  • Read (past tense)

    Reading is something i no longer engage in.

    I don't even read novels anymore

     

    time to start on The History of Love again!

    I really want to read The perks of being a wallflower too!

    reminded of it since the movie's coming out..

    ah wells.

    too little time too many things!!!

     

    haiyo. but must study hard?

    how to study for economics? (or practice since it's math -.-)

    should i subscribe to The Economist?

     

    aah.. questions that i don't have answers to.

    need some enlightenment right here.

    feelings of inadequacy will do me no good!

     

    TIME TO FEEL EMPOWERED!

  • Moving On..

    It's out with the old, in with the new! Goodbye skies of gray, Hello skies of blue!

    Anyway, apart from Aries (who just confirmed her readership, haha), i'm not too sure who else reads this space but whoever you are, I'm sure I know who you are and you know what I've been going through. So yeah, just a space for me to rant as usual, and process the thoughts through my (possibly very tiny) brain.

    SOOOOOO, 23rd November, the day STATS 151 ended!!! I used to joke/ still will joke that Stats 151 is numerically larger than Stats 101 by 50. so it's urh, harder. The paper was really tough :( I thought i was prepared, but i guess the paper proved me wrong.  SinceIi relied mostly on eye power, I think i could have practiced a lot more, but if I had done so, I would have compromised my well-being. So i didn't.

    On hindsight now, it would have been academically beneficial, especially with repeated questions that i unfortunately failed to answer. Tried to keep calm during the paper but honestly i couldn't stop my hands from shaking as i keyed in the values in the calculatorS. Yes, i used two, somewhat simultaneously. Trying hard not to think about those silly mistakes right now and also..

    I'm trying hard not to expect anything, especially from a paper that i screwed up so badly.

    I'm trying hard not to feel obliged to get a B just so my GPA will be decent

    I'm trying hard not to be so concerned about my grades and be more concerned about living life.

    Then again, it isn't "I'm not expecting.. I don't feel obliged nor is it I'm not concerned.. and am more concerned.."

    I'm trying and maybe i should try harder. I will try harder if there's a resolution i have to make by today.

    Sometimes i think i must treat myself better, indulge in something of some sorts? I don't know, next update would include a list of Things I Indulge in, or so i hope. oh wait, exams will be over, haha. Maybe next semester?

     

    Writing is quite therapeutic actually, i've neglected this space for far too long and I think it's about time to get started again. Not really writing virtually about virtually every outing i had like in the past, but more of typing down my thoughts. It's going to be really boring, without any pictures and all, but i guess that's what my tumblr/facebook is for. Too much memories have been stored here. 

     

    As for living life, I'm really quite unsure about my career path, especially with what i want to do. For now, life is uninteresting and i don't seem to have a particular flair for anything. Quite demoralising?

    However, I do know what I want my quality of life to be like and it includes a lot of materialistic wants. It should come as no surprise that my main reason as to why i chose to remain where i am right now is the supposed financial prospects it comes attached with. Watching a video of Steve Jobs giving a speech on how we should be living life and that at the end of the day, doing what you're interested in will make all the difference was not very uplifting but instead leaving me with a heavy heart. This is very much in line with what everyone is saying- casting aside all your doubts and things like that. People however, are afraid of change. I am. I lack the guts to do something so radical in my opinion and more importantly, i'm still lost myself, not knowing what i really like to do. What if i transfer and end up equally unhappy/ regret my choice in time to come? I don't really like studying actually. So maybe it's not the courses but just me. I don't feel the excitement about acquiring knowledge. Anyway someone once told me: "I always see you taking down notes all the time but why is it that you never class part?" I mean, i don't know whether it's because I can't think on my feet quick enough or is it because i'm too dense? It also made me realised that I'm not learning to my fullest potential because I'm not "thinking effectively" and this includes questioning the statements or ideas or whatever. Note to self to revolutionize learning style. Haha, easier said than done.

