The reality is........

Spent almost an entire night IM-ing Adam who's, sadly, back to where he belongs. Joy. He managed to persuade me to join a small liberal arts college which my mom pseudo-persuaded me to do post education fair at Le Meridian yesterday. We (mom and I) spoke to all the small college officials at the fair offering cozy settings and generous scholarships, ie Christian colleges and the works. Apparently, once you finish two years at these colleges, you get to shift over to larger, distinguished ones easily. Sounds like a good plan, both, for coping with the stresses that may come with culture shock and stress generally. Will most likely be applying for the Wesleyan Freeman Scholarship once my SAT results come through. Although the likelihood of getting these are close to 2 in a million. The japanese admissions officer was very clear with the reality of it.

Speaking of which, yesterday I managed to work against the clock for the SAT mock test that I snagged off the net. I think I did pretty ok with the time limits. And at a certain point I got hooked to the euphoria that came with completing each section in time and with a fair amount of ease. Stayed up til almost 3 am but I didn't feel the time slip by at all. I might be pulling through after all!

Someone from Auckland uni got in touch with me regarding admissions and scholarship offers. Was kinda thrilled and might go ahead and apply despite placing US on top of my list. Then Jeremy called to ask me whether I wanted to do telemarketing for his mom with all of the 'free' time I had.

Leez is coming over at lunch time today. WHeeeeee! We're goin halloween shopping again for our very halloween-y installation. Will be forced to revive my creative side, the right side of my brain has always been significantly larger and more active but somehow, I don't get off easy when it comes to crafts. Papier Mache! Eyeballs galore. Oooh, the gore! Haven't spent this much time with Leez eversince primary school! And I get to see Ernie again. After that will be heading over to Lee Hua's place to complete the program booklet. Dinner's on her. And I'll admit it, Lee Hua serving dinner has gotta be the most delightful news ever.

But I shall refrain talking about rotaract anymore for now since I've been told that my first name should be exactly that. I'm SORRY that I adore it so much that I can't stop randomly slipping it into my everyday conversations. And I'm sorry that I have more important things in my life to worry about apart from blogging. But whatevre.... (sorry Sher, had to pinjam tht!)

When ur free though, click on the RCBS link for a free invite!

Maybe I'll stay up til 3 am again today to enjoy SAT euphorism!

His eyes were brown, hazel? chestnut? It was just the deepest brown ever... You could sink into it and just be trapped there forever, swimming against the current.. Were those really the best cheekbones? Definitely the best jaw outline! And that look, long, lingering, knee-buckling.... And then the light twitch of his lips let out the weirdest sound ever....

Sirens??? ...... *kapoof* And I was awake. Damn those ambulances!

I managed to get a fistful of friendster and NO, I am not convinced. In fact, I thought I could start anew with facebook or something with their pet radishes and tofus! (wth???) But seeing as to how exposed I might become to lethal web tyrany and sheer stupidity, validating the exhaustion of creative juices amidst the youth community - I have yet again settled into the 'cynical' category. What with Leez emphasizing the 'ma fan' ness of it all. Nope. Nope. Thank you for the invites and the whole camaraderie but I declare myself sober of 'friend network' sites. Seriously, how many of these people really provide you with a shoulder to cry on when you need it? All one million friends listed... or maybe that pet tofu i might add? (..what do tofus eat AnEEeeway??) Screwed up man!

tofus and radishes aside.......

I am now officially one of the most tensed up people on this planet. It's as if I'm walking with a flaming stick up my ass! (....yes, I did just say that). SATs is in less than 2 weeks time and so is the installation. And for weird but very banal reasons, I cannot see myself getting a pat on the shoulder for either. But that's just me predicting the worse and hoping for the best again.

Leez and I went trick or treating at One U, the Curve and Ikano on Monday. Spent nine hours out and got zero sponsors apart from that place which I don't wanna mention here in case I jinx it. A horrible shopkeeper with a mood-dousing attitude, glorious food, inevitable shopping (...on her part) and feet aches were on the menu. Very.... erm, character building.

So, erm, yea... gotta run and brush up on my comprehension skills.

Lil Miss Brooke's Student Council President Speech....

" I thought i knew you. But I guess it's easier... to see what we want, than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you don't; and that means you don't know what I can do. You see me as someone who's popular.... and has all the answers; thats not true. I may not always know what I'm doing... but I'll try make things better. And when I make a mistake... because, face it, we all do.... I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone. But if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise, if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said ' The courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumoh and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences.... in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures... and that is the basis of all morality' "

I feel like I've been forced into a leadership camp of late. But, no, this was my decision. I am solely accountable for it. And when there are hurdles, I get used to cursing myself. But when the coast is clear, the pride and sense of euphoria that follows is overwhelming. I think I'm beginning to enjoy it....

During the next two weeks, I have to

- Make sure that the 11th annual installation of RAC Bandar Sunway happens and does not backfire.... note: I have to do this without losing my mind which I highly doubt at the moment considering I almost went lunatic yesterday while driving (....or rather stalling) in the car with Ben and Leeza, trying to come up with a t shirt design........

- Find a suitable design for our t shirts, which no one seems to want to do. WHatever happened to the days when people craved to have their designs imprinted on t shirts??????

- Induct members into the club infront of a thousand rotarians

- present a kickass speech during the rotary meeting so that we stand a chance in getting sponsorship from the rotarians..... which means, coherent, fluent speech which I completely suck at....

- seeing over the recording of our video to be presented on that day

- making sure that Ben remembers to switch on/not ignore his cell phone so that we won't miss any important calls.

-SPonsorships

- Send Mabel off to KLIA and bid her goodbye til next summer......

-Attend DBMs and BBMs and IBBs

-Study for the SATs which I will be taking on the day of our installation. Tell me about it!!!!!!!

Did I mention I have to keep my sanity while doing all this??

If you ever see a lunatic with crazy hair on the street, mumbling profanities to herself, be kind to her, it just might be me...

tooDles!

Just when u begin to expect the worse, things turn out for the better. Does hope come when you stop believing? So why then, have we been told otherwise???

BEST rotaract meeting ever!

There wasn't much tension in the air. Everyone was relaxed and totally at ease. The atmosphere was great. Everyone contributed to the discussion. There was infinite joking and talking here and there. We actually kinda did get something done.

This is what it's supposed to be like. Finally! They're having fun. And Lee Hua and Shaun were there!! I loved it.

I wish it was gonna be that way forever.

I wish for so many things.

I've just updated the RCBS blog on the APRRC btw. It's lengthy and I'm too warped to do anything else so please, click on the link and let my hard work unravel before your very eyes.
