i blew dry my hair and what do u noe? it turned out great! no need for hairband!!! i went out of the room and let my mom see the hair. As i pointed to my hair, i said,"nice right?" and she said "yeahhhh~" i said, "no need hairband right?" she said, "no need." i said, "should take a picture right?" she said,"yeah!"...so here's the picture..



this sony ericsson phone has the best built-in camera la...think the pictures taken by it looks as great as the ones taken by the digital cam.

p.s.: to those persons who wanted so much for me to take off my hairband to see the hair without it, well here you go! nice eh? ;) depends on how i blow it la...sometimes it turns out awful so i have to cover it up with the hairband...




to those who think that to do well in the American system is easy peasy, well let me tell you it is not.

An A is at a 92.5 most of the time. I had a friend who once asked if it was set so high cos it's really easy to get As. well it is so not. it is really difficult. if you want the A, you need to put in an A grade effort and it's not easy.

yes... i am stressing out right now. it's the exam period. thoughts of grades, grades and more grades are flooding my brain. i wonder about the GPA at the end of the entire course. i don't need anything greater than a 3.75. give me a 3.75 and i'll be happy for life! extremely satisfied...

the thing is, it is so easy for ur GPA to slip. and when it does, it slips by a lot. and when u make the effort and get more As than the previous semester, ur GPA only goes up by a small tiny puny little bit.

It is tough people, really. this is assuming u are striving for err a good GPA. If all u want is really just that cert that says u are a graduate? well i guess after clearing that min. GPA to get into the school of wadever major ur doing u can just go ahead and get ur Cs and Ds. This would be easy peasy.

anyway...as i was saying, at the end of the day, i want a 3.75 cos it is doable it's just the amount of hard work i'll have to put in that's frustrating me. cos i'm really quite exhausted after 6 semesters...

in this point of time, i'm really glad that i have friends and classmates around me that share a similar goal and are encouraging me and pushing me forward :D all the best guys, i hope we all make it! :D

and i have other friends, my family and sometimes the holy spirit reminding me that it is not by my strength that things happen. why this exhaustion? my brains came from the lord. i'm just His servant, His instrument. why do i need to strife? when i succeed it is not about me. I did not do it, but it is the lord who gave me everything that i needed to do it. so all glory goes to Him...

it's so difficult for me to let go and let the lord handle everything. it's easy to say i surrender all and i have said that countless times. but did i really surrender all??

i'm really inspired by some of my friends in church. they go for cell, church and do all sorts of church activities and yet they are able to do so exceedingly well in their exams. i think it has to do with trust, trusting the lord, having faith and putting it to work.

oh it also has to be said that at the end of the day, you must make sure you really got an education. you DID study something. you DID get something out of ur undergraduate studies. knowledge that will help you grow and mature and go into whatever field of business you so wish to go.

ok. think i've reflected and vented enough. Lord hear my cry. I know you've heard me. I'm here. do to me what you will. really, take control. i love ya! :)




as i was taking a break from watching the lecture videos, i decided to paint my fingernails with my turquoise nail polish. i love the color turquoise cos i just like it heh and it also reminds me of crescent :) gonna remove the paint job tho, cos i'm not that daring. Although, i did wear the color on my toenails for quite a long duration last semm. I don't really mind any color on my toenails *shrugs*






Ok i've been wanting to write this for the longest time, but i keep forgetting.

First came: "Hi~ I am VAIO"

Now there is: "Hi~ I am MIO"

I feel that the personification of our gadgets is kinda creepy in some weird way. *shrugs*

And I wonder why singtel ran an ad so similar to the vaio ad. no creativity? copycat?

p.s.: i've been overworking my printer and laptop. really afraid they may break.

oh and i would seriously encourage my friends to use firefox. it's FREE! so much faster and really user friendly.

i've been using firefox for awhile and got used to the speed..and then one day i used internet explorer for fun or i clicked on the wrong icon, can't remember which...it took double the time firefox takes for the page to show up...i remember waiting and waiting and waiting...but yeah i'm exaggerating. but seriously it is very much faster. just give it a go. no harm. :D

boy, am i a good friend or what? haha...kidding...lame...stupid...need to go to bed...bye bye...




I don't really care if it is or if it is not. I just noe that I am. VERY BUSY. 2 more papers and one project. Exams will end next friday can't wait.

I'm going to sydney with my sister...can't wait...can't wait to get off this island. it's so small and busy, it's hard not to feel suffocated...














