its another mon.
went for the 1st measurement tutorial with dreaded feelings.
i tot its was another grpwork thing, where i have to start my whole "faking" session again.
dun get me wrong, i dun have anything against working with pple, juz not those in my fac. most of them anyway.
i will not get into details on wat i went thru these 4 years, but i m really glad to grad soon.
i m getting really tired of all these. really.
but on a lighter note, my tutor finally changed it to an individual tutorial.
which means 10% of my marks all lie in my hands.
i dunno if dats gd or bad.
met up w cec, ching n her gf for lunch at munchie monkeys.
haven seen ching 4 damn long man.
still as stylo as ever. lol.
tokked abt sum future stuff.
she plans to have a fake marriage when the need arises, den live with her real partner, and maybe her gay "husband's" partner too.
2 same-sex couples under the same roof.
sounds like an idea to me. LOL.
felt like a little gal on the way home.
slept the whole train journey from boon lay to pasir ris, head leaning against the glass partition, hugging my sch bag.
bot a kit-kat ice cream at pasir ris while waiting for the bus.and "sucked" water from my water bottle.
i dunno whether pple were looking at my ice cream or at me, but i dun care.
i haven had ice cream 4 quite sum time.
made me a little happier.
but made me have the feeling of juz disappearing into some ulu kampong, sitting facing the sea, and eating an ice cream cone. shrugz.
maybe i haven gone on a holiday for quite some time.
or maybe i juz need an occasional me-with-nature time.
i am not emo, juz tired.
or at least dats wat i choose to believe. :)
i shld start sending my resumes soon.
some of my peers already got a job b4 they even grad.
but honestly, i dunno if i m up to this.
spent my 4 yrs balancing on a thin fence btw success n failure.
but i definitely know one thing, judging by the way things are going now, i cant afford to fail.
to put it simply, i need a high paying job w a good future.
even if i have to die of stress becoz of it, i dun have a choice.
not until i can save enough $$ to do wat i REALLY wan.
so yeah, shall start praying hard i can secure a job, the earlier the better.

“Who are you thinking of now?”
“And if you’re still thinking of him/her two hours later, you’re in love."
"Love is a simple thing. It’s either you love, or you don’t. You can try everything, almost everything to prevent yourself from loving, but it all boils down to this: Either you love, or you don’t.”
The Magnet Theory
"You’re like the North Pole of a magnet bar, and ur partner is also like the North Pole of a magnet bar. There’s no way for both of you to be close together. There’s a force that’ll always push you both apart. This force is called the obstacle, like interest differences, communication problems and etc. However, if you put a metal bar in between, both you magnets will stick to it. And you’ll be close to each other. That metal bar dissolves the force that pushes both of you away. And that metal bar is what we called love.”

random stuff:
suddenly tot of a whole paragraph of stuff on love and relationships this afternoon.
wanted to blog it down, but was too tired.
next time den.
its supposed to be a special day 2dae, but in 2hrs and 2 mins time it will be gone.
and nothing special happened today.
i normally hate mondays, for obvious reasons.
was thinking a couple mins ago, "should i blog? wat should i say? do i even have anything to say?"
blogging might juz become a habit 1 day.
even if i have nothing to say, i will juz log in to type out some last-min churned-out words. like now.
went to carol's bdae party for a short while last wk.
and obviously, saw angel (for those who noe who she is).
and once again, she continues giving off that air-of-superiority look to me.
maybe becoz she thinks i will listen to her every word again.
but no. no longer.
mistakes cannot be repeated.
anyway i noe she wun be reading dis. :p
getting a little tired of working.
but i wun deny i still wan to continue working.
but will be working lesser, to make way for more impt things.
any working starhubbers wanna buy hp?? :)
enough of crap, back to youtube.
Wednesday, January 17, 2007,12:16 PM
manz, singaporeans are incorrigible sia! (of coz not all lah)
juz watched episode 5 of Girls Out Loud on youtube (which gave me alot of probs!)
and 1 segment was dat they set up an imaginary booth outside a shopping ctr (i tink its tiong bahru plaza, but doesnt matter), and pasted signs in front of it asking pple to queue to get a free gift, but nvr state wat free gift.
and wat happens after dat?
yeah u guys guessed it right, pple start queuing!
den when the hosts go ard asking the pple wat r they queuing for?
they either say "i dunno" or "for free gift loh"
and when they ask them wat free gift, none of them can answer.
when asked wat free gift they want to have, they can actually answer things like "anything oso can, as long its free, anything oso can" *faintz*
den when they enter the booth, they are given a chance to complain anything abt singapore or singaporeans *rolls eyes*
and basically, only 1 word to sum up their complains: SELF-CENTERED.
almost all the complains they made are to give themselves a better life.
with the exception of dumb stuff like plant more trees so we get more oxygen *rolls eyes again*
and summore dumb stuff like "i love singapore, i want to live in singapore till i die"
on national tv. pengz.
pray this prog wun get broadcasted overseas, if not damn 'throw face' sia.
and pray those foreigners wun wanna watch this prog on youtube, with a host dat is bimbotic-minus-beauty and dumb singaporeans. *shakes head*
so give me a reason i shld be proud of being a Singaporean?
ok enough complaining.
a hungry man is an angry man.
waiting for my fren to reply my msg so we can go eat. urgh.

