mugging in the library is like running on a treadmill. you push urself to the limit cos you relish the pain (or refuse to concede defeat).
mugging at home is like running on the tracks. You feel free to stop anytime for a break. and productivity goes down from then on.
and of course, slacking is like shopping. you never get enough of it.
Missing my loooong brown locks. I’m just not a short, black hair kindda girl. boo. Anyway i tracked back and realised the last time i got a dye job was ard the start of december 2008. That is like, ard 8-9 mths ago?
I feel stupid looking at my readings and not understanding what the lines and pages of words are all abt. Makes me feel retarded and unmotivated.
Shall make a trip to the library to return my books…since it’s so hard to sit down and concentrate anyway.
First week of school makes me feel OLD. But timetable this sem seems to be good, so no complains abt that.
Highly DISORIENTED, STRESSED and MS-y. Gets irritated at the slightest thing/certain ppl and things. Worst combination ever.
Remind me again why i want to put myself through a 5 project sem.
GAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I made rice pudding today ! It’s chilling in the fridge now. Taste ok but there’s a flaw though, cos there is a slight burnt taste. Hope it taste better tml heh. Edit: and it did taste better =)
Time for some concrete mugging/work plan for the mid-term break. The way things look now, i guess i wld be going out for projects everyday. Yes you saw that correctly.
One involves talking to gay men, the other requires us to go down to Harry’s Bar and yet another requires us to do a transcript and analysis of singlish. And yes my video-editing mod, i’m trying hard to not worry abt wad’s gonna come. AND i am doing a marketing paper on Watsons’. The place we all go to have cheap promos and stuff. Actually my projects sound kindda interesting huh ? Hopefully i won’t have too much trouble with them.
Will be heading down to City plaza with the girls on sun, hope we can haul some cheap bargains back. And i seriously need to cut down the amount of time i spend browsing shops and forums online.
But I think i will take a break tonight with my HK drama =) Haven’t done a bit of work since i got home. But hey it’s the start of the term break ! Surely that’s a good enough reason ?
The fact is, we have drifted apart.
I am learning not to let somethings bother me so much anymore. Why make yourself upset when you can choose to feel happy about other things/people in your life ? I have a choice and i choose to be happy 
Anyway the Job Internship Hunt is on ! Attended the resume writing workshop yesterday and it turned out better than i expected. Time to re-work that dusty resume and market myself ha.
Workwise, the worst is over, at least for this week. 3208 website, check. 4880D presentation, check. 4880D think piece, check. 4880D project proposal, check. Upcoming…endless readings and project meetings. And i need to take photos of sch life for 3208 assignment 2. Haven’t thought about how i should go about doing it though.
But for now, I’m looking forward to my well-deserved break for the weekend 
P.S. I am preparing lil vdae gifts for the girls and i know you all will LOVE me for it HAHAHA.
As a “follow up” to nm2208 (which we stayed at the deck from the record-breaking 12pm-2am for), nm3208 just made us stay from 10am-11pm at the cnm consultation room. BUT WE FINISHED IT. feel so accomplished can. From knowing nuts about css to building a website together.
We had no lunch and dinner. Only biscuits, cookies and chips to last us through the 13hrs. So it was just the 4 of us, 4 laptops and some music. Just so happen that we’re nearing the end and F’s laptop started to play “Nobody said it was going to be easy…” hahaha how apt. Especially thinking back to how many hours we had spent on the website this week, almost 3 whole days i think.
There were both funny and stressful moments. And i’m starting to like our project group B drove so i got a ride back whee ! And liyanna was so sweet as to msg us to check if we got home aldry. Aahhh one down at least, a few more for the other mods to go.
We can definitely make it through killer nm3208 together for the rest of the sem 
jiayou jiayou jiayou !
I think only one person saw my post last night. Was up briefly and taken down when i started to feel better. Talked to a friend last night and it kindda helped. Logic always help. Glad for the late night company.
Today’s my free day but spent almost the entire day in sch trying to figure out css and our website. I still don’t like dreamweaver, and i think i never will. The mass of codes can get quite intimidating. AND we’re still not done, not even halfway done. So, will be spending the whole of sat in sch again. yay.
Have pushed off one movie and one dinner gathering to date. So not me i know, but i guess that means work is really getting to me.
Nowadays after reaching home from sch(late) i just tend to procastinate until it’s really late before i start to do my stuff proper. And then before i’m halfway through them i wanna head to bed aldry. Tsk tsk…ok am off to bathe now.
We made pineapple tarts on thurday and they turned out good. Was fun but bit tiring cos we took so long to get them all done. Think we made abt 90+ in total among the 3 of us. Photos to be up next week. Up next, sushi !
Gotten a piece of news to be happy about yest. Our NM2208 storybook project is chosen to be exhibited at the CNM upcoming exhibition at the Old School ! The one we worked on till 2am at the deck haha. I’m proud of us =D
Classes this sem seem to be interesting but rather challenging for some. And i can’t seem to focus fully on the readings as of yet. I call it the first week syndrome. Hmm the MNO Time Journal is starting to make guilt creeps up.
Update as of 11pm:
I did my readings for about half an hour ? =P
Ended up doing a fair bit of spring clearing instead. I think i cut out ard 30 pieces of clothing from my wardrobe. Now, i truly wonder…How on earth did i accumulate so much clothes ?? The last time i did the clearing i took out like 50 pieces. So why does my wardrobe still look full now ? Just the other day i think i threw away 2-3 pairs of shoes. Umm…i’m not exactly a shopaholic right.
And now my cupboards looks so much neater and organised. The table area got a lot more spacious too. Clearing and rearranging my stuff always makes me feel better. Gives a similar therapeutic effect like baking. If only feelings and thoughts can be organised that way…throw away the unwanted ones, and keep the positive.
Lei came over and gave me a really pretty gold necklace just now. Heh was a belated christmas present. So sweet =)
First day of school was nothing short of tiring. and this is an exception becos first week of sch is supposed to be slack as usual. I guess the 10am-9pm schedule is really draining.
So i shall reward myself with a mask. HAHA. all my masks smells soooooo good. The apple one i have on my face smells like zappel. The red wine one smells like grapes. The rose one smells like crabtree and evelyn’s rosewater (i will SO get more of this). But i forgot how the lavender’s one smells like. Ok i have digressed, let’s go back to the topic.
Anyway it has always been a little tradition of mine to dress up a bit (Note: not OVERdress) for the first day of sch. I guess cos it signifies a new start and i want to start it off right. To do that i must first feel good about myself. So i put on my new pair of shoes for that boost of confidence, knowing full well that i WILL REGRET this vain decision a few hours later.
I also learnt today that it really is the shoes that make OR break an outfit. You can be wearing the nicest dress but with flip flops, you look like crap. Anyhow, i’ll still be wearing my comfty flats to sch tml. Along with that, tees, shorts and a makeup-less face. The tradition only takes effect for a day, and that is the FIRST day. Lols.
Super happy to be receiving money for my txtbks today though. And all of a sudden, i feel a lil bit richer. Hmm but i do hope that people didn’t buy any unneccessary stuff from me though. Afterall, it’s the buyer’s responsibility to check before purchasing, no ?
AND guess what. I actually forgot to keep the money i received at one point in time, and the buyer had to call me back. What a silly muddlehead i am. But luckily, there still exist nice and honest people ard.
I think the one month plus nua break has made me forgotten how fast-paced school life can get.
Adjust, ting, adjust.
