almost fell off half a storey of stairs with my trusty scanner crashing down on top of me. almost. my fingers are numb carrying that monster around; and it isn't even good at its work!

doing product designs for my marketing project; so i have to lug that thing from school back home to work over the weekends. and than back to school again so i can continue working on it. its a really interesting project.

on the other end of the interest and hyped-up spectrum of upcoming big-things is my accountancy test (15%) which is coming at 12nn tmr. (2 tutorials without break immediately before the test). am so dead again.

hell, i didn't even work so hard with the stupid A levels. i actually DID my accountancy tutorials today, even though i can't figure out most of what i wrote, and my lecture notes are too blank to make much sense of. 

hugging my buddha's legs now. 

A large unknown insect was walking across the pavement when a smaller unknown insect flew there and tried to mate with it. just when the latter seems to be making some headway, a chameleon appeared, darted over and snapped the smaller insect up. Wow, that's not something you see on your way home everyday.

Its just like any other monday; screwed up schedule means i have no lunch; and even though the lecture test today allowed us to end lectures half hour earlier, and our tutor let us off half hour earlier for the lecture test, i'm still hungry as i can't seem to slot in lunch into my day.

munching icecream now as my roomie is complaining that my durian icecream is stinking up the fridge and she hates durians. still hungry. will be eating cookies, biscuits, crackers, jelly, yoghurt and mooncakes for lunch as i'm too cheap and sian to go downstairs to dapao. (its 3.30pm now anyway, if i lunch now, i'll be screwing up my dinner appetite as well. bweh.)

will be a pig the next time you see me... *cries* 

Marketing Project on Monday 0830

Well, you know my marketing project is this super BIG thing la; we're putting a lot more effort than the other groups i know. so basically we met for a very long time yesterday at Hall 15, where we roused the whole floor of girls by borrowing spaghetti straps and torchlights.

we're going to be firming two commercials.

by the time we'd run through all the things with the camerawoman (a volunteer who gave up studying for her test tomorrow), a huge crowd had gathered outside.

All the hall girls were highly excitedly helping 'John' dress up for the bisexual scene. They dug out a black haltertop, a skirt, safety pins, hairpins and battery-free torchlights. He is a celebrity in the hall now, and darn he looks good. There were plenty of NGs, which were so funny we just laughed till we couldn't stop. (like 'John' sneaking in, looking furtively around, looking furtively around, looking furtively around, looking furtively... director:"STOP! just drink the beer!")

the other scene was a family scene, and there were so many people watching, two squeezed into the room to get a better view, and we hid them under a blanket. 

Den we discussed and got stuck on the project for many many hours, the project meeting dragged from 10pm to 6.30am. yep, dragged myself back to hall to bathe (i dun noe how long it was since i last bathed), hallucinated seeing hands on my bathroom door, intended to just start preparing for stats project but fell asleep instead, hence forgetting to lock the bedroom door.

And then...

Accounting Project (Report due Thurs 1300, Presentation Monday 1030)

Woke up at 9.30 for the accounting project online meeting. Not exactly very productive, but i never was an accounting person anyway. Maybe i should not be entering finance, seeing how i am gonna flunk my accounting. argh~ will try to work hard lar~

Thank goodness Stats project is due in more den a week's time. 

i took a good look at myself in the mirror and got the shock of my life. i look like a walking dead.

(omg, i just downloaded the 103MB Macromedia trial in 3 seconds. i love my com)

i mean, i normally think i have huge eyebags, but they are GROTESQUE now. 5 more days to tahan. its always five more days. and den someething else would crop up. but i'm still optimistic. five more days to end of project nyo~~~~~~ 

as  usual, i was running across the school from one project meeting to another. this time i was running half an hour late, going up the long flight of stairs, when this block of wood started walking towards me.

it was a L turning, and that idiot was keeping to the right edge of the walkway. so when we turn together, i'll have to take a detour on the wider side of the turning, or wait for him to slowly, zombiely, stumble across my path before i can move off. like, what hap to the keep left rule? (to block of wood: may you flunk your driving or get into a horrible car accident) 

well, maybe i too am at fault here, coz i decided to just save that precious 0.5seconds to just hop across the drain between the two walkways, bypassing him and cutting 2 m off my route.

a gentle jump, and BANG i hit my head on the curved rooftop, rebounded, and landed further from my starting point. a little bit more and i'll have tumbled all the way down the long flight of stairs to my starting point again.

