From Sunrise... To Sunset...

Moving and Beach Adventures!!

I promised I would blog tonight and I am!! From Aubrey's computer... It was a fun and tiring day...

Last night slept with only the mattress protector, almost froze to death la.. Didn't sleep well. Slept at 1am, woke up 8am.. Slack online, then 9+ move stuff into the storage locker.. Last minute stuff.. 10+ was watching TV and finishing my PBJ crackers..

Then around 11+ Debbie had to help Bern move his stuff, so she dropped off her stuff at my place for me to move to Aubrey's later.. And then I waited to borrow a cart for moving, waited a damn half an hour =.= End up Michael returned one and I took it LOL.

Moved my one luggage, Debbie's 2 luggages, her 10 million plastic bags of stuff (okay la, only about 4, and one I stuffed into my almost-empty luggage so it was easier to carry), and our 2 laptops... Pushed it all to Marine Drive BY MYSELF!!! I'm so pro la..

Moved to Aubrey's place le, then go back Vanier return and check out.. Awww I'll miss Vanier even though I don;t wanna live there anymore.. Went back to Aubrey's place, had some chicken soup then went out to Brock Hall get some letter, and then go bus loop meet Debbie.. Was calling Debbie like siao all morning..

That was around 2pm liao.. We took bus to West Vancouver, and then went to Park Royal to lunch.. And then we all had chicken and beef combo.. Damn nice and worth it, only $6+, less than $7 for so much food!!! And was so thirsty that I got a lychee drink from the supermarket (~$1)..

Then finish eating around 4pm? Then went to the beach!!! Walked around, had fun, took pics of everything, took pics of fun poses.. Hehehe.. Good ones include me kissing a dragon.. Hahahaha. Will upload once I get the pics.. =)

My silly camera dropped not once, but TWICE on the sand and it's still working. I WILL NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!! Please liveeee. Then it ran outta battery.. =.= But it was so cold too.. We decided to leave at about 7pm.. Time passes by so fast!! Was soooo cold.. We took bus to downtown, wanted to take 44 direct to UBC, then end up wait in the cold.. Waited for about 20 minutes then realise the last bus left at 7pm =.= and that was 8pm le..

End up took 4 back, and cannot fall asleep.. Damn fast reach back UBC le, then we went village buy bubble tea. I got green apple green tea.. Went back Aubrey's place to drink, and look at our pics from today!! =) So funny.... FUNNN. Then just nua around, Aubrey talking to her mom, talk for almost 2 hours le.. And now Debbie calling her parents.. EVERYONE talking to parents except me! Muahahaha.

Flying tomorrow!! So funny, Amos is on the same flight as Debbie la.. Hmmph nobody I know fly with me.. Oh well.. Shall go to sleep soon.. So tired lah..

Final night in rez

Okay I thought I was gonna SKIP blogging today hehe. But I guess not huh.

Last night went to piano and ended up Sean wanted to play his violin also so we ended up tinkering with each other's instruments for 2 hours LOL. Violin is so damn hard okay!!!

Went back talk online and slept at 2am and woke up at around 9am.. Slack online, shower, then do laundry.. 11:30am went to eat with Tomtom and Kam.. Kam got me a chicken and cheese taquito.. I had my PBJ crackers too...

Went home, wait for laundry, and then slack.. After laundry done went to fold clothes. Pack up much more stuff.. And then Aubrey came over and I immediately cleaned up my stuff LOL cos she made me throw everything away..

We slowly packed away everything, including my black coat and blanket and even Mehmeh Prince (the bear!) We stuffed the above 3 items into a massive vaccuum bag and OH DEAR the poor bear is like disfigured.. Can you imagine?!!? Anyway pictures later la, lazy now..

And then we moved everything over at 5+pm.. And then was gonna go out dinner but caf had good food (kind of), so ended up eating "The Last Supper" there.. LOL.. Beef pasta (with *too* much cheese) and macaroni n cheese bites.. Sooooooo cheesy..

Went over to Aubrey's place to get ice cream and grapes for our movie night. And took nice nice pictures of Marine Drive and sunsets.. After that went back to my place, watched 27 Dresses at 8pm.. Finish at 9:30pm+..

Nice leh!! So much better than PS I Love You... The sweet touching scenes are so much sweeter, and it was much funnier in general.. And then we started watching "Over Her Dead Body" but end up so boring we almost fell asleep... Stop at about 11pm, moved my furniture back.. Now my room is empty!!!

Anyway and then now back online la.. I actually packed my internet cable but ended up bringing it back anyway cos I thought I wouldn't be able to survive the night.. I don't have blankets, I don't have anything much.. See how I'm gonna sleep tonight =.=

Wake up early tomorrow, final packing!! And moving to Aubrey's at 11am.. And either going out or staying in to rot, dependent on the weather...

Oh yes, I just realise I am arriving in SINGAPORE on Saturday evening, not Sunday... So, I will be back in less than 3 days!!!

What is this?

I found this on my wall this morning.. Something was growing out from the wall!!!

By late morning it had grown to this and it migrated to the armrest of my chair..

And then by late afternoon it had grown even longer and hopped to the table!

What is this mysterious strip of thing that keeps growing and moving around??

Is it a tempura or lollipop for me to eat?

Is it a wand for me to be Harry Potter and cast a spell on you?

Or was it Santa's moustache he left behind last Christmas?

Make a guess! What is this???

*Answers revealed in the next post.*

Boring aching day

Ooooh well. Turns out I didn't do very much packing today.. I got up at 9am to watch TV but it was repeat so didn't watch.. Go online, and then slack, do nothing.. Took down all my posters and my room looks and feels so empty I can hear myself echo when talking on the phone!! Kinda depressing.. Makes me miss my room.. It's actually really nice, just that I didn't appreciate it enough I guess..

Finished filling my taxes and then went out at about 11am, met Joanna to return her the books for ECON255. And then went to SUB to mail off my taxes.. Postage was $1.01..

Oh yea, today was kinda deja vu.. I dreamt that someone upstairs came to kajiao the rubbish that I put outside my door.. A whole bag of garbage, a bucket and some papers.. And I couldn't find out who did it. When I woke up, the cleaning lady was going to throw all my stuff out and I stopped her just in time cos I heard the bucket making noise.. LOL deja vu or not you tell me?

So came back, had lunch.. Was gonna eat with Tomtom but bump into Michael so ate with him.. I had perogies.. And then sat with Kam for awhile, he gave me an orange.. Then went to piano for awhile, then went to sit with Lin.. Half a cheesecake again! (The one last night got thrown away =.=)

And then go home, slack, do nothing.. Wanted to TV but repeat again so end up do nothing online... Didn't pack cos I was sian of the mess.. Went to eat at 4+pm but nothing to eat so ate only garlic bread..

Work with Dhirend again, he keep kajiao-ing Philip.. Poor thing Philip got a cut on his hand.. Bleeding.. Anyway speaking of bleeding, now I've taken a liking to Bleeding Love.. =)

Ate pork and broccoli and rice for dinner... Watched Friends on TV.. Now slack.. Gonna piano!! Oh yea, and last night while exploring Sean's room tried his violin oso.. Damn interesting! Now I wanna learn violin too :( Haha...

Marks hopefully coming out tonight! But I know 2 of them liao and the others will take ages to mark so maybe nothing out la.. =.= Oh and my arms and legs are sore.. Even my BUTT is sore!!! Why huh!!!

Packing and Moving~ *with pics!*

So! I ended up repacking my clothes into the vaccuum bags, and man they work wonders!! Everything is reduced to 50% original size! They should pay me for free advertising.. =,=

So 11:30am+ went to lunch.. Nothing good, got rice and broccoli.. No meat.. Then Kam had chicken strips and he gave me 2!! So nice =) Return the library book to Philip, and then after that got Michael to help me move.. Wheeee moved the leaning tower of boxes there.. THANK YOU!!!

