Exams have finally ended last Wednesday. LIKE, FINALLY. I felt like I've waited for so damn long. My April was basically made up of:

1) Essays. I don't know why all the essays seem to be due at around the same time. So it was really one essay after another. I almost died. And speaking of essays, you know how some people can just whip out an A essay without having to look for secondary sources, or even doing it at the very last minute? Its so damn demoralising omg. And it just reminds me that I'll never be this smart. ):

2) Exams. They flew past, and... I don't think I did very well. Since everything was so last minute. And by the last paper, I'm just in holiday mood already. LOL. I hope I didn't do TOO badly.

3) Zhongshen's and Shulian's 21st. Both celebrations just show the difference between one in which I knew more than half the people there, and one that I don't even know one quarter of the people there. LMAO. The contrast is amazing. Felt totally at ease at one, and felt so awkward at the other. I actually felt restrained please. LOL.

4) Nonsense things that I did in between all these. Fangirl-ing is a huge part. I don't think you want to know more. LOL. And this is a misconception that I must clear up: Why do people think that fangirling automatically means watching videos on youtube? There's more to fangirling than that. HAHAHA. I mean, I watched very few stuff in the month of April (I haven't even finish Boys Before Flowers please), but the fangirl-ing went on. I don't have to watch videos to fangirl, you know. So next time you want to ask me to do my work or study, don't say "Stop watching videos!" 'Cause I can tell you, I'm honestly not doing that. Hahaha.

Yesterday was a nice day spent with _ochre  even though we seriously did not make any plans except to have brunch at Prive bakery cafe (WHICH WAS SO GOOD, I am so going back there again.) at Keppel harbour. We're slightly nuts to go all the way there for brunch, but it was worth it omg. You kinda have to walk all the way in, but its a nice walk despite the scorching sun. So, even with no plans, we managed to make our way to the National Museum (which was not even our intended destination, its just that we happened to stop at that bus stop) and had free entry to the Christian Lacroix exhibition because of our red nails. LOL. What a pleasant surprise. Christian Lacroix is all kinds of genius.

On Wednesday we went to see Cats. GAH I TOTALLY ENJOYED IT.

And on Monday (yes, even before exams ended), I met the girls for dinner at The Queen & Mangosteen. Loved the ambience and the food! And the company of course. Too much beer though.

All these goes to show that I need to cut back on my spending before I get a job. ): Or I'm really going to be broke soon. But I feel like there are so many things that I want to do, see, watch and eat. LOL. I'm a deprived child.

IT'S THE RECESS WEEK! I wanted to update about the last day of school before recess week, because it was just so 'eventful', but was too caught up in doing other stuff. But here it is, my Friday:

( my friday )

I thought my recess week will be damn free, but now I look at my schedule, not really. ): I've got 3 SF meetings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Marketing meeting on Tuesday. And I need to do my Spanish assignment, start on my HL304 essay, hopefully catch up a little on my readings (though I am doubting this will happen), do whatever I need to for marketing, and all these while there will definitely be event stuff to settle. I thought I will be quite free, damn it.

Anyway, I decided to reject the INSTEP offer to Monterrey. For those interested, and are still reading this long, mundane post...I turned it down mainly because I don't think I should be spending 10k on somewhere that I only don't mind going, and not absolutely dying to go. (Yes, I can't deal with that idea.) Since 10k is a big amount to me and my family. If I want to try paying for myself, I don't know how I'm going to raise 10k in these 3 months. (Maybe I should apply to get money from my event. HAHHAHA.) And it doesn't feel right to ask my parents to pay the bulk of it when its a luxury for myself. Yes, I know its a rare opportunity and everything, but 机会是自己找的, opportunities can be created, so if I really want to go somewhere, I think I'll just find a way in the future. And if my GPA doesn't fall, I can still try to apply for somewhere less expensive (and I would have saved up more by then, I hope) next semester right?

Also, my dad says he will only let me go if there is someone else going. But like, WTH? How would I know who is going? And his reason is that Mexico is quite dangerous now. Okay, the whole world is saying that. BAH.

And this means that I can actually do things that I want during my 3 months holidays instead of trying desperately to find a job that pays well. Yay. Japanese lessons, anyone?

