ranting

it has been one week since the last post.

yesterday aka, tuesday, i had one full day of lesson. and i mean one FULL day.

I was in school since 830am for my FT make up class, then i went on for my CAT lesson at 12pm. At 3.30pm, i went for my MA make up quiz which lasted 1.5h. Thereafter, i went for my marketing class at 515pm till 645pm.

Pretty long eh. But somehow, i survived it despite having a mere 2 hrs of sleep the night before.

Well, i can be the new iron woman with this kinda practice everyday. Woohoo!

while on the train to school on tuesday morning, i overheard an interesting conversation between an American and an Australian. I always know that its rude to eavesdrop, but they were chatting so loudly that it will be impossible to shield their voices.

Anyway, just wanted to say that they made me jealous when they described how carefree their lives back in their home country were, as compared to Singapore. The American lady, who happens to be Ohio, also described how her mum does not have a passport and doesnt even need to have one since one can enjoy everything in Ohio, and wont ever dream of leaving the place.

How heavenly it will be if i can share the same sentiments as her except that mine is in Singapore's context.

in times when school is driving everyone mad and almost everyone dreads school term, listening to their conversation can only make one drool and daydream.

clear waters and a fine sandy beach. how about that?

mummy mummy

Mummy Mummy wont you look at me
My whining and wailing muted since
Motherly love never reaches me
Oh, how I crave for it

Mummy Mummy wont you talk to me
Not only scoldings and beatings please
Other mothers don’t seem to hit
Till their beloved child weep

Mummy Mummy, now I take my leave
Constant pain and stress just ain't for me
I don't hope for a parting kiss
Just take care of yourself dearie

Standing here i start to think
what the past twelve years meant to me
Devoid of love and soothing words
I seek all these in Eden world

when tomorrow never comes

During the past few days, my usual 'night songs' have taken a change for good.


i'm recently addicted to Show Luo's 'Corner with love'. ok.. it does sound cheesy and lame, but the tune of the song seems to get into me and makes me feel relaxed. i don't know why.


anyway, a thought just came to my mind. if tomorrow never comes, what will you do. How will you feel? Its just like going to bed at night, and alas, one never wakes up again.


to answer my own random question, i will say that i will feel a certain tinge of regret for making the people who love and care for him feel sad for me. however, my principle in life is to live everyday to the fullest. hence, i won't really feel any regret for events that already happened, but maybe, for things that i will never have a chance to do.


sounds weird. but who cares?


anyway, the above statement just brings me to my point about living everyday to the fullest. i know this is a boring statement. but it has become a practice for me. thats the reason why im straightforward, i just don't want to have any regrets about not telling something to someone.


(*prays that no one from my ISP team reads this)

i've heard comments from my participants that i'm giving them too much pressure. I agree that i gave them pressure, but its certainly not too much. I'm sorry, but i'm a virgo. I set rather high standards for work. i don't wish to elaborate much here, but i just feel that its positive pressure, we can't deliver shabby work no matter who our target audience are.


ok.. i know my blog is boring. so i shall end off with some photos. RANDOM photos.

sometimes i wonder

its the time of the night.

and here i am to blog. to escape. to run away from the massive workload.

hell week seems to have brought forward to week 10 of school. But, this also signals the ending of school term. YAY.

bidding is going to start again in 2 weeks' time, and how i hate BOSS. currently, i only have 4 mods in mind. Whats going to be the 5th mod? should i take one under the marketing major? maybe i should eh.. ok.. will think about it when im more sane. but anyway, i hate BOSS to the core.. i hate inflationof prices. i dislike having to look for bidding partners, especially when i plan to take 'unique' majors. lol.

ok.. i promised to keep my friends posted about my recce trip, but i decided that i shouldnt update anything here lest top secret info leaks out. and boom, there will be no element of surprise for my OCIP team.

just note that it will be fun. and the work to be planned beforehand is massive.

MASSIVE.

Besides having to prepare gifts, plan for activities, prepare logistics, etc etc, there are also a lot of backstage administrative work that Roy and i have to handle. Luckily, this is the only time where i intend to lead a trip. Lead one good one, and i do think that im pretty done with the leadership roles. I will take a step back and relac one corner after this.

oh, no relac, should concentrate more on studies!


anyway, that day during MA meeting, stef and yanda were talking about this website where we can add special effects to our photos. eg.,

Orginal Photo

i think stef will read my humble blog someday and will leave some weird comments again. In order to pre-empt her, i shall say thanks to her in advance for recommending such a fantastic website eh. lol...

anyway, i attended 1/3 if a standard first aid course today. I find myself quite awkward when performing the CPR. Maybe its because the dummy is not a real human being and is kinda dirty.
(Shifts the blame). I met this girl who is 23 years old and is a current first year student in NYP, in occupational therapy. Well, im kinda amazed at her courage to have a career conversion. She was a graduate with a degree in business, but felt that the business world isnt an arena where she can fit in, and accounting work is mundance(which i cant agree more with), and now she is doing a diploma. I must say great work girl. At least she is really happy where she is now. Unlike me.

She asked me how i feel about SMU, and guess i told her the same truth that i told everyone. Despite the many complaints about the MASSIVE workload, i have never regretted my decision. I know i will be better off here then in bigger unis. I simply love SMU and my friends.