And then went home, continue packing, and threw away lots of junk.. But my desk is still so cluttered!! 4+ went to eat dinner.. Nothing good.. Had battered cod and garlic bread.. Worked with Dhirend.. I keep kajiao-ing him and he keep kajiao-ing me!! He even lifted me into the air and carried me for 5 seconds =.= Literally sweeping me off my feet!!

And Lin got me half a slice of cheesecake but I forgot to bring it home! Arrrgh hungry oso cannot eat.. Anyway went home, talk to Ppl.. Aiyoh he tomorrow leaving liao! And I'm leaving on Thursday!!! Lalala.

Continue packing.. 8+ went to shower.. Once I left for the bathroom I realised I left my keys inside. That means locking myself out 3 days before I move out =.= Lame hor? It's ONLY my 3rd time locking myself out =) Shower finish then dry hair, and then got Sean to help me move again!! Moved the orange Pooh bag with lots of junk in it, the 3-drawer set full of stuff.. Man he's strong!! And one more box. Let's hope I have no more boxes and just one luggage left!!

Finished moving around 10+, went to explore his room and then come back.. Slack.. Now damn tired le.. Bern just told me a secret way to know results!!! And I got B for my ECON302!!! I'm happy!!!! (Ironically it's the same % as ECON301..) And SOCI got A- =) Woooots!!!! Let's hope the other 3 are just as good or even better!

Just ate orange and kiwi and biscuits.. Still hungry!! Okay time for pictures.. I know I've been promising pictures of messy room galore!!! Here they are:

Messy corner + wardrobe

Lots of junk. Beware I have a knife.

Messy table

I use my bookshelf very well, don't I?

Stuffies by the window!

I CANNOT walk in my room.

Shoes!

One of the many boxes...

Leaning Tower of Boxes

My room has become a full-fledged obstacle course. Attempt at your own risk!

Totally out of point: Why Mayflower (or maybe SG schools in general) like to give such things for random holidays?? 2 years in a row somemore.

Before: Big mountain of clothes.

After: Very small mountain. (Okay lah, I cheated. The pants you saw in the previous pic were not stuffable. But I added some other stuff not in the mountain!!)

Before, the clothes filled up to more than past the halfway mark. Now? 1/3 =)

I CANNOT get out.

At least now the mess is gone, fairly reasonable le. =) THANK YOU lovely gentlemen Michael and Sean!!! Sian, tomorrow, history repeats. Packing and then work again!

Indecisive me

Man I'm soooooo indecisive!!! =.=

Uhhh I wanted to move my stuff last night to the locker, but nobody help me, so I have a leaning tower of boxes in my room now.

I woke up at 7am (mind has auto alarm) but body still tired so force myself to sleep for 2.5 more hours.. And then woke up, want to move!!! But nobody help me oso, so leave it first. Was thinking of moving by myself (one box at a time) but since I was gonna go lunch at 11:30am, I figured I better move after that and not before, or else no energy and faint =.=

I was also thinking if I should repack some boxes into the luggage, since it's still empty.. But I still have a lot of stuff outside, so I think it's better to pack the daily stuffs that I have out, into the luggage so I can open it when I come back and not have to search everywhere for them..

I also have to repack my clothes, and I think I should do that now, before lunch.. And the move after lunch.. And pack somemore.. And then work tonight..

I HATE BEING A NOMAD!!!!

watched the sunset at 10:11 AM

Tired of packing!!!

I'm so sian and tired..

Today I up at 8am again even though I slept at 12+, and then slack online then 9am go eat breakfast.. And then work.. Fill some drinks, butter bread, joke around with Philip, and then continue working for Ginger Pot lunch shift.. Damn tired, not used to standing so much la..

And then finally 1:30pm finish work, got to eat Tomtom's honey garlic pork! Muahaha I asked him to teach me how to make it.. Hoho.. Will try it out when I can..

Ate.. Sooooo nice =) And then talked to Lauren for a bit, then went home.. Pack pack pack!!! Many many boxes, many many useless paper for recycling.. Moved one of my luggage to the locker le..

Dinner.. Cheese pizza and an orange.. I accidentally pissed Bern off.. Shall not elaborate.. Anyway he was going to help me move, but I didn't dare to ask him liao oops..

So I went home, and then continue packing.. Now I have 5 boxes of stuff!! Arrrgh. Haven't pack finish leh! Still got more.. Then around 9pm sian liao, sit around.. Nobody help me move, so I stone online lor.. Stone for 2 hours liao.. Was looking for places to explore in Singapore!! Heh.

Exactly one more week till I reach Singapore! Okay la, I arrive Sunday evening next week, so stay tuned!

Tomorrow gotta repack some clothes, cos I just found the vaccuum bags in my drawer.. Trying to throw out stuff but apparently not very successful.. Sentimental stuff!!! Anna ask me throw away, I say cannot.. She herself oso so much junk then come and say me oso!! Tsk tsk!!

I hate being a nomad. Every single year must move leh! And twice a year la!! Move out once, move in once.. =.= Eeeks. It reeeeeeeally doesn't help that I have so much stuff! How I wish I had a boyfriend to help me move all this hoho.

But speaking of that, haven't spoke about that issue for a long time. I was just joking in the line above la. It's good not having a boyfriend I think. Studying is too hectic; this second year in uni has driven me nuts already!! 3rd year will be even worse I think. Definitely not the right time. And also no "mood" now leh. Just being single is good. Living life for MYSELF!!!!

P.S. I Love You -- movie review

P.S. I Love You -- My movie rating: 3/10

------- SPOILERS AHEAD ----------

1 star for excellent music *One Moment in Time*
1 star for Gerry's sexy husky voice
1 star for the many excellent kissing scenes

Minus many stars for bad interpretation of the book (as expected), Daniel's irritating hairdo, the ironic humour of it despite the sadness of the book, the confusion of all the letters, the bad choice of actors in general (why do they all look the same???)...

Overall, I have many bad things to say about it. The letters were not as well expressed as in the book (of course), but there were many scenes which could not possibly be visualised (ie. Gerry's many singing scenes)..

I didn't like how they made everything funny, because I didn't remember the book being so funny. Of course, if you watch the movie after reading the book, you would uphold much more expectations... I have learnt to lower them already, but this still disappointed me. You know, the mood is just.. NOT RIGHT.

One of the good scenes was the scene by the memorial, where Daniel and Holly were chatting.. I really liked the quote where Daniel says, "We're so afraid of age, we do everything we can to prevent it. We don't realise what a privilege it is to grow old with someone.." That is so true.. Another life lesson learned right there..

Another good scene is the mountain scene, backdated to where Gerry and Holly first meet.. The getting lost is so cute and of course the puppy love right there is so adorable.. The kissing scenes were excellent.. The funny "Irish wild dog" part where the dog was actually someone's pet =.= Perfect first kiss... And I thought Gerry actually looked decent there, without any facial hair..

I've heard reviews that this is a movie where you cry from start to finish, but for me it was more like laughing all the way, except for the scene where Daniel reads the very last letter. The contents of the letter was soooooooo touching, except they should have made Gerry voice over it.. But it was such an anti-climax when they realised they should not be together..

I don't know what to say, but all I can think of is disappointment. I wanna read the book again!! Okay that's all I have to say. Oh one more thing: DON'T WATCH IT lol go read the book!!!!

Work pack work

Oooooh my feet are killing me....

I woke up this morning at 8 (even though I slept at 12+ last night..) and then slack online until 10+.. Then went to eat lunch.. Had a smokie, then 11:30am work Ginger Pot.. Pretty quiet..

