resumed my kickboxing class today after a one month hiatus. gahhh the instr sucks today. made us turn so many rounds i actually felt giddy. i mean HELLO. i didnt even get a good workout. i need to burn all those fats from the marina bay steamboat buffets! i want rasol's or ray's classes!


ahem. yes. well yvonne, kelvina n i went for a nice dinner and dessert. yummilicious!! and oh yeah, yv, hongyi, bain n i were talking about our impending bangkok trip this afternoon. I AM SO SO SO SO EXCITED!!!! i cant wait for next sat to come and i dont them to end! ever! we were excitedly planning our trip, where to go, what to do etc. haha and we r only going to bangkok. we were as excited as when we went hongkong last yr... ARGH i miss hongkong! i wanna go hongkong again! i love hongkong! this time going to bangkok with 3 of my favourite gals, plus shihui, zijun and jiahuan. 3 more travel kakis, hope it's gonna be fantabulous!


i think i'm really a lucky girl, despite all my whinings, insecurities and inadequacies. i have a loving and supportive family, the best i can ever ask for, i have friends i can trust my live with, who incidentally, are the bestest travel mates and confidants, i'm been in good schools.. CEDAR, vj and smu.. and i have the fab5 in school. and of cos my dear kelvina. how can i forget.. i'm a blessed gal.

i drove yesterday. which i thought was totally screwed. my dad's toyota altis is like very much wider and higher and bigger than my instr's nissan sunny. and i cant really see the sides and the front of the car while i was driving. thank goodness it's auto gear man, i cant imagine it being manual. my dad had to tell me how close or far away i was to the damn kerbs lor. i am so not familiar with his car. BUT I WILL BE. i am determined to get comfy with his car and learn to park without poles ahahahaaa..


went to celebrate pearlyn's bday today.. went to sing at party word then went marina bay for dinner.. was great!


i'm too tired to blog.

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!


yeeeeeaaaayyyyy!!! i passed it with 14 points!! heeheee, not bad considering i striked the damn kerb while vertical parking. and he penalised me for early clutching during emergency brake (like who in the world gets tested for e brake?!!).. curcuit quite terok this time but but my route 4 was near perfect heeheee. aiyah whatever man, i'm just glad i passed it!!
now gotta ask my dad to teach me how to park WITHOUT poles. he insists that it's chicken feet. bahhh.
uh, kevin suggested that i get my brother to act as the poles hahaha.


went to watch "guess who" just now.. it's super funny! n ashton kutcher just rocks totally.

firstly, i'd like to apologise to kelvina for bailing out on her today.. so sorry babe, but i had a splitting headache which felt as thou someone was slicing thru my brain with a parang. no kidding. it's still here, just that it feels like a common kitchen knife instead of a parang now.


secondly, to huiying, sorry sorry for leaving ur name out in that previous entry. i used your name as my color template and forget to insert the letters h, u, i, y, i, n and g back into the original template. if u remember, there were 2 commas after yvonne's name... yah that space was for u one.. heeheee.. and rite, thx for your tag. i just wanna say pls don say that it's partly your fault or what for making me a cynic.


thirdly, to those at the BE chalet on thursday, thanx for the fun.. gayle for opening the door for me at the ungodly time of 10am, everyone who went for our kbox session, dawn, ln and huixin for playing mj with me, and the bbq in general la.. was fun while it lasted..


fourthly, to stephanie of survivor pulau, u go girl! u rock! u remind me of alicia in another series of survivor but i really hope those remaining idiots wont vote u out like they voted alicia out cos they deemed her to be a "strong competitor".. u go girl!!


gee, i havent watched survivor since that alicia series (i think it was season 2: the australian outback) but for some unknown reason, i started watching survivor 10: palau. and found myself hooked to that series.

