Lo and behold! I'm going on a hiatus for a week or so, depends on the situation. Term Test is really nearing... But here I am, still lodged in front of the laptop. Tell me about it, I think I'm so fucking screwed up.

Three subjects to focus.

Engine Math

Electrical Services for Facilities

Real Estate Business

Pray that I work hard now and pass these 3 papers with flying colors, so that I can clench that 20% for my G.P.A at the end of the semester.

Please, please discipline yourself. Thanks. Bye.

This is utterly hilarious. I got dragged into a conversation in Twitter by satirists acting as Kuchiki Rukia, Hitsugaya Toshiro and Tia Halibel from the anime Bleach.

We are all in cahoots to make Shiro-chan's life as miserable as possible by, none other than, making fun of his height... And name.

Ice-Skating

I did promised to post something about my first ice-skating experience last month but due to the late upload of photos by a dear friend, I had to delay it. Oopsie, sorry!

Anyways, that was my first time ever going to an ice ring to skate and as a newbie, I fell on my bum 5 freaking times. Thank goodness my ass is not flat, like what most bitches wished for. Practiced a few rounds around the rink and with Candy's help, I managed to skate on my own. I'm inspirational, aren't I? Thanks. Heh!

It was really, really fun but the minus point about it is that the ice rink was nearly packed with people and kids. I was super fearful that I might bump into them and cause them to get hurt.

Here's the day's photos with some of my FYL girls. Enjoy!

Before I had to go off first. At the Stadium MRT platform.

Candy just had to hug me before I leave.

Having light snacks and awesome drinks at Starbucks after ice-skating.

TIRED FACES!

Abby Sonia and me.

Abby and me. AGAIN!

I love our impromptu expression right before the camera snaps.

Snapshots!

Oh yeah, I had real good fun that day. Only now I don't know if I could ice-skate again 'cause my left leg has always been causing problems ever since I twisted the ankle when I was 11 years old. Left ankle has not been healing properly ever since.

       

I think that these two artwork are just so darn pretty. Kinda envious of that artist but she's my friend! How I wish I got the skills and talents like hers. I personally LOVE the one titled Ink.

I'm super duper, ultimately AGAINST animal cruelty. What has the animals done to humans to deserve such tragic deaths...? You skinned those animal alive and abuse them beforehand just to make skin or fur fashion products that is aimed for the high class customers. I thought high class people got the brain to think and empathize but due to some of these ignorant customers, I had to think otherwise about them.

STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!

Before they extinct and the future generation would not have the chance to admire them.

JUST STOP, LIKE SERIOUSLY. FUCK OFF.

Or else you'll be regarded as the worst scums of this world, beside child abusers and spouse abusers.

Great Singapore Sale [GSS]

FUCKYEAH! It's finally GSS, bitches!

Do go out and spend within your own means. Don't be like me, aye!

So, I went to town with family this weekend and it was mind-blowing-ly packed with humans who are prepared to spend their money away. I bought a freaking cheap boyfriend fit chino trousers from UNIQLO at  a discounted price of S$29.90 (U.P. S$49.90), a black dress shirt from Forever 21 and a book. Had to use my ATM card and use of $15 of my $25 left in wallet to pay for all these things... And miraculously, I survived this shopping spree in heels for 12 hours.

Before the shopping spree, family went to F.I.S.H for an expensive lunch, of which it's a courtesy of 2nd brother's treat. Ate heavily like there's no tomorrow - there's starters, salad buffet, main dish and my favorite dessert. Oh yeah, overall, I love the STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE most because it tastes heavenly when it's in the mouth... Guilty as charged, I ate the cheesecake as though I was a small girl - squealing and grinning sheepishly at every bite. Total amount spent for this lunch: S$178.86. Thank you so much, 2nd brother!

After the shopping spree, we went for movie. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is just so nice because I freaking love the mermaid and JACK SPARROW! Such funny, funny character he is. In actuality, I  LOVE ANYTHING RELATED TO FANTASY AND PIRATES. Ahoy, mates!!

Week 4 to 7

How long has it been since I last update - 2 weeks? 3 weeks? Whatever it is, it sure feels so freaking long. I just missed having those free time to type my thoughts here, an alternative platform to spill out whatever thing I've been locking up inside of me. Yes, it's just difficult for me to speak up and talk freely. Okay, let's just say I'm very lazy to talk long-winded stuff. So I'll just type out and whoever wants to read, it's my pleasure. Whoever doesn't want to read, kindly scram :)

The first month in school totally past by like nobody's business. Damn fast, I tell ya! But it's darn stressing too, with the loads and loads of assignments, projects and quizzes. I thought I almost couldn't cope well but thank God I could, with the help of friends and never-ending encouragement from family and friends.

