just read finish "of mice and men" by john steinbeck. ^^ initially i didnt understand what the plot of the story had to do with the title, but i think i sort of figured out a little bit; he's using the title to play with his characters, not really with the plot. or maybe i havent figured that part out yet. anyway, for example there's george, who is a mouse of a man in stature, but a good man in character. then there's his lowIQ travelling companion Lennie who is a big strapping guy, but as timid as a mouse. and then there's Curley who think's he's a macho man, when he's actually such a little rat in personality.
i like Slim, though. he sounds like a real intelligent dude.
"Guy don't need no sense to be a nice fella. Seems to me sometimes it jus' works the other way around. Take a real smart guy and he ain't hardly ever a nice fella." - Slim.
kinda sad George had to kill Lennie in the end :( didnt expect that ending.
im making as though i have a lot of time, when ive got physics and math hmwk to pia. but whatever. last day of freedom, however warped the idea of freedom may be. IM GOING TO TRY TO STAY AWAKE FOR ALL MY CLASSES TOMORROW. YEP. MY TERM THREE RULE.lets see how long it will reign.
oh, and another rule: I WILL NOT GET RETAINED.

learnt a lot about myself today doing street sales alone, most of them bad. but hey, everytime you learn something about yourself its a good thing right? ^^ really have to buck up for yfc; i always feel very bad when i can't sell as much as the others; it feels like im a leech :( no one likes to be the bottom-feeder.
okok. i got my stereotypes in order again (yeah, so im stereotyping now, what to do? i gave up trying to avoid that great pink elephant prancing aroung in a tutu in front of me. )
in general, i dislike cbd-area people. but tanjong pagar-area is better than raffles place. there were some really nice people, like the lady who bought 8 ms at one go (woohooo~) and the dude who told me to do my sales in the shade and drink lotsa water after he bought one ( i felt like telling him to eff off and shut up unless he wanted to buy my whole basket, but clearly i was delusional then :D thanks for your kind thoughts, mister!)
i dreamt yesterday night, that i was somewhere i could see a thousand stars.
