In Shanghai!! The new home until 28th Dec.

Thanks phoenix for sending me off (and missing the last train). Thanks for the photos!! (which is currently sitting on my small bedside table)

I got the window seat on the plane! From above, the land look so flat, very lighted, and the sea is like so vast surrounding the smaller land. Said final goodbye to spore. Hmm…it felt weird, not scared/worried but rather the “excited going for short holiday” feeling. Maybe it hasn’t hit me yet.

Arrived @ Shanghai Pudong Airport, Terminal 2 early this morn around 6.30am. It was pretty cold, around 27°C (so different from the killer heat during daytime).

The school arranged shuttle bus to bring us to the GIP Shanghai Office, where we had briefing-cum-breakfast. Breakfast was soya bean milk, 饺子, 糯米饭stick with 油条and pork floss inside (quite nice but quite dry).

From there, our housing agents brought us to our apartments. A total of 3 groups (including us) engaged SenS housing agent, 1 in puxi (陆家浜) and 2 in 浦东(隆洋). The first drop-off point was puxi (陆家浜), so we had the chance to see puxi. Crossed the 南浦大桥 (above the 黄埔江) from pudong to puxi. This is the only bridge linking pudong and puxi, the other 5 links are all tunnels. Managed to see a rather good view of parts of puxi, but could not see too far because of the rather strong mist from the air pollution.

陆家浜 seems like a very happening place, so many small eating places, shopping centers, banks, etc…Quite big difference in the houses, high rise condominums on one side of the road and very very run down 2-3 storey houses on the other side.

隆洋 (where we stay) is a more quiet residential area. Quite happy with our house, its quite big and considered quite clean. No view though, coz we staying on the 1st floor. Luckily we didn’t get the other house, the other grp in long yang has to climb 6 stories everyday!! Coz they stay on the 6th storey with no lift.

Not much eating places nearby, mostly restaurants, no 小笼包 and cheap food. Settled our lunch at a nearby restaurant, with coca-cola flavoured chicken wings (couldn’t really taste the coke), some fatty pork with 梅菜(which is super nice!! The pork taste like those in the dumplings in spore), some vegetable in soya sauce (which came in long crunchy stem with almost no leaf!! We were like shocked!!) and corn rice for a total of 25 RMB.

The heat during the day was just killing us. So we da bao-ed our pizza dinner straight after lunch and spent the afternoon lazing around in our air-con house watching the Beijing Olympics on TV and napping.

Walked to the METRO supermarket and bought lotsa stuff (pillows, bedsheet, towel, cups, hangers, water filter, etc.). They dun give plastic bags!! Felt like sandbag training, carrying the stuff back in a recyclable bag.

We spent quite a while fixing the water filter for the water dispenser in the house. Trying to understand the manual in Chinese!

Fixing water filter in progress

Filter is working!!

Maybe I shd juz dun bother yea…

Back frm 2.4km jog + 400m walk + 2.4km jog…yay...but was really slow slow jog…tink took 16-17 mins for 2.4? ehh..no idea…was juz running real slow…especially for the first 2.4km, like cannot pickup speed…second 2.4km was better, but still I tink slower than usual training run, shucks, damn unfit now…but at least i tink the slow jog helped clear the lactic acid, now like not suaning already...yay...

Attempt to make me feel less guilty….

But that was like my 9th shot from the tee, lolx…finally managed to 1 shot get onto the green, and then 1 putt got in!! Golfing todae was ok, improvement on the short game, i.e. chipping and putting, but not the sand!!! Argghhhh, the 2nd hole, I tink I more than triple bogey the 3rd hole, hit so many strokes until I dunnoe tt hole call wad liao, gt stuck in the sand bunker again!! Argghhhhh…

Nice yummy sushi buffet to look forward to after tmr’s golf game =)

The training season starts….

And I’m freaking unfit, run also cannot run properly, freaking shit….okaes, 1.5 wks since I last run….for the past few days, haf been doing other exercise but not running…needa start dragging tiga doggie for runs….

