No I think I am super bo liaoz... hahaha.... It is like 445 am!!! and I was like photo blogging pictures of my nice room.. I must be insane!!! Oh well.. better do it now that I got the mood or else I'll procrastinate and never post them up.. Mwahahaha... Oh.. and I put them in chronological order.. so you can just scroll down and read instead of scolling up. or rather, the latest entry is what happened first...

Now, my room is a nice hue of morning glory.. which is like kinda beige... Mwahahaha... Okiez.. that's all for now... If I'm in the mood, I'll take pics of my room now... if not.. then too bad...


My nice display cupboard... yes.. everything had to be packed up... Posted by Hello

And a picture of my messy table while I was packing... Posted by Hello

After like packing for eons... The table was almost cleared... and most of the cupboards were empty... Posted by Hello

Another empty cupboard!!! Where did everything go??? Posted by Hello

I put some of my stuff into a big box...  Posted by Hello

Hahaha.... sort of shoved quite a lot of things into the cupboards... See my Kamien is lying at the bottom together with my Music dictionary and AB guides... Mwahahaha.. Haven't touched it in a long long time... As for those I could not hide, I moved them into the living room.. and so.. erm.... Posted by Hello

My room is freaking tidy.. and clean and neat...

ShaLL post pics up soon... Of the long, ardous task of pakcing my stuff, clearing my room of bits and pieces.. and the mess I made out of the living room.. Mwahahaha... All in a bid to get my room a nice new coat of paint.. the process of which I was totally not involved cause I stayed in school trying to study democracy... (Note: trying is the keyword.. as usual)

so... my room is now spick and span with the cupboards empty, waiting for me to fill it up.. and i got a whole new layout.. as in the furnitures were rearranged... hahahah...

Hmmmm.. Just an observation... In the past, when I wanted to go out, I would ask, "Mummy, Can I go out today?"... Den my mum may come with a barrage of question like who and where I'll be going... Now, I just go.. "Mum, I'm going out later" or "I'll be going out on Sat... and I just go out...

Mwahahaha... Times have changed...

I saw Taufik and Sylvester!!! ok.. big deal.. so did like a hundred other people at SMU.... Hmmm.. paying them so much just to come here and belt out 3 songs each... Ok lar... wasn't that bad... as in I still think Taufik can sing... as for Sly, I think he has to like increase his repetoire... He sang 安静, It's my Life and He's ain't Heavy, He's my Brother... It wasn't tt bad... but ok lar... Taufik sang Me and Mrs Jones, Superstition and of course, I Dream... I think Taufik's a better performer than Sly.. but Sly seemed mor efriendly.. as in he bothered to get down and shake hands with screaming girls @ the front of the stage... (Nope.. I wasn't there...) whilst Taufik came on with shades and stuff...

however, I think it is still a waste of money.. In fact, a lot of things about Patron's Day is like 'for show' kind... I dun think that many students stayed back... A lot of people were involved... but the crowd was ok.. Not like super packed or sth... Others would rather stay at home on their free day or leave after lesosns...

Like how many people actually walked around the booths? Those who came for our lucky dip is like our own people and friends and the occassional strangers... Hmmmm... But it was also the first time I stood so close to President Nathan lar... Hmmm.. not more than half a metre...

Oh.. went Adam Road Hawker Centre and I saw Stephanie Sun... She is really really very skinny... and she is so small size... And she looked quite plain... so couldn't really recognise her...
Today's patron's day!!! yay!!!

The School is buzzing with activities, setting up of booths, big tents, and loads of food!!! Mwahahaha... Me? I'm stuck in gsr (groups study room) trying to do some research for a meeting that is gonna take place in half an hour's time.. will miss the beginning but I do hope the meeting ends early enough so that I can join in the activities later... Mwahahaha...

went for my cousin's wedding dinner yesterday... Food was not bad though it was my 1st wedding dinner in like years... Yeah... and I bet there is a longer waiting time for the next one.. cause the rest of the cousins on my father's side is like my age or younger and studying... and I doubt we'll get married tt early.. Mwahahahaa...

Hmmmm... I'm slacking my time awaaaaay... So much reading to catch up on...

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Ok... my project mates will think I'm a crazy nut who wake up at the crack of dawn to reply their emails... Mwahahaha....

School Fees have gone up!!! I think I need to get a job... an increment of $850 is quite a lot... Well, just to dispel the 'myth' that SMU undergrads are rejects from NTU or/and NUS... they have decided to charge what a premium university charges...

Ya... premium with rather useless lessons... which has assigment topics like "My Sky is in My Heart". And with profs which uses their lessons as an opportunity for their frens with extreme views to air them... it certainly provokes thinking... Hmmmm... Creativity!

Hmmm... now to shift your attention to another (of my favourite) sport.. Tennis! The Australian Open, one of the 4 Grand Slams of the tennis season started today... However, defending Australian Open Champion, Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne, a player whom I think is damn cool is not playing due to some injury...

