The first day 

of being unemployed. I woke up with a flu. You know, the typical phlegmy throat, runny nose. *must be virus from Jason* Thou shall not still near sick people again. Unfetted, I went for my long overdue swim. It was good and I really enjoyed it. And my new swimsuit fits. so, yayeee~

Anyway, the pool was pretty crowded today with men. Men men and more men. Who are mostly there for sun tanning. Has it become a national habit for men here? Oh, well, they like to stand at the edge of the pool and block my way. TSK.

Then I took 922 the new feeder bus. Which everyone knows why it appeared so suddenly in our neighbourhood. Andthe route was not very well planned I must say. They should have a stop at the CC.

I went to the library to borrow some books. Reading one of George Orwell's order books, Let the *dunowat* fly. I can't remember how to spell the word la..

I have yet to look for a job. I thought I should go and take a resume photo first. So I will find a job once I have a resume photo, and written a resume. hur hur..

I am sick now. I think I should recover by Sunday. Thou shall never sit near sick people.

Troubled times.. 

This is not a good day. For starters, I did not accomplish what I set out to do today. But compared to what my other friends and classmates went through, it is really, nothing.

One of my classmates missed an exam. Which is like so ridiculous can.. Anyway, I do not know him well lah, just heard it from Shawn, another classmate of mine.

And then a dear friend of mine got into a bigger trouble, which I will not elaborate. Just hope everything will be cleared by tomorrow. I really hope that there will be a better outcome.

I was reading XX's blog and I wonder if she just trying to be controversial. Anyway, I shall also not elaborate on that. And ANYWAY, I was wondering is it her or are all poly students like that? *disclaimer: I am not saying they are intellectually less able* I mean, this morning I was taking the bus with a truckload full of NGEE ANN poly students. And the bus was VERY crowded. Think school just reopened or something. So there was this old couple who boarded the bus at Pending, Bukit Panjang. No one gave up their seats. And then a lady in her 30's gave up her seat to the old lady. The poly boy beside her simply didn't budge. THEN, the most amazing thing is that this girl rather let her BADMINTON RACQUET and plastic bag have a seat, during peak hours where the bus is literally packed like sardines can, than to let the poor old man sit. *I was standing by the way*. I mean, the old man was so tired that he had to lean on the pole eventually. This is seriously not the first time I saw NGEE ANN poly students ignoring the needs of the elderly. Ok, maybe I am bias. Maybe all school kids are as insensitive, but just that I take 184 so I am more exposed to the poly students. Fine.

See, whenever I rant about things like that, I must understand that we are not perfect. I am not perfect either. Sometimes I do not take the initiatives to give up my seat, but most of the times, I do. And seeing these people don't have this basic courtesy bothers me. ALOT. I wonder and wonder why they act the way they did. And silly things like that get me agitated. And I was telling Momo, I can write a book on irritating habits of singaporeans on public transport. He said that could be my thesis. hur hur.

Oh well, CS (2nd last) paper tomorrow. I shall go and revise my notes now and dedicate another post on irritating habits of singaporeans on public transport, with videos and pictures. HUR HUR.

It could only mean 1 thing.. 

Do you realise there's this strange phenomenon going on around you? Or maybe it's just me, but many many many of my friends are getting hitched. Like I've gotten 3 wedding invites since Novermeber last year. And I know of another 2 brides who got hitched last year, and another going-to-be. I mean, that's like a total of 6 brides I know caaaan. I mean, like woah..

So anyway, I conclude that we should be moving on to the next phase in our lives *ie. stop foooling around anymore*. WE ARE GETTING OLD!!!!! *sigh* This is kind of sad isn't it? Well, at least I think it's sad.

And another thing, you hear about your friends' parents being hospitalized more often. I guess it's part of the growing up package.. You know, you grow up, your parents get old and they fall sick. Yep, so do take care of yourselves and you poppa and momma yeah? Do you think it is scary that you know, they will ultimately leave us one day? I thought about it when I first lost my paternal grandpa when I was like.. 8. *see, so mature* Anyway, people live and they die. So do I. I just wish that my parents live well and die blissfully la. *I am not cursing them horrr*

I have 3 papers next week. Unlike previous semesters, I am no longer camping in the school library. I mean it's the final lap and I really don't see the need to do that lah. So my schedule these days is usually like 10am to maybe 6pm the latest. Oh well, in case you are thinking why am I writing so incoherently, well.. I AM BLEEDING AGAIN. Yep. So I am not quite sure if what I am tryping makes sense. OH WELL, whateverrr...

