day 1 of the 17-day long battle.
anticipating the end of all the blood-shed.
despite the fact that this day is only day 1.
the beginning.

yes. beginning with the end in mind.

today's battle results.
survived.
battled for a total of 1 hr 45 mins.
had a weird splitting pain in the head in the morning before the paper.
and a runny nose.
but thank god.
i wasnt affected when i was in the exam hall.
and managed to complete my paper and leave the exam hall 15 mins before the stipulated time.
not cos it's super duper easy.
but it was manageable.
and plus the last part which was the essay.
know it means know it.
so i guess there wasnt much to really check through.
there's no way to rewrite anyway.
overall. i guess the results would be satisfactory.

2 more papers up next for the coming week.
and then 2 more papers in the week after next.
and friday the 28th shall be a day definitely worth celebrating.

haha. personality change maybe?
haha.

haha.

anyway.
there was good news.
got my first choice subject for inter-sem elective.
which means i can clear off one module.

so i guess it's good too.
will strive hard to do well.
so mondays tuesdays and wednesdays mornings starting june19 will be school days for me.
hehe.
but a really nice timetable of 9 am to 12 noon classes each day.
just got to wake up a little earlier.
and i'm glad that sis got her choice of subject too.
although we didnt manage to get a subject together.

and then spent my day mugging.

but i guess i did sthg.

one day closer to the start.
and yes.
the battle is starting.
12th is my first paper.
and i'll be looking forward to the last paper on the 28th.
embarking on the beginning with the end in mind.
i guess it's a nice way to put it.

this semester.
i've got to make an improvement.
a vast improvement too.

and happy birthday to ying.

family sunday

lesson of the day - failure is not fatal
remember that everybody fails.
remember that the someone watching over all of us loves us not for our success.
remember that lessons can be learnt from failures.

linda was saying my blog is gathering dust again.
but i only didnt blog for friday and saturday!
hmmmm.
weird. it's just my blog isnt it?
haha.

went back home on friday.
only to really award myself with a break.
mum made my favourite potato soup.

it looks plain though she added carrots, pork ribs, onions other than potatoes in.
but picky me only took the potatoes and the soup.
anyway. i loved it so much that i gulped down two bowls of that for dinner.
and of course.
tried my best to study given the slacker mode i was in.

saturday slept to my fill.
and woke up only after much screams by sis.
haha.
lazy me. poor sis.
then after that tutored.
and went out with sis for a while to shop for presents.
april is horrible.
it's exam month.
and so many people are having their birthdays.
it's making me broke.
haha.
but then again.
it's the month in which two of the most important people in my life were born.
after that slacked around at home again.
but i'm finally done with one last chapter of one. yes one of my exam modules that i have to prepare for.

then sunday was rather eventful.
went out for dinner tonight.
just to celebrate ying's birthday earlier.
went to great world city crystal jade restaurant for dinner.
a sumptuous meal i must say.
we took so much so much photos.
haha.
crazy people.
but yea it was a great meal.
cos we seldom get to eat together.
so it was definitely a nice time spent.
some crap photos i took of the food.
sis' phone got more pics.
haha.
shall get from them before i post.
hehe.

the menu

what i ordered for dinner. shrimp wanton noodles.
the wanton is shrimpy-licious. haha.
damn nice.

i dont really recall what this dish is called.
but i think it's number 20 on the menu list.
some fried dumpling with salad sauce or sthg.
haha.
nice too. the sauce is nice.
again more shrimp.

this one is good.
haha.
small and simply lovely when eaten once it's served.
hot hot one.
very very tasty.

and this one which ying picked cos it was the chef's recommendation.
haha.
yummy.
and it simply smells damn good.
haha.
ok now my blog looks like some food recommendation site.
yea but it was a good dinner.
shall post more photos of people when i get them from my beloved sisters.
haha.
meanwhile.
stick to the food-that-makes-you-drool pictures.
haha.

anyway. i had a funny encounter tonight on my way back to hall tonight.
slipped and fell over a pool of water.
and right in front of a bunch of guys.
damn embarrassing.
but well.
at least they were nice enough to not laugh at my stupid stunt.
hehe.
i'm clumsy.
wah haha.
and yea. i am not injured.
i've got someone watching over me.
and i was created with a butt that can cushion a fall.
;)

and before i end this entry.
something i would like to add on to my wishlist for now.
haha.
a watch!
yes to think i want a swatch watch.
and i've yet to get that nike bag that i wanted previously.
long time back.
argh.
i'm bad at saving.
why is it that they say singapore is one of the countries with the highest savings?

top-left: naive dream. one of original swatch watches. which means it shld cost 73 bucks in retail outlets. hmm. saw this on the website only and found it quite nice. the colour combi. my taste is weird la. if you dont agree that it's nice. haha.
top-right: the mother's day 2006 collection. really sweet. it's called flower wishes.
bottom-left: flowers forever. this interesting swatch skin collection that's very girl. haha. more interesting is that the strap is fabric. wouldnt really buy this one but it's still quite an interesting find. haha.
bottom-right: star hunt. another swatch skin collection. found it really nice at first sight. when i saw it at the retail outlet on saturday. but end up liking more the one beside it. but i cant seem to get a picture of it off the website.

by the way. the one i like cost 123 bucks. nice number. haha.
but then again.
i lack the funds! hehe.
shall have to come up with a proper budget. hmmm.
maybe i can come up with a good one after proper revision.
haha.

out of here.
enough of my crap.
another long entry.
bleh.
