The beauty and the tragedy
I just survived the first 2 weeks of school.
Well, by right i have a 8-9am lecture tmr but i'm just gonna pretend that it doesn't exist for now.So for me, today's the last day of school for the week.
It has been 2 weeks and i'm still at the stage of reading and understanding my lecture notes. It sucks trying to follow the lectures when half the time you don't get what the lecturers are saying (ie. their accents) and the other half, you're falling asleep. Tutorials start next week and i have to complete my tutorials by then but it seems somewhat impossible because i haven't even fully understood my notes.
Plus for my gem module, i have a 20 pg key reading every week. And that's excluding several other supplementary and optional readings. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? But at least i find its lectures interesting as compared to my other modules. And that's about the only good thing about this module.
And it's almost impossible not to feel the stress when some of my coursemates have already starting hardcore mugging even before tutorials start! Can someone PLEASE tell me where they got their motivation from?
Anyway i'm finally going to the dentist tmr after putting it off for about 2 years. Haha. Can't wait to hear what the dentist has got to say about my 'perfect' set of teeth.

Brief updates (in chronological order starting frm the most recent) on recent outings that i realised i haven't been blogging much about.
Tuckfong's and Zhiyang's 22nd bday @ Timbre @ Old School
Failed attempt to surprise tf and zy cus we had no choice but to carry both the cake and their presents in front of them. Climbed the 'stairways to heaven', yummy pizza, my rummish fruity milky drink, tf and zy's first attempt at camwhoring, zy's closed eyes and tf's lao po bing!
The birthday boys!
Love the pizza!
Kayla love, can u stop being so skinny and make me feel sooooo fat in comparison!!!
Girls!
The BFFs.
SUPER ACT CUTE PLS
NATURALLY CUTE, I INSIST (haha to finian)
The survivals. Some (or rather, most) of them left early.
Crazy girlsnightout @ Coasta Sands Sentosa
Finally executed our plan of having a girls-only chalet that we've talked about for so long but never actually planned! And so on one fine wednesday school night (when most of us had school the next day), the very 'wise' us settled on a cheap kampung hut at sentosa. AND BOY DID WE HAD FUN. MAJOR FUN! But not cheap drunk fun. We had our limits :D Well, sort of!
No unglam photos to prevent tarnishing of reputations :D
Prada Outing @ Sentosa ( yes, sentosa AGAIN)
After soooooo long, Prada had its 2nd official outing! An unconventional sentosa outing of the girls playing Saboteur (mad fun card game) and Jenga (which jamie had to kiss zhaowei as a forfeit) and the guys playing soccer, followed by dinner at Fishermen Wharf @ Clarke Quay. Can't wait for the next outing during CNY at Rachel's place! :)
Cycling with the girls @ ECP
Went cycling as a last resort bcus cy was sick of singing and ice-skating. Ended up getting sunburned really badly bcus we didn't apply enough sunblock! :( Wanted to lunch at this korean restaurant at katong but it was 15 mins to their closing time so we settled for Ajisen @ Parkway! Love my beef ramen! :D
Love u girls! :) let's meet up soon again!
Anyway i need to bathe sooooooon! Gotta start finding my motivation to start studying! Been totally slacking for the first wk of school and i need to stop doing that! :(

Can you free me from the logic that i knew
Today was a bad start to a new semester.
Firstly, i didn't understand a single shit about financial accounting (KYLIE DEAR I'LL NEED UR HELP BADLY FOR THIS MODULE) because it feels like econs to me and my econs is totally CMI one lor. Dammit i got a freaking C+ for it! Who on earth gets C+ for econs when both the mid term test and final exam are MCQ-based?! Dun tell me i've got no econs bgrd cus there are PLENTY others who did well despite not having studied econs before!
Alright. Calm down. And. Breathe.
Secondly, i dozed off halfway through math lecture despite the fact that the angmoh lecturer was pretty entertaining.
Lastly, i hate my timetable.
On a side note, my sunburned skin is finally peeling and it looks (and feels) goddamn awful!
Alright it's midnight now so time to sleep because there's a 8am lecture tmr.
"HOORAY"

A string of pearls behind your hair
Yet another year has passed. Cliche as it may sound, GOODBYE 2009, WELCOME 2010. Well, 2009 has been a wonderful year, easily the best out of my 19 years.
What have been:
• The receiving of A levels results, one of the proudest moments in my life.
• Working for the first time, in which i gained pretty much experience.
• Traveling overseas with my close friends, in which we forged even closer bonds.
• 2 years with Wc and counting.
• Making new friends in university, whom i hope will get closer for the next few years.
• NZ trip with family which was great but, sadly, might be one of our last few trips since my dad's considering retirement soon.
What will be:
• STUDY HARDER and get a better CAP score.
My current CAP is horrible (as in terribly and disgustingly horrible) because I didn't put in enough effort, which i admit was partly due to complacency. Furthermore, i might be taking 6 instead of 5 modules this semester, which requires even more effort to be put in.
• LESS SHOPPING and more saving
The money in my account is decreasing at an exponential rate, without any form of input (i've decided to stop giving tuition for the time being because of my freaking damned timetable which allows almost no room for any other activity). So. I NEED TO SAVE!
• SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY
Been pretty much choosing friends over family. Mustn't neglect the importance of kinship.
• STAY FIT and lose weight
This resolution has been here for godknowshowlong.
Exercise at least twice a week. Keep junk food to a minimal. Eat only when i'm hungry and not just because i feel like it. YES I NEED TO SLIM DOWN BADLY. Those chipmunk cheeks, bye-bye arms, love handles, thunder thighs and wobbly calves gotta go!
