Shopping with Karen!

Our first stop - Far East Plaza! Wow, it's been like months since I last went Orchard to shop. Heex.. Ate at the noodle stall and the dumplings are great as usual! Bought the milk tea too and I really missed it man! Haha... We went to Heeren too but in the end, we bought nothing. Decided to go to Suntec to buy donuts from Donut Factory after that.

Ok, I know I'm slow but today is the first time I tasted the donuts from Donut Factory. Haha.. And it was really delicious!

I bought the double chocolate and strawberry heart... The strawberry was really sweeeeet!

Karen's peanut and double chocolate... Nice too!

Heh... took photos with my beloved Andy Lau at Citylink! Oh gosh... He's so gorgeous even after celebrating his 46th birthday yesterday. Haha... But it was really embarrassing lah. We looked like fools... =P

Hahaha... Karen is so sporting lar... =P

Had a really fun time even though I didn't buy anything on my shopping list. Haha... Was super tired when I reached home :)

Time to study now... I still love Psychology but all the brain and eye anatomy stuffs are really making me all drained out. I can't stand biology, really! :(

Went to Central Singapore CDC at Toa Payoh HDB Hub early in the morning today. Heavy rain somemore! The talk was supposed to end at 12noon but the person dragged till 12.40pm. By the time the whole thing ended, my stomach was growling like mad already. But on the overall, it was quite interesting too. The person gave us so much information about their organisation and the cases which they encounter. It was really inspiring hearing them talk about success stories of people who have benefited from the assistance rendered to them.

I've been toying with the idea of going for an exchange maybe a year later or so. I don't know, maybe after hearing stories from my senior, I'm sort of attracted to this idea now. The University of Hong Kong sounds like a great place to go and I really am tempted. I've never been an adventurous person and somehow, I feel like it's time I should step out of my comfort zone and learn new things. I don't know... I'll just see how things go.

I got to know a particular someone in school the other day. Was talking to her and I really learnt a lot of things from her. Money is like a volcano. It is useful, like how the soil near volcanoes are so fertile and rich in minerals. However, money may also spell disaster, like how fatal things can be when volcanoes erupt. Why do people put so much emphasis on material needs when the thing which is most important is our emotional need? In the process of chasing after branded goods, we lose sight of the things and people around us. Though according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, our main need is food and bodily comfort but we cannot ignore the fact that love and attachment to others is also part of our needs. Sigh! It's so shameful to know that so many people around the world are living in poverty and yet we are complaining of not being able to lead a luxurious life. Sad to say, I am also guilty of putting too much emphasis on branded things. I really should change man...

Hey you, thanks for making me realise how life really is and how blessed I am. I really enjoy talking to you. :)

Time flies. It's Thursday already and I'm not done with my Psyche paper and revision. Oh man... Have to burn midnight oil for the next few days again. I need more coffee! I really love Mcdonald's cappucino. It's really good! Heh...

Think I'm becoming more and more naggy nowadays. Haiyoh... Can't help it, old already. Hahaha...

Ratatouille was nice! Been a long time I last caught a movie with Karen and XianHui. In fact, I don't even remember which was our last movie together. I think it was Da Vinci Code if my memory hasn't failed me. Heh. Anyway, the show was really entertaining! Remy (the rat) was cute and innovative. How I wished all rats were as cute as him, then the world will be a better place to live in. Haha... But I still can't imagine myself eating meals prepared by rats. Just the thought of it is horrible. LOL!

"Stole" this pic from XH's blog... Heh..

Sigh! Sometimes I wonder why I'm mugging so hard for. Are all these hardwork worth it? Spending most of your days infront of the computer, doing readings, and memorizing textbooks... What if I die tomorrow? All of these will be gone to waste. If we have to live life to the fullest, isn't it best if we just play like nobody's business and don't fret about exams at all? Life would be so much relaxing and joyful like that. Haiz... Guess I'm ranting nonsensically, don't mind me. I'm just so stressed up with the impending tests and deadlines to meet.