I passed my first Electrical Services for Facilities (ESFAC) lab at my first try since all that we were required to do was complete the 13-A plug. Chicken feet.

And then, there's the Math quiz result. Dammit, I only barely passed it with a shameful 11/20. This just goes to show my undying hatred for that subject. I was convincing myself that I could fall in love with ENG Math, but it's just out of my league. Heh!

Recently, we had to go all-out and complete a month-long Real Estate Business (REBUS) assignment whereby we have to collect 30 real estate articles, write a reflection and find the definition to all the real estate jargons and terms. Super headache task and it's no wonder that because of it, I've been sleeping way past 1am to finish it. At least it's all over now since the due date was 1pm today and I had stayed awake till 4am yesterday, or rather today, to finish up with the printing and pasting. My first time burning the midnight oil till 4am ever since school started though. Tiring? Hell yes. Sleepy now? Not really. My 3 hours of sleep didn't feel like a sleep anyways 'cause it felt more like I was awake throughout the whole night.

Okay, okay, I get it that it's over. And I celebrated the end of this assignment by eating at Pastamania and Frolick with my Poly clique :) Had a good, long laugh.

Week 4: Spamming assignments and meeting deadlines.

Week 5: Cramming last minute study, quizzes, huge REBUS deadline.

Week 6: Attached myself to the notes. Study week before Term Test!

Week 7: First 3 days with 3 Term Test papers only. Luckily~

Tsk. Whoever says Polytechnic is slack, should totally deserve to lick the floor I walk on. Idiots.

The hype of ESC and TPSU election in school is finally over. Results are out, and I hope they take off every damned banners that are littering the walls of the school. Such sore eyes.

I guess this is the end of my first part of updating for tonight.

                          

 I AM MY OWN.

Feel

Marie Digby - Feel

Sometimes, I do feel like giving up on myself, on my life, on everything.

I don't know where my resolve and will to fight on disappeared to. Probably down the drain, but that's not the point. I've been feeling so down lately, all because of school - assignments that are hard to understand and end, projects with the least favorable people and bridging program with a lecture hall full of freaking noisy idiots. It's just so demoralizing and I've not been getting much motivation and encouragement from around me. Yeah, totally different from where I used to come from, a school with so much understanding friends. Now, we're just on our own - to make it or break it. The change in environment is really taking a toll on my sanity, mentality and emotions.

But lo and behold! I'm trying my best to fight on still, just so that I can see another tomorrow each day.

Friends from my previous school have been giving me some words of encouragement though. I don't wish to disappoint them now, do I?

While friends from my current school, well, they're been at least putting a smile on my face each and every day. For that, I'm thankful.

YOSH!!

Time to wear on that positive vibe so I can motivate myself to move forward and fight on!

Happy Mothers' Day (in advance)

There. A picture with our beloved Mommy while we're in the Singapore flyer during her birthday a few years back.

Mothers' Day is nearing. I just gotta make some dedication about my mother here for all that she has done for us even though this dedication is really nothing as compared to all those sacrifices she has done.

I swear my Mommy is the strongest woman I've ever met. She puts up a brave front whenever problems arise and she would then get over them head on.

And then, she would always be there for us even though she's tired from her lousy work and house work.

There's just too many to state about my Mommy here.

The most important thing to know: my Mommy is the most awesome, most loving, most responsible, most strong, most funny, most cuddly woman I've ever met and will ever meet.

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL, MOMMY!!!

and i'm sorry if i ever hurt your feelings or raised my voice at you.

[By the way, I'm crying as I type this post. Gosh, I get all emotional whenever I do these type of things.]

I hope she'll like the soaps I brought from The Body Shop for her.

Heh.

Mommy <3




And oh, to all Mommies out there, HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY in advance, no matter how bad or good of a mother you think you are, as long as you have endured nine long months carrying your child with much love and care, you're qualified to be one.


Thank you to all my friends' Mommies for giving birth to them. Or else I would be friendless and lonely.

Ah, another week of school has passed. The weekends just kicked in but it totally doesn't feel like any proper weekend, when these two days are supposedly the days specially for resting and spending time with your loved ones after a hectic week. Mine will be spent yet again over more work.

Seems like I won't be able to have any time for myself. The whole of Saturday, I've planned to set it aside for Real Estate Business assignments only. The reflection articles and the research. Super headache thinking about this subject. 15 articles MUST be completed by the end of tomorrow while the research, I'm going to do them in the morning. Which means I've to really wake up in the morning and not when the sun is directly above our heads.

