this has been one hell of an unlucky week:) my tuition money got stuck in the cash deposit machine, it just ate up my money and refused to open. boo. luckily OCBC bank was super nice about it and kp reassuring me, and finally, i managed to get back my money after 2 days. gosh, imagine, 300 bucks stuck there, of all things, i had to be so unlucky. and on mon, i had a bad sore throat which led to a tummy ache and ear ache. so unlucky as i have not been sick for a long time. wasted money to go and see the doctor. sigh:(


went to jiawen bday party yesterday, i was gorging myself on the crispy and yummy prawns, haix, that sums up the birthday parties in this yr that i will get to attend i think....it was definitely fun meeting up with the 4.1 ppl and crapping even though hilda is still somewhere in sweden i think.


on the bright side, i got thru NOC!! haa, if all goes well, i will be in california in 2 months time....please let me find a company placement...........*cross my fingers again*

my throat nearly killed me. at first i tot it was my throat, then it became my tummy, den i had migraine and ear ache. finally, the conclusion today is that it is my throat, and the doc said that sometimes, throat pain may lead to tummy ache as they are all liked. oh gosh, i hope the medicine helps soooon.....

one week mid sem break is here, one week of mugging is here, oh my gosh, the cycles repeats itself again. so many projects and readings and revision to be done:(:(:(

IA registration has started....haix, sem 6 or 7? has given us a BIG headache for the past week. It's time like this when I feel like sitting down to revise my work that all this IA stuff is starting. It's during this time where we get to see the competitive nature of people, and how people say some things but mean other things. sigh, everyone just wants the best for themselves i guess when it comes to such things, esp since we will be spending 6 months in that company.

i'm just not ready to go thru another 6 months internship when i just completed a 3 months one during the hols. gosh, the feeling of waking up at 6 daily and squeezing with those people in the train, and coming back home at 6 plus? horrifying....haa, can money and happiness just fall from the sky and i don;'t have to work? haha, i can go enjoy travelling, going to fitness classes and shopping.....oh wells, if this is not possible, can i jus get a job that i like? haa, at least i will feel happy doing something i am passionate about.

dammit, i jus wasted the whole nite doing random stuff. oh, interview results will be out by the end of this week. *cross my fingers*, if not, see me at jurong island then:(

ooh, doesn't this doggie looks so cute:) haa, i shall go spca and volunteer one day, seeing dogs like her brightens up my day:) haa, have always wanted to have a dog of my own....this one's is my sis frens doggie.

stayed up til 4 plus to complete the lab report last nite, madness.....paraphrasing and editing. oh my, sickening. having weird cravings for all sorts of food like mac donalds and kfc in the middle of the nite.

i can't seem to focus on my work today. i had so much plans to catch up over this weekend but i seemed to be lagging. oh gosh, i better buck up. sigh, and i kept thinking of things that i should and should not have said for yesterday's interview. and looking at the huge amount of people that turned out in the waiting area, i think my hopes of going are dashed. sigh, this is the last sem that i can apply, and probably i'm going to end up somewhere on jurong island instead of living the 'american dream'. not that it isn't good but after my last changi internship, i need to take a break from all this. and with my not here nor there grades, i'm probably going to be stuck at some lousy company. sigh:(

an irritating conversation i had at the waiting area yesterday.

a confident indian guy: so what yr are u in?
me: uh, yr 3.
him: oh, so its ur 2nd time applying?
me: nope, this is my first time.
him: oh, so have you went for any biz competitions or are u part of any entrepreneur club?
me: uh nope. but i'm quite involved in my faculty's club
him: (gives me a 'then why are you here look'): oh, i am part of this blah blah....starts rambling

is it me or do some people have exceptionally low eq and pr skills? oh gosh, not that i'm discriminating races here but i guess he could have been more subtle. he probably was like thinking i will never get into the program. the kind of people that i tend to meet sometimes....madness.

something to share with all of you who are still reading my isolated blog (cos i haven updated in the recent months), i rented this vcd titled below on thursday and watched it all by myself. i've been wanting to catch this movie ever since it was showed but didn't get around to it. perfect casting and perfect story. i love will smith's movies. this movie is super inspiring and motivational unlike most of the crappy movies on the market now:). do catch it and u will understand why happiness is spelt with a y instead of an i:)

oops, forgot to upload pix of dnd. still collating all but this is a nice pix of the nite with yeeling and sitong:)

i saw a kid just now on the mrt that reminded me so much of myself. the kid was super hyperactive, singing, playing, rolling in the train. it just makes me wonder how innocent young kids can be, oblivious to the complicated world that they are going to grow up in. and its kinda sad that in a few yrs time, she will be caught in the 'study' rat race and after that, the working rat race. oh wells, it's a part and parcel of life i guess. haa, i hoped i didn't embarrased myself in public when i was young:)

my interview went all right today. i so want to get out of singapore. shall update more about this interview if i really get it....which is going to be like 3 weeks later. sometimes i just wonder why they can't tell us on the spot, all the waiting, anticipation just builds up fear. and i can just imagine my own disappointment if i don't get through. imagine after 2 interviews and 1.5 months later........and you don't get through. sigh:( rejection is really kinda sad.

it's week 4 now, and i'm still in lalaland, lectures are piling up and deadlines coming up soon. soon it'll be the mid term break den the mid term tests *screams*......i want my holidays!!!!

have been rather busy for the past 2 weeks for chem eng dnd to blog here...haa, our dnd was at mandarin hotel last sat, and boy, it was freaking tiring. the prep work for the pageant ppl and the skit was so much that i missed out on hrs of sleep. hee, was in charge of the pageant ppl and we had to asked all our frens for qipaos, look for props for the skit, source for music for the skit, tons and tons of rehearsals and hard work put in by the entire dnd comittee. Though i'm REALLY glad the whole thing is over, but kinda miss our late night msn chats, the tons of planning, and even crapping with the pageant contestants (i mus be crazy to say that). haa, but i really felt a sense of satisfaction with the entire dnd esp the part of the skid. it was super entertaining and successful. hee, at least the hard work i put in really paid off. hee, not forgetting with the help of other committee members:) perhaps sometimes ppl may ask why we even bother to have a dnd and why we bother to join the committee. well, it was a hell of an experience and the sense of satisfaction is immense. hope that everyone enjoyed the performance and kudos to all of us:)

shall upload pix when i have more time.

watched hairspray with wenjie and esther today, haha, it was a nice movie, but oh well, we all agreed it is better to remain slim. muhaha, but i love musicals. wonder when i will get to see my 1st broadway musical, i loved phantom of the opera too, such a romantic story, cliche but true. hee hee. and dinner at ramen ten was yummy, sigh, but i've got lots of stuff to catch up on. gosh, have been neglecting all my work and stuff. time to mug mug mug.
