this evening i was in a highly irritatable mood... thus venting my anger and irritation on my parents... i even "chased" them out... as in, they were already on their way out of e house to visit my new baby cousin son... so tat's my nephew rite?
when they came back, my dad nicely asked me if i want Honey Drink...
awww... to think i was so rude to him just before he left the house...
that's how much my dad loves me... parently aka fatherly love is true love.... when one dun bear grudges and love unconditionally... almost immediately...
can other r/s be like tat too?

and so, today's answer booklet was green in colour... wahaha... my GEM "living with mathematics" paper... woohoo! numbers... actually there are words and logic and codings and figs too... i like! haha... e paper made me feel good... haha... although the chair was too low and the table was too high... or maybe i'm just too short... wahaha...
after paper, met Robbie watch Harry Potter 4... he dl-ed it... *privacy and copywrite* and to think we take New Media module and learn about it... wahaha...
according to him, its very non coherent... missing out a lot of interesting parts... but wat can we expect? from a so thick book to just 2.5hr of movie time... well, but glad, there's him around to explain wats going on and some of the missing portions and some parts linking to e other books... haha... cos when i watched e other previous harry potter 1 and 2, i had no idea wat was going on... haha... and i think harry and his good friend, as they grow older... they are looking... eeeee.... e girl prettier though... haha...

got an sms, my mood indexed dropped rock bottom... tat was just before service started... but at e end of service, another sms came, mood indexed shot up again... haha... it flustrate lots i know... haha...
mingled ard with mit, vivien, jialing and hsien... i was asked to be a mentor in e coming youth leaders' retreat camp, mainly for e sec 3/4, j1... hmmm am i up to it? i know i got to take this very first step... its inertia... 1st steps are often e most difficult... so off i left...

e past 3 days been rather interesting... spend many many hours with jen and weiqi...
today... its seems like a mini 'party' in pgp... woke up with 3 missed calls, 3 sms-ed from 3 different sources... but still laze on e bed, until jen 2nd sms came staying tat she'll waiting for me... so, ok! get up time! haha... down i went... soon robbie came... after lunch, there was some tension, tat really affected me... i could hardly concentrate, thus wasting a few precious hours... ard late afternoon, i was still feeling 'lan' when mitchell called asking how to get to pgp... of course i could already guessed her intension... but must pretend and act blur... to be sponstanous... haha... abt less than an hour later... "SURPRISE!" she'll here at nus pgp... now, wat a ntu student doing in pgp will a freshly bakes walnut cake? hehe... but of course, is to visit me and cheer me on... so sweet of her... e thot, e effort... i really appreciate it so much... God been so great to provide me with such good friends... soon after, guo an came too... mini party i had to share my cake... seems like my birthday cake or sth... haha... oh ya, mit introduced me to her friend Regine... so there u go, representation of the 3 uni biz student at nus pgp... haha... Jen: NUS Biz, Mit: NTU Biz, Regine: SMU Biz... all 3 worked at citibank together too... i feel so outcast... =(
confidence level dropped! (dun worry, nth to do with academic)

yea! today is a good day... started off well, ended off great... wat happens in between doesnt matter, so insignificant... haha
had a good slp till noon today... woke up, apart from the 'troublesome' thing tat happened... arh!!!! i'm glad it was there to happen, so tat dad would came home to pick me up for lunch... wahaha... had Spainish Lunch at Clake Quey... we had a long time finding e place, even with e help of the street directory... e food was yummy yum yum yummy... its a must try! haha... e atmosphere just reminded me of Zorro... Zorro from spain mah... haha... we had a glass of Spainish traditional red wine mixed with fruit juice and other alchol... i drank quite a bit...
then headed to sch... which took some time for me to get over the slight after effect of e drink... wahaha... oh well, e part of studying not important...
i just ended the day well... a happy girl i am... dunno how much more to describe in words... tat's how a simple phone call can change my mood upside down, of course for e better... *big big smile*

