Finally, a first. I was actually early for the IFA lecture yesterday! =))
Woke up early to study for the FIT surprise "test", only to realise during tutorial that the "test"'s an open-book test. Uh, right. And of all topics...
FIT's still pretty much a blur to me. Perhaps, I should take comfort in the fact that there aren't any common test for that.
BLAW tutorial was outrageous. The tutor seemed kind of exasperated, and very impatient. Her that "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" statement pretty much took the last straw. I was irritated, honest to honest.
See what me and Stephie did during BLAW tutorial... we were like scribbling on a piece of paper:
red's stephie.
"are you bored or are you bored?! siao.
Oi! =P
0_o" faints
stop fainting ok
Diao bishbash
this is not a msn, emoco will not appear! u know i noe can liao"
and that was the end of it. Ah, see how boredom drives people to do stupid things like that. Lol. This is a crazy side of our group la... It was so funny when I tried out on of our routines on Jen on Monday, by talking to her on msn when she's just right beside me. And she cast me a "watehelludoing" look and appeared totally lost. Hehe...
We had an hour to spare and went to the library. SJ went a lil' cranky again. We were discussing my nail polish, with all that shimmery stuff on it. Forward to the part where she gave her on tip on how to apply those shimmery stuff on. Her brilliant idea, not word for word, "You sprinkle on those shimmery thing (or is it throw it in the air?) and then you reach your foot out and try to let it land on your toenails." OHMYGAWD. Lol.
And I was wearing this Gio T-shirt yesterday, where they had all the hand-sign thingy for a couple of alphabets. Elaine was so eager to sign her name to Sherlin, who didn't even give a hoot. That was so Lol, you had to be there to know what I'm talking about here.
Ok, that's all for now. Bye.
My weekend was burnt, again. Cousins were over at my place on Saturday, so I didn't touch my tutorials till late at night, and IFA almost killed me, and in turn, I flooded Stephie with questions again. If people had homework saviours online, she'd be mine. Haha...
Sunday, more than half the day spent on tutorials. Till at last I decided I was too brain-dead to continue and ended up watching television. All the way till 9.30p.m? That was when Singapore Idol ended. After watching the show, I realised that there was another contestant which may be someone I know. Not my friend. Just another friend's friend.
Today, I shall confine tv-hour to only 1, for Desperate Housewives.
After today, I will bid Popular Culture goodbye. -heaves a sigh of relief-
Frankly, that IS module has been giving me all my nightmares, nevermind that the other core modules were too. CORE modules were compulsory, it was inevitable. BUT, why on earth such tough projects too for IS? Consequently, it has made me swear off Mr Brown's
FOREVER, not that I was a fan to start with, but ya, you get my drift.
And Popular Culture projects are always done on Monday mornings before the presentation, and last-minute work for presentations just suck. Last-minute tutorials aren't even half as bad as last-minute presentation preparation.
Nuff' said about that.
I'll be off. This dumpling I'm eating for breakfast makes me wanna puke.
Mental note to self : Remind aunt not to buy dumplings from the same place ever again.
Today, met up with Stephie for COST e-tutorial at 9am. -Thank you Stephie!-
And was supposed to do BLAW project after that. But, after a while, we slacked off and talked and friendster-ed instead. =s
Can't even find that darn article at all.
Then, 2 hour FIT lecture, which I wasn't listening to at all. And project again after lecture. -Faints-
I swear all those brain juices in my matter have been squeezed dry.
Hallelujah. Sat's common test already, and I've still got tons of tutorials undone!
Night night.
Outside the Breadtok store at J8 today, foam was sputtering out from the ground. Sorta drain-like, that area, but it sure was a sight. I couldn't stop giggling at the sight. It really was quite funny. Imagine 2 guards standing around that pool of foam, busy yakking away on their walkie-talkies and looking helpless at the same time. Ok, maybe I was just being silly. But it was really interesting. And the foam just keeps sputtering out like lava from a mini volcano!
