Last paper yesterday! \(^o^)/

After a long 2 weeks, my exams are finally over. It feels like a long and drawn out battle fought, and one that I struggled through. \(^o^)/ But till my results are sent to my house on 22/12, let's forget about studies for a while and enjoy myself till then =p, and hopefully, I will be in the mood to enjoy and celebrate my birthday after my results are out =x I don't expect to do very well though. but... Hello friends, Hello dates, hello shopping, hello life! ^^

This marks the end of 1 semester in NUS, and the beginning of holidays. =) It's been 3 long months, with lots of new and interesting friends being made. And that summary of my 3 months of university life shall be summarised later.

I went 3 newly opened shopping malls today: Iluma at Bugis, Ion at Orchard and 313 at sommerset =) The lights at Orchard are so pretty... And the christmas tree outside Ion is humongous... =) Go inside the christmas tree... Yepx, inside the christmas tree.. The lights inside are reflected by crystals hanging from the top of the christmas tree =) And of course, I couldn't resist camwhoring and whipping out my phone to take pictures of such beautiful lights... The crystals look like meteriods in a galaxy of stars, formed by the reflected lights. =) Hahax... A word of warning though, it's brighter than it looks. =) Be prepared to be blinded the first time you step inside =p


And... I loveee Otaku House at Iluma. I managed to find a keychain I have been searching for since last month =) And I finally found it, at Otaku House ^^ Hahax.. And just today, I passed by 4/5 precious thoughts, went into 3 arcades, one at suntec, bugis and one at ilumna. =) We also went into a few outlets of action city and minitoons... XD Hahahx... And.. There;s a very interesting store in Iluma for gifts =D Super interesting items sold. They scream "personality". For example, there's a father's day magnet that reads "Do I look like a bank?" LOLX. And... many more... Hahax.. They make a good idea for a christmas present =p


Oh yes, V8 cafe is not bad. You should try their signature dish. =p There's great ambience too... And the price is reasonable, with $13+ a meal, together with drinks and side dishes. One of my soon to be favourite hang out =)



For now, I need SLEEP! Yes, I need that so so much. Otherwise I will hyperventilate. And that is bad. Because it's freaky uncomfortable, and I feel faint if I don't take deep enough breathes... =x So... Till next time =)

I just made a surprising revelation, that there are people reading my blog! =D Hahax.. People who I didn't expect to know about this place comes and visit it. ^^ Please tag alright, my dear readers. Just say hi there so that I have more motivation to write more updates on my life... =)

The end is near...

Just 1 last paper to go, on Electrical Engineering and I will be done. Holidays are near.... I can almost smell it. So many things to do... =) First and foremost, I need my sleep. Lots of it. then after, let's see, my much awaited outing with Wenhui, SH and fadz, lunch/ dinner with Faith... =), Htht with Hui Li, Biz Club outing (I missed yesterday's one because I can't make it. =( , Nevermind, let's meet sometime soon kay? =D ), clique outing with Hui Li, QH, Jeremy and Jon! Hahahx... And Qh, I want my souvenior =p, Yesh and not forgetting, Iceman outing(I know that our next outing will be veryyy interesting... =p) + SRJC first 3 months outing (if I feel like organising =p) and.... Yan, Rachel, Jie Ying, Andrew, Jansen, Yuan Ing, Chubbs, Zhi Wei, Jason, Tan Li, Zai Yi, Mu Jung, Matthias, Jie Wei, and Jared( I hope I don't miss out any! And gosh, it's such a big group of people....AHahahhax) Let's shorten the list to the usual group of people kay? =D ...Let's go for a movie and dinner after our last paper! And of course, my holiday plans include going to the beach, cycling, and doing many random things together. =) Yay...\(^o^)/ Hahahx.. So many things to look forward too =) After I survive my eg1008 paper first. Mamum and dipti, give us a good present just before the holidays pleaseeeee..... Thanks. There, I said my thanks. So give it to us okay? =D

