High school life has got nothing on this shit.
A good night’s sleep is rare. Like getting 4.0 in engineering. Rare gem.

Cafeteria food is expensive shit. Expensive and shit.
Wear sensible shoes.
Eating while ~~walking~~ rushing to class is a great survival skill.

It’s a competitive dog-eats-dog world in here. God knows what's going on out there.
Everyone’s planned to get married after graduating, and if you don’t, you’re wrong.
Re: previous, fuck you.
Your worthiness is directly proportional to your CGPA.
Sometimes you hit bottom low and will feel like jumping out of the window (please don’t, Lisa).
How to get ready and be on time for 8.30 am class when you accidentally wake up at 8.15.
How to complete your assignments at the 11th hour.
Make friends with seniors, it will help you get access to their exam papers, assignments and quizzes.
TUTORIAL CLASS IS IMPORTANT (well, if you have a great tutor, that is. Most of mine are shit)
Don’t beat yourself up for spending more than ten bucks a day. (Re: expensive food)

Coffee is your best friend.
You’ll meet great people, and you’ll meet not-so great people. Ditch the toxic ones.

The whole thing about meeting your other half in uni: BULL. AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT—

Maybe if I stopped obsessing about other people's words, I could learn how to write my own.

Sometimes I feel like pushing you off a cliff.

2013-05-12T18:09:00.001+08:00

You know I love you, right?
But godfrickindamn it, you make it so hard to like you.

It's like I want to push you off a cliff,
And jump right after with a parachute, to save you.

Because I love you.
But oh my goodness you're so hard to like.

Can you not--

2013-05-12T02:28:00.001+08:00

Your fucking smile is a trigger.

So what’s new? : Don’t leave me alone with my thoughts.

2013-05-11T20:34:00.001+08:00

Current fav: Clarity (ft Foxes) – Zedd.

I keep listening to heartbreak songs lately. 8tracks has tons of mixes dedicated to the broken hearted, so I’m having fun.

Current playlist:

You Never Were And You Never Will Be Mine from arietta on 8tracks Radio.

I keep getting lost in words lately. I realized recently that the more chaotic my mind is, the more I try to lose myself; which is why you can find me reading and finishing two, three books in a short time span. In fact, the more I feel stressed out, the more I read. I try to flush out the crazy thoughts in my head and replace them with other people’s thoughts.

Total posts for May have reached the double-digits, thanks to the six-word stories I’ve been doing. Sometimes I have these random lines in my head that I need to let out, and it’s a fun challenge to fit everything into six words.

Ugh, school.

Finals are in two weeks, and to say that I’m freaking out is an understatement.

I will awkwardly end this post now.

As you go.

2013-05-11T11:37:00.001+08:00

I wonder how many decisions are
Made in the Tube
Like I am now contemplating my
Entire existence as I travel from
My house to the bookstore.

Things that went down today.

2013-05-08T16:25:00.001+08:00

* Late Night

Ate a birthday cupcake/muffin thing at
12.13 am. Oh, the calories I take in for
the ones I love!
Anis, happy 23rd.

Forced myself to sleep instead of
finishing Down London Road. I’d be
glad to do the latter if not for
the 8.30 am class.

Darn.

* Morning ritual

“Lisa, Subuh.”
I had probably hit snooze twice
by then.

Untangled my legs and stumbled out of bed at 8 am.

Proud is when I managed to
iron my clothes,
take a shower,
get ready,
and
eat a Nutella sandwich

all by 8.15 am.

* Cell class

No.
Wait.
What the fuck
do you mean we have a quiz
today?

…I didn’t study.

* Lunch break

Irrational is to skip lunch when I only had sandwich for breakfast.
Irrational is to take a nap when I should be sorting out my mountain load of work.
Irrational is to read while waiting for said nap to hit.

But haven’t you heard?
I’m the Queen of Irrational Decision-making.

…Head Bitch in Charge, peasants.

* I swear it wasn’t intentional

Woke up in bed at
2.35 pm when I
should be in
my 2 pm class.

Oh, well.

I tweeted it out and went to the bathroom.

* Currently

The outside world looks grey and
smells like salt water.

I guess swimming is out then?

* Maybe later

I should
stop stalling
and
start working.

Deadlines are gnawing my arse
off right now
and
contrary to what the parental unit
thinks or
thinks I should think,
I rather like my arse
the way it is,

thank you.

* Much, much later

I am
half realist,
half dreamer.

The dreamer side of me wishes for that electric connection with a guy who is not fictional.
The realist side of me wishes I am a cat person; that would come in handy in the future.

Damn Samantha Young and your sexy alpha male leads.
Hello to the future of being a crazy old cat lady with a library of books and a trunk load of
pent-up frustration.

The underachieving undergrad.

2013-05-08T08:36:00.001+08:00

All-nighter. Blanked out. Flunked paper. "Shit."
