DUMB THING NO.2

2007-10-30T05:56:19Z

ALL ALONG I THOUGHT THIS WEEK WAS WEEK 10 AND THEN I WAS ENLIGHTENED BY FELLOW AS MATES THAT ITS WEEK 11.
OH MY SHIT! I AM IN PREETTY DEEP SHIT. HOW NOW COW BROWN NOW HOW ???!!!!
AS presentation just now was pretty screwed but i'm glad its over.

swamped.

2007-10-28T16:27:59Z

School has been cruel and a bitch. even the escalators in school are being bitchy by refusing to budge and remaining in the 'save energy' mode. anws, my lau pok what what friend influenced me not to to the development essay so i still have another pol sc essay to complete. haha. and my current AS group is so not working out. i just hope the presentation works out. and BGS group mates are great. our overnight project meeting went preety great peppered with moments of insanity and incoherent sentances. multiple cups of coffee, rojak, gummy bears, chees cake, strawberries and cereal. lionel's non mainstream house and orange lights. my bgs groupmates are the best i've had so far. haha. we should get A plus plus plus lah. HAHA.
and i miss goldie annd pootz. buffet, partyworld and anything anywhere soon!
okay back to the stack of globalisation readings. i need to stop procrastinating and getting distracted or i'll never get anything done.

dumbest thing i've ever done.

2007-10-09T14:44:48Z

i just spent the past 10seconds or so attempting to rub the 'dirt' off my computer screen only to realise it was actually an
open inverted comma that i had accidentally typed in unknowingly.
in case you didnt know. an open inverted comma can really look like dirt.

-------------> '

go ahead laugh. i laughed at myself too. HAHAHA.

break!

2007-10-07T17:57:12Z

This is long overdue. but for some weird obscure reason, my chio sis insists i do this. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY. she turned 21 on 19 sep. and that set me back 150bucks because for some wierd reason i bought her the longchamp bag she wanted. that is very not me. i am a frugal miser. and i'm broke now. i am suffering the after effects of that splurge. may not seem like a big sum but i'm only a student yo! but its okay. she bought me a lot of clothes and a vintage bag from thailand. HAHA. and she bought for herself 10 pairs of shorts, 5 pairs of slippers many dresses and tops and i dont know what else bcos everything was too cheap. sne bought my mom 3 bags. very cheap indeed.

I AM RATHER HAPPY ITS MID TERM BREAK.
(THO THR'S WORK TO DO AT LEAST THR'S NO LESSONS! YAY!)
i need a break from all the chiongsters and muggers. and have an ultimate chill and relax week.
i'm still struggling to make sense of it all. oh well.
and I NEED A HOLIDAY. HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY! HAHA.

escape. now.

2007-09-25T15:52:29Z

(this is still my favourite)

today i had some time to kill before going to teach tuition.
i went to the library in an attempt to read my political sci readings, i found a great place to sit.
i absolutely love sitting on the couches. especially the ones near the windows facing the accountacncy block/museum.
i'm too broke to develop my flim. i have 3 rolls of undeveloped flim. they are growing mouldy on my desk.

i need to to feel that sense of achievement and self staisfaction.

and after 9 months of no brain activity, i got a C ,for cannot make it, for my first essay.
it was a little discouraging. i hope it gets better.
more waffles and bubble tea please.

Look up.

2007-09-22T07:54:34Z

After 4 weeks of being miserable and being absolutely upset and depressed by school.
and countless cups of bubble tea, specifically honey red tea ,(my happy drink).
things were slightly better this week. i see a glimmer of hope of a less miserable life in smu.
and anws, i 'm sick of being miserable and upset.
its sad that its a saturday and i'm in school. again.
the idea of skipping classes is beginning to look very enticing again.
and i'm trying my utmost best to morph into the mugger that i should be. its weird that i am not at all
influenced by the people i see in the library studying till they burn holes in their books or the enthusiastic poeple in class.
i am beginnning to feel stressed that i am not stressed and dont feel the urge to buck up.
i still have that chill attitude towards everything and anything.
i can't decide if that's good or bad.

in summary, i don't think i've adjusted to uni life. yet.

this life is not the cocktail i ordered.

