This week has flew by in a blur. Probably because I skipped HW111 lecture on Tuesday, HL105 tutorial on Wednesday, HW111 tutorial on Thursday, and left halfway during HL211 lecture. LOL. Yes, I must stop skipping lectures/tutorials.

On Wednesday, I went back to SRJC with Janesa, Belle and Nat. 'Cause Janesa wanted to see the teachers before she leave for Australia. The school seemed to have changed quite a bit. Lucky them. Janesa, Nat and I went to the K-ster at Chinatown after that. It was so much cheaper compared to KBox! The place looks a bit dodgy, and the room is kinda old, but it was okay! The songs are rather new. Haha. We had a good time near the end singing to old english pop songs. Well, not exactly old, since they're like late 1990s songs..but you get what I mean.

Friday afternoon and evening was wasted at Cityhall, where I attempted to shop for my CNY clothes, with Janesa accompanying me. But stupid me. I already went Cityhall the previous time with XJ and Cher, and I found absolutely nothing. I don't know what possessed me to suggest Cityhall again. Even Belle, who only joined us at 6 plus, and she was only intending to buy a pair of shorts, bought her shorts and a top in just minutes after she joined us. I am so suay in shopping. Its either I don't see stuff that suits me, or they don't have my size. Tsk. Dinner was at Kenny Rogers. Yeah, again.

We spent the night at Janesa's place, all were there except for Belle. And...its our first successful movie/drama marathon. LOL. None of us fell asleep while watching, which is amazing! I still remember the last time all of us spent the night together was at Belle's chalet, watching 任我熬游, which knocked most of us out. Haha. We had Macs for breakfast! At like 6 plus in the morning. Nuts right. Its such an early breakfast. After that I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to head home to sleep. I wanted to wake up at 9am, but somehow I slept through my alarm and when I woke up, I realised to my horror that it was already 1 plus in the afternoon. Damn.

So today, at night, we had a barbeque at Janesa's place. It was a surprise for her! (: That girl didn't even realise anything even though her parents were going up and down to take stuff for us or to bring stuff up. Her parents were damn sweet by the way, they're like super nice people. I will not go into further details of my Saturday, because it just wasn't my day.

I still need to read Jane Eyre, and then get started on Bleak House. CNY week seems bleak(Hahaha, I'm sorry!) now.

And I still need to get my CNY clothes or I won't have anything to wear. ):  

Its really a pain in the ass when people questioned me about my major.

Them: *screechy voice* hellooooo!! so long never see you!! what are you doing now? studying??
Me: Oh I'm at NTU, doing English Lit.
Them: *super shocked expression* ENGLISH LITERATURE AH?? Then next time do what? Teacher is it?! *collapses into fit of giggles*
Me: Err. I'm not very sure yet. See how first lor.
Them: Harrrhhh. See how ah. But you study this next time confirm is be teacher mah! What else can you do??

I get quite annoyed because I really don't know how to answer them. The truth is, I really really wouldn't mind teaching primary school kids, but I don't want to see that as my only potential career choice. I mean, there's surely something out there for me right?? And whatever you learnt in school doesn't necessarily mean you will definitely be able to apply it in the working world. There are so many people out there with jobs that don't even have anything to do with their diplomas/degrees. So why not just get a degree first, doing something you like? So that at least you enjoy your school years? Maybe I'm being naive for thinking that the discipline of your study is not super important. But I still think I rather study something that I'm interested in, so that even in the midst of feeling like I'm being buried alive by school work, I don't feel totally defeated. Rather than struggling in something that I'm not interested in, I choose to believe that it would be less tiring to struggle in something that interests me. I am kinda dreading the CNY visits. My relatives will definitely ask. And I have 100% confidence that they'll surely ask if I'll be a teacher next time. 9 out or 10 people had that response.

So far, for my HL211 module, we've watched Broken Blossoms, Shanghai Express and The World of Suzie Wong. I think Broken Blossoms was really good, but it wasn't my kind of thing, so...I like it but didn't love it. Shanghai Express is a black and white film that was just slooowww moooviiing. I think out of all 3, I like The World of Suzie Wong the best. Its quite a comedy. LOL. The plot is such that it gets kinda drama series-like towards the end, but overall I really enjoyed it. It got me thinking a bit of what our lecturer said about the definition of 'Asian' or 'Oriental' being...not very defined. Haha! Hmm I think he meant for us to see that in all films, but because I like The World of Suzie Wong, my brain was actually functioning when I watched the film. (:

I need to start studying already. I've been slacking still. Tskkkk.