Went home around 2pm, slack online, then started packing.. OMG crazy la I have so much stuff it's not even funny... Was so tired after that.. Went to eat dinner at 4+, had chicken balls and curly fries.. Heh unhealthy...

Work at Ginger Pot again!!! And then my feet were so tired already.. Come home, shower and now waiting for Aubrey to come!! Always late ar her.. We are watching PS I Love You..

Work tomorrow morning.. 4 hours in a row.. OH NO!!!

FREE but in deep shit

Oh well. I just spent the past hour playing Magic Pen. Man I amaze myself sometimes and it's addicting!! Now I can afford to get addicted eh...

And exams didn't end on a good note, sadly... For the passage analysis, I got 2 out of 3 speakers wrong la.. Haiya see la never study text properly, and I was still slacking so much today.. Serve me right la.. =(

But it was not that bad. When I started the 3 passage analysis I had zero inspiration so I was writing rubbish. Then started on the essay, wrote abit then got inspiration le, and then finished writing about one text and started another. Then halfway I realise I dunno anything about that text so had to restart the essay, but it was proofreading the earlier part so it was okay. And inspiration was really flowing so it was fine..

Funniest thing of all: I FORGOT MY PENCIL CASE FOR AN EXAM! LOL. Luckily I had one pen in the bag I was carrying, so it wasn't that big of an issue. Sigh....

OVER!!!! ALRIGHTY time to start worrying about marks and PACK and WORK and PACK somemore!!! My room shall be no more.. Expect pictures soon!! (If I'm not lazy)..

Da dee dum. Talking to Ppl is never a good thing, especially when we are typing. Even more miscommunication. BAH! Lame la. Don't wanna elaborate. Stubborn people will remain stubborn.

So I didn't get humtum and the prof answered my questions nicely. Think about concepts discussed in class. Hmm. And now I'm getting scared! Cos I dunno the novel NGM very well...

Panic attack!!!!

Bored day

I'm so bored now! =.=

3 more hours till my last exam STARTS, then another 2.5 hours of pure writing hell/heaven? (Depends on my level of inspiration for the night).. The prof sent an email earlier and I just saw it, she was giving us encouragement! She's so nice, so I sent an email back and asked random stuff about how to prepare.. OMG I can't believe I just did that I'm so bo liao later kena humtum..

So, what else? Today I woke up 9am =) Late for my standards these days, cos last night was talking online till 12+.. And people are astonished at why I am still online cos I usually sleep at 10? Absurd people.

Slack for 1.5 hours today, having MSN party again.. Damn bo liao!!! Then shower, and went to the caf at 11+. Ate a sandwich.. Prime rib sandwich, but it tasted like some frozen stuff.. Kam fed me well today, he was going to get me a corndog but they ran out so he got me a samosa instead.. And grapes. And mango juice. And Lin gave me half his grapefruit again. Complete dinner! Woots. Heh. I sat there and did nothing, just talking to them with little reading..

Oh yes, I am able to find shifts at work, so more $$!!! =) Managed to pick up 4..

Finally bored, went back and watched an hour of TV, then piano.. Now come back.. Booked the taxi for going to the airport next week. Oh yes, just one more week! Why don't I feel excited eh? I'm only excited when I get to the airport usually...

Dumdumdum.. I wish for inspiration to write tonight! I said wish, and not pray! Because I'm highly non-religious if you don't already know.. Gonna eat soon then find some other way to kill time till 6+..

One down, one more to go!

Oooo. Today was another exam, ENGL229! I think it went reasonably well :)

So I slept at 10+pm (and PS. I Love You finished downloading HOORAY!!) and then woke up at 8am.. Slack online, then 9am watch TV.. Till 9:30am come back slack, eat PBJ crackers and peel orange.. And then slack until 11:30am then went out and ate orange.. Sit there and then finally exam start..

It was easier and more fun than the practice exam she gave! So I wrote and wrote and wrote... Irritating guy beside me kept yawning LOUDLY.. Make me sleepy also.. Yawning is contagious you know?! Dumdum la..

I finished, then went back to add little snippets in which happen to just nice fit in, since everything was in essay form.. Left on time (after 2.5 hours) even though she gave extra 15 minutes.. Waited outside for Selina, who was the last one.. LOL..

We went to the SUB to get Subway.. Then went to BUTO to ask something, then went to her place to eat.. Damn hungry, no more energy.. Ate half my footlong, saved the other half for later.. And then slack and play some silly online game which required so much thinking it was unbelievable!! Anyway we finished it HOORAY!!! LOL all 7 levels..

We have to stack people on top of each other to get to switches and stuff, it was so funny stacking them!!!

Anyway, I went home at 6+ and went to the caf to get water, end up they let us sell books.. So I got DMC, which I checked was buying back for $10, and it took UBER long and half an hour later, it turns out that they were only buying back 5 copies and now they only offer me $2! So angry la... Waste my time..

End up go home finish my Subway, and then watch some TV.. Now blog.. And playing some fun pen drawing game, have to draw shapes to move the ball to somewhere.. Play first hehehe.

Tomorrow's exam? One whole day to read tomorrow, don't care so much now hehe!!

Slack slack Tuesday

Today was not that productive, but since it's ENGL 222 and 229 I shall forgive myself..

Last night at PBJ crackers at 11pm then 12am went to sleep.. Dunno why got up at 8am =.= Wanted to sleep more one... But end up wake up slack, until 9am then shower, and then watch a bit TV.. Talk online until nearly 11:30am.. Oh and great news, I found P.S. I Love You the movie!! Woooots!!! Finally, 4 months after its release..

Had a headache all day :( Ate chicken, broccoli and rice, with Tomtom.. Kam gave me a chicken and cheese thingy, very nice!! And a kiwi.. And then I tried reading stuff for ENGL229.. Read the textbook, then super sleepy.. 1pm+ went to piano.. Went back to caf at 2pm.. Started reading Verdecchia for ENGL222.. Finished in like 1 hour+, then on to Rez Sisters.. Didn't finish.. Was talking on the phone with Selina for half an hour, cos dunno how to study...

Haha so funny, I was telling her about my money-saving eating plan, eat less now, so go back SG can eat more.. She say, "But what if your stomach shrinks now?" *pause* I said, "Erm, can eat more to expand it??" *pause* Both of us laughed like mad =.= LOL. Bo liao la us..

And then continued reading, do crossword also.. And 5+ hungry le, so went to eat.. Ate sweet and sour pork and broccoli.. Ate with Ian.. And then finish reading Rez Sisters, then 6:30pm go piano again..

Came home at 7pm+, now slacking online.. Damn time passes by so fast, I dunno if I should read more for ENGL229..

I hate Charlie Brown and fish!!

HAH! Back from the exam. So late eh? Good thing we were in time for the shuttle bus which took us home in 5 minutes instead of walking 20 minutes in the dark. Anna forgot her bus pass and the bus driver was kind today, so we were lucky =)

Exam-wise, on one hand it was expected, and on the other hand it was an absolute disaster. Good news first, some of the questions were those that we had already seen before, and writing my essay before the exam once really helped, because I knew what I was writing about..

Bad news, poor time management. I was taking my time writing everything nicely, and when I started to get stuck on the further sections, I realised I only had 40 minutes for the essay, so I hurriedly scrawled out 4 pages of my ideas and had 15 minutes left to think about the other questions.

We have 2 Charlie Brown questions, and that means we have to explain in words, not graphs nor equations because Charlie Brown is a dumbass who is allergic to anything mathematical. So one of them was expected, and the other one we had to explain so many thousand variables and equations that I just scribbled some nonsense at the end..