Alright, I'm in a better mood since I'm done with my part of the marketing presention, and have completed my World Cinema readings for last week. (LOL YES LAST WEEK. I TOLD YOU I'M SLOW.) Now all I need to do for the rest of the week is to do my Spanish homework for tomorrow, finish reading the play 'Mankind' before my tutorial on Friday, and maybe try to complete at least ONE Shakespeare text by this week since I haven't even finish reading Richard II. ): OH and call up Adidas again since the person haven't call me back though he said he will. ): And if I'm not wrong I think I'm supposed to meet my marketing groupmates tomorrow but like...nobody confirmed anything? LOL.

**********

I've been craving for Spanish food, more specifically, paella, ever since _ochre  mentioned that she went sometime this week. I keep thinking about paella, omg. LOL. JANESA, WE MUST GO BEFORE YOU GO BACK AUSSIE KAE.

**********

I realise I can't listen to DBSK's 'Kiss the Baby Sky' in public because Yoochun's random sentences at the start and somewhere in the middle make me feel like laughing whenever I hear it.

**********

I think I'm enjoying my classes now more than the horrible first two weeks of school. I still need to get used to one of my lecturer's way of conducting lecture...since he talks fast and has a freaking script, LOL. But okay, it was better this week already. And he uploaded his script! AHAHHA. And though I totally had no intention of taking a drama module and was quite !@#$%^&* when I found out that its assigned to us, I think I like that module now. LOL.

**********

We watched Nang Nak, a popular Thai film, yesterday. And found out that ADM IS SUCH A NICE PLACE. THE LIBRARY IS SO PRETTY. Oh and we got to watch the film on PLASMA TV. ON A SOFA/COUCH. My only gripe is that the sofa was so near to the tv that I went home with a headache, and it lasted till I went to sleep.

**********

Its been so super windy. Like, if I wear a hat out, I'm so sure it'll get blown away. If I wear a skirt, I think it will fly up. If I wear an unbuttoned cardigan, it will fly open unflatteringly. But of course, if I don't wear anything, I'll be damn cold. Yeah, its been so cold that when I'm washing up at night before I sleep, I will shiver and my teeth will start chattering from the cold wind. I don't think I've ever been so cold in SINGAPORE before??

**********

I actually can't wait for Chinese New Year. It'll be a short break, but still, its a welcomed break.

You might have realised that I haven't talked about school ever since the new semester started (1 week plus now?), because honestly speaking, its so much more depressing as compared to last semester. For one, I haven't completed any readings yet because I'm just trying to...do a million and one things at one go, and I don't think I'm a pro at multi-tasking. Instead of coming back from the holidays feeling all recharged, I feel even more tired, both physically and mentally. Its the feeling of never-ending work (No, I don't mean for my modules. Not yet anyway. LOL.) and the possibility of screwing things up (WHICH HAS ALR HAPPENED) that's making me unhappy. Can't wait for this semester to be over more than anything. And it has only just started. I need to start on my school work, I don't want my grades to slip. ): And furthermore, I kind of like my modules this semester (despite whatever complaints I might have), so I really want to go get into the momentum of reading.

And OMG. Today was like, the longest day ever. I SWEAR. Going school early in the morning to catch a film for HL304 class, which was in the afternoon, WAS A BAD IDEA. Seriously. Nat, next time we watch on Tuesday okay! And today's class felt like the longest class ever too. I have no idea why. The tutor showed many clips, and I think me and Kat were like, braindead from the lack of sleep, that after a while we just cannot remember which clip was from which film. Lecture part felt too rushed, tutorial part felt damn slow and long. LOL. We should probably get our sleep to feel normal again. I like the lecture's content though. I thought it was interesting. (: After the SF meeting, I was just...gone already. I had to force my eyes like O_O so that I won't look like a zombie.

OH, AND COMPETITION IS STIFF FOR THE APPLICATION OF STUDENT EXCHANGE. ): The coordinator's words keep haunting me: "70% of you won't be able to go anywhere..."

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually glad that I was at Orchard tonight. I met up with Janesa just now to see Nat carol... Yes we are such great friends. *does the fist to heart action to Nat* HAHAHAA. Anyway, I said that I was glad because...it was nice to walk down Orchard Road and see people carolling, taking pictures, giving out stuff. Its like, wow, Christmas is really here. (: For years, I avoided Orchard Road like the plague whenever Christmas draws near because I don't like squeezing with a bunch of people. So even though I complained just now to Janesa about the throngs of shopping crowd and whatever people there, now I know why people still choose to go Orchard even when its damn crowded. Of course, I'm not saying that I'll happily go Orchard again tomorrow night or on Christmas itself, because...the crowd still gets to me and I'm afraid that I'll commit a crime in the heat of the moment... LOL. Maybe next year, nearing Christmas again. (:

Which reminds me. Christmas is in two days, and so far I've only written like, 4 cards? LOL. So I guess I'll pass the cards personally to those that I'll be seeing soon. Sorry, no snail mail this year for you people!

