Good old Mid Autumn..

Life has become so boring since school starts, so much so that i have nothing to write most of time.

Today was slightly more interesting than usual as according to the Lunar calendar its a day for lanterns, candles, mooncake, chinese tea and pameloes(or is it pomelos?). Its my mum's birthday as well so other than those food mention above, chocolate cake was included in the menu as well.

Celebration was at good old Pasir Ris Park, activities for the night is basically sitting around, talking and playing with candles. Especially enjoyable was my futile attempts at helping Nicky set his mini campfire using pathetic rain tree leaves and damp twigs.

Lucky for us the weather was great and the moon was at its brightest. Happy Lantern Festival guys!

Special thanks to my friends..

To Jo, Mich and Jon who left me such sweet and encouraging messages, thank you all so much. Actually i wasn't depressed when i wrote that particular blog, maybe just a little sad and tired thus creating a sad aura. But it is really comforting to know that i have you guys still concerned about me.

Today was rather great! I manage to finish a book, went out with Marker to shop for gift and then went to pick his dad up from the airport. It sounds really boring but we had fun somehow, shopping around ghost town Marina Square and crowded as ever Suntec City, him dragging me into the shops he wants to go and me dragging him out and into another shop which i wanted to be at. The sweet joys of being a couple.

I finally finished the book entitled "Good in Bed". It sounds suggestive, like a sex guide book with an equally suggestive cover but the content is great and inspiring. Its about a big girl, grows up hating her body, finds guy who loves her, starts loving herself, then guy leaves leavin her pregnant, she keeps baby and finally she found some else more devoted to her than the first(typical fairy tale ending).
Really nice and sweet with loads of witty dialogues and hilarously funny description. Out at a bookstore near you...

Confuciously confused..

Stoning in front of my com rite now. Unsure of what to do next, I know i must sleep but then again i wanna be in front of my com, why so, i am not sure too.
Decided to blog before snuggling into my comfy bed.

Yes its still way too early to give my overall review for year 2004 but who the hell cares.

Life is full of contradictions and confusion and i too got confused by the rules of society. When people are nice to you, do they want something in return for their favour or are they born charitable and kind? Things are not always as bad as it seems, though sometimes it is very much worse. This year has been so far so good, things which i never thought would happen to me, happened. Though it wasn't all a bed of roses, I feel really lucky and count my blessings each and everyday.

Work today was at Parkway Parade with a new promoter, Ian. As a newbie promoter, he is so full of enthusiam and drive which i think is exactly what Nokia is looking for and what we older promoter now lacks. Ian is tall, chatty and outgoing and despite his short 5 hrs of work, we manage to talk quite alot and found out quite a few similarities between us.

1. We are both slow eaters, he's like the first guy i know that finishes food after me
2. We both dislike cockles and ended up ordering two bowls of laksa without 'hum'
3. We both eat Famous Amos 'No Nut Chocolate Chip' cookies

I'll end it here.. really really tired...will update it again tomolo for people who bothers and cares about me. Though i'm not sure who would make a stopover at my blog.

Our sentosa trip... 

Sleepy at Sentosa

I went to Sentosa today with Marker dearest.. After my week-long persistent bugging, he finally agreed to go sentosa with me.. Had been wanting to get my tan for very long time now but the saddest thing today was... the weather. It is so sickeningly fluffy and cloudy that instead of getting my tan, we ended up sleeping. Dumb weather which is suitable only for sleeping. After a setting the place we both lied on the mat, did nothing and sleep while the ants made playground of our body, happily climbing up and across our body to the other side of the mat and then back again. So wu liao.. I think if the ants are really playing, they will definitely enjoy more playing on Marker's body due to his furriness because other than just climbing across to get to the other side of his body, they can now hide between the hair on his legs, have a short game of hide and seek, entertain themselves abit before climbing back over. How fun!

Haha.. Sounds corny but what the hell, corny equals prissy, prissy is corny..

Looks like I have to make another trip down to tan again..I didn't even have the chance to take of my top and flaunt my tone bod due to the lousy weather today. Ehh...Did i just say tone bod? Guess my skin just grew thicker during the day due to the coolness of the beach breeze ah.

Look out for updates on pics! Maybe i should take a pic of his leg too, to show you peeps what is furriness.

Falling in love.. with Maths?

Guilt-stricken! Took so much trouble to change the interface for my blog and ended up not blogging. I have been blogging too little these days even though my school schedule is so totally not busy at all. I shall declare that from today onwards i will make an effort to blog at least twice a week.

Today is the start my second week at school. As usual first lesson of the week would be maths, luckily for me the lecturer is freakin funny. While giving lectures he will walk to the back of the hall and stand, only allowing us to hear his voice? Very clever. Another thing about him, he has very reflective glasses and it is simply difficult to even try to make eye contact with him because half the time i was searching for his eyes and the direction he is looking at.

Making friends is slightly more difficult here because unlike poly where tutorial classes were in small groups and aplenty, this school conducts its tuts in a class of 40 and once a week. Till now i am still having problems recognising my coursemates which is quite embarassing because whenever they smile at me around campus, i will either respond with a odd smile or quickly look away. Then when i get back to my lecture hall, i will see them sitting inside. I am a 'dao kia' wannabe in the making!

School day one

Day one overall was great! Not because i made lots of new friends or that i had lots of fun, but because i feel real motivated to study and do well this time round. Though its too early to make such a statement, i believe with support from my parents, my boyfriend Mark and studying kakis like Wanting(my new friend from SIM), Jason and Jon will be able to help me stay motivated?

First lesson of the day was Maths, repeat of what i had done previously in poly. Thank god the lecturer, Mr Syed was interesting and kept the class awake with his once in a while satirical jokes. Though its my first day, i adapted pretty well to the environment coz basically its not much different from poly, except that this school treat its' students well. For every two hours of lesson there is a 15 minutes break and during every break, refreshments are provided for us. Other than refreshments, course notes and textbooks are given to us too! Helped ease the headache of paying $7308 by a teeny weeny bit.


Thank you Daddy...

After paying my fees, a whole stack of books were given to me and they were FREAKING heavy. Thankfully my dad agreed to give me a lift home which seldom happen but today it did. When my dad car finally appeared i was pleasantly surprised. There was a P plate on the the car! He got a P plate for me! When i tried to borrow his car the fia few weeks ago, he rejected me, but tonight... other than getting me a P plate, he too allowed me to chauffeur him all the way back home. I'm simply estatic.. Thanks daddy!

School

Argh.. Suddenly overwhelmed by nervousness. Recieved a call from SIM this morning, telling me there would be an orientation at 5pm. Feeling panicky right this moment, i think i'll take back the words i said on my previous post. Looking forward with excitement? Hell NO! Scared out of my wits seems like the most appropriate feeling to describe me now.

What is happening? The usual gutsy me? GOsh, think i lost it somewhere, someone help me search for it PLEASE!!! Argh~ Memories of how i used to confidently reply "Yah.. go there make friends lor" whenever friends question "You took up the course alone!!". Now i feel like i've just slapped myself in the face. Wished i hadn't been so confident when i said that. That's what you get for believing in yourself too much.

Oh well, time is drawing near for me to get my ass off the chair and make my way down to SIM. Butterflies, can't they just leave my stomach.. Yuks!
Keeping my fingers crossed that i will find something enjoyable there, perhaps an eye candy(?), to kill my lonely torturous 5 hrs of orientation cum seminar cum workshop.

ARgh~~