so i was sitting on the first step, taking a damage count, and the first few things that went through my mind were: shit. am i in the condition to go for accounting project meeting? den... am i bleeding? den... its a rather hard knock on the head, do i need to waste money going to hospital to check it up.

and that block of wood walked on around me, took a glance at me, and continued walking.

and the next guy that came after him asked if i were ok, and i really really wanted to ask him about the bleeding thing, coz my entire left side of the head was paralyzed, and it felt like something cold was creeping down my nerves, down the side of my head. but i guessed it would freak him out, and since he never said "OMG you're bleeding" i should still be looking ok.

so i got up, and trudged on to the meeting, and after that, decided to just wait for the stupid shuttle bus back to hall.

my head now has this horizontal bump in the shape of the rooftop edge.

den one of my project mates is organizing a bash at indochine last night, so i dropped by with some classmates. the vodka was really dilute neh. and i entered at 10.10, the bash starts at 11pm; my parents called at 10.20pm to say "hey, we're at centrepoint orchard, call us when you're done, we'll fetch you home" i told them i'll go off at 11.30 to catch the last train. -___________-

so basically i hung around till 11.10 before i felt too guilty and went off to save them from the misery of sitting around doing nothing. jeez if you don't want me to go you should have just said it out and let me save my $16 right?

but basically clubbing is something that, just once is enough ba. pia-ing project work now. 

my head still hurts when i touch it neh. and there's still that occassional weird feeling that runs down my nerves down the spine of my nose. but according to my parents, as long as i don't puke or get a bloody nose or faint i should be ok ba. still can't help getting the feeling i'm not gonna be living to 150 as i'd wished tho. ok, was whining; sorry~it really is not so big a deal. more of a deal is.. Mozilla suddenly became weird on me! it told me to personalize it or something, den it lost all the memory and history stored in it! so i got Opera, and its pretty slooooww... and i can finally sleep before midnight. yay~ (chionging stats and finance projects now, but its not as bad as marketing) and when all the projects are done, i can finally start studying!!! omg! i never knew i could be so glad i can finally read my textbooks and catch up on my tutorials! i'm actually looking forward to good primary-school-style mugging! the moon is gonna fall from the skies one of these days. i'm procastinating my entire social life to after my exams. i know it sounds a bit unfair and spoilt, but~ bweh, i feel so bad.

yep, exam is in 3 weeks time. and i'm eating my exam supper now - your order delivered to your doorstep at 10pm. i got a roti prata and tangyuen for $1.60. and i'm feeling like staying up to mug now, coz i'm bloated and full, and if i sleep now, i'll grow fatter (did i mention i put on 5kg in the last 3 weeks?), and the only thing i can do is dig out my finance textbook, and do my finance project.

haha, and just just now i went over to the opposite hall to eat pizza (tun's treat as a thank you to everyone for the hard work we put in) and drink a mini cup of vodka. unexpectedly met serene from vj harmoc there. had a very rowdy and silly time laughing about a lot of nothings. so basically i'm feeling so piggish and guilty now. and guilt is a great motivator for work.

aniway, this whole entry is about how i'm trying to procastinate starting on my productive work. 

and omg, my roomie spilt 80% of her $1.20 chengteng! while helping to clean up, its so so so TEMPTING to just pop the big fat cold sago into my mouth. the whole room smells so good now~ we should get a perfume like this. (its fading tho, coz we did such a good job cleaning up =( )

still struggling with my tangyuens. there's SIX when i anticipated three... save me~~~

 

 

well, i guess every once in a while i get happy coz of new people i meet ba.

i'd just been recounting my blessings that, hey, i ended up in one of the best tutorial classes around. everyone get along well with one another, we can communicate well and help build on one another's points in class discussions, it's really kinda the first time i'm in such a cohesive class.

and my project group mates are fantastic too. like, for stats, there's this super pro at presentation slides guy. and everyone actually know what they are doing, and do their work before hand! omg, that's sup to be rare!

as for marketing, (sorry, i'm very into this module, haha) first up, there's this guy in my mkting group, tun, that i'm still thanking the heavens for. wow, i think the entire project was like his baby, he's good at organizing, he has great first hand experience, fresh ideas, super good presentation skills, and so persuasive once he starts talking you basically just get brainwashed. lol. and he's like the exact replica of the marketing tutor, we're all joking about them being father and son. den there's dap in the opp hall, who's from ite and poly, and has a darn lot of experience in business plans, marketing, and a SOLID foundation in the concepts. and el, who's like... one of the star students in class. and 'john', who always comes on time with a free supply of famous egg tarts, even tho he lives off campus. god, i love yous.