Hahaha... nth much lar.. just looking at the live scores now... I feel that tennis is such a game that can be so unpredictable. Like players who are seeded ( ie: Players who are ranked the top 32 in the tournament based on points they received from each tournament) can be eliminated in the early rounds of the match by lessor-known opponents...
Hmmm.. watched the Singapore vs. Indonesia match live at Kallang Stadium yesterday... It was painted in red with only a small portion reserved for the white-wearing Indonesian fans... But then again, because the flags of the 2 countries are so similar, I mean you would be supporting either side if you wear red or white... Hahaha...

Anyway, shouted till my voice is kinda hoarse today, aggravating a cough I had since yesterday.. But it was fun.. Like not heart-stopping excitement or sth.. given that Singapore had like a 2 goal lead going into the final leg so if they lost it, it was like a major screw-up! I think I feel more excitement watching a Manchester United vs. Chelsea match or sth... but then again, last night was as close as I could get to any major soccer match! The bad thing about watching a match live is that there are no replays.. so if you missed the goal, well, you missed it! Heh! and there was no commentators... and since I didn't know who was who except for Agu Casmir simply because of his hair colour, I had no idea who was passing the ball to who. Hahaha.. I gotta admit I think I watched too many EPL matched... until I can sort of identify players from certain teams just be looking at their numbers or from their profile... Anyway, the Kallang wave was good... but quite out of point since you can't watch the action when the wave goes on... and because I was seating rather near the Indonesian fans, there were a few instances whereby Singaporeans were standing on the seats cause sth happened... Oh.. and not to mention spectators who think they know everything and they can play better than the players... criticizing and giving comments. What I didn't like was the fact that Singaporeans boo-ed whenever Indonesia's name was mentioned like when the starting XI was called and stuff like that.. Please show some graciousness. Or maybe it is due to the 'rivalry' before the match. However, all was over after the match when Indonesians recieved their medals to thundarous applause... :)

Hmmm.. so finally sth to show that Singapore soccer is not dead yet...

Hmmmm.. I feel as if I am going to move house... What I did today was to pack stuff from my cupboard into a big big box... What were they??? Hmmm... letters, yearbooks, my autograph book.. yes.. the one from Primary School whereby people write 'nice' stuff and particulars and stuff.. Gee... I dun think I've kept in touch with any of them... hahahaha... I dunno.. and a lot of rubbish.. Programmes from most concerts I've attended... Photos of all sorts.. Thailand, Prague, Crap photos.. and loads of letters... :)

Nope.. I'm not moving house.. but my room's gonna get a new coat of paint... hence the packing and stuff... and yeah.. a bit of re-arranging of furnitures and stuff.. my sister got sick of sleeping on the floor... she wants to upgrade to the 2nd level (ie: a double decker bed!) Mwahahaha... but I bet it'll be be another 2 or 3 weeks before everything is settled... So meanwhile, my cupboards are empty but the table is as messy as ever.. hiakz...

I feel my life is kinda void.. No.. I dun exactly need a guy.. but just that my blog is nth but work related... Like hellos? Anything more interesting thing about me???

This term has started off at a very fast pace.. I still feel as if I am like running for the bus.. or even a train... It is not that I don't understand my lessons.. but I just don't bother to do the extra readings, notes, research which I think I should do. I'm just gonna leave everthing as it is and panic when exams/tests comes.. Great! *rolls eyes*

actually I feel quite slack this weekend... Though I'm positivly sure I will have loads of things to do when I get down to counting it... Why not start now?

1) Read up on Sical Psychology. My prof's at chapter 2 or 3.. and I'm still stuck at maybe the foreword..

2) I have a BGS individual assignment that takes up 15% of my grade due next Thursday.. Now, shouldn't I like read the chapter to find out more of what it is about?

3) I should really read through my Analytical Skills book instead of just skimming through and deluding myself that I know what it is talking about because I DON'T!!!

4) Yeah.. read up about constitutions in the World for Democracy...

Throw in a soccer match on Sunday... but balance it with a supposedly free day tmr except for a meeting.. I think I can afford to slack tonight away except that it feels exceptionally weird... Like exceptionally free...

I've been rotting in school for the past 2 hours... waiting for some talk to start at 5.30.. which means I have to go soon... Ok... i admit... I judge ppl too easily and on too frivolous things... Had a meeting with my project grp today... It wasn't as bad as I thought.... and yeah.. I hope we can work together... Mwahahaha...

My Democracy prof speaks greek!!! HELp!!!!!!! I'm seriously having trouble understanding him.. and I dun think he has a good impression of the class.. or else he is just in a bad mood today...

So many things to blog about, so little time.. and everything's stuck... It's the 2nd week of school only.. yet I feel that I have been laden with so much to do... Bleahz...

