waiting for dinner now..so i thought might as well update my blog.
i had a nice day in school today. in fact, my days in school have been rather smooth and enjoyable since school started. stressed a bit.. but overall i enjoyed myself.
and till now, i din get much chance to socialise. hahz!

the few of us have been sticking together.. and we are together for all projects except one.
can u believe that? so clickish! hahaz..

seminar style is way much better than lecture/tutorial style. although it's a one time 4 hours lesson, but it does help a lot. in terms of readings and preparations and energy too.
at least, i dun drag myself to lessons!
hehz..

no homework today, except i might juz be a little hardworking and read my text.
im in a good mood. for these few days. =)
and i thank God for carrying me thru the past few weeks where things have been unstable. feeling pissed off over certain things, impatient, adapting to school life again and such.
and i especially enjoyed the sunday youth service that had juz past.
it certainly was one of the rare times where i went over and talked to the younger ones. (mayb i muz stop calling them younger ones..dun think they are that young anymore! haha..)
to step out of the comfortable 'zone' i was in and go over. not a difficult task for some.. but a little for me. hahaz!
and i thank God for the conversation that comes so freely..

okie.. shall stop here for dinner. im sooooo sooooo hungry i can eat a cow!
after which is 'he lan chun'.. which oso means spending time with my parents. =)

*bows to say grace

[update]
and yes, i had such a pleasant surprise during accts tutorial today.
received a sms from cheng kiat. he asked if i formed my fyp group oredi and if not, whether i wanna do my fyp with him.
in the end, after some asking.. i am now doing my fyp with chengkiat and jiangfeng (his ex-roomie).
wat a combination. im in hr, chengkiat is in b&f, jiangfeng is in accts.
2 guys and me doing fyp .. that's it manz.
all the coordination, powerpoint confirm come to me liao. haiz..

the pressure is coming sooner than i expected.
seminar today was okie.. it's on 'compensation and benefit'.
tutors were interesting.. they gave us 10 mins break every hour. oh..cos, it's a 4-hour long seminar.

projects are so scary. they constitute such high percentage of my overall this sem. to the point that proj and final exam are the same weightage. 40% each.
the remaining 20% goes to others.

i've got so much to read up juz for week one of school. and it's only 2 modules!

...
whiny.. am i?

i've got acctg lect tmr morn at 830. followed by meeting in the afternoon and music prac.
energy level remaining = 30%

im feeling a bit.. lethargic. a bit.. sleepy. a bit..drained.
but at the same time, feel peaceful, joyful and excited.

i did my assignment till 1 plus last night.. and had it handed up at 12 plus this afternoon before proceedin the great task of zapping a 300+ textbook.
haven completed.. half the bk to go tmr morn.

went with yen pin, yanyang, suria to have lunch at cant a. met a few others like steph and freida.. slacked for a long time before it was time to go for ge lect.
okie.. i guess i din choose a wrong ge after all.
"creative relations for life"
it talks about the need for self relationship, romance attachment, working life and family relationship.
today's tutorial was on romance attachment. wahahaz.. the tutor is interesting.
and i met a new fren who happened to take this ge as well, who is in hr too.. and stays around my area too. =)
and we managed to click quite well today. hahz.

im going to school early tmr to get my text zapped, read some readings and my lessons at 1230.

i no longer have a 4-days week cos im taking an extra module (elective).. and the module i chose has its lesson on one of my free day! (am i dumb?)
well.. but i think it should be something i will enjoy. it's "creative relations for life".

i feel kinda tired physically. weird.
cos i din do much today except travelling to school den to cathedral den to dinner.
hmm.. mayb it's juz me. the more i sleep, the more tired i am.

okie.

