twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Paper two was horrible. Oh my god. I was really really.. stunned. I guess that's their way of doing it - set an easy paper1 and kill us on the paper2. Arseholes. Half the time I didn't know what I was doing and my answers looked wrong. Ok, I don't know that for sure but I really suck at stats. I thought I was improving but oh well. No regrets though. I tried my best.

Anyway, went for the funeral after the paper with the team and Mr Yong and Ms Lim. I've never been to a funeral before.. not that I hope for one, but well, I guess I was kinda.. for once I'm lost for words to describe that tense, palpable feeling that was in the atmosphere. The crematorium was worse actually. It looked all nice and like a condo but you get this SICK dread cos you know it's not a freaking condo, it's a place of grief. Even though it was like.. spick and span, kinda classy, it had this COLD aura that totally chilled me to the bone (or maybe it was the air conditioning). I suppose when you look at the place, the escalators and the service halls and stuff, you'll never think of it as a crematorium, but yet, despite it being utterly pristine, something was wrong about that place. Something that made my hair stand on an end. Something that I can't for the life of me place my finger on.

And then.. the heavens poured. Sympathetic background, I said to xintian. Well.. Huiying, I really really hope you stay strong k? The team.. everyone will be here for you. Sigh, I'm in a ruminative mood. Hopefully that's a good thing for GP tomorrow. It was.. I guess scary in a way - today's experience. I lost it at the Viewing Hall.. I just started tearing and next to me, Mich and Shumin were sorta sniffling too. I don't know about the rest though, but it was sad. Or maybe, I'm sentimental like that...
