battle of the scales amongst other things

the previous blog marked my last happy moment before my cough took a turn for the worst and had the last laugh.

last week was pretty bad. trying to fend off deadlines with a two-day mc was sure not easy, neither was it cheap. went to the clinic, waited and waited in line just to give the doc 15 dollars in exchange for a stupid piece of paper. i felt so silly after that.

i spent my weekend editing my nm2101 project till i was blue in the face. felt like i singlehandedly salvaged the project from the dumps and flagrant carelessness annoys the f**k out of me. hello, don't give me you don't know how to paraphrase and cite your sources crap. i didn't bathe (yikes) and lounged ard the living room like a shabby wastrel. goof says serve me right for offering to be the general editor but i didn't expect them to produce such... mediocrity. i'm glad i did it anyway because their work obviously can't be trusted. but i had fun when wen came to stay over and do work (but slept instead) on friday night. :)

this week will be worse. much much worse. 2 projects, one 2,000-word filmnhist essay, lots of mini ones and itty bitty assignments along the way before the exams hit you smack in the face. sigh. i'm starting to hate filmnhist, i'm not doing well in it. argh. i'm pretty pissed that i have never once utilise the free media pass issued by gv vivocity for attending their press conference. it entitles two to free movies for the whole month of october and i meant to take goof along with me. but i've never used it all because my only free weekend was ruined by my cough! damn. bloody wasted.

november also spells the equivalent of extended periods of No-Goof-In-Sight. i'd prob be constantly mooning for him here so watch out. but then again, it's nothing you're not used to.

want to meet up with alex once the exams wrap up. meiwen, ling, xian, edna too. attending a windsurfing camp with joyce this dec. maybe i'll visit all my alma maters this time round too. because well, it is gonna be my last official real holiday before i graduate next sem afterall. -shrugs-

the one thing good that came out of my bout of sickness is weight loss. 55kg now, much closer to my original target of 52. and psst, lol, goof's 71! -sticks tongue out- i realise it climbs to 57 as aunt ruby approaches. i should be happy with it. i am, but i feel the same and i want more. but i promise to stop obsessing over it if i ever drop as low as 48. that sounds so impossible man. goof prefers 50 but what the hell. nonsense leh, give take one or two kg won't die right.

chandran says the profile i did for media writing could be published in campus observer. that was the best thing i heard today.

happy halloween.