I just bought their album, yuck. wasted money. after buying it, i was like wait. don't i have some of their songs in my ipod already??!!! my goodness!!! anyway....i got sick of listening to it after one night...the lyrics are so negative...i'm not sure why i was even attracted to their songs in the first place...argh. kicking myself in the butt...

here's a funny vid. to brighten up your day: Will Ferell Meets His Landlord starring Will Ferell :D




who likes uncertainty? not me definitely. i need to know things, cos i like to plan. whether or not i fulfill what i had planned out to do is a whole other thing.

what frustrates me is when teachers mark our papers so slowly and give our grades back so late...how i endured the 3mth wait for my O level results and even longer for my A level results is a mystery...

of course i know teachers are humans too...and they have other stuff besides marking to do as well...this is just a rant...hopefully they are taking such a long time because they are trying to ensure that they are fair in their marking etc. cos the last thing i want is for a teacher to count my marks wrongly ( it has happened quite a few times) or not read my answers thoroughly ( although i think most teachers probably just glance through our essay answers...or research papers...)

oh wadever...

p.s.: i should have seen the doc earlier to get antibiotics or better cough medicine :) i feel so much better now with the right meds. self-medicating is not a good idea. although the doc did say i was right to take panadol cold relief and clarinase. but i should not take them together at the same time or it might cause my heart to palpitate and cause discomfort (and i did just tht but only once...heh)

oh and i'm so hooked on avril lavigne's girlfriend music video, i watch it everytime it comes on but i don't agree with snatching another girl's boyfriend :(




yeah the time to mug has come. just need to endure for 2 weeks and it will be the end of semester and time for FUN! cannot wait...

i've a few things planned after the exams:

-take GMAT
-take advanced theory
-learn to drive
-go on a short holiday with sis
-and more...

i miscalculated my holidays...i only have one month and 3 weeks NOT 2 months and 3 weeks...heh...

i'll be taking only one subject next semester: sales force management :D need to find constructive things to do...

oh and if ur interested there's this really hilarious video on youtube :) it made me laugh :D

study well everyone :) all the best :D




It has been a sad week..really sad...

ye ye was cremated todae and my dad will be going to get his ashes tomorrow.

it was only when the coffin went in that i truly felt that he was no longer with us :( but my memories of him will live on...

That face

You see that face
Staring right at you

You wonder who she is
You wonder why she is who she is
You wonder how she became who she is

You lean closer
As close as close can be

And you find nothing
Nothing as what nothing really is

You wonder why
Why this happened so
You ask her why
Why this happened so

You wonder how
How this happened so
You ask her how
How this happened so

You get no answer
And you realize
She is empty as empty as can be

Help me she says
Help me she pleas

But you say I see nothing
There is nothing I can see
There is nothing
Nothing I can do

She cries
She yells
She screams

You say stop
You say no
You say goodbye

I cannot help
For I am nothing too

the phantom of the opera is amazing!!!...the performance was just spectacular!!! i enjoyed it tremendously...i give it 10/10!!! it was sooooooo awesome...

some pics below..only 2...n i bought a key chain as a souvenir :D







The flu bug has been going around...and it has hit me again. I just recovered from a flu just not too long ago and i'm experiencing it again. this sucks so much. I just came home from school to rest...will have to go back again for a long law lecture.

AND I'M GOING TO WATCH PHANTOM TODAY!- what a day to be sick huh?

I finished reading my sister's keeper.

Here's what I think about the book:

It has a nice story and if you watch enough HK drama serials, you will find the ending predictable.

Anyhow, it sucks to be sick, and as I was praying for the lord to heal me quickly, this song came into my head:

Heal me O, Lord

And I will be healed

Save me and I will be saved

Heal me O, Lord

And I will be healed

For You are the One I praise

You are the One I praise

p.s.: I haven't been too happy with my grades this semester, but I'm learning to count my blessings. Lower my expectations? Be realistic?- Maybe. Work harder?- Definitely. No shortcuts.




the tee and jacket arrived yesterday...i was so excited when my sis came home holding the package in her hands...













I conquered html/xhtml...well not really la..but enough to complete my assignment...i'm super duper happy...when i got stuck i prayed...typed in the search engine and linked my way through the net to find assistance...i did not sleep at all last night..but it was worth it..a peace of mind! at last~

time to rest and relax...think a flu is coming on..not good..so not good...clarinase~!!!!

and i have time to cont. reading my sister's keeper! it really pays to finish ur work early...yahoooo!:D




i am really blessed. truly blessed. everyday i thank God for my family. for putting me in this family. i have great parents and a great sister.

just now, i smsed my dad to buy some ice-cream back for me, i thought he might drop by the petrol kiosk and maybe pick up some walls ice-cream or some cheapo ice-cream. BUT he actually went to cold storage and got me haagen daz...it must have been a pain to park the car, get down, go into the supermarket, walk through the aisles looking for it but he did it still. He bought the best...(some of u might say that haagen daz is not the best...but look at what i was comparing it to)...and this is my earthly father we are talking about...what more can my heavenly father do for me?

i was so touched by my dad's gesture, although this isn't his first time doing nice things like this :D


























yay. new similarity index. now i can sleep soundly. i think subconsciously i was worried about this. :D




i woke up at 4, watched television till 7 went out with my sis to orchard...bought many things..ate and came home.

the similarity index came back to be 33% i had to change things in the paper...i re-submitted and i'm now waiting for the new report...hopefully it would be much less then i would not have to re-submit again...

i was laying in bed...listening to the lord's music (newsboys) trying to get myself to sleep..i was tired...but somehow i just can't sleep...my mind keeps reminding me to watch the mgs videos which i've yet to watch! i'm not sure what to do now..sleep or watch the vids...hmmms..

