fridaythe13th virus

i cant believe this.
how unlucky can i get?

i actually missed the class gathering!
damn shit.
16 missed calls.
only woke up at the 17th call.
which was already 4 hours or so pass the meeting time.
damn stupid.
argh.
slept at 8 am after coming back from night cycling.
although i didnt cycle.
but was tired cos i stayed up for like close to 24 hours.
then set 3 alarms to make sure i wake up on time to get ready.

i didnt realise i slept so damn soundly.
i didnt hear the 3 alarms.
i didnt hear the ringtone of the 16 calls.
omg.
craziness.

and yea kind of unlucky.
dinner was cancelled too.
now dont know if i'm gonna pop by town to get the shuffle repaired.
man.
stupid me.
argh argh.
i hate this!
sick.

panda en

suffering from severe lack of sleep.
poor me.
haha. how dumb to have to self-pity.
but ever since sunday.
i've only been getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep each day.
and cos of that i feel damn tired.

a super crazy week in school.
monday was the first time in this semester that i went to a tutorial with no questions done.
simply cos i was rushing through my assignment.
which i hope and pray i dont flunk.
*i havent been lucky*

so dumb.
i'm gonna get my tutorials done for next week over this weekend.
gonna slog my heart out reading.
i want to do well this semester.
very well.
argh.
damn stressing.

and i somehow have this feeling that i'm growing dumber.
cant seem to grasp the concepts properly in school.

tuesday was the first time i skipped lecture.
damn it.
cos the lecturer mentioned that he would only provide notes after the lecture.
and then there'll be a video recording of the lecture.
so end up making use of the time to work on the assignment that was due today.

at night managed to go for a jog with linda.
a rather good way to destress i guess.
i dont particularly enjoy jogging.
but well.
lazy me need some exercise.

wednesday was most probably my so-called slackest day in the week.
tuition got cancelled since i went down on sunday.
and my student was having her ca for science on thurs which i dont teach.
end up cancelling tuition to let her do her self-study.
so i did mine to.
to get started on preparing for one of my quiz held on thurs.
woke up early despite it being my non-school day.
and went to study.
afternoon was spent doing project.
preparing for my presentation today.
video-taking at night.
and totally worn me out.

thursday.
had 1 presentation.
which was ok.
i barely spoke much.
sigh. watever.
had 2 quizzes.
and sadly.
i didnt fare well for one.
only got 70%.
damn it.
i am a totally it idiot.
got to work hard for the subject.
someone got 15% more than me.
how stressing.
made use of the 3 hour break in between class to get started on studying for my quiz.
stupid.
only had time to study on the day of the quiz.
and the questions were damn hard.
i think i'm gonna flunk.
wonder if i should just s/u the elective.
argh.

today had one presentation in the morning.
which i was quite certain i could handle.
but i end up getting screwed by my own typos.
argh.
so my presentation was like "oh. sry that part is supposed to be..."
-.-
i cant believe how useless i am becoming.
after class rushed to the computer lab to get the project done.
as it was due by 5 pm today.
and i dont have the luxury of the time for that.
got to come back to tutor.
so managed to get the last few parts done after close to 3 hours of struggle.
phew.
i want to do well for that too.
argh.

now gonna have 2 hours of tuition back at home.
before i rush back to hall again.
tonight shall be a long night.
going night cycling.
and how dumb.
i wont even be cycling.
because of my "job".
i'll be in a car most probably.
taking photos.
total waste of my time.
watever.

hope can manage to cancel tuition for saturday.
i think i'll be quite worn out.
so that can attend 6a gathering.

man i am so deprived of sleep.
5 days.
and i feel as if i have grown so much older.
stress is a number one aging catalyst.

and special thanks to ying.
who got me a book.
when she could have use the sum of money to get herself one instead.
"the confidence plan"
haha. i guess at times i really lack that confidence.
would need it very much to shine for now i guess.
haha.
really sweet of her.
and i'll find time to read it girl!
thank you! love you loads!

sunny sunday

yes. the combo was broken.
as described by joel.
haha.
shall just blog an entry about today before i hit the bed.

went tutoring in the morning today.
simply cos my student has her ca next week.
and would very much want as much help as she can.
woke up at 8 am.
kind of tired.
blehh.
and it's worrying.
haha.
i hope she does fine.
cos i dont want to disappoint.
how. troublesome. things can get. sometimes.

after that got home.
cabbed down to great world city with sis.
how cool.
even as an intern, she is the event co-ordinator for an event today.
haha.
and i got free tix to go watch nanny mcphee preview.
how cool!
hehe.