2007-09-12T10:08:38Z

school is currently everything i feared it would be.
this mix of emotions, its hard to describe.
i can't find the words that fit.
its definately weighing me down.
the past few weeks have been almost unbearable.
i feel extremely pathetic and helpless (just to name a few.)
i need to feel good about myself. fast.
even if you give me a nintendo DS lite now, i doubt i'll feel better.
but hey if you really want to give me one, I DON'T MIND. ha.

and i seem to enjoy listening to hei se mao yi on repeat at times like this.

bad hair.

2007-09-07T18:54:01Z

i've recently realised i acquired a new skill.
I CAN STONE AND WRITE AT THE SAME TIME!! YOU CAN???? HAHA.
i realised on tues, from ppl, that we've actually 1 major grp project, 1 indv assignment plus 1 grp presentation
for bgs. 3 assignments in total. all along i only thought there was 1.
i flipped open my notbook to write this newly acquired information down, and to my delight/horror
i had actually written it down before. but i cannot rmb writing it down at all.
only explanation: i was stoning while writing or i had an out of body experience.
okay, i really must snap out of this holiday, i-have-all-the-time-in-the-world mood. I have to.
and for some reason i developed this very horrid cough and i have very thick icky gross slimy greenish phlegm.
and i cannot sleep properly bacuse i cough every 5 seconds and the phlegm/mucus is blocking my air passage.
I Couldn't even eat my maggie mee in peace just now cos my throat kept itching and everytime i'm about to swallow the noodles i feel like coughing. and the feeling is damn irritating. just imagine. i was so afraid i wld cough maggie mee all over my computer.
trying to be smart i decided to try the yi du gong du(fight posion with poison) method. Once, when i had a realleh bad cough
i went to buy a whole tub of ice cream and ate it all. the nxt day the cough was gone. so i thought it would work again,
i ate chips, chocolates, cookies and drank ice milo/ice tea/teh bing/smoothie over the pass few days
and guess what. the freaking cough will not go away. i should really stop acting smart and stick to conventional methods that work.
OH! i went for a hair trim and my hair is in a weird mess now. yesterday i looked like a butch. i couldn't take it
i went to buy a rubber band and tied my hair up. BAD HAIR DAY MAN.

the class 2A03 !

cutesy cara kwok the pontang queen/partner.
no one else wld skip lessons/school with me.
i will never forget us getting chased by mrs kok, we ran up to the 3rd level,
ran across to the other staircase, and ran down 3 flights of stairs to the canteen and blended
in with the crowd. HAHAHA.

pootz will always be shorter then me
when she buys jeans from mango they should charge her half the price
because she has to chop half the length of the jeans off. HAHAHA.

Some remain kids even thru army.
this cracks me up. dan tou and his nonsense.

i need to go on a photo trip soon. its thereputic.
noob shots.

would you please.

2007-09-03T16:22:51Z

i'm glad the mind boggling and life threatening AS project is finally completed.
i just realised i have a 4 page essay draft to be ready by thursday.
i should really start researching info for both CT and acad writing essays.
i shd really really start reading the bgs and pol sci text, because i have last week's, last last week's and this week's readings.
but i can't seem accomplish anything except staring into blank space and stoning.

and i just initiated a msn chat conversation with someone i thought was someone but i just realised is not the someone i wanted to talk to and i have no idea who htat person is. WAH LAU!

it's fact.

