Today has been a mixed day... My body was on shutdown this morning.. couldn't wake up... so didn't manage to go to Far East Flora to get cheaper rose... Then ar.. took a freaking cab whereby the stupid driver thought SMU was SIM... Sigheth... so paid more for the cab than necessary... I had to tkae a cab cause I woke up late see... Mwahahaha...

But then got back my psych presentation score.. happy!!! good to see the recognition for pia-ing so hard for the presentation. Last presentation of the term later... Hmmmm... Hope it'll be good....

Lalala... I usually detest looking at 'Times New Roman' font but after looking at looking at it for 2 of my paper the whole of last night... I seem to be rather immune to it.. Was taking notes when I realise I haven't changed my fonts yet...

Mean exposure effect?

boogly eyed after doing the paper till 5... I'm sitting in class now after 3 hours of (barely there) sleep... 2 parts took 5 hours... After like 3 am, my mind was saturated and I was just typing and re-typing a sentence over and over again... Bah! Give me the strength to survive today...

Been cabbing a lot these 2 days... But I don't care... If I don't get enough sleep, I need to make it up to my body in other ways... Ok.. shall pay attention...

Super funny... the prof is asking a question.. and the class is just throwing out random answers. LIke no one can catch what he is asking probably because people don't pay attention?

couldn't resist sneaking in a post now... I;ve never felt so pressed for time, yet so relaxed at the same time... It's 12.24 am.. I have an 830am class tmr where I amd supposed to hand up a paper and I'm still halfway through it... Well done Gillian... I just hope I can pull it off like I said in the previous post. Afterall, it is all about democracy, sth which is equivelant to Greek in my opinion. Interesting no doubt but worried about the applications part...

Just finished my AS individual assignment.. Shucks.. i just can't seem to sit still in front of my laptop and do work.. I'll e doing other stuff.. but I would say it is a not bad piece of work (ok.. I'm just trying to console myself)

Anyway, I think it is time to morph back to democracy mode, Nigeria and Tunisia, here I come.. According to my essay outline, I technically have 2 more parts to write - economic development and description of situation in Tunisia. After that, I'm about done... MWahahaha... I'll keep you posted on the status..

Do I mention that I am currently chatting on MSN? oh bother...

The last week of school is unravelling... fast... and I still have a lot of stuff hot on my heels... AS individual assignment and democracy paper both due tmr.. both half done... BGS presentation on Thursday... thrashing out tmr after the submissions of my papers... A tight dateline but I'm sure I can do it... Just hope my papers sound decent enough to get me a decent grade...

I've been whining incessently about a certain project group I have... yet today, when I was meeting, I find that as long as you don't take things too personal, sometimes it can be fun too... Or at times, you can just choose to ignore certain elements.. instead of branding the group as a single entity... and have fun with the rest...

If others want to leave early, fine...
if others decide to come late, fine too...
If others sudddenly realise there is another meeting waiting... just ignore them...
Ditto for those who don't seem to be doing much...

Just work with those who are willing to work, crap with those who want to crap... and it'll be nice... I should learn not to bring my prejudices in for meetings... instead, leave them outside and you can always pick it up again after the meeting... Brilliant huh? So when I next whine about any project groups I have, kindly direct me back to this post...

Been trying to increase my threshold for staying awake... Because I just do too irrelavent things like reading a storybook 2 nights before my papers are due... And I seem to be succeeding... I should not to abuse my body.. but I do get a kick out of it. Looking forward to tmr so I can just go and collapse on my bed... Ditto to Thursday where I can 'celebrate' my last presentation of the term...

This term is ending soon... Doesn't feel like 13 weeks have passed... After this week, the next thing on my agenda - mugging... After that.. so many things to do...

1) Get a job
2) Learn driving
3) Hong Kong anyone?
4) Prepare for camps
5) Eh.. windsurfing
6) Slack
7) Slack
8) Slack

Dreams...

Nothing but... fleeting thoughts
Nothing but... manifestation of activities in the day
Nothing but... an imagination
Nothing but... the effects of an overworked mind
Nothing but... an escape
Nothing but... sweet...

Interesting... I still see ppl online at this weird hour. Seems like I'm not the only night owl here... The democracy paper is getting on track. But I kinda wish I could have started on it earlier.. There is just so much to explore.. so much to read... and I love getting lost in literature and words... (and it is definitely more interesting than when I did my research for Napster for Plural Perspectives). But it's doing great.. got my structure out, trying to fill in the blanks now... Constantly on a search engine...

