? I love to see his smile back at me & I know he is happy ¿
Damn, ain't it crazy when you're loveswept.
I'm so in love with Jason Reeves & the song Permanent. It's been on repeat since I got it until now. I've yet to put it into my iPod. I shall do it tomorrow morning :)
Woke up, washed up, make up & rushed out of the house to meet Zoe at Compass Point. We took a train down to Outram & went to Health Promotion Board. Wasted 45 minutes there just to collect a pair of concert tickets. School was definitely boring today but still bearable. When Mr San talked about sex, everyone seemed so awake. Tsk tsk so I told Zoe, the one topic that you can be sure to wake the entire humanbody up is sex. And she agreed. Especially boys. Tsk tsk see the way they get excited, aiyo!
An English professor wrote the words: 'A woman without her man is nothing' on the chalkboard & asked his students to punctuate it correctly. All the males in the class wrote: 'A woman, without her man, is nothing.' All the females in the class wrote: 'A woman: without her, man is nothing.'
Punctuation is powerful.
You're the Wall-E to my Eve.
I love you ♥
I love you ♥

There's no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indices.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by
ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell on one day and cold as hell another?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
People, not computers invented English, and it reflects the creativity of the human race
(which, of course, is not a race at all).
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it!

Interesting much? If it didn't end at 6pm today, I'd have really enjoyed myself. But thanks for that extra an hour. I felt like dying. I am so damn tired! :( :( And there's presentation tomorrow. Fuck it I don't know even about it until today oh my tian :( :( I am desperately in need of sleep &comfort!

Have I mentioned how much I hate it when I text someone & they don't reply me? I find it so damn rude & I really hate it. I don't wanna sound like a bitchy kid but I will do the same back to you when you are in need of my help, or hoping to see my reply. Well, if you think that you're not in the wrong when you don't reply, then I am telling you now that you are. You are so rude. And I hate you. I hate you for not replying me when I am looking forward to your next reply 'cos I have the courage to finally tell you what I've been bottling up inside the past seventeen days!
< /RANT >
But apart from that, you made me smile thrice today. Once for feeling better, once for your name on my screen, once for "remember?" :) And I've lost the "I love you sunshine!" feeling I used to get from you. I've lost it, are you happy? :[
How our love can be this real but still not be good enough for you?
