Of Pimples. Lots and Lots of Pimples

People are getting stressed up. What with university applications to be sent out, it is no wonder this is happening. And people deal with stress in marvellous ways:

Some grow fatter. Some grow thinner. Some just break out in pimples. Lots of pimples.

Some become extremely noisy. Some just fall silent.

Some start laughing hysterically. Some begin crying hysterically. Some do both.

The ever-frequent 'Die MAN!'

The even more frequent flicker of stress seen on their faces, often followed by a cover-up, usually by making crappy jokes.

Me? Well, I do admit that I am feeling kinda stressed out lately. All the work that needs to be done and completed by next week is not helping. And filling out UCAS forms is nothing short of a nerve-racking experience, trying to make sure every single letter and digit written is legible and legitimate. One mistake will cause a lot of extra stress and more pimples.

Sigh. Well, I did try to make up for it by going wall-climbing at Summit with a couple of friends. It was kinda fun, except that now my arms are sore and my feet are aching, horribly. And it isn't as easy as it looks. You need a lot of strength and flexibility, one which I lack, and particularly reinforced by a friend at a barbeque afterwards. Yeap, went to a BBQ with old school-mates. Had a great time there, just mingling and talking and teasing and playing Magic: The Gathering and watching Malaysian Idol and lots and lots of eating. Really miss the company. A lot.

Back to reality. Need to fill up all my forms. Crap. And I only have 4 more days.

Die MAN!

stress = sudden impluse to eat = fat = pimples = mother worrying = buying new facial product = outburst in college = hitting everybody = roaring laughter = scolding lecturers who prudently manipulate and confuse the circuits in brain = perpetual insanity...

Haha Bondi..

Conclusion is:
Stress = Perpetual Insanity

Fat = Hitting Everybody

Pimples = Outburst in College (literally)

Mother Worrying = Hitting Everybody

Seems to me, a lot of people are getting hit around college. =)
