boring and mindless entry

(Friday) 23th Jan:

Had lunch after my morning lesson and went home without attending my afternoon lesson! It happened to be a very important lesson but I totally cannot make it already because I didn't manage to sleep on the previous night. =( 

GUILTY and WORRIED+++

Dinner with Jerry "near old-MJR". Our initial plans was to have dimsum at Wan Dou Sek but it was closed for the day because they happen to be one of the places to be closed for the pre-CNY period.  

End up, we had frog porridge and beef hor fun at Lorong 9. Wanted Tau Huey at Rocher but it was closed for CNY too! Tried Smelly Tofu instead and was rather disappointed. In fact, the only thing that was good that night was the frog porridge. The beef hor fun totally lost its standard already. The smelly tofu was nothing near the taste of those found in Taiwan or Hong Kong also, so yup. 

We walked from freaking Lorong 9 all the way to Aljunied. Can you imagine how much stuff we saw along the way?! haha. Well anyway, I guess Jerry wouldn't be the "old-Jerry" back in sec. school if he had actually walked to school everyday last time. It was really quite a distance. 

Anyway, thanks Jerry. =) 

(Saturday) 24th Jan:

Timbre-ed with HT and ZX. Wasn't exactly into the Birthday mood because the-time-of-the-month just chose to come on that very night and it freaking hurts and I was feeling damn SIAN. The band was the Goodfellas and it was pretty alright, much better than the acoustic of course. Had an half-half pizza, chicken wings, half a dozen of shots, soft drinks and a jug of beer which only amounts up to a total bill of $55! Mainly because we had free shots from the boss and free pizza from the kitchen, thanks to HT the ex-timbre crew and her beau of course.

Received an sms from Mel after the clock struck 12. =( My tears seriously welled up like crazy and the live band and alcohol weren't helping. Thank goodness that place was dark, no one noticed and my 忍功一流. haha. But well, damn sad. I miss him badly...

(Sunday) 25th Jan; CNY eve:

Woke up with many well-wishes for my birthday and CNY, thank goodness I silent-ed my phone! But geez, I was pretty touched. Thanks people(although I don't think anyone is reading this because less than 10 people know the existance of this blog?). 

Reunion dinner at grandparent's place. Quite boring I would say, there is just this serious lack of atmosphere this year, my cramps aren't exactly helping too. I can literally count the number of food I ate at the steamboat. I had like 3 fishballs and 1 slice of pork, a dozen of cockles, 1 scallop and 1 slice of fish. -_-" 

See how bored I was? No atmosphere, no appetite. 

But oh... my sweeet brother ordered a huge durian cake and planned to surprise me. But I just have the tendency to spoil surprises and plans because I "accidentally" opened up the freezer for absolutely no reason. -_-" Don't know what's wrong with me. I'm a jinx for surprises. 

(Monday) 26th Jan; CNY Day 1:

Had a gathering at the function room at my place. The traditional Ang's lucky draw game reminds me of Mel. =( He missed it this year. I lost my luck too, only managed to get the SMALLEST ang pao of $4. I used to always get the middle-top few ang paos every previous years. Haha, oh well, whatever lah. My family won the 4th prize of $88. Not bad too. =P 

Went to my aunt's place for ban luck after that with my cousins. I am not as WANG as last year already but still managed to Ban Luck a couple of times. Didn't exactly win much in the end though. 

(Tuesday) 27th Jan; CNY Day 2: 

Floated around at home. Feeling sick and fluffy. I only remember refilling my bottle of water non-stop for the whole day. 

(Wednesday) 28th Jan; CNY Day 3:

Present hunting with Jerry. No luck because 2/3 of the shops in town are still closed for CNY! Bad day to shop I would say. 

Visited grandad at TTSH after that. 

I miss nursing somehow. =(

Here am I typing this boring entry away.

Shall end abruptly because I suddenly just lost that mood and Mel just messaged me on MSN. Thanks for reading till this point if you had. Bye and Happy CNY. Huat ah! 

