too free and too bored.

My exams have officially ended!! Erm well, they were ok. Intense, but at least they were over quickly haha.

And now I'm terribly bored. Sigh.

It's ironic how I always managed to find something to occupy myself with when I was supposed to be studying, but now I don't really have anything to do. By the way, time passes really quickly when you're slacking instead of studying haha. I can't believe it's only 1 day since my semester officially ended.

Actually I have stuff to do also. Like cut my hair, pluck my eyebrows, and especially the pressing need to clear my crap out of my room. I can't decided whether to keep my notes, or throw them away. I still have stuff from Year 1, by the way hahh.

I've been catching up on all my long-lost shows also, like House and Grey's Anatomy hoho. I should find new things to watch. Oh yeah, I watched like an episode of that Peranakan show on Ch 8 also, and woah it's super scary la! All that backstabbing and manipulation. Can you imagine living in a house like that?? I'd rather get married off and lead a safer life haha. But my grandma told me that's what life was like in the past :S Traumatising.

By the way, I really like Peranakan food :D Especially the kuehs haha. Too bad they all have complicated names that I can't remember. Oh yeah I remember that time when we were in Malacca for the weekend. Shiok lor. My dad stopped the car like every few hours so we could go down to eat haha. I think I ate like 4-5 times in a day, for 3 days.

On a small note, for some reason it doesn't feel like Christmas this year.

There are things that drift away
Like our endless, numbered days

la-di-da

This is bad. I keep getting distracted, as evident by the recent increase in my blogging frequency haha.

Psych sucks. Why can't they keep all the chapters equally long? The later chapters are like twice the length of the chapters in front! That's like 50 pages per chapter. ARgh. I like to keep track of the length of chapters, so I'd know how much I have to study, and motivate myself accordingly.

I concentrate better at home. Except that I can't study at home cuz of the FREAKING CONSTRUCTION next door! So I go to Starbucks and get fat on coffee. Or I go to KFC and get fat on cheese fries and Coke. Either way, I get fat.

Further proof that studying/school is bad for you:

You go from being all serious and focussed...
... to a bunch of siao zha bors in blazers.

That's my Services Marketing group by the way haha.

I feel so random and 'la-di-da'.

Here's what I've planned for December (so far):

1. Prepare to move into another room. So I have to clean out all my crap, plan the layout for my new room, get a new wardrobe, etc. Tons of stuff to do.

2. Church camp!

3. Meet up with all the people in my life, especially those who are coming back from overseas :D Like Janice and Joseph, whom I haven't seen for more than a year now.

4. WWF Great Escape! Woohoo!

5. Shop. I'm waiting for all the sales to descend upon Singapore haha.

6. In short, take a break to rearrange my thoughts, and forget about all the shit that happened this year. And start anew next year.

You were right about the end

It didn't make a difference

Everything I can remember

I remember wrong

I've finally cleared all my projects/presentations/reports!! No more staying in school till sunset! No more going back on Saturdays! No more rehearsals at 8am! YAY.

But sigh, I still have exams to study for. Even though technically 2 of them are for S/U-able modules, I still can't exactly slack. I need to at least get a decent grade for E-commerce (which, in my opinion, is one big waste of time), cuz my mid-term result was totally mediocre, and I need to be sure I can at least pass before I can S/U. And I really hope to do well for Psych, and APB (which is a core module). Except that I don't know how to study for APB cuz 1) I don't go for lectures, 2) there isn't a textbook (or rather, the lecturer doesn't teach from there, so I didn't buy one), 3) I don't learn anything from lectures or tutorials, which explains why I don't go for them. It goes the same for E-commerce and Psych, except that I have textbooks, and I attend more Psych lectures than E-commerce and APB combined. Haha I'm screwed!

And then, of all times to build a new house, they have to do it NOW. RIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE. The piling work is so freaking noisy I can't even hear myself think. Even the ground vibrates man. How to study like that! Argh I think I'll just go out to mug. Staying at home is too distracting also haha. There's the computer, and TV, and bed. Haha ok, happy mugging everyone.

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore

Avenue Q

Woots. I just caught 'Avenue Q' this afternoon! 

And I must say, it was great! A bit explicit and R-rated (there's a reason for the age limit) at times, but other than that, it was really hilarious and relevant I think. It's like Sesame Street for adults haha. Basically it's about this group of adults (some portrayed as puppets), living on this street called Avenue Q in New York, and about the problems they face. Like unemployment, love, and finding their purpose in life, among other things. They also covered 'touchy' issues like racism, homosexuality and porn haha. 