On the other hand, my imagination starting running wild:
Like how other mini volcanoes like this start sprouting out from everywhere in J8. How the whole of J8 might just sink into oblivion when the tiles start flying all over from the impact of the sputtering of foam.It was raining heavily at that time. I guess I have to attribute that nonsense I was imaging to Poseidon. Hahahaha...
Things sure have a way of working themselves out. I was just grumbling about going to J8 today when I'm going there again tomorrow with Celia. Well, what do you know, tomorrow's outing's cancelled! On the down-side, that'd probably mean that I would again miss another cartoon movie. I shan't be too happy anticipating stuff that hasn't happened ever again. Too many times I've been proven that doing just that might just be why nothing ever turns out the way I want it to.
I was miraculously early for once today (not late, nor on the dot). But after Sher and Lain got separated from me and BY after we went to the washroom, I turned up in class a minute late again, I think.
The BLAW e-tutorial was lapsed by 56 hours ++. Haha. That's unbelieveable. And goodie goodie, no COST tomorrow!
Popular Culture's just a horrendous nightmare.
Today, was as usual, late for lecture again.
3 hour break spent trying to shrink the whole topic of Misrepresentation into 100 words. Nice.
Sher sher sher, we're waiting to hear something better than what you told us in the library this afternoon~
FIT was terrible. She sounded like she was muttering some alien language in class, and I was too switched off too. Nonetheless, dinner outside with family was good. And I got a new gadget! I was a happy little girl for a moment, minus the heartbreak I felt when I saw the money exchanged hands (electronically that is, and not cold hard cash).
There's
nothing like Desperate Houswives. My wondrous, perfect remedy for Monday blues.
Why must common tests be before our 2 week break. This sem's modules are killers, and everything's not looking good.
Went to East Coast for dinner last night. Had all the high-cholestrol stuff like bbq-ed stuff. It was really warm. But nonetheless, the good food made up for it!
Yesterday at lunch, the topic of BGRs came up again. I got pretty irritated to be honest. And what joy when you're told to go "hunt" for one, when no one's even interested. Impeccable timing. Ha. Ha.
It is so not funny. I just have this occassional urge to go against everything and everyone and be a real meanie. But then again, the consequence of breaking loose and to create mayhem would be too great a price to pay.
In the evening, on our way to my aunt's, there was this discussion in the car about sex. Daddy tried to explain stuff. Unfortunately, he likes to talk in circles, and I'm pretty much in my own world. I didn't really get his point. The same thing happened on our way back home.I was just completely lost, and mum had to translate what he meant to me.
She nearly fainted.
A small excerpt:
Daddy (upon sighting a Toyota Wish car): (sings)make a wish, make a wish~
Mummy: Make a wish died already la. Vic Chou's not even famous anymore...
Daddy:But he now lian2 shen1 gui4 zi3 already la. (lian shen gui zi's sth you wish a newly married couple) You know the woman in Da Chang Jin? That one, that one~~~ the one who became a lady.... Chang Jin's friend.
Me: Oh, that lian sheng ah?
Daddy: Ah, ya la ya la! Vic Chou's acting with her in a new show.
Me: Oh is it? Eh, so what is the lian shen gui zi thing about? Like no connection leh...
Daddy: (Yadda yadda, trying to explain by repeating everything again...)
Me: [Silence]
I mean like, huh???? Haha, and then mummy also tried explaining. I didn't get it. But I just muttered "ok" and said I got it. I think it was supposed to be some weird connection he was trying to make with the words "lian shen" la.
Today on the bus, I saw this plus-size woman who was listening to her mp3. She was literally singing, (mute), and touching her hair.... I mean, it looked pretty weird la, but it seemed to me that she'd be imagining herself to be a lead lady in a MTV or something. I was rudely staring for a while =s But because I was seated far away from her, I don't think she noticed. I think she'd be too busy and be oblivious to all the weird stares she got.
Today school was ok. As usual, this slowcoach was late again la. Despite setting out a tad bit earlier, I was still 3 min late for lecture.
