Beeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy week.

There's quite a lot that happened this past week that was worth blogging about, it's just that I couldn't quite find the time to do it. Here are a couple of highlights:

-my interview for my attachment position went alright. all that's left is for the organization to screen me for bad behaviour or so-called brushes with the law and then I'm probably cool with the 5-month stint.

-school work is piling up, getting done, piling up, and getting done again. I forsee another 2 weeks of this, and I'm done for the entire semester! awesomes.

-I've officially graduated from being a guitar-intern after one whole year in the youth's worship ministry. it feels weird, knowing I'll be taking up more responsibilities and playing more often during services. Somehow, it didn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling of accomplishment I had thought it would give. I still feel small and insignificant. wait, I AM small; but I reject insignificance! I know the big guy is watching and guiding me through. Worship's not about me anyway.

another epic week awaits.

Marketing, Logistics, Events Management, Mass Communication, Admin, psychology.

The mad rush for internship places is over. My heart rate went above 120bpm as I refreshed the bidding screen at 9.59pm. Frankly, the internship jobs offer us everything else that has got little to do with psychology. I managed to get one out of two prestigious places at the police psychological services division. Lucky bitch I am, as meiling just described me.

It's research work for the 5 months of internship I'll go through. awesome.


In other unrelated news, I managed to fix an electrical socket all by myself. While it was LIVE.

One of the two pins of my plastic two pin plug broke inside the socket, and I had to dismantle the entire thing to get it out. The tools I used were a cheapo Swiss army knife and a screwdriver. While fiddling the socket to get the broken pin out, I accidentally screwed myself -not with the screwdriver- by loosening too many screws which caused the copper bits inside the socket to fall out. Two copper pieces fell out and I spent thirty minutes trying to find out which piece goes where, and how to balance the switch mechanism without getting electrocuted. It was a nerve-wrecking moment, trying not to touch the live wire and the earth wire at the same time.

Well, I managed to fix the socket back at last. and I'm pretty proud. It is good to be alive.

What now? Electrical Engineering?

THE EARLY WEEKEND.

The problem with being expectant and visionary about the future of one's life is that things almost always never go the way it is supposed to. Screw that guy, Memphis? Morpheus? oh, that's right. Murphy and his bloody law.

Of course, we're all not bound to it because some of us are strong-willed enough to never accept the shitty circumstances in life, like this guy. Weak minded people like me, however, suffer from learned helplessness; a brick room with no windows or doors, built by my own negative perceptions of present time and past experiences, encapsulates me.

Why? Because I can't see the good in all that I'm slogging so hard for. I tell myself that I really want to look further and think long-term, but all this junk impairs my long-range vision. The question arises again, "What's the point." And the cycle continues.

Who am I kidding. The current situation has absolutely nothing to do with Murphy or his law. Everything that happens happens as a result of thoughts, feelings and ultimately, actions that change the course of one's life.

Can I borrow someone's dog. First of all, it has to have an appetite for homework.


I need to action more.

Sunday.

School starts tomorrow.

wait, what?

Orange, its the colour of an orange!

I was searching for the song "Rainbow Connection" by Paul Williams; you know, kermit the frog performed it. So I typed in "rainbow song" in youtube. This is what I found.



Talk about epic win.

homework is undone.

monday.

I told myself I would start on some work this week.

I did; it wasn't much.

but it still feels like an epic phail. I found myself purposely looking for distractions and other things to do so that I can escape the tasks at hand. The mountain is daunting and cold. I just want to leap off the side of the cliff and parachute into wilderness; and be free. Except I'll probably die due to the lack of survival skills or get eaten by bears. Maybe I'll bring some of my homework out with me and feed it to the bears. The perfect cliche excuse. Bears ate my homework.

Oh look, H1N1. the most cruel prank to do right now on any stranger on the street is to cough or sneeze right smack in his or her face. epic phunny. But I can only imagine the response. "AHHH!! IT BURNSS!" oh, that's more of acidic mucus.

There's talk about an extended holidays. Awesome; more time away from my classmates whom I have an inferiority complex against.

Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I can haz ugly brown slippers.

Today, I broke my my sister's slippers in school. To replace them, I bought a pair of feather-light slippers from cheers at only $3.50! what a bargain. Anyway, I found some super-glue and managed to glue the old slippers back. Yes, I am cheap, and practical.

super-glue is win.
