Trauma paper

Just how unlucky can i get?? Got fever and a swollen throat the day just before my first paper....

Despite my fever, swollen throat and my sucky logic paper last night, i still need to prepare for my trauma paper this morning... Crammed all the notes last night till 3+am, and then woke up at 7 this morning to cram some more... On the bus, cram again... could feel that my head was so crammed that if there was a slight knock of my head, the information would spill out liao..

In the end, i could still only do 70% of the paper, and even so i think i didn't answer the questions accurately or fully... while many of the people would probably answer the whole paper with disgustingly perfect answers.. In fact, quite a few left before the paper has ended.. The girl beside me, was one of the first, if not the first to leave the hall... half an hour before the paper ends~!!! Faint... i barely finished writing when the time is up sia..


But anyway, i'm happy... for someone despite after my another sucky paper...

Now xin fu wor... lolx..

Someone suggested it must due to the L--- potion we gave~~

FAints!!!!

haha...

Whatever~~

Think many of you have seen this liao...

I've heard it a few times almost a few weeks back...In Comp lab, in tutorial room... Keep "Whatever~ whatever~" and then followed by laughter... Thought it was super irritating at that time, but now i know why..

This gal is super cute lor~~ Super expressive sia~ i don't think i can imitate her la~ haha! "tsk tsk, WHATEVER~!!!" *rolls eyes* LOLX~

Just thought it would cheer you guys up in the midst of this stupid stressful period, like how it did to me...


Cheers! =)


Nothing much to say...
Spent more than 50% of the reading wk studying logic..
In the end, screwed the paper up...

Left HALF of the paper blank.
Don't know what to say now.


Sian.

Finally happy with my low maintenance hair style...

Hah... After 1 n a half months since i cut my hair, i finally began to like it liao...

Initially i don't really like it lor... told the hairdresser i wanted to keep it long, that hairdresser reassured me, "Don't worry, i'll just cut your hair to shoulder length.."

I gave her the green light, thinking that shoulder length is still acceptable...

BUt NO...

She happily snipped and snipped, till in the end my hair was only a little below the ear... Kns...

But now ok lar, after this 1 and a half month, exactly 45 days, i find that this hair actually quite not bad sia.. Super low maintenance man~ Don't need to comb as many times as before, so more still can remain relatively neat... lolx~!!

Some more this hairstyle also suits my natural-curled hair, which used to be a nuisance before... There are people who even thought i went to perm my hair~~~ Hehe... So i forgive that hairdresser liao... HAHA!

In addition, because it's a neighbourhood salon, it's also cheaper than professional ones.. So no complaints... lolx~

So overall... I like my hair! HA! =D



PS. Sorry for this fei4 post ya, but i'm a bit sick of looking at the notes liao... especially ones that i totally can't make the head or tail out of it sia... haha~

What the...

Sometimes i think some higher being up there must have something against me or something... It's not that i want to believe in it or what... but sometimes there are just some events that make me unable to deny this belief...Just now is an absolutely great example...

Planned to reach school to study at 1...
Went out at 12pm... 1 hour earlier than yesterday, so was quite pleased..
Reached the bus stop at !2.10pm
Waited the bus for 13 mins.. (so damn long)
When the bus came.... I took out my wallet and realised....

Ya, what else...
I forgot my EZ link card!!!

FisH!!


Those of you who knew me well, would have known I'm already somewhat immune to this...Yes, real sian but won't feel too vexed or frustrated...

Maybe that being up there thought this no longer is a challenge for me, and gave me a more "exciting" challenge...

It rained...

Luckily (that's probably the only lucky thing today...), i have my umbrella with me...



The rain started as a moderate downpour.. with big drops, but not too heavy...

Then as the second goes by, the moderate rain turns to heavy downpour...

Then to heavy storm~!!!! That i can hardly see the buildings a street away...

So heavy that even if an umbrella, the whole of the back of my shirt is drenched, as well as half of my bag.. TOTALLY drenched!!!

KNS...




Not only that, when i reached home....
guess what????



The rain stopped... and i meant TOTALLY stopped!!!