*fails*

Also, today's Real Estate three hours lecture is really something. I couldn't remember what was being taught because I couldn't have any lunch and have to live with an empty stomach throughout. Idiot lecturer. Studying about laws and some things about laws on property... Not exactly my cup of tea.

Sunday will be a little bit more hectic. It's Mothers' Day. I really, really want to celebrate it with my beloved Mommy and remember all the sacrifices she has done so far. My Mommy is a strong woman! And I love her with all my heart and soul :)

Okay, so... Sunday, basically I've to carry out my Mothers' Day plans successfully. And then, let's see... Review and prepare for WRTORAL presentation that is due on Monday. Complete ENG Math1 assignments and when there's time, practice more of that Math.

Dang! I don't even know if I got the time to recuperate from my illness. Been a week plus since I've had my blocked nose and sore throat with dry cough.

Sad.

Can't frigging wait for 2nd May 2011, the day where I can finally meet up with my girlfriends as a whole once again. It's a monthly tradition, you see. To hang out and spend time with each other despite our busy schedules.

If anyone were to ask me, I'd say I miss these lovely ladies so freaking much, that I can tear up again when I get separated from them again after tomorrow.

We'll be having a nice lunch at Eighteen Chefs, Simei. And then study our brains out together, of which I'll be spamming them some Engineering Maths questions. Heh!

And then, I'm going to rush off to Tampines Mall to buy some school stuffs, go to the bookstore at Tampines 1 to buy some Real Estate magazines and finally, heading to The Body Shop to buy some things for the upcoming Mother's Day! :)

Hope I have enough money for tomorrow though. I only withdrew $60 today...

Here's a picture of my lovely girlfriends:

     Act like a lady. Think like a boss.

I do want to go to New York City one fine day. And see for myself the city where big dreams come true.

 Without him, somehow, even the rain is colder.

Week 1 in Temasek Polytechnic

It has been, what, about one week since I last updated. Oppsie! Sorry. I've been so busy trying to adapt to the new environment and tertiary education which seems like it's finally taking a toll on my health. Sick for 5 days straight already - sore throat to cough, then blocked nose, fever and headache. Am still sick and doesn't seem like it's going away anytime sooner. Oh, bummer.

I realized that the subjects I take under this course (Integrated Facility Management) is somehow difficult. It's a mixture of both Engineering and Business. I should have known earlier... Sigh. Electrical Services for Facilities is totally learning Physics all over again and Engineering Math, well, it's a whole new level of Math that I should have taken during my Sec school days. Engineering Math is like Add Math, of which I'm seriously and dangerously lagging behind. At least I have two good friends who could help me along the way.

I swear all lectures are boring and waste of time. I prefer tutorials since I can catch up more easily and interact with the teachers with ease, without having another 3 to 4 other classes casting their eyes upon you. Awkward.

Real Estate Business (REBUS) and Engineering Math (ENG Math) lectures are mindfucked boring. But it was compensated with fun tutorials. Same goes for the Electrical Services for Facilities (ESFAC).

I wouldn't say the same for CADS. Both it's lectures and tutorials are mindfucked monotonous and shagged because the same teacher/lecturer teaches both. Mofo. She's an outdated old hag.

WRTORAL and EFFCOM are the best. They're tutorials. And English-based subjects. Totally chicken feet.

Let's talk about my class people a little bit. Hmmm... So far, I'm getting on well with most of them, especially Wawa, Qid and Meredith. I'm glad I met them. They're my laughing, lunch, class buddies.

But... I can't stand some girls. I'm not going to hide it anymore. There's this bimbo-ish clique in my class all thanks to this girl who seems to influence the other 2 girls. Oh my.

I don't care them actually, just that they're always posing problems whenever we're supposed to pay up for lecture notes and tutorial books. These girls really got onto my nerves until it got me thinking, why the fuck was I helping to collect money for the class... Bitches.

Well, it was because I wanted to help Qid. She's the Class Chairman... But she's the one collecting money. See how useless our class Treasurer is? The supposed Treasurer is just another girl I dislike in class, whom I hope I will never be associated with in the future.

Go drown yourself, you materialistic mofo.

I don't even want to trust you if you collect the money for class fund.


Recently, I accomplished something on my own when I'm supposed to do it with my project mates. Idiotic, I know. I was too absorbed doing presentation slides for REBUS until I realized I had actually finished it all by myself. Waiting to do with my project mates seems to be a problem since we all live quite a distance away from each other. So, I'm done with one presentation.

Ciao.
