My face feels tight now... I used on a mask just now... Sigh.. pimple breakout again... I didn't have it last time (when I was like in sec sch...) so why ain't i growing any taller now?

Welcome to my mundane life... Work's fine.. I have 3 more days.. 20th, 21st and 27th.. Dun ask why 27th... Yar... Life's fine.. just a tad routine-y and boring... Christmas is coming soon... in like a week?? So how come I'm so not in the Christmassy mood? This sucks!!! Dunno wad presents to buy, piles of Christmas cards waiting for me to write in them... And i dun wanna go down to Orchard to walk walk.. cause it is freaking packed... but then again, it is where I can shop the longest... Where can I find some christmas cheer??? I just find this Christmas so empty... Maybe it has to do with not carolling??? Since I have been busy during Christmas the past 3 years with carolling... But if I go back, I kinda feel extra... so it is quite sianz also....

I need to find sth meaningful to occupy myself with.. Does driving count?? Or I'm sriously contemplating volunteering... I have no idea why.. but I feel that my life is such a blank now.. so aimless, nothing to work for, nth to do.. I just play computer, chat... read books, watch tv...

It's like if I din haf a job, I really dunno wad I'll do... Maybe go out more often? But then, maybe not.. so i'll rot even more at home? Great!

I shall go and rent more books tmr... Read this book by Jean Sasson... . it is a story of a Saudi Arabia princess... and there are a few more books to this sth like series... I kinda like these sort of books tt tells of a culture tt is different from ours... next on my list: Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown since the WHOLE WORLD seem to be waxing lyrical about it... Man and Boy by Tony Parson.. heard it was a good book.. but haven't had the opportunity to read it yet... I think reading is therapeutic... =)

The whole world is bored.. I keep seeing these words on people's blog.. You mean we have all transcended to this stage that we are BORED of HOLS??? But I don't exactly welcome school... Mwahahaha....

5 more days to may last day... Counting down is kinda hard... afterall, a day of work is like 9 to 10 hours... Kinda sucks.. but I'm not exactly complainging cause I get extra pocket money though I would actually love to alck more.. Wel.. optimistically, I have like 12 days after I quit to slack... I hope it is enough...

I'm thinking whether I should drop a course I bidded for next term... 6 modules, 5 credits... or 5 modules, 4 credits? Any advice?
This I gotta blog... Maybe this is why more and more teens are getting stressed...

Imagine overhearing a parent saying that she is gonna lock up the computer cause her child who is in lower secondary played the computer (with no Internet access) for 45 mins...

I felt like going up to her and telling her I spend much more time on it.. and your kid does not even surf the net lar... Just playing some game...

I can't fathom why such an act has to be met with such drastic action since this is the hols...

Wait a min... or is it just me?

You Are Strawberry Pocky
Your attitude: fresh and sweetComforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyperYou always see both sides to everything

What Flavor Pocky Are You?

My first foray into baking sth from scratch and not relying on Betty Crocker's pre-mix was not bad at all... My chocolate cheesecake turned out pretty okiez.. mwahahaha...

Tired.. shall sleep soon.. though i have been awake for less than 12 hours... Gotta work tmr... Maybe I'll go have my O'Brien's sandwich again... mwahahaha...

The good thing about having short hair.. it dries pretty fast compared to long hair... Once my hair dries, I'm hitting the bed!

had a good day today... I really like it when I go out with my family to walk walk, have dinner, shop around... Which was precisely what I did today! Except my brother was away at chalet enjoying himself lar...

But my parents, my sis and myself went down to town after my mum, sis and I attended this Children Christmas Party for single parent families. Cause my mum is part of this single parent group and she wanted to bring us there to help out. In the end, we were just sitting around and observing vause the organisers had everything planned and under control...

Yupz.. back to town... It was packed.. Like very.. and there was the ever-present and famous Orchard Road jam... Luckily we were not caught in it cause traffic was NOT moving at all... I kinda pitied the ppl in cab cause the meter would be like running and they will not be moving... and I think it may be faster if they walked or sth... Hahaha...

