Thursday is Independence Day

It's Independence Day for me today.
Every Thursday, I'm liberated from the clutches of the Evil Digits. (i.e. Course Codes)
So while they have not come up with sly ways to torture me on this sacred day (read: homework,projects,shit-like-that), I will make use of this time to relax.
Ahh, ever true to my Bum nature. :)

I watched cheerleading competitions yesterday! Hall 7's was pure genius. They deserved to win both Best Mascot and overall winners. The whole 'Circus' concept proved that there are people who dare to be different.

Those insanely skinny (and fearless / or extremely trusting) girls were tossed up high in the air as if they were volleyballs being served. And they still had smiles plastered on their faces. They are nuts, not because they're OK with being thrown up that high, but because they're falling from a great height with no form of harness and just 3 guys waiting to catch them with open arms. Talk about trust. I have no qualms about height but I'd rather trust the bungee jumping rope or that huge safety net thing. Hahaha. Yes, I know, I have sooo much faith in humans. Then again, those guys looked pretty strong and capable, and the girls were all so small next to them, so to the guys it must have been like tossing a huge stuff toy up. They made it look so easy. I think guys in Cheerleaders are the only guys who can convincingly sing to their girlfriends, songs with the line " I'll catch you when you fall".

EILEEN! You looked so different! We almost didn't recognize you! You make a pretty good cheerleader!
GRACE and CANPHYLIA! Good Job. I still think you guys are nuts (insanely brave) to be lifted and stuff. Haha. And you guys looked hot in those uniforms!

Reasons I'll never be a Cheerleader:
1. As I mentioned in the above paragraph, I don't trust to be caught when I fall unless the guy is Superman or Edward Cullen. =)
2. I'm OK with heights and balancing from high grounds. However standing on people's shoulders while they hold on to my ankle is an entirely different story. I'm incomprehensibly ticklish. That's why I don't go for pedicures as well.
3. Those teensy-weensy uniforms will reveal my unglorious fats.
4. It's weird having people look up *there* constantly.
5. Cheering. No. No. No.

I like the whole idea of dancing, formations, and acrobatic stunts though. Must be so cool to be able to do all those somersaults!

Then I went to have supper with Hanisah. The queue at McD was ridiculous at 11+. They've brought back TWISTER FRIES! I'm so happy. I saw 2 girls from S01, and I recognised only one. And to think they've been standing next to me every single morning for 2 years. I felt bad that I couldn't remember them but what the heck. Then we walked back to our halls at 12. I love NTU at night. So peaceful. And that little hill up NIE to Hall 16 smells of flowers at midnight. =) So I strolled back to hall slowly and just enjoyed the quiet time.

OK! I will do all my homework today and tomorrow so that my weekend will be free!
My mom is coming back from Dubai!
OK, I can't stand it. I"M GOING HOME TODAY.
=)=)=)
I already miss my Mom and my Dad. I think my Dad called me this morning. I was half asleep when I picked up. So I'm not sure if that was a dream.

I shall go grab my notes from the different libraries, photocopy stuff, buy books, borrow books and GO BACK HOME!