*singing in those live band tune*

Happy Birthday to me~ 

Happy Birthday to me~~

Happy Birthday... Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday to me~

Yes, Happy Birthday to myself although I ain't exactly that happy lah. Don't quite feel that birthday mood at all. It just feel like any other day in my life although the date that appears on my phone/computer/calander tells me otherwise. But ai ya, whatever lah. 

There is nothing to be happy about. 

I already had a great birthday gift because my period chose to come on this very day. 

Whisper : Have a happy period! 

NO.

Warning: Slightly Lengthy Entry

Thursday:

KTV-ed at TOP ONE with the girls(minus Candy). I still love the sound system although the room they gave us was slightly disappointing. They gave us a small room, probably for 2 pax and there is no "dry ice" machine in the room! The drinks still taste rather horrid as usual(except for the very 1st time I went). 

Their speed of updating new songs are still pretty damn slow I would say. That's one big letdown apart from the drinks. 

Had a nice little catch up and some updates on the BKK trip. 

Friday: 

School made me really damn stressed out, this is going to be a HELL semester for me! I must really be damn "ON" this sem like what Zahid says. No kidding man. 

Met WQ and SY after my night class(10pm) for my very first meal of the day at Popeyes T3! Sinful but I feel damn 幸福(xing fu) at the same time! haha. I was suffering in hunger for the whole day prior to that meal lor! That feeling of eating such happy food over an ultra empty stomach is just pure shiokness. hahaha. Thank goodness WQ drove if not I might really just give up and alight somewhere along the way to eat. Imagine having to travel from City Hall all the way to Changi Airport on the MRT with an angry growling stomach and passing by food heavens like Geylang and Bedok! Thanks WQ! 

Had a nice little catch up too.  

P.S. I Love Changi Airport. 

Saturday:

Met up with SK and Fook for Haji Lane(actually SK and I were just merely accompanying fook la). We didn't complain because we are the nicest friends he can ever have. Haha. That place is definintely quite happening on weekends! All the Shi-Sha smokers and the many youngsters lurking around, probably also because it's pre-CNY. The weather rocks too! I didn't pespire a single bit this time round! Many girls were even wearing those faux leather jacket which is in style now. Great chance to wear it isn't it! 

Hope BKK has it! I am looking for a nice suave leather jacket! (not the waxy wet oily looking type of course)

Well actually, apart from being the nice friend, my plan was to buy some blings from Arab Street to pimp my DS's case but the shop closes at freaking 5pm on Saturdays and Public holidays! How LOGICAL. Went home empty-handed but it was alright because we had a great dinner and chill out session at BluJaz! I must repeat this, I absolutely love the weather lately! It's so windy and cooling if anyone of you haven't notice! I thought it was just me but I've comfirmed my claim with this article on Yahoo! News: 

Uncommon strong winds in Singapore

Hope the weather stays! Don't you just love China for "bringing" in so much wind lately? haha. Hope Thailand is still cooling when we get there at the end of the month!  Woo hoo! 

Oh yah, Fook got himself a pair of jeans for $200++ !!! Goodness, I can never imagine myself spending a 3 digits amount on a single piece of apparel yet. I would rather buy 10 pieces of cheap non-lasting apparels then spend it on just 1 as of now, but yeap, it's a reaaaalllly different type of concept for guys. We buy and throw away while the clothes and shoes guys buy can serve them pretty loyally. 

Anyway, I must mention that the shops over at Haji are really cool! Espacially the guy's! I feel so much like dragging Mel over there when he is back! haha! The deco and interiors are really tastefully designed too. I hate the prices of the apparels though. My eyes will just widen in amazement with every single tab. Thank goodness I am going to BKK.

I hate people!

Was on my way back from school yesterday and I sat beside this idiotic girl on the MRT. She was sniffing all the way from Lavender to Simei and I could sense that she had a very bad cold/flu. 

I still told myself: "if I were to catch a cold or be down with flu anytime soon, I should know why..."

True enough, I woke up feeling super groggy and made dozens of "wontons".