So we were just walking from taka to wisma and to tangs and back to taka for dinner... It's like just nice to spend some time with your family... amidst the hectic lives, when I dun see them for like much for the whole week excpet at night cause we are all at work or sth... and we are occupied with friends, other aspects of lives that we tend to take each other for granted and grow apart gradually as strangers... I've hears stories of how siblings treat each other as virtual strangers and stuff.. and I hope it won't happen to me lar...

Yup yupz... today was a nice day..

and my sis and I are gonna sink our hands in baking... mwahaha... cause we got this recipe book showing us all the wonderful things we can do with CHOCOLATE... YES!!! Whole book on chocolate cookies, cheesecake, ice cream and other desserts and stuff... So we shortlisted 2 cakes... bought the ingredients for Chocolate Fudge cake and Marble Cheesecake... sounds good ya... Okiez... if it turns out well.. den I'll be baking it more often... mwahahaha... hopefully those I noe will have 口福 to try them... Hiakz!!! And I hope this interest will last... mwahahaha...

Which was also why we went grocery shopping today... but after we bought back all the ingredients, we realised the eletric egg beater, which we had for like eons.. and not used for the past 10 years (at least) could not work.. I'm totally not surprised lar... mwahahaha... so tmr we r gonna get a new egg beater and then it is baking time! Watch this space for more updates on my experiment at baking from scratch!
Hectic week at work... Kinda wondering what the hell I'm doing back at work... Oh... you all simply must try the sandwiched at O'Briens. It is an Irish sandwich and coffee bar or so they claim... It is pricey lar... for 2 pieces of bread.. but quite generous servings... and choice of veggie... similar to subway... but a bit more ex... but it's good...

It's weird not to be enjoying myself during the hols... or rather, putting 9 plus 10 hours of my waking hours working... Everything has not changed... I see the same old faces... The same old bank tellers... I mean it is good cause it shows they have not lost their jobs... hahaha... but then again... It kinda scares me... I don't wanna be stuck in sth like that... Such a mundane life... But then again.. job security is what people want... Oh well.. that is too far...

I realised I haven't been to any job interviews at all for any jobs.. the closest i ever got was when I went to recruit express to ask them to put my name on the 'interested applicants' list... All the jobs I've had are all wither introed by people I know.. or I work for people I know... or both... I dunno wad to make out of it... But i htink it has it's pros and cons...

See ar... If that person know you, they tend to be not so harsh on you... but then again.. you may be doing a lot of things out of obligation... What makes the world tick?

Positive thinking: I'm working for the money.. Not that much anyway... but enough to pay my cab fare for next semester... (I'm Serious!!!) considering I took a cab to school almost every other day during the first term...

After backing up all my precious files from my laptop with the intention of bringing it to the CIT aka the Laptop Hospital, I didn't go.. and now that I've started work, I can forget about going... This sucks...

So many things to say.. yet dunno how to express it... Sianz...

Wednesday, December 01, 2004

Hmmmm... I'm going back to my 'favourite' company to work for 2 weeks... After all the 'I'm never going back there again!', I'll be starting work at the law firm again tomorrow... That's what I like about uni hols.. you don't have to worry about next semester's modules unnecessarily... no need to mug before hand... ok.. not that I did in sec sch and jc... but we had this thing called holiday homework then...

Oh well.. maybe i need that extra cash... or maybe I am just being nice.. hopefully everything will turn out fine... Yupz... and there goes my next 2 weeks.. no more meeting ups... and shopping trips.. unless you wanna meet me for dinner...

So maybe I should go buy my christmas cards soon and start writing them during lunch break in the office!

It's the end of exams!!! lalala... and...

*cues music* It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go... there is a tree in the grand hotel, one in the park as well, the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.. ow.. ow...

Haha... Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man's hat. If you haven't got a penny then a ha' penny will do, If you haven't got a ha'penny then God Bless You!

As you all can see, I'm in a Christamas-sy mood.. So many things to do... So many things to buy...

Oooh.. should go watch The Incredibles.. It is a very cute cartoon!!!

Thursday, November 25, 2004

Hmmm.. how come I can blog so much faster on my desktop compared to my laptop? Weird...

