i found you : motivation!
today was my ca2 for biochem... i did really badly for the first one.. so i really had to make sure i dun fail this test... the thought of how much was at stake just pushed me to study. the whole thursday spent in the library was worth it. i felt really happy studying.. it was just me, my music and my notes... great combination. the feeling of successfully memorizing the information.. aww.. i love it. felt great after today's test too.. not because i am so sure i did well... (if i did well, i think the rest of the ppl wld have done well too).. but i was certain that i did my best. and that's all that matters. definitely no regrets. an episode of sweeeeet drama at the end of it is a good way to reward myself. and then take advantage of this newly found motivation and start on my final exams revision....i've got to start picking up speed.. wont wanna be left behind :) may this joy of studying last forever and ever :D  simple pleasures in life : eating strawberry ice cream :):):) Pure coincidence : Rainbow colours
woots.. more tw dramas coming up..
i haven watched tw idol dramas for a very long time already... was super excited when channel u said it was gonna show momo love :) haha..there are so many hot guys in the show.. oh and it was adapted frm a japanese manga.. so i had high expectations of it.. but the first episode was a bit disappointing. the pace of the show was very slow.. hopefully it gets better as the story progresses...  Tao Hua Xiao Mei is adapted from Japan's best selling manga Tao Hua Mei Mei. The plot is about Tao Hua who has been pampered and loved by 4 of her brothers almost to the extend of sister brotherly love. Thus the other brothers ask the 5th brother, Yu Yi to look after the sister, and with the appearance of prince charming Shi Lang, a love battle is created among everybody. as i was reading an article on momo love, i came across another drama.. which has better ratings than momo love. so i decided to check out an intro video of it... this drama seems to be a lot more interesting. woots!!!!!  Ren Guang Xi, a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He’s the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Chen, the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Chen does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Chen teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery which causes him to lose his memory. His mother begs Mu Chen to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Little does she know that she already has Guang Xi’s child. Six years pass. Mu Chen lives a quiet life with her young son in the countryside while Guang Xi is now a successful lawyer and is engaged to He Yi Qian, the kind and beautiful doctor who took care of him after his surgery. A strangely familiar piano piece stirs Guang Xi’s heart as he struggles to recall his past romance with Mu Chen. How will the couple make up for six years of lost time? Happiness, which stop will I alight at? check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voo-80Vefnc there's another drama(hai3 pai4 tian2 xin1) coming up which is by show luo and rainie yang. hope it's good :D haha.. after exams i'm gonna chiong all these 3 dramas :D :D :D I AM SO EXCITED!!! habits
feeling a bit sad due to the fact that 意難忘 has officially ended on friday. it was a 872 episodes long taiwanese drama... => many old folks love it.and unfortunately, i happen to be one of the many 'old folks' haha.. i think watching that show almost every afternoon(provided i am at home) at 4.30pm has become a habit of mine... the show has been going on for at least 2 years in singapore.. depicting the lives of 3 generations of the family..... the more u watch it, the more u will like it... haha.. it sort of became a part of my life.. thats kind of scary... mugging with friends esp with esf is something i really missed... because it has also become a habit... right now, i have no mugging partners... no ideal mugging spot. which means that the rate of mugging is not at its optimal.. :( i often fantasize abt having a ideal mugging partner... haha.. mugging tgt at an ideal mugging spot.. and then the two of us will just mug really hard tgt and only stop during mealtimes.. when we take a break, we can chat with each other.. and that both of us will be super motivated by each other... testing each other abt the concepts... and finally both of us will do very well for our exams :D that sounds really great... but i guess its a really weird fantasy right? lol :D recently there was an article on yahoo abt facebook addiction.. ppl are getting hooked onto it without even realizing that they have become fb addicts. thats sounds really scary too.. i bet i am already a minor fb addict.. feels weird if i never use fb at least once a day... are u a fb addict too???!!!?? there's just so little time but so many things to do... i think i need to limit myself to half an hour of online entertainment a day... at this rate, i'll never be able to finish my revision in time for exams. got to chiong!!!! ooh.. and recently more and more ppl ard me are taking their driving exams... and passing it :) haha thats great.. more ppl can drive me ard... lol :D i'm hoping to meet up with friends even though i have very little time.. i think its better if we meet over breakfast or lunch... *kills two birds with one stone. p.s.: jia you and gd luck for ur revision :) monday AGAIN
i am still feeling slightly sore abt the fact that almost everyone doesnt have to go to sch today because it is deepavali off in lieu monday. all pri sch to jc students.. and ntu students and smu students... are at home today. for the adults, they get an extra day of leave.. for nus students, we get nothing. we go to sch as usual... and i was in sch frm 7.30am to 6pm... why is it so unfair!!!just read on shang fei's blog that her midterm exams just finished... this is so weird.. nus midterms ended many weeks ago... we already had quite a few assignments...(xw just did 2 assignments?!?!) and i have CA2 next week.. oh and reading week in 4 wks time... final exams right after that... this is insane... why is nus moving so fast.. ?! why are things so diff in the two schs? just because ntu is more deserted? nonsense man... i'm gg nuts. -.- since our pace is faster, does it mean our exams end earlier => which means our holidays are longer? when are the final exams for ntu students? when is ur reading wk? when are ur eoy holidays?