not exactly my 1st-choice mods, but better den nothing.
and finally managed to tok to my supervisor for the 1st time.
was a close-call man, went to gatecrash his office yest, but he was not ard, so i was thinking "shit man, so suay", until i walked out of his office, and saw him gg into the toilet! so i juz waited outside for him to come out (yah, abit like a stalker i know, but bo pian), and ask to arrange a meeting with him. but gotta wait all the way till next wed coz he is a busy man! urgh.
and juz found out dat i actually have to hand in a final draft to him by the end of this mth, and a final unbound copy by 15th feb! judging by the amt of work he has, i m prob left to do EVERYTHING myself. urgh.
work aside, diarrhoea and headaches are pissing me off.
but worse of all is the stupid ulcer right on my gum!
becoz of that stupid thing, i can only either eat liquid/sick food like porridge or chop up my solid food machiam baby food like dat, becoz i cant open my mouth for more den 1cm wide?

wateva.
and dat professor of mine still refuses to reply my emails for 1 whole sem.
and when i try to gatecrash his office, he is not ard.

and i haven started a single word on it.
juz great.
and i found out dat my dear parents opened my letter without my permission ONCE AGAIN.
and "guang ming zhen da" placed it on their dressing table.

cant they juz bloody brg it up to my room or leave it downstairs UNOPENED?
urgh. pple are pissing me off.
i knew i m gonna have alot of things to clear dis sem.
but i really dunno how and where to start.
and i know i really need to get thru this fucking sem so dat my ears can get peace and quiet.
which also means getting thru all the "catfights" and "bitching" and blah.
but now i only know i m really tired. and grouchy.
Wednesday, January 03, 2007,9:08 PM
another full day of slacking at home.
tempted to go out and get bb tea in the noon, but was too lazy.
too absorbed in enjoying life.
woke up and realised maid went to office, so cooked maggie mee for brunch and spent 2hrs+ clearing up all my shows in the tape.
den went up to my rm and slacked on my bed with the 1st of the 4 romance novels i borrowed from lib days back.
hmmz, and this book has juz abt as much sexual content as romantic ones (not chosen on purpose hor).
so basically the whole afternoon was spent with my book, leftover tapioca chips, a pkt of dried mango and a cup of iced green tea. *grinz*
didnt realise it was lunar 15th until the OH told me, but by that time i already finished my maggie mee with fish, wantons and beefballs liao (oops), so went veg for dinner.
no meat at all!
haven done this for a long time liao.
the last time i went fully veg (and for 1mth+ somemore!) was in early 2005, for reasons i see no need to mention here.
wun say its desirable, but i tink twice a mth on the 1st and 15th is pretty gd, if i can rmb when r the days, dat is.
gonna be a busy day tmr running ard.
have to treasure my last few days of freedom, b4 i have to travel to and fro clementi again.
*sulks*
Tuesday, January 02, 2007,9:26 PM
broke my record again.
went cec's hse to play tong xiao mj w cheryl n the OH(other half).
lost alot man! urgh.
i tot cec's definition of "tong xiao" means play till abt 2/3am, den slp a few hrs.
little did i noe, by the time we finished, its nearly 7am man!
and i had to wake up at 9+ coz gg for k lunch the next morn.
so dats abt 2hrs of slp.
and i could see the "i so wish i can bash u up" face on the OH when i woke her up at 9.30.
oops.
went for a quick bfast, b4 meeting eve at cityhall.
she was late, so i ended up going to kbox to take the rm 1st.
well, ktv was.....ok, i guess.
after ktv, went home to try and catch a few winks b4 gg out for dinner w family.
minus the amt of time my hp woke me up, i napped abt 1hr+.
dat makes a total of 3hrs+ in 24hrs. woah.
gonna slack at home for the next 2 days liao.
$$ starting to deplete liao. heh.
and i guess, i wun get a chance to slack at home often when sch starts. *shrugz*
Monday, January 01, 2007,4:12 PM
woah, its 2007 now.
muz start to change the calendar in my brain liao.
was quite surprised when mum came up to me juz now with an ntuc bag and said "ger ah, i bot sum snacks for ur mj session 2nite"
i juz went "huh?" and took the bag.
she bot a big pkt of seaweed flavour potato chips and a pkt of dried mango.
dat moment i didnt noe how to react, so i juz thanked her and said "wow, i wan to leave the dried mango at home for myself!". lol.
its always a prob when pple suddenly start to treat me so nicely. even if its my mum.
and after dat, we watched this Fei Mao show on tv, which talks abt friendship and kinship n stuff.
was juz sitting there and thinking "is this show supposed to tell me sumthing?"
and mum kept asking me to eat this Xue Ha dessert she boiled.
overall, only 1 word, STONED.
prob due to lack of slp last nite.
hung up w her ard 3+, but i only really got to slp ard 6-7am, coz i vaguely remembered seeing the sun?
not even the 1 panadol i took hrs ago helped (ok, maybe 1 not enough).
gave her an afternoon call at 12.30 to wake her up, although i noe she prob will go bk to slp after dat. lol.
but i still had to go down for lunch after dat, so basically, 6-7hrs of slp?
gonna count on coffee and snacks to get me thru 2nite's mj session man. cant wait!
and dat pig STILL doesnt wanna leave her hse. lol.