2007-08-31T14:37:30Z

my small wacky dysfunctional shameless class.
we had a mini get tgt last sunday, it was nice seeing everyone again. (:

i think i just made ppl hate me this week.
random ppl wave and smile at me and i can't seem to fit their face anywhere.
so i just stare back blankly at them with the "do i know you look" for like 3 secs,
before thinking it's probably polite to just wave back .i can figure out who they are later on.
and yeeah. it happend like 4 or 5 times already. one of them was supposed to be in my project grp for
posc. i only realised that like 5 minutesafter she waved. i feel so so guilty. and i am so so sorry.
and i realised i tend to walk with my head slightly tilted downwards
(yeeah i know ppl say its a sign of low self esteem, maybe.) so sometimes i fail to see people waving
or hear people calling (cos i'm stoning while walking) until they smack me on the back.
i am not at all used to the whole uni thing. and i just realised i've a whole lot of shit to do.
i have last week's, this week's and next week's readings, as project due tues, and calculus hw.
how can??!!!!
and i've come to the conclusion that, no expectations=no disappointments.
and i shall strictly adhere to that from now on. it makes me feel better, in a weird way.
and i had fun at the (after)bash with winneh the drunkard and her friends. it was nice not
having to think about anything for once and have some plain good awesome fun.

and i feel like eating pizzas and fried oyster(w/o the oyster), NOWWWW!

not good

2007-08-24T17:13:33Z

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY WACKY
I LOVE YOU MANY MANY GOODEST FRIEND.

the smu paegeant thing is so disappointing.
because mr (i-dont-know-your-name) eyecandy is not in it.
HOW CAN??!!

HAHA.
Yeeah. i know i'm super cheap thrill.

that aside. i have been feeling completely OVERWHELMED by school.
projects and whatsnot, i suddenly feel very incapable and incompetent.
i havent spoken up in class yet. i'm a passive learner. HAHA.
everyone here was from some branded school before and they are highly enthusiastic and vocal,
shouting out answers and views at every pause, which makes it even more difficult for me to speak up
even if i had anything to say. ANWS, i spend 3/4 of the time trying to catch up with the lesson, i dont
have time to think of what to say. i feel quite stupid in class sometimes.
and all the interantional students(at least the ones in my class)are freaking smart/enthu/whatever,
super spoil market one can. #$%$!!%$%*^%$&!!!
yes. i'm feeling HIGHLY INFERIOR.
and that is why i'm being a total grouch and not the least bit sociable in school.
to the few friends i have in school: i apologise for the lack of facial expression and words please dont unfriend me.
I HOPE THIS WILL GET BETTER. PLEASE!

logical thinking is not my strongest point

2007-08-21T06:14:54Z

Question: Everyone is afraid of Dracula.
Only Dracula is afraid of me.

what is the conclusion?

Answer: DRACULA IS AFRAID OF HIMSELF.
"everyone" refers to everyone, inclusive of dracula.
Since everyone is afraid of dracula, including dracula himself, only dracula
is afraid of dracula (i.e 'me')

GET IT???
thats analytical skills for you people.
i've a feeling, its not gg to be a bed of roses for me.
more like a bed of thorns. calculus sounds way better. HAHA.

first day.

2007-08-20T06:04:13Z

yeaah. the first day of school just ended.
first day of school, 3 hours of calculus. CAN FAINT!
My brain is so rusty, even after just 9 months. the math stuff just looked like foreign symbols to me.
i do not want to imagine how the guys taking calculus must have felt.
and it didnt help that the prof had a chinese accent, spoke in mono tone and used really profound
mathematical terms to describe something called, gradient, x and y coordinate.
and yeeah. i was stoning1/2 the time or trying to convince my brain to start functioning. HAHA.
ANWS. to my honey buns. thank you many many for your attempt to give me a birthday surprise.
and thank you to all who remembered. and sorry i was being an emo beano on my birthday. haha.
anws, i feel 16 and i am still as immatured as ever. So please don't expect too much of me because i still
listen to boyzone and backstreet boys and do weird childish things. excuse me for any adnormal behaviour and
as you can tell i still cannot spell properly. (no wonder they made me tk an eng module).
and did i mention convocation was so insanely boring it killed my hunger?
but still we left halfway thru the thing to get some food
and why must they call it convocation? sometimes smu tries too hard to be different. less is more!

yeeah. i know my smu photo very buang.