One other question was the one calculating fish stock, and I SIMPLY COULD NOT CALCULATE!! All my math had escaped my brain, so just anyhow explain and calculate lor... The question was from the 1st assignment, so obviously forget liao ma..

And biggest screw-up of all? I FORGOT the GDP equation. I tried extorting it out of a TA, but he only gave clues like switching stuff around which I knew I had to do, and ended up I came up with something similar, and afterwards I realised I only missed one variable, so hopefully won't deduct too many marks.

One of the questions was to write a conversational debate between 2 economists about the IMF, so I anyhow write because we were supposed to relate it to the movie but I didn't remember much... =.=

Overall? It's not as bad as it sounds, cos I wrote a lot of stuff. Will get marks one la. So I'm not that worried..

2 ENGL left!! 229 on Wed, 222 on Thur!!! Reading literature instead of graphs now.. OMG. Good or bad? Hopefully good. Can bullshit a lot of stuff. I'm more relieved now... Phewww...

Slacky day @ caf

Blogging from the old laptop.. Not very used to the keyboard.. I'm at the caf now, as usual.. This time not in my little corner because I needed somewhere with a plug.. But anyway, haven't exactly crammed and studied like crazy today. But I keep telling myself I cannot slack even though I kinda know the stuff well..

Last night forced myself to sleep a bit later even though I was yawning at 9:30pm already.. Went to sleep at 10:30pm, end up woke up at around 7-8am, so tired.. Dreamt that Grace was sleeping over at my house LOL and I dreamt of some of my 302 graphs.. Eeks. Anyway, slack online until 9:30am+, and then 10+ go caf..

With my laptop today, I read some tutorials, still don't really get it, and then read notes online.. Lunch at 11:30am, had fresh pork, rice and beans.. Not bad, and then I saved half of it for dinner.. My $$-saving scheme so far, lunch and dinner combined in one meal cos my meal card is out of money and spending from last year's gift card is so expensive!

So continued reading notes online, hearing "With You" and "Bleeding Love" 3 times each so far, every 2 hours.. Siann... Debbie came back from her exams and she ate while I read... Lalala I'm still reading.. Gonna leave soon and then piano and walk over to OSBO early, to cram more.. I hope this will be easy la..

Boring sian no study

Sigh today doesn't feel like studying day at all... These 2 weeks are crawling by.. PASS BY FASTER!!!! OMG it's 10 more days till I fly but certainly doesnt feel like it?!?! =_=

Last night slept at about 10pm, then woke up at 7:30am.. And then slack online one hour, then shower... 9:30am went to caf.. Ate orange, then kinda read the tutorials.. Damn slow la, very distracted.. One hour read one chapter only..

Didn't do much all day, basically read a bit and touch up my essay only. Talked a lot. Ate a turkey and egg salad sandwich at 12pm.. Ate half of it, then spent 3 hours nibbling at the other half, as I read.. Cos I wasn't hungry ma..

Nibbled morsel by morsel with a toothpick.. LOL.. And then Lin gave me half a cheesecake, I brought it home with me.. Gonna have it later.. He gave me half a grapefruit too, which I just ate when I got home.. Didn't really do much.. Sian..

Went home at 6pm, end up didn't get food cos wasn't that hungry.. Haha, rare times when I'm not hungry eh! LOL. Slack online until now.. Oops. Trying to read the transcript for the video.. Let's hope tomorrow goes well la.. It doesn't even feel like an exam!! Eeeeeks. Good or bad sign? Hmmmz. Cheesecake here I come!

Wild rollercoaster day

Okay, today has been a really out-of-the-norm day.

Last night was spent on my bed looking at graphs nonstop, and then at 10pm I decided to go to sleep. And Olive was telling me it was snowing at her place (far away from UBC) and she was worried she wouldn't be able to get to school the next morning for the exam cos she has to drive.. And at that time it wasn't snowing at UBC. I reassured her it would be fine..

Horrendous graphs

And then it turned out later on it DID snow, when I didn't get to sleep until 11pm.. Sheesh. I surprisingly slept well, and only woke up about 2 times, around 4am and dunno-when. Alarm went off at 6am, it was so warm in my bed I didn't want to get up!

6+am got up, and then study! But dunno why suddenly got stomachache! Go toilet, then okay le.. Ate half an orange and studied until 7:45am then go out..

With the snow outside, I couldn't help but take pictures. Though it was only perhaps 2cm (not a lot at all), I had fun, a form of de-stressing on my long arduous journey to the exam hall at Wood.

Pictures on the way:

And then got there, read a bit more, go in, sat down and it began! He was still making jokes all the way.. He said that according to his grandmother, you should always lighten the load on a snow day. So for one of the long questions we only had to do one sector instead of 3, for the 4 cases. Oh well, I think he would have said that anyway, snow or no snow. I guess the snow turned out to be a good omen after all. We were worried it would make us postpone the exam!!!

The 24 MCQ was a killer! I thought and thought and thought, more than what Winnie the Pooh would think! And then long question didn't really make sense but I just had answers for everything. Spent an hour on the MCQ, and around half an hour each for the long questions (3) with 15 minutes left over to check over MCQ. Perfecto time management, and he gave an extra few minutes. Not many people left early.

Everyone thought it was a difficult paper, and I felt it was hard but do-able, if my thinking made any sense. But I'm not worried now, cos everyone thought it was hard! :) I felt very satisfied, as if I had just given it a big kick in the ass haha. Let's see what the results say lah!

And went to take bus with Hon and Yan, I went to renew book, and then to Ricebar and got lunch.. Char-siew and soya sauce chicken rice.. Yummmy. $7.30.. Free dessert, which was red bean tofu pudding and it was the worst thing I've tasted in a long time! Oh gawd. Didn't finish it. I brought the food back to eat at the caf.. At around 1pm+..

And then finish, talk to Lin for awhile, and then 2+pm went back, slack on the com for an hour, then 3:30pm piano... After ECON exam, I am so stress-free that I think I played exceptionally well today =) 4+pm went up, then the staff were eating again. I kinda started on my essay question, but of course end up talking, with Ian and Michael.. Damn sleepy, couldn't think properly, so end up 6pm go home..

Still full, so not gonna eat dinner. Pretty worth it eh? $7+ for a whole day.. LOL. Later probably gonna eat fruit.. And I just checked the bookstore buying back prices and I'm utterly mad! All my books are worth close to nothing I might as well not sell them! Geez. My ECON302 book is worth $0.00!! When it was bought for $70++!! Yes, books are blardy expensive here.. Pfffft. Okay fine, just TEXTBOOKS!! Because.....

On the contrary....

Look what I found at the library!

For sale.. Super cheap!! 50 cents!! Of course I grabbed it right away.. One of the classic books to read.. You should definitely read it if you are experiencing relationship problems, because it really makes sense as it clearly divides up the differences between men and women, making it a lot easier to understand why we face relationship problems. It was a good read, although I read it last year liao.. But still, good to have it on my bookshelf! It's in a really new condition, except for some scribblings inside.. I'm happy!!!

And this also made my day:

Initially a banner indicating that the ballroom was available to study in, it should read "STUDY SPACE NOW OPEN". The sign has since been tampered with but this is the funniest one yet I could NOT resist not taking out my camera :D

Oh ya, overplayed songs on the radio are really starting to irk me. I found out that the popular song "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis was actually the song I had been hearing at the caf all day long on radio. Man, 3 times a day every 2 hours on radio is a tad too much, no? Along with Chris Brown's "With You" (another mega hit), these two songs are starting to annoy me cos I hear them too much..

Gonna read some ECON255 then sleep early! =)

Damn slack -- HOW?

Lalala I'm wasting my night away when I really should not.

