So many things to blog about... I've moved, last week of school, last class in SMU...

But.. i'm still busy with school stuff... will try to retain those memories and blog them down later..

I'm preparing for my last presentation in SMU.. and it's MAJOR... Oral defense for my thesis.. May my brain be able to work at 9am tomorrow and I hope my examiners won't throw me tough questions that I can't answer.

Oh.. another reason why I'm blogging this...

Random trivial:
Just read that Jay (Chou) stayed up till 6am the night before his Taipei concert. And he was sick. Plus, right after that, he filmed 通宵 for the MV for one of his songs - i think it's 扯 - before heading over to China to do sth else.

Updates updates updates...

Well.. one week ago, I went for HIS concert!

Jay Chou!

Hahaha.. this is what seats at ROW 6 yielded! Hahaha... to be able to see him walk past you like barely one metre away and the chance to his sleeve... as that's what Yuanshan did... Yeah... just wanted to note that I was at Row 6!!!

Doesn't he look good playing the drums?

Ya... so I spent the past 1 week in lala Jay Chou land... but I'm glad to say I'm snapping out of it... After a mega Jay Chou ktv session with the gassy gals...

So... on the school front, I'm proud to say that the first draft of my Thesis study is up!!! Yep! managed to put the study on this computer programme... SO just need to troubleshoot it, make it more aesthetically pleasing and I'm ready to run my study!!! yeah!!!

Taking 3 mods makes me more slack... Or rather, it gives me the illusion that I have a lot of free time! But at least I make use of some of them to do my Ethics reading... I think Ethics is a rather 'crappable' subject... Give a company an ethical dilemma.... and then... who to consider? why should you consider this and why not that.... Principles and theories...

For Psych of Reasoning and Thinking, we have to read 1 journal article a week... and then prepare a presentation explaining the study conducted in the article. We would then be randomly picked to present the article. I was 'lucky' enough to be randomly chosen to present for the past 2 weeks liao...

Capstone has been stagnant cause we haven't had any talks yet... So now.. time to start doing some revision and what not...

Ok.. ending this post with yet another of the pics taken... I dunno whether I love my camera more or the seats I had. Hahahaha...

Week one of my final sem in uni came and went. Although only doing 3 mods this sem, but deadlines seem to be pretty tight with my thesis, commentaries and papers all due very close to each other. But must cherish this last semester...

What else have I been busy with? Nothing much actually. I got a new phone! Wahahahhas.. it's a Motorola v9. Pretty ok.. and I like it cause its slick and I like the rather unique mahagony colour.

I finally got approval to run my thesis study! Whoots!!! Haven't been that excited at receiving an email for some time liao. Cause I have been worried that they would reject the proposal and stuff. But all's well in the end!

A whole new sem ahead.. looking forward to meet some people whom I haven't seen in a while. Yeah.. that means you Val! Hahaha.. taking modules with many friends I've made over the past 3.5 years, every class is like a gathering. Here's to a funfilled sem!

Happy New Year!!! Ok.. my new year greetings always comes a bit later than the 1st Jan.

I was just looking through my archives... I've been blogging for 4 and a half years. That's quite a lot of things to say. From the 2nd half of my JC years to now, when I'm entering my last sem at Uni.

Well.. wishes for the new year...

• I guess to be more focussed - work on my thesis and the last 3 modules of my undergrad life
• To find a job - hoping, wishing, maybe an overseas posting? More importantly though, I hope it is work that I enjoy and in a company where I will be given opportunities to grow.
• To better appreciate and love the people around me - family, friends.
• Try not to procrastinate too much...

And now... looking back at 2007 so that I can draw a close to the year...

Having spent almost 5 months out of Singapore, I guess the highlight of the year would be my exchange to Switzerland... Looking at these pics of gorgeous scenary never fails to make me smile... :)

Bellinzona - in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland.

Rheinfalls

Interlaken, Switzerland

And then, there's the thrill of working on my senior thesis albeit all the hard work. Getting approval, working out the kinks and details... another sem to slog it out...

My recent trip to Hongkong with Siyi and Ade, meeting Mabel there and meeting up with Sea and Charlotte, friends I met on exchange. Heh... Watching Jay Chou which set me off on a mini Jay Chou craze...

And I think more importantly, having quite a bit of 'me-time' for December. So apologies if I seem anti-social and stuff. First, I got a handphone that loses my smses and can't msg very well. But I had time to recharge and slack... A wonderful Christmas and New Year.

And now.. onward to a New Year! I just have to settle that dratted IRB application... heh...

Serious damage control needed. Can't do anything about midterms which have come and gone. Will work towards the rest of the stuff - presentation, papers and finals...

It's after the mid term break liao.

Need. to. focus.

Was busy with my pilot study and studying for developmental psych towards the end of the midterm break. Dev psych midterm is finally over.. so now.. time to start clearing reports and projects. SMuggerhood, here i come!

Term break came and went...

While I tried to enjoy myself and cut myself some slack, I also spent time worry and agonising over my thesis, something which I'm kicking myself for taking it up, and yet enjoying certain parts of the process. It's seriously a love-hate relationship.

However, as Siyi puts it, I think i will be 'damn proud' of it after I finish it. I'll let you know when I do...

Then there's research for my org change mod on Apple... and dev psych midterms on Wed... Need.to.pia.

Been hanging out in the wellness centre in the capacity of friend of friends when I can't get a room. A bit more to go and my pilot will be almost ready.