tong tong came too.
the first time she got to watch in cinemas.
so i guess it was natural for her to be fidgety.
totally had to be her playmate for today before the movie.

she took so much pics on my phone!
pics to be shown later in this entry.
do scroll down and look at how cute she is.
but a tough one to handle sometimes.
haha.
super active.
i guess it's good.
a child should be happy and full of energy.

the movie was damn good.
haha.
i like.
haha.
maybe i really got "tong zhen" according to linda.
haha.
but i found the movie really nice.
so i totally enjoyed myself.
despite some distractions here and there by the little girl.
haha.

after that rushed back home to get my stuff.
then got back to hall.
had a meeting at 8 pm.
which lasted all the way to 2 am.
got back to do stuff here and there.
and now i'm going to really have to catch some sleep.
morning class tmr.
i hope i can wake up on time.
eeks.

and yea. the one-week long term break has come to an end.
and the conclusion is.
zhien is damn screwed.
i've got 2 quizzes on thursday which i havent started preparing.
i've got one assignment due on friday which i havent started.
i've got one presentation on friday that i havent touched at all too.
i've got one presentation on thursday which i am utterly lost about.
i've got tutorials totally untouched for this week.
man. i really wonder how i can slack that much for the holiday.
argh.
now in a big mess.
and i'm gonna get back the working momentum!
blast off!


the counter where they distributed early-bird gifts.
haha. sis is damn capable.
and her colleagues were commenting how they can recognise me at once as her sister.
just cant tell younger or older. -.-
man am i that old looking?


inside the cinema.
they played some games with the kids before they started screening the movie.
haha.
butt spell.
and burp contest.
lol.
crap.
but the kids like it.
oh well.
maybe i did when i was a child too.


tong tong at first.
didnt want to take the pic when i told her to.


then i guess somehow i am a bad influence.
haha.
she got narcissitic too!
oops.


pics of us. tong tong and me.
isnt she just so cute.
haha.


2 children!
one 3 yrs old and one hitting the big 2.
interesting!
haha.


and to show off something i find really cute!
saw this trailer for over the hedge.
an animation movie.
coming out in may!
haha. how nice.
i think it's damn cute.
haha. when it's out. i'm gonna find time to watch!
visit the site here!

friday

ooops.
the holiday week is coming to an end.
and last night i didnt sleep.
tried to complete my work.
but i'm terribly stuck.
and i feel stupid.
sigh.
hate this man.
the assignment.
i am having this feeling that i'm going to screw it up.
damn jia lat.
sigh.

went back home from hall early in the morning.
since i didnt sleep.
came back home and then slept.
then tutored.

end up having to cab down to nafa.
to watch the hall production.
it was ok la.
haha.

i guess i wasted another day.
time to get back to work again.
try and figure out how to get the assignment done.
sigh.
i hate my lack of intelligence.

thursday

ah i wasted another day.
again.
this is getting crappier.
i am not doing much.
in fact i am close to doing nothing.
i'm so gonna die when school starts next week.
argh.

today woke up late.
although was supposed to go for klunch with ps.
she was supposed to give me a wake-up call at 9 am.
but mistake on her part
and laziness on mine.
resulted in me waking up only at close to 10 am.
haha.
and klunch starts at 11 am!
gosh.
in the end, got ready quickly and headed down to town.
i still ended up earlier than her.
some stuff held her up.

so we only started singing at 11.30 am.
haha.
wasted half an hour.
or slightly more.
conclusion.
usual.
haha.
sometimes i feel like i want to go kbox.
yet.
i think everytime i go. it's about the same few songs.
nothing really refreshing.
i guess it's the company that matters ba.
or else there seriously isnt any difference singing at home aloud.
haha.

cine's kbox usually offers very nice lunch.
had thai fish bento today.
without the thai chilli sauce of course.
but unfortunately.
i think service at kbox isnt really up to standard.
in my opinion.
they short-changed us time.
supposed to end at 2 pm.
but the person came knocking like 10 mins before.
expecting us to pack up and go.
by the time it was 2 pm, the person had already knocked on the door 3 times.
weird.
not really pleasing.
but well.
not as if i frequent them that often.
shant be bothered.

after that shopped around a little.
then ps had to rush off for tuition.
decided to head back to hall.
i seriously think that i should have gone back home last night.
should have packed my books and all when i left for tuition.

watched bleach ep 70.
and i think i am getting confused.
partially cos the impatient me went to read the manga.
and now i am seriously messed up.
shall have to stop confusing myself with the later parts of the story.
hehe.

i travelled all the way down to town and back to hall again.
what a total waste of time.
and money.
eeks.