As if that's not enough, I received S's sms, asking me for "HELP" again. SCREW HIM and his incorrigible problem gambling! He still have the bloody cheek to say he would return me the money I lent him the last time if I help him out again now. If I were a tad more kinder, I would really personally bring him to seek some professional help(counselling or whatever). From the stories I've heard, he probably need it. Frankly speaking, I do pity him secretly but was firm enough this time. No more monetary help.  

Anyway, back to my cold. I know I was stupid enough not to stand up to change seats or just stand near the door or something BUT damn! That stupid girl should just stay at home since she was so sick?! Or at least stand at the door so that her cold bug won't fly all over the place? Or maybe wear a mask?! 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... 

I'm in a terrible bad mood now. Poor tissues I've wasted and sense of smell and taste I've lost. =( 

TO HELL WITH PEOPLE! 

*typing this part of the entry while waiting for my Piriton to kick in*

I forgot to include that school was better than I thought. Had Grace and Estelle(coincidentally Bethia's good friend) with me and both of them happen to be the much nicer people I've met in Mass Comm. Had even added them on Facebook during the holidays. Lucky me. What's more, Estelle is Bethia's friend and we've already know more of each other's existance just recently. Pretty cool I would say. 

Anyway, I'm glad that the CTP modules are all individual work so I can foresee less hassle. CTP modules has more to do with political and cultural stuff which are part of my interest all along. I am starting to feel more confident although Grace told me that the lecturer taking us for another module is known as a notorious marker. He is so stringent that she already predict getting only a PASS for that module. JIA LAD.

Oh well, shall still be hopeful and work freaking extra hard! I don't want to see another PASS on my result slip and my new hobby for 2009 is to collect distinctions! hahaha. 

School is starting tomorrow!

Dreaded. Anxious. Uncertain. Apprehensive. 

New lecturer. New Classmates(my 2 closer friends are doing different module combination and different majors). New challenges. 

I hope you understand how I feel. Haha. 

Oh well. Shall face it with all my might! Because, I've already recharged myself for more than a month already! The battery will probably explode if it's overdone. 

So, wish me luck! =S

ARGH!!!

2 pieces of news. One good, One bad. 

Good news: My results for last semester are finally out after the long wait! It was suppose to be out from Dec 15th. *looks at date* It's already January 7th! I had been logging in religiously like a desperate fool for the past 3 to 4 weeks! I don't have to do that anymore. 

Bad news: My results are exactly the same as last semester! 1 pass and 1 distinction. I didn't improve!! FUCKKK! 

I expect at least a credit for my Professional Communication although I kinda screwed up badly for my 1st paper! BUT I FUCKING HATE TO SEE ANOTHER "PASS" on my results slip! It's damn freaking ugly lah! TA MA DE! I was hoping to only see one "PASS" on my entire results slip and here comes another! Damn bloody disappointed with myself!!!! ARGGGGGH!!!!! 

But then again, I have to admit I was damn slack for this semester. My 1st Prof. Comm. paper was super screwed and I probably had failed that paper. I should count myself lucky that I eventually passed overall because of other components. But I am still fucking sad! I mean, people are taking 3 modules per semester while I was only taking 2 for the past semesters. Some are even working but they can still do the same or even better than me! I ought to do better isn't it? Or am I expecting too much from myself? =((

*SIGH* 

Time to buck up next semester! Be organised and have better time management! I'll be taking 3 modules next semester and I plan to work somemore. Sounds like I am asking for more trouble. But I shall just try, if there is a suitable job out there. I need the money and experience!

Another thing I must improve on is to write faster! I am too used to typing and write quite slowly on paper and that's my archilles heel because I have to write alot during exams within a short time! I guess that 3 years in nursing spoilt me because we shade the answer sheet more than we write. I must learn to write faster!!! I wonder how I am suppose to practice that. But still, MUST IMPROVE! 

Had just gone through my units outline for next semester and I nearly fainted. It looks damn challenging. Essays, essays and MORE essays. The questions looks very tough to me too. Hope my new lecturers are able to guide us properly.

I am scared................. =(