New stuff during training…long time nv lift weights liao, damn tiring but kinda effective I feel…coz when go back into the water like suddenly gt more strength for a short while onli then end training liao…

Okaes, time to zzzz a while….

Played 9 holes todae…first few holes were fun, 2nd hole dropped into sand bunker, zzzzzz, so tempted to play cheat and juz take out the ball, but my dad ask me try, so reluctantly no choice, but managed to get out in 1 shot, was stunned, first time first try can get out, but heng onli, everytime go into sand bunker I’ll be damn pissed, coz can take like 10 tries the freaking ball will still be in the sand bunker, haas…

Lost 1 ball at the 4th hole, ganna scolded, my dad say I too greddy liao, tee off wif 6 balls, coz veri few pple playing, so I hit until get 1 gd shot then move on, in the end took 6 shots before can get a satisfied shot, then couldn’t find 1 ball, also gt pple catch up liao, start chasing so no time to go search for tt missing ball…

chuied at the 8th hole...couldn’t tee off properly, either kept topping the ball, or hit behind the ball and cause a big hole on the ground, argh, maddening, cannot hit more shots also, coz gt pple chasing behind, argh, tt hole not fun…but overall, it’s still fun…soon will not be allowed to play on the golf course anymore once turn 21 and no longer a junior…muz cherish every game…

after golf, met up with naf pple for dinner at raffles city shokudo, the queue was supper long, food there is nice but veri ex, not worth it, but treat by top 3, haas…ate yummy sushi, yummy cheese plus egg plus ham plus some sweet onion flakes on top, nice macha drink, yummy waffle plus ice-cream, crisp wif banana & choco, mango ice, redbean cheesecake….wahh, like ate lot of food, esp. deserts, but gd thing went there as a grp so can share and try so many dishes…yum yum =)

Just got back frm cycling again~ yayyyyyyy~ todae was fun~

Cycled to chinese gardens, the park is really nice, but too bad tiga doggie not allowed inside….bicycles also not allowed, kaoz…so unfriendly park, thot parks are meant for pple to enjoy and wads wrong wif cycling in a park…anws, we cycled outside the park and got connected to another park…

Cycled until the end, then realised we reached tamah jurong superbowl…so went to dabao dinner… coz wif tiga doggie can’t sit down & eat there…lots of nice food there…yong tau foo looks gd, but veri inconvenient to dabao…there’s this yummy chicken wings rice, very worth it also, $2.50 and they haf a bit of coleslaw, 2 drumsticks & 2 chicken wings, am not a fan of chicken wings, and usually don’t eat chicken wings at all, but this stall’s chicken wing is really nice, coz I ate 1 drumstick & 1 chicken wing…haas…

my dad picked a nice spot by the lake….so we parked our bicycles, and sat on a bench, facing the lake and golf course, and munched on our food, nice!…tiga doggie was too busy eyeing our food, tt he missed out on the view…haas…

on the way back, stopped by imm to buy honeydew sago bubble tea…the clementi one closed down…so had to detour to imm….but worth the detour…cycling trip never feels complete without bubble tea =)

Back frm cycling again~ childhood fav hobby & still is....

Had ost training todae….but decided not to go…shoot me…shd haf gone…but din wanna go alone…pple like rosemary & yunru would agree tt yea I’m not veri independent, coz I always make them do things wif me, haas…okok…guilt-ridden, really shd haf gone…nvm, nxt training is sat…

