I have been waking up at 10plus everyday and studying till night time. Sounds very hardworking right? Yeah, but the progress is still slow and how much of it actually retains in my brain remains a mystery.

I have been busy ever since, dating my notes and books. The only entertainment is when night time comes and im in front of the computer. Ever wonder why time passes so fast when you're in front of the computer and surfing the net, only to realise two to three hours passed?

I kept tripping in school on Tuesday and I developed a sore tonsil and an ulcer on my lower gum. :( I went Tea Garden to study on Tuesday night and I saw David Lin and Weijie. So coincidental. (:

Anyway I was studying today and for some weird reason, I was reminded of that incident. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't think too much cos I wouldn't be hearing much from the person on weekdays. Today I actually wondered if the person is going to ever contact me again.

I really wonder. It kept me occupied the whole time after dinner.
There's so much that I want to type here but it's best not to. Even if things are resolved, its never going to be the same anymore. I still remember those days when it was much simpler. Our priorities have changed totally, which is a pity.

Perhaps I'm thinking too much, perhaps not. I'll wait and see for myself. Argh. I'm just trying to keep myself occupied to keep myself from thinking about it.

STARDEE.



The weekend just slipped by and I didn't enjoy the weekend either.

I spent saturday studying at Woodlands library at about 12plus to 8plus. I realised that there's alot more to cover.

It just took a simple sentence which sparked off something unhappy. I don't feel good either. It was the first time such a thing happened and my heart just felt very heavy. Fullstop. I wished that things didn't have to turn out the way it did. I wrote a long post yesterday and was hesitating whether or not to post, but decided not to.

Enough said.



S-T-A-R-D-E-E.
That's what i did for today, or rather for this whole week but as mentioned earlier on my progress was at the pace of a snail. For the past two days, we brought food into the room and had our brunch before we start studying. It's important to fill up the stomach before studying too. (:

Today was a rather much power-packed session, though the whole day i just managed to finish 5 macro tutorial questions and started abit on a new chapter. It takes time but I roughly get the idea and hopefully, I wont forget about it! ha.

One more week to prelims, as much as I know I probably cannot make it in time to finish studying but I really hope to cover as much as possible. =X
Most of my time will then be spent on stardee-ing from now on.



Stardee-d in school today and my pace is still as slow as snail. I did 3 lectures of POA.
(:

As quoted from Santono, please intro Mr Motivation to me!
I need to STARDEE.
From now onwards, I think I will be seen very often in school.



The eRev was yesterday and I was scheduled at 8am. I was expecting some technical problems to arise so I woke up at 8.30 when I can log in, like finally. Having just woke up, I'm still in a very sleepy mode and thus when I saw the schedule my first reaction was just one word. Wow.

I didn't know where to start from and is practically lost and, probably have got no idea how to choose. At the end of the day, I fitted my time tables nicely and choosing similar slots with Karen when I can, especially for FI. If I were to attend it alone, I think I might give it a miss. Some classes were full by the time I'm done with my selections and gotta re-choose again! This time, I was in a hurry as I was afraid that the classes might be full by the time I'm done. Hence, I made a wrong selection when I could have gotten a better timing. Sigh .. I don't wish to talk about it anymore!

Remember initially I wanted to book a chalet for my 21st with Jun Xiang? Well there were some problems along the way and I don't feel like opening a chalet anymore and just make do with dinners with different groups of friends on different days, at a nicer place of my choice - hopefully. I hope to be able to book / dine at OneRochester but i'm still waiting for them to get back to me with the quotations!

My decision to do away with the chalet was finalized when I selected Corporate Finance UOL (full day) revision class on the 28th and 29th March; Saturday and Sunday respectively. It was the only time slot for CF available anyway. My revision classes starts on the 20th March and extends all the way till 28th April. My first paper is on 7th May. Oh and I found out that I've got a few similar classes as Ming Long too, and probably some of the rest of the year 2s. (: (: At least I've got company for some classes like Macro Local revision class. yippeees.

