Isolated

Felt isolated and a bit lost earlier in the day. First of all, my hp's battery went flat on me when I was smsing a friend (then again, it's like quite a lot of smses throughout the day as well) while browsing around at Sembawang Music at cineleisure. Then I tried to go online using my laptop, and discovered that it's battery, too, is flat. Shucks. Totally isolated from the people I know. Not the first time this happened to me recently, as my hp's battery went out on me a couple of weeks back as well. Been a long day, as I crashed Huishan's morning soci lesson, and then went for my own in the afternoon as there was a test. Which I discovered it's actually managable, though I forgot some stuff. Didn't really study much; just went through briefly the study guide in the wee hours of the morning while trying to get rid of a virus in my laptop (long story). Walked through the bazaar with Huishan and her friend after the morning class and got myself some yogurt with fruits and cookies mashed in. Nothing much in this year's bazaar. Saw some cute stuff, but no reason to buy. Couldn't find anything small and cuddly and cheap, like what I managed to for the last couple of years (which were subsequently kidnapped by Jasmine and Karen if I remember correctly, and held to "ransom"). Did see one huge penguin that resembles the one from Happy Feet, and that cost like 50 bucks. Hmm. Speaking of Happy Feet, almost wanted to catch that, until Stella and Huishan convinced me not to, as it's not really worth it. So decided to go catch Open Season instead.

Which brought me to Somerset mrt while Lady Rain decided to cry her heart out. Sigh. So I had to run to cineleisure from there. Thank God my laptop and the stuff were dry. But I looked like a drowned rat when I got inside the building. Water was literally trickling off my hair. And I missed the 5.15pm slot for Open Season as well. So decided to walk around and let the aircon in the building dry me. Then came the flat batteries. Oh well, thank God at least my mp3 player was still running. Open Season's not bad, though I don't really like the animation style. But it's funny, something I need as I felt a bit stressed. Though the humour is more towards the end of the movie. Think it's just about worth the price of a weekday ticket. Definitely not for a weekend movie. Ok, this one's down. Eragon, Flags of our Fathers, The Nativity Story, Deck The Halls, to go. Maybe Last Kiss as well. Was deciding between this and Open Season earlier. Shucks. In any case, I'm pretty much broke. Should stop spending on movies, and saving up for my grad trip. Movies seem to be my ticket out of boredom these days. Especially on tuesdays, after Sunny's class. Just hope I can pass soci this time around and not commit the academic version of suicide. It's late now (2.19am), guess I'll turn in soon. Didn't really get much sleep last night as I was trying to resolve the virus issue (grand total of 3.5 hours of sleep, excluding the cat naps throughout the day). Hence, I was close to surrendering to my body's cry for rest, but yet my mind was very awake (effects of Red Bull from bazaar). And felt my heart cry out as well, don't know why, guess it's the combination of the above. But thank God for His grace, that I'm still living and breathing now. Read this somewhere before. That God's gift to us is life. And our gift to Him is what we do with this life. Have to use my life as a testimony to His love and mercy and grace. And I pray that He will enable me through the days to do so. Amen.