because lydia/goldie was very stressed and kept having weird dreams we decided
to give in to her demands of k box. BUT. K box was being a tyrant and i wld never pay that obscene
amount of money to sing nonsense. so we went to party world. which was cheaper and actually more worth the money
cos they served bubbled tea and had a huge ass room with a huge ass tv and truckloads of
bsb, boyzone, abba, spice girls songs.and yes, because we were in a twitish mode, we sang lotsa mandarin songs too.
and the fan girl within goldie emerged, screaming thru out the farenhite song esp the parts when the
super cute guy, whose name we do not know, appears/sings.

i posted the pic on the far right cos someone wanted to showcase her foot.
and i think all chinese karaoke songs should come with han yu pin yin! yea.
We chose like 140 songs and we barely sang half. HAHA. i reached home at 4am
and could barely wake up in time for convocation, which ended up being a waste of time.
anws, floorball on fri was pretty fun. i guess i kinda got a little excited because after so long i felt a hint of that familar
adrenaline rush that we all experienced when playing soccer. and it kinda made me miss kicking balls for awhile.
but not enough to make me join soccer ever again! HAHAHA.
and i'm not very capable of pushing a ball ard with a stick.

the great gatsby

2007-08-15T16:12:09Z

People disappeared, reappeared, made plans to go somewhere,
and then lost each other, searched for each other,
found each other a few feet away.

that pretty much sums up life, doesn't it?

popapoo @ 2007-08-15T14:48:00

2007-08-15T07:08:00Z

i miss boyzone and bsb.
i miss the when britney was normal days and british bands were kick ass.
(think steps, ateens, s club, boy zone, atomic kittens)
and boybands were the 'IN' thing. n'sync, 911, 98 degrees, all 4 one, westlife
and the original teen pop queens were britney spears, mandy moore and christina agueilera
AND, doesn't anyone remember the song fann wong did with 911???!!!!!
"baby baby baby, you can have my private number..." HAHA.
and britney spears is so messed up now. she used to have a super hot body. haha.
i miss my nonsense carefree childhood days.

now all i have is a nonsense timetable.

I dont know if i shd complain cos i've 8.30 lessons mon to thurs and others have aftrenoon lessons
and 3 or 4 day week.
or shd i be happy cos i only have 3 hours of sch a day (compared to ntu and nus, HAHA)
I THINK I SHOULD BE CONTENTED. haha.

this heart is a stone

2007-08-09T17:15:42Z

this is so random but mandy moore's music videos have the cutest looking dudes ever. HAHA.
OKAY, i've been living a very unhealthy lifestyle the past week this is my daily routine.
1. wake up between 11am to 2pm
2. go online and stone or do the most random shit
3. meet up for dinner with becks, goldie or pootz
4. reach home late, and watch family guy and
random music videos on youtube till 2, 3 am. SLEEP.

just for laughs.
camp wasnt all that bad lah, i guess.

okay, i just realised i've been stoning at this post for the past 2 mins or so, i think?
the stoning and staring into blank space seriously has to stop.
i need to do something productive. photo trip to pulau ubin!!!
and i need a part time job!

today is a winding road, its taking me to places i didnt want to go.

2007-08-08T08:53:48Z

I'm feeling super nostalgic today. I kinda miss my weird, not very united but still united, not ons, highly dysfunctional class. HAHA. i miss JC life. and i'm feeling so apprehensive about smu, i havent met anyone i can really clique with from socsci. and i'm not the socializing type and i find myself too lazy to socialise or to even start a conversation. being a loner doesnt sound lke such a bad idea actually. HAHA. and i realised how much we all changed from the two years in JC.

my first memory of life in SR.
THE HISTORY TRIP TO ITALY AND FRANCE!!