And boy, my studying progress is definitely at a pace of a snail, or probably even slower. I don't pin much hopes on the prelims but I'm still glad that I made the effort to study the horrendous and scary Macroeconomics. I took like 2 study sessions just to understand the first two chapters. :( That's really bad! I'm going to study tmr and hopefully will be fruitful!

This entry's getting longer but before I end, just let me whine about my Ms Excel. I was doing some tabulations just now and it keeps on hanging! I hope it doesn't die on me else .... I've got no idea what to do except to fall back on my old acer with 97 Ms Excel. hurhur! Oh please Ms Excel, I need you. I really do.

Ah, I'm off to bed already! I'm going to study in school tmr. (: (:



I think I am blind and I always make such mistakes which I really hate myself for!
CRAP.



The technical error is still not solved yet. Yesterday morning they dropped me a message yesterday morning telling me that my eRev is scheduled at 3pm so I brought my laptop along with me to school.

All in all they texted me four times in a day. First was the schedule, and before 3pm they texted me telling me the system's down. Fine. So i waited and they texted me again telling me it was up and not very long after, they told me its down again. Thanks ah.

Met Jiajia in school and we went to the car boot sale at the Plaza in school and I got myself a top for $15. haha! So much for studying. I went home to put down my stuffs first before meeting Nat, Eunice and Angela for dinner at Holland. The rest didn't turn up. I walked past Crystal Jade and it was overly crowded (if there's such a word). Everywhere was full by about 9plus so we went over to Starbucks and was lucky to find a table when we reached there. (:

Btw this morning the school texted me to tell me that I'm scheduled for eRev at 8am on Monday. We'll see if they will text me again probably at 7.59am on Monday. (:

I've decided not to book Aranda because its way too expensive and will settle for Aloha Loyang's Garden Terrace and will be holding it on a Friday instead of a Saturday because they are fully booked on Saturday. Its better than having to pay so much anyway.



JX just checked with Aloha Loyang, no more chalets available on a weekend. Now, we're left with Aranda but its approx $600. Should I/ We ? Its excluding food and, the essentials like extra tables and chairs.

The problem with procrastinating. I think I need to make a decision soon just in case even Aranda's occupied too! But when I think about it, 300 for just two nights and it's doing the usual stuff which is pretty common plus i've got other worries at the back of my head too. However I did entertain the thought of doing up the place into some cosy corner and making it look as grand as it can out of that place. haha!

ah wells.



I was supposed to study at woodlands library but because we were late thus we did not manage to get a table. I was supposed to meet SY and JG at 10.30am at cck but I woke up at 10am. If you noticed there's like a pattern. Each time i'm supposed to meet early, I always wake up at 10am! I think I need a new alarm clock, because it seems that i'm quite "immuned" to my phone's alarm. I even set like 6 alarms in total. (3 different timing on each phone). That's really really, bad.

We did manage to find a place to settle down to study in the end. Time check: 1pm or so. We studied all the way till about 9pm, with breaks in between of course. I felt that I wasn't very productive yesterday though. :( I shall try harder again another time.

Jr dropped us off at Yishun and I met Elena. I went home to bring my baby lancer over to tea garden. I parked infront of some bush or whatever and when I went back to the car, I see ants all over my boot area. It was a really sickening sight! I cannot stand it so I went for a car wash. I will never ever park in front of some bush or whatever anymore, especially at night! (oh, I forgot I only can drive at night)

:(



NP's Canteen one is going to close soon and the stalls are moving over to Makan Place. That's pretty sad because canteen one has played a rather significant part during my days in NP. :( Anyhow, I ate Yong Tau Foo today. It's been two years since I ate from that stall because of a bad experience.

Remember two years back I was driving to school on a rainy morning and my tyre was punctured. Thankfully Malcolm and James was with me in the car too, and for some reason I totally forgot all about Blk 72's sheltered area at Level 3. They end up helping me change the tyre under the rain! Imagine that. Somemore, we're pretty new to such things. We had a pretty hard time.. After everything was done, we had breakfast at Canteen 1 and I ordered my usual Yong Tau Foo but the food that day didn't taste as good. I couldn't even finish half of my food and I felt like puking with each bite.