Woe be to you, whoever you are, who said that uni life is a breeze. You seriously must be out of your mind. =X

Shall return to my Sri Lanka essay now. Really sian.... Don't like this module but haiz... I still learnt quite a lot from the lectures and readings. At least I now have a better understanding about the Bangladesh people in our homeland. Heh...

Studying is fun :D I'm thankful for the previlege to study even though I complain a lot. Haha...

That's all.

Just came back from Fei Yue FSC. The talk was quite alright and it wasn't as boring as I had expected. Heh... Saw HuiXia too! It's so coincidental; we are going to Toa Payoh HDB Hub this Thursday. =) Anyway, after the talk, I had KFC with Nithya at Lot 1. The new chicken is really delicious! Heex... Oh gosh, I shouldn't be eating fried chicken especially when my throat just healed. =P

Infernal Affairs 3 was nice yesterday except that I didn't know what the whole movie was talking about most of the time. Heh... I thought Tony Leung died in the first part? How come he's back again? And is Leon Lai a good person or bad eh? I still didn't manage to figure it out. Haha... But it's so consoling that Andy didn't die in the end.. Heex... Nice movie but I still prefer the first part though. :)

Xian Hui, here are your photos! Heex... Your mooncakes looked nicer than mine... Lol...

I made mooncakes at Karen's house just now! It was fun and interesting. Here are my mooncakes. Visually-wise, they don't look good lar, but it sure tasted great! Heh... I'm so thick-skinned huh, praising myself... =P

Was bored, so I made some weird shapes.. Heex...

These looked more presentable..

The box Karen bought to put the mooncakes. So nice!

Had fun! Next time we should try dumplings. Hahaha...

Can't wait to go to Fei Yue Family Service Centre tomorrow. Hope it'll be fun and inspiring. Hee... =)

Busy week ahead!

Can't wait to watch Ratatouille with Karen tomorrow! Finally... Heehee... :)

Since Xian Hui mentioned that I've not blogged for quite some time (which is like only 2 days! LOL!), I'm here to blog again! Haha...

Just finished doing the 2nd draft for my Psychology term paper. Hope it'll be better than the previous attempt. Heh... I spent a lot of time doing research and had a hard time trying to modify my english to make it sound more professional. LOL!

So the recess week has arrived. But, sad to say, there's barely any time for me to relax. I've got 8 chapters of Psychology to study for the upcoming MCQ test which has 100 questions. Holy cow! How am I going to study for it?! =X

A note of randomness: I'm sick of mooncakes, and to think I've only eaten half of that durian one. That don't know what Big China mooncake lar...

Anyway, off to dinner now. Till then!

Just finished the powerpoint slides for the conflict between Bangladesh and India over water issues. Damn, I really don't understand why I'm doing this module. Sian...

I'm still living a voiceless life currently and my throat really hurts a lot. Doctor said it's throat inflammation. Whatever that is, I don't know and I'm sure I don't want to know. I just know that I'm on the verge of slashing my whole neck apart because it is so painful. Argh!

Dear voice, please come back to me by Friday because I have a presentation to do. My points depend entirely on you.... :(

Have to sleep now.

Had to miss school today. Doctor gave me 2 days' MC but I guess I can only afford to miss 1 day. It's already quite worrying to miss today's Psychology lecture and English test. Haiz... One really cannot afford to miss school nowadays.

Anyway, spent the whole day at home. That's one previlege which I have not had since school started. I guess I've been keeping myself so busy that I tend to miss out on things that are happening around me. So I spent the whole day at home enjoying myself by watching TV and coming online. Hahaha.. After today, life will get hectic again. :(

I'm glad recess week is coming.

In school now. Just finished the experiment. Argh! My head is killing me. It hurts so much. Oh my gosh, I've never experienced such terrible sensation before. Hope I'll be able to survive my Malay Lecture later on. Panadol doesn't seem to work very well with my body system eh. Oh God, please let me get better because I have a test tomorrow. And I'm looking forward to meet Lorna too tomorrow :(

Got to go for lessons now. Till then.

