how..

I agree with what my roomie said.

There are tons of administration to do before sch sem starts. Have to figure out so many stuff; CORS, planning of schedule, modules to take etc. Its giving me a headache.

I am stressed even before I start sch. How sad is that. Haha.

sardine PACKED

Okay, had to change blogskin.
Apparently I was stealing bandwidth from the previous creator of the skin; since I was too lazy to save and host the background pictures myself. Haha. My fault!
So now this new skin, I cant really see wad colour the background is; my monitor is on the verge of dying, meaning there are some colours that my monitor cannot display, so I'm like seeing all green. Haha.
Doesnt matter la, if it looks girly. Haha. Perhaps in this way, I can convince ppl I am a girl? Lols.

Oh, I realised I have been seeing you at least once a day for the past 4 days? That's like, a lot. Haha.
You must appreciate having an NUS student's answers to refer to! =D

Went to help out for RAG at NUS today.
Okay, so I said I'd be there at 10.
Can you blame me for being 2 hrs late? Haha. There was a traffic jam. =P
What exciting activity awaited me there?
Peeling apart egg cartons. -.-''
Nvm, every little bit for RAG helps! Haha.
The dance for the Rag day looks fun. =)
I would love to be a part of it...haha, but I think too late alrdy.
I wonder how the float would look like when its done? Hmm...

Next week onwards, my schedule will be packed..and I seriously mean it. Packed until almost no time to do anything else other than stuff involving NUS.
Too many things coming up. Hai~

moovie

Watched two 2 and a half hour shows in two straight days in a row.

"Batman - The Dark Knight"
Very well made, I feel.
It has a tense atmosphere throughout the entire show; keeps you at the edge of your seat all the way.
Some might find it quite disturbing.
Has quite a sad ending too.
Definitely worth the time and money.
One of the better shows this year.

"Red Cliff"
I think fans of 三国 stories will like it.
They actually managed to inject humour into battle scenes. Thumbs up. Lol.
It has more of a light-hearted feel to the movie, as opposed to normal war shows, where the grimness of death and destruction rises above all.
A little boring at certain parts though.
Otherwise overall, its still an okay show to watch.

I bought 2 packets of chocolate. I went home with one, though I didnt open any at all. =(
Gonna meet up with ppl I haven met in a while this coming few days.
Hmm.. I think if I really have nothing to do on thursday, I'll really pop by NUS to help in rag! LOL. That's pathetic la. Well, at least get to know more people? Haha, who am I kidding. -.-

Raffles Hall Orientation Camp. Engineering O week.
Totally clash with each other.
Furthermore the hall orientation has a COMPULSORY payment of wad, 160 bux?
Total crap.

when white turns to grey

I am tired, and half asleep, and if I dun understand, I dont care.

Last day of work over! =D
Two weeks to enjoy before being a slave to studies again. Haha.
Well, not exactly two weeks. I *might* have to go back to help out with an on-site project for a few days.
Might as well play as much as I can while I am still free. Haha.
Since I am also not tied down by anything also.

Great deal! Get all the benefits of the real thing, without the liabilities! =D

Lol. Dont you just hate it when ppl twist the words of something to make it sound more, favorable, to themselves?
Haha. When all else fails, heck care. =)
My gosh, my focus had been diverted.
I am falling behind with what's going on around me.
With what is important.
Suddenly I remembered what I told myself right from the beginning.
It has given me the approval I sought. =)
And now, I am not so bothered anymore.

Starting on a new training programme from next Monday.
Oh today before I left, my colleague was saying I looked darker, hence, er, look healthier?
Haha I dont really see the link, but that's wad she said.
Hmm... -.^

right or left

Usually the hardest 'right' choices hurt the most, but they also grant the most satisfaction and relief at the end.
Haven known I had chosen to tread the 'right' path, is reward enough.
That ends this chapter of my life.
Act 3 starts soon.

