On a side note, I finally sneaked out for half an hour today to buy a new mouse! Like, FINALLY! I've been surviving without a mouse for almost 2 weeks and it's so sad to return home to no nice mousie to use! =X
And i'm so proud of my new loot..
I have a PINK mouse now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pinkie waves happily to her new friends!*
YAY! My lappie is 100% Fujitsu now! Hahahaa...

Darn the GP, it better be worth it!
I'm feeling all unsettled over my GP (aka FYP)! =(
There's so much stuff to be done, and I can't ignore the work waiting for me for my other modules either! So i'm trying to push back my GP until my other work gets done, so that I can concentrate proper on my GP and chiong until I die. Coz it's almost a zero probability doing other work only after i'm done with my GP, coz by then i'll be 1/2 dead already, and won't bother chionging until I die! -.-
Anyways, it's still very disturbing! I can hardly concentrate on my other work! There's a nagging voice inside my head that keeps telling me, "why are you not doing your GP!??"
Shucks like shucking shucks man!!
Because of GP, I slept like 3 hours only for 3 consecutive days (Miss See claims that she has been sleeping for 2-4hours only for what, 3 weeks?? *salutes her!*). I'm ageing and my body can't take it! If i hadn't slept for 9 hours last night to pay my sleep debt, I would have seriously fallen sick already! o_O
I am SO not going to succumb to that voice man! I don't want my other modules to die! HELPPPPPPPP!!!
Stupid GP, better be worth all this nonsense! *rawrrr*

*FOCUS!!!* español!!

A day in life!
It's one of those days in life where everything goes smoothly if you don't look at the big picture.
- lesson was boring, until 2.5 hours later a friend doing the presentation made THE ultimate reply of the year to the prof, and I finally got entertained for the last 1/2 hour.
- ethics approval for GP (aka FYP) wasfinallyFINALLY signed and approved.
- RP also approved less than an hour later by a very nice successor of M, who's also called M.
- the person whom I ordered masks from delivered the masks right to my doorstep!
- a very nice friend by the name of qiqi offered to collect masks for us so we don't need to pay the eye-boggling postage fee!
- several nice friends agreed to participate in my very mafan study!
And when we zoom out to the very BIG picture...
- clinical's report due on thursday and i'm only half done.
- spanish test's on thursday as well, which i haven't studied for, and makes me wanna freak out, coz i always study for my language tests wayyy beforehand.
- there's another report due next monday, which i know nuts about what to write.
- i'm supposed to prepare my spanish oral story by next monday as well.
- and there's another report due next next monday.
- GP study looks like it's gonna take up zzz.. hours of my hectic-enough life.
- spanish listening test next next tuesday.
- spanish oral next next thursday.
Moral of the story? Don't be too far-sighted. Be grateful for the little things in your daily life :) It's not as easy as you think to come across an entirely smooth sailing day! =)

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
Thought this was very meaningful! =)
***
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans… She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ’ Tell me what you see’.
‘Carrots, eggs, and coffee,’ she replied…
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.. the mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, ‘What does it mean, mother?’
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, how ever. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
‘Which are you?’ she asked her daughter. ‘When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

=) My evolutionary basis for loving coffee!! Hahaha..

The Shan + Rozz Show: EP9 - The Boomz Girl
I've decided to take back whatever i've defended her for.
She is so totally SHING-Z.
o_O
But come to think of it, I still feel a bit sad for her. She's only 19. The sort of age people can be still quite immature and think or say stupid stuff. I mean, we've been there done that, and looked back and felt stupid about something we did when we were younger. But at least all who knows that are your family and/or maybe close friends.
If I think about a few stupid things i've done previously, and imagine them being broadcasted on TV last time. I think I'll be so dui and embarrassed like shit now.
But if she still goes to meet her mother-in-law in that 10 years down the road, then I really have nothing to say...

OverBOOMZ-ed!
[Pictures taken from omy.sg]
I'm not exactly a fan of her, neither do I deny having laughed at the joke when I first saw it, but....
Don't you think we should just cut her some slack?
As the clichéd goes, "All humans err". And as Ting (2009) goes "Pageant queens are humans too". If any other Tom, Dick or Harry had said BOOMZ on national tv, would you have laughed at it for months? No, people will just "HAHA. DOTS!!", and move on with their lives. Albeit falling short of expectations of a beauty queen, it's over, and... TIME TO MOVE ON, no??
For goodness sake! All that criticism about her, and then you turn around and make a joke out of her! Does that make you a better person than what you've criticised her about?
Why don't YOU go infront of national tv as well, and see for yourself what smartass sentences you can come up with without even stuttering!
*rolls eyes*
What is wrong with Singaporeans man!

