Hmmm... Hols will be ending soon for most people. Looking back, it's been one of my most relaxing and enjoyable hols. I set out before exams with a list of things to do during this hols.

Things like:
1) Fix my lousy phone's keypad

2) Get a job

3) Pack my room

4) Swim more

5) watch full house

6) Watch youtube

7) Finish my internship report. (Yes, Val and Zhumei... I haven't done it YET!) It was due like erm... a couple of months back.

According to my list, here's what happened to the items:
1) Haven't fixed it yet cause I would have ot send my phone to the 'hospital' for 3 days. Need to find 3 days where I don't mind using a lousy standby phone. Maybe when school reopens.

2) Well, I did manage to get a job. So at least that's done. Work ahead...

3) Nope.. my notes are still not filed up. Does clearing up my cupboard (to make way for new clothes) count?

4) No thanks to the weather, didn't spend much time swimming. None at all in fact.

5) Watched half of episode 1 of full house. I think I should really bring it with my to Switzerland to while away any free time I may have. (Later I end up not watching at all! Hahaha...)

6) Spent a grand total of one night youtubing. (which is rather little I would say. Maybe I just have the knack of doing the wrong things at the wrong time. like trying to watch Goong in the midst of the school term with projects and papers piling up or watching xman when I have papers due.)

7) What internship report? Wahahahas... (I shall try to do it before school reopens)

What else did I do?

Went eating at Amoy Street food centre with Meiju and Baoqin. Walked to Maxwell Food Market and went to the stall where I fried our own ham jim bang. Except well, I got a bit freaked out by the oil. It was freaking BLACK lar!!! And I like the sweet potato balls.

Hmmm... Royalties! We can go there and eat one day!!! A lot of food! Maybe we can finally do our food hunt!

Attended a couple of 21st bday parties.

Reconnected with the inner singer in me. Hahaha... ktv session (note: no plural.) Wanna add an 'S' to it before school reopens? And singing carols...

OOohh.. Met up with the gassy gals many many times. nice nice~!~ Makes me realise how little we meet up during school term. It's really nice being with you girls. It's been like 9 years since Sec 1 Truth. Cooking and baking at Mabel's house, shopping for Mabel's present. Today's Boxing Day shopping. Sitting and talking.

Hahaha.. Yeah.. I went shopping today. I got a nice new pair of shoes. I think I have been buying a lot of shoes. Or rather, i usually just buy shoes when I go out. hurhurhur. Saw a nice black dress today. But dun really have a good occassion to wear them. SO nevermind. Shall save up. Cause I'm meeting up with more people in the next few days. Haha...

Oh yeah.. and not forgetting my trip to Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Nice time spent with family!

as the year draws to a close... here's looking forward to the next...

Merry Christmas!

Been out the last few days. Went for Sam's party on the 22nd. Us vjchoir people started singing Christmas carols. Yes.... in SATB and all. It was warm. A sense of familiarity. And well, you just don't forget some things like lyrics. melody and stuff though they were a bit rusty. I miss singing.

and yeah.. I got myself hooked onto mapling again. :) teeheehee...

Started watching youtube again last night.
What else but Xman and more Xman. Caught episode 62 which was the World Cup special in Germany with Shinhwa as guests. I finally appreciate why so many people are in love with them. Me heart Eric!

Anyway, as usual, I was all cracked up over the episodes. They. were. hilarious. My mum thought I was having fits or something when I started howling with laughter.

And then I watched episode 69 with DBSK (Dong Bang Shin Ki) or TVXQ (Tong Vfang Xien Qi) which is another Korean group.

*drools... * another 5 cute guys... who are all like 20 years old!!!

And I like him...

Planning for my imminent exchange gives me this little rush of excitement. The thought of being almost all alone, far away from friends and family for at least 3 months. part of me can't wait, while part of me is thinking of the different possibilities. There is this whole feeling of apprehension and excitement bubbling in side me now.