There's even a bit of SUNSHINE...

LIKE the RAIN HADN'T EXIST A FEW MINUTES AGO!!!!

WA KAO~!!!


Now thinking back, maybe the umbrella hadn't been a lucky thing after all... If i don't have it with me, i would have waited under the void deck near the bus stop... For only 5 minutes, and i would have not been drenched like now..

So you see, how can i not believe my theory???

If they had nothing against me, then why send such a huge downpour for only FIVE minutes???

And why must that FIVE minutes must the SPECIFIC FIVE that i spent walking at a no sheltered path????!!!!!


All i can say is...

"What the....!!!"

A message reply

Haha... nothing much~ just rcv this reply in facebook a few days back...
And it just brightened my day..
And brought back many memories of my days in Snoopyland..



"Hi. It's nice to see U again!
I'm currently trying to write my master's thesis but it goes so slow...
I miss U and our conversations!
And... Snoopy :D:D:D
(Snoopies must stand s Jenifer said hehehehehehehe)
Take care :)
I hope we'll stay in touch!
Pawel"


Now thinking back it's really funny sia... (Though i hardly felt funny at all back then..)
Yeah, our supervisor, with her eagle eyes, always telling us to make the snoopy stand, whenever she entered the shop.

"I want to see no sloppy snoopies ok?", she'd always said..

Lolx.. Those were the days...

ROARSS!!!

Had much trouble sleeping just now as i thought about my French oral earlier on.. so felt that if i don't pour out my frustrations here, i don't think i can sleep peacefully later man...

Sighs... i didn't really say much during the oral except Très Bien, D'accord, je vois... i don't even think i said Merci beaucoup or au revoir lor~!

Wa sian lar... Spent the last 3 days practising oral with JJ, thought of all kinds of possible topics and practise real hard.. we even come up with an ending script which can apply to most topics as long as we are friends or acquaintance in the context...

BUT...the topic that we chose turned out to be something we didn't practise!!!! Of all topics we got a room rental topic. So one is renting the room, the other is interested in renting.. we totally never touch this topic at all lor..

And actually right.. we get to pick 2 topics out of about 10 to 15 choices. so by right we could have chosen the other if we can't do this topic... But guess wat???? both of us chose the SAME topic!!!!!!!! OUT of 15 choices???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wa piang how suei can we getsia!! So i consoled myself... i thought, maybe most of the choices are of the same topic...

BUT NO!!! i asked the next few pairs, they got topics like, "what did you do in the weekend?", the doctor and patient scenario, buying a present for a friend scenario... ALL of these we have practised before le, and even had a fixed script for it... KNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JJ on the otherhand, did quite well as usual.. he gave directions to his house clearly, in perfect french, used expressions like "Pardon, excusez moi..","Je n'ai pas les temps...", all of these which i keep using during our oral practice... but it totally slipped my mind at that time...

Totally. sian. diao.

I think probably to the tutor, when comparing me and JJ, i probably only knew my "D'accord" and "Très Bien" best sia...

I have to acknowledge that it's also due to the tremendous amount of effort JJ put in before he oculd articulate his french so fluently... but still...

I know i could have said much more................ ..................................

Again, another test which i haven't given my best.
C'est très KNS....


ROARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

French + Adolescent Bombs = Seriously wounded

In addition to yesterday's sianness,

today start off even worse... 4 more bombs sia...

First... French test:
Didn't do well for French test.
No time to complete...

Second...Adolescent MCQ:
Found that the mean is 32.
Confirmed that i scored below mean... I studied 1 whole week for it, and still below mean!
And i still thought got some hope when i first studied the textbook... Now it's just wishful thinking sia.

Third... Adolescent Critique:
Also below mean...
Yeah adolescent heavily bombed me twice in a day...

Fourth... French Oral practice:
Didn't really go very smoothly today...
Really hope tomorrow will be ok...
*Cross fingers*


But luckily things became better towards the end...
Hah...

Oh anw, the deck's steamboat quite nice~
Ate so full till i felt so sleepy sia...


Which reminds me...
Bonne nuit!!!

Pissed...

