NUS - 1:35 PM
you noe i think there's something about me and nus. so first i get rejected by them, but i do take that in my stride coz i don't think i did well for my interview too. and nxt i run into the world's most helpful service staff at COOP who either, doesn't pick up my call after 3 times, den is engaged when i call, and den when i get through, tell me to email them cause their really REALLY REALLY busy.
ok i'll see how long they take to reply my email.
grey's quotes - 12:06 AM
i'm such a facebook junkie but oh wells, i have nothing better to do! [i mean besides, packing my room so i can start packing my bag coz i relised i onloy have slightly more than 2 weeks to stuff everything in my bag and i'm having doubts about being able to squeeze important things like:
-contact lens solution
-rice cooker
-books (5)
-milo 3-in-1 packets
-instant noodles
-clothes
-shoes
-bags
-toiletries,
and of coz heading down to either nus COOP or P&G books to get my books but it seems the entire med student community have alr got theirs, leaving me with constant replies of "sorry, but it's not in stock, the new arrival would be in mid-sept" yupp perfect when i'm flyign off in mid sept.]
ok so back to the main point, quotes by Meridith Grey [Grey's Anatomy] is just so so so beautiful or as Sam says, blow-me-away.
meridith -
"The thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely, because almost everyone has that smallest bit of faith and hope that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true. At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale is slightly different than your dream. The castle, well it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important that it’s happily ever after — just that it’s happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in awhile, people may even take your breath away.”
"Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. And as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don’t know what they want."
ok i'm off, haven't been in much of a uploading picts/blogging mood.

misunderstood. - 1:23 AM
was it a misunderstanding or did i say something i shouldn't? i somehow don't think so. but i guess this serves as a good experience of thinking twice before speaking, and minding my own business, or perhaps, even answering questions posed at me UNtruthfully so i won't say anything wrong. lest i innocently get dragged into ppl's affairs.
now, why should i let myself be bothered, affecting my quest to savour the food in Singapore! [omg greedy!]

timetable. - 12:43 PM
so i was bored and still adamantly refusing to start on tuition work or to work out, i went to the university website to snoop around and read up on stuff.
yupp i somehow managed to navigate myself to the timetable for med.
friday (week 1)
900-1300 Lecture
1410-1500 Lecture
thats just friday's timetable. ok so basically i have a rather standard 9-3 day, not including, ILA's [problem-based learning like of thing], SSC [student selected research components], tutorials, practicals, reading up.
ok time to have lunch, drop by the post office to post photo for my matriculation card, and hitting tuition early to prepare notes [arghhhhh].
happy girl, but 29's the number. - 12:54 AM
.
prata night on friday and dou hua on sat after minds
some minds action, together with the usual picture of the girls
tcc, ramen, scoop shortcake
shit, i'm so turning into a camwhore. and i've got to stop myself from cheese if not we'll turn out like the last picture!!!i haven't updated in a while. but i've been meeting up and going out and having fun as usual =)
just a brief entry, where i'll edit with photos on a later date.
sat was pre departure talk for students gg to the uk. didn't leave the place feeling very encouraged =/ i realise i do have difficulties interacting with ppl like up front. mbbe i'm anti-social. i do noe that when i go for like smsl gatherings i'd be the only person who doesn't noe anybody else, given the fact that i'm not from the school which makes up majority of the students gg =/ minds with the band ppl after that. it was rather fun doing sth besides eating, though we had like dou hua supper. but was rather tired that day.
sun was svc, and den coffee before me and sam went for our liang court ramen expedition! hahaha cam whoring session was in full force. again shall upload photos later. i felt really happy that day and enjoyed myself thoroughly, talking with Sam =)
monday was a horrible day, i shall not elaborate how bad it is. but it got better at night when i was talking to my med sch snr frm sheffield, and he introduced me to the other girl who's gg to study engine. and after talking to her, i was rather happy, coz like i felt that at least we can click [frm the brief convo, like we talked abt gym membership to river island. haha] and it's just comforting to noe that there's someone you can talk to in a foreign land =)
today was badminton in the morning with sam, ben and nessa. yay haven't played doubles in a while, though me & sam lost 3 games out of 3, all by like 2pts. haha went home and rushed to SATA to do my health check up for visa entry to the UK, which might not even be used, and cost $90. i dare say i've spent at least $300++ on all these admin and health checkup shit. ok well went to meet xa, leo, liesel for dinner after their school. feels good to be able meet up with friends even though they've started uni alr =) nice hearing them talk abt their school stuff, besides the fact that they insulted my crane to be a flying chicken. hmrph.
reached home to crack my head over searching for banks. they charge you like 5pounds per mth to maintain the acct, thats $900 at the end of 5-yrs! like wth! and den it was headache filling up my "financial guarantee form" due to my school fees section on whether to write half the amt or the full amt. glad the engine girl helped me understand that banking shit a little better =)
overall, i'm a happy girl. i did badminton, met up with various groups of friends over the weekend, made new friends [after the really demoralising pre-departure uk talk, where all the ppl were from like rj or sth and all knew each other =(], did my admin stuff, drafted a to-bring list as well as a to-do list.
it's bidding for hs tmr, and tuition which i'm so dreading. i really wished i could stop so i can stay home to pack and settle admin stuff, or crash lects w/o thinking that i have to go tuition, and prepare notes etc. well, but i'd get to see Jas during tuition tmr and hear abt her first few days of uni life! =) [i realise hearing abt their uni experience makes me egg-cited]
but........ 29's the number =(