     

    Oh, actually while typing, i realised... maybe I will like the finance modules? It's not really something you question, those steps you learn how to evaluate companies and all? quite.. systematic? haha omg, i don't even know what finance modules enail, but i guess that's a start. A competitive road, though. Grr and not a road economics students can easily embark on. 

     

    That aside, I just want to say, I'm really thankful one paper is over. No longer will I have to pore over the textbook/notes/formula sheet or lug the textbook around (which i hardly use). Till next post, likely on friday. Happiest day of my life, ever. For now, I shall "indulge" in MFE. shy

    Inspiration in the middle!!! and Friends who have made my school life so much more bearable :)

    (eh Aries you too, but you mia)

     

    With that, I shall let go and let God.

    xoxo

  • SLEEP, or not

    i just did a mini spring cleaning.
    i really hate silver fishes !!! they're like so slimy and gross and disgusting.
    may this weblog serve to remind me, NEVER LEAVE PAPERS LYING AROUND

    so i was clearing some of my jc shit.
    i kept math, cos i might need it, esp differentiation and integration.
    (DAMMIT UNIS, CALL ME, MAIL ME !!! )

    found my geog handy dandy book, the one that helped me secure an A !!! WAAAAHOOOO!
    gona read it later, maybe (to bore myself to sleep, or not)

    i kept chemistry because.. i can't bear to throw it away
    BUT DAMN, I DID THE WORST FOR CHEM.
    I HATE CHUUUUU.
    the only chemistry i like now, is probably the chemistry i share between peeple *aww*

    so anyway, work at uss has been awesome.
    please tell me if you're coming to the park, spice up my work life.
    the only reason why i'm still here is because i'm a lounge girl tomorrow, a waterworld lounge girl.
    of course, the spring cleaning thing kept me up. not a wise decision to do it but the damage is done!
    especially to my face.
    stupid late nights.
    kena designer bags under my eyes and ugly face.

    oh wells,
    next in line to be cleaned out will be my closet.
    but that'll take awhile.. the mere thought sends shivers down, not only my spine but my entire back :O
    even ME with the most severe OCD (exaggerating) dare not take up the challenge.

    but basically, after work, i was going home with yan ning and kailing
    BAM
    eh? *hot air rushes in*
    you see, like any other cool person, we headed for the cool back seats
    but apparently it wasn't that cool anymore when the entire glass panel behind us fell

    AND smashed into smithereens!!!
    like i seriously saw it crashing, not into anyone/ any car, thankfully.
    IMG00124-20100430-1947
    so there, i was still happily seated there until it dawned upon me that my life was possibly in peril
    HEHE but i was mega excited.
    wowww.. snapping pictures and all.
    okay that's all.

    good night/ good morning.

    p.s, GO TO AWFULLY CHOCOLATE TO EAT CAKES !!!
    SO GOOD!!!

  • WOW

    So many months have passed (well, just two) and I'm back here.
    nothing much to do on a Friday.
    just waiting around for Aries.

    Should be exercising tonight, or so i hope
    With the release of results not too long ago, it has got to be one of the greatest disappointment I ever faced.
    Of course, with time, everything sank in and all I hope now is to get the call from SMU or the acceptance letter from NUS !!!
    so I'm realllly praying hard.

    With an update on Universal Studios, I really enjoy my work there !!!
    This is my favourite job ever :D
    Well, that's about it, after such a long hiatus, I'm not exactly into the mood.
    everything's pretty much written on my schedule book!
    which smells like my favourite perfume - ALIEN by theirry mugler.

    being such a bum, here's an excerpt from weiru's blog that summarizes my week.

    Mon: FAIL DAY w Daphne, Xinjie, Jamie and Valerie!! Was planning on a dimsum buffet @ Miramar Hotel BUT the restaurant closed down. Zzz. Changed plans to Excelsior Shopping Centre BUT the place is closed for renovations. Zzz. Changed (again!) to Jalan Besar's ala carte (See, we were desperate!) dimsum coffee shop BUT it was only gna open at 6pm. Zzz. FAIL.