The aunty at the yong tau foo stall gave me so much mifen. And I took 2 ladyfingers, which proved to be a bit too much. Got pretty sick of it... the hotdogs were nice though. Haha...
The idea of going on the HK trip is pretty exciting. I hope it won't be a bummer again.
Today, I purposely set out earlier. I think what I wrote in Stephie's bday card was really quite funny. Lol.
The bus was packed, to the extent that us commuters became somewhat like molecules vibrating beside each other in a solid matter. I was greatly bemused when I saw someone doing makeup on the bus la. Eyeliner..it was a miracle she didn't end up with a black scar streaked across the face.
And I met Fang on the bus! Haha, but that was just before we alighted from the bus la. Everytime I meet her, her present's not with me.
TAX tutorial presentation today, so-so.
Piano was ok~ today. The running notes, apparently, were not as difficult as I thought it'd be. There's a repetitive pattern to it, and I LOVE patterns. Lol, from long ago, I'd always thought the patterns in math question were fun! Haha.
Ok, I can't think of what to blog anymore. =s
-ohyahappybirthdayagainSbefore12amcomesaround- lol
I need to blog because TAX is so taxing it throws me off-track la.
Anyway, today at Kovan, I saw this couple I met at the bus-stop at AMK busstop yesterday. And yesterday at the AMK busstop as well, I saw this guy I saw while on the bus to school yesterday morning. Talk about coincidences. But then, why is it that you'll NEVER run into someone you want to see.
TAX TAX TAX.
Joyitty Joy.
Millenia Walk for Popular Culture class yesterday. Went to do the required stuff and eventually ended up at Yoshi's for lunch, and a really long chat. Got to know each other loads better, and am glad to say I've got really nice people in the group. =) Jen and I were like yawning at the same time on the way back to school, and it went on for quite a few times throughout the journey. I felt a little sick from the long bus ride. =s
I finally got to talk to this Esther girl from Jap class. We were in the same class last semester, and she didn't even know I existed. I guess that happens all the time, like how Eugene doesn't even know what my name is, up till today. So much for being tutorial mates. People just don't care about what's going on around la, though most are very much updated about the new gadgets. But then again, who has time to slow down and look at all the flowers and bees around. All the trees lined along the roads, do you even care if they wither or if they're bearing fruit? The only time they ever got your few minutes of attention would probably be when they are fallen by strong winds/ rains and become obstacles on the road.
Ok, I digressed.
Late for lecture, by a few minutes today.
As usual, drove Stephie nuts with my stupid questions and messed her mind up.
Today's FIT, very interesting.
I don't know how to put it across. But it felt like we were having a real discussion, and I actually felt like I WAS thinking, like really use my matter to think. Lol~ Ahhh, sounds stupid...
And, guess what. I left my tutorials all at home today, though I brought along my required notes. How fantabulous.

SPU yesterday was much dreaded, seeing how the weather yesterday was just fit for a nice sleep-in. When the weather gets uber hot, the 151s are always non air-conditioned. Ironically, along came this air-conditioned 151 yesterday when it rained, and I was freezing throughout the bus journey.
It gets pretty stressful playing alongside Mel, I don't know why. Particularly so when we did Jazz Variants yesterday, this amateur struggled to get her rhythms right, and Mel played hers like she didn't even need to think or something. It felt hot at the studio, though it was air-conditioned, and I kindly attribute that to high-level stress resulting in me breaking out in cold sweat. Even so, it felt quite good. Minus Mel and all that me feeling inferior thing, I do quite enjoy practices. It just feels good to make music together.
Still somehow, it appears that I have lost the ability to count, properly that is.
It didn't seem so tough before, trying to hit that note at where it should be...yet, it just doesn't feel so right anymore. I don't feel it.
I hope it's just because I haven't been practising, and not because I just lost IT all together.
Miraculously, after Steph invited me to start the photo blog with her, my settings have all turned into English.
