well, last day of the year.. Was reading Stomp's starblog and this week's entry is about the most memorable moments of 2007. What better way to end the year by reminicising some of the best/worst moments rite? (now who said memorable has to be good?)

So here we go, my 10 Most Memorable Events in 2007: (In no particular order, but of cos some will be more significant than the others.. hee.)

#1 GSS France/London
The last time I made my way out of Singapore further than Malaysia was in Sec 1 or Sec 2 when I went to Bangkok during CNY. Which was way back. Haha.. So this trip is actually very significant to me, my first ever to Europe, without my family and going with friends.. Of cos, during this trip there are many 'memorable moments', but rather than letting them take up my whole list.. Let's save it for other memories.. haha.

Ok, the ones most clearest in my mind are.. Our lessons and lunches in sch, Paris trip. Perhaps London will be most remembered, for the journey there was hard and long. But no matter wad.. I will always rem the English man who had helped me when I was the most helpless. Standing at the top of the bridge with my 20kg luggage and a flight of stairs ahead of me. I was damn afraid I would roll down the stairs. Just when I made the first few steps.. This hand from behind just took my luggage and a man made his way down in the blink of an eye. He walked away right after putting my luggage down at the bottom of the stairs, never even turning his head back. And I had to shout my thanks to him very loudly.. This act of kindness warmed my heart thoroughly after the rough journey. For that, thank you.. whoever you are (:

#2: Cousin's Wedding at Rasa Sentosa
The first wedding ever for a long time. Not many 'unmarried' cousins left other than me and my bro. Haha.. Always loved weddings for the happiness and joy that surround everyone present. Most of all.. its a chance to see all my relatives (maternal side, that is) besides the CNY. And dressed so differently! Of cos.. its my first time at a 5 star hotel.. =P

#3: Breakfast at Yacht Club
This was before me and Eugene started our r/s, but even before we did it was alrdy memorable. Haha.. nono, its not becos we are tog then now it is memorable. Its just that besides Soonhui, Sompong, Heow Hui, Thong Ler etc he is the only guy outside our NH clique that I can maintain a good platonic friendship with. And its quite amazing that most of our friendship before this has been sustained only from MSN, the phonecalls in sec sch ONLY and yet he can understand me easily like them. Yep, so the first 'gathering' (a bit weird to call it this since its usually used for a grp of pp isn't it, haha) was breakfast at Yacht Club. Needless to say, everything was good.. the weather, the food and everything and it paved the way..

#4: 19 April
Paved the way for the start of our r/s. I still rem clearly that day I was at JP meeting my uni frens to go sch tog and we were having one of our usual sms chats. So when he popped the qn I was like on the escalator and the first pp that knew were my uni friends cos they saw my wide smile and everything.. haha. I'm sure we'll have many more memorable moments to come in the coming year other than this.. Many memories are alrdy etched in me in the short 8-9 months so far. Thks for everyting dear dear..

#5: Primary school gathering at Pizza Hut/JP
this is memorable although there was another gathering earlier in the year becos I managed to meet Weili and Vicky properly for the first time since we grad.. Had a gd time catching up and chatting.. I'm very glad I still keep in touch with some of my pri sch mates cos I know some pp alrdy like lost contact with theirs long ago. So I really treasure whatever we have now.

#6: Dragonboat Freak Accident in Cambodia
Other than the fact that Wei Cheng had been a fellow saint, this incident had a huge impact on many Singaporeans becos 5 talented and passionate dragonboat rowers were lost so suddenly. It made me, and alot Singaporeans, learnt a lesson the hard way. Live your life to the fullest; live it your own way and treasure what and who you love most. Even till now I still visit the blogs dedicated to the 5 warriors occasionally to read thru the msgs. One day, I will no longer tear when reading them and will smile at the beautiful memories they left behind for the people who knew them.

Its really touching to see their friends drop by the blog frequently, to drop msgs to wish them Merry Xmas, update abt their own lives etc as if to chat and accompany them. Let's learn our lesson from now on shall we..

#7: Release of Results
Ok la, I know some people cannot understand why it is memorable (or maybe find that I am showing off) becos you all have been getting straight As all along until you numb to the feeling alrdy.. haha. But average students like me, who have been getting only a string of Bs ever since I gone uni.. This is very significant to me. Of cos, it'll serve as a motivation for me to work hard to maintain the results for the coming semesters (well, not much.. 3 more!). Yay shuhui.. you can do it!

#8: Wearing contact lenses
Indeed.. the initial hassle of wearing contact lens, the 'freedom' of no glasses.. From a love-hate relationship, I have alrdy grown to adjust and come to rely on it.. haha. Shall continue to take care of my eyes and contact lens in the coming 2008!

#9: Harry Potter's final book!
Yeah.. getting the final book. Sth that made me anticipated, and yet when I read it I cant bear for it to end and wanted to ask for more. I'm sure this is the same for many Potter fans like me out there! haha. This book is really good, although there were sad parts like the battle in Hogwarts which took the lives of many people.. I guess the good ending make up for it. Now.. is to look forward to the movie then.. (:

#10: Fireworks@ Vivo, 30th Nov
Now I rem the date even cos it was the last day of exam. And it being so memorable cos I didn't even plan to watch it, didn't even noe the first place.. haha. Last day of exams and went to Vivo for movie and lunch with Joyce, Lionel and Amy.. And was supposed to follow with meeting Eugene for dinner. Only when we were there then did we know, that Vivo City was celebrating its first year anniversary with a small concert and fireworks display the very same day at 9pm.

Sometimes, the most memorable event need not be purposefully planned. I guess this is life, cliche as it is, but really.. life is full of surprises and we do not noe know what will happen in the next second, minute, hour, even year.. This was what I felt when watching the fireworks right in front of me and Eug that nite. Fireworks - beautiful and short.

2007 will be gone in a few hours time.. hope that whatever 2007 had brought you guys this year, 2008 will be even better for all of u. You never know, you might find yourself a new girlfriend/boyfriend.. New friends of course.. but let's hope they'll be those good ones worth maintaining a friendship with. For the guys.. hope your new life, the next phase, which is uni will be a smooth transition for you.

Happy New Year everyone!

still not back yet. hai.

like always, I let myself worry about results of exams only the first few days after the last paper.. =P and so, last nite, though I had wanted to chk the results this morning.. I had found myself kp trying to login into Studentlink. To no avail.. Somehow cant get in, error and stuff. Well, the usual thing during this period.. The sch's site will go cranky.

so er.. not being like arrogant or fake or wad la.. but I really did a double take and double-checked my results when I saw it. Whoopee.. first thought was to send eug a sms after I settled down. Yeah.. Eugene's still in Msia *sniff sniff* of cos I miss him! But I'm glad he's got this holiday cum family visit cos I noe he's been longing to get out of S'pore.. haha. Well, he'll be back this Sun or coming Mon! (:

since Eug's not around and all the gathering and shopping trips has died down.. I decided to spend some quiet time catching up on my reading. Which is why, for the past few days since he's gone, I've made trips to e library after work to pick up some books. And I got some new bks I have been wanting to read. So.. I'll be devouring them the next few days.. hahaha. Youdian kept shaking his head whenever he see me read my book during free time.. =P asked me to go for real action and watch National Treasure and not the action in the books.. ha.

was telling eugene about this duck rice stall which me and my family discovered lately. Surprisingly its been right under our noses at the coffee shop opposite the Boon Lay Market, the newer food court at boon lay shopping center ya. Wa.. the duck rice is really good lo, one of the best I've had so far.

This is the picture I've managed to take b4 I almost finished half the rice. haha.. I told Eugene I'll take a pic for him to see cos I've been telling him abt how gd it is. But the moment the rice came I tucked in and almost forgotten I was supposed to take a pic! lucky all the ingredients are still there yet... =P The rice is very fragrant, I think its not yam rice.. but well, they did sth to it. Full of flavour. This is a set, with salted vegetables ( I don't usually eat them outside, but this is very appetizing when u eat with the rice) tau kua and half an egg. Yummy yummy! Not to mention the sambal chilli.. Everything for just $3.. haha. good deal eh? pls go try next time u all happen to pass by..

today work officially ends at 3pm, its a 'half-day' though it seemed more like a 3/4 one. but actually 12-2pm is our lunch la. The buffet is a bit disappointing in terms of proportion though. haha. just nice for everyone. And its after some colleagues chipped in and brought in food from their homes lo. Our VP was quite nice, bringing beautiful fruit tarts made by his wife. There was another guy whom was very friendly and we nv seen b4. A bit short but he was all smiles to everyone and chatted freely. Later Eric realised he seemed familiar.. and recognised his face from the company's notebook.. Our CEO. heh. Our top mgmt are all very friendly guys lo.. haha, interesting. No airs and very approachable. And our VP later even asked for our names again cos he said he forgotten to take it from us last time. He also asked for our surnames.. so weird. haha..

anyway.. here's a very very valuable photo of us 3. The guy on e left is Youdian, and the right is my classmate from NTU - Eric. Cameras are banned in the premises as u see.. so this was taken from an authorised camera and sent to us by our sup. So ma fan hor.. =P

After wk.. met Eugene. Our last date b4 he leaves for Msia on Wed. Supposed to have our fave xiao long bao, but Crystal Jade was damn full and the counter crew had such bad service. Suan le.. even then we still had to wait for abt 40 mins for our table at Pizza Hut. Oh well.. at least we had a decent dinner (: Watched I am Legend. Quite unexpected ending.. but the movie was not bad. Shall not post any spoilers, so those who like suspense/thriller movie can go give it a try!

after coordinating for so long, we finally went to Cafe Cartel at PS for a dinner tog with the GSS peeps. haha, quite happy at the turnout.. 8! had a lot of fun catching up and chatting, laughing.. just like the days in France :D

had actually updated one entry de, but somehow got error, was too lazy to retype. =P

I was saying.. my Body Shop eye cream seemed to have worked. I wonder if it is really due to the cream. Or is it cos, due to wk, I've been slping b4 12am every nite. I would like to think its the cream, haha!

anyway.. this wk continues to be filled with gatherings and dinners. Ha. Next wk onwards will be more peaceful I think.. Not so much gatherings liao. hehe, easier on my pocket too =P

received my first xmas present today. well, I guess its sort of. Janey gave me a notebook today. ha. well.. still deciding whether shld buy some of 'em presents.. oh well.. PR comes with a price

had a super busy but eventful week.

Mon: Movie with Eug (Golden Compass!)
Wed: Dinner w Pris + Minshan (Swenson's)
Thurs: Dinner w Eugene
Fri: Pri sch gathering at JP/Pizza Hut
Sat: HRC meeting in town, shopping with Joyce (Thai Express)

Well.. from this u can see I ate out EVERYDAY except for tues. And can deduce that my pocket's got a big gaping hole. But I'm very happy that I got to see so many 'long-lost' friends all tog in this week. Pris who disappeared la.. And my pri sch frens, Weili - haven seen her in years!

That's why I'm sort of craving for some quiet time by myself at home, with a homecooked dinner. And repeatedly turned down Joyce's invitation to Settlers' Cafe with her.. ha. I owe you one la gal, I am actually a homey person too.. I'll miss home de.. haha.

So from all these meals, I am feeling fat again.. Those yummy but sinful meals.. The fats are added to all the wrong places.. Argh. And I am too lazy.. Or when I am feeling upbeat abt a new exercise regime.. sth pops up. Like my internship.. no swimming on weekdays.. Boo.

went joyce's blog and saw some photos we took tog in Marche the day we finished our exams. haha. every time see photos of myself, I will have this 'sudden realization' that my hair so long meh?! then it'll also remind me of how time flies.. Cos only after I grad from SA then started to kp my hair long.. And its been like almost 2 yrs.. whew! yo joyce, hope ur intern is better for u now.. (: see ya this sat at our HRC meeting.. maybe we go shopping aft that like last time ya.. haha!

here's some of the websites I said I will be recommending after I go browse thru' them..

1. http://www.waiterrant.net/
This is the blog of a waiter in USA. He relates what he sees in the restaurant to some of his thoughts about those issues. Quite meaningful reads.. And his blog receive a lot of hits daily. (: something which we don't usually come across..

2. http://www.weikiat.net/slops
This website recommends shopping blogs (called slops), so if you're interested in online shopping, or just wanna update urself on some fashion trends.. can go visit the slops recommended..

enjoy!

so far, my internship has been turning out great! ytd the office was very much livelier due to the TGIF mood. Me & Eric also started being chummy with the other guy who's a temp and my age. Poly grad awaiting enlistment into NS, and he's been outwardly showing his detestment abt it. LOL.

anyway, Eug & me went to our usual hangout - Vivo. With a purpose this time though, to check out the products in body shop. Cos my classmate is able to get a whopping staff discount of 50%! I'm gg to shop till I drop (which also means shop till my account balance takes a big fat drop) & buy some skincare products. Yippee..

Gonna hit the PS outlet later. Hope everything I want is in stock then! (:

either cos its already my 4th day at work, or its cos I'm lucky today that there wasn't much work for me to do. so its not as busy.. My asst. manager (the person I'm reporting to) seems to be always too busy to give me some work to do. Lucky me that I'm sitting beside a young & friendly lady who is closest to us in terms of age. Both the guys already noted that there is a significant age gap in the rest of the peeps there as compared to us, and attributed the lack of conversation topics to this reason as well. lolx.

anyway, Janey was very kind to lend me some of her magazines to read cos my id doesn't have Internet access and my a.mgr STILL hasn't give me any work. She had gotten those HRM magazines from a Jobcentral Fair, and also some Careers Central magazine. The latter is seemingly familiar cos I think our sch gives out some free copies at the General Office. I never thought much of them till today. And no, its not cos I was bored to tears and too glad to have some entertainment. Those mags are very informative. HRM mags are abt some HR trends which are very relevant to what I'm studying and its a bit regretted that I didn't get to read them b4 the exams.

The Careers Central mags are very useful to us undergrads. They have alot of advice on issues regarding job seeking, interview skills, etc etc. And I saw this article on cover letter & resume writing which I went to photocopy. A gd reminder when the time comes for me to worry over them. But what caught my eye was an advertisement abt the STB Management Trainee Scheme. Its like a DREAM COME TRUE. haha. Its a 12-mths program for fresh grads. And they open it to grads with any type of degree but at least a 2nd upper class honours. Right now this seems a bit daunting.. but the article really gave me some hope la.. The program seems very enriching. And some even get to travel during the 12-mths period. Sth worth working towards to!

Oh ya, I also copied down some interesting webbies recommended by the mag. I'll check them out and recommend them to u guys if they gd (:

Friday's coming, woo!

had been very busy since this mon cos its the start of my holiday intern. well.. I cant bring in my camera phone, so these few days brought some inconveniences (& not to mention the occasional boredom) cos there's no phone with me. the security part is a bit of a hassle, but totally understandable.

And its actually a gd experience la. Learn alot excel stuff since the start till now. And I happen to be doing the internship with one of my classmates from my comms class! Eric.. quite glad got him ard for company. But the pp in the office, so far quite nice to wk with (:

These few nites I've been slping very early, max 11.. cos I gotta wake up early in the morning. Walk to wk! haha.. oh well. I dunno wad to blog le.. Tired. Wet & cold days like this makes me wanna drink coffee..

my last paper was finally over ytd. woohoo!

Went down to vivo with lionel & joyce to meet amy. We were so starved after the paper, lol. The train journey seemed so long & we kept thinking abt wad to eat. anyway, we settled for Marche. Long time since i went there. It was at the suntec one, so you can gauge how friggin' long it is (since its alrdy closed down. ha). We watched Beowulf. Hmm.. it was ok.. all animated, and I was a bit surprised cos i tot only Angelina Jolie was animated.

After that, caught dinner with Eugene at the Delifrance in Harbourfront. Guess what we had there? haha... Pizza! Well, we actually wanted to go there for the steaks, which we had there last time and it was pretty good. Comes in a set & the price was reasonable. Apparently its an offer, so its not on the menu anymore.. Thus, pizza as we both weren't really hungry. Hmm.. its not bad. We had the Tropicana pizza, which was sth like Hawaiian pizza, but its turkey ham instead. And its verrryy... cheesy! Yummy..

Oh, not to mention the fireworks display! I guess life has a lot of surprises here n there.. we went there wanting to spend a gd time after our last paper, and it happens that its their 1st anniversary. So they'll be having this 6-min fireworks display at nite. Eug & me caught it in quite a gd view, right in front of it, out on the deck. There were so many people there.. even the peeps in the restaurant came out to watch after hearing the bangs from the display.

short but pretty! gd end to a day like this.

I wish I can say I'll be happily slacking my 5 weeks away, but its not my zhuo feng. haha. I cannot stay idle so long, I will get bored to death.. Joyce & I had tried our shot at getting an internship this 5 wks and we each got one. Mine is at ST Kinetics which is like a stone's throw away from my hse. haha.. I'll definitely be walking home aft work!

So, this weekend will be spent slacking. Packing my messy room. And I dunno.. get a book? watch some drama online? :P

we all know, life is fragile. But I guess we never thought reality'll struck so close. We're so young, so are our friends. This few days its hard not to read or listen to the news without tearing up (i admit, and crying :P). Cos its not hard to imagine if it had happened to someone closer to you... The agony of the loss.. All 5 were so young & promising. And they will be dearly missed by their families & friends.

Been reading thru msgs left on blogs dedicated to two of the victims, and among them are many msgs with content similar to 'I wish I had known you better.'

How many times have such thoughts crossed our minds b4? I guess sometimes we learn the hard way, to appreciate everyone around you. Tragedy strucks and it jolts us back to reality - life is fragile.

Condolences to the family & friends of our 5 national rowers... You must be proud to have crossed paths with these good, young men. Let's hope they find peace in the skies above, rest well...

Rest in Peace

Chee Wei Cheng

Jeremy Goh

Stephen Loh

Poh Boon San

Reuben Kee En Rui

may our rowers rest in peace

I hate it when I have too many days between the papers.. 5 days is the max I can take. but 9?! no way! especially when people have alrdy finished their papers during this period of 9 days.. argh. my 'productivity' is seriously declining. Cut by half ytd. ha. only did 2 chapters..

oh well.. I can only do my best today and the next few days to come! I've been cooped up at home the whole weekend.. alternating between book & tv. (and occasionally my hula hoop, yeah.. my new past time) finally going out for lunch w eugene later!

our Fastcat project got us an A.. quite relieved abt that, cos it takes up a whooping 40%.. with the individual component factored in, I'm sure joyce & me will get the grade pulled up again since we both contributed so much for that.. hopefully it'll help! 223 papers seems tough.. from the look of the past year exams..

oh yeah, I've been stomping lately.. its quite addictive u know.. and some topics there are interesting.. haha. maybe u guys can go take a look when u're bored or sth.. cheers!