I didn't bring my notes to school to study thus, when I reached home I don't feel like going back to school to study anymore. I chose to stay home and studied instead. I also scrapped the plan of going for a jog. Sighs. But I did clear one chapter at the end of the day.



The weekend passed by idly and so did I.

If it was me previously, I guess I would have felt upset seeing that you had to leave. Thank you for the wonderful memories that you left behind and the not-so-fine ones but it doesn't matter anymore. Goodbye my friend.

I am one satisfied student today after completing two chapters. (: No big deal you say, but to me it is a rather big deal. hurhur!

Aston's for dinner was nice. I had a special drink to go along with, rootbeer with small amount of chilla sauce. Anyone tried before? For this, I have "sbpos" to thank. :P



Thursday - 5th Feb

We had a meeting on Thursday morning with the Student care officers.. I left with louis to Clementi to get more chocolates for the fondue. On our way to look for the rest at Lot1 after that, Louis' bike got a nail in the tyre. Thankfully we were nearby sheila's place when he realised that his tyre was punctured. We went to grab a quick bite while waiting for them to go back.

Some of us got down to writing messages and all at her place. We started preparing the food at about 4plus 5, and I melted the chocolates. (:

Anyhow, the event's a blast and although some parts didn't go as planned but it's alright. I think and hope everyone enjoyed themselves! They threw nesh into the pool later on cos we celebrated his birthday in advanced for him, and nesh wanted daven to be into the pool too. Daven knew he had no choice so he walked there himself instead of being carried there.

We've estimated wrongly the amount of chocolate needed, thus there's about half a pot of it left. The seniors started playing with the chocolate first on Roy, and at the end of the day, Sheila, Junren, Daven and Rex were all "painted" with chocolate.

As usual, we camwhored and this time, Nesh's friend Andrew helped us take pictures with his SLR. We left the function room at 10plus and some of us headed to 302 for some food. It's a really enjoyable day.

Wang Junren, the 13th batch President made a speech and his last sentence was;
" The correct Pronunciation of SIM O.D.A.C. is Family." (:

Friday - 6th Feb

Today, I was supposed to meet Elena at 12pm to study at Woodlands Library. But I woke up at 11am instead. Anyhow, We went over to study at about 2pm after lunch and studied all the way till 8pm. I'm so proud of myself despite the fact that I took so long just to finish one chapter.

More study sessions please! (:



I was supposed to meet Elena and Pauljean at 11am at YCK today but I woke up at 10.05am. How nice. I dropped them a message and went about preparing and left house at 11plus. Anyhow, I reached YCK and took a cab to her place but Pauljean's not home! She went over to her sister's place. She asked me to ask her maid to let her in but I felt paiseh just in case her parents are home so I waited for her outside standing under the tree. Thankfully her sister's place like a 5-10 minutes drive away kinda thing so she came back fast enough. (:

We took our lunch and started playing cards. The initial idea was to play mj but because there's 5 of us so we played cards instead. It was fun and exciting. It's also like a "last meetup" before Daisy flies over to Aussieland to study. Jia you! We'll see you in June. hehe! =P

We left at about 6pm and I went over to chomp chomp for dinner with the odacians. Dinner was the usual fare and then we hopped over to Ice cube.

We were ordering and santono wanted " Very Berry Strawberry" and some of us cannot get it right at the first try and it was really funny. Subsequently, it became "Fairly Smelly Strawberry"; credits to Mr boon Wee. hahahah!

It's a happy day meeting all the peeps. Odac COC's tmr evening! I hope everything will run smoothly. Anyhow, I'm off to board my flight to lala land.



I was late for POA class today and something embarassing happened. There's an empty seat beside Karen so I made my way there and the girl beside told me that the seat's occupied. But she didn't even put her bag or anything to indicate that the seat is taken. OH WELLS. So i had to make my way to look for another seat. grr.