How nostalgic. While surfing facebook today, I just realised that my secondary school teacher, Mr Alvin Ang got married! Hahax. ^^ Congrats! =D You look so happy. =) May your marriage and happiness last.... =) Have fun buying funitures for your new house, planning for your honeymoon and doing many things together. =) (Though I doubt that Mr Ang will ever seeing this...) Hahax... I just realised how quickly 2 years flew past me, past the promos that I was worrying about 2 years ago, past the A levels I was worrying about last year and this year, the mid terms and soon to be over finals... And just ever other year, I have been giving myself excuses that since I had exams to worry about, I never went back to lyss and this year, jc. I should try to make time and go back next year ^^

What's more surprising is that today, I received a message from a senior encouraging me. Thanks ^^ Yupx, Engineering is definitely not an easy exam major. At least not for me. =X Jia you for your paper tomorrow too ^^ And tag when you read my blog hoh.

This few days have been an emotional rollar coaster. I'm sorry if my mood took a turn for a worse and I lashed out at you guys. =X It's just the stress affecting me, and more of lack of sleep. Pardon me for the many questions I bothered you guys with you. Hahax... And thanks yan, for being sooo patient with me for GEM. hahax Looks like I need to take lessons on emotional control, for all the sane and practical reasons. =X I really want to give up sometimes, but I just remembered my motivation for working hard, and more so, the many reasons I cannot fail. =X

Next semester will be much more packed, with 5 core modules, an additional core module from this semester. Apparently, my cousin told me that 5 modules is the norm. With an additional gem or breath elective. Yuck =( Someone once said, life's like an icy tower, you got to keep jumping so that you don't fall. Plus, you never know when you are gonna fall... And so, I'm gonna keep jumping. Like a spring, the harder you push me, the more potential energy I will have. =p And... I applied for PGP next semester. I hope I get it. Soooo exciting. Yan and rach, you guys must come over for HTHT okay, though it will be a little cramped. Same goes for Hui Li and faith.... AHahhaax... I smell my freedom =p


Before that, it's back to studies =p

One paper down... 4 more to go. I feel very lucky, very loved and pampered these few months. =) especially when my exam schedule and seat numbers are being checked for me before hand, when I get a massage everytime I experience backache, when there is the operation force "Qitong" to sleep and all the group study together plus the fun and laughter(especially hijacking other people's facebook account =p) ...Not forgetting  my mum's food when I get home =p And these keeps me going.

Even though the day started out horribly getting owned by the papers,it ended rather well. For me at least.

Physics was never my cup of tea. I walked out of the exam hall, knowing full well that this module will be placed on my S/U list, that is, if I pass... Otherwise, I would have to void this module and retake it next semester. This screws up my entire timetable. Seriously. And both options would use up my void / SUs. And I now know the consequences of screwing up mid term. This means my finals are probably gonna need more work. And if you screw your finals too, your CAP is screwed. It's a vicious cycle. especially since your cap is cumulative. Who said university is more lax than A levels? That's so not true. Not at all. Yuck. Quitting school seems like a good option then, and I can try to enroll again next year. Sigh.. The world is so bleak. I feel like a loser after pysics paper. Got owned by the rotational motion, osciallations and proving of entropy.

I've long grown weary of mugging so hard for a paper. What's the point of slogging away so hard for a piece of paper at the end, for that darn grade? There's more to life no? Someone commented that we go to school to learn new things, but I learnt that I'm quite dumb. =x and sometimes, I really feels like giving up.

Thank you for waiting with me for my bus and coming out just to spend some time with me and hearing me rant today =) Not that I ranted a lot =p I have more motivation to study now =)

Geraldine is brimming with happiness... Overflowing with it. everyday. =) for so many reasons....

And when Geraldine is happy, she shares the love too.. with lesser pms and more smiles =p She also becomes very sociable. hahax...

- I've been holding back tears lesser and lesser because the times I feel like crying has been decreasing exponentially. With peeps like Yi Yan, Rachel, Andrew, Jansen and Yuan Ing and gang, I feel so loved now. I'm not alone anymore. I have you guys =) I need to cut back on my social activities though...-

... Sometimes I doubt and question....