I'm addicted to STOMP. Too addicted!

ytd's paper.. was honestly not hard, was more of the time management & planning. Tho a qn or two shocked me.. ha. Oh well, like wad kor say "if want to worry abt it, worry after the last paper." ha! How 'optimistic' is that? lol.

anyway, Eugene's clearing his leave, so we have plenty of time tog nowadays. After buffet on Mon, we planned for a movie ytd. Well, Hero was supposed to have sneak preview ytd but none of the cinema had timings for that. Only for 22nd, which is today. bah! One of the cinema website even put heroes under "Now Showing" but when u click the schedule it shows timing for 22nd, and not 21st. Well, well.. I guess there's a new meaning to 'now' is it..

So, we watched the next show on our 'to-watch' list. Enchanted! haha.. quote from eugene: its a happy movie. Seriously.. the ending, and the characters.. Giselle (the princess from the fairytale land) is very bubbly and the things she says & does are so funny sometimes.. And how she sings kept getting onto Robert's (the lawyer in real-life New York) nerves at first. I shall not post spoilers here, but pls go and watch if you're looking for some laughter and a nice plot! And there's a bit of singing here and there, tho of cos not as much as Hairspray or High School Musical.

Had a good time, walked out of the theater feeling slightly 'enchanted' and motivated.. haha.. will there be a happily ever after?

next up on our list is.. Hero, Golden Compass.. :D

ytd was our 7th month tog :D so fast! haha.. so we met for some buffet lunch at Nihon Mura.. Eh. I dunno if i spelt that wrongly.. but its the buffet at the new Sports & Recreation Center. hehe.. die le, its my 2nd time eating in less than a month =P but really enjoyed it.. hehe

anyway.. me & Eug embarking on Project Shed the Fats.. haha.. gotta exercise to lose those fats! Tml's my paper.. but I'm going out again.. for this interview at the agency lo, a bit sian.. all the way in Ngee Ann City.. Just for '5-10 mins to know what you would like on the job'.. =_= I hate interviews!

Oh.. After tml's paper we're gonna watch Hero! The jap movie.. haha.. I know, I know, exams not over yet, don worry.. I'll rem!

cleared 2 papers ytd.. but din feel good abt it. I guess its those feelings that you have once u finished a paper, if u feel confident it means you had either successfully 'spotted' some qns or u studied real hard for it and could ans everything..

of cos I did study, but didn't do my best ): careless mistakes in the MCQ here n there.. for the efforts we put in, we are often aiming for sth with an A ( be it A-, A or A+, it'll all push up ur GPA).. just got this feeling... cannot make it... hai. Just hope for the best... still got 2 more core papers to study for...

anyway, today I gave myself some time off and slacked. Found sth I'd really like to pick up again this hols. Making earrings! Last time tried to do but gave up halfway due to some reasons.. But while searching online, I saw some beautiful pieces created by some people.. Can't help but save the pics, haha.. Can refer to them while buying materials next time, make sth similar.. so pretty!

this is it... tml's the start of my exams! Still juggling between my forensic science & psychology... hai. I seriously know this gonna affect my grades in one way or another - cos there's so much to internalise for TWO papers...

tml my paper's at 1pm. And everything will end up 7pm... although there's like a 1.5 hr break in between... bt its not enuff! din had a good slp last nite... and got waken up by the heavy rain like 5+. haha... my dream was a jumble of nonsensical stuff, lol. And some sort of a nightmare.

the worse thing is, to keep myself going.. I kp eating lil' snacks here and there. Argh... fattening!

Been studying psychology the whole weekend on top of clearing the last bits of my project. Initially was quite glad I cleared writing up my notes for all the chapters after mid-term... (which are more impt cos it'll be 90% of the stuff tested in the final exams) BUT... (yes yes, the always-dreaded word...) after doing some exercises... crossword puzzles... I realised I forgotten the stuff in front... ARGH! the more I do, the more I flip the textbook, the more I FREAK OUT!

(now according to Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Approach... this is because I have classified the impending exam as A THREAT & I estimated that I don't have enuff TIME to study everything... => Now do you get how stressed is this? )

Argh... I hate this... Psychology is actually the easiest to study so far, in terms of how easy it is to read each chapter and identify with the concepts and theories mentioned... Totally enjoyed it. But when it becomes an exam and you need to compress everything in time to sit for the paper... Its a totally different thing...

Okok, now I'm trying to de-stress... Cos I know I can't study properly being so tensed anyway. Now listening to soundtracks from High School Musical cos they're so infectious with the dances and the catchy tunes... Woo! Turning it up max to destress... So on a lighter note, what I learnt after revising Stress & Health today...

'Stoning' is actually good for your health!
It is actually a form of meditation... yes, you read it right, meditation! I was equally surprised haha... there is actually a form of meditation that involves a person concentrating on an unchanging stimulus to relax & calm down. Just 20 mins of 'stoning' or staring into blank space can lower blood pressure & calm you down... hahaha!

just came back from what we call a 'quality' breakfast date with eug at west coast park. The beach's opened up! but can no longer walk along the sandy areas, its now like those reservoirs with tracks to cycle, walk along... ha. A good break away from books & our last project (thank god, this one is much easier to handle)... Big breakfast (yummy!) and a walk by the beach... haha, thks (: now gotta chiong, really chiong.. I realised time is running short... still got a lot to cover!

Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

Love has 3 components mainly intimacy (sense of close emotional ties), passion (physical aspect of love but not just s** =P) & commitment (decisions one makes about a r/s)

A love r/s can involve one, two or all 3 components, and hence gives rise to the 7 different kinds of love.

Liking: intimacy only
Companionate Love: intimacy + commitment (the kind that brings pp thru' the yrs of marriage)
Empty Love: commitment only (sad case )= )
Fatuous Love: passion + commitment
Infatuation: passion only
Romantic Love: intimacy + passion
Consummate Love: intimacy + passion + commitment (ultimate goal for many =P )

So... which love are u experiencing now? Revising for psychology, though a long process... is often quite enriching... You absently go "Oh.." and "Ic.." in your head when u read things like this (:

well... weekends. usually its 'yay!'. but now its 'argh...'. Exams are about one week away.. I still have another project on my tray. The interview's tml but 3 of us cant go.. I seriously hope this time it will turn out fine, though only 2 of us can go.. and nothing crops up last min to jeopardise our plans (like last time, puis.)

been trying to mug, make myself revise psychology. But I guess I'm still pretty reluctant. Hey! We just finished a damn big project, shldn't we have some time to relax, slack & enjoy?! No. Cos I gotta remind myself again, exams are in a week's time. ARGH!

Only finished one chapter and starting on another. Cos the chapter's long, and it doesn't help that I cant sit down properly to type out the notes cos I'm like, constantly distracted by the tv.. or my bed. or some snacks. or.. well, see? u get it..

Finally, finally... The end of the FastCat project



We've all been like counting down to today, cos even though ytd was the presentation, today's the submission of the report - the real end of our project. this project has been very very time consuming.. and the 2 seniors in our group which took it as an elective actually very bo hua la..



Now very tired, cos last nite slp like 2+ and woke up early to help with the report.. But ytd we took 3 hrs off to have buffet at the new Sports & Recreation center in jurong extension there. Haha.. guys, its so cheap! $14.50 only for students.. adults $16.50.. 2.30-530pm. Then still includes drinks free flow + 1 juice lo.. sushi and a lot side orders...



Quite fun.. chatting & trying some new food.. Then when we play zhong ji mi ma, I was lucky enuff not to kena at all.. Wahaha..



Anyway.. Here's Team Cattatooee.. No matter wad, I enjoyed the project with u all though it was so time-consuming.. At least during stressful and frustrating times there were silly jokes and stuff (:

if you realised I stopped updating my blog after last wed cos from thurs onwards I was caught in a whirlwind of projects & presentation stuff. Now thinking back, I am proud that I endured the weekend! =D

Thurs & Friday was the nightmare. My proj mates met late Thurs night to do their parts of the proj in e hall. So I had to stay up n wait for them to settle down b4 I call them to update them on e proj. Then we just worked n worked, discuss a lil on MSN, call a while. All the way until 3+ when I couldn't tahan anymore. Cos we're meeting the next morning at like 10am to study for a quiz tog! They worked even harder till like 4+.. *faint*

So next morning, as expected the timing got postponed. haha, I can understand la, if it was not for the 2 damn calls early in e morning that woke me up it would be difficult to drag me out of bed. So I was there a bit early and 'chopped' some seats at the FAL. Argh.. we finished at almost 8pm that night!! The project is really time-consuming..

Sat my body protested to the past 2 days of work, little slp & loss of appetite (& of cos my hair loss )= ). Honestly, I don rem having worked so much for a project in Year 1 b4. I must remind myself that I am in year 2 now, and things are very different! I dunno whether would it be more accurate to say these are the symptoms of stress or being overworked. Becos both are equally likely. I felt very tired and couldn't work for more than 2 hrs on e com. had to like take breaks in between. Popped Panadol cold to keep that dreaded cold from coming, cos i saw e symptoms too. Mum kept asking me to drink chicken essence cos she could see how pale I was. And dizzy spells..

Sun I decided to take things easier! yeah, I devoted the whole day to rest and just preparing or my final presentation on Mon. haha.. I can't afford to fall sick now, so gotta really give myself a gd break. Thks ah pa, for meeting me to help with my excel. And giving me the chance to come out & relax for a while! =D Felt so much better after a walk at JP.