family day at pulau ubin :)
decided to join my family for a cycling trip at pulau ubin. all my siblings have finished their exams except me. everyone at home is thinking of where to go.. what to do.. it's super tempting to join them.. have no mood to study at all.. i need to move house!!!!!! live in solitude!!!!anyway, i drove to changi village today. super long drive... but i felt great :) today we tried out the ketam mountain biking trail... the whole thing... there are different levels of difficulty... we tried all of them.. cycled around the whole ketam quarry. the easiest level is already challenging enough... super narrow and rocky paths.. the other levels are just crazy.. impossible to cycle.. unless u want to fall to ur death... super steep upslopes and downslopes... for the harder levels, we just pushed our bikes... but pushing our bikes requires more effort ... super tiring.. the bike seems to weigh a tonne... we spent the whole morning under the hot sun, cycling, pushing the bike... swatting mozzies(there were many of them)...oh and the lunch at pulau ubin was really yummy.. maybe it's partly because we are starving... i must say that it was a really great experience. definitely worth going again.. Who wants to go?!?! haha :D i am aching all over... i think i gripped the handlebars to tightly.. lol :D  this is before the biking trail... haha.. thats why the path is super wide :)  this is the easiest level...  this is the easiest level too... (no photos for the harder levels.. because we r too tired to take any.. busy pushing our bikes.. lol)  love this photo :) taken at a rest point overlooking the ketam quarry  rest point overlooking sea :) got to rest. dead tired now. tired but happy :D there goes my weekend. where is my deepavali off in lieu when i need it?
claire's theory: mid sem crisis
i am currently facing mid sem crisis now... feeling so blur and confused as if this was my first day at sch.. just because i didnt check ivle for the past few days... the topics covered are ?!?! plus... i have to deal with the release of the mid term results... the shock of it....?!?!?! and i have to constantly remind myself that there is only about a month left before final sem exams....!!!!??!?!!?!?!?! and time passes so fast... i wake up everyday regretting about the decisions i made the day before (like sleeping at 12am instead of 1am... if not i wld have finish more work...) my problems and worries just keep snowballing... ????!?!?!?!? i'm dead right? when i was in jc/sec, i wld be leaping with joy when i got 75% for a test. right now, i'm not sure if that feeling's appropriate.. when everyone else is getting 90%. it seems harder to be contented with what u achieve when u grow older... -_- p.s: i'm sure that when i wake up tmr morning, i will regret that i spend time blogging last night. i could have started on my webcasts... i need some HOPE to keep me going :) rush against time
sushi buffet photos :)  taken in the toilet :) i love the big mirror^^ i must be the blurrest person on earth. i nearly missed my lab today... thank goodness my friend smsed me abt it... i cant believe i just chiong finish a lab report... yucks man. i hate doing them... just gotten back my econs mid term results. haiz... i have no idea whether to be happy or not... i think it's quite sucky. is being average good enough? its back to sch again after recess week and e learning week... the pace is getting faster and faster.. i'm not even ready for the next of the half sem... i really need to catch up.. falling behind is just dreadful. ok great, it's 12.09am now and my stomach is growling real LOUDLY. how am i going to sleep later? :X today's lab was anesthetizing drosophila flies and examining them under the microscope. thats real cool.. i think the best part is that there wont be any lab reports to write... muahaha :D i still have a tonnes of online lectures to view.. i guess the bad part abt elearning week is that procrastinators like me will end up spamming all videos at one time or viewing online lectures at wee hours... how effective can that be? i'm gonna have panda eyes real soon...on the way to becoming coffee addict... with all these late nights and growling stomach... and stress.. why am i not losing weight?!!!? bleah. i'm not gaining either.. so that's a consolation. my eyes are really closing already. off to dreamland...zzzzzz.... catching up with friends....
