updates!

6th day into my internship.

I'm sorry for not keeping you friends updated about whats happening... hahah.. but like as i have told some of you.. i'm being buried under work.. thats why you cant see me..

well, the first day of work went pretty fine.. was tasked work even though i'm supposedly a freshie. and, i do think that i have a cursed life. besides meeting bastards (try asking me about tt guy) and rude people on the phone (who thinks they are everything), i also have the tendency to do thing 'at the right timing'. elaboration: i started work right in the week where there is the peranakan museum's 1st anniversary. though i had to work over the weekend, i feel fortunate. it was really an enjoyable event, coupled with fantastic colleagues whom i have lunch together and chat with everyday.

and yes. its the 6th day. the first event was over. now, i have to brace myself to help out in the programs for heritagefest.

i gained some insights though i have just started work. an events company is really more professional. the company can actually undertake a national wide event with only 7 employees. on the other hand, for the school projects which i have been involved in, we usually recruit so many people who only make matters worse. quality trumps quanity. really.

my internship might seem sucky due to the long duration and flexible working hours (literally). I still firmly believe that...it will be a lot better than most people due to the organizaional nature of the company. there is no strict protocals and colleagues really joke with one another.

i guess i have a lot more to learn!

my summer

heh heh. 3rd post of the day. all because i'm trying to escape from the clutches of MPW. 

this evening, while i was talking to kevin on msn, he randomly said that he my summer sucks and he wouldn't want my summer. 

and his words got stuck in my head throughout my bus journey home. 

and so. i don't know why. but my summer really seems overwhelmingly busy. here is a list of my commitments during summer (in no particular order). 

1) Floorball trainings (Monday and Thursday night)

2) Floorball Exco matters (floorball retreat, discuss plans etc)

3) Uni-Y FOC (Programs, Games)

4) Citibank-Youth For Causes Comp

5) INTERNSHIP (22nd April -15th August)

And this is not an exhaustive list, if you consider the number of ad hoc things i've got to complete in between, like SLC and working OT etc.. 

And last night while i was trying to coax myself to sleep, i was actually thinking of picking up KOREAN and THAI. 

I guess this is me trying to make up for one semester of slackness. As i have told some of my friends, i was so overworked in year 1 and year 2 sem 1 that i feel that i should take a break in year 2 sem 2, and not take up much more than i can handle. haha.. and now i'm letting myself repeat the cycle. what a joke.

my greatest hope now is to be able to carry out all these commitments to the best of my abilities and not let anyone down. I hope to be able to enjoy my internship and may i have great colleagues to last me through the approx. 17 weeks. 

i also hope to be able to spend time with my friends, cause i know i will miss them.

argh. i hate to affirm kevin's words. 

but, i know my summer seems sucky. but i'm willing to carry all things through and make it the best, most fulfilling summer ever. (though this is only my 2nd summer) hahah!

lastly, to all my friends who are still sourcing for internship, all the best and you still have time to find the right one!

my life's motto

this is gonna be my life's motto. 

It might sound simple or cliche or whatever it is to you, but it bears a lot of significance to me:

i will give my best shot or nothing at all.

on another note, its torturous to study for MPW. the text don't make much sense. And given that ive already thrown 3% of my MPW grade out of the window, i guess i just have to hang on and study hard for the paper. zzz.

i will trade MPW for IEA readings willingly. 

give up on sleeping early

argh. i can't seem to make myself fall asleep before 5am.. zzzz.. i give up.

end of BOF

oh god, i just finished watching BOF. AND OH MY, it was a super dreamy happy ending. I LIKE IT. (just as i like all chick flicks!) 

haha.. at the end of the 25th episode, i lamented. why did i took so long to reach here. tsk tsk. if i can spare the time, i'm gonna rewatch this serial again cause the guys in there are freakin' cute/handsome/perfect. ok. they have been through cosmetic surgery. haha! but... nah..... lol

KOREAN BOYS KOREAN BOYS

oh. pulling myself back into reality, today's IEA and CB papers went pretty well. gonna start studying for MPW tonight already! GO GO! let the happiness within me from watching BOF last till me till the end of the exams! 

treasure life

things usually have to happen before one will learn how to treasure life. 

with the onset of exam stress, i couldnt really give other things much thought. my only purpose in life now seems to be to study for all my exams. and even by doing so, i know that i can't guarantee good results for myself. 

while fate can guarantee so much more. 

the passing of my neighbour who seemed so healthy in the past came too sudden. leaving behind his wife and 2 young kids, i'm sure that he must have lamented. it really must have been tough for him. 

haiz. life is short. treasure what youve got

addictions

woke up late again today though i told myself that i will wake up early. haha.. loser me! 

flipping through the never ending chapters of IEA, i realised that i have so much more to complete before Monday. that leaves me with only 2 more days left to revise CB and IEA in full. 

HAiz, and i have to fight my addiction to BOF. I realized that if i can restrict my desire to watch hot korean dudes, then i can spend 2 hrs plus more every night on IEA or CB, and perhaps complete one or two more chapters. silly me. But, i shall still continue watching for its my only motivation and incentives. And now that i'm already at the 20th episode (out of 25), i wonder how i will live should the serial end. hahah! i'm a couch potato. 