Went swimming instead…long time since I last swam, excluding the play play swim sessions during training, its been almost a year since I last swam…brings back fond memories seeing children having swimming training…definitely one of my regrets in life to quit competitive swimming, though I wasn’t the one who made tt decision, argh…those were the fun times, even had swimming camps where we would swim 3 times a day, having to bathe at least 3 times a day, barbequing dinner by the pool, going to play some laser shooting game, din noe wad tt game’s called, but it was damn fun, and the laser gun was damn heavy, making it super diff to run around with the laser gun…everytime I see children having swimming training, can’t help but look on wif envy…also the reason why I like watching swimming competitions…

same for gymnastics…yet another regret in life…todae's newspaper toked abt gymnastics...argh, always makes me tink back to tt silly mistake of quiting coz of an ankle prob, back then it was realli quite bad, a few mins in aircon can kill, but now my ankle is total opp, will not be sprain no matter wad...but those are probably the onli fun times i remember frm pri sch...doing cartwheels, fav handstands, trying to jump over as high the board as possible, using the sofa at home to practise jumping over :), getting to stand on top of a mini pyramid b4 i became too heavy & had to be one of the bases, doing those 2 person forwardrolls...those days were realli fun...

okaes, enuf of regrets....Time waits for no man…live the life u wan…

Nitex~

Byebye hall…moved out after last paper todae…

And I juz gt back frm cycling!~ =)

Cycling wif fat little tiga doggie in my bike’s basket…cycling along the canal…enjoying the peacefulness….and the breeze… =)

Next up, cycling on 1st May wif my family…gonna explore cycling beyond jurong east…yay!~ at long last, we’re gonna haf a longer cycling trip…looking forward to it~

Finally, exams ended….dun dare to look at my results for this sem…tink its gonna be real bad…almost all subj are 40-50% coursework…& my projects & quizzes were quite bad this sem…exams were worse…

started off with 202 (transfer pricing qn super long, but I onli wrote a bit, din even tok abt the diff transfer pricing methods, argghhhh…..2nd qn was on incentives, but like nv really learn tt topic, so juz anyhow crap a bit….3rd qn was game theory, my fav topic, but I gt stunned, confused over higher bid or lower bid win, shucks, dunnoe whether payoffs correct anot)…

then the 3 consecutive days of exams (afternoon, morn, morn)….shagg…bf307 come out so many qns on the rules for margin requirements, I purposely skipped tt part!! Thinking tt rules not veri impt, argghhhh….then muz justify ans, dunnoe wad to write…favourite topic of binomial model came out, but I freaking shit press calculator wrongly, then the binomial tree cannot recombine!! But I noe the formula, shucks, shd haf juz written down the formula, waste 15marks for nth!! My fav topic & the onli topic tt I’m sure of…sighs….big big disappointment….

201 gt tax again, thot tax over liao, 201 still gt deferred tax….but I skipped tt whole part….didn’t even attempt, coz no time, & I dunnoe how to do, so take super long to figure out, so I juz skip first, in the end also no time to come back….bye to 20 plus marks for qn 3...& gt no time to finish the paper….the customer loyalty programme for last qn, last topic tt I looked at b4 sleeping the nite b4 exam, but no time to write finish, arrghhhhhh…..

205 was like shit, I tink can whole paper out of point!!! How how….damn scared for 205…couldn’t identify enough risk events, and the risk events I identify also not specific to the case, didn’t write abt corporate governance at all, when everyone like toking abt tt, dunnoe wad sound practices the qn asking for, dunnoe how to identify the weaknesses & strengths, I juz anyhow write something….arghhhh….damn screwed….

Then finally 213 todae…took 1 hr juz to draw the flowcharts, then started panicking coz no time for the remaining 3 qns…din noe how to draw the rea model for expenditure cycle, onli read abt the revenue cycle, so I juz copied the rea model & tables frm the textbook, hope can use, anw didn’t have time to think….onli left less than 1 hr for 3 qns….didn’t complete, didn’t write any threats for the revenue & expenditure cycle at all, even though juz need to copy from the tb, argghhhh….& I freaking shit forgot all abt implementation, even though I spent quite long on tt topic, totally forgt abt testing, user involvement, etc….argghhhh, whole last qn out of point liao….din noe wad advice for outsourcing they wan!!! 10marks left blanks….shucks….