haha, wat sparked this entry! coz i just had a msn convo with this guy who really really reminded me of jr. den, it reminded me of the guy in my mkting group who occassionally reminds me of jr too. den... tun >> mkting grp members >> mkting grp >> tut class

you know how i'm the subcom for boggle in hall?  there's a yr2 guy who's same post as me, but basically he does all the work. and i was pretty scared/ in awe of him initially, coz he's really serious and focused, and i'd hardly seen him laugh before.

until i met him on msn, den... now he's agreed to lend me his ps1 so i can play ff7, and also his collection of ps2 rpgs, and he's got anime sources in the hall... feeling so happy now coz its a rather pleasant surprise, plus it seems like we can get along, and i actually got to know him more le. its a really good feeling when someone you initially thought was so far away was actually residing on the same plane actually. ^ ^, 

ah, ignore me, i'm just high from the prospect of having gotten my hands on ff7. plus the adrenaline of having so many unfinished stuff to do. eh-heh

deh. lets see what happened.

monday morning. i decided i would like to switch to the sleep early, wake early to mug policy. so i woke up very happily at 6.30am, feeling very refreshed and motivated. since my roomie is still asleep (she's adopting the study late, sleep late regime), i decided to go out to have breakfast, and study out too.

so when walking past the roti prata stall, i decided i wanted roti prata. so i ordered two pratas, and a separate bowl of curry. and i spilt the curry over myself and my textbook (its un-resellable now). and scalded my finger (on curry. -___-) so after finishing the pratas, i lugged everything back to hall, did some degree of damage control, washed up, and made it to school just in time for lesson. so, no studying in the morning. and the day ended too late for me to feel motivated to work.

so the roti prata is a separate incident. towards the end of monday night, i'm feeling motivated again. so this time, i slept at 11.30pm. and i woke at 7am! and found out it rained last night, so i redid my laundry. by the time my roomie woke up, i'd only covered the two most basic chapters of stats: Histograms and Probability. and now, i'm hopelessly stuck at the bane of my life, Probabibility Density and Variances, that thing that caused me to skip all my statistics for mechanics in my C maths, back in Junior College.

i swear on Mao i will get this chapter right at long last! (Mao is this soft toy i'm obsessed with, that is still sitting unsold at Gift-a-Name. i'm gonna buy it the minute my exams are over. i have no idea why its so unpopular, its price dropped $13 from $26.90 to $16.90. But, yep, i'm buying it! in... a month's time!) WILL drop a pic of it the minute i get it! whee~

i really wasn't planning to come home for the week you know. but i guess i got a bit worried, so i came back for the night, and... what do you know, my mom's been horribly sick all through the week and i didn't even know! and my dad came home just last night, so she's been sick and lonely all the week, and none of us even called to check up on her! god, i feel so guilty.

and everytime i come home she's so happy, and cooks lots of stuff and so on and all my father and i ever talk about are business and investments. bwergh. i'm feeling like the biggest creep ever.

and whenever my father knows i'm coming home, he'll rush back from malaysia for the weekends so the family could be together for a meal at least. i guess he misses me alot... he does tend to spoil me.

and now i'm in my room doing my project work on the computer.

i can't really bear to go off again back to campus; guess i should go on a vacation with my parents after the exams are over; i'm really taking them for granted as of now. and being very aware of it.

one leg, two boats. or more. argh~ i hate myself. i'm just too greedy, but i can't really help it, can i?

i'm seriously contemplating taking a permanent part-time post in a manga circle. basically, i can take 3 months of lessons starting december, for $240. than, if i'm interested in this line, and i can cope with it, i'll sign up for the $600+ Bronze exam (half-subsidized by the jap embassy), which would qualify me for undertaking projects for other people at a cheap labour rate. the passing rate seems rather high... someone i know failed 3 times le...

then at Bronze level, we should get more projects and exposure, coz we're hideously cheap. then more courses, and there's the Silver exam, which qualifies us as 'solo artist', with higher 'pocket-money' rates for projects undertaken.

then at Gold exam, we should be able to make a 60 page manga le.. and our rank should be at 'editor'. hmm... actually i sorta forgot all the rankings and stuff. just... its very bureaucratic. i'm never good at remembering these stuff, heh heh.

but, arghz. the first stage would be $540 le. i'm scrimping hard and looking for a part-time job in the up-coming hols. of coz my parents can't know, right?

den after that... i don't know. sigh~ guess i'll think about it after my exams ba. in 10 days. bweeeh.
