OH GOD.

Why hasn't NUS received my documents! SMU has already received mine!!

I'm going to freak out if I check tomorrow and see that they still haven't received them. =X

[/edit] Okay, phew, NUS finally received them like one hour ago. Also, 1 more hour to Episode 25!!! OMG OMG.

HELLO people! I am back from Malaysia!

Okay, actually I've been back for more than a day already. Still.

It was a surprisingly fun trip because the place wasn't as ulu as I imagined it to be. I was seriously expecting one of those old-school bucket-style toilets, but they actually had a flushing system with a toilet bowl! <3 much. Plus they had AIR-CON!

And I saw a lot of my relatives for the first time ever, since it's my first time back to my dad's hometown. A total of 5 aunts, 3 uncles, a about a thousand cousins. Yep, my dad has 12 siblings, but two of them were, apparently, given away after they were born. How sad! But my point is, it's amazing how they all look so alike. Whenever I look at my Second Uncle it's like I'm looking at my dad 12 years later (that's how far apart they are in age).

The most exciting part was probably that I ate wild boar meat. HAHA. And I sat on a motorbike for the first time in my life (ulu much?), because my mom refuses to let me do so in Singapore. I swear I'm still going to learn how to ride a bike one day though, when I'm older. I think it's lots of fun :D

Okay, so enough ranting for now. I'm still pissed that bloody Liew never did my referee report for me, but luckily for him, I'm not gonna kill him because I decided not to apply anyway. Too lazy :/

And I need Episode 24, like NOW. Prince Song ftw!

Okay, LOOLLLL. The math tuition person just cancelled on me. Fine and dandy on my part, but I can't really stand her attitude. Anyway I realise that working life has changed me in that I am so much more patient now. I actually say "thank you" and "it's alright" and that sort of thing when I should be saying "screw you" or "f***" instead. So proud of myself.

I just pretty much had a disastrous tuition session. The student (who, by the way, is supposed to be 17 this year, but she looks like she's 13 years old!) wanted me to help her with this Math question on circles, angles and that sort of thing, THE TOPIC which I happen to be most terrible at after Trigo and Integration, and I was completely stumped. ZOMG. Attempted to try out some ways to solve the question, but in the end I gave up and honestly told her I had no freaking idea how to do the question.

SORRY MR LAM! I do not deserve an A in Maths, srsly.

I should stick to teaching English. At least I know my present perfect tenses and that sort of thing by heart. And this means I seriously need to some reading up on Maths before the next lesson. Boo.

Couple of things to look forward to:
-Virgin sao mu-ing trip to Malaysia this weekend! I'm quite enthralled by the whole idea of this sao-mu thing. I still remember very vividly the picture in the primary school textbook on this topic!
-4th APRIL!

I can't believe I really have all the time in the world now, being jobless. I can just lead my life really impromptu-ly! :D Like today, I decided it was time to do my uni applications and I actually had 3 hours completely free to do it! So yay, I'm all settled. And I'm keeping my choice a secret. :p Do you think I chose FASS or Biz in the end? HAHA.

DETROIT METAL CITY tmr <3

Monday 23 March 2009

New skin, BBs! It's so plain and simple, I like <3

First time in my life I am so indecisive. I can't decide whether Biz > FASS, or FASS > Biz! One day I would think the former, and the next day, the latter. GRR. I need to hurry up too, since I'm going to Malaysia on Saturday.

Anyway...life is starting to get a little boring so I'm looking to spice things up a little. Maybe I should join the dance course like wuyue? Or maybe I should go and learn yoga and learn to be at peace with my soul and all that jazz. Dunno, better go and think of something soon, else I'm just gonna rot and home and give tuition every now and then.

Speaking of which, I'm fretting a little because I know nuts about 'O' Level statistics and I'm supposed to teach that really soon. Oh no.

And @xinrong: I NEED NEW SHOES!!!

LAST DAY OF WORK TODAY, awesome stuff <3
Super uneventful, I didn't even manage to say a proper goodbye with some of my colleagues! Ah well, I suppose that's how transient working life is.

Some things I'll miss (a little): Boss's incessant nagging because it's quite funny sometimes and his funny manner of speaking. Gossiping. Eating lunch at TP and ogling the hot policemen. Friendly security guards. (seriously, I vote security guards the friendliest profession! Everywhere I go where there is one, they will smile and wave to me!)

Anyway, I have now confirmed the theory that jobs come and look for me. Right after I leave my job, I get a new tuition assignment!

So I'm super fretting now, because my SIA application is left undone and there's what, 1 hour left only? Worse still, I'm currently suffering a writer's block. Which is why I am going to take a rest and rush it at the very last minute =/

Wish me luck, mates.

