Ok, ok, here i am! i'm *sneezes* *sneezes* back~! just realized my tagboard's been pretty active, thanks guys!

Just went out the whole day; cycling at 8am at ECP. freaking 8am on a saturday morning! well, i woke up AT 8am coz YY called me, haha. so i *sneezes* reached there 9.30am instead; late for 1.5 hours. but, sheesh, i'm really tired nowadays... *whines* and i still have to wake up early tomorrow morning as well for Jap lessons. half a mind not to go... *sneezes*

my bum hurts. next saturday i'm going to be lugging a very bulky and heavy pair of roller blades down to the ECP; anything to prevent me from bruising my ass. beh. ouch~~~

and my cousins came down from australia! so after lunch with the gang and yiling at Cartel (ooh, i love that place. *notez: owes YY $10.06; i'm horribly broke*) i went home to bathe. haha! and den went over to gram's. played table tennis; its been so long! and i can't believe i LOST 5% of my matches. wadeva happened to my 100% winning streak? *cackles* its just now that i realized how much i missed playing table tennis. maybe its time for another get-together for the DHS table tennis team. yay~

anyway, dinner was sumptous. too bad i haf a jaw-infection, so i can't really chew much... no, dun ask me about it; i'm not sure either, and i'm a doctor-phobe, so leave me be. but, my jaws just hurt everytime i open my mouth more den halfway wide. maybe its a toothache? ^ ^

and, i've decided to go down and jog whenever i have time. BEHZ! after meeting up with jr and shawn ytd, i realized just how bad my physical has dropped. i mean, they're doing what, 20+ pull ups and hundreds of pumpings and kms and all everyday, and i'm just sitting in my chair in front of my com (in the aircon, i must add) growing FAT.

*roars* tmr perhaps. *goes to sleep* and, what, i'd sneezed like twenty times in the past half hour. wonder what's wrong. *sniffles*

Yikes! Stop! Stop!

Eh, just realized i missed out the most impt point of the previous week! the interview!

Firstly, what interview? basically, for every faculty, the interview format is different. Accountancy people get a one-on-one, two-on-one or three-on-one interview. for business... its a class discussion with two profs and seven fellow applicants about a random topic.

The reporting time is.... crap. you just join whoever reaches there at that time. the case study they give you to read before the discussion is... useless. basically the discussion sways and meanders and disappears way out of context.

what happens is, you guys enter a room where there are two newspaper articles in front of you, k? den you read for... 7 minutes. den you go into a room, where you have a mock-class discussion about the topic. Mine was... creativity in singapore pertaining to jobs... something like.

the whole thing is like 20min? so its like an average of 2.4 min per person. the profs know nuts about you, so all you have to do is actively participate and sell your intelligence and coherence and what have you. i... totally flunked. to tell the truth, i can't remember what the freaking hell i said, but i know its rather stupid. i think i mentioned "i'm currently working in an office, and its rather comfortable. i'll understand why some people don't feel like going out and starting businesses." one down for xueqi. beh!

as for PROPER interviews, be prepared to answer questions regarding what you're doing now; community involvement; and of course, why the hell did you decide to take this god-forsaken course?

to angie: when's your interview? which fac? hope you read this in time!

to yks: i'm sorry!!!! i went down to run and forgot my hp. didn't know you'll have to go off so early, sorry~! (if sorries are pennies, i'll be rich. all i can say is, please don't be angry, i really didn't mean it.)

speaking of running, i'll be going down to run everyday UNTIL i stop feeling like i'm gonna die after 400m of jogging. i suck...

but even though my heart feels like its gonna burst, my head feels like its gonna drop off my shoulders, i feel like throwing up my dinner and lunch, and i smell horrible (lets see... its gonna be 17 hours since my last bath soon ^ ^) i'm feeling pretty perked up and happy.

or maybe its just the aftermath of hugging huiling's furry bag for the entire mrt ride to sleep. i love furry stuff~!

*collapses into bed* *faints*

*crawls over to computer*

arghz... went out the whole day. morning, went off to breakfast with mum at BK coz i got the coupons! den we went around shopping and looking around; and i almost went for a haircut again, just that there's too many people queueing up on a saturday late morning.

den went over to my gram's house where she force-fed me hokkien noodles, kueh.... and i led my cousins through Jungle World stage of Kingdom Hearts.

den came the horrible part. to save the $6 rental fees i decided to bring my own blades to ECP. so i was lugging this huge red plastic bag with enormous roller blades (size 39; which is 2 sizes bigger) and my bag to vjc.

coz it was just so goddamn heavy, i decided to just wear the damn blades from school; there were railings all the way to cling onto watz. so... i survived from there to... the overhead bridge.

u can imagine larz, this novice climbing up the bridge in blades, puling herself up the slope (bird shit and carpenter ants on the railings). i was sweating after the first stretch, and for some weird reason, my friends sweating with me. i think they broke out in cold sweat, haha. den clinging on for dear life on the down slope.

