finally a chance to blog.. wheeee!!! had a horrible week, think the only good that came out of it was rest and lots of tv. haha. what happened you ask? well, add too much kfc, rain and a beginning of flu to get full blown stomach flu!! yup, was home bound for 2 days coz of puking, high fever and wooziness.. missed hell lot of tutorials and lectures.. sigh, fever, nausea and wooziness plus 2 days off is the normal procedure when i get flu. always. i have no idea why, but when i fall sick, it's gonna be quite a while before i get well.. oh well.. it has always been like that.
had a sounds test on friday.. sucked big time. sometimes i wonder, why am i taking eng lang insted of eng lit? i've always liked literature and scored fairly well in it.. why did i choose eng lang in the end? thinking about it has only led me to one answer. due to job prospects. with eng lit, there's nothing much for me to do 'cept for teaching. eng lang on the other hand, can allow me to go into more areas. what the hell. deciding my major based on job prospects, not on what i really like deep down. what am i doing!??! but oh well, i've chosen this course, shall try to do well in it.
i think i'm not smart. plus the fact that i'm quite lazy, it's not the best combination for success. hah. talk about stating the obvious. it's just that lately, i've been feeling demoralised when i look at my work as compared to others. why cant i do as well? maybe its the fact that i never really put much effort into my work that's causing this.. sigh.. i try, i really do. take the german test that day for example. i did study. i really did. but nothing managed to go in. at all. i managed to pass that test alright, but only 69%. that's lousy when others are getting 98% and what not. hah. i didn't really want to take german in the first place. but well, i'm taking it now and there's no turning back. hope i can do better in the next test and make up for the absymal result this time.
okay... next week's the term break, or for 4 days anyway. sounds nice, good for rest but the teachers are really something. holiday homework (sounds so kiddish) given out, and after the break, bring on the tests!! man, i hate breaks now. they just mean to give you time to study for major tests the week after the break. it all equals out to... no break. fantastic.
oh yesh, i set up another blog on blogspot to test it out. go check it out and tell me whether i should move it there, or leave my blog here as it is.. comments are most welcome!!

okie dokes, that's about it.. i'll log off now. ta!

just a song that i particularly like.. *grinz* have no idea why i like it, but it just sounds nice and appeals to me.. =P
No More Sad Songs by Clay Aiken
This is the way, That i state my independence, That i'm no longer connected to your memory. This is the day that i'm making
my defection, gotta claim back the affection that you stole from me. I used to hear your music so loud But its so low.
You're just another face in the crowd, I'm letting you know.
[Chorus:]
No more sad songs, I'm letting it go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know, you turned out the light. I'm
gonna be alright without... Turn the radio off. No more sad songs.
These are the words to descibe all your offences. You said love and love past tense and then you let it go. Haven't you
heard, Your are no longer respected, you are formally regected from the one you hurt. I used to have the longing to hear
what was in your heart, But now it seems i'm over the fear of this falling apart.
[Chorus]
No more sad songs. I used to have the longing to hear what was in your heart, but now it seems i'm over the fear of this
falling apart.
No more sad songs, I'm letting it go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know. No more sad songs, I'm letting it
go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know. you turned out the light. I'm gonna be alright without... Turn the
radio off. No more sad songs. No more sad songs.
No more sad song, No more sad songs.
--------------------------
went to the comex show on friday with xue-er, willie and zheng xin... hehe finally bought the digicam and voice recorder!! lalalala.. grandpa paid for all so yeah!! there were so many people around, felt a little claustraphobic with everyone pushing around.. did not know that an electronics fair can attract so many people... hehe..
now all i need to complete my shopping list is a handphone.. but what phone? sigh, i wanted to get the panasonic x70, but have seemed to grow out of it.. then felt that the sony ericsson k700i is nice and attractive but its a little bulky, not to mention a little expensive as well.. or should i get the samsung e600c which is a flip phone (which i want).. but its not really user friendly (or so i heard).. or should i wait and get the nokia 7610? coz nokia's easy to use and everything...
hahaha, i sound so much like an airhead i cant stand myself now.. sigh... difficult to make up my mind.. someone help me!!! argh.. i hate this..
work seems to be piling up so quickly i dont seem to have time to breathe.. especially german.. lots of work to do, lots of stuff to remember but i cant seem to be able to do it well.. its going to be a tough sem i think..
stuff due:
german
- 30 words to add to the vocab list (due 1st sept)
- introduction of self in german (due 1st sept)
- to study for the german test in week 5 (fri 10th sept)
english
- quiz for el2102 (fri 3rd sept)
- discussion paper for el2151 on durian king... *rolls eyes*
american lit
- essay assignment 1 (due 4th sept 10am)
marketing
- tutorial and group project
- test on week 5 *argh!!*
long list of work to do, but no motivation to... how????? die liao lah...
--------------------------
went to the gym on wed with xue-er.. it was pouring that day and i didn't feel like exercising at all.. the most important thought of the day was SLEEP.. hahaha.. but i'm glad i did go to the gym and exercised, coz if i did not on wed, i would have never started.. so yeah, thank you
xue-er for dragging me there!!! (although i could do without all the aches that started the next day and lasted for about 2 days..) *grinz* cant wait for the next session, though i kinda dread the jogging part... heheh.. hopefully this will be the start of a regular exercise thingy for me, i dont want to be flabby any longer! must be determined..
--------------------------
met up with regina and emily on thursday.. had dinner at yoshinoya and walked around after that.. saw a skirt at heeren that i felt like buying, but didn't in the end.. haha.. havent worn a skirt in a long time.. no nice legs to show off mah.. been living in jeans and t-shirts for school.. cant imagine myself dressing up.. that will be the day man...
regina left for beijing yesterday, and emily and i went to the airport to send her off, at 6 in the morning!! woke up at 430am yesterday, left the house at 5 and reached the airport at about 530.. good to see regina before she left... a lil sad, but she'll be back during new year! *yeah*
had burger king breakfast with emily then left for dear's house.. slept the whole journey *hiaks*
bought breakfast for dear dear and proceeded to sleep all the way till 3pm.. hahah.. watched tv (legend of the heavenly sword and dragon sabre).. a perfect end to the day..
hehe das ist alles (meaning that is all).

