Christmas is in 3 days time; but some how, it doesnt feel quite like christmas. Now, I have the impression that christmas is all frivolous stuff and nothing else. I wish I was back in japan right now :(

one tiny blunder and then some.

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:37:34 GMT

Oh fuck. My bad. Did you actually see everything? I hope not. Really.

gum drops baby, gum drops.

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:24:52 GMT

I have decided. I actually like relaxed weekends.

Invited jas, hui, hui's cousin (ding?), burnt bun and man in green (aaron) over for chill out saturday.
I finally learnt how to play poker. Like after a gazillion years HAHA! We played a few rounds of tai di before jas and aaron arrived. Then poker tutorial. Then indian poker (HAHAHA all the facial oil collected on the cards) then we switched to circle of death which was damn funny especially during the queen and jack cards.
Tried to pry out some scandalous information from truth and truth (which we did) and we hilariously spent a good deal of the time speaking in mandarin cause of some stupid rule that jas set.

Last night was fun. We have to organise more of these sessions people :)

It was a long time ago.

She sat on her bed; the balmy heat suffocating her. In exasperation, she reaches for the electric fan; stumbles a little, her fingers are far too short and stubby. Another exertion and she lunges forward, starting up the creaky fan which then provided much relief.

One by one, chat bubbles popped up. The heat, coupled with the post-winter flu made her easily agitated. In her frustration she closed all the other bubbles and concentrated on the one she thought would be the most entertaining. But today, unlike the numerous previous times, she found it bland; albeit irritating.

Her fingers paused over the enter key, pondering, why this change?

On love, and more.

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:34:29 GMT

Love. Dont deliberately find it; or force it.
It'll come to you, when the time is right;

When the person is right.

P/S: Have too many spaces to update. Will be on twitter and tumblr more often!

Spare me your condescending words.

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 01:05:53 GMT

Little comments, little words, make me think too much.

What am I feeling really?

miao.

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:58:52 GMT

Cant wait to fly off; 8 days more and counting.

Jas says im evil. Just because I keep trying to irk my bun of a friend.

"But he's annoying and I must irk him. An eye for an eye okay."

Massive shopping trips to get the gear for the hokkaido trip. Bought my new leather boots from aldo, goose-down windbreaker trench from espirit and a new dress and angora wool top from zara. Thank you mummy!

They will see us waving from such great heights

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:09:15 GMT

Just a random thought. Which of the two is better?

Wrong guy(s) - Interested
Right guy(s) - Not interested

i've reverted back to twitter, since it allows me to 'skinny-blog'.
Will keep updating this place whenever I can or feel like.

Books for girls.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:37:22 GMT

My only companions for tonight - Horngren & Harrison's Accounting 7th Edition, Sigur ros playing in the background and my beloved laptop.

School's taking its toll on me; my social life these few weeks have been non existent, im beginning to feel some degree of fatigue. Sometimes I wonder, did I make the right choice, choosing this school? But then again, there's no point crying over spilt milk, it's already been done and whining and harping wont do any good. Just 4 more weeks and its all over. I cant wait; really.

Take me to the riot

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:10:22 GMT

Im starting to feel really tired. School's a mash-up of routine homework, pre-class preparations and tests; with occassional events in between

Over dinner last night, my aunt phoned the house asking whether the family was keen on going to hokkaido this december since daryl and wen xuan are enlisting in January. Within 15 minutes of discussion over grandma's freshly purchased hairy crabs from hkg, dad gave the green light. So yes! Im heading to Hokkaido this december and i'm so excited.

Too excited perhaps, I've become a tad bit distracted. Thinking about the new pair of boots I have to buy before we fly. My winter wear - will they suffice? Will I get my period during the trip (We're staying in 3 onsen (hot spring) hotels! and going skiing!
And then when I start to let my mind drift a little, Im brought back down to earth - painful reminder that my finals are in a month's time.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Still feeling really tired - mentally more so than physically. Project research are building up, but I think i've managed to allocate my work well enough. Now, i just have to find time to study for my finals.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I need a facial, mani pedi; or rather, I want/feel like having a mani, pedi & facial. Facial just booked for next week. Yay!

Let's get out of this country

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:49:46 GMT

Sorry for the "spam" posts, the previous was just a private rant I had to get off my back.