I'm pissed, by some people...


who frequently remind me of my weaknesses again and again...

who don't think of others' feelings when they talk...

who never consider the no. of other people around and the volume of their voice before they talk...

who make me think twice of confiding in them my problems/weaknesses/secrets in future...

who never consider that all these while, i have never commented or rather, chose not to comment on their weaknesses before...

who make me think twice of controlling my mouth again...


Yes, i am

PISSED!

So the moral of the story is never to show too much of your weaknesses to others, especially one who is inconsiderate, insensitive, loud-mouthed, and is so blunt with his/her words...

At least i'm considerate enough to not put any names...

Maybe i've been too mellow for too long...

It was a simple gathering near her house...

Sighs...

Stupid exams~~~

Life and vacuum cleaner...

Today emotions lecture:

Lecturer: "Humans are forward-looking people, hence we worry a great deal..."

"Adolescents worry about academic results, worry about their own looks, worry about social life, worry about getting the right boy/girlfriend, worry about getting married...."

"When married, they worry about finances, worry about their children and their children's education and well-being ..."

"When old, they worry about their health, their grandsons, their CPF....."

"So as you can see, humans spent most of their time worrying..."







JJ sighed, "So what can we conclude (about life)???"

JJ, "Just like a vacuum cleaner...."





"It sucks."

Finally... but too late

Hmmm... after reading my logic notes, i realised that actually logic is quite interesting.. and that taking this module can help you identify arguments much more clearly... Interesting.. Why only now near the end of the sem then i realise that??? Kns... Too late liao...

In fact i just realised that the modules i take this sem is quite interesting sia..

Like French, think it's my most relaxing and fun tutorial in NUS liao... lol..

Like logic of course, though the tutorials quite boring, but the content of the module is actually quite interesting...

Like Adolescent, and other psychology modules, i think i'm beginning to understand what's going on finally.. (cos usually i don't, not even during exams... haha~!) slightly a little bit clearer nowadays.. though still very lousy at comprending, and always get confused/mixed up with all the facts and info, but i think i'm finally getting the gist of how to study effectively for psychology or the other arts modules le... FINALLY..

haha, finally got some little improvement after all these years of training with ah gong huh... lolx.. yeah training, cos his ideas are always super chim to me sia. I remember beginning when he first start introducing me his ideas, i'm always @_@ or *_* or even T_T.. always never get what he's trying to say.. haha, now used to it liao sia~ i think it actually helps me exercise my thinking a lot too~ lolx.. thanks ah gong~!!

Eh, but then again, what's the use of it now?? final year liao then get the slight hang of it... too late liao. Sighs...

A real slow learner huh...

Think maybe it's because i'm probably not used to the uni system, not used to arts module, so got the kns cap... Then after that 一蹶不振 already.. then plus all the while i don't really know the right way to study arts modules sia.. So always memorise word for word.. So all these factors in addition to my then habit of slackness, procrastination and also no motivation to really study.. that's why my cap like that.. hmmm... yeah, must be. *firm nod*

Haha, sounds like excuses for my dumbness huh... I think so too.. lol.. but whatever...




Since ahgong had helped me so many times, ok, i shall feature him in the rest of this post ... (in a good or bad light, tt's another thing... =X) Haha...


Here's an incident which i thought was very funny...
Last week, jj accompanied me to this booth to sign up for a class for me and kl... I thought this course was not bad and so i asked jj to join too...
Then i blurted out loud...



"Ah Gong, you want to join mah? like quite fun... leh........ oops."


As soon as i said this, then i realised my mistake.

But it's too late, the 2 girls sitting at the booth was looking at ah gong, oops i mean jj, with weird expressions.

JJ, on the other hand, was looking at me with wide eyes and eyebrows raised... he's feeling stunned and anger i think..

If looks could kill.

HAha.. like what he confirmed in the next second... "I'm gonna kill you!!

I quickly finished filling the form, all the while trying hard to contain my laughter... the 2 girls also i can tell, trying hard to hide their smiles...

After that then i quickly left the booth, laughing all the way... with jj's still diao look on his face...

HAha, damn funny sia~~


Lolx...

