Heh Heh... I'm in a pleasantly good mood today... Feeling happy and satisfied for not really good reason... (I mean when you still have 1 more presentation to go and 1 more project meeting, how happy can you get? ) Haha.. But i'm feeling so happy now... Maybe it has to do with the fact I just woke up from a well-deserved nap~!~
Yay!!! I look forward to friday.. then I can get a break... Yes.. I bet i'll be either back in school like half the time doing projects or trying to study pscho. (we started on social psychology today and I think it is sooooo... interesting!) Haha... and stats.. got test after mid term.. but like finally, all the group project stuff is almost done (still got lar.. but not that bad) At least I know I won't get so pissed with myself! =)
Hmmmm... I found someone who likes to b*tch too!! So we were like dissing our proj mates cause they can get annoying at times.. but let's not go into too much elaboration here... I mean I'm not gonna shoot them the next time i see them or sth lar.. we still can work... and let's just leave it at that...
Mamma Mia!!! Going on Sunday!! Yay!!! And i got the tix at student price.. worth it lar... i think the show would be good...
'Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only 17...'
Haha... I will be find soon... as soon as after tmr... serious!!! =)

You aren't a faerie at all! You are a Pixie! You
enjoy tormenting your faerie cousins, or
anything that sparks an interest. Trouble is
your middle name, you love it. You do not know
the meaning of consequences, or you just don't
care. You can play off at being a faerie, you
can be anything you want. Your moods change
from day to day, or minute to minute. For some
reason people like you, or you like people. No
one really knows the answer. You're a mystery
to yourself, but you like mysteries... The
world is your playground, you have fun playing.
What's your inner Faerie?

Gillian is in a freaking bad mood after spending 4 hours on a project meeting in the sweltering heat.. And I am very certain the heat was not the main culprit!!!
Allow me to indulge myself in some good natured whining!!! How would you feel when something you spent 6 hours on a sat afternoon doing was flushed down the toilet bowl and washed into the deep blue sea??? Yes.. like what I am feeling now... freaking pissed... Actually I learnt a lot from doing the movie on sat... but that is inconsequential! It was like they didn't even give a bloody damn about what I did... and changed the whole concept of the presentation... Tell me why then did I stay back for 3 hours last wednesday discussing the same presentation when all the ideas we discussed were thrown out of the window!?! I mean you could at least read the minutes and consider our suggestions before tossing them out... or hear what we had to say instead of coming up with a brand new action plan yourself!!! And cut the crap about the 'group' deciding on certain aspects when 3 persons went out to get lunch for a couple of minutes...
Woo~!~ I feel so much better now... I could have screamed my head off la... Anyway, got back my horrendous psycho test.. did better than I expected... Mwahahaha... and I'm gonna get 1 more mark! Cause she marked wrongly... which brought my total up by 1 grade! Yay!!!

Hmmmm.. i"m mightily amused!!! I'm currently in the school library trying to kill time and charging my laptop batt and supposedly looking for info for my political science paper and obviously chatting on msn... I'm sitting in those cubicle-liked seat... suppose to aid concentration... but i udn think it works... andyway, that's not the main point... ade msn-ed me regarding the politicla science paper... and then i realised she was also in the lib studying!!! Den ar... She was just at the next aisle... as in we were sitting diagonally face to face... Seperated by a wall... not bad huh?
"You!!! Supposed to be studying!!! Not blogging!! or Chatting!!! Go! Go! Go!!! you got loads of stuff to do!!!"
Oh.. that was just my conscious trying to get me to turn off my msn and to start surfing for information and not useless stuff.... Sianz... i know it is lame.... but yeah... my brains are fried... actually, I haven't been myself since the psycho test on Wed.. I need a good long sleep.... and must be REM sleep... oh well.. nvm.... psycho stuff...
Getting into action for my project later.. that's why i'm in school... I'm feeling horribly guilty cause i have been taking a lot of cabs to school.... Haha.. I shall cure myself of the bad habit soon....