some crappy photos.
and i shall have to get back to work.
really really really have to do something already!


ps and me. my camera not very good. so the pic is kind of dim. already tried to adjust the brightness and contrast.


ps posing. still. my phone camera lousy. bad lighting.


my lunch.
i doubt the contents can be seen clearly.
haha.
but it's rice. fried fish. salad. watermelon. and ice lemon tea.


me.
i bet my mouth can be big enough to eat up the mic.
just that i dont dare to try.
blehh.
indigestion.

enough nonsense.
gonna be out of here.

walking advertisement

haha.

more games at settler's cafe.
quite fun.
haha.
i think it can be quite a good gathering place.


the game is called on cloud 9 or sthg.
a really colourful game.
quite slow-paced game.
can easily get bored of it.
but yea. it's quite cute.


zombies.
haha. a rather exciting game.
quite fun.
cant really predict wat can happen in the game.
just play.
and then see what happens.
haha.
quite fun for people who are out to be zombie slayers.

pit is yet another game.
i realised i am totally retarded at it.
really bad at it.
haha. supposed to make sounds. but i always slower than people.
but the cards and the animals thing are cute.
dont have a pic of it though.

rat-a-tat cat is a no-brainer game.
good for relaxing after chionging games for dont know how long.
haha.
rather dependent on luck.
cant really play for long though.
cos one game ends rather fast.
haha.

cant really remember if there are more i played.
haha.
2 consecutive days at the same settler's cafe outlet.
2 different groups of people though.
yesterday's one was more high definitely.
haha. the person that played with us and taught us the games yesterday can recognise me lor.

lucky dinner was somewhere else near.
or else i'll be eating the same few things for dinner for 2 nights.
yes and i am slacking.

quite shag.
after tuition. shall have to make sure i do some work.
crap.

tuesday

yet another day down.
still havent done much.
trying to get things off my list of "important to-do" things.
but failed attempt i guess.
dont really have much time tomorrow.
the pressure is rising.
gosh.
yet i am slacking.

overslept again.
so breakfast was off.
again.
sigh. stupid lazy me switched off my alarm and went back to sleep.
only got woke up by the sms tone about 2 hours later.

after that slacked around.
tried to get stuff done.
was reading a little here and there.
sigh.
but considered nothing accomplished.

tried to help out with video-taking today.
and honestly i wasnt of much help.
and yea. yesterday's night episode of things got me really unhappy.
but well.
it still goes on.
will have to try and do my job well.
so that i wont get remarks i dont like to hear of.
and hope that it'll pass soon enough.

after that got back and tried to start on some assignments.
but end up really confused.
will have to get it figured out soon.
argh.

and i made a seriously fatal error.
which made me waste some people's time.
for a project.
our group was assigned a task.
and i told everyone the wrong group number.
and so everyone embarked on the wrong task.
when i realised it.
everyone have to redo.
argh.
stupid.
i cant stand it.
felt quite bad.
i guess sorry isnt enough.
i've been screwing things up.
sigh.
how freaking useless.

after that tried to get the layout done.
i guess it's not going to turn out fantastic.
sigh.
running low on creative juice.

then showered and got ready to get out.

tonight was outing with the kid's world bunch of volunteers.
linda's group and mine had a combined gathering.
erm. put it that way. my group crashed their gathering.
cos we've got too small a number of people.

went to settler's cafe at clarke quay.
and it was a really fun experience.
the food was average.
but the games really kept us high.
played elixir. this really unique card game.
then played halli galli. the game that got us all whacked real hard.
played jungle speed. which was a test of concentration and speed.
reaction time was crucial.
haha.
played taboo for a while.
and we all felt real drained after 3 plus hours.
so end up requesting for a no-brainer game.
and we were presented with jenga original.
which made us really high.
with all the screams and stunts.

overall the outing was fun.
haha.
quite an interesting experience.
and i was appointed the next outing's organiser.
oops.
i hope i can be up to standard.
haha.

after that got back to hall around 12 midnight.
then was quite worn out.
finally got the layout done.
and i'm off to sleep soon.
shall have to settle my schoolwork soon.
mum's gonna get really upset if she knows i've been slacking too much.
haha.

here are some photos for today.


the menu


the whole menu. interesting right? they made it like a monopoly board.
hehe. available for sale too.


the various games they have. there's simply a lot.
quite fun.
hmmm. it's gonna take quite some trips to get everything played.
haha.


the unique card game - elixir


my deck of cards. spells plus ingredients.
cool.
the spells allows us to get opponents to do certain things.
haha.
interesting.

so that's my tuesday.
tmr is tuition day.