re-visit to the activities of Jan-March - 3:19 PM
oi and xa came over for bbq+ stay over on tuesday night! ppl think is mad having a bbq for 3 ppl but i think its perfectly sane. like you get to eat proper food of ribeye and pork chops, instead of things like sausages and crabsticks. doh. oh yes besides the food, and the wine which we finished, we pretty much just talked, surfed friendster, check GEMs and watch crunchy roll. towards the morning we were all sprawled on the sofa half aslp =/
[cam whoring moments =/]well anw, after some slight cleaning up, i went to bed at 7 to get up at 1030 again to gym after that horrible fat meal =/ and the weighing scale did nothing to lift my spirits. time for some control over food, and not gobble down 5 pratas like how some ppl can. tsk tsk.. pretty much spent the wednesday sleeping my life away.
yupp, its national day. don't feel like how i felt in previous years. perhaps the feeling is inspired when ur in school and there's the incessent national day songs played, starting from july all the way till august 8. ok not that i'm complaining abt living in singapore, there just no more enthusiasm abt flag waving, and singing along with the latest sg song, and thinking, wow, we achieved INDEPENDENCE! ok fine i'm rambling on rubbish. perhaps its coz the waking up at 730am on a public holiday of which there was a slight shower in the morning [which makes it A grade sleeping day] kinda screwed up my brain.
haha well as usual wat can i be doing awake so early. OF COZ EATING LAH! [says in that unglamness of mine] wanton noodles, peanut pancake, N&B dou hua + crossaint + chicken pie [after deciding that we weren't hungry for a full main meal, we settle for the cholesterol RICH pastries and protein high dou huas. haha but i seriously am starting to like their dou hua!] oh man, so gonna miss it =(
ok time to put on more weight and hit the bed for my afternoon siesta. HAHA.

38more days. - 10:48 AM
hmm its been a while. the weekend has been a rather fun one this wk. every weekend we meet up with the same group of people. sometimes it gets a little boring hearing all their army talk all over again, sometimes its interesting. but all the same, it's always fun. so this week we celebrated terence's and tim's birthday, with all our hidden surprises as usual, which roy kinda pulled off rather well! and the dinner table talk was more different talking abt GEMs and CORs instead of ASLC and SOC.
[yeah 85 market mince meat noodles and some porridge over there. we had soup spoon meal for dinner]
yupp, sunday was Ultimate Delight! =) that ultimate delight wasn't as nice as the prevoius time one, but still, rolling to Hougang mall is alot better than changing 2 buses to reach junction8. mmm finally a picture of the 4 of us.
yupp and dem monday came where i met hushing for to splurge. ok so i had soup spoon MEAL AGAIN. but i liked it all the same. got a tank top at taka, den headed off to bugis street to get shorts, and me to get my dress. hs got 2 shorts, 2 tshirts. i ended up with 2 tshirts and no dresses. walking around so much made us tired we hit the starbucks[a little rationalising here =P] for her chocolate cream chip frappe and my green tea frappe [which tasted like green tea ice cream so nxt time i'll just hit straight to like java chip frappe or like caramel]
and today will be another fun day. though i think i've been slping rather little =/
i just did a mental calculation, 38 more days.

- 12:10 PM
so yupp, wed was gym which i felt nausea again [no dont' think too deep], i woke up late and had breakfast late, and i think my digestive system works slower than the others [quite surprising eh, despite the large appetite].
thursday was badminton followed by botak jones! haha the food was good, esp the fries, and we ate until we were so full. the journey there was long [not far, just that so few buses go there]
and i'm a happy happy girl, coz my email brought good news yesterday! whatever it is, i'm truly grateful!