Maybe I am too ambitious, wanting to go to almost everywhere. Sigh... I wish I have more times. Also, thinking when I should book my return flight back. It's like... I will move out of my hostel on 15th July. So how long do I want to spent lugging my huge luggage around? 2 weeks? or 3? or more? Well, I have like until late August - before school starts. But I do need to settle back in Singapore.

Have been spending the last couple of hours looking at course outlines to look at the courses I am interested in taking, trying to look at air ticket prices, thinking if I should apply for hostel card and stuff. So near yet so far. Most of the friends I know going on exchange will be leaving end of this month or early next month.

Next task: To plan travel plans...

On another random note, I wish it would stop raining soon. Just as soon as the skies start clearing, the rain comes pouring down. It's been a wet day. Nice day to sleep in, and yet, I had ot go out. But I do like the chilly feeling. :)

I think I'm finally done with the preparation for tomorrow's event. :)

Tomorrow, or rather, in a few hours time, SMU Rotaract will be going down to conduct a one day fun and experiential learning workshop for a group of children. The last few days were spent preparing/buying logs.

Oh ya.. was also busy looking for wings for Mabel's themed birthday celebration which was held at Mind Cafe yesterday! Shall update later... (Yeah.. I think I owe like 2 entries liaoz)

Am falling in love with F.I.R.'s not-so-recent album. I didn't like their 2nd one cause I thought it was too similar to their first one. But this one surprised me with the different types of song. And I think Faye (the lead) is super pretty. Hahaha...

Haven't really been updating myself with the latest in music. at this rate, I'll end up being stuck in my 1990s-early 2000s music. Wonder how it will be when I go overseas next year. Hmmm... 4 months without keeping track of new songs? I mean like ya... I will go check out albums online. But I think I get introduced to songs more during ktv sessions. Hahaha...

Also looking forward to buying Hacken Lee's Concert Hall 2 album as well. And heez... maybe his concert VCD/DVD.

oooh.. and I'm getting a kick out of trying the new 'Label' thingee from Blogger.

It's 6:30 am. I am either a super early waker of a dan later sleeper right? Unfortunately, neither. I had trouble sleeping half the night. I dunno if it's the coffee or if it's the slight indigestion I'm feeling. Sigh...

I've been tossing and turning for hours. Managing ro catch like a it of sleep then waking up to longer periods of tossing and turning. Shall try and sleep now.

Hmmm... lack of updates. I've just been majorly chilling. Waking up late, playing computer games, slacking, catching Doha games highlights...

Got back results of 3 of my 4 mods... Heh... happy with them. :)

Other than that, I may be potentially starting a job soon, Mabel's 21st this weekend. Something on here, there, everywhere... and I still haven't started on youtube craz-ing yet...

THE TERM IS OVER!!!

At 5.05 this afternoon, i finished my last paper (for the term anyway). My grades are both in the prof's hands... and in Whoever-I-believe-in's hands. And I truly believe in miracles.

Just 24 hours ago at 9:36 PM on 30th Nov, I was sitting in a swivel chair in SR 2.2, consolidating my social cognition stuff. Integrating and reading 24 articles and/or mini reports, trying to understand and remember all of them was kinda pure hell. I'm thinkful for study groups. I don't know what would have happened to my social cog today if we did not discuss it.

Left school at 11, had a late late dinner... and then... at 12, MUG HCM! I barely touched it during the study week cause I was doing up a social cog paper and other stuff. YOu can imagine the state I was in. Head swarming with social cognition stuff, methodology of the studies, and still trying to cram in recruitment methods, selection process, interviews and what nots for a 40% paper!!!

I could have DIED!!!

Thanks to all out there who listened to me whine, your smses/hugs/wishes brightened up my day and it did help me survive 2 papers today! Awww... *BIG HUG* I really really appreciate having all of you around...

And I believe in miracles cause I could actually do the HCM paper. Woohoo! NEver again am I going to be so last min. :) I promise myself.

Lastly, I love you Fran!!! For your nice present... and also, for coming early to tell me about Training and Development methods. If not, I could never have done that question! YOu are a good spotter!!!

Hahaha... as I am half packed for Hongkong, I think I shall leave this post as it is now. Will update more when I get back. 1 glorious month of holiday~!~