So now.. 2 more hurdles.. Then its the exams.. after thurs gotta find time to start revising for my electives - first 2 papers..

had a looong... day. Damn shag now.. Morning was rather boring with the 214 lesson. We were let off early.. We sort of like drew lots by throwing dice to see who gonna present on Monday and Wednesday and the order. You might think how becos now I'm gg to tell u there's 19 pp in e class =P she got so many different dice. 20 sided even, interesting eh? She use it once in a while.. haha. anyway, I gotta present on Mon, chop chop finish it i guess. once and for all... and I come right after Joyce, so qiao!

Oh ya, got this weird thing happen. When the die came to our table, and FOUR of us threw it like once each... it kept coming up with the no. 6 and 9! So creepy!! no matter who throw also like that..

anyway, I now feel more secure abt our FastCat. Its like, more on the tracks now. Phase 3 is not that bad.. =P just that friday gotta chiong again.. today we met at like 4 plus n finished at ard 8 lo... shiong!! now totally spacing out, just waiting for my grpmate to bath finish then i can call her to tell her her wk... arh... hope i don fall aslp!

projects & deadlines... its sth that everyone of us are trying to complete & meet the targeted deadline. Right now I see myself as still far from it... I don't dare to think abt it actually... as the days fly past... my other project is still in e 'sapling' stage, thurs then will we get to conduct the interview. I seriously pray things will go on well from there.

now every night is devoted to either editing or doing intensive research to complete my write-up on a certain part of the projects... Argh... when can I sit down & revise properly?! My 1st papers are on 15th and our last project is due on 12th... Cannot screw up those elective papers!!

alright.. enuff of pouring out my complaints, I'm tired.. need my slp so tml can carry on..

Sat night we had dropped by kor's hse to visit him.. His mum is so hospitable.. haha, kp asking us to eat things etc. I'm glad that wound of his has closed up, imagine my shock and horror to discover he had applied ZAMBUK on it! argh... u're so lucky no infection... =P

anyway, as usual when we visit him, we watched tv tog... chatting etc... we left ard like 10+, with SX sending TL home... on e way back Sompong suggested we go Macs. I was actually thinking of continuing with my wk since we ended early.. But ah.. who cares?! I'm gonna slog my guts out on Sun anyway, the few hrs doesn't matter.. (ok, I was tempted to cont after gg home, but they talked me out of it hehe, I'm shag too)

Enjoyed the chat with you guys (: I'm sure we could have stayed there like even longer if we din have to care abt wk or last buses. haha.. puis, talk abt last bus. We had to walk to my bus stop, and lucky for heow hui he managed to board a 99. Or he'll have to walk home from JP for 2 consecutive nights. Its a long story..

today is our 6th (:

in short, today is a happy day! haha... well, cos no books and alot shopping, wahaha. I know this isn't wad we're supposed to do now, given that exams are less than a mth away, projects are being due. BUT WE NEED A BREAK FROM IT!

started the day with meeting dear joyce for lunch at PS. We walked around, nt knowing wad to eat. Settled on pastamania but we got sick of the creamy chicken pasta after a while. 1pm was our 1st meeting with the other seniors in the main comm. haven met the rest b4.. esp the project managers. well, its good to know who you'll be working with next time. =P all of them seemed nice peeps!

after like 2 hrs it ended, wasn't much, just a short meeting, a lil discussion. so me n joyce went to start the real thing - SHOPPING! at Far East. haha.. haven been shopping there for quite a while. Some shops are not there anymore, quite a lot of stuff to see as usual. haha.. it was nice looking ard for nice, pretty things.. instead of: books, laptops, notes.. GRR. anyway.. I finally bought a bag! It was more expensive than my current one, but I guess its worth it.. cos it doesn't look like another buy from Bugis.. heh. If you get wad I mean, nowadays alot stuff have so many 'duplicates' on e streets. shoes, shirts, bags etc.

and I finally got earrings. wahaha. my old stud ones have sadly got lost. I'm left with one stud each for like 2 or 3 pairs.. anyway, we covered a lot ground, combed a lot shops. I enjoyed myself a lot... haha, thks for the company gal! Oh ya, saw this damn cute dog at one of the shops. couldn't help but tell the auntie that.. but its her fren's, not hers. the puppy is dunno wad breed.. hmm. maybe some poodle mix, cos its got those signature curly hair.

next was to wait for eugene to come to PS. Well, fri nites sure got jam and some more he got off wk late.. so yep.. I kept walking and walking level by level to wait lo. I think after too long a break from shopping.. my legs lost their stamina =P was seeing alot pp in this scrapbook shop n decided to go in n take a look. its quite an interesting shop, seeing how bits and pieces of paper, knick-knacks, buttons etc can be put into place to tell a story of their own. Saw this paper abt a boy.. being impatient on the car, asking 'how long? how far?' and a happy, proud father (not to mention, gd looking and looking nth like a father of two) holding his two boys like trophies in his arms, side by side.

and amazingly, there's a cafe inside.. its really a good idea, and its small, but cosy. with some people drinking coffee and eating some cake or pastry. That was when I saw those cute little cupcakes.. haha, so nice! laid out in a row in e display cupboard (: couldn't resist buying it. just had to.. esp since today was our 6th (:

I've been having two nites of bad quality slp since monday.. cos of the stupid fastcat project. Try changing figures, entering them in the software, calculating a recommended base pay. Over and over again.. for TWO consecutive nights. See if you'll slp well when those numbers keep floating in your mind when ur eyes closed for a well-deserved slp...

Argh... I kp changing them to get the targeted percentages.. Till I think I stressed myself till I was too wound up to slp properly. I am glad I finally adjusted those values to wad is considered ok for our tutor. My god... I've nv tried editing sth for so long b4...

As usual as the end of term draws nearer, so do deadlines. But after a meeting today, I feel slightly better abt my 226 project. The only prob is the interview, though alrdy granted to us, has not been fixed a day for it yet. "Possibly early next week" How definitive is that... I seriously hope nth happens last minute. We're counting on the interview and alrdy did so much background research & preparation! *cross fingers*

My list of deadlines is soo... long. Group work. Individual work. Projects, reports, presentations and the what-nots. I look forward to striking them off one by one...

whole weekend I was stuck at home... with my lappie, textbk, tv & miniclip games. I am still not determined enough to mug! dunno why when I sit down to type the notes I'll tire out and end up restless so easily =P but psychology.. though interesting the chapters are damn long..

and typing notes on my laptop gives me so much distraction. haha! I'm just not focused enuff.. read blogs, play games, watch tv.. grr.. exam's in like a mth's time.. I shld be feeling the jitters shldn't I?

now i really know wad army guys do when they are inside their bunk, bored and trying to entertain themselves. Eugene's officer frens(from his prev camp) shot a video of him and themselves in e bunk. Making him play his guitar and 'dedicate' the song to me... haha... So sweet! Though they would see it here, but thks guys, and thks dear (: help me tell them ba...

ytd finally went for the Suki Sushi Buffet after my dental appt. I've been looking fwd to it all week cos so long haven went for sushi buffet liao! And when i was lying on the chair in e dental clinic earlier, it was wad I was thinking abt to distract myself. Distract myself from the damn drilling sound and that thing going at my front teeth making me that sickly feeling in my tooth... ARGH! was filling my front tooth la... now its like any other tooth, white white liao. haha..

ytd I met this inconsiderate woman in the ladies at AH. She was talking on e phone inside the toilet. And I think she's there for damn long alrdy... Cos the woman in front of me was shaking her head and sighing incessantly at the ill-mannered woman inside. Cant u finish your business and get yourself out of there, find a nicer place to chat with your friend? I don't have to hear you teaching someone how to cook chicken soup and brag abt your trip to Japan IN THE TOILET! my god la... and she was talking in a mixture of canto and English... argh... She is lucky she nv came out even when I was abt to leave... I would shoot her my dirtiest look fit for a woman behaving like this.

Assure parents that...

Ensure that...

Improve on plans... (Not improvise on plans)

No more 'erm'... presentation over, hmm... dunno how i fare leh. The tutor gave me feedback which I thought is minor but I dunno how 'minor' is it to her... Feel insecure abt how I have done so far... After all, it is 4 AUs and takes up quite some considerable percentage in this sem's GPA... Grr...

having a presentation later abt childcare service providers. I never knew they are so 'advanced' now, its like they haven evolutionised. Or maybe its just my grp's center, wahaha... Its too good! =P

I wonder if its cos of my nap in e afternoon, or cos of the presentation jitters... I couldn't slp properly last nite. haha... I just can't feeling nervous over the presentation although this time is much easier than the last time. The topic's more interesting, rather. I even had a nightmare abt the presentation!!! That our teacher didn't like it... omg. haha...

Oh well. I can catch my slp later, today only 2 hrs of lesson - which is the presentation class. Cos my forensics got e-learning lecture... Maybe I can go for my facial? hmm...

well, except for the fact that I had a brain-draining project meeting on Fri... I had a great weekend so far... had dinner at IMM with eugene and brought him to buy his present at City Chain. Ha, timing is just right that the watch I bought for him in London is breaking down and his bday is near... So yep. Glad we could find one that fit into my budget and he liked... =P

I was quite determined after i finished my project meeting not to do anything until after the BBQ ytd... and I really did it. wahaha. Too much project work and staying up during the week... gotta give myself a break or I'll be killed by the stupid FastCat. Minshan and I made a deal today abt planning our timetable next sem so we can do project tog. Haha... She was real great help when I was doing my project today. I owe her a lot, a big big favour!

