trouble..

Oh no, I see,
A spiderweb, it's tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I said,
Oh no what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.

-- trouble -- coldplay --

i've heard of people saying that displaying lyrics on one's blog is lame and stupid. sometimes i agree. u know, when people place them becos they think it's cool, it's lame to many. but of cos, i'm placing it not just cos it's cool, but becos these lyrics sound so apt. in certain aspects of me life. anyway, lovely lyrics and lovely melody. i heard coldplay performin this song in singapore when i was in jc2. superb..

week3 of school is about to end. haven't done much. but that's what an ee year 3 be doing. slacking and taking it easy after two tough years. then again, i was almost always this relak in the first few weeks of school. difference lie mainly in the fact that i come home at 11am, 12noon, 2pm nowadays rather than 4-6pm timings. i'm home the earliest amongst my housemates. now that i mentioned them, i officially declare that raj and marvin are good people. they're people that one can live with.. if u can take their extremely high levels of energy..

saturday's passed. sunday's coming. wednesday's almost here. suzi will be here soon! hasta pronto, mi amiga!

school's starting!

i've always felt a tinge of excitement and anticipation when school's about to start. even when i was young at a boys school (no new hot girls to check out..), i looked forward to the start of school. it was only last year when i didn't feel this way. first year in uni, still new, still a fresher. thought uk uni life would be happening la. but no..! all i remembered was lectures and labs. ok, it was still fun in different ways, but i didn't look forward to second year after that. second year, i knew our workload was shit. i knew we had tonnes of lab and reports and stuff.

this year, sin embargo, it's different. we have fewer lectures. more time at home like our pure sciences counterparts. it'll be good i hope. only thing that spoils it, is our early exams in april. nonetheless, i've been waiting for that first lecture. to see if i will stay awake throughout. i'll be proud of myself if i managed to. hence, after blogging, i shall go to sleep. early.

prior to this week, i had been in valencia spending time with suzi. it was fun. it was an eye opener. i knew more non-singaporeans properly than my first two years in imperial. there are hardly any singaporean there when i was there. no singsoc in university of valencia. it was great. great to experience proper overseas studying. i didn't study of cos. all i did was walk around the valencian streets. checked out her uni. hanged out with suzi's new found italian, finnish friends. real good experience to know people from other countries. eating good food. spending time with her.

my spanish has also been rid of its rust. after last year's exams, i stopped using it until valencia. i had to speak a little here and there. i brought my self study spanish book to brush up my espanol. had opportunities to speak to real spaniards. and i even got to talk to a random old spanish man in the plaza.

anyway, it was great that suzi had stuff planned for me. like the once-a-year bullfight that we went, held in a small town called algemeis, south of valencia. all in all, good. haha. seems like i can't get enough of the place huh. actually, it's enough. the small city. but of cos, i'll be back for suzi.

okay. that's my short update for you people... adios y hasta luego!