Hmmmmm.. I'm back... after being silent for errr... 9 days... More on the idiosyncrasies going on in my oh-so-busy life... just woke up from a well-needed nap... i think my muscles are stiff and not coordinating cause i have some problems typing... Oh well... it's been an emotional and draining (or issit emotionally draining yet i dun think it was dat emotional.... maybe physically draining ba...) day...
Lemme whine about the psycho test i had... 70 MCQ QUSTIONS!!!!! ARGHHH!!! NUTS OR WHAT??? Still got 3 essay questions.. all in the span of 90 MINS!!! Hmmm... feels much better after that ranting.. Oh well... which means I dun harbour very high hopes of doing exceptionally well for this particular test.. and i better start studying for the next one... (okiez.. just kidding.. given my slack nature.. I'll start thinking about the next one when it draws nearer... speaking of which, I dunno when it'll be lar... ) *Poof!* There goes 20% of my final grade...
Other than that, I think I'm coping pretty well given the perils of being in a project-based, American styled university... My project presentation today was not exactly great but passable, and most of them are quite on schedule i think...
I miss people!!! My timetable clashes with the rest of the world like crazy... or have i whined about this before... Anyway, there is nth good on tv anymore... There's Amazing Race later... but i just read the synopsis of today's episode.. Shhhh.... Just felt bored ma... Anyway, gotta do reading for political science... Been spending too much time on project meetings and studying for the psycho test...
I need to get a grip on my life... it's slipping away from me... being buried under the piles of work... which reminds me i gotta start filing up all my notes soon... they are in stacks in my room... So what else is new?? I'm glad i took the time out to watch 13 going on 30... Not a fantastic show.. but ok for the $6.50 I paid... Absurd I guess... Haha... but it was fun just chilling out... Hmmm... and Collateral died... i tot it'll be on longer since Tom Cruise acted in it... Maybe they chose to release it at the wrong time....
I need to prioritise and organise... which i suppose means not spending so much time at my favourite spot typing silly things like this into the computer... I take my hat off to those who wants to run for SA, join tons of CCA and still seemingly cope rather well with their workload... *Envious* I wonder how they do it... maybe they dun spend as much time slacking like I do... but well... I NEED A LIFE... Even if they dun...
I just scrolled up and spotted a million spelling errors which is like way off... not just pressing the wrong buttons... my fingers just refuses to type what my brain is thinking... or there is sth wrong with it's 'aiming' skills today... Hmmm.. I do have an theory about what is happening after extensive study of the brain.. but i shall not bore you with the boring facts... see.. gibberish again...
Okiez... I'm dying to go ktv and belt out a song or two.... for maybe a couple of hours... any takers?

Oh ya... and i forgot to mention that the lighting at Zouk creates this luminous effect on white/light coloured stuff... so some ppl would wear white and attract attention lar... but some had quite a nice effect to the clothing. and from my frens, my brown hair looked grey... and my eyes looked weird... Haha... oh! your teeth gets illuminated too... Haha.. quite freaky though...
Speaking of clothing, i dunno wad to say.. maybe i'm conservative or sth.. but there were a few ppl who just erm... wore practically nth?? Try picturing a halter top that has a plunging neckline, tied only at the back, and just covers your bra... Hmmmm... I bet my mum'll kill me if i ever dare wear sth like dat out of the house....

Oh ya.. and to continue my clunning experience... Hmmm... saw the 'ugly' side of it as well... there was this girl who was being carried out by a guy... dunno if she fainted or was too drunk or sth.. quite unsightly la... not to mention she was wearing a skirt... so erm... was quite exposed...
Den there was puke on the floor... haha... and i heard someone i met was so dead drunk, her friends had to bring her out for a walk...
Hmmm... But i think dancing can burn calories... imagine bouncing to music for like 1 hour without realising that time actually passes so quickly... But it was the sea of people tt was quite scary... you just get pushed around and squashed when ppl try to walk past...
If you wanna just go clubbing for the alcohol, you might as well go to a pub/bar... at least there got nice music... clubbing more for dancing lar... you can't hear each other above the loud and heavy music... so no point trying to have conversations... haha... experience la...

Cubbing Experience:
Haha.... Went to Zouk yesterday... freshmen bash!Well, what would you say to a mass of people, sticking close to each other bobbing/bouncing to the music?? It was fun... the music they played was very loud and you can hear the thump of every single beat... Not to mention the place was generally dark with the occassional spotlight flashing...

What i disappointment.. Khorkina's routine during the uneven bars finals was disrupted and it ended her quest to be the 1st gymnast to win the event 3 consecutive times or sth like dat.. Sianz... but i suppose that's how the sports arena is like... you win some, you lose some.
Ok.. i think I'm over olympics liaoz cause the events lined up for the next week looks quite boring.. Sigh... after the long 4 year wait, it's gonne be over in 2 weeks and we gotta wait for another 4 years... Beijing 2008! not bad huh???
This Olympics... stars: Michael Phelps!!! he's like the most promising guy out there...
Shall spend my time catching up on my readings... the brain is a complicated organ... and the argument about brain and mind is like some philosophy thing... it goes in circles!!! which reminds me, i gotta start reading this 60 over pages thing for political science...
IN school now, making use of their electricity to charge my laptop battery and to use the net here... mwahahaha!!! staying behind for some gathering for band... still dunno wad to join.. but just trying things that i have an interest in...
Stats earlier was a bore...