*****

This month saw me stepping into the cinema more regularly again! The Day The Earth Stood Still was alright, I suppose. But with so many sci-fi/aliens/reminder-about-our-environment sort of movies that...I don't know, this one doesn't particularly make a strong impression. It was not bad though, just...not impressive/memorable. Twilight was LOL. Especially when Edward Cullen looked like he wanted to puke after seeing Bella for the first time. I laughed so hard, omg. And their dialogue is actually quite funny as well. There was one line that was so cheesy that I'll probably remember it for life. Edward said to Bella, "You're like a drug to me. Like my own personal brand of heroine." AHAHAHA. Alright, I won't even talk about the characters because how the actors want to portray their character might be different and...I don't blame them if they're different from my own impressions. But it was definitely draggy at some parts. Like a taiwanese drama. LOL. And no, I didn't like it. I rather enjoyed Ip Man! (: I thought Donnie Yen did a good job. Of course, it would be better if they let the audience know more the Wing Chun moves. 'Cause it focuses more on the story and the Sino-Japanese war instead, which might have neglected the kungfu a bit. But a lot of action, so it was good enough. (: Now I can't wait to watch Australia. Don't know if I'll get to watch on Saturday.

*****

The holidays is just left with 1 week and a half. I haven't even done much. I saw more of XJ and the rest...that's good. I could wake up at whatever time I like...that's good too. But I keep feeling like I still have things left undone for my CCA, which is true, but it just feels like its never-ending. I'm not complaining. No, Kat, I'm really not. 'Cause I really want our event to work too. So I will try to do what I can for my part. But I am hoping that March will come sooner and I don't have to feel the constant need to be doing some work anymore. For now, I have to settle the police permit (girl, please let me know if my proposal is fine), get back to the lady in charge of our application at Tote Board and do the Adidas thing. And I should probably do the minutes of today's meeting by tomorrow.

But well! I'm telling myself that this will be all worth it. So yeah, Kat, you hang in there too. You're probably more tired than any of us. LOL.

*****

Note to self: I must enjoy myself next week.

Its been... one and a half weeks?

I have finally...

1. BOUGHT A NEW IPOD. YAY. ITS ALL PRETTY AND..PRETTY..
2. Finished watching Code Blue. I stopped at Episode 8 like, long time ago, and I finally continued today and finished the last 3 episodes.
3. Fangirl without restraint. AH DONG BANG SHIN KI (and Big Bang, okay, more like Top) I LOVE YOU.
4. Started going to the cinema again. The Sky Crawlers and Cape No. 7. (:
5. Went singing after many many months. Okay this one I have to elaborate. We went to this place in the Bugis area to sing, and omg we totally embarrassed ourselves. LOL THIS STUPID XIAOJI. KEEP TRYING TO SING OLD SONGS. The best was when she actually chose this song by Sammi Cheng called 眉飞色舞 or something. For those well-versed in the taiwan entertainment, that song sounded very 台 (like the beat and the tune and all). LOL and for some strange reason, (I think its because that song is damn high) we started dancing like those 台客 and laughing like mad women while singing that stupid song. That Serene just sat there and laughed at us. And its only LATER on that she told us that the service staff kept walking past our door to look at us. WTF. Dunno how to say earlier. And remind me to never let XJ go near the control screen again.
6. Fallen sick with flu and a sore throat. I'm so pro, please. I already felt them surfacing during exam period, and I managed to stop them until now.

Alright, this will be a short post. SHORT RIGHT, YIFEN?! (:      

This song has been in my head all night. ANYBODY HAVE THIS SONG CAN SEND IT TO ME PLEASE? PLEASE PLEASE? So that I can listen and it won't be stuck in my head. ):


I guess Britney's new video sort of resembles her Toxic one... But whatever. At least she looks hot again. And sane. LOL.

This calls for a brief update since my previous entries were either memes (which were quite fail since everyone basically ignores me, LOL. next time i will just do and not attempt to ask anyone to do it.) or rants about school.

