Spring. is (almost) here=)

for sure. i can smell it, it's just two days away. all that separates me from it is (are-_-), well, two days, an essay, math homework, laundry, and response paper one page long. that's all man. here i come.
let me talk of our absolut springbreak plan:
we're gonna drive around the midwest (ah, so sian, you think. but we'll prove you wrong!) starting off from home here in champaign illinois, go southwest a little to st.louis missouri. eat our way down basically. and we'll continue on to arkansas where we'll be staying in a haunted hotel (mommy!!!). after that we'll be driving as much as we can west, perhaps the whole of sunday for 10+ hours, hit tennessee, and hopefully by monday we'll start on some activities such as whitewater rafting, mountain biking (i hear it's not season yet though;( ), kayaking, gokarting.. we're staying in a cabin in kentucky as well. and after that it's head on home). i have a feeling i'll be pretty exhausted by then. but i look forward to long distance driving=) so that by next next week, the midwestern games week, i'll be fine as an interstate driver! yahoo.
speaking of mwg. don't feel too good about it.. the week after that i've got 3 midterms. and it's gonna take up the whole weekend. sigh. even in a normal week i have difficulty churning out all the hw due for the week. i guess i'm just a bit worn out by 9 weeks straight of school and work.
but i look forward to mwg, seeing friends and all. yeah;)
but i've had my fun during these few weeks too.
well anyway the past week...nothing much happened. oh junwan got her license yesterday morning. i went down with aldrich and her early in the morning, and i'm really proud of her to have passed. she definitely was much better than previously, alot calmer.=) good. but she still doesn't like to drive that much...
oh yeah sq allowed me to try his eclipse last weekend.=))). eh. first gear only. gimme some time man.
oh yeah and he and i have mailed in an application for motorbike lessons. -raise eyebrows-. -jumps up and down-. harhar. later on, end of april. see how it goes. hope i don't fall over.
oh yeah last friday we sorta had a movie marathon again. but a whole bunch of us watched ultraviolet, but after that most of them left and only joshua mark one of the exchange students and i were left to watch. -horrors-. the hills have eyes. omg. just thinking of the name still sends shivers down my back. it was...traumatic. yes junrong you should watch it because you won't Ever get to see this kinda things in singapore. traumatised. i could just imagine hon watching it and responding 10 times worse than me (i was crying and bewildered and traumatised and broken down. no joke.) no Don't watch it hon=S scarred for life. ok i realise i'm just tempting pple to watch it by not revealing enough. if you're emotionally and mentally weak right (i think i'm Ok lar, not that weak) i advise against it.
but i found it interesting that the plot and scenes were powerful enough to provoke such responses you see. hmm interesting.
ultraviolet was eh. the fight scenes were nice, exaggerated, but some were pretty original. but the plot was cmi. harhar. ah well, milla jovovich lar. that's the only reason.
saturday i was pretty fed up already, yes that was when i started feeling it. junwan joshua and mark were at indianapolis with janice, but i couldn't join them coz i had sth in the morning. anyway, so fiona and i were left. poor fiona doing her mp at everitt. harhar EEs, my heart goes out to you. ;) so she told me of her Grand Plan for Saturday Evening. girls' night out. we went to the mall, had dinner, shopped around, then to walmart (i promised her a walmart trip over the weekend;). on our way there it was raining so heavily even at the highest speed the windscreen wiper made no difference. so i stopped for a while. i had driven onto a small country road before that, it was long and going into the darkness. quite a pretty sight actually. and then you can see the flashes of lightning, almost perpendicular to the ground. harhar interesting, it was like nothingness, and out of the nothingness came streaks of lightning. but we were quite scared i must confess. so i stopped a while. after walmart we went to jarling's which is open! yay. fiona was just crooning over the strawberry shortcake snowstorm/blizzard (sth along those lines) harhar good that you liked it=). didn't really like the custard though, sorta blands (pales) in comparison.. anyway, it was a nice evening out=).

grrr. the duke boys are on holiday and are damn free (i keep forgetting that i'm not supposed to be free-_-). NvM. Soon it'll be My turn. at lots of things i hope.;).