i have no idea how many litres of water i have consumered in the last 6 hours... ok, i'm exaggerating... wahaha... 1st started with plain water, then Ribena, then plain water again, then cranberry juice, then dinner soup and vitamin C orange juice... now one big cup of freshly boiled barley, still laying on the table... 1/3 drank only... haha... yea! i have the feeling of "i'm falling sick" and i know i cant afford to fall ill at this time of e sem... so better be kiasu... i think e amt of water i'm consuming today is enough to make up for the lack of water i been consumering e past few days... i have a bad habit of not drinking enough water... hehe... and moreover, pple ard me are sick... e 2 pple i hang out with e most are sick! or rather in the process of recovery with medicination... but surbon me dun like eating medicine... good thing havent reach that stage of sick yet... wahaha...
ok, that is a whole long crap from me... wahahah... must start training to write... for exams... but wait... i shld get use to write with pen and paper now... its been so long since i last done that... researched paper, reports, tutorial all done thr typing on the computer... there is a great different... if only we can type during exams... how great that will be... haha... to think that we are moving towards a "paperless" society, as mentioned in one of my many New Media readings on 'ICT in organisations', exams are still hand written... on paper... haha...
and one thing i observe from my new media module... after reading the articles, its quite obvious that e facts used in the lecturers powerpoint slides are from the article... according to my "copyright" lecture, even using the idea of another person has to be cited and acknowledged... not to say, e ppt slides in lect, e ideas are almost copy and paste... word for word... ok, not e whole article, but a few of e ideas... she doesnt even bother to put it in her own word... isnt that plagarism... and to think that nus emphasize so much on plagarism, e lecturers are not going by it... hmmm weird... haha...
a few entries back, i tokked abt something like how to identify if an undergraduate is from NUS or NTU... i got another observation... esp not when it is the exams period... for an NTU student, u often heard them saying "i'm going to tabao this module"... what they mean by tabao is to fail the module and so have to retake e next sem... for a NUS student, u often heard pple mentioning about CAP scores.. abt how CAP is going to decrease because of this and that module... how they not going to be able to make it for Honours year etc... haha... it caugt me thinking, y is it that ntu students are more concern whether or not they pass of fail their exams... are they tat 'dumb', or paper too hard, or its just a norm to fail, or all they ask for is to pass a module... whereas in nus, pple are so concern about how well they do, whether they can get an A... and not to mention, not a simple A, but A+ or A-... hehe...
few days back, tokking to one of my senior... he was asking me how i'm coping in uni... he told me tat he struggling with his CAP... for honours... so i thinking, maybe his CAP now is borderline 4... i asked for his CAP, he told me 4.45... i was like penged! like that also must stuggle, so good liao... apparentlly, he aiming for 1st class honour... wow! what can i say... he chem major, to be able to come this far is a great achievement liao.. considering sci fac is flooded with PRC and foreign scholars... and he is just a true blue typical singaporean boy... wahaha...
and i'm so proud of myself... i learnt how to spell the word bolster... it goes B-O-L-S-T-E-R!

e crazy me wanted to try something new... to wake up at 5.30am and do work... when e air is super fresh and when almost e whole pgp is still aslp... at pgp, late at night, hardly anyone is aslp... try looking out of e window u see many lighted rooms at 2plus 3plus maybe even 4plus... so i figured 5plus will be e time most will be aslp... haha... got prof to give me a morning call at 5.30... i picked up his call... dun even remeber what i tokked to him about, if i even did... haha... then went back to slp... woke up only at 10am... shhh!!! dun tell him... haha...
did a bit of work, then hungry... there is campbell soup and doubt i can finish e whole can alone... so jio-ed jen to join me for lunch... just nice, when i asked her, she just came back from supermaket with a hug loft of bread... she was just wondering how she going to finish all e bread alone... haha... so we had lunch... perfect! an attempt to cook mushroom campbell soup in her kitchen... had fun fun... then she had to leave for lessons... so off back to e room i went... do econs... before i knew it, she called again... dinner time! haha... spent e time tokking... heart to heart tok... well come to think abt it, there is no such thing as following ur heart... ur heart is only an organ in ur body to pump blood to e rest of ur body... full stop... what pple normally refer to 'following the heart' is actually a product of part of e brain too... haha... so we had a mind to mind tok... wahahah...
now that reading/study week has started, i really miss my study partner so very much... i had him ard for Os, for j1 promos, for j2 prelims, for As, for all my little little tests... but now, when i'm still awake doing my work late at night, his long light-off liao...

