these days have been rather productive for me, I have finished compiling the notes for history of chinese literature and toda
y, I am going to compile my notes for new media. good luck to me~
last thursday I met yihui gor on my way to tuition! it was quite dramatic as we walked pass each other while crossing the road from the opposite directions. haha. I was daydreaming as usual and he waved to me! well, I would have stopped to talk to him if i were not rushing for tuition =(
yesterday my sister's wedding pastries arrived and she was busy delivering them to relatives and neighbors. and this coming saturday my baby sister is going to shanghai~ woohoo~
I just hope that I will score well in the examinations and be on the Dean's list~ haha. yeah I know, I am a dreamer, a true blue Pisces.

Just read a blog written by someone random. I was truly touched by all his entries, either on studies or relationships. I don't know why I am so interested in him, but there's something about him which has attracted me a lot. I realised web 2.0 really gives you no privacy. Haha, I found out all I could about him and stumbled upon his blog. His passion for chinese was really impressive. It has made me reflect on myself....
Friends around me should have known that I am having trouble coping with the chinese modules in NUS and I am currently thinking of appealing to MOE for a change of major. I have talked to my sister and she has said something which is 一针见血. She said, "You are someone who is afraid failure and never dare to step out of your comfort zone." This is so true.
My ambitions have been changing... changing to the tracks which I deemed I am most suitable for. However... is this really the case?
I went JSS because I was afraid of competition in the SAP schools and I'd rather study in a school with familiar faces and no special stream. I chose a triple-science class because all my friends were there. I chose JJC also because of my friends and the less-competitive environment. I took up the MOE LEP scholarship for the money. I chose NUS FASS because I got C for my GP and did not dare to apply for Mass Comm. in NTU. I chose to take up the MOE Teaching scholarship because my teacher mentors complimented me, and for the prestige of it. However, now I want to give up on Chinese because it is too difficult.
I have received an invitation from University Scholars Programme due to a recommendation by my English professor, Dr. Hiramoto. She is one of the most admirable teacher whom I have met. But once again, I have decided to turn it down because I don't think that I could cope with the stress and the additional modules I have to take if I were a U scholar. I have till 30th Nov to finalise my decision but I doubt I have the courage to take up this challenge.
Sigh. I feel totally ashamed of myself. I was never willing to do something which I have no confidence in. However, he is trying so hard to achieve his goals and yet I am whining and lamenting. Moreover, his blog entries are full of hope and meaningful content while mine is simply full of lamentations. How shallower can I be?
I am really wondering if I should take up the challenge and continue studying Chinese...

Shitty. I was so pissed.
Just received an email saying that new media final exam will only cover the content after week 8. Yesterday I have spent the WHOLE day mugging through previous lectures of NM. URGH. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME and ink... I have copied all the main points of the readings onto my lecture notes and SHITTY.
Sigh, it doesn't pay off being hardworking yeah?
*curses the NM department*

Hi all
Went kbox with dalian, yh and yk today. Haha, was pretty fun except that i keep going out of pitch, as usual. Anyway, had a great day. Oh, and you can listen to our kbox recordings (using SAFRA kbox recording system) as seen on my playlist, i don't think my voice sounds like that. I thought it should sound lower. weird. haha, laugh as loud as you can. By the way, dalian and yh's singing competition's audition is tomorrow. Wish them luck~
And i've finally changed a blogskin. haha, it is such a hassle changing =(. Anyway i now prefer this kind of skin which you don't have to click on links to navigate.
Tomorrow will be a mugging day for me.. oh well.
Monsoon season is here and it has destroyed my birken. Well, it has darkened now. sigh, i have protected it so well. but i still love my birken, thanks eleen =)
heh heh. going to finish up my chinese assignment. ciaos!
PS1: I think i'll be blogging quite a lot because i gave up on starkingdoms after being killed twice consecutively.
PS2: If the link to your blog is wrong, please let me know and i'll change it right away (hopefully).

Ooooh not forgetting the handsome guys~ KUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDAKUNDA
Yeah, I can't imagine I used to dislike him (just because eleen likes him. lol.)
Hopefully my exams will be over soon (nope, they have not started.) so that I can meet up with mingxian, shooting, yanhong, yukai, dalian, molly~ It's been 1-2 months since we last met? ='(
ALL THE BEST for my friends taking A levels! Jia you Jia you!

just taking a break from my schoolwork yeah..
spent the whole day reading through copyright stuff and listening to NM lecture >.<"
e-learning week for me, pretty cool but pretty boring.. haha. i'm more of a visual person...
well.. lots to do.. i need to finish my chinese readings (which are very very very thick and cheeeeeeeeem) then i need to revise for my el test on tuesday... then i need to compile and finalise the project work to hand in on monday for chinese music... hm......... that means i shall stop blogging. haha.
have been pretty life-less this week as i have been a total mugger.. though not a very efficient one. well..
btw. was kinda shocked to receive the lowest mark for my nm group project. haha. guess i really have to put in more effort for nm now! yea!
in one way, i'm not worried about my grades as i kinda guaranteed a job but on the other hand i'm worried about my grades.. because it affects my pay ultimately. haha. for my future welfare... i should muggggggg harder -.-""
gambate everyone (the studying girls and the ns-ing guys)!
eeek gotta read chinese reading which is written in english which is worse because i dont understand the translation. eeeeek, why cant they use the standard hanyupinyin? haha. nvm. should stop my habit of complaining and get started!!!! JIA YOU
AIM: complete ALL chinese readings.....!!! which means no SLEEP *sobs*
