chinese and IH today pretty much sucked. D: while the whole world was condemning IH to the bottom of their toilet bowls yesterday, i was studying for chinese. yet i still think im going to fail the freaking paper. D:

im afraid for IH. unlike, others, i kinda really like IH and how thought provoking and insightful the whole thing is. how you discuss these types of tangible or non-existant stuffs and concepts, it's all just really cool (even though i absolutely suck at it). it takes alot to really get your facts right and produce a paper but i guess it's all really worth it. :D

i really want to score for IH but my short, short script tells me i havent written enough to.

need to study GAMELAN(:D), excretion and chinese music. i feel quite confident for music when i havent even touched it yet, and ironically, i have no confidence for math at all.

okay, and geog is D: fail again. it's like re-anacting the whole scene for IH AGAIN.

oh and i've been influenced by mok to listen to good charlotte's "we believe".

totally regained my respect for them. i love that song so much, it's like the first song that's not of tokio hotel's to let me have goosebumps listening to it, and the lyrics are just beautiful.

thankyou for not undermining the value of music. :D
