Unpolished Gem

Nah, two pictures of Eiffel by night! I'm too lazy to upload the rest!

Bonjour! I am home! Back to the comfort of my little own room. What a trip full of unexpected twists and surprises. It's hard to put everything down into words. Let's start with the bad. Probably the worst thing I would have imagined happening on a holiday... getting your entire bag stolen. In Nice. It's such a jinxed place I will never go back there again i swear. not only did i lose my bag, it also cost us a bomb to get to paris from nice, leaving us poor to the bone in Paris! After losing my wallet last term, I have been super paranoid about my valuables, alas, fate has it that i was to lose not just my wallet but the whole bag as well. Including passport, camera and phone. The 3 most important things. I was careless for 20sec. I left my bag on the floor at the table to get some mayonnaise and that was all it took. I remember that desperate rush to the door to give chase, running down the dark alleys, not knowing where to turn to. And I knew it was gone. The Puma bag wit...

Oh, Les mis was a blast! I like it so much! Vera... I can so imagine you'd love this! Singing along to all those lyrics that you can memorise. Fantastic! I'm off to France tomorrow, hope it'll be a blast! And away with the riots... please please! See you guys soon with pictures ;) Study hard for your exams!

"I wake up Thoughts of you Tattooed to my mind As I wonder What to wear What to eat Who to be Will I see you again" -with courtesy from miss hf's blog. I wish I could wake up and forget this folliness on my part ever happened. Grow up Grow up Grow up.

And guess what... i will finish my exams by 22nd MAY. Oh my... that's like how fast... the exams span all of one week. the bad thing is... IR is immediately after econs. BAH. Har? Hope i'll be all ready to conquer the papers by then, haha. That's like in 2 months time, in 2 months time... i'll be free as a bird. That leaves me almost a month before i go home, wonder what i can do with so much time. We'll see how it goes... but oh, i can't wait for 22nd May.

Come, let's bitch about the weather. Have I told you how I would always curse under my breath as i walk back home from school. Even though it's just a short 10 minute walk away. Yeah, i've been cursing for months, and i don't think i will stop cursing anytime soon. Check.. weather forecast for next 5 days.. is still.. what -1 to 6 degrees. NO!!! Check, Barcelona is 14degrees today. Ah, now i feel like going to Spain cos France is still so cold. NO!!! This is not happening! Come, let's bitch about my pro-Singaporeanism. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing but I just realize I have practically zero foreign friends except for those in my IR class. IR rocks... see, studying international relations gives you international friends. Yeah, I was slapped in the face at the DPM Wong Kan Seng dinner when one of the guys i spoke to was scolding all those people who knew only Singaporeans. Like OUCH. Which is pretty true anyway. It was quite funny the way he said... "Yo...

I was working on the essay in the library today and i found myself smiling to myself more often than actually writing anything down on the paper. This is ridiculous!

Sometimes, i just want to KILL myself! Agony... pure agony!!!

Did you know? I don't believe this man, just checked the weather forecast and it's still so cold until next Wednesday at least(as far as the weather forecast can go). Flor, your resources not reliable lah!!! This is so upsetting, I wanna peel off layers and go running, but the weather... tomorrow is...(drumrolls ...) 2degrees to 2 degrees. What is this??? I slept until the latest time yet, because of the slumber party at 419. Before that, we had steamboat and then our guest-of-honour made her grand entrance at 10.30pm with almond jelly, chocolate cake and we boiled some tang yuan. It was so funny and fun, girls rock! Hahahaha. And, thanks for entertaining my frivolous thoughts, all the endless possibilities, it all sounded so possible and i woke up this morning with a clear head ( vs spouting nonsense at 4am in the morning) to realize that perhaps it was just wild fantasizing. Haha, but it was good while it lasted ;) The Big "I" returns, conquer the demon you must!