Especially when you had a difficult day with your driving instructor and you feel as if he's screwing your driving on intention.

Yay, I finally met Hui Li after such a long time. It's been months since we saw each other I guess? Maybe I should try the emotional blackmail by making her feel guilty more. =p

We caught up, in lots of things. We chatted and laugh. =) And just like that, it seemed like the months we didn't meet didn't exist at all. ^^ Hahax, Hui Li is such a good listener as usual and she talked more about her stuff today eh? =p

It ended off in a bad note though, when we started talking about our class and our classmates. Those days... I would never want to relieve the experience again. I can't seem to forgive, much less forget. But I don't want to forget, not a single memory of it. All the mean people, mean experiences... I never want to forget the lessons I learnt from these experience. Painful ones. Overall, it made me a stronger person and make me realise how lucky I am right now.

Super, duper, uber lucky.

Hahax. I have friends right now, friends who really care. =) They are those whom I hold no qualms about whining and ranting about my days, my anger, my sadness my uneasiness and most of all, my happiness. My listening ears. And I'm all ears for them too. Yi Yan, Rachel, Jansen, Andrew and Yuan Ing. Things are different now. And I started off with a good first impression this time. =) Hahax.. Btw, operation force "qitong" to sleep made me feel really loved. =D

So what has been going on in my life right now? Admist the catching up on studies, we have our fun life too.

From the albums of school daries...

Labels: University School Daries

University has made me a frequent visitor to a networking site I used to loathe. That I thought were frequented by teens with too much free time on their hand. NOT. More like the procrastination bug attacking them. And now, I realised the fun in facebooking. Basically, it's place to scream out your daily life for the world to see, like what I'm doing now. A net collection of funny and amazing great youtube videos. And basically, games (not that I play and want to start getting hooked onto).

All this time eaters swallow our time up as the kapo-side (tell me a better word!) of us access facebook to see our friend's update on their life. Then again, I guess you could tell how much of a "life" I'm having right now. A really boring and monotonous life, studying. Ironically, I enjoy the company of friends while studying and I fear that I may be too reliant on friends sometimes. At the end of the day, the exam is ours to take alone. With about only a month left, I fear I may never find enough time to study. I should seriously do some focused mugging. I've tried, from trying to stay up late to studying in school. All of which turned out to be futile attempt at Trying to study. Sigh...

Work is insane. I am going out of my sanity region.... Let's start debugging the error that's wrong.

Yesterday, out of a whim, Tan Li, Jansen and I decided to walk to Clementi Mrt from NUS. Surprisingly, it wasn't that far away. Hahax.. Maybe because we were talking and laughing(mainly laughing at me =x) while walking. Hahax.. It was really random, but randomness is good from time to time. =) Since I was feeling a little rich, having collected $200 overall from what friends owed me from BBQ and presents, I knew that once I bank in the money, it will be locked into the vault while I can help it. =p Out of my caprice again, Jansen and I went for a random shopping at city link to get that bag I had been eyeing on in Charles & Keith. So that's 2 random events that have broke the monotony of my life so far. =) And coming up would be planning the engin camp and Oweek for the upcoming camp. New friends and new activities to do. =) A bonus would be being in the events sub-committe in Political Association. I need a life!

So, those were the 2 things that broke the monotony of my life. I gathered that the recent overthinking on my part are due to lacking of a social life to the point that it became depressing for me. =( It's too tiring to keep guessing what others would think. Still, I've been wondering whether it's okay... drifting about struglling trying to graduate. Then again, I remembered the reason for choosing engineering, namely electrical engineering. This gave me a bout of energy and motivation to study. Yes, study or rather, learn. I have to remind myself time and time again that these 3/4 golden years of my life hould not be wasted away. And recently, I have my mind on too many things that should be shelved for the time being. =x I need to start working towards my goal. Jia You Geraldine. I know I wouldn't want to regret having my studies affected because I had my mind all over the place. Studies first! =D Networking later...

Speaking of which, my vocabulary and proficiency in English is dropping. That's bad! *panics and runs to hit the publish button*
