Murphy's Law

Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

I saw the ball approaching Jann En's outstretched fingers and stupidly decided to intercept the darn ball. So I stuck out my hand and my fingers got caught in a crossway between her hand and the ball and it kind of dieded.

Long story short, I iced my fingers, ate lunch with my left hand and am now typing this with eight fingers. My fingers have swelled to a considerable size, turned green and I basically can't move them. And the worse part is, Eng prelims start tomorrow?? How am I supposed to write two essays? Quickly nonetheless. Oh help. Of all days, I choose the day before prelims to injure my writing hand.

But all in all, I'm still grateful for today because:
1. Only two fingers got hurt- not the whole hand
2. It wasn't my thumb or forefinger so I mean it's not that bad
3. I learnt how to spin a pen with my left hand
4. I got extra time during my exams!

So life's still good. Ish.

Update: So I went to see the doctor and it's apparently pretty bad haha. Lots of blood vessels burst and I previously thought that I couldn't straighten my fingers due to the pain, but the doctor said that I may have tore some ligament in my proximal joint area that actually prevents me from straightening my fingers completely. ._.

To Approach or Not

Have you ever felt the urge to just walk up to someone and go "Hey, you're pretty cool. Wanna hang some time?" but you suppressed that urge because sadly, it is deemed 'weird' and 'awkward' and 'unacceptable' to do that? Just because well you have no...connections, or common topics or yeah.

It's so blatantly annoying that all of us (I included, unfortunately) seem to conform to this concept that we can't simply approach someone to ask for a friendship out of nowhere.

Hmmm.

Style or Comfort?

While trudging back to our rooms in our slippers, with our heels in hand after a tiring night, I proposed the question of "Would you sacrifice style for comfort?" to Nikki and Carissa. To which they both gave a adamant 'YES'. I, however, have to disagree.

Don't get me wrong, I love comfort wear and I'm all for baggy shirts and sweatpants. But I think when it comes down, to wearing heels or flats to a function, I'd go for the heels (cause y'know, legs) Comfort is great and all, but I feel that looking good comes with a certain price - and I'm willing to pay the price.

Are you?

I guess the whole thought of knowing I look my best overshadows the discomfort I feel?

Lack of updates

The reason I don't blog much, is because I honestly have no idea what to write about, haha. Like I start to write but I give up halfway because:
1) No inspiration
2) No writing skills

So, if you have any ideas, I'm open to them yo.

FDD'15

26/7/15

Founder's Day Dinner was an absolute blast! Notwithstanding the wardrobe malfunction of my heels breaking, I had a ton of fun. Food was great, although I missed a couple of courses, and everyone looked stunning!