Dream last night: I dreamt of 2 guys, one from lower sec and one from upper sec, they both got into a fight with one another , at the caf, and suddenly there was a fire alarm, and then we had assembly and I forgot the rest =.=

Today managed to get up at around 7am+, and then slack until 8:30am, went to shower, then go caf. Ate my PBJ crackers again, and then study. Looked at the graphs, and then read the tutorials for ECON255.. And keep looking, but not much going in..

12pm hungry, went to eat chicken veggie and rice. Oh yes, Dominic came by to look at my notes, but he left after awhile. And then Lin peeled me an orange!! So nice of him right? Yesterday he gave me half his pear hehe. And the orange today was super sweet man.. Fresh..

And then I just spent my entire afternoon looking through, making a nice version of the graphs, but still cannot remember a lot la.. HOW?? Sianz. Rey came to eat, Aubrey came by with a newspaper, talk talk then kinda slack and do crossword le..

Wanted to eat early but end up they never pick up phone so I ended up eating alone, but at the regular time anyway. No time for long stories la. Ate sweet and sour pork again, and broccoli!! Yummi. Went home at 6:30pm, slack, read a bit, slack somemore, talk talk online abit, and now dunno what to do.

Oh yea, talking to Nat online, he's damn funny la..

The Power of NOW

Hmmmm... I feel like giving up but something's telling me not to give up...

Got up to a late start today, cos last night I slept at around 12, with smells of marijuana (yes, drugged campus) wafting into my room so I had no choice but to sleep with windows shut. This leads to lack of air circulation and inherently lack of oxygen which equals to not enough sleep even though I get my full 9 hours. No weird dreams last night. And yet I'm more stressed! And I snoozed from 8+ till 9+, until a bee comes buzzing into my room.

I wasn't scared! Cos I helped Sachi get a bee out of her room awhile ago, so I was calm and got the bee out quickly, but that jolted me awake. Online, almost had a heart attack cos I just found out the ECON255 exam on Monday is cumulative!!! Gawd means more to study!!! Freaked out for a bit, then 10:30am went to caf.. Ate some crackers with peanut butter and blueberry jam, pretty good!

Study ECON255 from the beginning, then one of the staff cannot finish his grapefruit so gave me some of it haha! And I studied till nearly 1pm, then had a smokie-dog for lunch.. Lots of blue-green onions (dunno why they are that colour either) and a nice big smokie! Cut it up, much easier to eat!

Then went home, get ready, went to ECON302 review session.. 2pm all the way till 4:30pm!! He went through most of the big concepts so it was pretty good, except his lame jokes make me feel like slapping his face!

Went back to the caf, and Michael from the dishroom (aka Munchkin) was eating and I was doing crossword.. He told me a way for stress management. The Power of NOW... It is actually a book.. About those spiritual thingys.. You know I'm not really into that kinda stuff, be it spiritual or religious.. But it kinda makes sense. If you think of everything to be only existing now, without any future or past, you wouldn't have any stress! I guess it is very true but it's hard to apply. But keeping it in mind hopefully will settle my mind for a bit.

Around 5:45pm called Deb, and they say they wanna eat at 6:15pm, and I wanted to get home, so I ate by myself first.. Had scallop potatoes and sweet and sour pork, very nice but unhealthy! Must lose weight after exams! Cos I keep bingeing and eating when studying!!

Went home, slack for an hour, then talk to Ppl.. Aiya, he always think I should study accounting, but too late to turn back now.. Anyway, then tried to study... Now I understand most of it, but cannot remember la! HOW?!

And I hope to get this over with so I can start worrying about ECON255.. I plan to sleep soon to wake up early, cos I need to be waking up early on Sat for the exam.. So might as well... 9:30pm now.. Hungry but gonna sleep! LOL. With the amount of stress now, I certainly lost my reputation of Chunz NEVER has stress, no? Sigh, what weird dreams will be coming my way tonight, I wonder?

Boring ECON day

Hooo. Back from a good 11 hours spent at the caf and away from the computer!

I slept pretty early yesterday, around 11+? And got up at 7:30am automatically.. Haha I can start a Dream of the Day header liao la... This time it was dreaming of Vivz taking German lessons, on a big bulky monitor which mysteriously enabled touchscreen options? Damn funny la. And some other stuff but forgot..

Slack online till 8:30am, then shower.. And 9am watch TV and ate pita bread, then 10am went out to caf to study.. Was not very productive because someone I didn't wish to see nor talk to just came and kept talking to me and I ended up spending 2 hours just to read the last miserable chapter for ECON302.

Then 12pm ate a huuuuge lunch.. Veggie, super salty fried rice and lots of chicken cos I praised Tomtom's cooking LOL. Just kept reading notes, and copied them, and progress was rather slow cos all the stuff was rather familiar, just took some time to understand Case C, and then I discovered only at 4pm that the group of people were meeting to study together today! Ended up decide not to go cos I think I study better alone. Took some notes for ECON255. Also wasted a fair bit of time on 3 crosswords..

Dinner, super hungry la.. Ate mashed potatoes, perogies and broccoli + zuchini.. And then stayed in the caf study.. Still stuck on Investment graphs for 302, but basically went over a lot of the ECON255 stuff.. Tired le, so 9pm left.. Talked to Sean a bit and then came home!!

Now, just damn tired, slacking and then gonna sleep and hopefully early start again! Exam prep days are boring, but I don't mind staying out all day away from the com!! Dunno why hahah.

Soci Exam DEAD

#$($^#*^$*#(!$!!#!^$( at SOCI exam!!!

So, last night I slept at 12am, and I dreamt of 2 of my primary school friends. First one guy, and then we both got into this car driven by someone else. I thought the driver would drop me off at home cos I had 2 big luggages, and the cheek of her! She drove to somewhere damn ulu and said she reached her house and I was stranded there with my 2 luggages. Then I was talking to the guy about playing at his house last time, with another girl whom I remembered in the dream as Tina and then I woke up and realised her name was actually Yina. And I went on Facebook and I found her! Let's hope she replies my message la.

And then slack for an hour, and then go caf at 10am, ate cereal and study somemore at my little corner. End up forget a lot of stuff.. Debbie ate a super fast lunch and I reminded her to drink water, so she scurried to get a cup and forgot to fill the cup with water until she was like halfway walking back =.= Damn funny la!

I had chicken and mixed veggies for lunch and then around 1:30pm too sleepy liao so went to piano for awhile to destress and wake up. Go back home, watch some TV and read a bit more in the lounge, then 3pm walk to Wesbrook. Studied abit more but later on Amos started telling me his drama-mama story about how he got himself a girlfriend yesterday LOL!

And exam at 3:30pm and I was like SHIT! Blardy hell everything on the MCQ was from the readings. I thought a rough idea of the readings would be sufficient but noooooooo it was all based on specific details of the reading!! ZOMG DIE LA SO MANY MCQ DUNNO HOW TO DO. BS the rest of the short answers and essay... Blehhhhh.

Left a little before 6pm cos I was just sick of seeing the MCQ and I was hungry LOL. Checked some answers and I just got 2 wrong! OMG I shouldn't have changed one of the answers dammit!!! Arrrgh. Went home, ate with Deb and Bern. Had pasta and chicken balls.

Went home, slack talk to Ppl, until 8pm. Then slack and do nothing, just super tired la. And just went out and collected 20 bucks! Why? You may ask. Cos I saw online that someone wanted to buy a backpack and I had one that I didn't really use anyway and ta-dah! 20 bucks is mine. I just met the person in the Vanier commons and then that's done! Hohoho 20 bucks richer!

Now, gonna watch Chef School online, slack abit more and then probably go to sleep. Need some rest, then battle ECON tomorrow!!!! Cannot die!!! Anyway it doesn't really feel like exam season to me, even though it has started already.. So weird la.. Numb liao?