If need be, i shall stay up tonight and come earlier to school tml. Afterall, i have began to find joy in reading through the IEA and CB text. Wish me all the best dude. 

AHAAH.. and i didn't know that today is Good Friday. 

Looking forward to summer's happenings. 

zero productivity

My productivity in the past two days was almost zero. Oh god, how could i have wasted time given the amount of work i have to revise! 

haiz. 

got a shit load of stuff to clear. Seriously. 

sleep later wake up earlier! 

i'm a salmon

hehe.. this is a quiz which sinyi posted on her blog. she is a goose. same as kevin!

AHAHA...

and i'm....

Your Animal is the Salmon

You are both clever and wise. You are a keen observer, and you tend to notice everything. You have amazing reasoning skills, and you grasp difficult concepts. You are an abstract thinker. You seek wisdom in its many forms. You are interested in art, literature, history, philosophy, and science. You are driven to make your own mark on the world. You put your creativity and brilliance to work. I think it might be true in certain ways.. hahah!

in the midst of studying

its tuesday... and if i don't come to school tml, 

the next time i will be back in school will be thurs. I'm curious how much i would have achieved by then. 

its good to study in school, to have my own large amount of space, as opposed to what i have at home. I'm still contemplating whether i should come to school tml. and if i do, i should be here early, since firstly, the seats are taken up at an astonishing rate, and i need to leave early cause its dad's birthday dinner. 

argh. damn sleepy. it certainly doesn't help that i'm studying IEA now. you know how boring it is. 

never mind. summer is coming. i shall put up with all these. 

i'm afraid to fail.

Thank You!

I sincerely thank everyone from the bottom for the votes. 

I seriously didn't expect myself to assume this position given the other capable people who are running for this position. What a close shave it has been for me!

For those who have been encouraging me, I really don't know how to express my thanks other than the repeated thank yous and thank yous. 

Since i have been elected into office, I trust myself to live up to expectations and i'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead. It will be a chance for me to discover more about myself, pick up new skills, and achieve my aims and vision for the club.

One year later, I hope i have achievements to recap together with the club and my exco. 

Till then.

what a long day

i better blog before i forget everything. 

i'm proud of myself. for surviving on 2.5 hrs of sleep to last me till now. seriously, i'm not drop dead tired. I just felt that today was a 'supremoly' long day. To recall what had happened this morning will be like recalling what happened two days again. lol. 

and so, i attended my last BP class today. wanted to make it a point to be early, but failed terribly. haha. only managed to arrive at 8.40am. but yeah. this is quite a feat considering that i had only 2.5hrs of interrupted sleep. And i didn't feel like dozing off at all! ;) 

thereafter, i went to woodlands for a meeting with the manager of the project bridge centre whom we are partnering for the youth for causes competition. all went well and hopefully my group will be able to rush things out by Saturday.

reached school, slacked a while and went for the floorball exco meeting.what could probably be the last meeting for the 9th executive committee. oh ya, forgot to highlight that toren was really funny. i think i can laugh the whole day just by observing her. toren, you can just go act in gossip girl. 

met cass, tina, sandy and jimmy for a movie: Confessions of a Shopaholic. I forgot when was the last time i managed to watch a movie. But yeah, the movie was quite funny and me and cass were actually speculating about erm...hem.. hahah.. ultimate shit stirrers. 

oh ya, sandy wanted to show off her cooking skills so she decided to meet her friends and cook supper (pasta) at this hour. so tina and i accompanied her (nice friends right ;) ) to the nearest 24hrs grocery store. The MEGA MUSTAFA. this place never fail to amuse me. hah. tina and i spotted mutton's lungs. and FRESH COCKLESS. haahah.. it was a spelling error. There were big bags of bloody looking cockles, and all of them were printed with: FRESH COCKLESS. SUPER FUNNY.. haha.. nana wanted to take a picture.. but we decided to be nice. lol.

and on the way out of the carpark, i spotted this advertisement: WILD OAT WITH HORNY GOAT WEED. can someone explain what this means? it is supposed to be a mens' supplement. but wth, HORNY GOAT WEED. HAHAHA..

And so now i'm home, stole  my sister's cup noodles. and happily slurping away. oh. forgot to mention that i finally mustered the courage to email my internship company!

april fool

thanks kevin and yanda for pulling off a prank on me. huh.

i vaguely recalled that the last time i was conned officially on April Fool's day was like hmm.... 12 years ago? hahaah.. don't really remember what happened. but the boys in school liked to play pranks and since theres a day dedicated specially to pranksters, why not? haha..

and so, kevin and yanda decided to invade my laptop while i wasn't around, and in the end, they got my account locked since they can't fathom my password in the end. ahaha! its actually quite funny when you imagine how hard they tried to decode....

and so, now i can't access my email or anything other website that requires my school password.

anyway, i think i really have problems. i really remember seeing bus 80 at the bus stop today. once i boarded the bus, i sensed something wrong immediately as the driver doesn't look familiar. I decided to ignore it and continued the bus journey until the bus took a turn at some place suddenly. that really forced me to disembark. haha.. and take a taxi instead. something is wrong with my eye sight. haiz. gotta be more careful.

seriously. i still have no idea what bus i boarded.

btw, the taxi uncle was very nice to me.. hope he will be blessed. haha.. cause he gave me a discount of $0.85, which is very siginificant in this economic recession period.