Anyway, Tmr's last day of exams!!! Yay!!! 1 month to meet up with frens... do up my blog, slack... Christmas! means presents and more money... $$$

5 more chapters to go... wish me luck...

Tuesday, November 23, 2004

Exams are driving me to do things that I don't usually do... Besides mugging.. hahaha...

Where oh where have all my time gone? Horror of Horrors!!! I have less than 19 hours to my first paper... Hmm... reminds of what i studied for psych.. this internal turmoil that is telling me to do stats and study psych and then there is ther other part of me who wants to go online and stuff... Hahaha....

*Gillian.. Go do stats! Don't Blog!*
Me: Ya.. Real soon....

Got mack one of the grades for my module... Quite satisfied with it.. now for the other 4.. .Hahaha... Have been getting B minus-es for psych... so not having my hopes too high... 80 MCQS!!! !Lemme reiterate my point! I hate papers with a lot of mcqs!!! 80 is way too much... after mugging psych the whole of last week, started doing stats yesterday.. and doing today... I feel so much better working with numbers (though i make a lot of careless mistakes) than looking at words.. Not that I don't like psych.. but I get a bigger sense of acheivement when I get the correct answers.. hahaha.. I'm narcissistic.. I need reassuarance and these little things to make me feel good... Mwahahaha....

Ok.. 1 more afternoon of stats and tonight I'll be mugging psych.. Still got 1 big chunk in the middle untouched.. and I don't exactly feel like touching them... Mwahahaha...

Oh ya.. i hope i can wake up tmr.. Morning Paper!!! DarN!!!! I wake up at 11 everyday.. if it happens tmr.. I'm mightily screwed... =)

Shout out: All the best to everyone who has exams....

Sunday, November 21, 2004

Mugging is the latest, coolest and most 'in' word!!! If you think so too, welcome to my world!!!

The dreaded 'E' word is here again... All the Best to people taking exams!!! It'll be over soon... Friday!!!

Anyway, just wanted to register a post on how I seriously can't believe some of the lucridous and weird theories some famous psychologists come up with!!! Yes!! The whole point is that they became famous from that theory!@!~! Bah! I can also come out with crap like the Oedipus complax and whatever in this case...

Hahaha... i think the thought psychology has consumed too much of my brains.. sadly... It's almost 4! WoW! Record... Great.. need to adjust my Circadian rhythm (another psych term for body clock) back in time for exams...

Wednesday, November 17, 2004

I can't seem to republish my blog.. Oh well.. figure it out later.. shall nap then go study... and I'm in school.. Hahaha.... everyone around me is mugging.. only my in front of my ocmputer playing games... Oops....

Tuesday, November 16, 2004

I spent a rather fruitful afternoon in school mugging.. and well.. crapping .. Hahaha... But at least i did sth.. and i spent the rest of the night playing some lousy game (Heroes 3) and I still can't pass that elusive last level. Bah! What a waste of my time! Should have played my stupid cow game instead...

FYI, Heroes is basically a war game whereby you gotta build your troops and fight with opposing troops controlled by the computer... And my hero got killed.. SaD... maybe I should try it after my exams...

blogger takes eons to load nowadays... so wols... Tmr will be another of mugging in the school lib.. and i better go sleep like now.. tmr got lesson (Psych review) at 9 am!!! THAT is FREAKING early!!! considering my be dtime is from 3 to 11 the last few days...

Made up my mind not to go Hong Kong.. Bah! Too many uncertainties and doubts! Hope I don't regret.. well, too late even if I do... Mwahahaha....

Karaok-ing is therapeutic i tell you!!! If only it will be cheaper...

Was thinking of going carolling. It is like some part of my life liaoz... but then again, it's like I dun even keep in touch with any of them... So? Go and be a loner again? Sighz... i hate that!!! So bloody no point lor... den make small talk to people I know? Meaningless.. seriously reconsidering my decision... maybe if i'm optimistic, then suddenly, our frequency and wavelength will be on the same level and we will talk normally? Bah!

Ironic now that I think of it... I think I am closer to someone whom I just met in uni (ie for about 3 mths) as compared to some other people I know for 2 years... Sad huh? Different attitude? I suppose so... It is just me... too bad for you if I have don't have a good first impression of you...
