spring cleaning

to clear off some dust gathered on this page.
haha.
not that bad i guess.
i just didnt update for a few days.
haha.

quite some things to say.

sunday.
had grandma's bday celebration over at her place.
so it was quite a crowd.
and major photo-taking session.
sis brought her slr.
ying brought my digicam.
loads of photos.
but i dont have them yet!
my dear girls, please send them to me too k?
then i can post and make this darn thing a little more interesting.
haha.

monday class.
got back some assignments.
the grades arent totally desirable.
but they arent that bad too i guess.
figured that if i can do well for the main papers.
shld be fine.
this week only have lessons on 3 out of 5 days.
since it's the last week of school.
only tutorials.
which means also that exams are approaching.

tuesday was mugging day.
and i activated my bookworm club distress signal.
4357. in case most people dont understand. help on the phone's keypads can be typed out keying 4357. that's why.
haha. yes i am lame.
and i realised that some people have abnormal speeds when it comes to studying.
and some people have amazingly high saturation points.
some people have amazingly high endurance!
woah.
i need the 6a kind of motivation too.
linda is one source.
haha.
any more volunteers to be my sources?

was damn shag on wednesday although there wasnt class.
the rain these few days seem to rain down on me.
sadly.
it rains and stops. rains and stops.
wore me out with all the short distance running here and there just cos i am lazy to whip my umbrella out of my bag.
talk abt sloth.
haha.

and yes. i just got a little drenched running back to hall in the rain.
the rain was quite heavy but the distance was.
not too long.
but then again.
not too short.
and so. the lazy me decided to run.
and yes. in a super duper unglam manner.
back to hall.
feels good getting drenched sometimes. but then again. not with my bag.
haha.
was protecting my bag like mad. cool huh?

oh. and just when i thought today is the worst day of the week.
cos my class is like 8.30 am to 12.30 pm then 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm as usual.
and both classes had quizzes today.
the quizzes were manageable.
was quite happy with my scores.
cos they were better than previous ones i scored.
and the 3.30 pm class ended within an hr.
shiok.
but well if it ended later at the usual time. i wouldnt have to run in the rain.

two major discoveries today.

discovery no. 1
people can seriously be horribly kiasu.
*faints*

passed by the canteen today.
and apparently there was a booth set up to give out free nescafe coffee.
which was slightly chilled.

first there was a crowd.
and since they dont restrict the distribution.
it was like a free for all buffet.
what happened was.
i saw people grabbing for the bottles.
and then come out of the crowd with like at least 3 in each hand.
walked down the canteen.
and saw someone with like one box!
saw someone with many bottles and was like gulping down the 3rd* bottle already! amazing caffeine overdose. *i saw 3 bottles without the cap on that's why.

and some interesting sights.

look at those plastic bags on the table.
my camera isnt clear.
but there are people getting plastic bags to "take-away" the free bottles of coffee.


and this is the table in front of the one previously shown.
5 bottles. one person took it all.

woah. amazing how freebies just never fails to attract crowds.

discovery no. 2
guys can be quite weird at times.
not to be sexist k?
but just like males say females are difficult to understand.
i propose the other way is the same too.
males can also be difficult to understand.

first, my tutor.
the one that usually ends class on the dot at 6.30 pm.
he used to take 2 hrs to finish up 12 slides.
today he took half an hr to finish up 8.
improvement in efficiency.
he used to set really hard quizzes. 10 questions each that are really killer.
and today he set an easy one. that i could handle without having to think too hard.
not cos i studied a lot i think.
and it was 5 questions only! he was saying. as long as we turn up. we already scored the other 5 marks! sugoi! amazing!
and he gave tips!
must study hard for the final paper already!

then, a fellow classmate.
funny.
i wonder if it's me who said the wrong thing.
which i presume i didnt.
cos i seriously dont think i said anything nasty!
*crosses my fingers* i hope i didnt.
or it's just guys can experience serious mood swings too.
i end up getting dao.
hmmm. *looks left and right*
i still cant figure out what is wrong.
maybe i really said sthg wrong. did i?
*frowns* i dont think i have such a short-term memory.
but heck la.
shant be bothered.
blehh. think too much i'll kill my brain cells.

someone teach me psychology?
then i can figure out how people's brains work.
then i can know how to solve the mystery's of males and females getting weird at times.
haha.
it's a process of self-discovery too ok?
so any volunteers who care to explain?

before i end this entry.
yes this is super abrupt.
and i received a really sweet sms and email.
i did nothing much.
but i'm glad i was of help.
though i maybe wasnt.
haha.
whatever your decision is. i'll support you k?
jia you jia you jia you!
go girl!

phew. end of spring cleaning.
what a HUGE pile of dust.
hehe.

fool

april fool's day.
this year.
a little quiet for this day.
haha.
surprisingly.

haha.
and i can declare i am no fool.
haha.
only got 2 sms-es abt april's fool stuff.
unless linda's one was meant to be some trick.
then i didnt count that.

one from eric.
which was damn lame and predictable.
haha.
one from chiewlin.
which almost prompted me to call her.
haha.
thankfully i didnt make a fool of myself.
haha.
i finished scrolling the text!
so never call in the end.
haha.

cant really say this is a totally uneventful day.
just that there were quite some stuff unrelated to april fool's.
and i dont really want to talk about it.
not really something happy.
but neither is it that bad.
i'm just glad i handled it well.
in my opinion i did.
for once i realised the position my younger sister used to be in.
you'll nvr really understand a person unless you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
my fav quote from to kill a mockingbird.
nice book.

and of course.
mugging.
didnt do much.
but at least it was sthg.
:)

gonna have to buck up and really do well.
i still feel quite lost.

wasted

of a wasted friday.
dont think i spent my time well today.

got back home from hall.
and was damn tired.
i dozed off on the bus.
dozed off on the train.
and even slept when i got home.

after that tutored.
then started watching anime.
i think i spent so long so long watching anime.
started from 7 and ended at close to 12.
haha. damn crazy.

time to get to studying.

well the only thing i did i guess.
was to make my own dinner.


argh.
exams coming.
time to start studying!

untitled

random post.

got myself a no-class day tmr.
both the classes that i'll be having are cancelled.
one cos my tutor got injured and now has her leg in cast.
one dont know why.
and so it's gonna be a free day.

spent the whole of last night trying to get my project and tutorial done.
which almost drove me crazy.
it just drove me to the wall.
was whining so much.
then again.
what's new?
i always complain.
ah. bad habit to kick.

finally done with my part of the project i guess.
minus the compilation.
supposed to get it done tonight to submit for tmr's class.
but since there isnt any class.
the deadline is extended by yet another week.
this is the first time i ever have my projects due really at the last week of school.

and of course my tutorial.
at least the compulsary one is done.
more tutorials to clear.
those for next week that is.
sickening.
yes i am complaining again.

right now running low of ideas for blogskin design.
so i guess i shall keep it this way for now.
shall start thinking for more ideas when i feel like it i guess.

tonight the lift in hall is down.
so i got a bit of 'work-out' climbing stairs.
if that counts.
i think i've climbed 7 storeys up and down at least thrice for now.
bad construction.
linda was describing how she got stunned by a waterfall sight when the doors of the lift opened this afternoon.
crap.

suddenly.
i got quite a handful of things i feel like doing.
i feel like cooking.
making sthg nice. chocolatey for myself.
i feel like singing.
seems like quite some time since i really sing.
i feel like rotting my day away.
lazy me is getting back into action.
why is it always like that near exams?
i feel like watching tv.
home. i want watch scv.
i want watch some drama.
crappy or not. that's not the issue.

ah whatever. i think my mind's screwed.
so many weird things popping into my mind.
thinking of damn a lot of things.
things i want to do and all.
in a whole state of confusion.
aiya.
crap.
weird zhien.
i should just stop my brain from working.
at least for an hour or two.

ok this entry is damn incoherent.
forget it.

since i was too lazy to last night.
and after a full 8-hr long sleep.
i'm now wide awake enough to write sthg.
haha.

the quiz was.
good.
haha.
i'm so happy i did well.
all the studying didn't go to waste.
:)

and had lunch with ps.
haha.
after postponing it for 2 weeks.
we finally got our chance to hit cant 11 pasta shop.
hehe.
we ate a lot.
haha.
had fun catching up with her.
we talked so much nonsense.

i shall let the pictures do the talking later.
haha.

and i watched this bleach ova.
quite funny.
but yea. it was sthg to make up for the fact that there wasnt an ep last week.
apparently i didnt know the existence of this ova.
cos this was the second one.
hmmm. i wonder what the first is about.
but cool cos hitsugaya made a grand entrance.
which sent me screaming.
and a lot of funny scenes.
:) thank you. i had fun watching!


the pizza we shared.
al fungi.
tastes really good.
the crust is very thin.
not like those you get at pizza hut.
it's very italian.
haha.
thin thin crust that is really crispy.
oolala. hehe. very nice.


we each had one of this.
haha.
and it's not bad.
hehe.
i think i would love al fungi more though.
haha.
just too bad that we had al fungi for the pizza.
we didnt want our lunch too mushroomy.
haha.

a new beginning

shall update a little before i hit the bed.
i think it's high time i really set my bed time earlier.
blehh.

tomorrow gonna have econs quiz.
and i am super duper freaked out.
i seriously hope i do well.
although i feel as if i am not as prepared as i was for the previous quiz.
argh.
stupid me.
think i've been too slack during the weekend.
dozed off whenever i hit the books.
went back home on friday and then tutored. then watched anime. then slept.
after that woke up to study a bit.
then slept again.
woke up on saturday morning wanting to study.
end up watching tv.
then rot around.
tutored. then tried to get to studying.
but was damn slow.
this afternoon went to library to study.
but dozed off initially too.
argh.
came back hall study.
dozed off again.
sthg is very wrong.
but well.
i hope i do well tmr.

shall post some random pictures that i took the past few days.
cant really remember exactly when i took them for some.


wednesday was queuing day.
wanted to queue for angela chang's ntu concert tix but didnt manage to get it.
then went to queue for exam goodie bag.
and this was a pic i took of the queue in front of me while i was waiting.
can guess how freaking bored i was.
that was why i asked my friend about the net-casting method too.


took this on thurs night i think. cant really remember.
but it was a picture of the night sky with sparks.
most probably due to life firing around the area.
how interesting.
like fireworks display.
just not as magnificent.
hehe.
there was more sparks.
but the moment i ran into the room to take my phone and came back.
there was nothing much left.


saw this notebook that ying has on friday.
and i think the words there are lovely.
:)
good taste my girl. how nice. hehe.


and nvr underestimate how bored someone can get while studying for a quiz.
sis shared with me her m&m's and that's what i did to a portion of my share of the m&m's.
i formed my initials. not enough m&m's for my whole name.
maybe i should try when i open my packet of m&m's too.
haha.
this is how narcissistic i can get. haha. i like my name!


and on saturday night.
i got down to making myself cheesy nachos.
and i've got only one comment.
a little too salty.
hehe.
but i still like.

yes i am eating a whole load of junk.
time to work-out.
then again.
linda they all just shared with me how unsafe it is to jog now around school.
eeks.
good excuse for me to give it a miss?
haha.

a new journey,
a new beginning ;)

theory for the week

theory
guys like to chase after girls using the "net-casting method"

what is the "net-casting method"?
putting it in simpler terms.
it is one way of chasing after girls, in which the guy will target more than one girl and chase them simultaneously.
rather similar to that of a fisherman casting his net to get his catch.
whichever fish does not manage to escape would be caught. of course.
one of a schoolmate when asked if he can apply the "net-casting method" to obtain his "good catch" replied "why not?"
interesting.
so guys prefer it that way?
no wonder sometimes people comment that whoever managed to get a good catch.

what is wrong then with the less convenient method?
casting a fishing line and then having a bait just for one fish to be caught. that is.
probability of getting a catch is lower. well. that's a way of putting it in mathematical terms. very logical.
time taken is longer. in economics sense. it's not cost-efficient.

so is there anything wrong with the "net-casting method" then?
can be a possible turn-off should one of your targets end up knowing what you are doing?
maybe.


open to discussion on this topic!
haha.
both guys and girls can throw in your valuable views on this too.