Ytd was sompong's BBQ. Actually... I am touched that he took so much effort to invite us and organise the BBQ everything... Cos its not easy to coordinate everything! And usually this kind of bday thingy is organised by us for the bday boy/gal one. hahaha... Plus there are so much things to take care of and things like the weather... you can't control and makes it so unpredictable. Guess we can say its lucky that it did not spoil our BBQ much. Just shifting here n there... (:

During the afternoon, me, shuyi, pong and HH were just chatting and sitting ard... after we bought the groceries. waiting for thong ler to turn up, at the same time we also watched a lot of amazing youtube videos. Crissangel la... And the damn good japanese guy... and the MTV which really baffled me. hahaha. Thks for that afternoon peeps, was real gd start to the BBQ!

By the time BBQ start, all the project stuff were thrown to the back of my mind liao. Real thankful to see yan and her bf, thongler & weizhe who were the most 'faithful ones' by the pit... helped a lot with BBQing while the rest of us mostly mingled and ate. hahaha... And it was the first time Eugene joined us... Glad we could all mix around well and not much 'leng chang'! Chatting, eating and of cos drinking! Its the first time I drank so much since I came back from France... haha. Brought back memories of the trip again... =P

In short, last night was simply great guys... thks for making my day (: one regret though is kor cannot join us! looking fwd to photos from pong!

back to more project meetings... just had one ytd and another one's at 1pm back in sch... 214 meeting is one that I always enjoy. No matter what assignment. Cos my grp's fun and everyone contributes ideas & is spontaneous... Ytd had a lot of laughs while in the reading room during the meeting. This week somehow we had alot of silly jokes surfacing. I think its cos Mon's lesson was too bored and we decided to entertain ourselves =P

later... FastCat project. I seriously hope its only me who did the data entry or dunno how to use the software cos I forgotten where I put my booklet. Cos the values are supposed to change so we can record the difference once I changed some input value, but it DIDN'T! tried so many times it just didn't wk... gee... tell me its only me. only cos I'm a IT-idiot...

spent the whole of last night and my evening just now trying to find just ONE STATISTIC from databases and news articles... I dunno is it me who's too picky or wad la. haha... anyway, I think I've got what we need so yep. But honestly... when trying to do the FastCat phase 2 report... I really hope its cos I am doing by myself and hasn't discussed with the rest of the group yet. I am suddenly stressed by the stupid project... ARGH!

2nd day of school. hmm... I guess the good thing abt having a good break is that it gives u a good charge up for the next 6-7 wks ahead. Which brings me to the bad thing... it feels too good for u to want to go back to sch... Just ytd I was alrdy making mental checklists of 'to-dos' and 'coming ups' through out the day. Presentations, report deadlines, and what-nots. ha. Right now its still manageable. Let's hope it stays that way...

anyway... got quite a surprise when sompong smsed to invite us to a BBQ this sat. haha... never quite expected that from him. But really appreciate it as a good opportunity for a gathering. Kor, will you be ok to walk out by then huh? maybe we can arrange some form of transport for you =P

oh ya. quite surprised by her sms today. saw it during my class. and she apologised again for hurting me so carelessly. actually, I more or less got over it liao. she said hope we wont end up ignoring each other or wad. but when we see each other after classes end (we'll always meet in the corridor cos I'll be heading out and she'll be waiting for her class) it was a bit awkward. hmm... I just nd time to 'adjust' cos I cant pretend nth happen ya. and she seemed too engrossed in e mag she was reading to hear me calling her. anyway... leave that for now... I'll see her again anyway

I had came across these cute & funny baby videos from Youtube when I was reading Qianhua's blog some time ago... And these are some of my fave... haha. You guys might have seen b4,
But I never fail to get a good laugh everytime I see these videos... And we wouldn't complain abt giving cute one more glance, would we?

"Blood"

His facial expressions are so cute!

"Baby Ally"

She has such good imitations of an adult... won't spoil the fun by telling u how. Watch it!

What a baby did to get attention...

"Funny Baby"

This might be 'obsene' to some, but I hope you understand why I find it hilarious...

I totally cannot understand why this thing can happen... OMG!

last nite I was in quite bad condition, emotionally. felt like talking to someone abt it and here comes my kor, soonhui... Had one of those heart-to-heart talks with him abt friends and friendships... About those who are and those who had been.

when things like this (or chats like this) happen, it nv fails to bring back those memories. Somehow I feel I did an incredible job of getting over it. From being disappointed, sad, hurt etc (whatever you feel when a friendship or friend fails you) to being how I feel now - neutral, numb. And even though now I see her on a regular basis in class, I treat her like just another classmate, passerby, stranger. I know, some friends are concerned abt this, but... you guys know how I feel abt this, thks for ur concern but save the effort ba. I will not give in and let myself have another chance of getting hurt de. Hadn't they say once bitten, twice shy... I was bitten more times than that.

I went to re-read my blog entry last nite and realised I should have used a better word to describe what happened. Not drifted apart, but forgotten I guess. She smsed me to apologised for everything and say it was not organized by them but her bf. And it was a last min thing and etc. Actually... I'm disappointed at not only her, but the whole bunch of them, cos its not just one or two but the whole clique's that was there. She knew there was no excuse for what happened and apologised again.

Gal, (or gals) I dunno if you would be able to see this but here's my thoughts abt this incident... You know how my friendship(s) had failed b4 becos I trusted you gals enough to confide in u all. You gals also know how I felt abt things like this but yet... How did a thing like that happened I really dunno. But what hurts is not that I wasn't there to enjoy the fun and everything, but how... I was forgotten like some unimportant information by the lot of you. When its a whole lot of you, rather than only one... It hurts a lot more. I dunno how am I going to be able to talk and laugh with you all without remembering without this tugging at the back of my mind. I am not those type who will bury everything and pretend nothing happen, let it pass. I am those that will lose trust in someone when he/she did enuff damage to lose it. Forgetting it or not is another matter. But I will definitely let u know how I feel, so yep.

Am I making a big deal out of everything? No I don't think so

just went to do some exploring on facebook and found stuff that sort of breaks my heart. Wa... Sad... How come like that? I knew of the bday last week and was asked if I wanted to share the present. On Mon I smsed to ask if they were celebrating cos I had a hunch most likely they would... at the very least meet for dinner or sth. No reply... no sms or call. But lo and behold... there was indeed something afterall.

Drifting apart is something I have experienced ever since secondary school but experiencing it again doesn't mean there's lesser pain. Its like... hai. Cos we are no longer classmates? I tried to organize outings and stuff... kp in touch etc.

Sian. They are right when they say some things are better unknown. Should never have known.

this gotta be the best mid-term break I ever had so far. And I'm so sure there's not going to be another like this to beat it. haha. No quizes after the week, no assignment, no tutorials etc. I know I shld have use this break to do something. Like revision or reading up etc. But... I sort of heck la. Since this is the mid-term BREAK, it means there's like half a term more to slog my guts out. When else can I relax when this is obviously the time to. So I shall recharge, and brace myself for the next 6-7 wks or so. More intensive project tasks for sure, cos we gotta be finishing them up to meet all the deadlines. But well... till we get there, let's not worry abt it for the moment.

So far, this week has been blissful...

Mon: Cooped up at home reading my books
Tues: Meeting HH & shuyi
Wed: Breakfast with dear (: & my first mid-autumn 'celeb' in at least 5 yrs
Thurs: My little getaway to Downtown East...

I think I shall spend weekend at home, after such an eventful week. hehe. also to settle myself down for the start of sch... Grr. Maybe that's the time to do some reading then... We'll see how it goes =P (ah gal, procrastinating?)

something just happened & I made up my mind to do something I otherwise might not have done. Don't worry guys, its not illegal or immoral, neither is it dangerous... Just did sth which might seem bad under other circumstances, but is totally justified cos I'm just showing that gals are no pushovers. wahaha... no no, eugene never ill-treat me... dont worry... This not about me...
(Wahaha... I got you curious now isn't it... Must be wondering what exactly is it...)

Today turned out surprisingly eventful thks to Shuyi & Heow Hui. I had almost spent the whole day lazing around reading my books. I was almost tempted into going to the library at JE to get some more bks. But I pulled out last min, lazy to leave my den, to face the blistering weather outside. In e end, shuyi & hh heading for IMM... so there I go... had a great time with them! haha, we spent like 5 hrs there lo. Chatting, shopping etc. The unexpected jokes really crack us up... LOL. Thks for the great afternoon guys (:

so many books I want to read!

• The 6th Target
  by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro
• Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
  by James Patterson
• Maximum Ride: School's Out-Forever
  by James Patterson
• Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
  by James Patterson
• Step On A Crack
  by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidg

ARGH! I wanna read all of these James Patterson books! And there a few more which I've glanced at the bookstore but cant find on the official website... why is he so efficient in writing.. I can never ever catch up... ):

gatherings & shopping... great start to my recess week... met up with soonhui, shuyi, heow hui, yingxiu & edwin at citylink to eat at the jap restaurant... Its been so long since i last saw edwin, nv change much eh, haha...

anyway, was quite disappointed with the service of the staff that day. It came across as surprising as the last two times I came were good experiecnes and the crew was quite helpful and responsive (yes, please note: RESPONSIVE) last evening there were 3 of them who were standing right across our table, like 2-3 metres away... Chatting or talking let's not say, since they might have been discussing some restaurant matters, we wouldn't have known. But still, shldn't u kp a lookout for customers who might nd ur help etc? If you're busy then at least acknowledge n get others to help, there were like 2 of us kept saying 'excuse me, excuse me...' and they din notice us at all. Happened like twice la... and everytime we were served cos happens that this other waitress or waiter walked past... Felt so damn pissed at the second time I cant help raising my voice... I still got their email address... Maybe I really shld shoot an email there... hmph...

anyway, back to a happier note, just came back from shopping a while ago... in JB again... this time more of window shopping since I had a great haul last time abt a mth ago... so only bought a long sleeve top... now, getting a nap b4 I go out again... hehe... have a great weekend guys...

