blogging after my 3rd paper. ONLY!!! only the 3rd and it's friday already and it's 28th april 2006 already. BOO...

haven't been feeling too good throughout this Entire exam period this sem. don't know why also..by right, i oughta be uber excited at the mere thought of gg to the US of A on 5th May.

oh freak, that's like next friday. 1 week.

oh yea, as i was saying, everything is going smoothly, except for the part about remembering what i've studied, but that aside, everything is going smoothly, just that it doesn't feel like anything is. know wat i mean?

this sem i'm just losing steam soooo quickly it's crazy. maybe it's the trip. but i'm not even excited about it, about travellling for 32 hours halfway across the world, without my parents, and being in the states for 3 looooong months before coming back. maybe that's it. --> without my parents..i can do with that. without friends...sob. that's not true technically cos there are friends going just that i do wish so badly that sha was gg too. or if the boy could too, that woulda be perfect. but no, they're not going.

there's just so much to memorise up and down, left and right. sleeping at unearthly hours and waking at equally unearthly hours, but what results show?! the papers i've taken don't feel good, except probably heavenly maths..which i S/U-ed!!! it's no major hoo-haa, but it just feels like that. and both my core mods are on the SAME day next week and i'm positively terrified that all 14 chapters of social psyc will disappear into the blackhole during the exam.

help.

not feeling good and getting into periodic bouts of erm...depression (?) nah..not so serious. just unhappiness. this is not good for me. or for the pple ard me. bet the boy cant figure out what's up (or down) also. pardon me, but i can't either.

sigh. sigh. sigh.

sha is moving home today. no more neighbour :(

think i shall go sleep. maybe it's the lack of sleep...situational attribution instead of dispositional attribution.

BOO.

Kenneth's 20th bday bash @ The Butter Factory on 8th April...last week!

got back almost an hour ago from supper....dim sum!! ck was hungry (Again!!) and wanted to eat porridge, so he drove us (sha me terence) out to chinatown where we settled for dimsum instead of frogleg porridge. we had that the last time with anthony.

dim sum was not bad. we had chicken pao, char-siew pao, siew-mai, har-gao, minced meat congee, chee-cheong-fan, minced meat and water chestnut wrapped in beancurd skin, minced meat wrapped in beancurd skin. yummy!!

looks like the effects of last night's run has worn off. time to go run again.

the boy's been up to his neck with his projects the past 2 weeks or so...bet he's so dead beat worn out, even i feel tired seeing him like that :( dun know how to help him in his work cos his blasted dna and mrna results kinda look like incessant strings of all permutations of the alphabet to me...sec school biology didn't teach that much. all i know is that he's been copying and pasting those strings and strings of letters non-stop!!

kinda miss having the boy around..

meeting the girls tomorrow!!!!! actually it's more of the GIRL. since i meet the other girl practically everyday haha. and there's going to be retail therapy with sha too! we both need to recover from the stresses thus far, before starting again. hope i can find stuff i want tmr!!

it's kenneth's bday bash tmr night --> @ the butter factory! so exciting! haha. but so farrrrr. pics will come later.

the boy's got his friend's 21st at her place tmr evening too. he's the official bartender haha. not sure if he'll be following the bday girl and her guests to party at mos after that, if u feel too tired dear, dont stay out too late k? better get more rest. u NEED it.

once again, he was so sweet tonight. my tests are over and his are far from over, yet he was the one to bring up piping hot infusion tea with honey for me..not the other way round.............

lunch on sunday is soooo gonna be awesome, got it planned out already! been the longest time since mummy chuan and i had a full meal together cos of different commitments...so lunch at goodwood on sunday would be pretty good :) yanjia may be there cos chuan was supposed to dine w her...wonder if the boy would like to go too, but his work pile is not decreasing.....oh well.

over and done with tests this semester. gosh how time flies. it's gonna be reading week soon and exams after that and ohio after that. stats 2 this morning at 10am was manageable but tricky...tricky. that was the first da3-ji1. the 2nd was stats midterm results which the lecturer returned after. not quite so happy with my results, buck up!!! elang test at 12pm was the worst da3-ji1 of the day. it was like the previous one, bad, bad bad.

tests aside, i managed to satisfy my craving for jap fare on wednesday thanks to the boy and ck! felt like having jap since monday and was intending to have some with pa after lessons, unfortunately the 2 restaurants we visited were closed for lunch and pa couldn't tahan any longer so kopitiam it was. might as well have eaten in school then.

the 2 guys detoured back to hall to pick shalynn and i. their initial plan was merely to grab dinner at arts to reward themselves for the past few days' lack of food and sleep just to finish their spider silk project. but after picking us up, they decided that bak-chor-mee at ginza would be more rewarding. haha, who knows, the noodle stall was closed. decided on jap instead.

at Sakuraya Sashimi House at ginza, we had a tempura soba, 2 udons, 1 cold soba, 1 cold-tofu, and a platter of squid/octopus/yellowtail/tuna/salmon/more sashimi. dinner tasted great :)

the boy's so so so stressed this week and will continue to be so till next wednesday (i think) is over. sigh. he's barely sleeping and barely eating and is so totally drained.... :( hang in there dear, it's going to be over soon!!!!!