think i'll go out to watch tv or talk to my mom..yes she's not asleep...lol..my entire family sleeps late...i think ours is the the only apartment in the building that have lights turned on throughout the night everynight...lol...and where the ppl in the apartment actually walk about with quite a lot of energy....lol...

p.s.: think i screwed up my law n ntr exams...i'm so screwed...














almost done with the ntr paper...about one and a half pages more to go...ahh! i have not done the citations yet! so tired...

went out for dinner with my mom just now. she wanted to go laguna...cos laguna has great jap buffet but it's sooo far! and there's nothing we can do there after eating so i suggested the jap food restaurant ade brought me to the last time...wasabi tei? can't remember the actual name..anyway it's official. this jap restaurant serves nice food. cos my mom enjoyed it. and unlike me, my mom is super choosy with her food. wait...i can be a lil' choosy too...err...nvm...anyway i had a fun time spending time with mom as always :D

think i'm suffering from insomnia again. but if it weren't for my inability to sleep early...i would not have been able to accomplish this much with regard to my ntr paper....

one assignment is giving me a headache...the MGS webpage ahh!!! so confusing i dunno how to do! lord pls help!

p.s.: i finished more than 3/4 of a pandan cake all by myself within 2 days. not good not good...
and i realize i've been using the wrong words or spelling things wrongly unknowingly...like before i actually said "disability to sleep early" instead of "inability to sleep early" i realised it after i published the blog..this keeps happening..even when i'm conversing with someone...not good not good...need. to. sleep.




i just discovered a whole tee-shirt making n seeking community. it exists on the internet. i googled to search for nice tees cos i think threadless is getting a lil' boring...and woohoo! i found this whole new world...anyway the total damage for my online tee-shirt spree amounted to 70 US dollars? ard there...but i think it is absolutely worth it...looking forward to the package wee! cannot wait.

i started on my ntr paper....less than a quarter way into it though...but hey! at least i got started..*pats own back* lol...




wad a tear-jerker!!! i cried two times and i'm not even half-way through the book yet! sad sad...

went for a swim just now was floating in the water and i looked up at the sky and saw stars..and my immediate thought was...no rain tonight...not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing...

i have absolutely no inspiration to write the ntr paper!!!! sad sad...

p.s.: super happy this semm is drawing to a close...just a mth more to go! yay!!




yay! done with law test todae...not sure how i did tho', i tried explaining my cases the best way i knew how hopefully he buys them...

it's a good thing i went to school for mgs and comm before law..i entertained the thot of pawning them to study law which only started at 4pm...it's a good thing i did not! for there was comm quiz and the mgs TA took attendance

after mgs i crammed for comm...cos i was banking on him to not have a quiz todae..but..no..there was...with the lord's help i managed to finish studying it..think i only got one question wrong it was a super tricky question too!

after law...andrea, celest n i went to town! n i finally found the tee with a print i like...and i would have bought it if only i had with me the num discount card!!! may go back to town one of these days to grab it...hopefully no one buys tht size...*cross fingers*

oh then i brought andrea n celest to the jap restaurant ade brought me to..JAP FOOD was delicious...and very filling...healthy too i might add...:D

currently reading my sister's keeper by jodi picoult...the book seems good so far...i hope to finish it within these 2 days...

hope to finish writing the ntr paper by tomorrow....it should not be tough to accomplish i think since all the info can be found via the internet...well latest thursday la...

and i need to remind myself to WATCH MGS AND MGO LECTURES!...mgs lectures for the mgs exam and mgo lectures for the eqs...

whooppidoopidoo~!

p.s: the weather is super hot, i love the air-conditioner :D




Today's sermon was about names. And how a name characterizes a person and actually affects who we are.

Had a nice time with church mates as always...sharing about our adventures with pests among other things....ahah...

Oh. and you noe how i "quit" BSF? i'm really glad that i did because now there's BSP in church and it is exactly wad i was looking for..BSF was not quite..i wanted to learn the entire bible and BSF only taught parts of it...but now..there's BSP!!! i'm super psyched...i signed up for it immediately since it was something i had been looking for since last year..and it was on a first come first serve thing...woo! super duper happy!:D

before church i had high tea wif mom and after that we went to isetan and i checked out the lesportsac bag and well..it's totally out of stock :( and then i showed mom the blythe dolls..and straightaway she said, "this is so evil." which was my first impression of the doll too...anyway...i asked myself if i was seeing the doll for what it is...and u noe wad? i have no idea...i definitely do not want anything abominable in my hse...so i guess it's better to just be on the safe side...so bye bye dolly...

oh so my mom dropped me off at margaret drive and i went to the library...it's been such a looooong time since i actually borrowed something from the national library...anyway i borrowed 2 books for my research paper on anorexia...woot!

ok. now i've to study law. have not touched the material at all! all i did was set the textbook on the coffee table in the living room and opened it to chapter 11...ahahah...err...ya..will start when i wake up tomorrow cos i'm kinda bushed...

lesson from the day i had to take mgo, ntr, n give the law presentation: SLEEPING before a "BIG DAY" is very important; sleeping before an exam is very important.

it's time to toss out the idea of cramming completely!

ok tht's all. gdnight :D