Have never curl up in my bed or sat lazily at my table reading a book for so long... Last nite I read till 2 plus and let weariness take over me b4 I was willing to go to bed... Finished a book called 'The Second Chance'. Well, I picked it up cos I was short of a book... I hate to come out of the library without 4 bks unless I have to. Given on the limited collection at JW Library... Its hard to find newer books. Recently also been reading Nora Roberts... Writing under the name of J.D. Robb for a serious of adult crime novels in 2059.

Quite fun... In that era, alot of things were automated. Computers are 'cleverer', being able to perform commands upon voice command. Can perform multiple database functions... Doing those data mining stuff, process info to help indentify suspects etc. They also have robots... household ones like a housekeeper. I forgot wad did they name it... Haven read it in a while, it was b4 sch start that I found an interest in this series... Although Roberts got other nice crime novels too... and she also writes fantasy and romance... which many were bestsellers but I havent pick up...

Oh... Adult crime novel meaning... More violent, more brutal... and of cos like all books originating from the West, there are the steamy scenes. But I like the setting of the book, haha... interesting to 'take a peek into the future'...

one thing I dread is going for interviews. I simply dislike the formality (be it the ambience or the attire on me...) and the facade I have to put on. What I'm trying to say here is I have to keep on 'selling' myself to the interviewer. Of cos I wasn't throwing out stories & lies abt myself... Its because its simply not me to talk on and on abt myself... trying to convince the other party how good I am... etc. I'm sure alot of you guys can agree with me on this...

But poor us... Being university students who not only have to study hard, but are also expected to produce a wonderful CV boasting of your various non-academic achievements... showing how you can juggle those mountains of tutorials and projects with a active life outside your pile of books...

Are you a leader or a follower?

In what ways do you think you can be an asset to the club?

How would you rate yourself in terms of management in a scale of 1 to 10?

And more of these questions... Argh... No matter wad's the results... I am quite reluctant to give up wadever free time I have for myself (which means to be spent with eugene, slacking at home and meeting up with friends... heh heh)... Hai. Shld I hope to get it or not?

Well... a picture says a thousand words... Much less these 2, heh heh... Finally uploaded the neoprints which we took at Lot 1 that day...

Feel much more relaxed and at ease today cos the quizes are finally over! WOO!

Anyway today the forensic science quiz was quite funny. Imagine 1200 people taking the paper in the NY Audi... not enough seats to sit one seat apart... So... heh heh. You can imagine wad happen la?
A lot murmurings... discussions, whispers here and there. =P The paper was quite unexpected la. Only 25 questions? That's 20% of our grade leh... In any case, I'm glad everything's over... Looking fwd to my recess! Hope that amidst the projects and things to do, I can squeeze out time for reading a book or two... Still haven read eugene's book - 5 People You Meet in Heaven... How long was that? Till now I still haven read...

Anyway guys... looking fwd to having dinner with u all this weekend, though its a pity not everyone can turn up! Now where should we go... hmm...

am I mad... how come I see names of psychologists I've just read on blogs... Quoted on a blog, rather.

No, upon double checking... it really is there. And it really is from what I've just revised. There I was staring at the name (Chomsky... ring a bell anyone?) and furiously trying to remember what this man did or said. Proposed a theory? Named some concept? Did some experiment? All I rem is he came from Chapter 7 - human development...

All the things I have to cramp inside my head b4 1130 tml morning... Argh.

after so long, me & eug finally managed to take neoprint tog. Cos we had went to PS, Bugis Juction but the neoprint shop there were either gone or under renovation. Now when was the last time I took neoprints? It was so long ago... in JC ba. Brought back some memories, all the squeezing in the machine and frantic rush to change pose, decorate... This is the first time I take neoprint without a big crowd, haha...

lucky for us the machine has unlimited decoration time. But I wasn't fast enough to choose all the shots I want, so end up with only 2 from all the 6 we took while trying to figure out how many we could actually choose. Its ok, takes experience, haha... we couldn't figure out the Japanese words... so next time we will go back to the same machine! Oh ya, now then I noe how overpriced the neoprint shops are in town... Cos we took ours for 5 bucks only and its the same like those in HMV.

anyway, shall scan soon and upload to show u all ya... wahaha =P

Oh ya, last nite ate Ajisen's for the first time since a long time... I don't rem when was the last. But I always love their soup base and the side orders... Spoilt for choice... haha. So many I wanna eat but can choose only one... =P

Oh well, enuff procrastination... back to revision... mug, mug, mug!

woke up in great pain this morning. wonder if it was the durians which was suspected of causing my dad to be nauseous and dizzy last night? Or is it just that my good friend decided to turn up for her monthly visit. In any case, I sat on my armchair for an agonizing half an hour before I could manage to drag myself up to wash up so I can get a hot drink. Only to puke first into the toilet. To think less than 12 hrs ago I heard my dad did the same thing at the very same toilet bowl.

What is happening?! Argh. No matter wad, it is so not the right time... I need my weekend to revise... So I just popped a panadol, the last thing I want to do. Never mind if those rumours of how long they stay inside my system. Once in a while wont hurt...

Anyway, lately people seem to be having relationship prob. My ex-colleague approached me on MSN desperate to talk to someone abt her failing relationship. Sometimes, despite all the warning signals and loud alarm bells that goes off, people still want to hang on to whatever was left of a once sweet and loving r/s.

I do wonder... In a world where people are so much more educated and open-minded, where we hear many stories of how people change their partners/spouses like the shoes on their feet or clothes on their racks... Why do things like that still happen? Is this perseverance? The I-love-him-and-I-will-wait-for-him-to-change attitude? Or do they not want to admit defeat? Of cos, the main reason is that there still is love for the other party. But if staying (or trying to make someone stay) makes both parties distressed and so troubled... Why make yourselves go through the emotional agony?

No, I'm not saying this cos I am happy in my r/s now and is oblivious and insensitive to my friend(s) (well, I'm sure there are many more incidents like this to come in future...). I totally understand where all that is coming from, I just cannot understand why when the solution is so simple - make a decision and give yourself time to get over it - some don't do it. Life is so short... And another colleague once said to me: Live for yourself...

When we were in France, among our many random chats in our rooms, Veron and me were discussing a similar topic. (we had so much free time you have no idea how many topics we can have in a single night) And she said sth like I am too rationale. Cos I made such a decision before and ended the previous r/s once and for all so there was no dragging and stuff. I hate that.

I just hope, for that friend and many others out there... Make a decision for yourself. And the someone whom u love. Cos when holding on makes life for two people miserable, why not take a step back and let go... This may even salvage whatever love you two may still have for each other even though you can't be tog and have an amicable end. Life is about so much more other than love and each other... Isn't it?

幸福是看得透 而不是舍不得他的所有
- <<触摸>>

been dragging myself past these few days quite wearily... Not that I dont get enuff slp. Its the first wk I get to start lessons at 1130 on a Mon. And seeing that tues was just a 4 hr ordeal and today I started at 1030. I shld have nothing to complain rite?

WRONG!

Seeing wk piled up on ourselves as the recess wk draws nearer. Next week will be living hell for me and Joyce... Well, take a look ar what we have on our plates...

Mon: Psychology quiz
Tues: HR quiz
Wed: In-class comms assignment(which means test lo...) + Forensic sci quiz
Thurs: Phase 1 report due for project...

And so, although all of us wants a break alot, look at what we gotta go thru b4 we really get it... ARGH! Just had a teeny bit of motivation from one of our group assignment. The one which had a big mad rush and we were 20 mins late in submitting. Lucky that tutor is those kind man. He gave us A+ for our efforts.

but then, went to chk my mail n realised this hotel which I wrote to last nite to request for interview for one of our group projects... REJECTED us... damn it la. Now wad?!?!

Career Foundations Module Criteria: Full Formal Wear

Now that 5 weeks are over, from tml onwards, Mon classes start at 1130, woohoo!

( Well, taken in e toilet so that explains the poor lighting =P )

me & Joyce! I was looking at her phone and she was looking in front. haha...
I got poor coordination paiseh...

last nite would have been perfect if the neoprint shop was still there at Bugis Junction! Long time nv go Bugis le, and since me n eug trying to take neoprint tog, we tot of going there. Went for the sumptious Claypot Rice at Tea Shake Hut. You guys should really go try it! Its in the same row as MOS Burger and Mac's. Sells milk tea also... Claypot Rice is a must-try if u go there... (: a lot of chicken n sausages, and if u go on weekdays there's set meal=main course +drink.. $7.50... All thks to Veron and Guo Min who showed me the place the last time i went...

Then was dessert! Wahaha... Mango with Sago. Mango with Grapefruit. Though crossing the road to get across the street to the row of shophouses there is a bit intimidating... But so many pp's doing it!

Sian... another day of reading reading reading... Been playing this papa pizzaria game... It's wad kept me going during my little breaks between reading. quite fun, like dinner dash concept, but the graphics are cute. Maybe u all can google or yahoo it. haha...

TGIF

don't ask me why last nite, or rather this morning, I was so affected by what cousin said. Stress? Well now I'm just glad its Friday!