A frustrated adolescent...

Wa Piang~!!!

This is one of the few tests i really studied for..

Placed some hope for it...

But though i read so much of the textbook, the test was only on the notes which i didn't cover with much detail!!!!

Urghhh...

Then i made many mistakes also... depression is internalizing i knew that , delinquency is externalizing i knew that... but i'm not sure whether drug abuse is int or ext..

Put depression: drug abuse at first...
then later when i check my answer again, i changed my answer to drug abuse: delinquency!!! KNS!!!!
OL
Why my itchy fingers go change??!!?!?!?1

Not only that, i think after discussing i realised that i've 8 mistakes liao!!! and still counting!!!!

Sian!!!

This paper should be considered easy sia~ Cos all the answers are in the notes!!!
Die liao, confirm got many people get full marks one.. some more so many finish within half an hour sia..

AND yet, i got 8 questions or even more out of 40 WRONG!!!

I just saw my B flying away from me liao....


Oh Mince!!!

New Sofa and TV~!!!

Lol...

Actually my dad was quite glad that the TV spoilt, now he had an excuse to buy a new TV... Faints.. lolx...

He actually was tempted to buy a more high-end TV, but the salesperson persuaded him to buy one which is more established in the technology le.. k la, namely the LCD technology.. and not the newest full HD 1080 kind, because it is still a very new technology and not worth the price at all.. If you had taken any marketing module, you would know what i'm talking about..

But anyway, the money saved was used to buy a new sofa too!!! Haha!

Yeah, we spent the whole afternoon shopping for these furnitures sia, that i don't really have time for my homework... I was kinda cheated, cos i only agreed to go out just to have lunch with them, and in the end they dragged till evening time~!!! =S

But never mind, it's not too bad considering we'll soon have a new 40" LCD TV and a new Castilla sofa!!!! =DD

Lolx...

不能杀生...

I just realised sometimes having a Buddhist as your friend has its cons too, especially a super devoted one...

Of course like a typical Buddhist follower, this Buddhist friend of mine is nice and all, gave me great advice when i'm feeling lost, cheered me up when i'm down, lectured me like a mom with her "不能, 不行,不可以!!“ (yeah, you know who i'm talking about.. lol..) So, i think it's great to have a Buddhist as my friend.

But as i said, sometimes it has its drawbacks too... Especially one like this dear friend of mine..

As you know, there's this prominent ”不能杀生“ rule which Buddhist strictly followed regardless of whatever circumstances right... But i never knew that the "生" actually generalises to all kinds of living things...

including mosquitoes.

We were sitting at this ulu place somewhere in between the new SoC building and arts building. After a while, I got bitten by those irritating mosquitoes. By the 6th bite, i couldn't stand it.


Complained to her, "Walao.. those irritating mosquitoes!! 6 bites liao!!!! I'm gonna kill them when i see them!!!"

She replied,"Yl, 不能杀生.. Just brush them away, don't kill them..."

Me,"Huh!! But they bite me leh!!! I gave them so many chances le, but they still chose to BITE me!!!!"

Her, eyes never leaving her laptop and replied in an irritatingly calm tone,
"Bite a few times, it's ok one.. Don't kill them.."



-_-!!! To think that my suffering is nothing compared to this stupid mosquito's life~~!!! *Faints!!!*





A little while later, i caught that pesky little thing red-handed, happily sucking my blood off my lap. With a swift swipe of my hand, it went to heaven immediately.. what's left, is only a patch of blood on my leg, my blood.

I gave a smug face, and commented, "Hah! Finally gone!!"


"YL..."

She saw that, and gave me that look of great horror and shock that i couldn't miss...

Her friend, also a Buddhist, too gave me a sad but polite smile...


As clear as day, I'm seen as one who has done something evil, someone who has just sinned terribly.