met up with lari, pat, shermin and jieying for sushi bueffet at icon village on thurs. the place was rather quiet during dinner time.. so the food we had was freshly prepared... not those found on the conveyor belts. it was great to share stories/ gossips with each other... the food was good... esp the cold sashimi...and my fav takoyaki :) ooh.. and of course the 3 complimentary mochi ice cream:Doh and then today, grace, waikit, merv, lizhen and i went to sing k at teo heng. it was cheaper than usual, only $4.80 per person.. and they had installed touch screens for song selection. super cool. i could just be contented with playing with the screen... for dinner, we met shuwei.. and ate at a eatery that lz recommended. the chicken cutlet and fish and chips are cheap and delicious... the price is affordable too... definitely worth going if i am in bugis area.. haha.. after dinner, wk, merv, grace and i went to play pool... haven played pool for a very long time... as usual... whoever that teamed up with me will lose.. haha...only when grace and i were a team, her good luck managed to overcome my unluckiness in pool... haha.. tasted victory since a very long time...but that didnt last.. coz the next game we lost... in a most unexpected way.. haiz... on the whole, it was great catching up with everyone... haha... :D p.s. : i really hope that the night cycling on 4th dec will work out. hopefully nothing crops up. *crosses fingers time for a really really really short break
my mid term exams are finally over. i really hope i did well. during the studying period, i realized that the foolproof plan to fall asleep within seconds is to read your notes while lying on your bed. no matter how awake u r due to the xth number of coffee u drank in the day, u will still fall asleep immediately. tried and tested. it always makes me wake up with regret. i'm gonna rest for the night... haha.. most probably playing farmville...it's really scary how mid term exams can wear me out. i wonder what will become of me when i have to mug for my year end exams. i really have to put in a lot more effort.. and prepare a lot earlier.. haha.. work has already begun to pile up, with bio lab report and gem assignment to finish over the weekend.. not to mention the number of webcasts i have yet to view. this weekend sounds dreadful. the topics that will be covered in the next half of the sem will be harder... now i think i really need a lot of good luck to help me pull through. :X well i guess there's a dinner to look forward to :) sushi buffet with pat, lari, shermomo, and jieying. hanging out with them always my worries disappear (even if it is just momentarily) muahaha.. sushi buffet here i come!!!!!! who cares about the calories.!!! shall deal with them later :D worst day of my life
today just sucs big time. this is the first time i took an exam, feeling super unprepared. after taking the exam, all i can say is that i am 100 percent sure that i failed the exam. the feeling of regret and disappointment gets worse when u leave the hall with everyone around telling you that the test was easy or that they could have gotten full marks if not for a single mistake. i must say that the test is easy. definitely passable. but my mind just totally blanked out during the exam.stuff that i rmbed wasnt tested. those that i couldnt rmb came out. do u get the feeling?! that frustration can just make me slap myself on my face or go bang my head on the wall!!!i wanted to crack open my skull to see if there's anything up there. URGH!!! hate that feeling. totally dreadful. T_T i wanted to be left alone... probably hide in some corner of the sch to reflect. but there is no such place in nus. would have gone to the nj crest if i was back in nj campus.thank goodness pat asked me to lunch with her. she practised measuring my blood pressure. she taught me how to do it too.. it was so cool.. to be able to hear my own heartbeat using a stethoscope.. haha.. right now i can help someone take bp too using the traditional equipment, not the electronic one..  these are the bp measuring equipment used :D delivered to pat via fedex  pat attempts to measure my bp. it was kindof hard to measure coz my pulse is very weak. too much fats under the skin i think. :X  yay! nice shot!  try to act like a med student.... haha.. haha.. after taking blood pressure, we decided to go chill out at starbucks... the relaxing music at starbucks and the great companion i had really took my worries off my mind. i felt a lot better after i meet up with pat. Thanks pat :D if it wasnt for u, i wld be so emo the whole day. i guess its time to move on, but i promised i will put in a lot more effort to conquer u in the next exam: disgusting biochem!!!!! RA!!!! (*shows biochem my muscles* haha) ok.. maybe today isnt the worse day of my life... and so the day is saved... thanks to PAT :D HAPPY CHILDREN DAY!!!
 i miss the carefree days of my childhood.... 我不想我不想不想长大....... |
