Lunch today with my Mum and sis, and then to Taka to get mooncakes. like FINALLY haha. Got a box of assorted green tea, seasame, and mint snow skin minis from The Regent Hotel. I've been in love with the green tea ones ever since I sampled it last week. Its cliche, I noe, but I still gotta say that its heavenly, it sends me flying the moment I put a slice into my mouth haha. The skin is so soft and small, it feels like baby skin heh. Got another box of those traditional brown ones as well. I eat so much of them its a guilty pleasure.

Sigh Geography is making me upset.
Ohwells.

NUSSUPRU meeting yesterday, and I realised that the projects they undertake are so interesting and fun, V-bash, Fest Le Vie and stuff like that, I thought of getting involved, not just a member, but in the project com or whatever u call it. But its quite hard cos I'm not one who can juggle damn alot of things at one time (I think), morever I'm already in TQ. So I'm not too sure if I wanna do stuff in PRU. And I dun even noe if, in one mth's time, I'd be alone without my friend in PRU. It hard to get involved if u're alone in it, cos u tend to shy away from pple and activities. haha. At least I'm like that.


sighsighsigh.Why does mid-term break end so quickly.

I'm so stuck with my Chemistry module. Its difficult and it certainly doesn't help to have a lecturer whom I've not been able to understand since Day 1 lec 1.
And there are tests after the break. I'd rather study Biodiversity anytime. I like Benito Tan so much. And in case u're wondering, haha no, he's not young and suave. He's very grandfatherly and thats what I like about him.

I'm off for tuition in abt an hr's time sigh. There's NUSSUPRU tmr, thank goodness I dun have to go alone cos there's Petrina.

I want mooncakesssssss.

Didn't tan yesterday, cos of tuition in the afternoon. SIGH. Like Kelly said, "tied down to tuition." How true.
Anyway had TQ meeting at City Hall in the evening with the marketing people. We had it at this place New York New York that took over Nooch in City Link, that had free wireless but not-so-good-food-with-fantastic-music. Ah, so New Yorkish. haha. The couches were nice. To sleep and chill.
Missed America's Next Top Model.

Oh this morning I was watching Yan (Lin; pun intended!haha)) Can Cook, by Martin Yan, and I was practically salivating at his dishes la. The mushroom rice, daikon and mushroom soup, ahd his stir-fried brocolli w cauliflower. Oh yummaye.

Spent my entire Sat in town. Lunch at Soup Restaurant Paragon with my Mum and sis, the samsui chicken is just so good, it makes me yearn for more. After lunch, walked around till abt 3 plus before heading home, only to leave home a while later to meet Pet and Amanda in town.
Met up with Pet first to go get the cakes, which we had planned to surprise Amanda with.

So Pet was supposed to go meet Amanda first, while I loitered at Borders with the cakes, and would only go up to NYDC to meet them after Pet gave me the cue, cos I had to leave the cakes with the kitchen people and musn't be seen by Amanda.
While I was at Borders, Petrina, who had already gotten a seat at NYDC, called me to tell me that Amanda was at Borders as well! So in order to avoid her, I went up to the third level, hoping not to bump into her. I waited for so long for Pet's call, so I decided to call her first, and she told me that Amanda got lost at Wheelock and wasn't able to locate NYDC. I thought it was damn funny to get lost in such a small place! haha. While one the phone w Pet, I turned around and actually bumped into Amanda la!
I quickly covered up by saying that I had to meet a friend to to pass her sth and DIRECTED her to the second floor where NYDC is located. I dun know if she saw the cake I was holding, but I tried hard to hide it behind me heh.
Anyway after dinner, I got the waitress to bring out the cakes and Amanda was so TOUCHED.
heh.






A pity they didnt allow us to consume the cake cos it wasn't from NYDC but elsewhere, so we could only blow out the candles. Its quite stupid actually cos it wasn't as if we didnt order food from there. So we could only bring out the cake to eat along the benches in Wheelock.