Today, school ended at 1 and I waited for BY to finish her discussion for her ISP project before I left with her. I believe, in the library, I stoned like a spastic. I just realised, Vicki like to tease people, a lot. All that talk about the tummyaches and nasi lemak were beyond my comprehension. I turned dumb for a while.
Met up with Eve at J8 to go to PS. Sadly, The Wild seemed to have ended its run, coz' in both the GVs in J8 and PS, there weren't any trace of it. Dejected, we headed to Lido to try our luck for the second time. Still nothing, so we settled for Poseidon.
It's really quite like Titanic if you ask me, even though I didn't exactly watched the whole of Titanic, but I suppose that's about all you can show of a sinking ship. It was okay~ pretty thrilling and grotesque, coz' of the dead bodies and all. Bloody and wet show, that was.
Next show, a cartoon please. I've really had enough of all that gory. Someone go watch Over the Hedge with me? Cars will only be coming out in June, so that'll have to wait.
After the movie, we went shopping. And Eve bought the music thingy after I offered to buy it as a birthday present. Lol~ Anw, I'll be asking JP to chip in for that too. Haha. We got another for JP too, and Eve will share cost for hers. All those with the very nice songs have been sold out =(
I wouldn't mind one too, but I think if I really paid for one of those for myself, my heart will ache. Haha. So I didn't get that.
Instead, I got this shimmery colour pencil that cost $2. Yes, it's only $2 bucks, but my heart ached nonetheless as I struggled to find the perfect excuse to buy that pen. I hope it'll be put to good use, to ensure I wouldn't have spend for nothing.
Thereafter, it was home sweet home. And Eve made sure we turn right this time.
On the bus home though, there was this man who had a screw loose somewhere. He looked a little lost, my heart went out to him even though, somewhere deep down, I feared, that little bit, as my imaginations went wild with what could have happened.
Back home. Tv-ed the whole night away again, as usual...
I don't want to have anything to do with tutorials for now. I'll probably go catch my 40 winks soon. Sometimes, just sometimes, I still think of you. Haha... I guess I can't help being dumb and stupid and naive at times.
Yesterday on the bus on my way to school, I saw this man golfing at this open area beside the bus stop. So weird la~
Today...today on my way to school, I was on board this non air-con 74. The wind blew and my hair was messed up, and I didn't even bother trying to make it a bit neater. I think I must have looked like a mad woman or sth. Ha.
Today...also very warm like every other day. I think after the Japan trip, I became accustomed to the cool nice weather there, even if it was only for like 5 days.
IFA was a headache. And I think TAX tmr will be worse. =x
"The pleasure becomes more desirable when it is forbidden."
Yes indeed, which explains why more young females are going to get tattoos, and why the underaged sneak into pubs/bars and drink.
The forbidden fruit beckons. But, take a bite off it, and risk being poisoned, whether fatal or otherwise.
So, next time before you do something stupid to rebel/ go against your parents, PLEASE think about the irreversible consequences that comes along with that act of defiance.
BLAW is about the only module that makes sense to me now.
whywhywhy popular culture of all modules. i need help.
When the results of the GE were out yesterday, I got pretty high. I had like 9 active msn windows at that time, and speculations flew everywhere. It was a bit mad la, and 3 tv sets were on, (1 in aunt's room, 1 in mine and another in my grandma's). Didn't know Gramps was watching until it ended and she came out for a drink. Lol~
Hilarious.
Didn't nap at all, which I was supposed to after taking the meds.
This morning, I received a letter. Joyjoyjoy, for a short while. And then I came online and the cold and harsh reality of not completing any tutorials, nor the presentation for tmr, hit back. *Ouch, that hurt.*
I need drive. And some intelligence.
MC for today.
I sulked when she said I'm disallowed to go to school today, cos' I might pass my flu and fever to someone else. Ok, reasonable (I'm sorry Stephie had to experience a little of that yesterday) BUT, I will miss like 2 chapters of FIT, which is pretty disastrous, and a COST tutorial, and the musical. Good thing Celia found someone for company instead, I won't have to worry much on that accord.