Sigheth.. always too late for regrets... but I think the thing about social sciences is that it makes you ponder and think... Not just a straight in the face thing... But I'm really to stoned to think now...

There's still AS individual.. Darn!!! I shall squeeze time... Sometimes, it's like trying to squeeze water from a rock... If only I wasn't such a procrastinator...

Hmmm... had project meeting today... Felt that my group wasn't as bad as I portray them to be.. Mwahahaha... I mean the few hours spent with them was rather enjoyable... Pity is that we can't click.. I dunno.. it's just different.. You can tell that there is some sort of a 'invisible wall' between us... Not as straight forward.. it is more task oriented.. I think it is kinda a pity cause they are all nice ppl...

I think you won't know how much you can act like someone or realise how one's actions can be so reasonable until you reflect on it.. It's like I got pissed off by someone's attitude and actions at the last meeting.. but today, I caught myself doing sth which I felt was similar in nature.

What happened was that we were debating whether I should be presenting or not. I didn't exactly mind not presenting but at the same time, I was kinda reluctant to give it up. But my part wasn't important. More of like speaking for the sake of speaking. So we were just there stoning, and I was like 'What do you all think'... I mean I didn't tell them that I wanted to do it (since I wasn't that sure) but I didn't say that I don't want to do it either...

I should stop passing judgement on others so quickly... If not I'll feel bad when they turn out nicer than it seems...

Finally got started on my democracy paper.. I just hope I have enough space to squeeze everything I want inside... Should finish by tonight... (mwahahhaa... ie: 3 am or sth).

And I'm so proud of my video! (Did some tweaking after feedback in today's meeting) Yes! it has been in my last 2 entries.. but hey.. I toiled hard for it.. so I guess I earned the bragging rights! It's like when you've done sth great ,you just wanna show it to the whole world and bask in their compliments... Mwahahaha... I sound rather egoistic! This video is really a breakthrough for me... Have never attempted sth so complex? I mean the concept is simple and I'm really using an idiot proof programme... but I like the way everything gels together... searching for clips, creating my own clips... Mwahahaha... *beams with pride*!

At the same time, I sometimes wonder if it is worth it... I mean there is no difference between having a video and not having one. I mean those points can always be covered in the presentation. And I could have done it much simpler - just a slide show of pictures. Then again, I like experimenting with programmes. So I guess the video is not that important. Instead, it is what I have learnt from building it...

Oh ya... had a nice Good Friday... stuffed myself silly with food... and kinda slacked the whole day away... just talking, crapping. It's like relieving all the stress that have been building up the past few weeks. My friends never fail to brighten up my day and make me less cynical and feel less stress whenever I'm with them and after I've spent time with them.

And I learnt a lesson.. when your body suffers from a lack of sleep, do not expect it to respond on command... although I slept relatively early last night (at 1 cause i figured even if I have to wake up 10.30 am, I would get 10 hours of sleep which was a lot compared to 5 hrs...). But my brain decided to wake up only at 11.50am this morning... which rendered me late for my meeting in school at 12! I should learn not to torture my body so much... Which means earlier nights for me... which means I better start doing my democracy paper now...

Hmmm.. this entry is disjointed.. so many points in one entry... Whatever... I am always incoherent...

Gillian is on a high now and feeling accomplished!!! 2 nights spent building a video from scratch... I love Windows Movie maker (though it hung on me like 5 times tonight!) But it is finally done... Final product will be screened between 330 and 645 in Biz Lvl 1 CR 2 next thurs.. Stay tuned!!! I'm so proud of myself!!!

tomorrow will be a brand new and better day.. I WILL (must, die die also can) finish my democracy paper by tomorrow!!! and I'm so sure I can do it!!!

I have this uncanny thing for staying up late when I shouldn't... But the consequence of too much slacking is that work is piling up like crazy... and it's starting to take a toll on me... Doing 2 videos for my presentation next week... Still halfway thru the 1st one... Another thing is my democracy paper... been putting it off for way too long already.. I better get it done soon.. And there;s still AS individual Assignment... Yeah.. doesn't sound like a lot.. but when you meet a procrastinator like me, I can just rot one who day away or sth.. without feeling guilty... or I'll try to stay up and may end up unproductive...

Sheesh! It's 3.29 liaoz... I need to be in sch by *eeps!* 1015 tmr... Bah!!! Good Night world...

I'm feeling frustrated and overwhelmed... not exactly pissed.. just irritated... I see a cycle... I get stressed up when my datelines are approaching... when I have tons to do... Fine.. I'm a procrastinator...