Later she suggested to move because it's really warm and stuffy there, to somewhere cooler with air-con. But the real reason i think is because she wanted to prevent me from taking more innocent lives. =S


In fact, I think i just did a great service to mankind lor~ I just prevented a mosquito from multiplying and preying on even more unfortunate victims like me sia~ What's more, with less of these pests, the campus would become a better studying environment ya, don't you think so???? All the students should be grateful for me man~~ Ha... ok, stretching a little over there.. But ya, i don't see any wrong about it lo~



Yeah, but i think to her, one shouldn't kill a mosquito, even if it sucks your blood dry sia~ Haha... Hmmm... Then it left me thinking, what if a tiger, or a poisonous snake tries to attack her??? Would she still stick to her principle??


Hmmm....

Nothing is functioning anymore...

My puncher gone rusty and can no longer punch le...

My slippers were all worn and bald and can no longer prevent me from falling le...

My bag strap broke and can no longer serve as a sling bag le...

My Philips Stark watch battery died and can no longer work le...



But what makes my heart really ache is that

My TV died too and i no longer have my main source of entertainment le!!!!


:'(

Friendly kid...; Anastasia cartoon...

This morning... as i was rushing on my way to the bus stop, there's this malay teenager boy, (should be in secondary school or JC bah..) who smiled at me at a distance away..

My eyes quite blur today, so i can't tell who's smiling at me..
Maybe i saw wrongly..

He's sitting at this seat in the void deck...

And as i walked nearer to him, he smiled and said, "Hey hi.."

I'm terribly late le, so i didn't stop, but just gave him a longer stare.
And realised that....






I really don't know him. haha..
Or i really can't remember who he was.

So i just showed him my "???" face, gave him a watery smile and then walked off....

And further analysing, i don't remember having a friend his age. And all my brother's friends that i've met are all chinese. So i can't possibly know him bah...

All i can conclude is, kids nowadays are getting friendlier and friendlier... lolx..








French tutorial is getting more of a torture lately... Cos i don't know what is said in class!!! Don't know why suddenly the whole class seemed so fluent in speaking french sia~ Only me gong gong, don't know what is going on... Sigh!!! Also maybe because i only put in minimal effort in it bah.. Hai.

Shit. Yesterday ah gong told me that this Anastasia cartoon song -- Once Upon a December, which is my favourite animated movie song ever, has a French version... Ever since, i can't seem to get it out of my mind sia~~ I even re-watched the VCD again sia~ lolx... Ya, why didn't i think that this cartoon has a french version ar??? After all, this cartoon setting takes place in France... In it, they even had Nicholas Tsar II and the evil Rasputin, who influenced the Tsarina and indirectly caused the fall of the Russian royal empire.. so interesting sia~ I remember thanks to this cartoon, i became a little more interested in Russian history sia~ lolx...

I still remember how i was so disappointed when i realised that the real story about Anastasia is that actually the girl who claimed herself as Anastasia was actually a fraud.. and that the real one was dead, only her body was never discovered. Also that the grandmama never did love the grand daughter like what was portrayed in the movie... In the movie, Tsar Nicholas was also portrayed as this smart good guy who died in the hands of the evil Rasputin, but what the movie left out was that he was not a very smart political leader who listens to his wife for advice most of the time... And this Tsarina listens and takes advice from Rasputin (because he somehow seemingly miraculously cured her sick son of a incurable illness). So Rasputin was somehow the mastermind behind-the-scenes... interesting sia... but never mind, that's not the point.. Haha..

I know i just changed my song to La Vie En Rose yesterday, but the Once Upon a December keeps ringing in my head the whole day~ So i've decided to change again..
Hah... to all the Anastasia movie songs (english and french versions)...especially Once upon a december, Journey to the past, as well as At the Beginning which are my favourites!! haha... Enjoy!!



Lack of sleep lately, that even ahgong and mf noticed my black eyes..

Sigh....

Je suis très fatiguée~~~~~~!!


Anyway, today's french tutorial is quite interesting..

Our tutor played a famous French song for us...

La Vie En Rose

I'm sure many of you have heard it before~~

Cos there are many versions of this song, sung by many famous singers like Louis Armstrong, Céline Dion and etc etc...

Ha... Enjoy!!


Je voudrais bien dormir à 11 heures... mais...
Pourquoi je ne peux pas toutes les nuits???
Pourquoi pourquoi??!!!