Lemme see... I need to go read up on BGS, Social Psych and do my AS homework... after my talk which ends @ 6.30... so I bet I'll just go home and rot somemore on my laptop... Mwahahaha... and yeah... wad was I doing the past 2 hours I was rotting while waiting for my talk? I was... err.. on MSN... playing stupid games... and i dunno wad else... stoning i guess...

I change my layout.. or rather, just the picture since Christmas is over.. and since I have no idea what to put there, I decided that I will indulge you readers with the view of the Chocolate Fudge Cake i baked over the hols... Mwahaha...
First week of school came and went... countdown: 13 more weeks... Time flies so it'll be over before I know it... Great~!~

This reminds me I gotta change my blog layout cause it is out of point.. .Christmas'04 was over yesterday.. Yeah... after the 12 days...

Well, we are assigned our projects for the various modules... My groupings are generally ok except for one whereby there are ppl with not-so-nice histories... But then again, it's good to be drawn out of my comfort zone and experiment working with them... I seriously dun mind giving everyone a chance... :) ya right.. lame consolation... *wink*

I finally dropped CAT.. after like 1 mth plus of agonizing over it... and simply cause I've decided to be more active in some other projects... and I dun think I can cope.. Simple. Short. Sweet.

And so, On my first ever free day since I started uni, I woke up late... at about 11.. which I consder a luxury since I'm up before 9 the previous 4 days... and I just so wanted to nua at home... and after lunch, I went to fix my phone's keypad before the warrenty expired... The Nokia Care Centre at Wheelock is freaking packed!!! Bleahz.. I waited 1 and a half hours for my turn to 'complain' about my phone, and 2 hours for them to repair my phone.. At least I got it back on the same they... They should open more counters or sth.... Or maybe it is because I went after lunch.. there were like 46 ppl ahead of me in the queue?

So I went shopping... Borders, Topshop, S&K... and I got depressed... Can't find clothes I like... or those tt look good on me... sianz... and here I am, back home, blogging... I need more clothes.. and I wanna go Bugis and look at bags...

I'm in the midst of my first CAT class... It is all about excel and nth else.. The first lesson kinda boring cause he's teaching the damn basics of basics of excel like adding in toolbars and other things... but the module is not as easy as it seems.. dreading the formulas and modelling and whatever stuff tt I can't recognise... Bah!!! But no choice.. it is not a core module... I just hope they won't announce next term that it is NOT compulsary for social science students... I'll just KILL myself...

Yawn.. better pay attention.. he seems to be going on to more interesting things...

But the good thing is I can surf the net and do a lot of crap stuff legitimately as long as I don't lose him or he doesn't lose me midway... =)

I walked out to the bus stop and I realised sth... I'll be turning 20 this year!!! Ok... and so will most of the people reading this blog.. but that's not the point!!! Ok.. I dunno wad's the point... nvm....

reformatted my com... din feel any sadness at all.. but now there is a slight hitch... I can't seem to get all the IBM stuff... Like when I adjust the brightness or volume, the level does not appear on the screen.. Looks like I gotta make another trip down to the computer helpdesk tmr... Afterall, I haf like the afternoon free... But i got Office 2003 which looks quite cool... Hahaha... I shall resolve not to load too many things (read: games) into my laptop...

8.30 lesson tmr... shall sleep early and not be late and not take a cab...

I think there should be a rule that prohibit the hosts of Charity Shows to speak when artistes are doing some death-defying stunt cause I think it disrupts their concentration... I'm not exactly interested in their chattering about making calls to the donation lines and the number of opportunities in the lucky draw. I kinda dislikes these charity shows that dangles lucky draw prizes for people who donate cause I believe that donations come from the heart. The way they put it is 'Please donate so you can win a prize or get some discount coupon'. And their commercials run along the line of: "I donated and I'm the lucky recipient of a new car, or a windfall". Like do we always expect sth in return when we give.

Ok.. what a post to start off the new year. But I was just watching the tape of the "Affairs of the Heart' charity show and I really couldn't stand the hosts chattering when Tay Ping Hui was trying to walk the tightrope backwards in heels... Like just shut up lar... they went on and on about how many more minutes left before the chance to win $10K in cash is gone...

Okiez... The past year has been full of ups and down. I learnt a lot about myself which i think is good and becoming half-financially independent is quite a good thing but there are the many tragedies that happen on a large scale basis like the tsunamis and stuff... but then again, Life still goes on... I still gotta wake up early for school tmr... blah blah blah.. but i think you can really see the world kinda united for once, sending help, people of different races, different countries making donations to the affected countries... It brings people together... But then we mourn for the hundreds of thousand of lives lost. Family who got seperated, children orphaned.
I mean it's a weird thing to happen to 'usher in the new year'.

Other than that, I gotta switch myself to mugger-project-mode. See all smu-ers in school by next week... the only thing I'll be looking forward to is maybe the end of Thursday every week and no project meetings on Friday... Hahaha...
