let lemons be angry

It never occurred to me that my life is the same no matter who knows about it. It's the same quaint bundle of buses and casuarina trees and useless little fun projects that will get me my grades. A day starts early, with little tweaks to stop me walking out the door looking like a Korean drama female lead (read: dying), and hanging around in case i can catch a lift to school. If not, it's the two buses that take me deep into a campus i haven't really explored yet. Orange juice for all the sleepy moments, my bazooka roll to protect me.

Yesterday we made body armours, and i transformed the Sweet Schoolteacherly Japanese barbiedoll from my childhood into a very un-sweet futuristic cop. The best part was cutting her long flaxen what-dreams-are-made-of hair into a long mohawk. The studio looked like a project runway session, with most people happily making entire characters instead of body armour components. I even brought my lunch back up so Project Armour wouldn't be disrupted. If Product Design decided to bring in a fashion module, it'd be bye bye graphic design and kc yeoh, farewell to even film. There's only one thing i would skip lunch for. And tonight: the motorola fashion show, and the future: moths will be going places. I should just quit school right now and plunge into it.

But if i quit school, i wouldn't have as much fun. Last night we lugged our steamboats and hotpots to zihan and joyce's hall for an after-class dinner. Yummy yummy buttery beef and chicken and big laughs about every silly thing. In particular, our alter-egos for 2d class:

Prof KC: what's your alter-ego?
ming: i feel like i'm going to die soon.
Prof KC: but that's just a feeling!
ming: but there are many signs, like my lifeline.. (shows palm)
Prof KC: but that's just a symptom! who are you? *totally missing the seriousness of dear ming

Prof kc: and who are you?
lena: I'm a man!
Prof kc: But what kind of man?
lena: a.. strong man!

And how can i not mention that wenchuan's alterego is..a bra.. and that gangstress joyce is venus... I'm the vain, paranoid and paradoxical queen of the communist world. This assignment is going way off from what kc had planned, and all the more fun for us, who haven't had fun in his class before.