not again.. i'm sick and tired of falling sick, esp after i've taken some stupid flu vaccination some time before.. that painful jab hasn't given me any sort of vaccination at all!! argh.. so now i'm down with a very sore throat, fever and an aching body.. all i can say is thank goodness it's not as bad as the previous bout of flu i'd suffered from (that left me bedridden for 3 days straight.. *shudders at the memory*) well.. been taking medication.. panadol cold relief, and some chinese herbal tea my grandma made.. ewww.. that herbal tea was gross!! almost puked after tt..
have discovered quite a good show on ch8.. the heavenly sword and the dragon sabre.. playing on ch8 on sat & sun from 7 to 9 i think.. quite a good cast and engaging plot.. oh yah, florence tan is also acting in it! (if i didn't remember wrongly, so is phyllis quek) well.. got hooked to the show.. lol.
was supposed to meet up with diana and the rest on tuesday, but oh horrors! i forgot all about it until diana called me about 5 to ask me where i was.. and i was home!! *smacks self* think i pissed them off for always missing appointments with them.. haha.. but honestly, it totally slipped my mind, and i couldn't go to bugis even then coz i had tuition tt night (tuition was supposed to be on mondays but coz of a 7th lunar month dinner on mon, the tuition was postponed to tues.. thus resulting in the missed appointment with diana and the rest) sigh... it always happens.. have no idea why though.. not meant to meet up i guess.. haha.. what a thought..
going to meet up with regina and emily on thursday.. must not forget it this time!! *determined look* thursday 630.. have set a calendar alarm to remind me too! haha.. okay i'm quite forgetful..
i think i'm totally hooked on to draco/hermione fan fics.. haha, previously meteor garden fan fics, now harry potter... what is the world coming to??? but the writers are very talented storytellers with vivid imaginations i must say.. they're very entertaining reads.. it's funny how i keep focusing on the draco/hermione romance thingy.. it's like a totally opposites attract scenario!! but well.. must admit that they would make quite a good pair.. =P
tutorials start next week.. *groan* have 4 tutorials in a day, and it's consecutive!! 4 hours.. sigh.. how am i going to survive them? i foresee terrible wednesdays and lack of sleep for this sem, to complete all 4 tutorials on wednesday for tutorials on thursday.. what have i done.. dug a grave for myself i think... sigh.. i think i have to be extra hard working this sem... as if! hah.. as unbelievable as tt sounds (even to myself), i shall try..
have set myself another goal (of sorts).. and that's to start exercising regularly!! going to jog/gym with xuer-er on wednesday.. i cant stand the flabby me any more!! argh.. been feeling quite sluggish lately, and maybe exercise will prevent me from falling sick so easily.. i hope.. but the thought of running round and round aimlessly on the track is kinda off-putting.. maybe the gym will help.. haha..
okie dokes, have to go sleep le.. to make sure i'll be better and not still sick.. drink more water people.. and take care..
ciao!
p/s: another pic of my fav guy.. ;P *swoons* he's so cool!!