Shucks…so freaking screwed….its not onli one but all also so bad…doesn’t help tt my coursework is also bad for this sem…shucks…dun wanna noe my results….hope it’ll be ok….pls pls…but I seriously doubt so….how……..& 214 I tink can get F already…sighs….if the prof is nice, maybe she’ll gimme a C at most….sighs….

oh yar...and i bathe 5 times todae!!

b4 training
after training b4 golf
after golf
b4 go lixian's party
after run

haas....waste water...

Whacked abt 80 balls at SICC golf range after training todae…yea, right after training…my dad’s quite insane….

Almost 1 yr since I last played golf. Revived love for golf.

Surprisingly, I could still play. Started off with 7 iron, 5 wood, 5 iron….then I khopped my dad’s “like iron” wood. I like that “like iron” wood. Somehow, tt’s the only club that I can hit and feel so shuang, especially when hear the sound of nice connection with the golf ball, and then feel that it’s a gd shot. Yay!~

And I could still hit 120m. But in pri 6, could hit 150m quite easily. Gahhhh, last time had better feel, could connect and transfer power to the golf ball more naturally. Oh wells, come jul when turn 21, will not be able to use the club membership to play golf liao. Hmmm…maybe shall go play on actual golf course after exams and b4 trainings start….

Went to lixian’s 21st party todae. Hope she enjoyed herself. She’s really quite a strong girl, after all tt she’s been thru. Always hear her “lai-ah” during trainings, sometimes when running or even while studying, that “lai-ah” will play in my mind. Hope she stays happy & strong. I believe she will.

Sianzzz…201 report in such a mess, see already dun feel like doing…argh, better start…

Last land.

Didn’t realised it until gekling told me. And then it hit me. Heart. But it’s a trade-off. No regrets.

A great one todae.

I’m so happy for my buddy. 13.16 she did for 2.4. Well done buddy.

And todae I managed to up weights. Like finally. Its been stagnant for weeks. Demoralising. But todae, it juz came. 1st set 10kg. 2nd set 11kg. 3rd set 12kg. Yay!~

Tabatta’s gd too. Short & effective.

Trainings getting better. No more rockbottom. Phoenix is gg up.

Heart. Let it be a gd one. No regrets.

And liting is making me so excited abt gip china. Haas. To Mongolia to ride horses & carmels, to Harbin, etc. I can’t wait.

Heart.

NAF closing todae. I think it was very well done. The location was very good, no worries of lack of crowd, didn’t cross my mind before to haf event at linkway. The concept was also quite good, displaying info abt NAF history and events, and I liked the art displays. Another good idea was making pple answer a simple qn before giving them the free goodie bag, like that we don’t give out free goodie bag for no reason. Even if they got the ans wrong, at least pple will realise what does naf stand for, whats the theme of naf or how long naf has been around.

Yup yup, I feel that this year’s naf is really very good. Opening ceremony was good (especially the grand opening), vday carnival was gd too (with the costume photoshoot idea, onli prob is not enuf publicity), closing ceremony was gd too, all good. But but this year naf so much more xiong, 3 times of 2 day events, creating 3 weeks of sleep havoc in a 13wk sem. No more naf, muz keep myself far far away frm cac nxt year. Though its quite fun, not onli the biz mag part but also in helping out with event day itself, but too much commitment required. But still I tink I’ll miss the fun.

Hate it when the tables in the seminar room are arranged into groups. Go too early, sit at a group of table, and no one else will sit at the same table. Go too late, dunnoe which table I can sit, everybody sitting with their frens in groups. Oh wells, am such a loner in class. Loners like me prefer arrangement of long rows of table so that loner don’t stand out so much. Sighs…dun really care…used to it…

It’s back again, freaks. go away!!!

Did smth I shd nv have done…booo… this will nv happen again…its all in the mind…whether u wan it anot…everyone’s pushing so hard…u haf to conquer those thoughts…

Come on, where’s the fighting spirit?

It starts right NOW

Realli needa start sorting things out….haiz….