You know this musical isn't meant for kids, just from the song titles alone. For example, "If You Were Gay", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", "The Internet is for Porn", and "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today". Hilarious. And other explicit stuff I don't really wanna say here haha. I guess Singapore only allowed this musical to play here cuz most of the sensitive stuff are portrayed by puppets (albeit with humans behind them). But then again, most of these issues are things that most adults can relate to, which makes the show more meaningful.

The songs were also really great and catchy, and the cast was extremely talented. In conclusion, I really enjoyed the show :) So go catch it while you can.

But it was quite sad that we had to go home immediately after the show, cuz Pauline had to study :( I think I was out for such a short while that no one in my family actually knew that I had gone out, till I came home (and which also goes to show how insignificant I am in my family) haha. Oh well. Just a 'lil bit more!!

Except for death and paying taxes

Everything in life is only for now! 

just keep driving

Today I came to the sudden realization that I really love driving. There's something to be said about having the freedom to go anywhere you want, at your own pace, minus the inconvenience of having to squeeze with others on a bus/train, and minus the time spent waiting for the bus/train. Plus you get to avoid being held up by stupid, inconsiderate people who like to quarrel with the bus driver over small stupid things, that result in the driver refusing to drive, when all you wanna do is go home cuz you're so tired from being in school from sunrise to sunset. 

I especially feel all 'grown-up' and independent when I get to drive around to run errands haha. For example, this morning, I drove down to Lavender to collect my new IC (which cost me $100 #$&&^# and because my mum refused to foot the bill). After that, I went to the drive-thru at McDonald's and got myself a coffee, before driving all the way down to school. Speaking of which, I save 45mins if I drive instead of taking a bus. After my project meeting (OE IS FINALLY DONE YAY), I drove to Parkway to collect tickets, and to shop around a bit. Not bad ah. I managed to do so much today! And wow I feel so accomplished that I didn't get into any accidents at all! 

The only thing I don't like about driving, is the parking. I can't park for nuts. But today, I managed to park properly 3 times :D And I don't really like to have passengers. Not because I'm selfish. But cuz I don't really know my way around, and cuz it gives me more pressure cuz I don't wanna kill anyone while they're sitting in my car haha.

Haha oh well, what a pointless entry. 

On a sidenote, 就差那么一点点了, 再多一点点！

I look towards December with much anticipation :)

I'll be your best kept secret

And your biggest mistake

Why school is bad for you.

1. My complexion is super gross now.

2. The same goes for my weight.

3. I have no social life to speak of.

4. I see my project mates more than I see my friends.

5. I live my life on a day-to-day basis, based on whichever deadlines come my way.

6. A public holiday makes me very happy, even if the holiday wasn't meant for me to celebrate.

7. I resorted to watching 'High School Musical' to de-stress. Or rather, watching Zac Efron :D Shameless, I know. Haha but who cares.

Sigh..

Ok back to work. 1 more month Ade! 1 MORE MONTH!!!

JIAYOU!!

Counting on the night for a beautiful day

I shake it your way, I shake it your way

persevere

Ah ok. Well. I'm sorry for making everyone worry over me. I'm fine now, I think. Maybe not yet. But I'm getting there, I promise.

Had a bit of retail therapy during the past few days. Bought some nonsense here and there. Like this album by Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Bryan, but Ryan is so much better). 

Actually I've already downloaded the album a few months ago. But I decided to do something legal for once haha. And I don't mind paying money for good music :D

I haven't shopped for myself for a very very long time. It's very irritating cuz I've been shopping for other people, and now I'm broke and badly need people to return me my money haha. So yup, it's nice to finally buy something for myself, as impulsive a buy it may be (I don't care what I buy, as long as I buy something). Sigh, my sad sad life.

There's nothing much to say about school, except that it still sucks. I think that's the only thing that never changes in my life - the fact that school sucks. Long days that drain your life's blood. Projects that never seem to end. 

I'm really looking forward to the end of the semester! The wwf Great Escape beckons!! I just hope that it'll go through for real this time. I seriously need to get away from Singapore, and people.  As sad and desperate as it may sound haha.

Just 1 month left! PERSEVERE. 

So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel 

At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off