song of the day/week/whatever - britney's not a girl, not yet a woman
time seems to have passed so quickly.. last time i blogged, i had just stopped work. now, it's almost the end of the first week of school.. time flies.. i wish i have a net to catch it and keep it.. not that school's bad.. i just wish for more time to slack.. muahaha..
anyway, i've finished watching wo de mi mi hua yuan 2.. and yeah!! the lead guy didn't die!! muahahahaha!!! was so happy to know that.. lalala... spoiler i know, but i cant help it.. delirious when i knew.. coz i was so upset (see last entry) when part 1 ended and it looked as if he died... hehe.. finished watching the vcds in like 3 days.. 31 discs... crazy i know, but as i've already mentioned.. i cant help it. *grinz*
**********
now for a summary of what i've been up to for the past week (acutally it's more for me than for you guys.. just so i dont forget what i did, coz i have STM*)
* STM = Short Term Memory
020804 Mon
bought wo de mi mi hua yuan 2.. started watching.. did nothing else.. *grinz*
030804 Tues
went to dear's house.. continued watching my precious vcd..

090804 Mon
visited my aunt who just got discharged.. slept the day away at boon lay and watched the national day parade.. love the parade.. especially the marching contingents.. they all looked so smart and the marching was great (as usual) will miss PM Goh..
100804 Tues
schools starts
**********
tt's about it.. taking german this sem.. but i have no idea what propelled me in that direction.. haha.. well.. let's see how it goes. if you see me complaining about it or cursing about german, do not ever ask me "how's german" or you'll get an extended version of my complains, and i'm sure you wouldn't want that.. *evil grin*
been listening to ocean ou de yang's songs.. and i really like the song "wu wei xiong".. cute song, but it sounds a tad too much like ah niu's style.. but it's nice.. i like it.. hehe.. the song "this love" by Maroon5 and "superstar" by Jamelia are also stuck in my head... what's up with tt? catchy songs..
as you may have noticed by now, i blog about really random events.. basically i type out anything that comes to my mind, so don't complain about the way i blog. i'll try not to do that, but no guarantees.. ha.
thank my lucky stars i'm having a relatively light timetable this sem.. kinda regret dropping american law but i can take it next sem i guess. monday's a free day for me! yay!! haha.. am taking this module called african american literature, and i think it's very interesting.. lots of background work to do, but i think it'll be worth it! come to think of it, i've been teadily taking lit modules every sem, it's like i cant stay away from it.. hehe.. maybe.. but i don't do tt well grades-wise for lit modules.. sigh.. it's just a passion and interest i think..
okay.. i'm gonna go play runescape coz i'm going crazy blogging.. till next time!

sob!!! i've just finished watching this taiwan drama "wo de mi mi hua yuan" and now i'm so depressed!!! the main lead died!! argh!!!! this is so like the typical korean drama, where one of the main lead dies... sigh... actually i watched a little bit of this drama when i was in china in june, and the show just got stuck in my head, coudln't get the story out of my head and spent so much time searching for the vcd.. finally bought it after so long (2 months).. and we (my siblings and i) actually finished watching it in 3 days!! but sigh.. the male lead dies in the end... leaving the girl alone.. and guess what, all the 3 main female leads remain single at the end of the drama... depressing right???? horrible show.. but the beginning was so nice and funny!! then it got increasingly depressing.. ARGH!!!!!!! why???? why must tt "huang yao hui" die in the end? why cant dramas have happy endings anymore?? in the channel 8 7 o'clock serial.. edmund chen's character dies as well.. leaving behind his wife... what is the world coming to?? i know there is increase in divorces and everything.. but why the endless shows about breakups and deaths to part lovers???? why?? sorry i'm ranting and going on and on about this.. but this show really made me very sad...
dunno why, but i've been watching and reading many shows and comics that end in tragedy.. depressing and upsetting... i always thought such dramas and comics only had happily ever after endings, but i was so wrong... the recently ended ba wang ai ren also ended with the main cute lead dying.. although the couple were deeply in love and almost to be married.. sigh... dunno what's up in people's minds nowadays...
now the question is.. should i buy wo de mi mi hua yuan 2? haha.. or shall i just end this sickening drama which had me reaching for tissue for the last few episodes.. argh!!!!! upset upset upset.. cant help but cried when the show ended.... why??? sigh... this is a depressing day... although i should be celebrating coz i dont have to go to work anymore and can slack at home... the drama is haunting me!!!! shucks!! i know this is just a drama but what the ****? cant they just give viewers a happily ever after ending? darn... i cant stop thinking about the show.. get a grip lazymi..
i think i have to take a shower to clear my depressed mood.. but i must say.. the drama is nice... wo de mi mi hua yuan... go watch.. and tell me how you felt after the last episode... though i've pretty much spoilt it by exposing the end in this entry... sigh...
*sobz*
think i'll look like a goldfish tomorrow with swollen eyes from crying..
always treasure the ones you love.. else it be too late when they're gone..
taz..

Sunday School
Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?''
When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.
A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep.
Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!''