i'm so happy... e team that i support in the 'Subaru Challenge' at ngee ann city organised by mediocorp radio won the competition... sad as well, as i havent been able to go down to support them... i was there e past 2 years... =(
just had a good chat with jen, over dinner... met her to study at a place really close to nature in pgp... i almost didnt want to leave and stop doing my work... cos e atmosphere was perfect and i was able to concentrate well enough... but we had to leave, cos it started to rain... moreover shld we stay any longer, e place going to turn dark... well studying, we saw many pple ard too... leaving in pgp is like leaving in the little world... where u meet all sort of pple... from all ard e world... with their own culture, values, version of fun, version of life... how interesting it will be if i can be part of e different cultures and nations once in a while... a great eye opener... i bet it going to be fun with many experience... yup, so e chat with jen was very enriching... its amazing how i realise God put me thr so many things to experience and learn... i feel so blessed... how i grew thr these years... and many more years to come... not so much of physically, but mentally and emotionally... how i am able to be a blessing to e pple ard me... how i am able to be who i am... how i am able to make a difference for God and with God...
today, been one of e many days i learn many lessons of life... thr e simple things tat happened... how a person company means to other, even when u didnt realised it... how an sms will be able to show other u appreciate them... how just being satisfied with wat u have, e grade u get... how being able to sit down and tok.. sharing one's life story and inner thoughts... giving advises... giving though.. laughing out stuff... reflecting and slowly realising that life is good...
yup... now, wat was i even tokking abt... just some random thoughts of mine... not coherent, i know... haha... =)

today 1st sun... and so youth choir sang... song title "Prayer of St Francis"... e arrangement of the music is really special and sweet... e lyrics of the song only really hit me during 11am service when pas jon was praying... this prayer really so close to my heart...
worship today was different... as in not e songs or e way e worship leader lead or anything else, but myself!!! my own emotions and thoughts... i reflected a lot then... if no one was ard, i would have cried... just at tat moment, mit reached up her hands over my shoulder and asked if i'm ok... wow! i really thank God for her... =)
wanted to go ngee ann city see the subaru challange... or even go to ncc... but i was just feeling so tired and no mood... just headed home... slp! =)
did some readings on "copywrite"... accessed this website:
http://www.whatiscopyright.org/wow! its all about the copywrite law... its so scarey... as in, we can almost be sued for e many things tat we are not even aware tat we committed... i'm not going to tok too much of wat e website says... cos part of e copywrite law is tat, even if we try to rephrase and describe a certain content (in this case, abt wats abt copywrite from the website) and if dun cite properly... ask for "permission"... it is infrigement of the copywrite law... pengz... anyway this copywrite law topic is my most favourite topic from e module... somehow or another... dunno y also... maybe i hve some passion for law too... shld i try a law module... hmmm...
head hunting for committee heads is so difficult...
and apprentice is so so so cool... i'm so going to miss the show when its over, after next week... e thrill i get from watching... =)

i'm understanding it more... i wont know unless u tell me right? and u did... at least i see a bigger picture... able to put most of e little pieces together... its starting to make more sense now... at least now i know how to response and react more sensitively and appropriately... tat's how important communication is... it can make a lot of difference... misunderstanding, sadness and worryness can be reduced... everything can be so much better and pleasant... for both parties... agree? yea! faith agrees... =)
