Unpolished Gem

hi guys! Just suddenly felt like typing again, who the dang dang is sopskyslat? I googled it and turns out its a pragueian dish? Er, sopskyslat... if you're from Prague, can I stay at your house when I go visit? Anyway Anyway, gosh, the buzz of school is UNDENIABLE, feels great to be back in action actually, after nuaing for like 4 weeks at home, it's time to move on! I'm glad i came back earlier, so feeling much more settled down now. I'm just trying to do some research now and applications, so, lets just say things are moving, GOD BLESS! Anyway, i'm sick of staring at the computer pages of company reports, so here i am, back at the blog. I just had a parttime job interview which I thought went badly cos firstly, I was JUST on time, like seriously just made it cos my stupid clock was working on a dying battery and that made me late! Had to squeeze with the morning crowd at Bank which was insane, wish i was walking on stilts so can overtake everyone. And just got n...

This is really turning out to be a disastrous exam year. Bye bye 1st :( Then I console myself by saying, oh well, no first class then no first class lor. It's just a case of not being good enough and being obsessive, I don't like getting 2nd when I know there's a 1st. It's like I decided overnight that getting 1st is simply not within my reach. Working hard can only take you so far right, afterall. Sigh! Nah, i'm mature enough, this can't beat me!

Just needed to let off some steam/excess Micro 1 energy, whatever you call it before i embark on studying for macro. The paper wasn't that tough but i'm not confident of getting a first, made some silly mistakes which should have been avoided and just felt that I wasn't at my peak during the paper even though i studied so much for it already. Yeah, I should really be more grown up about all these exam things. But I always still find it daunting and scary. 3 more papers to correct the bad karma from Micro 1. I'm still upset about not having done better but I've got to pick myself up ... quick. Oh, have i told you about how much i dislike wearing glasses. That's one of the reasons why i dont like the exam period. Feel like a 24 hour nerdddddddddddddd

I suddenly feel like going to China. I'm thinking about the what could-have-been if i did apply for the programme. Yeah, just feel like going back to my ''roots'' so called and just immersing myself in Chinese... the culture, everything! It is such a beautiful language, and I wish I was better at my Mother Tongue. (this has got nothing to do with ** btw, haha!) And I don't think i'll ever get the chance to do something like that in the future because this is my last holiday before working!

Ahhh! There are thieves in the library. Never thought people would be driven immoral during exam period and have the audacity to steal notes!!! Now, i'm so wary of leaving my stuff around. And i can't find out who did it, so irritatinggggg, they should have CCTV cameras. The thing is, how would the person know that I would be out of the library for long enough for him/her to take action ie, the person must have been watching me and saw me getting out of the library. Oh... schemeing. I should ask the girl who sits opposite me if she saw anyone taking my stuff. Pft! To prevent such further incidents from happening, I might have to lug my stuff out everyone i'm gone for long hours, that's soooo troublesome. Cos that would include lunch break. Or that's a risk I have to take for studying in the library. It didn't happen at all last year, so, perhaps i'm just unlucky huh. Woah, to think I thought I found my perfect area in the library to study. Anyway, cant belie...

Yay! I'm 21! Just had a very lovely picnic/squate-down-on-the-floor-kampung style bbq at the park behind my house! Thanks to Michelle's idea! And i had alot of fun. And thanks to everyone who came for the food and the presents and just taking the time to come down cos we're all stressed by on-coming exams. Just makes everything that much sweeter! Yeah, and last night, when I came home, i thought everyone was sleeping already cos it was so dark and, surprise surprise! I had a birthday cake, yeah, my very blatant request for a black forest Paul cake came true! Thanks to my housemates :) :) :) Woah, I really got a shock! And to Miss Hui, you're the sole singapore representative in London, thanks for the presents babe! See ya in June! And my mum got me this really nice watch that i so adore, similarly good taste, Heh! Thank you mummy, love ya! Okae, i'm very tired now. I would love to post some photographs but my eyelids are drooping and I will do it next time. This blo...

OMG! It's been 2 months since the last update. Thought i'd drop a note to say HELLO, i'm still alive and hope everyone's doing well! I was on the verge of abandoning this blog but knowing myself, I know there'd come a day when I'd actually feel a little urge to blog, and wala, took about 2 months... haha. Anw... i'm blogging because... i'm suffering from post-holiday depression. Germany was SO awesome, loved it, loved Berlin, loved the people and to anyone interested in going to Berlin, please stay at JETPAK City Hostel, it's the best hostel i've stayed in, VERY clean, good location, internet access, very nice and friendly staff, loved it. You're missing out if you don't stay there in Berlin, i swear!... Unless you're going for 4/5 star hotels. I met Yoke Pean and her friends and we so coincidentally booked the same hostel, took the same flights to and from Germany, so Mich and I were with them for most part of the trip, twas FUN FUN ...

