I had to go back to school to return my library books and was pleasantly surprised to find yuanjing and co studying in school. So i joined them and pretty soon, we were *ahem* taking study breaks.
One benefit of studying in school is that you get freebies! And today's freebie was red bull. We had to listen to the pretty promoter talk abt the virtues of red bull before she opened it for us but here's a pic of the nice brochure that comes along with it! I don't particularly like the drawing of the cow though.

While i know jie jie was a fan of the red bull series during her swimming days, i have never tasted it so i decided to be brave and sample some today! And then i immediately regretted it. It's a bit cough syrupy x 10000.
In a joint effort to ignore the notes, we started mucking about and soon came up with the following video. This is what Adel is like after one sip of red bull.
urrrgghh. The cut off part was me saying "batteries not included."
As the exams approach, i find myself pondering more over topics which are not only totally unrelated, but silly and mundane as well. For example, i heard the song "Single" by Natasha Beddingfield today and the significance of the song lyrics just rang oh-so-true for me.
"Single" by Natasha Beddingfield
Im not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos Im happy where I am)
Dont depend on a guy to validate me
I dont need to be anyones baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I dont need another half to make me whole
Dont need to be on somebodys arm to look good
(I like who I am)
Im not saying I dont wanna fall in love cause I would
Im not gonna get hooked up just cause you say I should
Doesn't it echo your exact sentiments? Well, it does for me. It irks me somewhat when people go "why no boyfriend? isn't there anyone??" Is it really neccessary for one to have a significant other before one is considered successful? Is there no other topic to embark on?
I'm not gonna be a feminist who goes "BOYS ARE EVILLLLLL!" and go on a bra burning rampage. Of course i hope to settle down one day. If such a future comes then hooray.. If not, so be it.. In fact, it might even turn out better than the life i hoped for. It's just that after all the failed relationships i've gone through, i don't want to get together with a person just because i need the company. What kind of lame- ass reason is that? What are friends and families for? Plus, what's wrong with a little "me" time? Falling in love with the idea of love is just the worst kind ever.
It's like Snow White, waiting ard for her Prince Charming to save her. Ahem She could have just walked out on her stepmom, not open the door to strangers and just saved herself. Why is there a need to pine for a man (in tights) to do all that simple stuff for her?
Like the song lyrics go, i don't need a man to validate who i am. I don't need someone to assure me how awesome i am or i don't know.. do whatever boyfriends do.
So, no. I do not have any boyfriend or crushes. No, i do not see any "potential". I'm very happy ogling cute strangers, hanging out with my friends and basically kicking back to enjoy life. Life's pretty good, irregardless of whether you have a significant other.