I'm sick of trying to be the middleman for my project.. It sucks lar... 4 persons trying to edit the final draft of a report... Differing views and I dunno why but I'm chatting to the other 3 in 3 diff MSN windows... So I have a zillion copies of the final report with a few changes here and there in my laptop. And it really doesn't help tt there is sth wrong with my MSN... sometimes, I dun get the msg tt ppl try to send me... i dunno if there is any info lost or not... cause if u r chatting to a person, they dun go silent for like 10 mins or sth... What's wrong with my MSN??? We should have just met! Bah!

I usually don't post lyrics but I like this song...

童话 by 光良

忘了有多久, 再没听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久, 我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么

你哭着对我说, 童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂, 从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了

我愿变成童话里, 你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信, 相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

我要变成童话里, 你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信, 相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

我会变成童话里, 你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信, 相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
一起写我们的结局

You can go listen to the song by searching www.baidu.com.

I think I set quite high expectations... especially if it is sth I am interested in... But I feel like I can get too strong headed when I don't get what I want or what I have in mind... and I feel guilty after that. Hmmm... At the same time, I refuse to compromise on what I feel would like add value. It can be sth as simple as the way the slides look or even the type of animation for instance. Yes... I do go into the details which has its pros and cons.

Oh well... just some after thoughts after a presentation today... I feel like I've came on a bit too strong to get it going.. Makes it a cause and effect thing... I appear to want things done my way because others have no opinion. When I have a direction, others are afraid to voice out and I end up doing things my way because others don't know what I have in mind exactly.

And the fact that it is nth major... just things like alignment and stuff... Sheesh.. I didn't know I'm such a detail freak. I mean I usually am the one who overlooks the details. I think I end up stressing myself too much over sth minor or going all out to correct it. I don't feel that it is necessarily a good thing cause other ppl in the grp may find that I don't trust them or want to claim credit or sth. Or maybe they just feel that they look bad. and i'm really sorry if I have evoked those feelings. It is not exactly about them, but more of me. But it is hard to communicate this idea across...

Because I know what I want, I impose my ideas on others. I mean I realise that when you are with people who are 随便 (in the sense they do not have a direction and would just go with the flow), one has to get the thing moving or it will just stop there... But when is doing a bit more too much? It's like a slippery slope argument - where is the boundary?

Overtime, I realise I judge people very quickly... be it good or bad... but if you prove yourself to me, I'll change my mind... and I would actually respect you for that. I admit sometimes, hastily judging someone would cause a lot of problems... Why this sudden thought? Well, changed my opinion of some people for a particular project... I like it when ppl at least try... compared to others where things don't go thru their thick skin...

MY MSN IS SCREWED!!!

Bah!!! It is selective what message I can send out and what message I can receive.
It disconnects me when I'm in the midst of chatting.
I can't reconnect after that.
If I can, the whole world appears offline thought i'm so sure there are people online.
Screwed!

HELP!!! Any way to cure it??? Or maybe it is my freaking internet connection... Fwah!!! It disconnects halfway when I'm using... Like weak signal. I got this nagging feeling that someone may be tapping it... But i dunno how to set password... My cable is not tt fast kaez.. plus it supports 2 desktops... and 1 laptop... and one of the desktop is like perpatually online playing DOTA or sth... (eh.. it's a game). Help!!!

I have a short fuse when I dun get enough sleep.. and I don't constitute 5 hours as enough... I got irritated by some parents at the open house who asked so much about admissions, trying to improve the kid's chance of getting that interview... Yeah.. she was that direct... I was thinking, if the kid already got the results, there is nth much that can be done!!! I so sure I can memorise the whole Bachelor of Social Science Curriculum lar... Everyone asks me that!!! I would rather talk about student life or sth lar... But I din get a lot of the 'What job prospects are there' questions... Hahaha... Oh.. I saw a guy who I think is my choir junior.. Eh.. I actually talked him and found him familiar but I just didn't recall anything about him... until another vj girl remembered him.

I'm super tired.. Imagine standing for eh.. 5 to 6 hours??? But there are also nice ppl to talk to... So it wasn't so bad I guess... I'm just whining... It's a memorable event... But holding it at Raffles city, I felt that there wasn't a chance to showcase the student life... More of an uppity affair... Looks very pro though... Hahaha...

Oh.. and I realise I can see my house from the 69th floor od Equinox! hahaha.. Ok.. cheap Thrill.. I admit.

