I (or should I say we?) just made the fatal mistake of letting the stress get the better of me.

hai. lately's been hectic. I tot after we submit accounting project, the worst will be over. I'm so wrong. We still have the HR Research project to do, and its so statistic-intensive!!! We have to do analysis on the SPSS software over and over again. And esp when we had to redo twice, everything turns out more repetitive and dry as ever.

But I'm glad our S&A presentation is over, and I think we can safely say its not bad. There was a bit of a commotion during the seminar cos we got the news that Phase 2 of the PA results are out. Honestly, I really wasn't much affected at first cos my priority then was to finish our presentation (we were the last to present). But then again, later after everything (after my presentation tt ended at 6+ I went for another meeting till 9+) when I had some quiet time by myself at the bus stop... the things people said came back and you start to doubt yourself.

I think someone said sth that managed to stay registered in my saturated mind: "I thought you went for two interviews, still don't have you name on the list (results) meh?"

=_="

Nah, I din bother to go on and explain that cos for those interviews that I went, competition was v stiff. Cos I feel in a way I'll yue miao yue hei. And at that moment I din think too much abt it. Aiya, whatever la, leftover companies then leftover companies lo. I heard even got Dean-listers who also don't have PA now. So why shld an avg result person like me complain right.

Shut up and go do your work, gal.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

btw, I meant to ask myself to not think so much & do my piling work. Not whoever who said that... I forgot who anyway. I know its unintentional.. (: haha, in case you all misunderstood :P

I love how this new skin reminds me of last summer. (: Oh, if the font's too small pls let me noe, I tried to chg but I dunno how to :P

anyway, ytd has been surprisingly fun. I said this not cos I tot our dinner tog would be boring, but cos I din expect myself to really go out. I din expect JP to be so crowded on a Good Friday. Esp in KFC where we decided to have our dinner... LOL. Alot of bangas. We shldn't that bad la, ya? Its a rare treat for them...

Anyway, I'm thankful for this last time with you all before my exams! haha... as usual so much laughter. Laughed till my sides ache. OMG. how can one laugh so much during MJ?! I think the ultimate was thong ler's song. hahaha.

And like little kids we had a bit of 'hide and seek' at thong ler's void deck. Guess who seeked? No prizes for guessing. haha...

Nice view of the late afternoon sky from Mount Faber. That was after our movie ytd afternoon. Watched rule #1 with eugene, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Yeah, I'm a scaredy cat, so I covered my eyes in some parts but actually its not THAT scary.

Because in the end, the mind-blowing twist at the end caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting a twist like that. And it was very thought-provoking. To have the evil reigned in the end and the good suffering. But, well... its the unexpected ending and the well thought-out plot that makes the movie worth watching! I like it (:

But as of ytd evening, my weekend had ended.

And the continuous editing, re-phrasing etc of the usual project report is back to haunt me. When nearing the deadlines, I always get stressed up. To the extent which I lay in bed at the end of the day, exhausted physically & mentally, but unable to to fall aslp. Because my mind would be whirling with all the thoughts abt the project, what else have not been done and what improvements can i make and what not.

This time round, the acct project makes me feel even more so. Because I hope to maintain my gpa, I cannot afford to do badly for the paper or project. And acct is so not my forte, but I had to take the lead cos I'm the leader of the group. Argh... I really did my best in my part of the project. But there's a small little section that i cannot work out and it irks me.

And so wad happens? Shuhui resorts to unhealthy ways of destressing herself by snacking with potato chips at night. Not exercising (crap, I hurt my ankle agn but its really getting better this time round). Losing slp. STRESSED!

I so wanna get this over and done with!

remember the island creamery which we mentioned during dinner at Pasta Waruku? Haha. I finally got the address from eugene le, its at Serene Center! Jalan Serene.

We went there cos Eugene is craving for their mud pie. And the original plan was to go to Adam Food Center that is supposedly opposite Serene Center. I said supposedly cos we spent like ten mins walking back and forth the road junction. So funny... we cant see anything close to a bustling food center nearby! On one side was the neighbourhood police post, on another was a dark creepy building... LOL. We were like, where was it?! In the end we went to this restaurant called Mad Jack just beside the police post. It seemed good, the pricing was affordable and all around the restaurants we see magazine & newspaper clippings of recommendations.