So, am I subjected to makeup tutorials? I hate post-MC stuff like these, which explains why I dislike taking MCs in the first place. MCs ARE TROUBLESOME.
I can already picture the many blanks for this week's FIT tutorials. I spent like 2 hours plus on IFA before this, and it's not yet completed. HOWHOWHOW!?
THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF. I'M REALLY IRRITATED. And they had to arrange for the common tests before the break. Nice. Tell me, how am I going to make it through this hellish semester like this. I need a miracle.
I caught the flu bug, and it's really irritating, this runny nose. I turn into a frumpy old lady when the nose drips. Perfect excuse why nothing went in during tax tutorial. And no wonder my shoulder ached today. Okay, that was probably due to my heavy bag. I stupidly brought all my notes thinking I'd be able to finish quite a bit during the 3 hour break. But BLAW alone was already a killer.
I saw Lain touching her hair the whole time today. Lol~
Steph even told her to stop doing that, but I don't know if she heard her.
Daddy drove me to school today, and I waited at the fountain with my heavy bag for a while. And I ate bread for breakfast, afterbreakfastbeforelunch, and for lunch. Luckily dinner wasn't bread again. I think I drove Stephie nuts again. But I was normal during TAX, cos' of my drippy nose. Haha.
I think I will try to sleep earlier today. =x at the opportunity cost of not being able to do any tutorials. Lol~ Ok, that was pretty lame.
'Cough sniffle sniffle cough'
What am I going to do without you girls!? Haha...lovelovelove. For the record, I'm still straight. =)
School's been busy busy busy. Is the popular culture presentation like very important or what?... Not that I'm trying to put it down la, it's just a question. I don't understand that whole project, and I hope we make it in time for Monday.
MCM students really know their stuff. Really got to hand it to them...
Eh, do I appear aloof and antisocial at times? I wonder why, sometimes even I myself think so... lol. This is ironic, and stupid.
My cousin read my autograph book yesterday, and I took a look at it this morning when I woke up.
I realised that, despite leaving their contacts in that book, we haven't been contacting.
This particular friend, with whom I was classmates with from primary 1 to primary 6. We roughed it out together through those years, only to lose contact now. It's kind of sad...I hope she's well. A very intelligent girl, but a person of few words. I wonder if she's changed, be it in looks or character.
Some others... they are now those whose contacts are on my msn list, but we're not talking. =s I think it'd be kind of awkward if we start saying "hi" and "bye" and nothing else. The last primary 6 class gathering on my birthday 2 years ago really turned out funny. -shrugs-
But then, there are those, or rather, a handful (by that, I meant less than 5) like Celia and Chern Wei, whom I'm still keeping in touch with. Just the night before, I was on the phone with one of them for about 2-3 hours till 1+ am in the morning. With her, it seemed like we'll never run out of things to yak about.
And, there's this entry in the book that's filled with scans of neoprints. Unmistakeably, that had to be Linnette's. She's one the rare ones I know who just love taking photographs. Haha... her camera have been put to good use, for parties, homecoming, chalets, barbeques and yadda yadda.
Inside the book too, are all those senseless poems. My cousin read one out aloud yesterday, "Violets are red, Roses are blue, whatever so, our friendship is true" Pray tell, how can a violet ever be red, even though, yes, roses NOW can be blue. -raises eyebrows-
As I, or rather, we grow older though, this autograph book's been replaced by autograph cards instead. Before we parted ways after our O's, my clique gave out cards in stacks of 5s (we had 5 people in the group then) held together using a paperclip. I believed we gave out about 30 odd or so of those, but only less than 20 were returned. Well, 2 of those were autographs written by guys, and in all my years of education, that was the first I've got guys writing autographs for me. Haha.
That autograph book I was talking about before, only girls have written in it.
Oh wells, so much for autographs... all fond memories.......
