& your soul is all i ever wanted

need to get into the composing mood...

Yeap, need to get into the mood for my essay. so i'm going to totally talk rubbish here, apologies to readers for this mess, but I realise my brain is more fluid and creative after I'm on a high...

Today = tired, high, sian, stoned.
Yesterday = VERY tired, happy

After assembly this morning a couple of classmates commented I looked different from the back (@-o. omg do i look fatter???) At first I thought it was cz i braided my hair (image for public speaking) but they said i seem to have a "happy aura". Me: what?? i didnt get enough sleep and you're saying i have a happy aura? *cluelessness*

But wow gee? Happy aura? hahaha. this sounds interestingly good...

Well that was this morning. Mr Ong was amazingly LATE for class today due to some external matters. Proof that my classmates are all angelic: me and Nian Nian went to look for him. LOL. like we even succeeded... but he appeared anyway and I think he really enjoyed class today. We must have been the PERFECT class this morning...wahaha...probably cz we were all so happy we skipped HALF of BIO!!! lol!!! HAHA. (i dunno what to say here ^^;;;)

after bio i had GP, and today we had the preliminary rounds of impromptu speaking. me -> selected as representative of 14/05 by our GP tutor (thanks!) Considering I spent the whole of last night filing my GP and chatting on a most delicious intellectual discussion of law and what is right, I WAS TOTALLY NOT PREPARED!! SO i decided, what the heck, I'll just give it my best shot and have fun. Options presented on 2 topics, Science and Politics. For Science, the title was, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" while for Politics it was "Leaders are born, not bred" I chose the former to speak on. Quick prep brainstorming for 2 mins, then, whoosh! Now we'll hear from Christine... Here I must pause and thank all my classmates who cheered for me when I stepped into the venue. 14/05 you guys just rock!!! your encouraging faces really inspired me, suddenly I didn't feel nervous anymore, I was going to entertain these people! LOL. (haha, really, that's what i think 70% of public speaking is about)
Christine gets introduced..

Chairperson: Now Christine will speak on her topic, A journey of.... (etc)
~Collective woosh of people breathing out~
christine's innter thoughts: oh $***, they've heard this one too many times!!
Christine starts talking:

Thank you. *pause* Wow. I think I just heard a *breathes hard into mike* there, I think you've all heard this one too many times? Dammit I should have chosen the other topic but oh well (OMG HOW THE HELL DID THAT "DAMMIT" GET THERE???? @-O oh gosh, scratch that!! *corrects self: HOW ON EARTH DID THAT PROFANITY GET THERE????). Since I've taken the FIRST step and chosen this topic, A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Now on first hearing this topic, you'd probably think, what on EARTH does this have to do with science?? (i wanted to say heck but....restrained myself. I think Mr Larry Lee noticed) It's an English idiom for heaven's sake, english and science *draws little arrows in air* no relation??? but, ladies and gentlemen *conts to speech*

i can't remember what else I said word for word, but i think that intro....well I need to get it out of my system. By the time I was talking about Dalton and his atom, it hit on me that a better eg would be Newton and his apple (Was talking about how scientific discovories don't fall from the sky) SO i talked about Newton and unfortuntately I had this personal image of apple falling on newton's head, and newton points to apple and goes: YOUUUU. APPPLEEEE!! why do you fall on meeee!!!! (acted this out for audience and was almost hysterical with laughter, i was enjoyinng myself sooo much) Then I decided upon spotting the red card (i have no idea what it meant but i knew i'd better stop soon) to tone down, spoke seriously for the last couple of seconds and yayness!! It was OVER.

I enjoyed myself to the MAX, we'll see how the results are ^^. Keep ya fingers crossed for me guys!! I promise I'll prepare properly next time!! hahaha... and I hope you enjoyed that verbatim report!!

*breathes*
okay I think it's out of the system. I have the following things to do today so that I'll be happy tonight.
1. TYPE that commonwealth essay
2. do miss chen's card
3. do maths tutorial
4. finish GP work

ooh, today we were talking about high intake of salt and hypertension during Bio. Suddenly christine's brain flew to MSG and her headaches (A symptom of hyper tension according to Mr Ong) and Christine goes :@_@.... now that I've checked online...*breathes sigh of relief* I don't THINK i have it. LOL. but still. irritating msg....i think I'll just live on apples.... baa....baa....

lilmissCK: think I've got the hype for the essay now!

'I dreamt that I was composing a symphony....I had gone to my table to begin writing it down when I suddenly reflected: "If I write this part I shall let myself be carried on to write the rest. The natural tendency of my mind to expand the material is sure to make it very long...When the symphony is finished I shall be weak enough to allow my copyist to copy it out, and thus immediately incur a debt of 1,000 or 1,200 francs. Once the parts are copied I shall be harassed by the temptation to have the work performed; I shall give a concert in which, as is sure to be the case in these days, the receipts will barely cover half the expenses; I shall lose what I have not got; I shall want the necessaries of life for my poor invalid, and shall have no money for either myself or for my son's keep on board ship!"...I threw down my pen saying, "Bah! I shall have forgotten the symphony tomorrow." But the following night the obstinate symphony again presented itself...'
- Berlioz writing about a nightmare he had during the 1850s