Okok, everyone’s gg thru the same, so I shan’t complain abt it….still surviving, after 32 hrs of no slp (except for zzz in class) & surviving without lunch & dinner (amazingly conquered the hunger), but luckily there’s still the toast machine when everything else is closed! But soyabean sold out from 2 machines, argh, too lazy to find a 3rd machine…anw, am surviving, I juz needa hear the alarm tmr morn….

Juz got back & I haven prepare script for tmr’s presentation….haiz…neither have I touched 205 project since last meeting…okaes, one by one, bit by bit, it’ll be ok….I juz needa prep the script & faster go zzzzz, tmr morn gt presentation, cannot afford not to hear the alarm….always major oversleep if the night b4 din zzz, but but tmr I’ll hear the alarm…it’s a must….

Can't help but feel irritated, when u're so worried abt ure presentation and projects and pple can be happily joking away, not tt there's anything wrong wif tt, the wrong's in me....but i tried not to spoil the mood...afterall, it's my own fault everything's in such a mess now....

I slept at ard 7.30pm last nite!! And I only awoke to my alarm clock at 7.15am. Heng I remembered to set alarm b4 dozing off. It was an unintentional extremely long sleep, tink I was too tired frm tue nite's no slp chiong IT project, I fell asleep b4 collecting my washed clothes frm the washing machine, & someone dumped it into a paper bag on the floor, argh! Either the person din see my pail there or is juz plain irritating to dump my clean clothes in a dirty paper bag on the floor….

But I was still tired by the 2nd class at 10.30am….haas, am such a pig…could barely type properly after lunch, so I went to zzzz again for abt 2hrs….haha…shucks, I need to learn to survive sleeping less…

Anyways, was in a quite gd mood this evening, coz I managed to sort out tmr’s 201 presentation before training, thks to pok’s ans otherwise it was quite a headache trying to figure out what is going on. Shucks, I tink I’m really damn stupid, I didn’t even know how to start answering the qn. Shucks, my studies is like damn screwed up now. Really needa start catching up wif my studies, it's march already, but first gotta settle all the projects stuff first.

Todae we had long and slow team run, okaes not really that long and slow, I thought we would have continued running towards biological sci slope instead of turning into near hall 16, and that was one long slope, but the pace up the slope was rather slow. The juniors really improved a lot, and my buddy too, though she’s still haven fully recover frm her flu/cough, she didn’t lag at all. Good job buddy.

My rowing still suxs, the top arm bending bad habit is back again and I juz saw for myself and realised how bad it is…argghhh….will try to keep it straight, but its quite hard, still dunnoe how to use the back shoulder muscle for punching in, i cannot feel the power of using back shoulder muscle for punching in, helps, damn sucky…argghh…for now, I juz wan my left shoulder to pls pls recover back fast….this wk nv really do weights training but still the damn lousy shoulder is hurting again, damn irritating….ok, still gt 1 more day to recover back, it’ll be ok by sat race, really hope so…really hope we can win a medal...if can, it’ll be my very very first…

Stoning…

After all the mad rush for the past few days….haiz…nth seems to be fine…really needa stop screwing up all my presentations & quizzes…& I needa stop sleeping during class…arghhh….

I got a new lappie, at long last. =) My old laptop was quite useless, couldn’t connect to wireless and couldn’t operate without power plug, so always cannot bring my laptop for project meetings. Luckily got my new lappie, so can mad rush IT last night camping over in school.

After the mad rush ended juz an hr ago, am feeling rather lost…needa reorganise…for tonite, I guess I juz wanna read 202 project for tmr & sleep early, wake up early and be early for class tmr…always have problem hearing the alarm the next morning if the night before I didn’t sleep…quite scary, I’ll hear the alarm tmr morn…

Race this weekend…Sooo fast…mixed feelings…excited yet worried…tough opponents…

Todae’s not a bad day afterall…..