Gillian's battery is running low.. Needs to recharge soon... But there's a million and 1 thing left.. May my presentation go well tmr... ;)

*note: Edited the frist para @ 2.40 liaoz...*

I don't know why I'm still awake at this hour... But this has set me thinking for these 2 days...

Went for a feedback session yesterday... I see a whole new host of opportunities for a Social Science graduate... going into research, working on a project basis with reknowned and prestigious institutions, applying into graduate school, going the academic path. Yet... I can't help but wonder, is this possible? I mean perhaps it has to do with the fact that I was brought up in a sheltered (and some may even say pampered) environment. Protective parents, I get what I want... I just wonder... are the above achievable? For a Singaporean? In addition, this is not a tried and tested route? Though I want to be adventurous... but the question is can I?

Can I leave behind everything and pursue a path which I'm sure would lead me overseas? I love the thought... And I was fine with it, and for a period of time, thinking that I'll just stay overseas to work after getting my masters... but now, we are looking at (possibly) a phD... a very far thought that I'm scared to entertain.

Also, there is a lot more at stake here... The life sounds good I admit... but there is more to life than the tangibles... Intangible stuff like relationships, kinships, friendships, warmth, family? can I just pluck myself here and lead a life of a travelling researcher for instance?

And again... would they consider students from Singapore?

From a dream to be a child psychologist, now I find myself open to other possibilities that sounds sppealing to me... and yet, seems so unachivable... Maybe it is good to take one step at a time... Just be consistent and find out more along the way...

O shall go sleep.. tmr (eh.. later) going for open house... Panda eyes again...

Hmmm... the social psych handout is done!!! at like 5 plus last night (but stupid blogger was down so I couldn't gush over it...) but the sense of satisfaction is GREAT!!! Mwahahaha... if i daresay, I haven't seen such a pretty handout before!!!

In school tackling another project.. I feel on a roll now...

I'm over the moon!!! I can finally start my sleep late at night routine!!! cause I don't have to go to school early.. Just me and my music, in front of my laptop, chatting, working... Silence reign in the house, no temptations from the blaring of TV outside, no programmes to watch, no annoying siblings...

I feel productive in the wee hours of the night... plus I had a nice nap before idol results... so yeah... recharged and raring to go!!!

I love my social psych handout... Thanks to Meiju and Baoqin for the idea... and the 'copyright'... Hahaha... dateline: tmr 12... Shall finish it tonight...

Survived a long day... wasn't that bad... and I came home to unwind i nfront of the telly.. Mwahahaha...

I shall go recharge soon... Real soon.. probably after this... Oh.. I wanted to comment on sth which I think is rather funny... I was just looking at a forum, talking about some entertainment gossip news or sth... So there was some stuff about some stars under going plastic surgury or sth... No big deal right? You'll be surprised... The whole topic was like spammed with posts of their fans, declaring outrage at such a 'ridiculous accusation'. Most of then were like 'No! No way...' and basically, the rest were like just so similar...

My point: actually I also dunno.. but i don't get it.. I mean like it is just a comment.l.. there is no need for a barrage of fans to defned their idol cause there is nth to defend... I mean there are so many things based on hearsay nowadays...

Oh... kinda finished my part for presentation next week.. hip Hip Hooray!!! but yeah.. haven't started on democracy yet... but then guess what?? I have a one week extension!!! yay!!! *grinz* So that kind of frees up some time... More of BGS on my mind now... totally zero communication, accusations, comments thrown all over the place. But people don't seem to be doing much... I'm frankly quite irritated myself too.. though I think I may have contributed to the mess.. Mwahahaha... Shall see what happens during the meeting on Friday.. or maybe tmr if the prof gives us time...

BTW... I think that Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race has such a cool job... Oh! I finally remembered what I wanted to blog about... I don't think I wanna go into HR in future.. Mwahahaha... after this talk I attended... But nvm.. back to Phil... he gets to host such an amazing programme... and I think he is quite funny... esp when you watch the behind the scenes clips... Fine.. I'm a sucker for travel programmes... but yeah...

Oh.. Ade!!! Congrats!!! you passed!!! now can drive me around!!! Mwahahaha...

ok.. shall stop my senseless gushing... Good night world...

Hahaha.. i just stoned through my whole democracy class... and Darn! He knows my name!!! and it was super obvious tt I wasn't paying attention lar... Staring at my laptop the whole time without looking up at him... But I think like 99% if not the whole class was doing sth else... Hahaha...