Not productive

Urrrrgh today wasn't as productive as I would like it to be...

Last night end up sleep past my sleepy time and ended up not sleeping very well cos I was trying too hard to get to sleep but could not.. At around 10pm.. Kept waking up =.= Oh more weird dreams. I dreamt I had a serious disease in my left thumb then I woke up so worried =.= And I dreamt that I was walking back from the bathroom to my room and surprised to see the door open cos I remembered locking it. I found a girl (supposedly my neighbour, but she turned into an Iranian -- not being racist ok!) standing on my bed, fiddling with the posters on my wall.. I was like what are you doing!!! And she said she wanted poster mounts (those sticky things that we use to stick stuff on the wall).. I said get down from there now! And she insisted she wanted poster mounts and I said GET DOWN RIGHT NOW! cos she had shoes on and my bed was gonnga get dirty =.= She got down and I rummaged my table and gave her a sheet of them.. And then I woke up. =.=!

Okay, and got up at 8:30am, and then slack for an hour, then shower, ate pita bread from last night, and then went to caf.. Ate orange, read some stuff, then Aubrey come study with me at 11:30am.. We moved to the glass room cos I thought caf would be too noisy for her.. And so we ended up eating at 12+. I had samosa and chicken corn soup.. Yummy. Studied in the glass room, making more cuecards but it was too quiet I almost fell asleep so I went out back to the caf. Read, read, read, drink drink drink, eat eat eat soybeans..

4+ got garlic bread.. And then Michael gave me some blueberries LOL. And nothing much.. Around 6pm+ went to get dinner.. Meat lasagne and chicken drumsticks! Yummie went home to eat, and Aubrey was talking on the phone while I was waiting for Ppl online.. Wait until 8+pm, give up then read notes.. Read a bit nia, not productive at all. Cos kinda talking ma...

Ate another pita bread (from Bern tonight) and I tried hard to read the online readings but Aubrey was on the phone AGAIN!!!! =.= SO ended up not much read lo. Then she go home at 10pm so now I think I better buck up. Starting to panic already... HOW??? I wished I had spent the time studying more alone today..

watched the sunset at 10:18 PM

Eat n Eat n Eat n Study nonStop!

Oh my gosh today has been nonstop eating lah.

So I slept at 12+ and woke up automatically at 8am like usual and go back to sleep till 9am like usual.. Had a super emo dream.. Damn funny lah! I was like joking around with the caf people or something, then suddenly everyone ignore me? Only one nice person was nice enough to lend me his shoulder to comfort me or something.. Then he went off cos someone was asking him to go chop veggies =.=!!

Then I woke up longing for a nice big teddy hug.. LOL. Slack for an hour, then 10:30am go caf study.. Read SOCI reading, one chapter so damn blardy long lah. And ate lunch with Tomtom at 11:30am.. I had turkey and egg salad sandwich. Then went on studying, while the rest of the staff streamed in and out as they ate at my table too..

It got kinda distracting, but I got fed so much food lah. Rose gave me baked soybeans (they taste like salty peanuts) and Lin gave me half his pear.. Chinese pear, super nice! I ate with knife and fork =.= LOL I read NGM, read Roy (for SOCI), did cuecards, reviewed yesterday's cuecards... I think today's cuecards not sinking in as much as yesterday's...

And while doing all this I was munching on all these goodies la, with earplugs blocking out most of the noise.. I think I ate as much as I studied =.= And around 4:30pm the whole round of eating staff came again, and I ate an orange (from my own stock), and Lin got me a whole bag of those soybeans so I'm saving them for tomorrow or the rest of the week. Anyway and then Dhirend gave me 3/4 of a kind of flat bread and dipped it in tzatiki sauce (dunno how to spell)..

And Debbie and Bern came late for dinner, I had butter chicken. And Deb gave me one of her pita bread cos cannot finish, I bring home and eat.. So funny, Bern was saying he's gonna burp alot when he studies in Deb's room, so she said "You're not coming in!" And then he grabbed her keys which were on the table and said cheekily, "You're not going in either!" And thus another war broke out as they fought over the keys. Seriously I don't even need TV lah. Dinner entertainment. So FULL!

So, recap of the list of food I had today / was fed to me:
- turkey and egg salad sandwich
- a handful of baked soybeans
- half a gigantic pear
- orange
- flat bread with sauce
- butter chicken with rice
- pita bread

And 6 cups of water!!!

All that over a span of 8+ hours! LOL. Now slacking and talking online.. Don't wanna study anymore but we'll see. Hopefully an early start tomorrow!

Work, Study, DINNER!

Today was eventful! In terms of work, studying and food...

Last night I read NGM from 11+ till 12+, but chatted more online than reading :S My dreams were not so absurd liao, I forgot what they were but they were reasonable.. Signs of less stress? Hope so..

Got up at 8:30am+, and then ate strudel and went to work.. Nobody at the breakfast station so I spent the whole morning serving breakfast.. Chat with Tomtom and Philip! :) Was damn super hot at the station la.. Sweating like siao like that..

Then ate lunch.. Pork and rice... Quite nice.. Ate with Tomtom, and others joined us.. Lin was asking me if I was going to the "farewell" dinner with Supervisor(S).. Got me thinking.. So I went home, studied Chapter 14 on government spending, and then 2+ went to the caf..

Studied SOCI.. Made little cuecards.. Did 10 lectures.. At least tried memorizing key points! And then got sian.. Ate cereal with Rey LOL! Cos he was on break.. And then I read my NGM novel.. Read until 6pm.. Got a little bit of the storyline already, only when I'ma halfway through! Gawd, I'm so terrible =.=

Went home, back up pics on CD and then went to shower. Bad choice cos now I'm back smelling like BBQ. Met Rey and Espie and then Rey drove to Shabusen.. Haha again! This time dinner for me.. Haha his car so cool, voice recognition de!

Anyway, we reach, then some people were already there.. We had more people coming, so ask them get us a bigger table.. Then order food.. Haha, I sat at the centre of the table, can get most of the food easily, and no need to BBQ the stuff :D Shiok eh?

There were 10 of us and they didn't eat very much.. They said they were full and I was like HUH! I'm not even half full LOL. So I kept eating and eating.. Rey left early but he ordered alot of food so we had to finish most of it up =.=

We finished around 10pm and left.. Supervisor(S) aka star of the day gave me a ride home, cos we both live on campus.. She's soooo nice la! Like a second mother.. I was saying to her, how come I see you more than my own mother!!!

Haha, anyway, better sleep a bit later, or else the food will never digest.. Better study more! Had been talking online like no tomorrow lah..

GROUP PIC!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!

Super noisy night

Discovery of the Day: It's near impossible to defy destiny. When the music was blasting, I thought it was my destiny that I won't be able to get studying done. Then I decided to go to the commonsblock to defy destiny and study. End up it was loud there too so I came back, resigning to fate. Never mess with DESTINY I'm telling ya.

Hmm. I dreamt about making cornmeal cookies (if there is even such a thing!) with cornmeal cream with someone whom I haven't even met in real life and she took all the cream and when I wanted to get some cream I went to the pot and she already soaked the pot so I was dismayed. WHAT ARE ALL THESE CRAZY DREAMS!!!!

Anyway, tonight was just... Unproductive. More on that later. Got up at 9am, slack, 9:30am+ watch TV and then made my peanut butter toasted crackers.. Ate, and slack until 11am then go ECON, cos SOCI is cancelled.

Went through outline, then he taught some other stuff.. Then nothing interesting.. Went home, piano and then went to eat.. Sandwich.. Whole grain bread with egg salad, turkey and cheese! Mmmmm. Went to ECON office hours, asked him a bunch of stuff and then went home..

