Hmmm.. my last post finally appeared.

Oh well... I think it had to do with the template. Guess it's better this way. Saves me the trouble of changing the blogskin of my old blog (I was getting sick of the black background)

Cya at my new place! :)

4 more posts short of the big 8-0-0. But i've moved...

Look for me @ http://purelysimple.wordpress.com

I'm still in a kind of transitional-ish state... so may still end up posting or double posting here and there. Some loose ends to wrap up to complete my memories over here. :)

I feel like moving over to wordpress... But I've had this site for years... 5 to be precise.

Let me think a bit more about this first. :)

Midst of studying for my last paper on Sat morning and the jobhunt. Taking my time, but not sure what I should apply for. Haven't exactly looked at the HR postings yet. Maybe I should start looking there soon.

From the relatively unblocked view from my room window, I can actually see the streaks of lightning instead of just flashes of it...

Study break... I can't seem to find my ethics notes. Haiz...

Hmmm... my mind is in a blank after my last presentation at SMU.

It went pretty well I think... or so I hope. And it's probably the first time in a long while that I prepared so much for a presentation and did up cue cards - insteead of writing my script out. I can't even remember when was that last time I used the cue cards...

Slowly floating back to earth... 1 more paper and 2 more exams to study for.. and I don't even know when my first exam is on. How brilliant...
So many things to blog about... I've moved, last week of school, last class in SMU...

But.. i'm still busy with school stuff... will try to retain those memories and blog them down later..

I'm preparing for my last presentation in SMU.. and it's MAJOR... Oral defense for my thesis.. May my brain be able to work at 9am tomorrow and I hope my examiners won't throw me tough questions that I can't answer.

Oh.. another reason why I'm blogging this...

Random trivial:
Just read that Jay (Chou) stayed up till 6am the night before his Taipei concert. And he was sick. Plus, right after that, he filmed 通宵 for the MV for one of his songs - i think it's 扯 - before heading over to China to do sth else.

This i gotta document... bits and pieces of undergraduate life to store and file away...

Am writing up my thesis now. Started 2 days agom still writing due ot distractions like Viwawa, erm... viwawa and more viwawa. (Check it out if you dunno what it is yet! www.viwawa.com )

Ya... and as I write, I have stacks of papers on both sides of the laptops. Most of them are journal articles... or hastily scribbled notes/outlines for particular sections... I would turn to a pile, flip through them, get some inspiration... and then continue writing... and I actually enjoy it... I like it when words flow.. but I've been stuck for the past 1 hour... I need to finish this section.. and another one... by tonight. How?

I know what to write, but not that sure how to write it. shows that I don't really read the discussion section of journal articles very carefully...

Moved house last Monday or Tuesday depending on how you look at it. The place still smells of newness... I have a prety unblocked view from my room. Neat! :) Now.. to finish the thesis so that I can unpack properly...

hmmm.. for some weird reason or other, i don't see my newest post when i visit my blog.. but I know you all have commented... so I guess as long as u all can see it, it's fine! :)

This week has gone by in a blink of an eye... Ok.. I felt that this week was so much mroe relaxing than my break week... Hurhurhur... had time to chill, do my own stuff... Maybe a normal school week is better...

The past few weeks have been busy with me running my study to collect data for my thesis, going for networking in week 8 and rushing my Wednesday presentations.

All not very good excuses for not blogging huh? What about just not feeling like? Since there is nothing very much interesting going on in my life except for school work... The job hunt is not moving very well and I don't really have the time nor mood to really start looking... and the one mega thinge... I'm moving in mid March!!!

Ok.. So I did spent a couple of days here and there packing my stuff into boxes. Well.. it's been certified. I'm a hoarder... Tons of stuff that I packed away into my cupboards, never really knowing they were there until I start digging them out.

Was supposed to go to school today.. but I decided to clear out a cupboard until I forgot the time. and then decided it was too late to go down... Heh... I found boxes of the letters we exchanges in secondary school (I have a shoe box and a test tube box full of them!) Christmas/Birthday/Festive/Just-to-say-Hi cards from beloved friends. Programme booklets of concerts I attended and the list goes on...

Packing also unearthed some of my grandmother's treasures. Scraps of clothes that she had cut into squares and triagles, so that she could painstakingly sew them into a patchwork blanket/quilt for us. Looking at old photos of me when I was a wee little tot... More photos of grandma. Miss her so much! :)

It's gonna be a somewhat hellish 3 weeks... Rush data, rush thesis, rush ethics presentation, rush packing. Best to enjoy my last sem as much as I can.

I am a psychology student. I'm writing a commentary on political leadership transitions.

The topic is interesting. A word limit of 600 doesn't get me very far even though I have different things to explore.

Busy busy busy. Preparing for thesis... running thesis, rushing presentation for Psych of reasoning... running studies. It's a vicious cycle I say.

Updates updates updates...

Well.. one week ago, I went for HIS concert!




Jay Chou!



Hahaha.. this is what seats at ROW 6 yielded! Hahaha... to be able to see him walk past you like barely one metre away and the chance to his sleeve... as that's what Yuanshan did... Yeah... just wanted to note that I was at Row 6!!!




Doesn't he look good playing the drums?

Ya... so I spent the past 1 week in lala Jay Chou land... but I'm glad to say I'm snapping out of it... After a mega Jay Chou ktv session with the gassy gals...

So... on the school front, I'm proud to say that the first draft of my Thesis study is up!!! Yep! managed to put the study on this computer programme... SO just need to troubleshoot it, make it more aesthetically pleasing and I'm ready to run my study!!! yeah!!!

Taking 3 mods makes me more slack... Or rather, it gives me the illusion that I have a lot of free time! But at least I make use of some of them to do my Ethics reading... I think Ethics is a rather 'crappable' subject... Give a company an ethical dilemma.... and then... who to consider? why should you consider this and why not that.... Principles and theories...

For Psych of Reasoning and Thinking, we have to read 1 journal article a week... and then prepare a presentation explaining the study conducted in the article. We would then be randomly picked to present the article. I was 'lucky' enough to be randomly chosen to present for the past 2 weeks liao...

Capstone has been stagnant cause we haven't had any talks yet... So now.. time to start doing some revision and what not...

Ok.. ending this post with yet another of the pics taken... I dunno whether I love my camera more or the seats I had. Hahahaha...