Now I feel kinda guilty... Bah! Cause he knows... But i dun think i'll go round making promises that I will study harder for demo to make up just in case I can't fulfil them.. Hahaha....

I bet my democracy prof is regretting that he is making us write the Constitution of Nigeria. He has been going on and on about our draft for the past one hour... and it seems that there are quite a lot of controversy.. Mwahahaha...

Been dreaming a lot lately.. I htink I ought to really not think so much.. Imagine dreaming of the scarecrow in Howl's Moving castle in some sort of a zoo where I was supposed to be having lessons or sth... Bah! I would rather fall into a deep slumber and not remember my dreams...

Oh wells.. everything has been rather mundane.... Just playing games, slacking and doing work... Mwahahaha.. Welcome to My Life!

Power

Well, just some after thoughts after reading a few chapters of 'Dangerous Alliances - Civil Society, The Media & Democratic transitions in North Africa' (Yep! I'm finally starting to do research for my paper...). Anyway, this kinda started me thinking... What is it about power? Why do people go back on their word, make empty promises and cause a whole load of suffering for others? Put it simply, if you are a good ruler, people would not want to dispose of you. So why would the ruler of Tunisia and well.. his ministers and the police force want to go after people who want to challenge him, clam down on the media, make life difficult for people and stuff? Well, there are literally spies and eavesdropper everywhere and the police and government has the ability to monitor everyone there... Kinda scary huh? and they call themselves a democracy?

Just to drive the point home, I happen to watch a bit of the 7pm show on Channel 8.. Some pugilistic show... but nevertheless, another story about power struggles... How people want to master certain skills, moves, create chaos to in short, become the 'Most Powerful Man on Earth'

Just me thinking... is it because of power, that's why people lose their mind? (as in after they rise to power, then they start plotting and stuff), or is it vice versa? (They have all those evil thoughts before they rise to power.. and thus, they try to rise to power so that they can carry out those dastardly acts!)

This is beginning to sound like psychology... Interesting huh?

Just a very 'bejewelled' Gillian rambling on and on... Nagging thoughts...

This I gotta blog... was trying to clear my phone inbox... I came across a strong of messages from my dearest sister... She was trying to tell me the results of American Idol.. Whereby the group of 16 was shrinked to the final 12... Let me reproduce these messages for you...

'Federov vonsel mario and the ryan seacrest equivalent that woman is in!'

'Kerry? a girl called kerry...' --> My personal favourite!

'nadia.. I type her name use dictionary become mafia! Haha...' Hmmm... major grammatical error.

'keanu reeves and crooked mouth' --> Eh... Constantine and Bo Bice!

'anwar! Yay! jessica? Who's that...'

'Got scott nikko and travis left.. I want nikko... Got the river deep mountain high girl (aka Amanda) ginay (aka Janey) and someone (aka Mikalah)' --> She claims she forgot that 'someone' was Mikalah... though I dunno whether it is subconscious cause she doesn't like her... Hahaha...

Lalala... I still think it is super funny... Notwithstanding major spelling and grammatical errors, she has this uncanny sense of humour... Mwahahaha...

Lalala... blogger locked me out yesterday.. so here is my delayed review of the past few days... Mwahahaha...

BGS was crap lar... my short answer became like mini essays... Hahaha... I'm still in a floaty-floaty mood... after like regurgitating everything i memorise out... (think vomitting). Mwahahaha... Serious wad... this sort of pure memory test makes me sick to some extent... And a lot of crap lar.. There are some you gotta understnad... but then.. Gimme psych any other day man... Even democracy sounds more appealing than BGS...

But then again, it is over!!! So now for the report!!!

Caught Howl's Moving Castle... Not a bad show... but I still can't catch the anime craze... Mwhahahaha.. i think it is just me... Characters a re cute lar.. but my stnad is that after a while, everyone will look the same cause there are only a few ways you can draw sth.. Hahaha.. Nice storyline.. I mean kinda typical.. but then again, I'll salute whoever or whichever movie that does not have a typical boy meets girl, boy likes girl storyline... Or a predictable twist in horror shows... Hahaha...

Lalala.... back to work... been playing too much of bejeweled...

Lalala.. I can feel my 'disease' acting up.. I lost my Prof when he was talking about Hoar (I dunno who's dat) and am surfing around and stuff... Bah!

This happens every week!!! I shall resolve to do my work.. cause I have reports and presentation due...

I wanted to say sth.. but I forgot... Bah! I think I'm addicted to blogging!!!

