thx to the nice caucasian lady...

Just another dull boring school day, wif the rain keeping the haze in check it wasn't tt bad. Another 2hr MLE lecture in the morn which left me wondering what I've learnt from tt 2hrs. Most of the time I was more like trying to understand the lecturer than what I'm supposed to learn.

After an early lunch(which I have everyday), decided to attempt maths tutorial 9 which was disastrous. I really "read dead books" eh, can never do well in application questions, kinda sad really. My poor grade for critique is really affecting me esp my morale but hope I'll get over it soon eh, ha.

On my way home, I decided to get some stuff at Clementi NTUC and ended up with just a packet of orange juice. At the queue, I was wondering why that caucasian lady seemed to stare at my packet of orange juice in my hand for a split moment, but acted as though I didn't notice, lol. When she reached the cashier, she surprised me by gesturing for me to pay first. Very nice of her really, she had a basketful of stuff and since I only had 1 item, she allowed me to go first. First time I ever experienced this wor, there were countless times I only had 1 item and had to wait in queue while this person in front had lotsa items.

That really made my day eh, wasn't expecting it and what a pleasure it is to be on the receiving end of kindness. I'm sure she felt good as well when I thanked her. Singapore was rather ranked pathetically in a recent Readers' Digest survey on courtesy eh. Maybe everyone should do their own part in correcting that. A little gesture goes a long way...

wat the hell...



Nowadays, if you wake up when the sun is already up, look out of the window and you might think you're at Genting Highlands on a holiday. And then when you leave your house, instead of the cool, refreshing, damp breeze, you feel prickly eyes and a constantly dry mouth and irritated throat, thanks to the Indonesian farmers =.=



Over the weekend, the EPL has witnessed another disgusting, terrible incident.


Jus a few weeks back, Thatcher's elbowing of Pedro Mendes from Portsmouth shocked everyone beyond words when Mendes collapsed to the ground, his body in fits when the physios were attending to him. Over the weekend, in Chelsea's game against Reading, Peter Cech dived towards Stephen Hunt to get the ball within the penalty box near the byline and he got jabbed in the cheek by Hunt's knee (which in my opinion was on purpose), and he sort of remained motionless on the ground. I thought it was just a concussion, which was already terrible enough, only to find out now that he had a fractured skull and underwent a neuro-op asap aft his injury. He'll be out for 6mths.

What's wrong with players these days? All playing without professionalism, a few of them, daring enough to purposely cause injury on opponents. It's sad to see the game deteriorating to such a stage...

stay-home sunday

Heh, there goes another stay-home Sunday. Had to wake up earlier than planned cos we were expecting potential buyers for the house to drop us a morning visit around 10am. Not bad, an Indian family who seemed very interested since they visited us again for a 2nd look within an hour, enquiring me about the bus services available here, since I'm the expert here, my dad drives and noes nuts about it, haha. The family, the wife in particular, seemed pretty pleased when I told her the bus stop within walking dist from my block has buses to Jurong East. (Hmm, so zhun the moment I'm blogging about this, Dad returns home telling us the deal is more or less sealed...)

Well, mixed feelings about this really, but I guess it has to be done. Now that my grandparents have already passed on, this house is kinda over-sized for the 4 of us. The household chores are also a headache. This is the first time I've stayed at a house for near 10yrs and everything starting to fall apart is kinda new to me, keke. Our new house at Lake Holmz has a smaller floor space so tt shud alleviate our household chores a little, haha.

After so many years, CSS finally moves to within walking dist from my house and I'm moving away again. Living near Clarabelle has had it's perks, always having company on the way home aft our sec4 class gatherings, haha. The reservoir, my fav prawn mee stall which moved to the kopitiam jus downstairs from 2 blocks away last time, finally getting a room of my own here which I painted myself jus a few mths back. I really hate major changes cos I'm a slow person, take kinda long to settle down in a new situation.

Hai, still kinda lost about how to study eh, army eroded all my studying experience and studying in uni is really different from how I used to do so, and I haven't got the hang of it. Average midterm scores for all my modules so far, kinda disappointed for Genes and Soc cos I kinda expected to do well. *sigh*

Newcastle take on Bolton tonight, of course I hope Newcastle wins, Martins scoring lotsa goals the better, but wif Newcastle's current form and style of play, can't even name 5 teams in the EPL they can DEFINITELY beat. This unpredictability makes supporting Newcastle exciting but it also makes you wonder when silverware will ever come, esp with a chairman who's dirt rich but seem to always get the wrong manager. Together with overpaid, underperforming players, the club is a total waste of money for the chairman eh. Oh well, see how ba, can't wait to watch football tonight, whaha.

so early the worms haven't come out...

Another wk has begun and things were sort of ok til I reach Clementi interchange where I transit to take 96 to school. There was no long queue, the bus was half-packed when it left the interchange unlike usually when 2 buses have to come at the same time to cater to the number of people in the queue. I reached sch at around 7.35am, 25 minutes earlier than the lecture at 8am (or so I thought).

At 7.50am, there was still not a single soul (as in the people I'm having lecture wif) outside LT7A and luckily saw Hong Da whom I asked if there was lecture today. Stupid question to ask eh, the lect is at 9am =.= Yup, I am 1hr early in school and thus decided to take this chance to take stock of all that has happened and sort of plan slightly ahead?

The midterm tests were sort of manageable, maths was a killer with all the application questions. Over the wkend I sort of over-enjoyed, played too much Pangya sia, needed to renew my energy for another wave of mugging. So sorry to Yihua, I totally forgot abt the meeting at JP to discuss abt prom =x. Remembered there's a meeting but forgot when, only saw the sms again in my inbox now, zzz.

Hmm, love life is still at a stand-still, not much luck wif the opposite sex, lol. Maybe I shud jus forget abt it le, everyone seems so busy (like I'm so free, hahaha). The tech mob on Saturday gave me a chance to drive by myself all the way to the east even encountering heavy traffic on the CTE for the first time in my driving stint.

There's still this lost feeling in me, slowly settling down but uni life is still kinda messy for me. Working in a grp should be a normal thing but not when grp members have different "school of thoughts", lol. I'm the kind who likes to finish homewk or projects ahead of schedule so that it doesn't bug me later on and I have to rush to meet the dateline then but my other grp member is the usual, normal last minute person. Planning for revisions is the biggest headache even though I have soooo much free time. Still pondering if not involving myself actively in a CCA is healthy, zzz. PSI levels got to an all-time high recently which has further encouraged me not to exercise, lol. Lazy but it needs to be done, heh. I'll be moving house probably nxt year into condo so hopefully the readily available swimming pool or maybe gym will encourage me to keep fit, hahaha.

Yup, I guess that's all for now, signing off.

maths midterm *puke*

12 mcqs, 1 hour limit. What more can I say?

Haven't went under "exam" stress for 2+yrs! The midterm for Living with Chem din really count since it wasn't tt scary (done in the lect theatre). This one was done in the freezing MPSH in shorts and slippers *regret* (LOL).

It started off pretty bad but ended up fine as I did 8 out of 12 questions. It was funny on the way out hearing everyone cursing and swearing about the same thing. "Eh can you do that girl question huh?" Lol, I couldn't too.

Will tally my answers wif another fren soon to see what are the chances of me passing it, lol. Next up, MLE test on Thurs evening and then Genes and Soc on Saturday evening. (yup, SATURDAY EVENING, WTH...)