i feel... i dunoe. it feels as thou i'm awaiting for something to happen. but nothing's going to happen if i dont do something in the first place. i'm going in circles aren't i? well, maybe it's because all i'm doing now IS waiting. waiting for results to be released, waiting for a job to drop from the heavens, waiting for a day where i actually have something to do. hahaha. i'm enjoying the slackers' life so much that i'm no longer complaining that i'm at home all the time. in fact, i LOVE being home. i love staying home, watching tv, doing nothing, surfing for meaningless stuff, chatting with my dad and helping him with the little things in his work. it feels so..... homely. i love it.


oh we got back bgs n biz law grades and this time, must really thank my lucky stars liao! after none-too-encouraging minor and major project presentations, i actually got an A-! haha. i conclude that it must be due to 2 things: 1) major project report in which i threw my heart liver skin lungs and kidneys into compiling; and 2) midterms. hey i know i failed my midterms but i failed it with a respectable 44% and the highest was 58% so i guess i didnt fare all too badly. and after that disastrous biz law midterm paper (C+ anybody?), i actually got an A for biz law! yipeeeeee! i thus conclude that it must be down to the following factors: 1) definitely the A+ grp project which admittedly, i didn't contribute to the max of my abilities due to bgs; 2) class participation & 3) final paper... wahahahaaa. i just hope MA won't let me down. i dont really care all that much abt AS and CT since they are half credit courses.
*whew one whole long para abt grades! how unlike me! but this time get good grades must brag abit, i threw my soul into it leh! esp b-damning-gs*


on the hindsight, it;s time to go and meet the peeps i've been neglecting due to all those crushing projects!
kelvina - babe i promise we will go for a shopping spree again; hang in there! and hope that u r enjoying school life now!
bain - self explanatory. bcos u are bain and bcos i miss u so so much. hurry up and finish ur exams!
yvonne, bai n, hongyi, shihu i & zijun - i promise yv n me are gg to plan our bangkok trip sooooon!
tianhao - time for our dose of talking-about-nothing-much-but-it-feels-like-we-talked-alot marathon sessions!
nicholas - nicccccc havent seen u in the longest of times! lets go watch another movie, and i promise i wont make u watch korean films like "windstruck" with me! heehee.. this time u choose la okies..
celia, yy, qq, vanessa & weiting - havent seen u all in the longest of times!
the smu ppl namely yv, huiying, anna, ray, LN & edmund - do we even need a reason? hahahaha..
and ppl like edwin, gb etcetc.. long time never meet up liao!


okies i'm off to watch the oc eps19! it's a gd life i'm leading, innit? *grins*

karen and i... dont u just love photoshop?? =)


------

hmmm went to wala's yesterday with yvonne, huiying, LN and ray.. it was really great company, with great music and nice drinks heh.. realised that we havent really talked crap together for a long time liao. n yes ray, u were more cock than usual last nite. watssup with the hoegaarden with added ingredients and "nelson".. but thx for the fantastic company anyways, peeps. i love yvonne and hui ying is already a given.. so here goes, i love ray n ln too!


anws, i saw karen at wala too and it's really great to see her again. it's actually quite "woah" when she's like graduating and i'm like, just finishing my first yr in smu.. but nonetheless, i really like that gal a lot and hope she finds a job real soon. fulfill ur dreams of being an air stewardess! ahahahaaa..


went for supper after leaving wala..talked abt relationships, cynicism and idealism.. 2 idealists and 3 cynics there so it made interesting conversation. and what ray said just serve to make me realise how much my life has changed. i used to be the eternal optimist, the idealist who nonetheless is a bit practical. i also dont know how i became such a cynic now. maybe it's just the people i meet along the way. ray thou i disagree with u abt some stuff u say but it's "enlightening" in a way la. yvonne! we must learn from ray! thou i NEVER ever thought we can learn things from ray ahahahahahaa...


i think the company is more important than anything. we could be at paulaner, conrad hotel lobby, victoria street food centre for all i care, what matters most is who i spend the time with. and yesterday was time fantastically spent. thanx for the great company, friends. let's do this again soon.