M & M's

Ok so Im back from Union Camp, darker than ever. Lol.
The first 2 days suked. Luckily the next 2 days were much better, otherwise I'd have been wasting my 55 bux. Haha.
Made new friends.
Kent Ridge Hall is a very nice place to stay...if only I had managed to get it. =(
Oh well.
Anyway, I shant go into the details of what happened in the camp. Too lengthy. Haha. Played games, moved around the east side of Singapore playing 'Amazing Race', did cheers, got wet, got burnt in the sun, got to know a secret pal blah blah. The usual. =)

Thanks to Shuen for your card, and puzzle and er, what was the last thing...oh ya, the meal yesterday. How was monkey brains for lunch? HAha. =)
The card was quite touching, though, I din cry as you said I would. But nvm, I'll still tell you I cried. Lol. Thanks again.
The puzzle is the cutest thing in the world. [Get what I am trying to say here? Haha.]
So anyway, thanks many. Your kind thoughts are appreciated.

I got called up for reservist in-camp training in January next year. -.-
2 weeks; 1 week uni holidays, the 2nd week sch started again alrdy.
So I want to go also cannot, have to try to defer.
Haha. SHit.

3...2...1...ouch.

Phew phew. Really tiring week!
Haha. Physically, but more of mentally.

I shall now proceed to bore you with my insignificant ramblings. =)

Went out with colleagues on friday night. Apparently as a dinner for all those who are going to leave the company soon. Dinner at Billy Bomber's, followed by a period of uncertainty before deciding to go K at partyworld Orhard. Had supper at HongKong Cafe Cineleisure; and after that just plain chatted the night away. (Blah blah blah...)

Its interesting to know some stuff about them you'd never have otherwise known on a normal day. =)

Well, obviously we were super tired by the time we could take the first train back. I think the 4 of us who were taking train back were dam stupid. Lol. (oh he's still going on...?)

Firstly, we waited (slept) at the platform at Somerset MRT for 11 mins to take the Jurong East train to City Hall. We boarded it when it came.
Am I the only one thinking that there is something wrong with this?
Go figure. Haha. (*yawns*...)

Next, "Dont worry, I will be able to wake up at Serangoon and then wake u all up so that u all can go back...ya so you all can go slp." she said.

Next thing we heard, "Buangkok Station. Please mind the gap." Lol.

Crossed the platform again. By the time I made it home it was alrdy 7 15 am. My dad was just about to go for work. Haha. (Someone make this guy stop!)

Went to city area to look for something in the afternoon, though unfortunately couldn find what I was looking for. =(
Wasted trip. Hai~

Finally got my external hard drive back! =D
Like...........FINALLY. Haha.
At least my PSP is more than a brick right now. (No offense to anyone who lost his/her psp =P)

LAte for guitar lesson. But what's new. Haha.

Rushed back to get ready for my dad's dunno what rotary step up ceremony. Reached home, and had to leave almost immediately again. (I am not paying attention to his story anymore.)

Boring dinner. Boring speeches. What more can I say. I wouldn have gone if it wasnt so impt for my dad. Haha. (yea, and boring, just like you)



That about sums up stuff. Haha. (...!! Finally. Lol.)

Btw, this is just an extra post that I typed cos I was just feeling too sian.
I was supposed to meet my frens 2 hours ago.
I have not finished packing.
I am vexed, in more ways than one.

commiseration? =(

A movie is taking place.
I am just an actor in it.
Who's filming?
Haha.

Went to Changi Airport today? Haha, couldnt believe I actually went there.
Im repeating myself again when I say, I always thought Changi Airport the other areas besides the departure halls would look more...scenic. Its just walls everywhere. Lol.

Everyone was tired. Somebody was especially tired.

All I could do was just look on and smile a resigned smile.

Yes, I believe the 'terrible truth'.
Even if its only me believing it.
I dont know what to do now.

Anyway, I am going to end work soon. =)
Ole. Lol.

Btw, this is not an emo post. Haha.

psyche

A wave of melancholy came swept over me this afternoon, silently, suddenly, and intensely, almost bringing me over the edge. Lol. Though I managed to nip it in the bud in the end.
I was talking to my colleague about something, and he got to the point where he said something very enlightening.
Something about me and a heck-care attitude walking hand in hand...lol...
Whether its a compliment or an insult, it doesnt really matter.
I had a realisation.
He was right. Since when did I start ever letting something like that affect me so much?
It will not take control of me. I will not be a slave to that emotion.
I will not break that past promise to myself. That incident will not repeat itself.

Just this afternoon, I was tired to the point of exhaustion.
Now, I am re-energised. =D

The power of the mind is so strong its scary.

Oh btw, I am actually in the office at the moment. =)