    Ended up at Novena's Laobeijing! Sat from 1pm to 3pm cos the buffet only starts at 3! Had pretty good Peking duck while waiting. ^^ To our dismay, the buffet wasnt exactly good.. Only the xlbs were not bad I guess. :/ But I guess it was btr than nothing at all!!

    Headed down to Lido (without Val) for TheLovelyBones. The show was... epic. HAHA. It was scary (Ok only cos we're noobs k) and freaking funny at the same time!! To quote Daphne, it's like watching suspense with bits of Alice in Wonderland every now and then! ^^ Amazing day much?

    After the movie, Xj's mom drove Xj and I to Westmall. Xj got her new BB Bold2 and we went for dinner at Sakae! Lastly, her momma drove me homma! HA.

  • yep, another update. but not what you friends expect.
    just something to make yall laugh when you're bored!!!

    because this space should only be visited when bored, unless if you're not normuh

    i'm such a thoughtful friend
    so here, THINGS TO DO IN A LIFT


    1)CRACK open your bag, peer Inside and ask “Got enough air
    in there?”

    2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting
    off.

    3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open,
    then act as if you’re embarrassed when they open themselves.

    4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you
    Admiral.

    5) MEOW occasionally.

    6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: “You’re
    one of THEM” – and back away slowly

    7) SAY -DING at each floor.

    8) SAY “I wonder what all these do?” And push all the buttons.

    9) MAKE explosion noises when someone presses a button.

    10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: “I have
    new socks on.”

    11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: “Is that your beeper?”

    12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.

    13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other
    passengers: “This is my personal space.”

    14) WHEN there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the
    shoulder, then pretend it wasn’t you.

    15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back
    for more.

    16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.

    17) HOLD the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After a
    while, let the doors close and say “Hi Greg, How’s your day been?”

    18) DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then
    scream: “That’s mine!”

    19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.

    20) PRETEND you’re a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and
    exits with the Passengers.

    21) SWAT at flies that don’t exist.

    22) CALL out “Group hug” then enforce it.

    23) When the lift is going down scream “we’re gonna die”

    SO FRIENDS, I HOPE YOU GUYS KILLED SOME TIME.
    PLEASE CALL ME AND LET'S TAKE A LIFT TOGETHER SOON


    PISSS OUTTTT!

  • AT WORK, CRYING

    not literally crying. i'm just bored to tears.
    i feel like a dumbshit estimating the TOP dates for projects all over singapore (those unknown, of course)

    doesn't help that i accidentally deleted about half of my data..
    so i now have to redo everything, much to my despair.
    i don't really feel like doing it. meh

    but i have to!!!
    cos wednesday's my last day.. and i don't want to leave learning "nothing"
    ugh.

    on the bright side, i'll have 5 days of break after this internship!!!
    till i start work at Universal Studios
    amazing much.

    plus tuition on the 30th! Teaching English.
    Going to have to make sure i stop mispelling words on purpose/talk in a retarded way.
    sigh, though i weally enjoy it.
    hope i get nice and good kids

    hrm, to sum up my 2009 in general
    (in details, i.e major/significant events shall be dealt with later, preferably a day i feel like reminiscing the past and spamming photos and a good internet connection day )

    I guess it was prety shitty studying for A levels.
    especially when i set out to achieve so much only to be disappointed by my lack of discipline/stupidity/whatever.
    Lezz not talk about academics even though i think about it from time to time.
    Dreaming about my straight As and sometimes praying it will become reality

    Of course, academics aside, i'm vair vair pleased to have gotten closer to the class as a whole !
    Made meaningful friendships and forged some strong bonds there.
    sort of like the reason why i go to school because people like Lidya would make my day, even if it means her being lame
    not to forget the usual few i hang out with in class like Agnes and Genevieve! in fact, not a few!
    sometimes people stay back to study/ go back to school for consultations..
    like alexis, dawn, wanmei, jeremy and ruixiang
    its all very nice, really.