We wanted to kp some stomach space for the dessert, so we decided to get sth not so heavy. In a hurry I didn't take pic of the food, and also cos the lighting wouldn't allow my hp's cam to take gd pics. And we were in a hurry to finish it cos I was given wrong info from a website that the Island Creamery closes at 9pm la. And my food came at 2042. I took less abt 8 mins to finish it and off we go rushing to Island Creamery. haha... I had Grilled Fish in Cream Sauce while Eug ordered Grilled Chicken in Black Pepper Sauce. I must say his chicken chop was quite big!

And here comes the star of today's story...

The mud pie's actually like an ice cream cake, so its pretty hard to start by eating that. A tad too hard cos its like frozen. The double scoop ice cream, the scoop on the left pretty's obvious wad is it - Cookies & Cream. And the one on the left, anyone wants to guess? Wahaha. I bet u cant get it...

Teh tarik ice cream!

And it taste real good, no bluffing here. We were saying it tastes better than some of the real tea we drink out there. You know... sometimes the teh tarik in Can B can be so argh. Like diluted. :P This tastes great!

I'm thinking of how to bring us all there... Eugene told me to choose 3 people to sit at the back, I was telling him its not possible. I want all 6 of us there! haha... Then can bring u guys to try Mad Jack too... hai. We'll see how, maybe when Pong or Thong Ler buys a car?!?! wa... long wait. hee.

sometimes I wish, I'm loaded.

I was having a bit of a dilemma ytd after catching some slp & waking up for my Sunday. Shld I meet Eugene or just stay at home to do my untouched acct tut that was due the next day?

I know the politically correct answer is to stay at home, be a gd gal and finish up my work. But then like Sat, I looked back at my week and I realised that I didn't had much of my personal time at all. I know, recess week is NOT a break. But hey, its the only time in the term where u can do sth in e week w/o feeling guilty that you have not done a certain tut or wad. So... I went off to town, initially to see him in the COG ceremony. Actually we were expecting it to be cancelled, and we would just meet for dinner. But who knows that in the rain, it still started. And I didn't had an umbrella with me. So I ended up reading a nice book in Times at PS. James Patterson! I want to finish the book again some day. :D

So, dinner was simple - Kopitiam. haha.. usually in cold weather like this I like to have sth hot & soupy. Which made me ate my ban mian! Love the soup base, yummy!

We actually have an 'agenda' for wanting to eat dinner at PS. Cos I wanted to try the Mango Ice at Ice Monster ('Bing Guan') at B2. Saw it there for some time alrdy, and last few weeks it was featured in some show on Ch8. So yep..

Its not bad, I had wanted to try the durian mango ice but eug was sort of having a bad throat. But ya, we both think its a bit overpriced. We ordered the bigger one for 8.50. Its like the size of a medium soup bowl. Hee.. but the ingredients are fresh. Love the mango!

the recess week passed by in a flash. I wouldn't even say its recess week, puis. Look at the amount of work we had to do, meetings we had to attend, research for projects we had to do! And I havent even factor in my tut & revision. I didn't had time at all.

And so I decided, if there was any day of the recess week that I shld and CAN feel its recess, its the weekends.

Met shuyi & co for dinner at Marina Sq. Never fail to feel good when I'm around you guys (:

Dinner at Pasta Waruku! First time there. Pong recommended their cold pasta (every one of the 4 is nice :O ) but I had wanted sth warm & creamy! Haha... my fave pasta is anything with creamy sauce. Perhaps next time then. The pasta was nt bad, but there were a lil hiccup here n there. Starting with the drinks the guys ordered. Soonhui & Pong ordered some lemon drink which tasted TOTALLY like lemons - very sour. eeks. Then Shuyi's pasta order was mixed up somehow by the waiter.

So.. our dinner ended very early, but our nite was so not over yet. Somehow I find myself in KBox @ Suntec City. Its the first time since the last where I just sat there and sing along, refusing to take the mike. Hahaha. When was that huh?! JC?

Ok la, I got sing ok! Pong they all even wanted to buy 4D/Toto lo. ok la, give you all 4 words. 1525! haha. The cost of my pasta (15) and the KBox session (25 - thks to 'subsidies' from pong & ler). Quite enjoyable.. but i am still nt used to KBox ok.. ha. We ended pretty late, walking to a bus stop somewhere ( I dunno where, it was dark & pong was leading e way) to take NR5 home. Woo.. its been so long since I was out so late. Reached home at 3+.

I wonder when will we hang out till so late agn?