3 project meetings + training, but meeting were all short ones =)

IT project meeting with prof did help clarify some doubts abt the flowchart. But our IT project is quite a mess, and far far far from completion, yet the deadline is in 1 wk time!! Shucks, I haven’t done enuf for IT project. My IT grp too nice already, so I always do other projects first, this is damn bad…Argh, I’ll do smth tonite.

Had 202 meeting, luckily I was quite early and the grp came late, so had some time to think abt the case and prepare. But I only stayed for an hr, then had to leave for training, oops am such a bad grp member, but they didn’t want to meet earlier. I had yummy belgian chocolate ice blended! Really helped me concentrate.

Time seemed to pass especially fast during training today. Sometimes the feeling’s there, but sometimes I just can’t seem to find back that feeling. Argh! Finally managed to feel it at the last bit, when doing the 300m sets, but still the motion not smooth, super jerky, shucks…

Ate macs during 205 meeting. And I ate the whole meal!! I was quite hungry, haha. Shucks, super unhealthy. I shdn’t have eaten macs, tend to give me the headaches I dunnoe why, maybe too much msg. Wasn’t really prepared for 205 meeting, argh, still haven’t got much clue how to solve the qn.....

Shucks, gave in to temptations to watch tv!!

Haiz, freaking hate it when pple keep pressing me…pls lar, I will do my part!! I am NOT a free rider!!...freaking shit…haiz...why why why…pple always tink tt way of me…haiz…internship screw up becoz of tt, project mates also tink I liddat…haiz…why!?!?! I am not liddat!!!....haiz….ok, I really gotta come up with some solid analysis for tmr project discussion. haizzzzz…I foresee getting zero for peer evaluation….wadever…I am already so freaking screwed….haizzzzzz…maybe u r right, I haven done much, but I am doing it now!!! And the project just started can….haizzz…=(=(=(=( why issit I can’t seem to get along with anyone, except old frens…haizzzzz….

Didn’t get E&Y internship =( Haiz....Never doing anything right, my last 2 internships I also screw it up. Haiz, this is sooo bad, don’t know how I’ll survive in future. Haiz, so worrying….

Anyway just got scolded by my dad…Haiz, every scolding always ends up pointing to db training...haiz...i will study, i really want to…it’s not the training that’s affecting my studies, it’s my own procrastination, laziness, lack of drive...haiz…

And it’s freaking hurting again...freaking irritated…can u be stronger anot...

Haiz…want to catch up with my studies also cannot…every day project, project and still project…haiz…I haven’t even study for the damn quiz can….haiz…

Haiz…can’t concentrate…juz spent 2 hrs staring at the 214 teknosport case, tinking how to write the sensitive message…haiz…now I staring at the 202 case my group discussing tmr...staring but still on the same page…haiz…

Life suxs lar…nono, I’m the one who suxs…

Liddat how to survive when graduate…haiz…future’s bleak…highly irritated low mood….booooooooooooooooo….

Doomed already larrr.....

No way near completion for tmr's project and tutorial case discussion.....shucks....

Yay!~ It’s Recess Week!! =)

But then again, there’s so many projects to deal with!! =S

Yest had 2.4km evaluation. The team’s improvement is really wow!! Almost everyone was running under slightly over 12 mins. It’s not only a few individuals, but really the whole team has improved a lot except for only a few, like 3 pple only!!

Not as smooth as the last evaluation for me though. Timing was ok, but still worse than the previous evaluation by around 20 seconds. I was practically trying to catch my breath throughout the run!! Arggghhh, it was quite a painful run!! I dunnoe why…but even only at the middle of the first round, I already started being very breathless and panting madly ….was quite irritated by my own breathing, but couldn’t control it!!!....maybe because it’s been a long time since I went ost running….better start running more!!

Rejected……

I didn’t get INSTEP =(



Sad…

I wanna go exchange!! Only hope left is GIP. Please please…….

Still typing the GIP application. Arghh....struggling to write the about myself essay....Shucks, i dunnoe....what do i realli noe abt myself tt is not negative?? argghhhhhhhhhhhh.......helpsssssss.......