yet another weekend spent in school, hall rather, studying. 2 tests next week. on the same day. elang right after stats. eww.

woke up late on sat cos i slept at 6am!! the boy cooked noodles for brunch, black pepper flavour, yum! thought i could have dinner with mummy BUT...she was car-less cos her car was supposed to be scraped yesterday -_- and cabbing up and down would hike up ridiculous fees. so there, no dinner w mummy. called pa to see if he'd finished golfing. he had, but couldn't make it for dnr cos he had to entertain 2 guests -_- he offered to pick me up after he finished dinner but....but.....i wasn't planning to go home!

so there, no family to eat with, cos everyone just cant make it :( didn't have the mood to walk all the way out w ant for dinner so ter packed dinner back for me. was expecting tze-char or something like that, that's what people usually pack for meals isn't it?!

the boy returned with penne with meat pieces and mushrooms in cream sauce. yummy! thanks dear! pa dropped by w fruits and officially visited my room. he din say nothing bout the pics and stuff. wonder whether he even knows. haha.

woke up early today to continue reading elang. it gets dry after a while. kept falling asleep while reading. how totally unproductive. can conclude that i'm not a morning person when studying. the brain doesnt seem to wake up till after noon. at least.

studied the entire morning and didn't eat cos i just didn't feel like going to find food. sounds like some primitive species. close to 3pm, the boy surprised me by bring in a bag of food, his parents packed some lunch from dong hai and dropped by at hall. there was rice with taiwan sausages and meat, egg-tarts that are totally delicious, and char-siew pastry buns that really do taste good.

stuffed my head with elang the rest of the afternoon and evening and night. we skipped dinner, didn't feel like eating again. mummy just scolded me for skipping meals... had 'dinner' at 9pm - 2 egg tarts and the boy ate up the last char-siew bun. the boy brought up a little green tupperware of his version of so-called agar-agar which really isn't that at all - chilled bird's nest that his mum boiled at home.

always feel so well-fed with u dear...thanks :)

talk about being well-fed, sha came back to hall from home all armed with food rations, looking like she was going to war. haha. goodness girl!!

hell week has just started for the boy, he's got 4 tests and 1 project due next week. (this week rather). cant do anything to help him also, seeing how he's so stressed out that S.T.R.E.S.S is just printed all over his face and how he's eating sooo little. poor boy...

T0-Check List:
Statistics 2 Project Report CHECK!!
Changing Landscapes Essay CHECK!!

Statistics Test NOT YET...
Elang Test NOT YET...

finally able to check stats project and landscapes essay off the list. for good. woo hoo! essay started late, my fault i know....and i shd haf finished it before succumbing to the bed last night, save for the fact that my eyes couldn't even stay open for 1 paragraph of words....

that's how i woke up late, turned up late for stats lect at 10am, barely stayed awake or understood elang lecture (as usual), continued writing landscapes essay at 230pm, edited essay till 4pm, settled references for the essay with ivan, and submitted my essay 20 minutes LATE!!!

freakkkkkkkk!!!! just have this foreboding feel that the essay is going to be penalised because it wasn't handed in on time. ARGH. well, no matter what, IVAN-->you were a good partner to work with for the essay, so sorry i was so slow!!

felt like hearing mummy's voice after the ordeal of the day (or week rather), so i called her on the bus back to hall. almost went for dinner with her except that she would be lazy to send me back to school after that, so we cancelled dinner. maybe tmr :)

couldn't resist the lure of the nice comfy bed when i dropped by at ter's room. his green/white bedsheet with leaves only made the bed look even more comfortable for a good sleep. so i slept. from 545pm to 1030pm. totally skipped dinner. couldn't wake up. haha...

went out for dinner/supper with the quintet. ck drove us to bukit timah where we had such a feast!! here's what sat on our table:

nasi goreng with sambal mushrooms
tom yam soup (yum!)
cheese prata
plain prata
onion egg prata
mee goreng
sambal mee goreng
satay
north indian chicken pieces
teh cino ice
milo dinosaur
milo t-rex

totally felt like bursting after leaving the place. still feel like exploding actually. sigh, late night suppers, high in cholesterol, calories, fats, carbohydrates. need i say more?! UNHEALTHY!!! tasted good though.

caught ice -age 2 yesterday with ter, sha and ck at lido after we had indonesian fare at paragon's tambuah mas. food was not bad, movie was funny and so cute!!

it's a mere 5 weeks to 5th may 2005 = 5 weeks to USA!! woo hoo! but at the same time, i feel kinda sad already. i wun be seeing mummy chuan sha bing ter and so many pple for 3 months. boooooo. i foresee that packing would be a humongous problem for me. wat to bring, what not to, which bag to pack, cold weather? i wouldnt want to be wearin the same clothes every week. sigh.

till then, it's pia-ing and alot of coffee and late nights for the exams!