On air now - Sundial Dreams by Kelvin Kern, recommended by Eugene. Real soothing song (: Hope you guys like it too!

cousin just approached me with this job opportunity. long term part time as a coordinator for entrepreneurs. the pay is good. but that's not what I was attracted to. it was the exposure and of cos the effect that it will have on my CV. yeah, I'm practical... anything wrong with that?

But honestly, 2-3 hrs everyday... Its not for me... I am not that efficient in my studies. Unfortunately I happen to be those who have to wk doubly (and maybe even more) hard for results which some people can achieve quite effortlessly. by this i of cos do not mean that they did not work hard for it, but their brains are just damn smart. So I really do not think I will be able to do this, besides, its long-term... It also doesn't help that I am not as motivated to study/mug like last time in NH.

I am starting to question myself... What do I want to achieve for myself? How come when such an opportunity jumps at me I didn't take it... I worry it'll affect my grades, but it actually isn't much to worry abt anyway. What's a 2nd lower honours worth?

then cousin started asking me have i tot abt my job, my future. What do i want to do? What kind of job do I want? What path to take? My answer was for now I just want to get gd grades, better grades... cos I haven really tot abt it. Though I've been looking out for career talks abt HRC in sch, it doesn't really count I guess... But he urged me to think more abt it and not be caught in the rat race like everyone else...

I know he meant well but I'm kinda stressed by him. Suddenly find myself very cynical. Very negative and discouraged to continue reading the stupid article. I hate things like this. Feelings like this. Too bad eug's slping... could have grumbled to him... or just talked abt it...

Feel lousy abt everything, including myself.

wondering what I shld do now... Pick up some tb to read, do my part of the project or slack my time away since its thurs and tml there's no sch.

Checked my email and saw the notice from the Financial Aid Dept. Sianz... this yr get 1150... I still rem last yr i got 1600! I think it was a trap to lure me in! Haiz. Better than nothing lo. At least it'll pay my phone bills...

I guess I can idle a while more... But I shld really pick up my psychology tb. Mid-term's coming soon and it needs a lot of memory wk judging from the guidelines they gave us to prep for it...

I'm finding it a great chore to do those readings. Some are especially dry, with endless lines of bombastic words that makes it so hard to digest. Every sentence is screaming "BORING!" to me... Hai. At least the textbk's not as bad... just that its equally long but the language is so much better. You can be quite captivated by my Psychology textbk, so colourful and with lots of pictures n backgrd knowledge to let u digest everything better. But of cos, Psychology requires us to rem a lot of terms... But well, let's worry abt that later.

Week 5 is alrdy ending... its so fast, isn't it? Soon it'll be recess and then after that will be the mad rush to complete projects and compile reports... ARGH. I wonder so far... what have I really achieved in university. No CCA, no straight As. Just avg results, that threaten to be pulled down if I don't sustain them by mugging... aiya. getting increasingly sian. Uni life is so dreadful, everyone ard is finding year 2 a complete bore. With the heavy wkload and tremendous readings...

Cant imagine what will it be like when I graduate... will all these really makes us what it takes to be a consultant?

ytd I went for my facial at my aunt's shop... My cousin happens to have a coffee stall nearby at the Bkt Timah Wet Market, so I went to visit her...

Since it was alrdy afternn, business was slow so I had the time to chat with her... Glad to see that both her n her husband's wking happily tog. But I also noticed this old woman who was collecting cups there.

Cousin told me she got a sad story... When I say she's old, she really is! She's a petite woman who's got white snowy hair, and is bent with age... Walks slowly... cos of her age - 82! Over 80 and she still has to wk! Little did I noe its cos her children refused to give her money... They refused to answer her calls. Even her husband who's old like her... is also wking...

This kind of story always make me sad... There are so many different kinds of people in this world... There are those who are poor, but yet are happy becos they learn to live with their lot. Make the best out of what they have and still be happy becos they noe how to be content.

But there are also some, who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Maybe even gold... and waste their money on pricely possessions, drinks, women, and the what-nots. And in e meantime, waste their life away too...

This world is sometimes really unfair isn't it? Some people just don't deserve what life has dealt them...

Compensation - Chapter 5

Psychology - Chapters 3, 4, 5

Strategic HR - Chapters 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11

Read, read, read...

woke up today feeling refreshed. and surprisingly... Motivated. ha. Exactly opposite of what I've been feeling like 12 hrs ago. I dunno... Somehow there's this voice inside my head telling me I can do it! I can catch up on e readings! Although... I know better than anyone else, it needs more than motivation. I also need like 48 hrs in a day. haha... Oh man, all e readings... Esp psyhology... I've only read 1.5 chapters and so far its week 5 tml... *shrugs*

A step at a time... From tml onwards I won't have to work... Hopefully I can squeeze time out of projects time to read, read, read!

Later going back to school to prepare for a group presentation tml with my grp. I'm glad at least this modules turning out good. Although its not exactly my fave. But at least I feel glad there's people who's enthu n spontaneous abt it... Okies, back to my slides...

guess its almost the same for everyone when u're stressed and overworked your mood tends to swing like a pendulum and u are as easy to snap as a stretched rubber band.

I can tell you that was how I feel this afternoon. And when I had the time to rest for a while, lie down on my bed... I cant slp. I just felt so tensed. Stressed. And my mind is so full of all the project details! ARGH! Cant even rest and relax properly to recharge. I lay on e bed for one full hour. How's that... I wouldn't call that much of a rest.

Apparently gt some cork up la. Quite pissed. The person supposed to compile went to some camp and ended up not contributing much. Not that its her fault she went for camp, she forgotten abt it. And she didn't even let us noe, or make any plans to make up for it. DAMN IT. Am I supposed to ask after u? And till now I havent heard from her, still at e camp I supposed. Next week I'm going to just do my part and wash my hands off the compiling wk. Hai.

So tired now. There's a lot to do... Although someone has helped to take over the compiling from me. I know I shldn't stop... But I just dont feel like doing anything. Just stay online. Read up on my Monday presentation and wk again tml ba.

I am so looking fwd to the recess week. Now my short term goal is

- 2300 tonight: hand up the darn group assignment.
- Mon: Last Career Foundations lesson, no more morning classes for mon after that. WOoHOo!
Group Presenation for Biz Comms.
Dinner with Eug? Havent cfm. haha. but at least its sth worth looking fwd to.

Our NH gang's at Chevron's singing KTV now. Wish to join u all too, but time's too tight for me. Maybe get u all out for a dinner someday... I still haven passed u all the Eiffel keychains...

after a long day, I had just attended a project meeting. Not to mention b4 that was this 4 hrs seminar which was mentally draining... We got back our assignment which we submitted last week, a rushed and unorganized one. I rem that nite me n joyce were furiously trying to do last min changes n discussion cos we were nearing the 11pm deadline. Plus our grp din manage to meet up to do it at all...

So getting an A- was quite ok for it, I tot. Hmm... could be cos I'm tired. My groupmate commented sth which for a while I was quite pissed. But I didn't show... although I quite wanted to say sth. I rem she came to our table saying.. " I haven open the final draft leh... haven even seen it at all..."

Then when we got it back and saw the grade, she was saying if she saw it, she would do this and that. Why the explanation nv longer etc... Come on la, all those IFs... Why didn't you open it up and look thru it when I sent you all to ask for comments? Why when submit le then say so much? I know I could have done a better job compiling... but isn't it supposed to be a group effort?! Dunno la... Just felt a bit.. upset could be the word la.. Hmm joyce, dunno la.. This was how I felt, but yep.. For a while only. Dunno if you noticed or how u felt. haha. Didn't want to blow it up besides, she didn't seem to say it very seriously though she harped on it for a while.. Oh well..

The weekend which I've been looking fwd to is finally here... but tml alrdy packed with 2 project meetings for both my core modules.. So I guess no time for me to go home b4 meeting eugene for dinner.. Then Sunday gotta go back to sch for another meeting.. NO TIME!

I've decided. I will quit my calling job after next week. Simply getting too much to handle.
Don't dare to take up too many stuff at one go... in case my results get affected. Really wanna get it up by one notch ( one GPA class =P ) so I must wk hard, wk hard!

But I feel its hard cos this time round there's a lot of grp assignments. Sometimes even presentations. There's virtually one every wk for both our HR modules. So its like a lot coordination. So if u meet here, stay back there... wk once in a while. How do u catch up on ur reading huh?! Maybe I don't have gd time management. But what good is it when I dont have time to manage?

Reading one article on Hay's mtd alone took me like 2-3 hrs, cos nd to digest. They're throwing alot readings to us b4 and aft class... HATE IT! Grr...

forgot to mention in my last post... Me and eug actually wanted to take neoprints tog after the Hairspray movie but in e end we din manage to... Sad. Long time nv go PS, then do we realised the neoprint shop has long gone. Oh my, gotta update myself...

So yup, neoprint's on our agenda for now.

Today... I had sth else on my agenda... SHOPPING! My usual shopping trip in JB. This time to Jusco. With my family and 4 other family frens. (my bro's fren & his mum, my mum's fren and her son - complicated hor...)

I had high hopes for this trip cos i felt I desperately need to find a new bag! New clothes and shoes too... Cos my shoes are worn out by France actually... Those that i brought there, the poor soles walked miles... Gonna be cui soon.

My 'trophies' all came from the same shop... Alot of things going for 50% discount. 5 tops, 2 pairs of shoes and a necklace... Wahaha. Guess how much i spend? =P Abt S$90++ Only boo-boo is no new bag... I'll need to do sth abt the necklace... Make it longer, rummage ard my mum's old treasures to see if i can find the right stuff.