i think i wasted everyone's half hour there. but i'm unrepentant! i advised them to move on ahead and leave me to die, but they refused to leave me behind! haha!

after that, we cycled/bladed... and it rained. for an hour. so i was stuck in a pavilion singing school songs with ning; teen and px (teen's jogging and px's attempting to regain her cycling proficiency) in a pavilion a short distance from the starting point; yy, hl and june way way ahead on the jetty with no shelter (cycling with an umbrella)

ok, NOW i'm repentant. if i haven't wasted so much time on the overhead bridge, we could have cycled more. but anyway, it was pretty fun at the pavilion: looking on at kayak-ers battling the waves and scrambling back onto their kayaks. actually, for a short time, i thot he was drowning, and wondered if i'm witnessing something really sordid. but he had on an orange lifesuit, and his kayak was just floating beside him, so i was just a passive sadistic onlooker. and a group of people were trying desperately to keep their BBQ fire alive against the rain.

den the rain stopped and we cycled/bladed on. after returning the bikes, we went to the hawker centre for dinner; my treat coz i lost a stupid bet i made in stupid sec 4. (px went home to eat sushi) wah~ bursted my wallet there~! but $85 for 6 people, ok lar. crayfish was $20; stingray $20; satays and drinks and rojak and roti john and lala and dessert.... it was really a fun and filling meal. we should have more like this; not my treat though. haha

i'll be living on titbits and yogurt for the rest of my month. don't even bother to stop me. i'm broke~~~

den... hugging my super bulky blades, we walked from there to the nearest bus stop. and from there to the next bus stop, and the next... and the next... HL who suggested it got onto her no. 12! and we walked all the way back to Bedok...

reached home at... 10.30? so.... tired now.... i'll just go and sleep.... (hey, the last sentence sounds like what suicidal people on tv say before eating tonnes of sleeping pills! but i won't need sleeping pills to fall into deep slumber. hell, i wonder if i'll be able to wake up in the morning.)

nitez!

oh! and, coconuts rock! no, i did not have diarrhea after eating/drinking so much coconuts. and i don't think i'll have diarrhea tomorrow when i finish that coconut i dapao home. so there.

eh-heh heh. so i just went to have a hair cut out of no where. (now i'm broke after crashing my last few dollars on the cut and groceries. no more lunch, uuu~)

i can't really describe how i look like, something like ayanami rei from eva? something like my friend june. something like me in my primary school days. haha!

trying to move on with Babel before Thong returns from camp and starts nagging at my lack of progress. so, i'm busy!

and, sidenote: i THINK i'm going NTU afterall. Not sure though...

this is a rather sombre entry, so skip it if you're bored. lately i'd been spacing out a lot; thinking about university admissions and courses, and just getting. no where.

after being all for SMU, i now find myself gravitating? towards the more recognised NTU school of business. Plus points would be it is a three year direct honours program, it has the option for hostel-life, it is more recognised (doh), more active club activities, and more importantly, an electives and minors system.

my original plan would be to go to SMU, and try for a double degree in Business and Economics, completed in five years. to do so, i'll have to get a minimum A for every term. *stress*

alternatively, if i go NTU, perhaps i can try for the double specialization or double major, or even take a minor. and the diversity of the school means more electives to choose from.

there's a NTU School of Business Hi-Tea Session on Sunday, where we can find out more about the school, the learning system and the course in particular. Perhaps I'll come to a firmer conclusion then.

This is so reminding me about my JAE in secondary four. in sec 1 and 2, i was all for VJC; coz my cousin made it sound so cool and happening, and its near to my house. Den in sec 3 and 4, nothing could tear me away from HCJC, never mind the distance. i just loved the ccas (i wanted to join fencing) and... what was it? and it was wa wa Hwa Chong for the whole of two years, until one week before decision day, i calmed down, and... here i am. VJC. i don't regret my choice, i lOVE vj, but i think i'd had enjoyed myself at either school, so no matter.

and post a-levels, i'd pictured myself cooped up at home drawing sheets and sheets of comics and trying to beg a publisher to print my works... here i am. an office lady. and a 6-month working stint at that.

and, the above is my plans for my university life. crap, i don't think i'll ever carry them out in full. but i don't really mind, because i'll just enjoy myself all the way. the only reason why i'm in such a dilemna is coz the choice i'm going to make is going to choose what type of experience i'm going to have, and which direction my life is going in. like betting the loose change in your wallet on Big Small, and not knowing which to choose.

i'll just toss a coin, but actually, i'm pretty much settled. NTU it is then. will have to go reject SMU soon, but i just can't bring myself to cut off that road yet. latest two weeks down the road u'll see a journal entry going "Ah~~~ i did it! i rejected **U and now i'm so regretting~~~ waaaa turn back time! i don't want~"