time passes fast.. i remembered telling arlene how much i wanna school to start a week ago cos i was so bored..
but now.. i wished i have one more week. there're things which i juz can't get myself settled down and do it, like doing the org, preparing some sharings, reading my books as well as some camp stuffs..
haiz.. at least, i've got myself ready for school.. books all bought except one more which is out of stock. but i dun intend to buy that cos i am gonna zap it.
i went to school to zap a book today..and cos we managed to fit 2 pages into one-side and we did it two-sided.. so the whole zapped book plus binding costs $4.35 while the book itself is $11.
see the difference? wahaha.. and we paid copyright fees.. so we do have the right to zap an entire text in the school photocopying room! =)
likewise, im gonna do that for my acctg customised text.

and guess wad? i've been given a purple lanyard, on which it says "Let's fight sars together, take ur temp twice a day. keep ntu cool...blahz"
and to think i was laughing at my dear's lanyard and the system.. hahaz.

okie dokie.. time to go for dinner and tv shows. i doubt i'll get down to doing my org later.. lazy me. =)

i juz spent $75 on three textbooks and i dun find it worthwhile. they are so slim, small and argh...$75 for them all.
i hope they dun change the textbooks next year, otherwise they would be stuck with me.
juz like wad's happening to those yr 1 texts..they changed most of the modules. irritating.

read thru a little on the 'strategic human resource mgmt'..interesting
i got this strong hunch im going to have a grt semester ahead, except for studying acctg of cos.
except for acctg, the rest shldn't give me much probs. not that they are easy lahz, but the interest and liking is there.

yippie..im actually looking forward to start school eh! hehz..

i think i still need an organiser.. realised that my august is rather packed with stuffs.
shall see how bahz..

my right eye hurts with every blink i make. went to the doctor juz now..and he made a joke initially.
enters into the doc's room
doc : yup, what can i do for you?
me : think there's something growing in my eye eh..it hurts
doc : let me take a look
flashes super duper bright torch
doc : oorrrhhh!! you got a pimple under ur eye! [smiling away]
me : how come?
doc : cos u peep at others when they bath [luffing rather loudly]
me : WHAT??!! no..i dun.
doc : hahaz!! kidding.
and he goes on to explain... and he warns me not to rub my eyes so often!

wahah.. that happens to be one of my frequent acts. hmm.. hehz.

im bored.. i wanna school to start! hahz.
no tuition today.
my mum is cooking sweet potato porridge (one of my fav), and after dinner, there's 2 boxes of durian in the fridge! (my fav too)
and i oredi ate in the afternoon..but well, my dad says we can finish the durians tonight.
nice dinner im going to have!

[updated]
* my dad juz passed me another $50 cos i spent so much today. so nice eh.. in fact, he juz gave me $50 yday but it's gone ler. sigh...books are costly!
* i got an idea. i will make my own organiser! and it's custom-made so it'll be juz from july 2003 - dec 2003.
and it's gonna be on the 'nemo-lookalike' notebook they are selling at popular now! this shld keep me occupied for 2 days. [/updated]

i wonder if there's anybody out there who tags at their own tag-board or zonk-board cos they wan to make their blog seem lively and popular?

hmm..?

anyway, i went to tuition both my tuition kids today.. wad a difference in their attitudes towards their studies.
the one taking N' level this year aims for an aggregate of 3 points and is crazy abt her studies. she is not smart but she studies real hard. i like her attitude.
the other one is taking O' level next year..but she's having a borderline grade in everything now. she hopes to enter sajc but she dun intend to work hard. well, that's her attitude to me now.

so u see.. one in normal stream studying like mad to get what she wants.. the other juz hopes to get wad she wans but puts in minimal or no action.

call me a meanie. up to you.
but i will rejoice with the girl in normal stream when she does well and even she dun get the top, im happy and glad for her becos she puts in her effort.
while the other girl in express.. shld she not make it in any sense, i'll not pity her.
crying over spilled milk? no point.. you'll nv get anywhere.

to those who are taking exams this year.. please study hard. no point crying over spilled milk later on..(in other words, no point crying when u fail.)

yup..guess i should be sleeping soon. din go for notes sales today.. will do it tmr morning.

[updated].
im not getting my stick control right. think my right hand still okie..but my left hand's grip looks funny. dear, help me check tmr okie? hehz..[/updated]