I am always sleepy, can sleep anywhere, anytime....I like to cycle, like to travel, like to go for camps, like to explore new places, like to exercise....I like to go through challenges, and experience the satisfaction of achievement from overcoming challenges......I'm not very patient, get bored easily....I suck at communications, usually can't think of what to say, and I especially sux at consoling pple....I like to be alone at times, but I like being around people also...I used to be a perfectionist, used to be very motivated, used to chiong for everything, used to like being very meticulous, but i'm getting worse and worse.....arggghhhh.....wad to write man!?!?

Feels so nice to have the afternoon freeeee!!! Yay!~ Loves wed afternoons, that’s if there’s no project meeting…..

Screwed my 205 quiz….=(….Actually risk is really quite an interesting subject, and I want to do internship related to risk advisory work….BUT lacking motivation to study….last nite fell asleep after training, even before 1am…argghhhhhh…..so I spent like onli 2 hours this morn trying to study before class….Dun even think I can pass the freaking quiz =(

Feel like there’s suddenly so much things to do…201 and 202 project recently released…presentations and stuff coming up….arrrghhhhh…..gd thing next week is recess wk!!!

Hate to have face-to-face project meetings after training!!! Must be on both sat & sun somemore…Arggghhhhh.....Always feel like zzzzz after weekend training. Think its becoz of the sun. Can even doze off while reading the newspapers or using the com after training, and my dad always like to tease me for that…….booooooo……dun wan haf project meeting after training…..dunwandunwandunwandunwandunwandunwan

2.4km evaluation tmr!! Sooooo deaddd....Haven't been running much these days...stamina really dropped a lot liao....shall aim 2 min per round....hopefully can last, arghhh realli hopefully...shucks, so unprepared....

TGIF!! Its been one long week….

Sleep is such a precious thing. Been deprived of sleep this whole week. And sleeping throughout almost all my lessons =(

Last sun whole nite spent chioning BF307 graded assignment, but still couldn’t finish on time. Had to forego Shangri-La lunch buffet on Mon, booooooo, the yummy sushi. Mon nite fell asleep from 7pm to 7am, hahax, I woke up in a shock, wanted to run wif teddy but didn’t hear the alarm at 10pm. Tue nite busy wif NAF preparations, but still managed to sleep 4 hrs before doing morning duty. Wed nite spent doing naf decorations, actually I wanted to and really needed to do my presentations and tutorials, but haiz. Anws I survived 41 hours without sleep, but actually I felt rather awake, except during lessons. Went out for nice dinner with the team just outside school, and got back quite late and straight away knocked out, lucky teddy gave me morning call on Fri, so could finally sleep peacefully on Thur nite without having to worry that I might miss the alarm.

Realised that I haven’t blogged about my CNY celebrations yet. Fun-filled 4 days, despite worrying for BF307 graded assignment. Reunion dinner this year was quiet, no nana, no uncles & cousins, I soooo miss those days of large family gathering, it’ll never be the same again, will it?

During cny break, I watched the whole 6 discs of Twenty-four, nice movie!! I like action-packed, mysterious, detectives-like, and war- like movies.

Went out cycling twice. Cycled to west coast park and my dad found this nice spot near the shore, where can see all the small boats parked, and hear the waves =) Riding on our bikes, we bought mac ice-cream using drive-thru =) Sat afternoon, went out cycling again to pandan reservoir and jurong east.

This year collected a lot of Hongbaos!!