Everyone asks me, how's school? TBH, im swamped with homework, projects, class preparation and more projects again. I've decided to put my job on hold even though my boss keeps asking me to return and start on work again; I've procrastinated once again, citing my over-packed schedule every time the parents ask why havent I started driving lessons. I've chosen not to join a cca despite signing up for a cart load during vivace.

But, Im actually ENJOYING it. Yes, I just said that I enjoy school. There's all this talk about how uni is a crazy hectic mess, that it makes you grow up too quickly, that you get only 4 hours of sleep a day at max. Fortunately, Im not under that big a flame yet, im sitting here, in the pan, slowly searing, gradually turning into (hopefully) a nice golden brown (awesome grades).

I have a whole headful of random thoughts and reflections on my first university school term, but im just too lazy to type them all out. Have a moderate amount of work to clear, but im going to sit on it until tomorrow, and rush all the way through to monday. Yay! Happy thought, I just remembered I dont have to wake early for class on tuesday (prof decided to give us a break to get on with our projects!) Hoorah!

I had loads of fun at settlers cafe (SMU) today! Blockus is seriously a fun game! And sitting ducks too! Such sadistic (cheap, in joseph speak) fun!
Italian dinner with the family, then to daiso, where we went on a christmas ornaments buying spree. Bought 6 reindeer hairbands - mandatory for entry into the family christmas party, a scarf-christmas hat set for the dog! And 5 very cute bean bag christmas ornaments!

Macau-Hongkong after my final paper (calculus on dec 1st) for shopping spree, HOPEFULLY a short trip to perth during the CNY holidays! I miss travelling alot!

Getting a little superficial and materialistic aren't we?

Yes you. I know you're reading this now.

Can you just stop faking it?
You weren't born and bred that way. You weren't even aware of labels and the "fine" things until what..last year end?

So why act like you know it all now?
Its..hillarious I would say!

P/s: Random rant after chancing upon some person's blog. Tee hee

Welcoming the weekend

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:33:25 GMT

Feeling so tired, falling sick, recovering, working hard, exhaustion again, falling sick and then recovering again.
I figured this would be the routine in uni.

On the bright side, study break starts this weekend and resumes next next tuesday for me. Have loads of time to complete my assignments and reports over the 10 day break. Plus phuket-penang cruise trip this sunday to wednesday with jia en and grams. Am really looking forward to it.

Speaking of rest and relaxation, I just compiled a new playlist on itunes again aptly entitled R&R. Burned my CDs over into my playlist. Have some really great artists to destress to on R&R.
Damien Rice

坂本龍一 (Ryuichi Sakamoto)
Album Leaf
Telepopmusik
A fine frenzy
Jack johnson
Cirque du soleil soundtracks
Deep forest
Owl city
Bat for lashes

____________________________________________________________________

Fortunately, school has be coming on fine. Im feeling mighty satisfied with my planning schedule that I intend to stick to for the next 1.5 weeks before school resumes.

LTB project in full force. Project training for it at the beneficiary home tomorrow. Then event execution part 1 on friday. Have to shop for project materials for prizes and station games tomorrow after training.

I find it strange how sometimes I hate the pace of work and find myself buckling under. And yet how sometimes I thrive in the pace, because it keeps my momentum going. Uni life is a very strange thing indeed.

Have several other projects to rush though. (In no particular order)

BGS final project due week 12
FA Week 9 Case presentation
CT Final group project (very fun!)(fortunately)
FA Final project on Breadtalk

And here's the homework checklist (again in no particular order):

1. Do Calculus Homework 2 due week 9

2. Study for LTB Short-answers test (After study break week 10)

3. Do BGS Personal Assignment (Due after study break week 9)

4. Personal Learning Journal for LTB due week 9

5. Study for FA Week 9 test on week 7 content

6. Prepare for FA Week 9; read chapter 13 & 14; watch FALO, casebook case 08, 16, do pre-class questions

7. Do FA Homework P10-29A, P10-31A (Req 1), Casebook case 12 Q4, 5, 6

FA = Financial Accountings
BGS = Business, government & society (Management)
CT = Creative Thinking
LTB = Leadership, Teambuilding (Organization behavior and human resource)

A new addition?

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 04:17:36 GMT

Friday night. Lazy; took to supper and drinks at liquid kitchen. Work done? Zilch.
Saturday. Tired; Gamer and random walking around town. Pasta dinner. Work done? Minimal.
Sunday. Migraine wrecked; skipped church. Slept in. Brunch now. And hopefull work done? Heaps.