    Too bad not much contact has been made with the other girls.
    hopefully we'll have this really successful class party or something with Jasmine in charge of games again!
    that way no one will feel bored or split up into their usual cliques.

    so yeah, even though i know none of the classymates visit this space, i think it can be said to be a resolution of mine to keep in touch with them, even if its minimal or whatsoever. hoorah !

     

    Another major component of school would be my CCA! Dance!
    its kinda amazing how everyone in dance truly care for each other, sometimes i myself find it hard to believe and may even be skeptical. but of course, with time i was sorta convinced especially with Restless, definitely the highlight!!!
    idk why but when the juniors came in, the J2 batch became much tighter, or so i feel.
    of course, there were sad moments in the club because i've always felt like a wallpaper and feeling pretty crappy most of the time.
    BUTT THEN, there was Nat and Chrislynn and a lot more people like Esther who made me made feel mucho loved.
    Even though i may not be very very close to the dancers, but i think we are definitely comfortable in each other's presence and dance outings are bound to be fun !!!
    double hoorah for such wonderful people!
    as such, this group of people should be added into my very first resolution of "People to keep in touch with "

    funny thing is, i don't really have a list of resolutions.
    Maybe i should have one.
    Till next post!

    PISS OUTTTT

  • Xanga ?

    Xanga, a thing of the past.
    perhaps not many are checking out this space anymore, except for Elaine and Weiru  
    remembering why i got xanga, i must admit the emoticons still do have their appeal  
    so cute onez!

    anyhoo, i remember i was blogging at home.
    then i had to go out, so i shut down my lappy, much to my horror that my post was well, obviously..
    NOT PUBLISHED

    almost had to keel myself.

    i uploaded photos
    guess i'll get down to re-writing that very post plus a summary of 2009 filled with memorable events
    stay tuned folks!
    i mean, weiru and elaine.

    this actually feels quite nice
    shall attempt to do it more often.
    writing nonsense.
    well not really but its like i'm talking to myself a little.
    I KNOW!
    I'll upload pictures from tumblr here too.
    those i really really like

     

    PISS OUTT!!!

  • In The Midst of As.

    i suppose i'll never feel this way again.
    probably not to such an extent.
    or maybe when i'm doing my final year paper...
    hrm..

    the feeling of not doing as well as expected kinda sucks.
    i imagined both scenarios, a perfect score with all As
    and then another scenario with AAB after math
    and then today after chemistry, maybe an ABB
    with econs left tomorrow, i can't help but to imagine BBB
    not forgetting my H1s too which are pretty uncertain,
    especially for General Paper, which i badly want an A for.

    you know how they say, no one cares about your psle grade,  your o level grade and your A level grade but just the final degree.
    but what if i didn't want that degree in the first place?

    i wouldn't say suffering from disappointment twice was very pleasant too.
    or maybe i just put way too much pressure on myself to achieve unrealistic scores.
    i'm not even defined by my grades but i still feel this way.
    sucks to be me.

    Despite all these negative thoughts, the only positive one is that - God will make a way.
    even where there seems to be no way.
    and.. perhaps prayers will be answered and miracles could happen and everything will be A!!!
    or at least, getting into a course i desire. or, a course i'm destined for.

  • i guess, this is it.
    the end is drawing near.

    what i really have to do right now is to totally get into the studying mood.
    not much blogging these days.
    more of tumblr-ing because tumblr is awesome
    sorry xanga. i'll love you once again on the 23rd of Nov.
    well, so much has happened within this month or like, weeks or whatever.

    i'm not even sure whether i can pinpoint my exact feelings at that point of time with regards to outings and what-nots.
    but i'm quite sure i was happy during those moments.
    i do make it a point to experience joy whenever i can.
    hahaha, even if it means doing retarded things.
    because when i'm older i can't afford to be retarded anymore T.T

    anyway,
    its late and i'm not sleeping. sometimes you're tired but staying up is like, habitual.
    which isn't very good..
    all these personal expectations weighing down, oh when will i ever learn?
    will i ever be satisfied ?
    and its not like i'm even doing anything substantial.
    what is wrong with me ?

    all these questions with not an answer in sight.
    with that, good night.
