Almost at the end of my 3 consecutive midterms... Abnormal was not too bad (I hope)... considering I chose sleep over studying that night...
IO... a prof that marked 16 scripts during the break and returned it to us within the same day... Well... what can I say... Impressivo~!~ But... but... I think the grade was justifiable, given the effort I put in... But...
Sometimes, it is not the grade that gets me down... It is the knowledge that it was an easy paper and how much better I could have done if I had just bothered to study that little bit more, to start that bit earlier. everything came form the notes/textbook! I wasn't stumped! I just didn't have the answers because I didn't study them. I rue the missed chances...
Ie went surprising ok... Not top... actually, nowhere near top.. but given my limited Economics capacity... was happy with my grade...
Been struck with thoughts recently. Plans, future... Maybe I should just focus on studying... Been slacking off more than I would like...
Time to start T&A...

Was away from civilisation for a while...
Isn't this pic gorgeous?
Isn't this pic gorgeous?
Love the colour of the sky for this one!!!
I was still in sunny Singapore... just in some ulu corner. Changi Aloha to be exact. I could spend the whole day just walking the boardwalk, staying at the beach.
Took the pics just as the sun was about to set... about 6 plus I guess.
My only regret was not bringing my camera to snap more pics... Took what I could with my not very good camera phone... but still satisfied with the results!
Hmmm... the time at the chalet was good.. nice food, funny, crappy people, long walk... :) and more importantly, we actually SLEPT! Hahaha... haven't really 'slept' during chalets for some time.. usually end up spending the night playing cards and stuff...
Thanks Meiju for the invitation even though I'm not a Sissimo member...

Being photo-whores while 'studying' in gsr.. clicking away with our camera phones... Bursting out into laughter and having fun suan-ing someone..

Woke up at 6 plus AM this morning.. Surprising huh? Me? The sloth... waking up even before the sun rose!!!
Yeah.. kinda shocked myself when i did that.. went to East Coast for a nice morning walk/jog whatever with my parents and sister today.. Fresh cool air... gave me some time to sort out my thoughts...
Taught my sister how to cycle... Ok.. didn't really teach teach... cause cycling is just learnt like that *snaps finger*. You can fail a million times... but suddenly you just get it! Remembered how Angie and Siyi taught me that time. Yah... so she can cycle now...
But because I woke up so early.. took a nice long nap in the afternoon.. sth I haven't done is quite a while...
Note to self this hols:
Revise for midterms in week 9
Go shopping (I need stuff for Finishing Touch! anyone wanna go shopping with me?)
Finish up MPW journals
Try and sleep more :)

It is kinda unnerving to be listening to eating disorders in abnormal psych class... Are we really subscribing to an anorexic society? Where one must look good to feel good?
btw, SMU is raising it's school fees to $7500!!! Wahlaos! It's exorbitant lar!!! No.. it doesn't affect me.. but it is still damn ex compared to NUS and NTU's $6100... Like... ya.. the fees won't rise at all.. but that is almost $2000 more than what we paid when we went in as first years. Do they want to make this a rich men school? I think it may become discriminatory...
I still really want to go Europe very much!

I seem to have a knack for screwing up my presentations recently... not a very good sign given that I have quite a few more to come. But I shall try...
Another decision to make... To go Europe or not? I've wanted to go there for a long long time... but rationally, I can go next time in future. Bleahz... This is confusing...

Tired.
Weak, Weary
Disappointment.
Resigned, I'll get over it...
Looking ahead,
may it all be worth it.
It brings me disappointment, yet gives me hope.
at its infancy stages now, let's just allow it to make mistakes.
I made one of the hardest decisions I had to make in a long time. Words cannot describe how I feel.
Actually, numb is as close as I can get to it. All the planning has come to naught. No more thinking, wondering and grinning secretly to myself when I think of me living on my own for 5 months. Not in the near future anyway.
A rational decision was made. It can only be for the better I agree. Yet, I can't help but feel a slight sense of loss for what could have been. Hopefully, it will go away when I immerse myself in my readings and studying for midterms. 1 week to the deadline. So near, yet so far. I think it is because I have been doing so much research. Almost concrete plans... all down the drain. I shall learn how to stop mopping.
It's time to concentrate on what will be. On how not to regret my decision and to make use of the opportunities that come my way because of this decision.
Oh... did I mention, I'm not going for exchange anymore.

Confused and lost... planning for exchange is a MASSIVE headache...
Courses I want to take are not being offered the term I want to go, if I wait one more sem, I will have to do my internship this summer... There is this important psychology course that I am advised to take as soon as it is offered (ie: next sem or wait another year).
Bleahz... having a massive headache!

I wish i could have a good and happy day like Siyi... Not to be bogged down by thoughts of projects, assignments, tasks... Ya.. just thoughts! I'm not even doing them!!! Ok... Maybe I did have a good day. I should learn how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
So here goes... The good thing that happened today was that I had a chat with Sharon, I saw friends around... I spent half my day listening to nice songs. and well... I think I'm falling in love with Sweden. :)
Exchange is a headache. Maybe I should stop all the second-guessing and just put the uni of my choice.. which happen to be in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US... and now, Sweden. :) So I'll still need to narrow down my choices and stuff... I don't know where I want to go... just someplace, somewhere where I can hopefully get to look at life from a different perspective.
Have you ever felt like taking time off from school? Like just dropping everything so that you'll be able to play computer games, PS2 and read the whole day long? To laze around in bed, to not worry about having to rush to school or participate in class or do your readings...
Ok.. time ot return to reality. I really enjoy my courses this sem.. but I need to do sth about them! Not just attend class!!! Journals to be written, project research, media conference paper, exchange...