But having such an eventful day, I had to end it with rushing to compile my grp's stuff for Com & Ben (Compensation & Benefit, for the sake of abbreviation, not the names of my new classmate)while watching Campus Superstar... Tml gotta chiong chiong chiong! Hopefully I'll be able to do much more reading to help me catch up!

hairspray... watched it at The Grand Cathay. Woo... the seats are nice, and the theatre looks real up and glam. haha.

The movie is musical-style cos it originated from a musical. Alot of singing and great dancing... the music and everything makes u feel like dancing along with them! and the whole movie is so happy and fun-filled. of cos, every movie has a theme... the meaning behind this movie is to iron out all the discrimination and differences perceived by people... There is one particular song with some lines of the lyrics that go sth like:

The blacker the grapes, the sweeter the juice. The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste. Spread the word!

So why do they only see the colour on their faces? Why do we sometimes only see the surface of things and people? In the movie it had a gd ending, and in Singapore we don't really have this kind of discrimination. Plus the fact that everyone's more open to differences, or rather diversity... But I guess its undeniable that in certain parts of the world... some people still suffer in silence this way?

I think its really sad, that their own people don't accept them. Being isolated. Singled out for insults. Or just plain ignore you, your existence... Hmm... I guess when they say nothing is fair in this world, it really does mean sth...

Haven't been blogging cos was simply too busy... mostly with work, and just going to lessons. Well, I've decided I'm growing sick of the job and how its making me lag behind in my readings... So I shld be quitting soon. Cos I really cant get much wk done when I'm working for the whole evening and only have abt 2 hrs b4 that to do sch stuff. Sometimes printing notes, queuing, buying dinner etc... takes up alot time for me, not much left for reading, am I?

So yep... so far, my lessons... a bit boring honestly. Learning stuff but not as much as I hoped to. Feel a bit lost sometimes. I feel the concepts taught and topics brought up are too broad. There really isn't much focus. I hope the situation will improve aft I read all the req stuff in textbk. But so far, I think most pp experiencing the same thing like us...

Tml's my follow up appt for my braces. Been having it on for 6 wks! Woa. I've came so far, alrdy got used to it. haha... Its quite interesting to see how my teeth have moved, esp my canine teeth... Its now at the same row tog with the other teeth le! I have some qns to ask my dentist tml... Will see how it goes.

Today I was SO TEMPTED to eat LAKSA!!! But I din, endured... I'll wait and see how is the appt tml. If he changes the rubber bands and ceramic brackets, then next time b4 my appt I'll eat laksa, curry... etc woo! Cos even if they're stained it'll be changed anyway. No yellow, disgusting stuff on my teeth...

And you know wad, I miss Europe so much... France... saw the pics of my trip and also some of those from Yanping from her Facebook, the talk with Wenhui and Joyce that day abt the bits n pieces of our trip... makes me so nostalgic. Miss the days where I wake up in the nice Sports Hall, with the sun pouring in from the tall windows... then waking Veron up to get ready for sch... knocking on others' doors... the walk to sch... xiang nian!

watched fireworks @ Marina with Eugene just now... today's firewks were from Spain!

As always b4 the show there is this endless waiting. And Eugene happens to be not very tolerant abt waiting more than 15 mins. even if its for food. ha. So yep, since I'm not a very gd entertainer, he found ways to entertain himself also. Like talking to this photographer guy next to us. haha...

It start late though... like 9.10++ pm. And there's this lame lights show at the floating platform there with them playing with laser. I think everyone was VERY impatient by then cos pp waited so long leh... then u make us excited by counting down at the platform there... then u don't start the show but played with lazer?!?!

Lucky it was a great show... haha. Alot new firewks, some i can recognise from those i saw in France. 15 mins of craning my neck and almost 2 hrs plus of waiting... hmm. once a year, worth it ba... Last year and this year... Hmm. A bit of difference.
Last yr's show were incorporated with music. I could hear it even from across the merlion area at the 2nd bridge. But this yr... the music and everything were focused on the pp at the floating platform area. Music, lightings, angle of firewks... all for them.

Last year the crowds were more terrible. Too many pp. This yr there were crowd controls and all along Marina you see TP. all the way to City Hall Stn there's commandos at the traffic lights, police here and there. Wa... People were sometimes even running.. dash across the traffic lights.. Eugene said it was like a freakin war zone, which I must agree. The security's very tight! Poor things are those cars who kena stuck in the long line of jammed cars. Man... and the TP and commandos also add a bit of 'pressure' there...

2 weeks of sch so far. with 1 week of tutorials + presentations.

DAMN SIAN!

My HRC's core modules are quite boring... My tutors are nice but I think its the topic and the textbk tt's making things a bit dry. Plus its not helping that both are 4 hrs seminar. And they each have a rather difficult project they want us to complete. and there's damn a lot of READINGS! OMG... its like, we're only at the 1st/2nd lesson and there's alrdy readings... hai.

Boring and dry lessons aside. My electives are quite fun. Thank goodness... Forensic sci is interesting though I wish the chairs in NY Audi is not that comfortable. cinema-style cushioned seats that go all the way to ur head level... Wa... Slp condusive sia...

Psychology tut... We have a malay lady who's rather young. I like the way she conducts her tut. Quite fun, don't make me feel like falling aslp... Let's hope it stays this way...

I dunno how, but I know I gotta work hard this sem... Cannot cannot make my GPA fall liao. Must instead improve... So now? Gotta make myself adjust back. Mug gal, mug. Start reading those articles!!!

ytd was so fun! finally we got to go Sentosa tog! took quite a lot photos here and there but all in zhe's and pong's camera. hehe, you all must send us the link or sth ah...

we were so afraid it'll rain cos it drizzled a bit when while we were on the monorail. Who noes later on it was so scalding hot that I turned as red as a shao zhu and i retreated into the shelter (toilet... hehe) to go cool down and reapply sunblock on my face. I'm very glad I did cos after tt I wasn't so red and it worked out to become a tan. And it was also very unbearable to stand on the sand, let alone run! I think my feet were cooked to become well done...

anyway, we played like ultimate frisbee, volleyball (only hitting the ball to each other, not the real game though) and captain's ball! I tot we were quite enthu despite the sizzling weather leh. haha, later when more pp joined us like wenfoo, yong tat, elsie & tino, and rose, it was much more fun. Thks to all who turned up and make us all had a great work out and still have so much fun... haha.

And my fave photo of the day... happens to be of pong lying on the beach, tanning. haha... wa. i think after france my photog skills got improve a bit. haha... stupid kor, spoil the photo by saying the angle a bit obscene. Its ur brain obscene ba... hehehe. this might get me a beating...

I thought I should do Rush Hour 3 justice by separating it from my previous gloomy post simply cos its a very good movie! Those of you who's contemplating it please don't procrastinante anymore... Go grab your tickets and prepare youself for 1.5 hr of action and good humour. And I really mean good, not the lame 'ha. ha.' kind...

yup, it got the whole cinema people laughing and laughing especially at a few scenes which were rather good. haha. Of cos jacky chan's films always got NGs at the end. And it was equally entertaining too!

conclusion: WATCH RUSH HOUR 3!!!

felt better after talking to some people like kor, shuyi and eugene abt it. Well, people may say what a small world...

I say what a small, small world...

To think, after years, after putting everything down. behind. away. It all came back. Is this fate? Or is this some joke from above? I don't know how will I be dealing with it this time round, or what to think. What attitude to bring there next week. I only know that just now, everything came back in those flashback memories you see on movies n drama. bits and pieces slipping back.

well. what can I say. Yes, I don't care anymore. But whatever memories this jolted back and the nagging uneasiness in my mind from this morning till now... Even if I don't care now, I can't deny I used to. And yet, it still hurts somehow.

just want to get it all out of my mind. like... *poof*

so stupid.

how can I forget I need to submit a resume and cover letter next monday? when I alrdy did my resume in my laptop. nicely laid out and everything.

then I went to get my laptop battery to be taken a look by the technician in the com shop. with ALL my materials inside and NO BACKUP!

*slaps forehead*

What were you thinking gal?!?! OMG... Now gotta go back to the com shop and make a fool out of myself. ha. try to get it back so I can complete my assignment...

Anyway, I've been actively posting ads in the public folder in our sch's email account so I can sell my 1st yr stuff. woo... sold my financial calculator and biz law textbook. Still got other deals on hand but haven posted ads cos they're mostly still with the gal I exchanged textbks with... well! I shld be able to get them by next week. hehe.

first day

not as bad as i thought. comms seminar was surprisingly quite engaging. I think we're pretty lucky to get a good tutor. can see that he is very experienced and I shld say interested in this job. Cos he had gave up his banking career aft 22 yrs cos he could no longer stand the pressure. I think maybe this job in career services gave more meaning to his job? I sensed that coming from him... not the $$$ but the sense of accomplishment...

anyway. he's damn funny la. Kept making us laugh with his accounts of what he had met with when matching students with jobs etc. the student with bad breath. the student who cant drink and were made to attend dinners for networking etc. haha.

oh ya, and was damn coincidental to be in same class with veron and min! Totally did not plan it sia! haha...

but psychology lecture was a bit... hmm... monotonous in comparison. esp the 2nd part. Somehow the lecturers seemed inaudible sometimes. or maybe it was just my mind shutting down. hehe. let's hope it'll be more interesting ya. gotta do well for this!!!

needless to say there are always endless queues and crowds on first days in school. my morning bus ride. the lunch queue. the printing queue at the library. argh... cant stand it.