We walked all the way to PS after that to meet John to catch the Banquet. The show is kind of lame, and everyone dies in that show and it ended with a pond of duckweeds (ha I'm a spoiler here I noe) and it just left all of us with question marks. John said that the show made him v angry haha.
Anyway the show is quite gruesome and incest as well. They go into the smallest and unimportant details of blood spurting out, the sword pericing right through the torso, and the head being sliced off and flying off the bridge into the river. The three of us girls could help but cringe at these scenes.

Anyway it was really good to meet up with Amanda and John cos I would otherwise hardly see them. Amanda's as funny and easily amused and of cos BLUR as ever, and as usual, John still derives pleasure in pissing me off. haha.

We really should meet up soon again. heh.

Anyway, photos here: share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BYtGbJu2bsQa
Still waiting for Pet to send me hers!

I ponned my first lec today since starting sch in NUS. I wouldn't have to, if I could understand the lecturer. I nv get him half the time, no, I mean, 3 quarts the time. As a result, I end up stoning during Chem lects. And the stuff we're learning now is so difficult, at least thats what I think. So its double whammy. I can't understand my lecturer plus I can't understand the Chem stuff. SIGH.
Anw, the mental torment that resulted from skipping Chem lect to join my mum and sis for lunch and shopping in town was excrutiating. I felt so bad! And there's test tmr!

OH wells. That aside, shopping (I say, retail therapy to make up for my otherwise mundane life) was nice. haha. It always has been, always is, and will always be.
Lunch at Vil'age at Hereen the new foodplace that took over Marche. The concept is very much the same, so nth new actually.

I saw the pretty Amanda lookalike in town today! She's so pretty la. And she waved to me hurhurhur.

And I'm so super upset I gotta postpone my driving re-test. Supposed to be in Oct but I have a test in sch that day. Now the earliest available date is sometime in Dec.
I'm not even able to book the Dec slot after cancelling my Oct one cos my PDL has expired! I dun exactly like to do bookings and cancellations online la. The system is so rigid.
Rushed down to Sinagpore Post to renew my PDL and reached there at ard 5.03 but they've closed for the day at 5. Sucks big time please. I need to book the Dec slot asap la or else it would be taken up (it really gets taken up fast, like in a matter of a few minutes, I've experienced it before). I hope by tmr when I book it won't be like Jan already.

Anyway, its ALL THAT STUPID TESTER'S fault la. Thanks to him for all these inconvenience now. I felt that I should have passed the first time in July la. I thought it was pretty ok, except for a few minor blundders here and there. SHIT THE TESTER WHY DID HE FAIL ME!? JUST COS I'M YOUNG?? Thats stupid shit la its not fair.


SHIT THE TESTER.

I'm so upset. There's a MAJOR problem with my nus emAIl account! I can't receive or send out any emails cos my mailbox has been CLOSED, apparently cos it has exceeded its storage limits. The thing is, I've deleted my sent itmes, outbox as well as recycle bin and have only 12 emails left in my inbox! I used to have 80 over emails in my inbox but didnt have anyway storage limit problems laaaaa this is so depressing cos in NUS alot of things are announced through emails laaaaa. I've emailed the IT personnel already I hope they would help me asap.

Yay, looking forward to the nice lunch this Sat, as well as some good shopping and maybe sourcing for sponsors ha yeah right, and nice dinner-cum-meetup with Amanda together with Petrina.
And then, next week is mid-term break. A nice time to take time off to tan. and shop. and do everything nice. =)

I'll miss Dr Benito Tan laaaaaa. Haha one week without his lecture. Oh sigh. I like him so so so much! He's so interesting and all nice and funny. If only he could be my lecturer for every module.

Oh yeah I'm so lost in CM1121. So upsetting please.

Okay I gotta study for Gen Physio now. Sigh.

I had this really huge chicken pau yesterday from the Crystal Jade Bakery though I was not feeling v hungry. I'm a glutton shit.

