oh great..something is obviously not right.
i feel so detached from lessons.. simply cos i've been at home the most of this week.
yep.. somehow somehow..
the rainy weather was somehow at fault..and today was my face.
it got a bit itchy and red and flaky this morn when i was all ready to wake up for lessons.
and so.. i skipped today altogether.

did nothing constructive..
gonna have to prepare some literature review for proj discussion tmr morn
and it's at...
bishan coffee bean at 10am.!!!!!!!!!
O_O"

and i have to get my butt there by hook or by crook
or maybe.. by mrt or my cab!
and i got an essay due on mon.
grrrr... this is not gonna be a smooth sailing weekend.

and what makes it worse is the channel 62 on SCV
im hooked to a certain degree..

joined the YCC (or UIC?) for badminton today..
actually, there were more of others than the cell itself! haha.
had fun.. oh well.. needless to say.

going out with celine tmr for some shopping and mayb meet wanling before their cell.
but i needa go school to buy one more textbk and zap some notes i need for tues and wed seminar
gosh.. i have lessons till 1230 on wed. how sad huh.
*peixuan! dun say anything!*

someone juz sms me..to say there is a make-up lect tmr at 530 in school!
argh....
mayb i shld juz pretend i din get the sms..

alright..
time for me to do my tut for tues.
so i can enjoy myself tmr.

im having some dilemma over fyp now.
shld i do with friends whom i can suan upside down, inside out but they are rather studious and of diff specialisation..
or shld i do with friends whom i can talk to.. (girls mah) AND same specialisation?
for one.. if i choose to do with the 2nd group of ppl, i'll definitely enjoy my topic .. but i might lose a friend
or.. i choose the 1st group, might get good results but it's gonna be stressful.
HOW???

urgh.

weekend resolution:
-- stay away from celine chan!

becos she's sick.
and somehow somehow..i feel unwell these few days.
and i know why.
cos i shared food with her twice and twice, i got sore throat! =/

did nothing today except sleep and sleep and sleep.
my blocked nose is 3/4 gone and my throat doesn't hurt that badly now.. must have drank a gallon of water today man.

tmr is a long day.
i dun like.
i have entre lect and a boring seminar immediately after that.. no time for lunch. hmph.
there's a budget airline talk tmr after my seminar so im like attending lessons from 10.30-7.00
how how how SAD!

my cupboard is still half unpacked.
last sem's notes are still lingering in the corner and my drawer still has the box of sweets from christmas! wahahaz.
im so slack this sem. still has books unbought, notes unprinted, files unpacked.
oh no.. i better start doing something.
this is exactly like last year.. haha.. cos im in hols mode. and new year is round the corner.
i must start motivating myself to do tut.. it's lying there.. staring at me.

woah..i actually stopped blogging for near to two weeks!
back here before school officially starts tmr thou i got no lessons tmr still.
i've got myself a 3-days week, having lessons on tues, wed and fri.
once again..mon and thurs are free days!
i realised this is a very good combination..

mon's rest allows me to have fun on sun and to have a rest before school starts in the new week while thurs's break allows me to take a breather after cell/prayer meeting on wed night.

perfect. oh..
how i love my sem this time round. out of the 4 modules i have, only three are exam-able.! hahaz.
the fourth one: entrepreneurship is totally project-based!

okie..let's have a flashback of my two weeks.
i've been working.. all the way till last fri. nothing much exciting at work except that im determined never to be in finance dept.
i skipped work last thurs due to subject registration and in the afternoon was too lazy to go back work so i went out with celine. details can be found at her blog. wahahaz

i sat down juz now and thought through some issues seriously and i got a little scared.
especially when tertiary cell pops across..
by the time june comes, i'll be in my final year with my fyp..
*side track! gosh!!!! so fast!? i can't believe it.. it seems juz months ago i went for freshman orientation camp!
and by then, i hope cell has more or less settled down with andrew and stanley ord-ing and the army guys like jun hoong, stamford and jiawei getting used to army life. prays hard
and by then.. zhong might be enlisting oredi..
haiz.. one event after another..
i really hope i can cope.
emotionally and spiritually.

not to forget my drumming too.
when zhong is enlisted.. then the amateur drummers have to step in.

i called stamford juz now cos he's enlisting tmr and he told me he was shopping for stuffs with joanie.
and the only thing that crossed my mind when we hung up was how would i feel on the night before my bf gets enlisted?
think think think...
and i actually found myself tearing.
oh no..
am i being too emotional? or is it just natural?

alright alright..
i realised this entry has no link or whatsoever..
hmmm..

does this qualify as a non-sequiter?

Blessed 2004! =)
i had a fantastic time on the last day of 2003.

i had work in the morning till 1230pm.
rushed down plaza sing to watch LOTR with dear, angel and jun hoong.
the show was good.. the food was better! heehz.
we bought lotsa snacks in.. and i was practically chomping every min. even the battle time in the show.. geeezz.

after that, walked to marche heeren to have dinner with tertiary cell.
woah..gave me a shock when i went in. din expect to be such a crowd.
almost everyone was present except sabrina and candice.
even daniel, bowan and boshi were around! had a nice time laughing and hmmm, with calvin and daniel perpetually trying to exchange their cards with mine cos i spent the least.. i had crepe, stingray and ice cream! yipppie..
perfect meal...

went for a little bday celebration for lilian and bowan..
after that, headed down to geylang to have hmm.. supper?
reginald brought us to the famous 'soya bean you tiao' stall..
i had soya milk and soya beancurd.
favourites..

oh.. and i realised i had all my favourite food today..
right from nachos, to twisties cheese, to mushroom crepe, to stingray..and finally..to soya beancurd!

initial idea to esplanade was abandoned after my repeated whining..and others..
so we went to cathedral's baptism pool area to wait for countdown.
a service was going on in the sanctuary..and at 12am, the bell sounded and of cos..
fireworks!!

it lasted for a full ten mins..and woah..
it's awesome!!
so captivating..

the rest stayed for overnight prayer while stanley, jiawei and i headed home..
on the way home, a stupid thought came.. oh then again, it's not stupid. it's sweet..
imagine how i would react if my boyfriend propose to me in future on new year's eve using fireworks?!

i think i would literally faint!
from happiness.. haha.

okie.. that marks the end of 2003.
it was a good year last year.. but it is gonna be a better year this year!

2004 resolutions:
1. a deeper and closer relationship with God and bro/sis in christ.

2. to serve Him with a renewed heart in youth, music and cells.

3. to be a reflector for Him in school, home and work (attachment)
