TOC is tmr. yay! can't wait for it to come and be over! ^_^

23

Just turned 23 on the 23rd. Feeling pretty old...It wasn't very long ago when I first studied in Singapore; it wasn't very long ago that I graduated from RI and RJ; it seems like I just ORDed last month and started uni life last week and the 2nd semester, yesterday...time, unrelenting, unforgiving, ever-changing...this year, I have only one birthday wish and only those who are close know...

the maid, JuJu, is leaving today as her contract expires. Yani has come to replace her. I'm not really bothered as long as she takes good care of my grandma and does the household chores properly.

on a lighter note, Li Xuan and I spent a day in town yesterday. I asked for a water bottle on my birthday and the sweetie customized one for me =)

at...guess where?

That's all for now, back to work...

Feb

tomorrow marks the end of the Chinese New Year (a.k.a. 元宵节) a pity I didn't get to visit some relatives this year. so generally, it's been a pretty lackluster Chinese New Year. mid Feb, there's a day when guys scream and girls grin -- the overhyped and commercialized Valentine's Day. even though everyone knows that (even the girls), it is still imperative for couple to celebrate it together, exchange gifts(or it may be one-way) with sweet kisses and heart-warming cuddles. because it is Valentine's Day.

this weekend is very very short. I left school at 8am on Saturday and soon, in 2 hours' time, I'll be on my way back to school again (it's just 24 hrs after I got home). the NTU TaeKwonDo Open is really taking up a hell lot of time and draining most of my energy. being behind in lecture is nothing new, but this sem, I feel really stupid. like dumbass/retarded stupid. for instance, I can't concentrate in lecture and understand the notes at even the 2nd or 3rd go. I hope TOC will end well and end soon, I hope it'll be worth my time and effort, I wish I'd never joined...

talk about school work, I was reading lecture 3 notes last night (lecture 5 was over already). I spent 2 hrs reading the notes carefully and looked into every detail to understand everything. I thought I've got it, but I couldn't even do the online quizzes. this is so demoralizing. but i shall presist...many assignments will be due this week (week 6). and many are bracing for the onslaughts of deadlines. like CGL said, "push on yeah"

I'm going to leave home in about an hour's time...grrr
