First week of school is great! Ok.. the not so great thing is I'm spending a BOMB on books! Bah! $40 for a Human Resource text, and I heard... 85 for another module. Cause there are 2 books. Anyone bought some APA manual and would like to sell me?

Classes are basically introductions, I don't have to stay in school for project meetings yet...

And i'm happy spending time with frens... Slacking in the library.

But a library is not exactly an ideal place to slack... If given a choice, I would slack at home. But...

Actually, I'm rotting in the library cause I got a briefing session at 7 and I have 4 hours to kill cause my class ended at 3. And I'm bored cause I got nth to do in the library! So i start disturbing ppl on msn...

I like Psych courses! you go into class and know almost the whole class in there! Whoo!

p.s.: I think I'm going ot break my own record.. I'm have blogged for 3 consecutive days!

You know school has started when...

You get tons of spam from the various CCAs advertising something or another
The concourse is packed with people
The empty Kopitiam is bursting with life and you can't find a seat
You go into a seminar room and see a prof in front of you
You have to wake up early to make it to 830 class
You see people queuing at Verts to sell their books

I'm listening to my music, typing away at my com... with another 5 hours to rot away. Lalala... can arrange photos and maybe blog.. and yeah.. do internship report...

Today... school starts.

I'm still undecided over whether I should concentrate on a double major or single-major-plus-track (some new stuff offered by SMU) degree. One will according to my parents and other people, give me more marketability on the job market and will be more beneficial. The other gives me a chance to take things slow and in my opinion will help me more in trying to pull up my GPA cause I won't have to do so many modules every semester.

What can an OBHR major do for me when I can also take on extra OBHR courses but without having to squeeze that many in to qualify for a double major. think think...

I'm being eaten alive by mosquitos in my own home. It's sad. Really. I woke up at 2 am last night with at least 8 red welts all over me. And like 3 on my fingers... Like 'itch itch itch.. scratch scractch scratch...'. But mozzies are quite smart creatures. They disappear after feasting on blood - cause I couldn't catch any last night.

I feel unprepared for school. Need to clear stuff on my laptop, the book-buying craze begins... and I got a million things to blog.. Ok.. maybe 3... The Genting trip and Yuanshan's bday and Sentosa! Woohoo!

And I think I'm too lazy to queue at Verts to sell my book.. so... wadever.. they can rot for one more sem in my cupboard.

Pens out, games aside.. it's time to start a muggery term!

Gillian still cannot drive! :( Well, on public roads that it. and before I start a lengthy post ranting on pompous testers who are pain in the you-know-where, well, I'm kinda over it. I will make it on my next try. and in true honesty, I'm in a little bit of a rush cause I'm suppose to meet some friends soon, but I'm still lounging at home. But I just thought I needed to get this off my chest.

I suddenly feel overwhelmed. It is the effect of taking on too many things on not delivering. I try to ignore the emails sent, but I can't do anything about the nagging guilt growing somewhere inside of me.

I took them on because I enjoyed them, but juggling so many things with internship was no joke I realised. That and my penchant for fun. after today, things will be back on track I promise. My composition (if you all will still want it) and the proposal will all be done these 2 days.

and yes, I realised I have 3 sets of photos sitting prettily on my desk. It will be uploaded soon too.

I'm back!

So many things happened in these 2 weeks. And I think I've been eating thru these 2 weeks. Let's see...

It was Angie's birthday on the 2nd... and we had a cake with 21 candles, a bottle of beer and 5 other drinks between us.

5th.. Meet up with Char, Da and Yeesh @ Marina Sq Cartel in the afternoon. I didn't know Cartel changed to table service (ie: they will take ur orders and serve you water and bread. Actually, I would much prefer cutting my own bread.. wadever...) Errr... we just sat there for hours and talked. Updates, complains, whinings, funny stuff.. wadever...

after that, it was rush to Yishun for Angie's bday party? gathering? Loads of food, yummy mango cake. Last minute writing of card with an interesting message. Hope you like the presents!

Eh... then Genting trip on 8th night. Was in school for the Singapore Guitar Quartet concert. It was good. :) The concert showcased pieces by Robert Luse who is a very good guitarist himself. I'm very glad to have met him while doing a course. A very grandfatherly-liked old man. :)

And because of the Fireworks frestival, there was this terrible jam along my school. Sigh man... I left school at 9 and had to be at Golden Mile by 945! Luckily my dad came to pick me from school. Rushed home, checked that everything was packed and then it was off to pick Siyi up from Little India and to Golden Mile...

Looked for our bus, got on and we began the trip to Genting! Woo hoo! My first time there I think. The last time I went, I was only 1.5 yrs old or sth. Can't exactly remember anything. Stopped at Customs, chop passport... then it was all the way up! There was quite a lot of room on the bus as it was a 26-seater. But can't beat the comforts of your own bed lar. Changed position every few hours... Reached Genting at 5 plus.. and it was food, themepark, more food from then on. Shall talk more with photos later...

Then Fri was my last day at work. Got a cushion and my colleagues treated me to lunch at this cafe-liked place near Bugis. Not too bad lar...

Today.. Yuanshan's birthday. We finally got our quan2 jia1 fu2 after many many many months... Good food, nice company.. what more can I ask for?

The week ahead looks pretty packed too...

Tmr... Rotaract installation. Will be in school the whole day.

Driving from Mon to Wed...

Thursday! PA interns outing!! Wahahhas.. can't wait to have a day of Sand, Sun @ Sentosa!