Wednesday 18 March 2009

You know how sometimes you feel like you are a stranger looking at yourself lead your life? Well, it was one of those unusual days for me today. I was still chirpy and all in the morning, but then I suddenly found myself zoning out.

Work as usual today, after a one day break yesterday. Something considerably interesting was how a colleague of mine who happens to be Catholic tried to persuade me into going for Mass this coming Friday. I think I was giving off vibes halfway between showing interest and nonchalence, but then I probably failed because he went on and on and on. But admittedly, I'm still willing to give religion a try, just maybe, not now.

Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun online shopping now. Seems like I'm going to fall in love with it all over again! :D

Tuesday 10 March 2009

Wow I am so glad I emailed SPH to ask about their scholarship deadline; it turns out to be this Friday! o: Luckily I had started preparing for it already, otherwise I'll definitely have to give it a miss. I think I've wanted this scholarship ever since I found out about it in IP1.

I have successfully completed quite a number of things on my 101 in 1001, which makes me feel really happy and like my life is finally moving on.

1) Go to a concert (still pending, and yes, I know, what an ulu gui I am!)
2) Talk to a random stranger
3) Cut my hair short
4) Feel happy about my 'A' Level results (serious!)

And hopefully more to come =)

Okay, I need to hurry up and finish reading Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Woods. It's due tomorrow! >_> One of my 101 is not to chalk up a single library fine. HAHA.


20:56


Monday 9 March 2009

Yay, I just successfully tendered my resignation! My last day of work will be next Friday which is...20th March. Whoopee =D

So I'm going to be free to do anything I want from then on! Not planning to get a new job anytime soon except maybe going into full-time tutoring.

And hopefully I'll manage to get all the travelling plans out and enjoy myself before university starts.

Alright, back to acting like I'm really busy at work - I'm getting rather good at that.

Saturday 7 March 2009

Hello people! (: I suppose I'm more or less at peace with my results now. I'm still not very sure why I cried so hard yesterday, but then it was cathartic and after I stopped there was a certain calmness in me.

Results were almost as expected, except for chem which was really disappointing. I blame it on SPA and Mr Chang. Boo. And lit, which I fully blame on myself. All I can say now is "bye bye" to Law. Can't help thinking that getting A for GP is completely useless.

Anyhow, I feel kinda bad and selfish because I was so absorbed in myself yesterday that I neglected to give people the comfort/congratulations that they needed/deserved. I'm such a bad friend!

So now what's next is considering all my options. I suppose I'm still going to try for Law school, but I doubt I'm going to get through the first round of selection. I realise I really don't know what else I want to do! :(

Decisions, decisions, decisions, all to be made within a month!

Thursday 5 March 2009

Okay, I completely take back what I said yesterday.

I had a total of two panic attacks today, one in the morning when my colleague walked in and asked "are you feeling worried about tomorrow?" (she's my age!) and a second time when I was at a meeting and completely daydreaming because the meeting doesn't concern me anyway and my mind just wandered.

I just want to go ARGHZOMGWTFHOLYSHIT.

If I don't blog within the next 3 days it probably means I'm hiding beneath the sheets crying my ass off. :(

Alright, going off soon to Jove's. I kind of hope LKF calls in the morning to scream about our results. But then again, maybe not.

OMGGGGGGGGGG.

Wednesday 4 March 2009

Surprisingly I'm not as worried about Friday as I thought I would be. I've been sleeping better than I have been in weeks and not a single nightmare, yet! HAHA. Hopefully this is some kind of a good omen. But of course this could be subconscious self-denial too. =/

Work has been quite enjoyable lately, mainly because I've started talking more to my other colleagues. Decided that it's quite pointless keeping quiet just to stay neutral among the politics. Somehow my strategy is working, because I have managed to maintain good relationships with both sides! I suppose the key is to close my ears when necessary.

Anyway, I'm going to quit latest end March, looking forward to freedom after that! :D

I need to start making life more happening for myself.

Tuesday 3 March 2009

If it's even possible, I'm feeling annoyed and happy at the same time. IDK, maybe I was just born to multi-task.

Currently reading this random forum topic about guys taking up a challenge called "100 girls in a week". Super wth right? The things guys do to boost their egos. -_-

Merlion hit by lightning.

LOLOLOLOL.

Only 4 more sleepless nights to go! I'm kinda half excited for it, and half afraid of it.

Shopping at JB was kinda fruitful yesterday, I think I might be in love with FOS now! And yay for the exchange rate (:

I think I kind of want to visit Pulau Ubin next, I can't believe I've never been there before! =/

And I believe I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I have impossibly high expectations. Time to come back to reality..