The event that Student Fund is planning is drawing nearer. This means more meetings and more work to do. I hope my school work doesn't sacrifice much.

Whooo I can't wait for the sleepover at Janesa's house next Friday! And our shopping on Wednesday! And hopefully next week I'll also get to watch Atonement. I also want to watch The Mist and 27 Dresses (it looks like an okaaay chick flick), but I'm really dying to catch Atonement. Jay Chou has a movie called Kungfu Dunk or something like that right? Hahaha please don't laugh at me. It looks stupid, I know, but I still want to catch it. /: I mean, his Initial D and Secret wasn't that bad! Speaking of movies, and celebrities, I heard from Nat that Heath Ledger died. ): So sad. I've always thought he's a rather good actor. And quite cute somemore. What a pity. And Nat said he has a kid! Ahh really very saddening. The Dark Knight haven't even start showing yet, guess he won't have a chance to see audience's response to it.

I will go off in an attempt to read a bit more of Jane Eyre before I sleep. Oh and guess what. Now its my turn to have ulcer(s)!! One under my tongue, one on the gum. Ouch. I can't open my mouth too big. LOL. And I can only chew with one side of my mouth. ): I think it doesn't help that I am soo not drinking enough water.

Add/Drop period ends tomorrow, and I finally got a time-table that I am really satisfied with. Satisfied in the sense that, I no longer have a compelling urge to check STARS everytime I go online. (: 

I actually had a free day on Monday, but now I don't have it anymore. Its okay, because I got the elective that I wanted in the first place, HS813, which is about tourism! (: Even though I got a B minus for my Sociology elective the last semester, I'm still going to take this Sociology elective because I really want to do tourism. Oh and it fulfils my GER-PE requirements of having to take one subject from Arts and Humanities. *happy*

Now my time table goes like this:

People who can't stand it when I fangirl over 小猪, please ignore me now! LOL.

小猪's new MV is out! And I can't help but post the link here because...he plays the piano in this MV! WHOOO.  

Anyway in the music video of 最后的风度, the male lead wrote a letter to the female lead after they had broken up, and after he gave her the box filled up with their 'memories'. It says:

亲爱的比比 (I think this means 'baby'.LOL.) :
也许我做不到 你最想要得幸福
但是我还可以送给你微薄的祝福
希望收集这些我们曾经拥有过
"最快乐的快乐"
让下一个人 来完整你的幸福

SO SAAAAD. ):

I appealed for 2 electives! One is astronomy (I don't know why I do that, maybe its because of Yi Fen, but largely because of its time slot; it fits my schedule better than many other electives.) and the other is tourism under sociology. LOL many people are like, "Sociology again??" I know I know, I got a B minus for that module last semester, but I'm really very interested in tourism. Hope I can get an elective soon... *crosses fingers and prays hard*

I watched Shakespeare In Love yesterday! Nat, I didn't cry! HAHA. I think its because I know what's going to happen already. And you told me about so many parts lor, you spoiler. LOL. But I like the movie. (: Oh and I watched this Japanese movie(?) called Princess Mononoke or something like that. Ah I wonder if Nat has the soundtrack to that. So yes, I'm supposed to start on Jane Eyre but I spent yesterday going online and then watching two movies. Today I was in town after school, and I came online after I reached home. I will start on Jane Eyre tomorrow. I must. 

Today's lecture was the most interesting out of all the lectures that I've been to. It was HL211 Representations of Asia: Asians in Hollywood. The first lecture that I didn't feel sleepy or bored. Okay, towards the end maybe a little, but that's just because sitting there too long will make anyone sleepy. I was genuinely interested in what the lecturer had to say. Haha. But omg, I hope I don't get some strange tutors who like to talk nonsense for tutorials. Next week will be the real first week, because tutorials will start. Let next week be good please!