By the way, my commencement is on the 10th July at 8 pm. WAKAOS. Why is it 8 pm??! And my momma was saying, how come everytime I see people in the pictures all day time one, why yours is at night? erm.. I told her if she wants, she could go at around 5 plus, the sky is still bright and take 'daytime' photos lah.

Yiling is not going for her commencement. SHe is going to work and travel in US on the 10th may till october. How nice it is to be rich..

WEeEEeEeeE~ 

It's been EXTREMELY hot these days, with EXTREMELY terrible showers in the afternoon or evenings. Is the world coming to an end soon? Well, if the Almighty one decides that Singapore should just sink and join the rest of the ocean, PLEASE DO IT BEFORE NEXT MONDAY. So I do not have to study anymore. But if He can't make the decision fast enough, please make it after 11th July, when I've at least taken a picture in graduation gown, you know.

Anyway, it'a my silly cousin's birthday. HAPPY 20TH berfday SUE LI~~~ Hope you find a nice, rich husband~ Well, I don't think that's her priority, but it's mine, and I don't care, everyone shall wish for the same thing..

Today a mother hurled vulgarities at the bus driver on 184. Both in English and Hokkien, ask in SonofaBeep and KnnCcb, you know in full. Because the bus driver closed the door on her kid. Which seriously is not quite his fault. Cos that stupid kid refused to get down and the mother was trying to drag him down. So you see, the mother pushed the stupid boy in front, so she is walking behind him. Then by the time at the staircase, she decided to walk in front of him by squeezing past him and alight and try to pull him down. So if the bus driver can't see the boy, he would assume that the boy had gotten off since his momma had gotten off and his momma was behind him. RIght? So yah.. And so he kena a string of not very nice vocabularies lah..

I mean, why couldn't the mother just carry that stupid spoilt brat when she was just holding a small lil' plastic bag. Why must she waste everyone's time by slowly dragging that stupid moronic kid down the bus? Just carry him down and stop being such a lazy swine lah... And at that time, there were many school children on the bus. I personally think that was very inappropriate. I hate it when people say things in anger without considering the consequences. And I am trying very hard to refrain from that. I'm not perfect but I try.

So anyway, this non-chinese mother reminded me of the swimming pool incident some time back, when the mother who tried to cut queue insiste she was correct. And she also used the same language, in front of her daugthers. I mean, is this what your daughters are going to be in future? I feel sorry for you.. And coincidentally, they are of the same race~ *I m not racist, I am just saying, such coincidence* Seriously, how you live your life is going to influence your children some way. Think about it la huh..

Anyway, I don't know why, but I've been adding the words "you know" at the end of my sentences. I realised it when I was giving tuition just now. I hope this habit will not last long cos' it can get quite irritating..

Oh well, time to sleep. I hope to finish my 1533 revision tomorrow.

Momo^*goosfraba.. Ops muggerthon! Yahoo! ..I settled for Razer! says:
NUS is no feeling one

Perhaps it's good that bestest does not feel the same way I do.

But indeed, these four years had been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. So much been lost, and so much gained. I lost my health, my confidence, myself and HIM; I lost the greatest part of me. But at the same time, I gained so many wonderful friends, who made this four years worthwhile. I learnt that how unscrupulous girls can be in getting what they want. I should've known. Afterall, we all know the female of the species is deadlier than the man, isn't it?

I subscribe to Murphy's Law. No matter how hard I tried to prevent it from happening, it just did. It just fucking did.

Yes, it is weird.. 

Today I handed in my last academic paper of my life and attended the last formal lecture. Everything happened so fast that I didn't realise this might be one of the few very last times I am meeting my classmates, sitting together as a class.. It sure feels weird.. And everyone turned up in white. Except me. WAHAHHA.. There was a communication breakdown, Charissa thought Angeline would tell me and Angeline thought Charissa would do the job. So anyway, I was left out of the loop!! oh well..

So anyway, it's been a nice journey *minus the papers and projects*. Though we all have our own cliques, it was still very nice lah... I think I will miss the class.. And the other day, Minyi was telling me, I will miss my ISM. Well, not exactly, but when I was throwing away my survey forms, all 100 of them, completed and incomplete, I hesitated for a moment. I guess that's what she meant about feeling for your project. Yes, I think I do miss that too, Minyi.

So anyway, I felt a little lost on my way home.. It's so weird that it's our last day of school and everyone is still busy with their papers and project. I guess we will celebrate when the whole entire thing is officially over, as in after exams. You know, it's so ironic, on one hand, you want to get out of the whole rat race and on the other, you really miss the whole thing. TSK.. I think I will feel more weird when the time comes for me to throw my mortar board...