Argh! I don't feel very well now. It must be due to the late nights which I've been having since school started. Oh man, I can't afford to fall sick at this point of time especially when there's a test coming this Tuesday.
:(

Psychology is killing me. The concept on brain structure alone is enough to freak me out. I've never been a fan of biology and it's really torturous having to memorise human structures. And my first draft for the Psyche term paper is disastrous, after seeing what Lorna wrote. Things are really getting hectic. Oh gosh...

Look at the time, think I should sleep now... :)

I simply heart my cashcard. From now onwards, I'm going to use it everytime I shop at SS. Heehee... =P

Phew! Just completed the 1st draft for my Psychology term paper. Like finally... Haha... :D

Been very busy, but I'm actually enjoying the hectic and busy schedule that I have now. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's true! I'm really enjoying doing research for my term papers and going to school for lessons. I am so happy to say that i have not skipped any tutorial or lecture yet. Heh... Hope this discipline will maintain in me for the rest of my life. Haha... I have been very happy on the overall ever since school started! Wish Lorna can see this... Haha... :P

Attended the discipleship group meeting for Campus Crusade just now after my tutorial. It's quite fun and not as boring as I have expected. I'm glad I turned up. Heex... We did some personality tests and the result described me as a perfectionist like Moses. Heh... I don't know about Moses but ya, I think it is kind of true. :)

It's going to be another busy week ahead before recess week starts. Hmm... I've got lots of papers and tests to prepare for.

1. 18 Sept - EL1101E Test
2. 2 Oct - PL1101E Test
3. 5 Oct - PL1101E Term Paper due
4. 11 Oct - EL1101E Project due
5. Week 10 - GEK1035 Paper due
6. 22 Oct - SW1101E 2 Papers due
7. 2 Nov - MS1101E Paper due

I'm very much looking forward to the visit of 2 social service agencies. I've been allocated to Fei Yue Family Service Centre and Central Singapore Community Development Council. Hope it'll be fun. Thank goodness Nithya is in the same slots as me!

Oh yah, I felt tremors in my student's house the other night during tuition. When I felt the chair shaking at first, I was still thinking that it's going to give way soon because of my weight. But I almost freak out when I saw the standing fan shaking steadily. The furniture and television was swaying too. Since I've never experienced such tremors before, I really thought I was going to die. At that instance, I realised I'm not prepared to die yet. There're so many things which I've not accomplished. I've not tell all the people whom I love how much I love them. I was really not prepared to die. I guess I should start living like there's no tomorrow eh...

Should stop now... I'm very tired. Been typing infront of the computer since hours ago. Don't think I'll be blogging that often for the time being. Hee...

Till then!

One has decided to move on. From today onwards, one will numb herself with her studies.
One will eventually come to forget you. It hurts, but that is the best thing one can do for now.

Thank you for the memories. Our friendship, though short, is enough to last me for a lifetime.

Updates on one's life

One's life has been very hectic recently, tests and mid-term papers' deadlines seem to enjoy coming together.

One is looking forward to go Holland V with MeiYan. Heex... Food is heavenly!

One can't wait to go shopping with Ah Bao next week.

One is happy to meet Lorna next week. It's been a looooong time since one last met her. :)

One is currently crazy over this show -

One should stop now and start on one's term paper.

One apologises for the randomness :)

One is still pinning for you....

Went to Plaza Singapura this morning with WenXiu to wait for Luo Zhi Xiang. Haha.. This is the 2nd time I've met him in person this year. Heex... Anyway, today was not as bad as the other time where we had to wait for 6 hours under the sun. We only waited for about 4 hours and the whole autograph session ended 1 hour after he started. Took quite a few photos but all were of lousy quality. These 2 are the clearer ones....

Thought he was more good looking in person than on TV... Heex.. Managed to shake his hand as well. =)

Wonder when the guy below will come to Singapore... Been waiting for so loooooong already! :(

Checklist:

1. PL1101E tutorial

2. SW1101E tutorial

3. EL1101E tutorial

4. Personality and Cognition survey - 100 over questions! =X

Whoever said that university life is easy must have been either someone who has a good humour or is just plain sadistic. :(

I met Ms Toh by chance the other day at the bus stop outside JJC. Woah, it's been a long time since I last met her. Each time I think back, I feel so grateful to her for all her help and care. It's people like her who keep me going each time I feel like giving up. =)

I seriously thank God for all the people He has blessed me with.