We had such insane fun there. Riding the metro, visiting the effiel tower, museums, the lourve!!!! and having french and italian crusine, shopping, raiding the french bakeries and stumbling onto porn on TV after 10pm. HAHA. it really was an experience, and how can we forget mr tay's 1 minute late fine 1 euro rule. HAHA.

next, the lit production, TURNING OTHELLO.
All the late nights in school, scouting for and making props. sitting around waiting for the very slow cast to get ready, and going crazy in the process. Supper afterwards, selegie towhuay and BK (which no longer exists at heartland ): ) and then getting scolded the next day for half done tutorials by mr tay. i rmb i could even memorise lines from the play because i heard the cast ppl repeat it so many times. HAHA.

oh ya, and how cld i forget about my broken finger which provided much joy, laughter and entertainment to them back then.
yea i'll forever rmb the nyjc she-man who cut short my goalkey career. HAHA. just kidding.

hokay, and joining soccer was probably one of the better decisions i made in sr. HAHA. it was shit loads of fun but yea, it was tiring annd painful man. haha. the adrenaline rushes, getting smelly,dirty and muddy, horrid muscle aches, huge ass blueblacks and weird tanlines. HAHA. the 4 times a week training, then late dinner afterwards, kfc, snow ice, muah chee, dragon candy, thai express and then skipping school the next day or going to school at 12.30 pm or 1.30pm, sleeping during aomath tutorials, undone math, econs and history tutorials which i attempted to do during GP lessons and sometimes shamelessly copy ppl's work. the 4/5 hours of sleep a day and the joke about how my eye bags were bigger then my eyes. honestly 2 years in this kinda taught me a lot.
It was fun while it lasted.it's time to move on now. haha.

and the people who made life in sr so bearable. haha.

and i wouldn't have survived without my weekly dosage of these ppl.

and just to show how we changed over two years.

oh ya, how to forget about the(my)horrific PW experience.
i've got nothing much to say, so i leave you with this,

My " I HATE PW AND I DO NOT LIKE TO PRESENT INFRONT OF AN AUDIENCE" face.
i need to be reminded of why i chose smu. its like a almost suicidal decision. HAHA.
but i believe its the right one.

should, could, would, must be, may be, i do not care

2007-08-05T12:17:17Z

The past week of elw was horrible. I've never experienced such crazy insane boredem ever. Econs lectures were 100 times more interesting then elw. Even aomath lessons were more interesting. i was stoning 50% of the time and internet surfing the other 50% of the time. i think i even stoned while surfing the net. no offence to the instructor who has a phd in english from oxford. But i do not think teaching is her strongest point. she mumbles to herself at times and seems to be lost in her world of english half the time. she tries to teach but it just doesnt work. she got offended when we kept asking questions about the worksheets given to us and said we were questioning her professionalism and she doesnt like it when students behave like they know better. The worksheets btw, were filled with mistakes lah. yea. i spent like 40 hours over the 5 days surfing the net. I've visited all the online shops i've ever heard of, read all the blogs i know of( i even read xiaxue okay!) and used facebook like crazy. i even came close to joining a spree. yea, faceboook was the source of entertainment to many of us in that class. writing silly wall messages and adding weird bo liao applications like turning ppl into zombies, growing plants, throwing food. and i thought elw was suppose to improve our english. I think most of us came out of it with the same standard of english or more confused then ever. wld have been a complete waste of my time if not for the nice ppl i met there. So now, i'm extremely extremely bored with the internet, i dont want to touch facebook, friendster or online shopping or msn for the next one week. GAH.

and i've just revamped my room. bought new tables, shelves, lamp, boards, frames from ikea. HAHA. my parents felt generous and said this was my birthday present. HAHA. okay anws, my room is in chaos now. i fixed up the tables on my own! haha. it feels good to do something productive, its been long since i've done that. i think i shall go for a jog tmr. AND I NEED TO GO ON A PHOTO TRIP SOO! everyone's starting sch tmr and i'll be the most jaded person alive ever.

Okay, the other day i was really bored so i went to explore smu oasis. then i found this page that displays all the students pictures. So i went shamelessly laughing at the very funny, amusing, weird looking and not very flattering pictures of random people. that's until i saw mine. RETRIBUTION AH!
It was the most hideious ugliest aunty-ish gross shit picture of me ever!

HONESTLY. you have to be crazy to think i would put such a gross shit picture of myself up here. HAHAHA. ITS TOO GROSS TO EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. i'm gg to hack into the system and remove it NOW! OKAY that aside. photographs!!!
