than you. :(

I would watch movies that you are in! ;) (which is a pretty big deal considering I don't have the attention span to sit through a whole movie)

I still owe you your name in cursive, right? :D and why, you've got my dopamine and serotonin levels imbalanced too ;) I never liked how love is linked to the heart when it is a brain thing, so yay you!

I'm lost in my statistics lecture. Cya!

And gosh, to what do I owe this honour of having my name on top of a nice 'cuppa to?!

Hey! Haven't seen you in a loooong while. Why thank you for asking, but I am more or less back in health now :) just some runny nose and sore throat left. Gosh, it's been long, has it? Contrary to yours, my life has been pretty uneventful. Currently rotting in class now and hoping my phone battery lasts till I get home. So it's back to you; tell me everything!

I see you've had a blast at prom. Did your date surprise you in any way, as speculated? Looks like you've got a good catch there. Your boyfriend? ;)

Prom for my secondary school was yesterday night. It's been a year since it was mine! I feel old :(

What prize did you win anyway?

I'll talk to you later! Sorry this has been brief. Typing on my phone sucks. Excuse me while I continue wasting my life away in classes that I'm not even interested in and just sleep through.

Oh phew, I feel awkward telling people the same things twice. To hell with schoolwork! *insert my thoughts about how the education system needs radical change to produce thinking individuals instead of regurgitating robots*

Because according to singaporean girls, muscular guys give them a sense of security. Singaporean girls are... ugh i don't really like singaporeans. Note to self: you're a singaporean too, glenn.
Only thing is that i'm not tall! Hahah. Which is pretty sad. But yes i definitely like my current physique better than having a muscular body. Have you seen guys who do paddling sports?! They have super buff arm muscles but tiny legs. HAHAHA.

I'll try writing your name in cursive too, after I have my breakfast ^^ Guess what? I'm having my second breakfast now. I finished a bowl of noodles right when my dad came back and bought me breakfast so i'm eating that rn.
Is your neck still intact? :< I've gotten comments about how my handwriting is very girly, but thanks for letting me learn a new word! (frilly) Oh, what colour would you like? I have green, purple, orange, light blue and black. ^^ As you can guess, my school notes are obnoxiously colourful.

That would be so cool! Also, most people would have a hard time figuring out the link. Tormenting people with guessing games is definitely something I like to do ;)
What's your favourite colour? I think you've told me before but i forgot :/ I presume that's the colour that's gonna go on your jersey?

We'll keep it at that. Brains are being overworked here in singapore. Which also explains why people who have the money go to Australia for university because it's less crazy there. I'd want to do that too! But alas, I am poor pending extreme luck in the lottery.

Hey, check out this song! I just discovered it and i am in l o v e. I think you'll like it too ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsqnpkJ-rJU

Gah, part of me doesn't give a because i'm transferring out of my current course! (have i told you about this crap?) That partly explains my lack of enthusiasm.
Well, what can i say? I like you a lot more than I like schoolwork. Pretty sure the feeling's mutual ^^

Accurate. Becoming a bufflord tops the list of to-dos for almost every guy here, so being lanky is actually rare and somewhat undesirable in the eyes of girls. But who gives a ? I think having bulging muscles are disgusting.

Gosh that is so cute. Thank you! I suck at drawing smiley faces, see?! > http://imgur.com/JjeRq
I apologize in advance for your neck.

You're so ahead it's unfair D: Singapore's education system is pretty hardcore and as such the earliest age where you get to enter university is 19, though it's gonna be 23 for me for various reasons... Sigh.

Rubbiam-glennster! (remember the dictionary?) HAHAHA. That'd be such a sophisticated nickname. Yeah, totally, man. I've never owned a class t-shirt before. (pretty much the same thing). I'm either in very dysfunctional classes (now) or the class t-shirt is just so ugly I won't even buy it.

Grade 1-6 is Primary 1-6, Grade 7-10 is Secondary 1-4 (there's secondary 5 for the weaker students), and then past that education isn't standardized anymore.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruby! (your name is nice too because i can drag the 'r')
I have just risen from the ashes. (i.e. I woke up). I have no mood to do any work today. And I have a graded project report due on thursday. D: Wonder what'll happen if my group fails to submit it? :D But for now, I tell myself that I am sick and should not exert my fingers and brain to type the report, and I feel less guilty.

Why does everyone think i'm a girl?! I'm not even gay, much less a legit girl!
Can you write in cursive, anyway? I can't. I'd love to see my name on cursive!

C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S on graduation! what grade are you in again? fyi, it's not even called 'grade' here. Or junior/senior etc. I'm so nice to accomodate to others' terminology ^^ *self-praise*

I'd definitely like to see pictures and a report on your prom date! (and any surprises he had in store for you on prom day) ^^

that bad? :/

hey hey! I was just about to get to bed. I've a loooong day tomorrow. Still awake?

You know what?! I typed everything then i accidentally pressed back and now every thing is gone ugh.

Soooooo what's inside the thousand year dressing?

I never knew how soups could become soups without meat, so you're free to commit this sin ;) the soups I have usually requires a huge slab of pork for it to have any taste substance. Everything else is vegetables though. Recently I've been eating the whole slab of pork used to cook the soup and it tastes so bloody good even though it has had it's life sucked out for the soup's aroma.

Carnivore's excitement. I apologize.