I hate waiting i hate waiting i hate waiting!!! How can they do this to me... ! -faints

I'm going to fail POF and POE! Always come out of class feeling like i dont know anything!!! BOO! I can't wait to study for it. Anw, the wait is killing me... I want to know. NOW. I usually don't think about it but when my thoughts linger and imagination runs wild. But i'm so scared of disappointments.

These days are characterised by a spring in the step and just general comfort with everything. I can't really pinpoint it to any one thing, it's just a sort of inner peace. Contented and counting my blessings. Was just thinking, the chance to be educated in a top institution is really one of the best things that has happened to me. And the thought that there is less than half the course to go saddens me. As much as I complain that POE is the bane of my life, and POF is almost there as well, I do see the big picture at the end. I'm excited about the modules available in year 3 already. So perhaps, I should really consider doing a Masters? But where and what? Food for thought. I want to read a book, drink coffee and eat a slice of moist chocolate cake. Yumm. and... I would like to extend a warm welcome to Miss Michelia Hui to the UK! HELLO! BIG WAVES :)

Yeah, after making the last cut to get into the Indian Finance Minister talk, I found myself sitting next to Mr Lim Hng Kiang... the minister of ___? Haha, Would have greeted him if i didn't forget his name then! What a surprise! Finally managed to catch a public lecture, it was kinda exhilarating to be among the last admitted in and it was a great talk. I always feel so enlightened after listening... Hope there will be more interesting ones coming up. Looking forward! And Sir Howard Davies is really funny.

I will be acting again this Thursday for SPL! Do come and support, very limited seats available! I personally like the scripts, hope it'd be enjoyable for all! See ya !

What a relaxed holiday!!! In the company of Vee and SQ and Rainna and Nicole. AH! I miss those girls already. And of course, Mr. Nice Guy Sung. Had such a great time i didn't want to come back to London, but i guess all good things must come to an end. Vee and I were just complaining about going back to reality. So sucky cos i have so much homework to do and it's killing me slowly. Anyway, happy things first. Can't believe we cried so much when we had to say goodbye. My tearducts are quite free flowing, but what was the trigger? Too emotional alr, but SQ said it can't be controlled. I think it's the whole farewell thing plus the fact that i'm not going to see them for a long time more. But we had a great time so that's what's important yeah? And i will remember and always be grateful that i went over. Let me recount the stuffs that we did, first stop: Princeton (ulu land) shuttling between NYC and Princeton daily, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art ...

Yeah! NY is costing me a bomb! I think Easter can't go anywhere alr man. :( And my pay check is still not in yet which makes me feel even poorer... i want my pay check... NOW! Places which i still def want to visit are Germany, Eastern Europe, Spain, Portugal. Nmind, save up for summer, hopefully our summer plans come true FIO! Ah, New York is coming soon! finally figured out where is lower east side, midtown etc and all the different neighbourhoods. Cheem man! Hope everything goes smoothly! I need a longer holiday !!! One month is simply not enough for play, study and relaxation! P/S: i realize i forgot to put washing powder, so the clothes were washed in... water!!! What a disturbing thought! Argh! was just thinking... if my nose was more effective, i probably would have realized earlier that the clothes didn't smell fresh... instead of taking 2 days to recall!

Last week of school is turning out to be CRAZY! ah!!! my brain is scattered everywhere! And... can you believe it... i said GOODNIGHT to my teacher when i meant goodbye... too embarassing. I was just too sleepy. Okae, no time alr. My spanish is all over the place too. Why... dictionary.com screw up on me when i'm doing hw... no time!!! I can't wait for end of school. But i think there will still be alot of unfinished business. AH!!!

You need to believe in yourself. Believe that if you tried hard enough, things would work out. . ! Spoke to Papa and he helped calm my nerves. And made me re-focus. Sometimes, I wish i were... SUPERWOMAN.

If i had a file! All my notes would have been saved from the flood. Luckily i saved my calculator and handphone. My bag was dripping with red water all over and i have no idea why it's RED. MESSY... I'm a GOOSE

OH NO! sorry girls, i didn't know you'll commented. OOPS, anyway, the tagboard thingy is finally UP! It's so simple and i should have done it like one thousand years ago. I don't know how, why the apps are so tiring, time consuming and stressful! I'm just bad at balancing it with school work and fun! There's so much happening around but i always find myself consumed by the same old boring apps which makes me an old and boring person too!! Eeeeks! Really want to get it out of the way and play! And that's the only reason why year 2 is bad, but if you think about it, it's a matter of choice. In any case, it's been taking up a disproportionate amount of a precious commodity called time and draining my vitality and beauty (okae, that sounds weird :) but it's true leh! when i'm even too lazy to wear contacts, that means i'm sacrificing beauty! hahah.) and i'm determined to get it SETTLED in the next few days, by hook, brook crook. Can you s...