Bah! Man U is out of Champions League... and Chelsea managed to overturn a deficit to advance! Bah!

Thank goodness for the existence of extension of project datelines!!! Woohoo!!! at least I have more than the one week I have now for my AS group assignment... Although it will also jam up somewhere later down the line... Hahaha...

Now.. to mug BGS.... 9 Chapters!!! wish me luck for sth I don't understand at all...

Oh.. can I mention that I know there are smart people around... In fact, it can be fun to have conversation with smart people... but I dislike pompous intelligent species who think that they happen to be the best thing that appeared on Earth and that the rest of us around are just their supporting actors... These people irk me to no end! And a word of caution, when you say something, make sure that the people you are talking (ie:bitching) about don't happen to be in the vincinity by chance.

Lalala... I'm supposed to be preparing my outline for my political science paper now.. but as usual.. I'm doing what I'm NOT supposed to do... Hahaha...

Still undecided whether I should pick on an African country that is familiar (ie: Nigeria) or explre something new like Tunisia in North Africa cause I'm currently reading a book about the politicla situation there... Lack of time to do research... Sianz...

Plan for today till Thursday: Study BGS

A 5 day week this week... ok.. like some who know may say, it is a bit 自找 one also lar... But when opportunity comes a knocking, it is hard to ignore it too... Mwahahaha...

I was doing some research today... I got this feeling that with an increasing reliance on technology... we all tend to overlook a better, more efficient way of searching for information - the good ol' library...

I dunno about you.. but if you ask me to so research for a project, I'll automatically search the Internet... Google, Yahoo.. you name it... yet I was in the library today, searching their catalogue for books I need for research, something I haven't done in like eons...

Now.. to plough through the 3 books I borrowed on Africa, Democratization and Politics... wish me luck!!!

create your own visited countries map
or vertaling Duits Nederlands


Hmmmm... a bit inaccurate.. since I haven't exactly been to the whole of Australia... and the one big patch that represents China is also wrong cause I've only been to certain parts of it (Like Hong Kong). I shall aim to have the most of the map covered by the time I am 70...

I am tired.. I wanted to sleep early.. but I was charging my laptop.. So i thought I would on it for a while... I was bored... and tired of surfing the net... but then I got entertained... and I entertained myself.. Thus, I'm still awake... but now me shall go sleep...

Good night world...

Ok.. another irrelevant, nonsensical, crappy post by a sleepy Gillian who will be off to bed soon...

Lalala... end of the week... weeks ahead looks daunting... Loads of datelines to meet... Shall buck up soon... but then again.. there's always tmr... I need a good rest... My eys and face (one side of it) has been feeling itchy... Dunno why.. Allergy? To what? lack of sleep???

Time flies.. tis week 9... This week actuallly seems non-existent, whizzing by in a flash... I have a bad feeling... like I'll drown in work soon... due to too many of my breaks...

People around me are stressing... Tests, datelines, everything's coming up over the next few weeks.. Shout out to all: Relax ya... and cheer up... Create time... I'm sure you'll be able to survive...

*Gee.. I sure hope I make use of this piece of advice for myself too!!!*

After 7 months in school.. the amount of irrelevant mails I get everyday still amazes me. It's been a long day... Back to back lessons... Bleahz... At least it rained today... Cool relief from the humid weather... Shall attempt to do some work later... at least read the social psych article... I'm feeling very nua now... Tihngs are piling up... I should stop slacking... ;)

Lalala... merrily typing away at my laptop... i'm looking for things to do online.. I just refuse to start studying!!!!

I feel that my mind is very detached from my actions... I feel incoherent.. and my hands refuses to type what I want to type... I am typing the wrong words at the wrong time.. Like 'next week' became 'last week'. Must be the 6 hours of sleep I got...

Yay!! Tonight is TV night!!! Can satisfy the TV junkie in me... Shall resolve to close my laptop in 5 to 15 mins...

ok... 12 mins gone.. I'm still stuck chatting... it looks as if it is gonna rain again...

Sheesh.. I need to prolong my attention span.. This always happens.. I'll follow my demo prof for the first hour of the lesson, have nice, coherent notes and then after that, I'll drift off... Shucks... Every single week without fail...

Like Dr. Nameless said, our attention span only lasts for 45 mins... so why is SMU trying to double it??? Bleahz!!!

I have this sudden urge to visit St Nicks soon... feeling nostalgic...

I came across an interesting blog. I think that they are doing is so cool...