I'm going to the airport, the airport, the airport... I'm going to the airport to eat Swensons!!! Haha... ok.. i know that's quite lame... But yeah... really looking forward to the trip to the far far east later!~! Speaking of which, i better make this entry short and sweet cause I'm gonna be late if i dun... Haha...
Yeah... stayed awake till 4 last night getting tennis updates.... Bah!!! Mediacorp, the official Olympics Channel decided not to show the women's semifinal match between Justine Henin Hardenne and Anastasia Myskina... choosing instead to show like 2 female soccer matches!!! Arghz!!!! So I was getting the results via some chatroom... and it was a vey epic match!!! But Justine won!!! Yay!!! She was on the brink of defeat.. but fought back like crazy!!! Hahaha....
Oh.. and Svetlana Khorkina didn't manage to win the Gold for All- Around... Gotta admit though tt Pattison (the winner's) floor routine was only slightly better... Haha.. I'm biased... but i think there is some bias in the judges scoring.. but I'm also not a trained judge.. so i would not know.. Haha... she has one more event left! The Uneven Bars finals!! I hope she gets Gold... I remembered that last Olympics, she fell off the uneven bars during the team finals... scary can~!~ HAha... Phelps!!! Stunning victory in the 100m butterfly!!! Darn.. today swimming last day liaoz... Tennis women singles finals also today... OH ya!! Did i mention that I dun think Mediacorp is showing it again... Bah!!!

Athens OLYMPIC round-Up!
Oh no!!! Susilo crashed out of the Olympics! Darn! and it was a good chance for him to get a medal since all the top seeds were out... guess it's not meant to be... but yeah.. could see from his face that he was very tired... ther ewasn't this *sparkle* or fight back or anything... but yeah... too many times, the shuttlecock just bounced off the net... Sianz..
Singapore medal hopes are now on Li Jiawei... Haha.. couldn't stand her Jap opponent yesterday... Her opponent was yelping and screeching at almost every point and it was annoying~!~
I lurve gymnastics! but only watch the women's competition... see how graceful they can be... my fav apparatus is the uneven bars... yeah... mainly cause Svetlana Khorkina of Russia is known as the 'Queen of Bars' Haha... she's gunning for her 3rd consecutive GoLd on uneven bars... but seems like she's facing some tough competition... I liked her since Sydney 2000... Lurve her gracefulness and the fact that she has managed to become a successful gymnast even though she is 1.64 m.. too tall for a gymnast... I think she's a 5 time European all-round champion or sth... Not to mention this is gonna be her last Olympics... I hope she will do well in the Individual all round and for the uneven bars finals... Jiayou!!!
And yeah... tennis... Justine Henin Hardenne from Belgium is on course for her 1st Olympic Gold after being out of competition for the past 4 or 5 mths... She was down with a virus infection or sth.... but there are still tougher opponents out there... I like her cause she's short for a tennis player but she can still outplay her taller and more powerful opponents! Way to go Juju!!!
Hmmmm... i just realise i admire ppl who can outdo their competitors even though they are physically disadvantaged... (Like Khorkina being a tall gymnast and Justine a short tennis player...)
But yeah... so i MUST mention this.. last night's amazing race!!! Charla and Mirna got eliminated... can't say i like them a lot... but i really take my hat off to Charla... She set out to show the world that despite being struck with a form of dwarfism, she is still able to go all out and compete!!! I admire her courage, her tenancity, her strongwill and everything... but can't stand her team-mate though... really cannot make it lar... it's like she's always whining and moaning and to a certain extent, she pushes ALL the roadblock that she doesn't want to do to Charla... I dun remember her doing a lot of Roadblocks... Charla did the eating choco, went underground and ate ostrich egg... and Mirna sort of 'forced' Charla to choose the Roulette detour in the very first episode cause she seems to be some addict... Yeah... and i din like the fact Charla made use of her dwarfism to get airline tickets first...
And i think Charla and Mirna keeps thinking that the other teams look down on Charla's handicap but it does not seem like the case... They feel tt other teams are up to no good and everything.. and Mirna was b*tchy enuf to ask the ticketing guy not to give the rest of the groups any tix.... Seems like a very malicious person lor... But not tt Colin and Christie were not at fault... but yeah....
Later they are showing tennis and gymnastics on TV!!! Yay!!! yeah.. betta go do my research and hw first...