So anyway, here are some pictures of my class. Some people are missing, but still..


The honours class of 2005/2006~


Me and my VERY impressive suprvisor, Miss Ingrid. She is from Holland.


The Deviants


I'm sure I wouldn't want to do it all over again, but if I really really have to, I wish I'll do it with the same people. Thank you all.. Really, thank you.

Tempting, VERY 

This is probably my last academic paper that I'll ever need to write. I am like 1/3 there. And it is so tempting to just finish up like 2/3 and hand it in. But it worth 2MCs, ie 50% of my grade. But then again like Jingrong put it last night, my CAP is prolly stabilized and hardly any chance that it can drop further. So as you can see, I am so very tempted to just hand in crap for my 50% paper, which is due on Thursday. Can I pay someone to do my Ethics paper? I don't need to ace it, just a dependable B will do. Thank you very much.

Credits 

I want to dedicate this post to many people. I'm finally done with my ISM paper. It's not fabulous, but at least it's completed on time. And I submitted it to my supervisor, Ingrid whom I trust will mark my paper with extra leniency. HUR HUR.

So anyway, though some of these people might never get to read this post, I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Please accept this very sincere bow from me. To some special people who were really supportive throughout this time like Huanlin, Gwyn-the-vainpot, JL-the-self-proclaimed-bimbo, Coins and her sister, Jasmine-Roger's-girlfriend, my piano teacher, Kimmie, Yenleng, Feng and many many many of those who helped me disseminate/contribute to my survey in anyway. THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH. I wouldn't have done it without you!!
AND also, to WWS, thank you for your Neopet account, to Jason, thank you for the SPSS software, to Dr Cho who helped me with the SPSS analysis, to my supervisor Miss Ingrid who provided some valuable inputs and agreed to extend my deadline for the other paper, to Doreal, Angeline and JL*the same bimbo one*, for the support and encouragement. They made those times so much more bearable.. And I really thank God for all that's been blessed on me. Though I do get VERY angry with God at times, I am really grateful that I was given the strength to carry on during those depressing times.. So anyway, Thank you very much to all who've helped me one way or another..

Jason asked if I wrote an acknowledgement page. Actually I didn't cos' I was thinking since mine is not a thesis, it seems a bit like weird to have an acknowledgement, right? So anyway I thought it would seem like sucking up my supervisor *who is grading my paper* if I thanked her at the beginning of the paper, before she even get to read the contents. So yah, my acknowledgement page is here lah..

Colin told me he watched a play that he did not really enjoy. When was the last time I watched a play... I think it was the RA play that I watched with Colin.. or was it the Eleanor Wong Triple Bill.. Either one.. that was like at least 3 years ago.. I WANT TO WATCH A GOOD, NICE PLAY!!!!

Oh, and I must remember to 'upgrade' the files in my poddy. Take out the songs I do not enjoy and put in some new blood. And I should stop listening to depressing songs. Tsk, not good. I can leave home feeling nice and bubbly, and reach school feeling like it's going to be the end of the world. Not good.

Last week when we were having lunch, we talked about failed relationships and stuffs. And how hard it is to move on again. Like how we feel okay about it most of the times, but somedays, it hits you out of the blue and you feel like the most pathetic person all over again. It's just like craving for a fag. You know it's not good. And you know you are so out of it. But just somedays, out of nowhere, you just crave for one. And rather badly. And know what, it does not make you feel better after the fag and you are still as pathetic as ever.

Oh well, it's a long time I had a good nap. So today after lunch with my classmates and after pirating a whole entire working paper from the library, I came home and collapsed into bed after I bathed. THAT WAS SO GOOD. hur hur.

I'm addicted to some songs playing on poddy these days and I would repeat like 490357835734 times. Those include like My immortal and With or Without You. ANd one of my current favourite is cool by Gwyn Stefani. The first time I heard the "I know we're cool' I totally understand what she's talking about and I fell in love with the song immediately. So here it goes:

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right
And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain
Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been throughI know we're cool
And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles,
and now we're hangin' out with your newgirlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

My declaration of Love
I need to know how to feel without you.. I need to find myself, to give you the space you need, to move in a different direction from yours.. I want to know how life can go on without you.. I want to embrace joy, indulge in love, to enjoy every drop of sunshine that falls on me.. I will conquer my fear of living in a world without you.. I will live my life as though I had never met you...