adapted from yvonne's blog:
by the hugest teist of coincidence, after random numbers, we were sitting to each other for the MA paper...
"It's quite funny to hear me and jiahui taking turns to sigh and there was once when the 2 of us were reading qn 3 and we both sighed at the same time so we laughed at our timely exasperation...and the invigilator immediately, i repeat, immediately walked over to our row on my left...but we jus go back to reading the question. "


hahaha yeah that was one funny thing that happened during the MA paper...


and yes i just remembered: TMR IS MY LAST DAY AS A FRESHIE! mymy... time flies. 4 months later, i'll be part of this group of people known as the sophomores, who in their free time, never fail to complain about freshies being horrible and hogging all the school facilities and being so kiasu! ahahahahhaaaaa....


------ Tuesday, April 12, 2005

2 down, 1 to go! i thought AS was tough - until i came across the MA paper. totally slaughtered. end of story. bizlaw left to go!

youyi> i wasnt feeling lost. i was just damn damn tired and so so hungry. and just super glad that MA is over. ahahaha.


gonna mug now!


------ Saturday, April 09, 2005

come to think of it, it's kinda incredible that this sem is ending! i never thought i'd live to see this day, at the rate things went thru'out this sem. it seems like eons ago that i had complained to cq, kevin n yvonne that this sem is gonna be a downright shitified sem because of my classes. now.... it's ending! yay!


this sem is indeed difficult to get thru. there are just simply lots of times where it feels almost as thou i'm intruding on a class that knew each other for too long a time to bother about other people. they are not hostile people, neither are they unfriendly, it's just that it's kind of difficult to integrate into such a class. that aside, there was also the truly hell week of 3 projects/reports due on the same day, the #@$&@*$E&RF* bgs major project... i'm glad those are over.


and of cos people. think hy and maybe maybe yv will know what i'm refering to. ya hy, i know u said to take a break and maybe steer clear of all 3 of them.. i know and i try. hahaaa. ohwells. i'm still surviving so it really isnt that bad.


-back to mugging-


------ Friday, April 08, 2005

nothing too interesting happened the past week, unless u deem mugging to be highly interesting. but just so i'd look back and console myself that i did study for the upcoming exams, here's how i spent my week:


sunday: mug and slack (more slack than mug) at home
monday: CT meeting (which ended in an hr and we spent the remaining time watching "closer" on the huge screen thru yh's laptop), mug and slack at home
tuesday: driving, then mugging with anna n ln in the afternoon and yvonne n jiahuan til 11pm
wednesday: met khoo wrt MA, then mugging with yvonne and ray till 11pm
thursday: mugging at home cos too tired to go to school
friday: CT class, then mugging at home


wow i'm so proud of myself. ok entertain time's over, time to get back to process costing, relevant costing, capital budgeting and what-have-yous.
and thank goodness gan isn't gonna teach tax!


Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my head won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway


Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you


It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well


Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do


Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my head should go away
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway


Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
And that won't do
You know it's you
I'm talking to


"Writing To Reach You" ~ Travis


great song.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends


like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends


here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are


as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends


summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends


ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends


here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are


as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends


Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends


like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends


"Wake Me Up When September Ends" ~ Green Day


it's been playing in my head again.. wake me up when everything ends.

i couldnt really believe my eyes when i watched miss singapore universe last nite. REBECCA LIM?? she was in my erra.. i was her ogl back in vj! she's the gal who hui ying thought is pretty but i thought otherwise. well, not unpretty. she's pretty yes, but not exceptionally pretty. know what i mean? but anyways, i still feel happy for her.. 4th runner up eh. hahaha.


anyways.. the pope passed away last nite.. even though i'm not a catholic and neither do i feel a sense of special attachment to the pope, i can feel this air of sadness in the world. someone great has passed away and the whole world, while grieving for him, is glad that he has returned to be with the good lord. someone special indeed.