It was good, but it was so humongous I wonder how I could even have my dinner an hour and a half later.

And, there's a Gen Physio test next week argh.

Oh yah, Donald (korkor) won some singing competition!haha. I watched the video for his semi-finals and he and his friend did this very nice duet. The song sounds nice haha. Can go to his blog to see if u want.

I cycled so much during night cycling that day, I MIGHT not cycle for the next 6 months.

I'm kidding. heh.

And so I'm now down with flu a bad throat and an on-off fever which sucks cos I feel drowsy half the time and have been sleeping ALOT in sch in lects in tuts and at home. sucks big time.
Anw I think its cos of the DAMN alot of almond chocs I ate last week. sigh.

I wanna get well soon so I can eat 1A curry puffs and more almond chocs. Jason and Samantha bought the puffs today from the bazaar outside LT27 and I was so tempted to buy also but sigh I didn't wanna make my throat worse.

And Petrina if u're reading this, haha I'll go find out abt the guide cookies.

I've been snacking on semi-sweet almond chocolates and cocktail nuts NON-STOP. Its becoming an addiction argh. I saw this girl yesterday from my lab group who resembles Amanda and suddenly I realised I haven't met up with her in ages and I should do so soon!

Night cycling tonight. And I still have tons of work to be done.

Old songs.

I'm so so so hungry my stomach's hurting la. I had like yong tao foo soup without noodles at 5 plus and didn't have dinner after that except for a pack of almond chocolates. Attended the NUSSUPRU thing with Petrina, it ended late and I got home feeling so so hungry I had a slice of wholemeal bread and a glass of yogurt juice but still very hungry.
And most of the time, if not always, I feel hungry during lectures. blah.
No more Prof Ho Bow now cos Microbio is over. I dun understand him half the time, but he is so so so nice, the way he speaks and all, he's sucha grandfatherly figure I just feel so warm with him around! But Prof Benito Tan is quite a funny guy I'm sure I'll be awake during his lecs he's like such joker and he speaks with this very interesting accent it actually sounds quite cute and nice to a certain extent. haha.

I'm quite upset that my TA for my Stats can't teach la. She doesn't show the least enthusiasm in teaching and I can't understand why she's trying to say and all. sigh. So I was like sleeping during ST tutorial that day. SIGH. 8 am lecture that morning plus her monotone drone as well as her I-can't-underrstand her-at-all explanation of the solutions certainly can't go well together.

Why do I seem to spend most of my money on food.

And I left my phone at home this morning la. I felt so lost without my phone in sch from 8 am till 9 plus pm.

Anyway, I think I have some skin allergy. I think, there's some sort of rashes on my cheeks. shucks.

Oh.
And I realised I kinda like Dilys. Like, yeah. ha. And I like smart guys.

Finally some nice stuff in sch.

DnD's over, and I didnt spend a single cent. haha. Thats something to be proud of.

Yesterday afternoon was town for lunch with my Mum and sis and some shopping ( I can nv get enough of it, can I?!) so yay. But Mum says shopping too much too often is a bad habit, so I gotta stop spending. Though my lovely mum pays for my stuff but still I shld cease spending so much. Its really not good. But sometimes it can't be helped cos shopping's sucha nice and lovely therapy it nv fails to cheer me up. (esp now that PSLE is coming and tuition is making me depressed big time, I have to tutor my kids like almost four days a wk how sigh-inducing is that u tell me).

I need time for myself and my homework!

Anyway back to the DnD, the food was ok. Not that fantastic though. Everyone was v v dressed up it was like prom all over again, and there I was in a paisley print dress looking severly under-dressed next to the hordes of gown-clad girls with pretty hair and make-up all done up nicely. haha. But eventually it is the company that matters la, haha. So I wont say it was THAT bad it was ok actually.

Every Sunday I feel upset cos I think of the tuition 4 times a wk and I just wanna scream out loud.

PSLE hurry over!