I wanna be a schoolgirl forever!
How many more boring, sleepy, unbearable lessons to the final step out of that exam hall?
How many cups of coffee and packets of food left to keep you awake and full through endless lessons and project meetings?
How many more times getting away by laughing off a mistake or stutter during a presentation?
How many more hours of being sandwiched between people (or smelly monsters) at the bus stops and on the bus?
How many more hours of sleep sacrificed to get that assignment done and get to the school early with my cushion beside me?
How many more mad, laughing, giggly days to the gloomy turbulent world out there?

Happy 22nd Birthday, Hueyhui! =)
Link to photo album:
http://picasaweb.google.com/sotongting/HueyhuiS22ndBirthdayMSWaraku?feat=directlink
Hueyhui's birthday celebration @ MS Waraku on Friday.. haha.
The very failed attempt to surprise her. Poor Jiaying tried so hard, only to be spoiled by many people. Tsk tsk!
You will also see the result of Julyn, resident cakecutter and photographer, not turning up for gatherings:
1) Mango cake flipped 180degrees to become chocolate cake.
2) No group photos; only shots of the birthday girl.
3) No food photos either.
4) Delayed uploads, and none on Facebook.
Hahaha..
Happy belated birthday, fairy godmother!! =)

The Killing.
The Boyfriend ordered a chicken chop and I ordered a grilled fish. I started looking around while we waited for the food. I noticed the halal sign, and...
Me: Hey the stall is halal leh. Actually what's the difference between halal chicken and the non-halal chicken ar? I heard they perform some ritual before they kill the chicken is it?
The BF: No la, it's just the way they slaughter the chicken. They'll slit the throat and just let the blood drip until it dies lor.
Me: *winces* errrr, okayyyy. Eh, abit weird to be discussing how the chicken we'll be eating later died leh. *pauses* Eh, actually it's ok lah! You're the one eating chicken ma, i'm eating fish!! Hahahaaa *grins happily*
The BF: Oh, you know how the fish is killed or not, even more cruel leh!!
Me: Huh?? Er, no, I don't want to know, don't tell me now...
The BF: No, you must listen. It's really very cruel...
Me: .....
The BF: They drowned the fish to death...
????

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ok, the most difficult presentation i've ever had in my entire uni life is finally OVER!!! We were supposed to conduct a 3-hour lesson lah. Oh my tian~ THANK GOODNESS it went well.. we spent duno how many donkey years ironing it out again and again, and she rejected like 90% of the original content we were going to present lor. So ridiculous!! But I think she kind of liked our presentation today, though I didn't really like the unpsychly content covered... Haha.
Moral of the story: Always present what your prof likes best!
Lol.
And this is the very deceiving photo that i'm so gonna keep as a momento! Hahaa we had our meetings at RAFFLES HOSPITAL coz somebody went there to be participant for some clinical study~ Lol. It's my first time having group discussions at the hospital! =X ANyways, this was taken by cy (jul's bf) while he was sitting across us waiting for her i think.. I told jul that he must have taken the photo while we were finishing the discussion already, that's why everybody was smiling so happily.. hahaha. coz i don't remember being un-distressed at all throughout the entire preparation for the presentation~ hahaha.
And Raffles Hospital Coffee Bean closes at 8pm! o_O that's why we got scolded by security for having our meeting at the hospital lobby =X hahaha
ANYWAYS, I am so SO uber glad the presentation is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Such a huge relief~ I almost feel that my exams are over already or something.. Keep having that feeling that I'm supposed to come home and slack already! =X
***
For most of us, life often passes peacefully, with a few project deadlines here to rush and a few mild quarrels with our loved ones there. But perhaps we have taken this peacefulness for granted. There are just so many more people out there who has been shaken again and again by cruelly unfortunate events/crises in their lives. For every busily-peaceful day that pass us by, we should perhaps give thanks; be thankful that there is still a certain sense of control you yield over certain happenings. Coz I can assure you, once that sense of control is gone, your life gets shaken like hell and you're gonna take forever to seek it back.

I heard a very ancient song on radio while having dinner!! I think I used to love it alot but forgot about it after not hearing it for very long.. heh. It's so sweeeeet!!! :)
我能想到最浪漫的事 就是和你一起慢慢变老...

Blah.
Genting was a good getaway despite the uninteresting things and unappetizing food available. At least the company was great, I think I virtually went abroad with a walking camera and a walking book. Lol.
I had the worse nightmare(s) ever awaiting my return though.
I can only say, I hope when things are bad enough, there's no room to spiral down somemore.
Alas, experience tells otherwise.
***
Prevention is better than cure? I think prevention is the hardest and cure is the virtually impossible. There are things you should actively prevent from happening, yet when everything is in a state of homeostasis, you don't feel the need to do something to prevent it from happening. Yet by the time it strikes you, it's too late to even cure it.
***
I wonder how long I am away from my next holidays~
Bah!
This is the most sleep-deprieved holidays i've ever had in my entire life! I'm sleeping even lesser than when there's school! x_x I think no amount of masks is gonna help me~ Hahaha.
Anyways, Happy Mooncake Day!! =)
*hops back to work*