Stupid people started blasting music already! So I just slack, till 3+ and then went shower.. Then 4+ go caf to study.. Managed to copy some ECON notes, and then at 5pm got curly fries HEHE. Yummy. Ate with Michael aka Munchkin.. Got kinda distracted cos he was watching an eagle perched on a tree and he sketched it..

Read a bit of Chapter 12, and then 6pm le, so ate with Deb and Bern. Got 2 oranges and a strudel for later, and ate the same sandwich again, minus the cheese! :) Ate half cos was full liao..

Went home, slack until 8+.. Just when I want to study, they came back and blast music again! Haiyo I thought they would all be out at the party outside ma... Then I'll have peace and quiet but NO! So end up go commons, but people were rowdy too, so just read the rest of Chapter 12 and then came back at 9+. Ate the other half of my sandwich. More blasting so I'm still slacking. Now quieter le..

Hmm, maybe will read some stuff and then go sleep. Work tomorrow morning and then mug mug mug all the way all day!!! GOGOGO!!!!!!!

2nd last day of classes

Discovery of the Day: My dreams get weirder and weirder by the day. What are the signs if you are dreaming of mutated kittens + sunflowers as a single thing, and the strangest possible scenarios? Must be signs of stress!

Studying today today was minimal, although I aim to finish the last 6 lectures by tonight starting now. Now meaning after this blog post :)

Woke up at 9am, slack, talk online.. Haha, talking lame crap with people is really fun, haven't gotten that in a long time. Just no time to do so! 11+ went to get lunch.. Got perogies and nuggets.. Rey came to hang out too, even though he wasn't working today.. I just bumped into him.. And he ate one of my nuggets .\__/.

And then I slack, and copy ECON notes.. Very little done though.. 2pm go class, ENGL222 prof was being a little silly.. Went through the format of the final exam, and then group discussion was rather useless... Got back papers and I got a B on mine!!! HOOOORAY!!! :) I'm happy.

ENGL229 go through practice exam, then finish super early. Selina and I ate cookies and stood around talking. Then I went to ECON255 super early, managed to get some notes copied.. Was copying for ECON302..

Then he went through format of exam.. Makes it sound really easy! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel that if I really had the time to study I would really enjoy studying for it..

After that, took pics with Anna on the way home, and I got a free hotdog from my house BBQ! Deb and Bern came over to try to get too but they were all charred, so they went to the caf and I went with them for a bit but left..

Went home, slack, copy more notes, talk to Ppl (was being rather patient), slack, now sian so better start SOCI for the night! And it's 10! Geez. 6 lectures! I can do it!

Can you believe tomorrow's the last day of class for my 2nd year?!?! I can't. How has this year gone by soooooo quickly! We are all aging super rapidly it's not even fun anymore! In another 2 blinks of the eye I will be graduating! That's a scary thought! Anyway, final exams will be demolished by me! And I will get to enjoy my LOOOOONG holidays!

Speaking of which, primary school people had been having several gatherings the last few consecutive weeks, and Ash just mentioned that we should have them less frequently, because it kinda loses value over some time.. And I definitely agree, and also because I feel kinda left out since I'm here... But really looking forward to meeting them again! It will be like new friends with old connections!

Ciao!

The rest of the night

The rest of the night was considered eventful!

Dinner with Deb, Bern and Anna.. Had butter chicken, which was average. More like tomato chicken I tell ya.. 0_0

Haha, and we were having fun talking and laughing.. We also discussed the Oasis airline collapse... Oh and Bern was also telling us he got caught somehow for downloading movie.. And said that UBC sent him an email or something. I just teased him "Ohhhh downloading p0rn!" And he went on with his story.. And then he said something about sending it to Deb and she went bright red! LOL I forgot the exact conversation but it was rather hilarious.

Anyway, then went to piano.. Went to Room I where the good piano was, but I was now so used to the other piano that this actually sounded weird. Plus my hands were too dry and the chair was squeaky.. I just couldn't play properly! Okay okay, I know I have TONS of excuses :)

Anna was there too and she did her homework.. And she forced (okay, COERCED) me into going to her room to watch some SNL funny videos. Wasted around an hour and I came back around 9pm.. Study SOCI until now lor, and I have actually studied 2 lectures! That's pretty productive for the amount of material, since sometimes it takes 3x as long 0_0

Sleepy le, planning to wake up early and copy ECON notes! Very behind on that~~ Anna says I have a lot of motivation, but I think there's definitely room for improvement and NO ROOM FOR DISTRACTIONS!

watched the sunset at 10:02 PM

Super rant

Discovery of the Day: You know your brain is too econ-fied when you are using ↑and ↓ for soci notes..

Miscommunication over MSN is an annoying thing.

Anyway, I was rather productive this afternoon! Morning wake up 9am slack and 10am go SOCI. The stupidity of the prof astounds me! We were doing review for the exam, and then they play Jeopardy as a way to review.

For those of you who have never watched the Jeopardy gameshow, its like they give you the answer and you come up with the question. For example: I am given the word "Chunz" --> I answer "What is my name?"

So, the powerpoint and/or the TA kinda screwed up, with the answer and then question appearing very rapidly and not giving people a chance to "question". And since it was for points in different groups, they would restart and people who already saw the "question" can just repeat it and get points!

Now the point is not about being unfair about points, but seriously this defeats the purpose of the review huh! And as usual it's going too fast to write anything down. I just wondered why in the world they can't just leave the question up there and have people come up with the answer, even though the game Jeopardy is meant to be the other way round. That way you are still reviewing anyway right!! Stupid stupid people.

Enough about that, then ECON302 was one of the best lectures this term! He realised with the other section, that his presentation was making us more lost than ever, so he repeats last lecture with a brand new way of presenting, constantly checking with us if we were following. This is the way to go, he should have done that more frequently! Sigh, fancy this happening on the 2nd last day of class =.=. And he only checks with 2 people whom he calls his "referees" and not the whole class. But useful still, albeit flawed.

Went home, got a nice nice yummy sandwich. Whole grain bread (just thought I'd try it) with chicken salad, cheddar cheese, cucumber and tomato and lettuce, all toasted. Super delicious! Makes me feel healthy hehehe. Ate 2 oranges too..

Took damn long to finish the ECON homework, cos I was slacking a lot a lot. Study some SOCI, and then 3:30pm watch TV and eat snack. I spread peanut butter on Hup Seng crackers and toast them! Melty PB on super crisp crackers are a wonderful afternoon snack! But abit the heaty ya.

And then back to SOCI. Until now it's like I've only done 2+ lectures today! Seems very little, but I shall comfort myself that they are extremely long lectures (they are okay!). Okayyyy back to study. Dinner soon!

watched the sunset at 5:08 PM

Somewhat mixed feelings

Discovery of the Day: Please do not hire me as a plant sitter. =)

Okay, I have been a good girl tonight! I studied 4 lectures of SOCI *not a lot leh, but still better than nothing* and now I'm doing homework for ECON255!

This morning got up around 9am, then slack online, until 10+ and then shower.. Then 11+ met Aubrey at shuttle bus stop, then we take to bus loop, wait for Selina.. And then take bus to Banana Leaf on Broadway!

Singapore/Malaysian food.. Hmm.. We ordered 2 satay sticks each (man, they were ex, but of course la).. And a pineapple seafood fried rice and char hor fun to share.. Hmmm the fried rice was good and filling, very rich in coconut milk flavour.. The hor fun was okayokay only.. For something that's 3x the price of that back home X(

Haha but it's okay la, Aubrey's birthday!! So we treat her, end up bill came to be about $36 for all of us (including tips).. And then bus back.. No time walk walk around :( Go class.. ENGL222.. Do nothing.. Boreddd..