Anyways I met up with Santono and Yi an for a "quick lunch" at the canteen and we all headed down to sheila yeo's place. Well, by the time we reached there they've already completed what's needed to be done and have already started playing and so we joined in and played all the way till about 8. The intial study plan was long forgotten/ scrapped. =X

We ordered Canadian pizza for dinner cos they had one for one; so we ordered 2 which makes it 4 pizzas. We had leftovers which make up a whole pizza. Next up was bowling session. Her condo has a bowling alley! How cool is that but the bowling balls and the lane is pretty much cannot-make-it. That explains why not alot of people use it and probably, cheap? But it's good when you've got nothing to do and just wanna hit some pins.

Anyhow, it's been a fun day. Everyone who were present today except for Wanshan are from UOL. We all looked as if we've just finished our prelims eh? hurhur.



I think I'm a klutz. This morning I was packing my bag getting ready for school and I can't find my organiser. I was running late, thus I went to school first but I was feeling so upset because of it. I keep trying to recall where I left it and all and was feeling uneasy the whole day. I thought I took it out the other day but forgot to put back into my bag.

I even thought of getting a new organiser and went around searching for a nice one but they are all so expensive. At night, when I got home I saw it lying among a pile of magazine on the floor. =X

Elena told me about this optician located at Chong Pang that sells cheap contact lens. I think i'm going there to get my supply when it runs out. Anyhow, I might have to get my degree checked again because I can't see the board clearly in class anymore. :( Just hope that it doesnt increase drastically; the degree is already very steep. sighs.

Anyhow, on a lighter note, I received my MAC stuff today! AND AND AND, I got my loots from Karen who got them for me in Korea.

• Skinfood Rice Mask wash off at only S$8. It's retailing for $25.50 sgd in Singapore!
• Skinfood Cucumber Soothing Wash Off at only s$8; also retailing at $25.50 in Singapore.
• Etude House BB cream also at only $8.

I'm seriously very excited. It's so much cheaper to buy in Korea. I'm going to make Korea my next dream destination and when i'm there I'm going to really stock them up!

Plus, I got myself Fancl's Mild Cleansing Oil and Toner. All in all, I spent quite a bomb today (excluding MAC). But at least it makes me a bit happier considering the fact that all along I thought that I lost my organiser.

My loots for the day..



(:



Saturday - 31st January 09

I actually managed to wake up to go sentosa. The initial meeting time was 1030 at harbourfront but I woke up at 10 instead. I reached harbourfront at 11.45am and it's not much of a surprise that they're still there. (:

We made our way to sentosa and honestly speaking, it's been ages since i stepped foot on that island, and even more so for the beach. Besides, I've been adviced by the doctor not to go under the sun for prolonged periods since I'm on medication (and that's why I have yet to go for any treks organised by ODAC!) Oh wells. I slapped on sunblock in order not to get sunburnt. Anyway, the possibility of me getting tanned is pretty low cos I'll just turn red and get burnt instead.

Anyhow we played the usual beach games like volleyball, frisbee and soccer. The sun was pretty good, hot then not so hot .. some of us left at about 330 to wash up and when we're done it was drizzling. (: Lucky we went off first else the shower area will be filled with lots of people waiting to wash up.

I lost my new tube of Banana Boat sunblock with SPF50! :( Uh oh. I couldn't find it in my bag. Could have probably left it behind at the mats or something. argh.

I wanted to get MAC's primer but they were out of stock at the Vivo's mac counter. :(
My supply's running out soon so I hope to get it asap. They will arrive only next week! On another note, the MAC cosmetics I ordered online cos they had a sale arrived! I can't wait to collect it from Elena soon. Initially I thought they would arrive before CNY but oh wells. My $80 worth of MAC. (:

I can't wait, I can't wait.

It's FIRST of FEBRUARY already. How fast. 31 days passed just like that? I don't think I've achieved much. Anyway, I have a craving for japanese buffet. I wanna eat salmon sashimi, snow crab etc.. okay, that's very random!