"I" has been bugging me! I wish it just dropped down from the sky. I love magic, stuff dropping down from the sky. How unrealistic. BAH! But what's got to be done has to be done... I mean serious business here. I met my IR teacher today and i absolutely love him. He's so kind and encouraging I almost feel bad that I didn't do my work better, seriously, i almost felt embarrassed and that's a really weird feeling, never imagined a teacher could invoke such emotions. Anyway, yeah, he's the perfect American gentleman, I LIKE! Polite, humorous, smart, charismatic. awwwwwww! I saw his research paper on public diplomacy and nearly fainted, it's supposed to be a 330 page report! Brilliant stuff. Less than 2 weeks to the end of term, getting fidgety and restless. I wanna go France already. An essay more to go, can't believe the academic year is more or less coming to a conclusion! Like werrrrrrrt! Too fast... too fast! Looking forward to a weekend of great ...

Spent the past 3 hours browsing online. Saw a whole load of nice stuff! Oh well.. talk about wasting time...!!! Mad about flats.

EH! somebody stole my brand new bottle of jam! I don't believe this! Maybe someone broke the entire bottle and is too cowardly to admit it! And i just bought 2 croissants that were supposed to be reduced price but they charged me the original price! Why am I paying the original for nearly expired croissants! Irritating!

US! Volleyballers, kinda. Haha! Me, adrian, justin, mich, jiaying marvin and me. director sengteck and me Girlies! Eehui, Angela, me, Gillian and Chermain Thank you you guys! Anyway! i'm so pissed! I wanted to delete one particular photo that was repeated and stupid blogger deleted all the photos i painstakingly uploaded! This sucks! So, the number of photos have been reduced to these few. Angry!!!

Ah! Yesterday's performance was a blast! I forgot my lines without knowing! How cool is that! But yeah, i enjoyed myself so much, my last one hour 20 min of fame. Hahaha! I am so glad everyone liked madam white snake! I've probably done it so many times to actually find "her" that funny. But oh well! Now that SPL is over, it feels kinda weird to not have to go down to london bridge everyday! Ah, the audience's laughter and applause it what's gonna keep me going back for more of it. I'm a "hopeless attention seeker" in that sense, i love the feeling of everyone watching me act. Hahahahahahah! London games today, played volleyball where we got "thrashed" but still emerged second cos there were only two teams playing! Haha, yay, got a medal. What's worst.. its LSE vs LSE. And netball, was well COLD. I hate playing in the cold! Oh i miss mih so! That last glimpse... how precious! Now, i'm thinking of when i will niagamihees. BLAH!!!...

Last night was a blast! In spite floundering my lines, i was on such a high... except the initial few minutes after the show, where i thought i screwed up. The audience didn't even know the show ended until backstage started clapping... i nearly died! But thank you so much for all your encouragement, feedback, comments, i knew all the effort hasn't gone to waste. Thank you you all for the flowers as well, as jx said, yes, i felt like a big star! I wonder why i was so frustrated just a week or so back... but thanks Gerald for encouraging me to never give up what i love doing. Tonight, will be the last night. Of all my Hi my name is tracy tan's. I think i'll miss it when it's over. But man, i'm going to put in all my heart and soul... i promise. Just a sidenote... tasted the most amazing milkeshake ever. It's banana peanut butter milkshake. I know it sounds gross, but it's really fantastic! I think 3 ppl sharing is a good number, cos it's a pretty huge...

The Big day is finally here. I have so much confidence in our production! Our last full dress and i flopped my lines and completely didnt appear to do my scene at a certain part. Gosh, how freaky. But all is ironed out and i'm sure things will work out tmr and friday. I'm so excited!!! But i'm so tired tooooooo.... but i'm so excited tooooooo. Blah, extremely incoherent now, my eyelids are half closed again. Of all weeks to change class time, it had to be THIS week. 9 am class, it's 1 am now... i'm so dead meat. And i haven't finished my homework for tomorrow! Ooops. SPL... bring it on!