And many other friends... Can't fit in to this collage :)

Today's lectures were very interesting! Hee.. First was English Language lecture. Dr Madelena was saying about how she felt when she first came to Singapore. She said that Singapore uses so many acryomns. For example, I live in HDB, and take the MRT. When I buy a car I need the COE. When I go to the CBD, I need to pay the ERP. She sounded so funny and she even shared about how illiterate she felt when reading the newspapers initially. Haha...

After that was Psychology lecture. It was on Biopsychology again but it's very interesting today. Prof Trevor Penney brought his dog along to demonstrate how animals respond to conditional stimulus. It's so fun to watch all the videos about dogs, birds, and even babies responding to certain stimulus.

Went to the Psychology laboratories yesterday to attend the research participation programme. Wow... The rooms looked so professional and cool. Haha... Was scheduled for an experiment which will be lasting for 30 minutes but the person told us to leave after 15 minutes. So good! Haha... The experiment was quite silly I felt. We were given a photograph of a guy and a few questions to do. One question was "Do you feel interested and happy after looking at the photo?" So silly eh... Haha...

I've been slacking quite a lot recently, with so many readings to keep up with. Darn... I need more coffee to keep me awake at night! Sian... Thank goodness Ah Bao is always accompanying me through sms to keep me entertained! Haha =P Wonder what has happened to MeiYan... Totally couldn't contact her for a few days. Hmm.. Maybe I'll drop by Commonwealth's Sheng Siong one of these days.

I've been so busy with everything that I've lost touch with my own feelings. Or did I busy myself deliberately so that I won't feel the hurt inside me? I tried to act nonchalant when I saw you by chance the other day but in actual fact the wounds are still fresh. So many years have passed but I can't bring myself to let you go. Memories of you are too deeply rooted inside my mind. Perhaps the only way is to keep myself busy....

Sigh!

A new week has started! Been very busy with my research on False Memory for my Term Paper. Though tedious, I'm enjoying every moment of my work. It's so fun knowing how your brain works and how false memories can be implanted through hypnosis. But it's quite scary when you see how people make use of false memories to abuse the legal system and cause much trauma and distress to others. Hmm...

I'm supposed to attend an Interaction Study experiment later. Have to be "guinea pigs" for the experimenters again. Haha... I can't wait for my turn to be the experimenter in future. :)

Some idiot has been making prank calls to my phone in the middle of the night, waking me up from my sleep. Damn it!

Busy week ahead! There's a test coming soon for EL1101E and 3 more term papers to start. Haiz... Wish me luck!

Going to bathe now and get ready for school. Till then!

Bao, I know you won't be reading this but I just want to say that you're much worthy of better things. Don't fret over those people, they're not worth your time and energy. I can't do anything to help you but I'll be there for you always. I'm just a call away from you. Just call and I'll be there to drink tea with you again. Cheer up! =P

Ah Bao asked me to go drink tea last night after she ended work. I was still wondering who in the right state of mind would go and drink high-tea in the middle of the night. And I realised afterwards that drinking tea = eating supper according to the Malaysian Chinese people. Haha... I must have sounded like a fool last night. ^^

Late Hong Kong singer/actress Anita Mui once said this phrase which I found extremely relevant to the world today. She said that once she gives out a cheque, she loses a friend. That is how realistic and unfeeling the society is. I never thought much of the words until today. Losing a friend of few years over money matters is really hurting. Sigh! I don't know what to do...

Went to Jurong Point just now to meet WenXiu. We wanted to go to the Sistic counter to buy tickets for LuoZhiXiang's concert but the counter was down! Anyway, her friend helped us book the tickets online, so we're going to the concert! Best seats some more! Haha!

1st December! :)