Visiting only began on Sat, went to uncle kim’s house. Huimin’s son is really damn heavy. He’s only 18mths but already 14kg, I was a bit struggling to carry him =X…

Sun was one full day of visiting. In the morning, went to lao yi’s place, i.e. my mum’s ahyi’s place, saw ah gong and ah ma and my ahyis and cousins who I see only once a year. Gu gu, so so and da so so came in the afternoon. My sis and I managed to persuade da so so to bring us to visit nana!!! So happy!!! Nana, I really missed you. You are the person I respect and love most. No one can ever replace you in my heart. It was such a great relief to see my nana. I hope you can be happy. I really want to visit nana every weekend, but trainings, projects and schwork is really tying me down. =(

I’m lagging so much in my school work and projects…So much that I dunnoe where to even start =( Next week, got 205 quiz, 205 project interview, 214 quiz, 202 project discussion, 213 project interview. Shall get started with my overdue 213 assigment now, supposed to submit this morning, but…. Okaes, I better stop blogging & start 213 assignment now!!! I will complete and submit by tonight!!

Reminder to self:
Things to do this weekend (in order of importance) –> GIP application, 213 project, 202 project, 205 project………..


haiz, I feel so screwed up…..

I should just shut up and stay away don’t feel like dealing with it trying to ignore it but can’t going back

I wanna go home now!!! Waiting & waiting for my mum to come pick me frm hall….

I woke up at 11.30am just now….hahax….I’m such a pig…But so long nv sleep until so shuang already...

Finally folded my clothes neatly and put them all nicely into the cupboard. =) Now my hall room is super neat, only thing left is the dusty floor. But I’m too lazy to mop it, especially when my upper body is aching frm yest training…too long nv do canoe twist and the 2 mins stations…

Last night, went for naf meeting. Sighs…I’ll survive nxt week, somehow...At least angela was kind enough to allow me to go for thur lessons...shhhhhh...supposed to be compulsory muz pon lesson...main duty suppose to be at 12.30 but 228a not allowed to pon any lessons, and muz wear formal also...I dun mind doing overnight duty instead...

Have been in a holiday mood ever since the cancellation of 201 quiz yesterday. All I’ve been thinking of is playing and having fun during this 4 day cny holiday…I wanna go madness cycling, like cycle 2-3 times a day, cycle far far!! (My parents dun allow me to go nite cycling wif qianyi & taychuan! Argh!! I wan gooo!!) I also wanna go running wif my tiga doggie, time to make him and I lose weight!!

But there is still the BF307 maddness to do...need to submit at least 20 pgs of handwritten summary per chapter, for 6 chaps on mon!! Crap lar, I haven’t even done 1 pg of summary yet…20 * 6 = 120 pgs over 4 days…Argh!!!

Still waiting & waiting for my mum to come pick me!!!....Borredddd & hungrryyyy!!!

~ Happy Chinese New Year to All!!! ~

201 quiz postponed!!~ Yay!!~ Am soooo relieved that 201 quiz has been postponed!! =) Apparently there was double booking of the LT, and there was another class having lecture. Isn’t such booking of LT very standardized every semester? And shouldn’t such bookings have already been made at the beginning of the semester? Oh wells, I glad there was a clash of venue, so that 201 quiz can be postponed. Only started piaing 201 last nite, without having previously read nor done the tutorials. Was really in battle zone mode frm 7.30-9.30pm last night, which was quite funny at hindsight, probably the most serious studying time I had since the start of this semester, but still have lotsa stuff haven’t read and understand yet.

Finally bought the slippers that I have been long eyeing for!! Looks very comfy, but it gives me blisters. I got fat feet, argh! =( Maybe my feet just some time to adjust to the shoes and the shoes need some time to be seasoned. Now I can don’t always have to wear shoes to sch already! Yay!~

I’ve long given up the hope of being able to row in THE boat, for my strokes are really very bad and the no. of mistakes with my stroke is just too many to list. All I aim for is to improve my stroke and to be able to get to row and fight with the team in any race, and not always be a reserve and on-looker on the shore. But thanks pang and teddy for having so much faith in me. I really wanna row well to get to row in the finals of any race with the team. Would really like to aim for 1 medal this sem, even just one will do, any colour will do. That’s how desperate I am! I just wanna be able to keep a medal from DB. And this sem may well be my last sem in DB, if can get GIP, which I really hope I can get GIP.

Okaes…better stop blogging already and do smth constructive.
