life is like a box of chocolates
Here I am, taking a break from the terrible math concepts i have to grasp by tomorrow. Sigh, its one thing to know them, but its a totally different thing to know how to apply them. Shucks. I'm not gonna ask for much, I'm just determined to pass it. Yup. Just got back the english test results today, and I was expecting to do a little better than how I had performed. In terms of marks wise, I thought I did pretty okay. But pretty okay is not good enough when the whole cohort has done very well on a whole. Hence, there was moderation, and in terms of grades, I got a B, which was a bit below average I guess. Bah, the bottom line is that I hate the bell curve. Whoever came up with the concept is crazy. I mean, reality is such. That's one fact I gleaned from my ed psych tutor today. She is one of the best tutors I have, very proficient in every aspect, and a very down-to- earth. One nugget of wisdom is "Just do your best, and leave the rest." Yup, no explanation needed. This society is too caught up in grades. We simply feel lost if we don't see that damned grade. Lolz.
Happy food...
The perfect rounding up of a superbly long day is a nice sumptous meal which consists of my favourite food. :) Hehe...yepyep...spent a total of 13 hours outside of home today. Its been a really long and tiring day and what a nice surprise it was to receive an sms telling me that they da-paoed satay bee hoon from East Coast Lagoon food centre. No less! Woohoo! It was so heavenly... and we also shared a packet of rojak(the taupok and you-cha-kuey kind). Yummylicious!! Love my parents....:) At least it made my somewhat weary day worthwile. Heheh... It dosen't take much to make me happy...really.
Anyway, am feeling really bloated now. Hah...seems like I spend quite a lot of time nowadays sitting in front of the computer to print notes and stuff. Sigh...paper is moving really fast too.
Though work is piling up, I don't think I'm in any position to complain. It's good to be busy...a recent event has made me realise that.
To You: It is indeed depressing to be in the situation you are in now, and you have a sense of helplessness. However, I'm sure that God probably has a plan for you and His message to you is that things will happen, but in His own time. So do not worry unduly, and put your faith in Him. :) Hope you are comforted by this.
Oh yah...can't wait to get my english test results back tomorrow!! Ahh...
Interconnectedness
Had interesting conversations with different people today....and they made me realise that the world is actually very small. Hehe... sigh...I guess we are all connected to each other in some way or another, whether directly or indirectly. Anyway, one particular conversation with a friend yielded the fact that her boyfriend, actually writes lyrics for the songs that JJ Lin sings. Wow. I was dumbfounded. Haha...so cool. So he writes the lyrics while JJ Lin composes the melody. Talented people. :)
Today, a few of us actually spoke behind this girl's back during break-time. She was less than 1 metre away from us, and we were shamelessly bitching about her. That was the penultimate man. Haha...but that girl is really detestable. At first I thought she was just bad, but now..... hmnz.
Alright...that's all for today. 'Show's over'! Choy's heading back to her books. :(
Post Bangkok madness
Yeah...belated post...but feeling kinda lazy. Anyway, here's a shoutout to Sarah!! Hi babe! Thanks for the shoutout! Well, the past 2 days have been crazy...Lets see...yesterday, I woke up in time for lesson, but was totally switched off from 1.30 to 3.30 pm during science.
Then today... really takes the cake. For the first time(i think), choy is one hour late for school. And its not due to my itchy fingers(snoozing the phone until i forget to wake up). Nothing like that. In fact, I think I was so tired I actually couldn't hear the freaking alarm. By the time I woke up, light was streaming into the room and that was when it struck me that I was late for school. That was 7.20 am. Oh yeah, for those who are wondering why not cab down? It is just simply not worth it.
So to make up for lost sleep, I sleep on the train(to and from school), and stone during lessons. That's how lethargic I was. Sigh. Things had better improve, or I'm really going to be in deep shit. Hokay...better go to lala land now. Ciaoz.
Argh, I just can't get down to doing work...think I'll be spending a few hours at the library tomorrow to try and get some work done. Sigh.... this dengue fever thingee is getting out of hand isn't it? Its quite scary...cos I'm living in a flat which is within a cluster... Hope everyone does their part with the help from authorities to get this outbreak under control.
Anyway, I can't wait for Saturday to come! So excited! Hehehe...
Just finished my weekend chore... yup...you guessed right. Cleaning the floor! Hehe... Hmnz...there's no food in the fridge and choy is hungry. :( A hungry man makes an angry man. In this case, woman. Lolz. Sigh, I'm all alone at home and I stink. Right, shall go and shower and find some food.
Just a side note: Due to some unforseen circumstances, my pictures were all wiped out from my desktop. Hence, I'm sending out an appeal to all my friends...could you please send me whatever photos you have with my face in it? Thank you very much dearies.:) Especially...pickleberryfairy, princess ping and Ros. Thanks again.
Procrastination and other short stories
Finally got down to downloading dreamweaver mx free trial version, then now comes the hard work. Creating my own 3-layered website from scratch. Anyone wants to be my knight in shining armour or any good samaritan to help me do it? Pretty please??
Grr...I don't understand why SOME people decide to wake up so early in the morning to play game on the computer. Don't give me the crap that you can't sleep. I heard your freaking alarm clock ringing. Don't try to lie to me.
Holidays are here...but its gonna be a hectic week nonetheless. Time to get a haircut. Pay day's in 2 days' time. Andre Agassi is in the semis. YAY! Going back to visit my kids on Mon. Double YAY!
Finally settled bangkok trip stuff.....and gesl stuff...*heaves a sigh of relief*. Ahhhh....
I really have to make an effort to be less of a procrastinator, to be less selfish, to be less dependent on closeness of relationships, which also means being less emo and sensitive. I find myself to reliant on some things, and this has got to change.
Dinner at lemongrass was good, company was great. It's friday night which also means daddy is out drinking with friends. Second round! no less. Well, as long as it makes him happy.
Well, this has been a long and fragmented post, initially wanted to leave a big rant here, but on second thoughts, decided not to. So yup.
So dear friends, have a great weekend ahead! For those in NIE, please enjoy your short recess. :) Lotsa things are calling out to me already. Ciaoz.
Of inverses and identities
Bleah. I have zilch brain cells left after Math class today. Its horrible terrible vegetable. Urgh. I'm gonna be so dead for the next Math quiz. Help!
Been on the phone haggling with travel agent regarding accommodation. Bah.
ICT's getting from bad to worse, and I have an assignment to rush tonight for Ed Psych. Damn. Good luck to me.
monday blues
I think the person who coined this phrase is quite observant. Monday blues is definitely not an understatement. Its a feeling which you just can't put it in words huh? Of course there are the features of monday blues, eg bad-hair day, feeling lethargic, and just particularly moody on the whole. And for NTU/NIE students, I think the frequency of buses also has a hand in it. Heh. Anyway, I realised I wrote quite badly yesterday, like I was incoherent or something along those lines. Haha...another symptom of monday blues.
I love Toos-days though! Hehehe...cos I can wake up a little later and there's my favourite tv show I never fail to catch. CSI New York. Ahh....listening to Don Moen's There is none like you. I love that song. Lovely.
Whee! It's confirmed! I'm going to Bangkok from 17-19 Sep. Thanks to my wacky cousin, I'm doing this on an impulse and therefore breaking some rules. But I can't wait!
Birthday was celebrated and was a quiet affair. As usual. Had an interesting conversation with 2 guy friends yesterday about women and their high and unrealistic expectations of men and ideal boyfriends. Sadly, one of them has decided that once this current girlfriend breaks off with him, he would not want to play the game any more. Sad, isn't it? Ah well, to each his own.
