Indonesia got struck by earthquakes yesterday.The magnitudes were so great that even Singapore felt it.People like Yan and Dai Ling actually got to feel it.Call me a sick freak but I've always wanted to feel a tremor.I think it's cool,to feel the ground shaking.Today,first period,Geography class.It was around 7.53 in the morning and I was trying to pay attention to Mrs Khoo when I suddenly felt dizzy.I thought I must have been so tired and sleepy that I was actually swaying,I even thought I might have gone bonkers.Then suddenly the class got so noisy,Mrs Khoo was trying to shut us up and I got annoyed at the commotion when suddenly Dai Ling shouted "Tremors!Tremors!" And that got us all excited.I was pretty disappointed that I didn't feel anything but then I remembered the wave of dizziness I had and brightened up immediately.The class was abuzz with everyone recounting what they felt,some tables were even shaking.I was still feeling dizzy half an hour after the shaking stopped.I figured it was a new earthquake that struck and not a tremor as Dai Ling had screamed cause the fact that we felt it means it was pretty big.I got home and asked my mum and true enough,there was an earthquake this morning,registering 8.3 on the Richter scale.I didn't experience a tremor,I experienced an earthquake.WAY awesome.French Oral yesterday wasn't that awesome though.I'd like to say it was easy but it wasn't really.But it wasn't I-thought-I-was-going-to-die difficult either.I mean I understood the questions and could more or less say what I wanted to.Out of so many people who were supposed to take the oral,only a few of us showed up.The teachers were literally begging for students to test,according to Zaf and Moo since I arrived later.(So maybe they'll give us marks for actually showing up!)Originally my test time was at 5.10 but I took it at 4 instead what with nobody around.And afterward,Zaf,Moo,Syaf and I went to eat at the hawker centre in J8.They got a shock at what a picky eater I am.Syaf actually choked on her chendol(which I can't stand).They were talking about food and I didn't know/like nearly everything they talked about,nasi rawan,nasi amber,air kathira and what-have-you.If you don't already know,I'm probaly one of the pickiest eaters around.I'm part Indian but I cannot stand Indian food,especially thosai,I'll throw up.I don't exactly like Malay food either.And when I go to Macs,I order a cheeseburger and use the pickle to scrape out the onions(which I don't ever eat unless they're mashed up and I can't see it all)I don't eat ice kacang or cup corn or eclairs and I don't even like Milo(much to Hannah's chagrin)and well it's a pretty long list but it's not like I'm starving or anything,I mean I'm still alive aren't I?Syaf insists that I'm being deprived of good food.I beg to differ.I hardly think I'm being deprived at all.I mean there's pasta and nachos and pizza and lasagne and of course there's chocolates. That's what you call good food!
I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
Lifehouse is good.
