Gone Bunburying
Monday, January 07, 2008
If you asked me where I've been the last three weeks, I would have to say I've gone
Bunburying.
For the clueness ones, please either summon Wilde from the dead and ask him, or simply wiki the term, although the former seems a bit on the difficult side.
Anyway, what was I saying before I got rudely interrupted? Ah yes,
Bunburying.
I assume you know its meaning by now, otherwise this is another warning: wiki it now
now.
Right. Of course, thanks to my procrastinating skills (no doubt another excellent trait engineered and perfected by rote learning at NUS),
Bunburying is the best term to describe my repulsion from updating this blog.
Woe to my loyal readers, I hope you find this post fodder for thought.
Now let's see...
Bunburying has been highly exciting yet tiring, even though the reason for the latter beats me since I hardly had to use my brains very much, probably the physical energy spending have been taking a toll on my body.
Bunburying included fireworks on New Year's eve (yes including jostling with the crowd at midnight and part thereof), one cheenapop concert (my first! haha! Not to worry, my fans, I'm still me and have
not transformed into a full-fledged
ah lian), one local musical called
Beauty World (oh the pain! I swear it's the worst musical I've ever been to in my entire life! And I've watched like so many already!),
several escapades to dodgy (not all of them were of course!) Japanese restaurants (all in the name of searching for the most authentic Japanese cuisine of course! Please consult me should you need any advice in this field and I will be most happy to oblige), a few trips to chinatown (which is more than I've ever been in my entire life!), the giving of many many presents mostly for christmas (if you didn't already know, my secret ambition was to be Santa Claus. Nah, I'm only joking, I don't really enjoy being fat with a red face and white hair, moustache and beard. I just like giving out presents heh), and finally, this must be the best part:
zero work done during the entire of the school holidays (well owing to the fact that they don't pay me at all during this duration, I didn't see any incentive to do any work.)
Of course, I couldn't have done them all without
you.
I must say I haven't enjoyed myself so thoroughly and so truely for a long long time, and it will be memorable, even though I've been so busy enjoying that I couldn't manage to record them anywhere, even on film. Ah, you know me, I can't multi-task if I were to immerse myself fully in a single experience at any one time. Trying to do both will probably tantamount to like two-timing or something, and you know I can't do that.
So what happens after I'm back from
Bunburying?
Well, obviously, there's work, work and more work. (Don't I just feel like a Primary school kid all over again? Yeah well, I still don't feel like I've graduated. Sometimes I go into these time lapses sort of thing and get temporary identity crises. You kids know what I mean right?)
Then there's the one-year-long mugging for Japanese.
Alright alright, I haven't gone into full speed yet.
Well, at least I'm trying to. I've bought the books at the last Kinokuniya sale!
Does... that count?
Work has been piling up these few days. I'm currently a part-time librarian cataloguing books which were thrown out but were saved by my colleagues (yeah, I know, our relationship with books is complicated), part-time student who needs to churn out essay plans, part-time typist to convert several essays in hard copies to soft copies, and part-time organiser to categorise past year papers into tables for easy reference (er, obviously not for me!)
Hmm where's the
real work? Well it's coming, in a matter of one week's time.
Ah, I miss
Bunburying...