I am both happy and sad that:

1. HL209 essay has been postponed to next Friday. Yay because it's postponed. Woe because it's postponed (means that I will procrastinate). KAT PLEASE SHARE SOME MOTIVATION THAT YOU ARE FEELING NOW.

2. It is going to be exams in about one month's time. This semester has flew by unbelievably fast. I can't even keep track of what's happening. So yay because holidays is coming again, woe because exams are coming even sooner.

3. I am fangirl-ing over DBSK instead of doing my work. OMG. Stop...please. Yay because...shit I have no idea what's there to be happy about, but I just have a fun time watching the boys. This is bad. Woe because...well I can't exactly write about DBSK during exams, right? Or in my essays? This is a super x100 bad timing to have a new subject to fangirl.

Note to self: stop....or I will slap you. (Now we're turning all schizo!)

And I feel like I haven't been to the movies for a damn long time. The last movie I watched was... Painted Skin? And it was all lol and random.

I am definitely looking forward to the holidays. And during the holidays, I will be looking forward to school reopening. And the cycle continues.

I realised I haven't updated for quite some time!

( my week )

Yay, recess week is next week! But so much things to do. ):

I am kind of worried that I won't be able to finish what I have to. Well you can say that I'm on schedule 'cause I've studied and did my online quiz for CS100 already. AND THAT WAS ANNOYING BECAUSE I SCORED ONLY 12.5 OUT OF 15. >:( Now all I have to do, is to get the last meeting's minutes done up and mass emailed, try to finish Sour Sweet, do my Spanish assignment, email KHL, start on the proposal to be sent to Chronicle and maybe read the poems for HL207 so that I will know what's going in lecture on Monday. Sounds do-able if I stop getting distracted and doing all sorts of nonsense instead. (:

Finally met up with Lydia this week after 5 billion years have passed. Nat and I were supposed to celebrate her birthday with her and her birthday was like what, 23rd August? LOL.

Okay life is EXTREMELY BORING now. Can't wait for the recess break. Oh wait. But that'll probably be spent working on assignments and other stuff that needs to be done. I want to go for a high tea buffet though. After talking about it the other day. (: ANYBODY UP FOR IT? JUST THINK OF ALL THE DESSERTS AND CAKES AND WHATEVER ELSE THERE IS.

And this is a bad time to start watching Gossip Girl and ANTM and 篮球火. Not to mention Code Blue that I've left hanging at some episode that I can't remember is what. Ugh why didn't Gossip Girl and ANTM start showing during the holidays. !@#$%^&*

This week has been nothing but suay-ness.

On Monday, the strap of my bag broke. Like, the bag that I just gotten one month ago?? The salesgirl still told me I can put heavy stuff into the bag, no problem. Shit me only. ):

On Tuesday, I FELL DOWN. That's right, I fell down. It haven't happened in a million years. Nat and I were like changing seats in the cinema 'cause we got some lousy seats. I tripped over a step and fell. I SWEAR it was some phantom step. Because I was really looking at where I was going. And it has nothing to do with my eyes because I was wearing my spectacles at that time. Pffffft. So now my knees are damn painful because I fell down hard, there are two red angry patches because the skin is grazed by the carpet. I hate superficial wounds like that because they sting instead of just hurting like a twisted ankle or something. WA LAO I tried wearing jeans and it was like having someone press my wound all the time because jeans are tight around the knee area. So guess I have to show the world my ugly wounded knees. Rather that than bear the pain from covering them up with jeans.

And the scary thing is, I TOTALLY JINXED MYSELF. Before the movie, like when we were going for lunch, we were talking about clumsiness and klutziness. Nat said she's a klutz. I happily told her I'm not and that I haven't fallen down in a million years. HO HO HO. GUESS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN GOD IS LISTENING INTO YOUR CONVERSATIONS.

And today, my tuition kid's mum requested that I switch back to twice a week (last week I told her I can only come by once a week) because exams are coming. Sigh. I agreed 'cause I didn't want to 见死不救. Though I might be the one dying if I don't have enough time to do my readings and complete the proposals for SF in time. LOL. OKAY TOUCH WOOD.

The only good thing this week is... I watched 4Bia already? LOL. IT WAS SOME SCARY SHIT I TELL YOU. ESPECIALLY THE LAST TWO STORIES. (:
