I swear never to attempt 8am lessons for the next few semesters unless I have absolutely no choice.

8am lessons are a killer, be it I stay overnight in school or travel from home. If I travel from home, I'll have to wake up at 6am to arrive to school on time. If I stay overnight in school, will probably be up late coz there's a tendency for uni students not to sleep before 3am. *sigh*

Conclusion: 8am lessons are torturous. And to have them in two consecutive days, both psychology. One lecture, one tutorial. *died*

I'm dead tired. I forsee the next time I'll be really free will be the 2 weeks studying break I'll get before my exams, and of course after my exams (ie. December holidays). Its really funny how I can keep going during busy times but when it comes to a break, I'll become a nua piece of lard on the couch/bed. Do I go on like this till next year?

Not that I'm saying school is totally horrible for me. No it isn't, I enjoy it, but I realise the sacrifices I've got to make. My social life isn't that wonderful now..I've become more withdrawn, more anti-social; I no longer have the usual ease of starting up conversations with strangers. There seem to be no common topics to discuss since I feel like some mountain tortoise who has just came down to the foot of the mountain for a visit.

Oh, and I passed my psychology quiz! 25/50. Like...wow. Hah.

Classified Classcs

In a for-sale column: "Puppies, $20. Mother regular sheltie. Father sly small black unethical under-the-fence-digging dog."

In an employee newspaper: "Double sleeping bag - used only once. Will trade for crib."

In a lost-and-found listing: "LOST - Small, brown hamster. Children don't care. Cat is heartbroken."

In a for-sale column: "Perfect diamond wedding set. Only flaw is the creep who gave it to me."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Its Friday. My mum flew off to Bangkok this afternoon. She'll be back on Sunday. Shucks.
My mum's out of Singapore and I still can't wreck havoc. Still busy with projects, training, and club stuff.
*double sigh*

Life sucks.
Oh well, at least today was good. Met up with Suzanne, Christina, Amanda Z and Sueann for lunch at BizAd canteen...mmmm....great time..then went to Sheares Hall to slack at Suzanne's room. Sheares is super nice, very very nice environment, nice rooms, nice corridors nice everything...just that..it is too damn far from Arts Fac and the rest of the school. *sigh* Had a great time catching up =) Yay!

Its the last official day of term break, and I realised I haven't done much but catch up on much needed sleep. Slept probably more than half my break away. Oh, I watched one webcast lecture too. (yeah, like that would have helped.) *mutters*

Don't feel any regrets despite sleeping so much because I know I was almost burnt out before the break arrived.

Wednesday morning at 1.20am was hell for me.
Never felt so disappointed in my whole life.
Never felt so "betrayed" before.
To think that I was the last to know, although the decision involved me.
YOU may as well not approve of that final design I produced if you wanted something else.
So much time wasted. 2 entire weeks.
All down the drain.
Unless I insist on showcasing it in future.
I wouldn't thank anybody, but one, who stayed up even later than me to help in the design. Thank you brother.
No one else.

Wednesday morning was a mixture of fury, rage, bitterness, disappointment, hurt all channeled into tears. But its all over..the deal is settled, the designs are up and ready for printing. The cash will be paid, the namecards will come. Hurt overriden by glee upon the purchasing of my Toshiba A100 notebook.

And now I am configuring it.
What a feeling. I love it.
*grin*

Living with an eye infection in the left eye now. Stuck with spectacles for 2 whole weeks and eyedrops that sting like crazy and leave a bitter taste at the back of my throat when i apply them to my eye. *sigh*

I seem to have the habit of visiting hospitals, its the 2nd time in one month..I sure hope my life doesn't plunge any further down..its really depressing waiting in the hospital. Even if you're not really sick, looking at the patients there make you feel sick.

Haven't had time to upload photos from Sports Ball, most people dressed up..it was really great! The girls looked especially good with gothic makeup and all..will do it soon once term break starts. Past week has been pretty hectic, datelines to meet, printers to call up, logo design, floorball trainings (and I still can't shoot), tests, reports to write, tutorials to complete.

Mum has upgraded from "Can you please study more?" to "Eh don't work so hard can, please go sleep now." Miss her pretty much since university started..haven't got to spend proper time with her. Missed her cooking alot..missed talking rubbish with her...missed shopping with her..its times like this when I really miss doing things with my mum, which make me appreciate the times I spent with her despite her nagging and scolding and everything. At least now I can feel deep down inside she cares for me, though she isn't able to do anything to help me, she's still there for me.

Its been an eventful month for me. Busy with everything, accidents occuring to me, been down and out and I'm back up again..learning new stuff, juggling time, handling stress...Just like that, I'm approaching the end of the th week in NUS.

I am taking down the flooble chatterbox for obvious reasons.

You win, and I lose. Simple as that.

Friends, I apologise once more.

Goodbye.

Dear readers,

I sincerely apologise for the lack of tagging space on my blog. I am sorry if I am unable to read your comments because they've got "flushed out" since I have reduced the number of lines to be shown in the flooble chatterbox. My sincere apologies.

Also, I'll like to make a point, my past entry may be harsh, but please rest assured it was targetted to Mr/Ms Anonymous - as they will like to call themselves - who have recently visited me once or twice. I once more apologise for any misunderstanding caused.

Meanwhile, circumstances call for me to take a break from blogging..partly due to the amount of school work and other commitments that I have. Till then, friends. Take care.

Something made me want a laptop after seeing Joann's one today. Toshiba, glossy white, sleek. I am so tempted to get one!

Settling down into a routine in NUS. I'm really glad I chose to take part in so many activities - can't imagine if I were to go to school plainly for lectures/tutorials and head straight home after that. Thank God for floorball and Sports Club. At least, floorball has kept me from nua-ing too much..I'm not aggressive enough in marking a person though, the seniors said I'm giving my opponents too much freedom and space. They kept harping on my aggressiveness, or rather, the lack of it. *sigh* I ought to have some of this in my own life as well. =)

So far its been fine, school work and all. Readings are fine, I understand what I'm doing most of the time..time is in my hands. Realised how sheltered I have been throughout from primary school all the way to junior college - the teachers to the admin work for you, teachers feed you with the necessary information which you have to score in major examinations, teachers inform and remind (and nag if necessary) you of the upcoming datelines to watch out for..all we have to do as students is to watch the rules, do our homework, and sit for examinations. University life is so different in a sense, you have to do everything yourself - watch yourself. Independent work is a must. It has placed a considerable distance between me and my friends, considering most of my close friends have gone to NTU/SMU, the rest in NUS take different modules from what I am currently taking. The school is so big, the timetable is so varied, chances are, I'll never see them around school, and even if I do, its only for a short "hi" and "bye" thing because everyone is rushing everywhere else to attend their classes.

Thank God for the group of friends I have found in NUS, despite knowing each other for only a short while. Yet the chemistry among us was so good, it doesn't matter anymore. But rest assured, old friends aren't forgotten. Time just doesn't permit too much interation between us, but you all do hold a special place in my heart. A place gained through lovely memories that we all shared together. =)