ENGL229, got back midterm!!! I got 80+% YAY HAPPY!!! Selina didn't come.. And then just go through a piece of stuff, nothing interesting.. Exam scared la..

Then bumped into Selina, we walk around, then I go ECON255. Bo liao cos he was going through assignment which I already understood.. And certain people were ignoring me, as in NOT answering me when I talk to them. How rude is that!? Bah.

Go home, got fish, cheese sticks and veggies for dinner.. YUMMMMMY (albeit salty) cheesy sticks! Super full. And then go home talk to Ppl, damn irritated la. I told him school fees increase again, then he say "Now about $700?" And then I said "No, around 600+ only.." Then he complain I talk back. And say I dunno when to be specific.. Then say I talk back yadda yadda yadda next time people don't like...

Pffffft.

8pm started studying, and now I should get back to ECON homework!! Lalalala.. So sad, my sunflowers dying liao. I'm a terrible plant caretaker la!

Lalala I wasted a night oops.

This morning I snoozed till 8:40am and then got out of bed... Got ready, then went to SOCI discussion.. SOCI lecture was boring.. And ECON lecture was even worse.. Kinda understood a bit..

Went home, it was pouring and my feet got wet =.= Got pork, rice and veggie... Bumped into Amos and Kevin! So ate with them.. Then they slacking so they came to piano with me, quite fun lol. Then 2pm I go back watch TV.. Then slack online, super super sleepy!!!

Then 3+pm went to caf get peanut butter, ate some crackers yummy! And went to ECON255 tutorial.. Boredom.. And then come home, went to caf to study ECON302.. Did another chapter! Unemployment.. YAY!!! Relatively easier..

And then 6pm got chicken pasta go home eat.. Slack, talk to Ppl.. Slack.. Then study abit SOCI.. Actually not much, cos I had to make birthday card!!! Hehehe I love it..

Last night end up super super high after the cheesecake.. Edited pics, compiled them into a nice collage for wallpaper.. Talk online.. Do nothing.. Study a bit at 1am, then went to sleep at 2am.. Yes, that's how crazily euphoric I felt.

Got up at 10am, slack, and LAUNDRY time! Got lunch -- fried rice, broccoli and chicken! Yummy. Stupid laundry needed 3 cycles to dry la, usually it only takes 2... Hmmph! And then fold.. That was 3+pm already le.. Study SOCI in the middle..

4pm Rey come to eat in my room again.. Then I continue studying but got very distracted by nothing in particular. I guess I just lost the motivation? Around 5pm went to piano, only had crappy piano so it sounded very crappy..

6pm went to get dinner.. Fish and potato bits like yesterday's... It's sooooo yummy! Watched Bobby Flay while eating, then study and slack... Still no motivation to study!!! Arrrrgh. Boring day today, after all the fun yesterday...

Spring formal ---- Wonderful fun!!!!

WOooooohooooOOoooo I'm like SO high now! Must be the cheesecake I'm having =))

Anyway, good news on studying progress! Last night I studied 6 lectures of SOCI!!! That may sound a lot but there's around 30 in all, so I'm only 1/5 of the way through!! And then I slacked till 1+am then sleep, cos they were partying and only quietened down till then.

Since can pon work, I just slept till 10am.. And then I got up.. Slack.. And then 11+ went to get sandwich.. Ham and cheese.. Not bad, abit too salty. And then met supervisor(S)! She was like, why you never come to work today! And then I said cos supervisor(I) say no need to come.. LOL oooops.

Went home, eat and then started studying ECON302! OMGz I actually studied and understood Chapter 8!! It's still kinda blurry but I get kinda the big ideas.. So I hope it's not too bad after all.. The textbook really helps.. Even though it takes me several hours to digest one chapter...

And then got ready, and around 3:30pm went to piano till 4:30pm.. Then went to formal dinner to eat! Early seating, was expecting to eat by myself but bumped into Shie and Annie! Shie had friends with her and Annie was expecting to eat alone too, so end up it was a nice cosy table for just me and Annie!

I got the vegetarian entree even though I'm nowhere near vegetarian; I just didn't like eating beef.. And then we got our desserts.. Decadent cheesecake!!! I had passionfruit and Annie had marble.. Went around taking pictures..

And then I work.. Didn't do much, just serve and refill desserts.. And being R's official photographer for the night! :) And then clean up, and we were all finished rather early, so stood around and took pictures! More silly pictures, complete with balloons!!! I looooooove working at times like this, and I will certainly miss working with these lovely people!!!

And now I'm home, with one more slice of marble cheesecake mmmmm it's sooooo yummy! And leftover strawberries and balloons!!! Looooooove today soooooo much ;)

Hehehe today has been an excellent day so far!

I had to literally drag myself out of bed cos I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was SLEEP! Got ready and went to SOCI.. Interesting discussion about global warming.. And ended early cos had to do prof evaluations. Hehehe I gave NG such bad evaluation and praised CC so much :)

ECON was :S I really seriously hope I don't fail the course lor. It's SOOOOO ambiguous and his jokes are really getting annoying after awhile. Especially when he always say "While others try to make educatioin easy I try to make it as difficult as possible!" or something along those lines, something like he doesn't want us to learn? I'm gonna quote that in his evaluation and let's see if he gets fired!

T'was rainy and cold.. And I went home.. And I thought supervisor would be back today so I went to see.. And yes she was back! Chatted for a bit, and to my surprise my darling Eric was back at the pizza station too!! Missed him soooo much ;) My 2 favourite people at the caf are back!

Went home shower.. And then piano.. And I asked when we could move stuff into our storage locker.. And Mr Nice Guy was sooooo nice about it la, he said mid-April can move le.. That makes so much more sense, cos Mdm Mean was like "It's all written there!" when I asked her.. She pointed at some notice, and the only dates written there were May 1 - Sept 1 which was when we CANNOT access the locker.. And it doesn't say when! Stupid woman.

And got a wrap, and oranges.. Go home eat at 2pm, watch Everyday Italian.. Mmmmm pasta day.. Then slack in my room, do nothing.. And then Annie came by at 3pm+, cos her bio class got some sunflowers then she say she took some home.. So I ask her get me some too! She came by with a whole pot!

Went to get a styrofoam dish to put the pot in while I water, and then camwhored with my sunflower! :) First time anyone has given me real flowers leh, and it's NOT from a guy! Kinda sad but it's good that the first flowers I got are the kind of that I love most...

There's actually 2 stalks of sunflowers but the other one was rather puny so I mainly took pics with the big one.

Just looking at these pictures make me happy!

ME and sunflower! :)

LOL I was thinking, if I got flowers from a friend so happy liao, what happens if a guy gives me flowers? :D No la, I think I'm just happy cos they are sunflowers.. Not daydreaming ok?? ;)

And then 4pm Rey came to my room to eat on his break LOL.. And then I just slack, didn't do anything productive until 6pm.. Some people hor, went out on a date la, so I got dinner go back home and eat while watching TV.. Giada's travel show.. And I had breaded chicken, broccoli/zucchini and potatoes..

And then do nothing.. Studied SOCI at 8pm! I got through 3 lectures before people started talking to me on MSN, so now it's like talking and have to try to study la! Don't think 3 lectures is a lot.. I have like 30 lectures to cover or something 0_o..

Okay, tomorrow formal dinner, so morning no need to work also can.. Very lazy to work la, I better catch my sleep.

Edited @ 10pm: One more great thing to make me even happier and end my day perfectly! Waiyen just tagged me in this pic on Facebook! Oh yes that's the TNS bunch from P1-P4.. This pic was taken in P2!!! P2!! Can you believe it!?!?! That's.... *calcuates for a moment* 12 YEARS AGO!!!!

Spot me? Hint: I look horrible. Please do not identify me.