Yay! My coach bag is on its way, possibly by sometime next week; provided dad does meetup with aunt in hkg.
And study break in a week's time!
Cruise to phuket with jia en! Yes, im excited much. It really is a much needed break.

Like an apple on a tree;

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:07:34 GMT

Turned to a fine frenzy for much needed relaxation music;
Feeling like a listless zombie everyday, work, project, work, project, test, work, project.
Someone kill me already.

Song of the day: A fine frenzy - You picked me

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:34:25 GMT

I actually think, I might be starting to drown under all this work. I dont have time for too many things, I've been needing more sleep than the amount of free time I have.

My profs (some), really are just merciless asswipes. Fuck off humanoid(s) seriously.

good night, good night

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:22:32 GMT

My horoscope readings for yesterday and today are so conflicting. (As much as I shouldnt believe the whole horoscope sham);
Yesterday told me to be brave, and express your feelings before you miss the chance to.
Today told me to think first before I make any final decisions.

Horoscopes are a strike-off my list then I guess.
Ill leave everything to nature (:

Your resident spammer.

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:54:04 GMT

I actually feel uneasy when im idle.
Even after finishing the day's work, I still feel like I havent done enough to feel satisfied.
What's wrong with me?

As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth;

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:39:28 GMT

Im very sure I've lost my blogging mojo. And I just realised that im running low on clothes and as much as this may sound retarded, im trying very hard not to repeat my outfits.

I need to go shopping on a weekly basis. Like one item a week for real.

Okay, out for dinns. I just had to do something for this 5 minutes hence the extremely random and meaningless post.

tuning on your airwaves.

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:20:19 GMT

Im so sorry but I cant help but build defences around myself.
Its almost like second nature.

I find it difficult to believe,
That you can see so much in me.
I feel almost like im lying to you.
Afraid then you will be disappointed when you know the truth.

Good days and bad days eh eh

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:53:57 GMT

1.47 am. Swinging back on forth, cant quite decide whether im sleepy or awake. Bordering between taking to bed and reading my textbook for next week's financial accountings lesson.

Week 1 went by smoothly, almost great I felt, then week 2 came, like an odious smack in the face, a reminder of how far I've fallen from my usual studying pace during A levels. A week worth of assignments and 2 class quizzes later and I already feel like im sinking. Shame on myself. I had better start working hard, get into the momentum of studying again before I actually screw up my first year at uni.

I have church tomorrow. And god forbid, I dont exactly feel like going; which is probably why im still up. Was looking back at my old entries. The public ones anyone could read, and those private notes to myself (as queer as that might sound) and I find myself thinking back, about the old times. About carefree times.

I've aged SO much man. Alright i've made up my mind. Im feeling sleepy now, and I shall go to sleep.

On a random note, I finally bought myself a jumper! Spotted it at river island just now after dinner and its sitting happy on my clothes line now :D Shall wear it to school on tuesday. And I just remembered, I havent blogged about the things that make my knees go weak entry as inspired by Jane's quirky blog post.

Good night! (:

HELLO.

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:45:07 GMT

Im sitting in koufu now. And I shall blog about 'things that make my knees go weak' in a while. Inspiration derived from Jane's never-cease-to-amaze -me-brain.

Let me untangle myself. Tyvm.

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:41:05 GMT

First day of school tomorrow
First day of my university life
Wow im so psyched
Not.

Im your biggest fan, I'll follow you till you love me

National day today. Gave church a miss after waking up to a voiceless morning. Went down with the rents to this restaurant called Canopy at bishan park. Lovely ambience but food-wise there was nothing to crow about. Quite disappointing actually. Asked for my mini steak to be replaced because the fries were all hard and cold. Service was quite bad and I believe they were under-staffed.

Anyway, popiah party with the relatives later. We'll probably just sit around the tv screen and lament how long the marching parade is, how cliched the performances are; and then later when they're all gone, my mind will take a guilt trip - can you imagine how much hard work they put in for the performance?

Im still germ-infested. And now, I sound like Fran from the nanny. Will be helping out as a station master for Bondue run 2 this tuesday! Hopefully I would've regained my voice by then! And and Sally Hansen nails workshop in school on wednesday! Free french manicure and foot massage (I think)! Hoorah! :)

Meanwhile, happy national day folks! Have a great weekend ahead.

Bidding for school modules gives me unnecessary worry. Seriously.
