We did it entirely by God's grace. Ever so thankful to Him for seeing me through everything life throws me :')


Wanted to post the photos we took today, but the only one I have isn't really very nice haha. Shall wait for Olivia to upload 'em. Meanwhile, y'all get to see a pretty photo of us in a pretty place!


Woke up after 8 hours of sleep, no idea what I'm gonna do now. Maybe I should just go back to sleep and wake up earlier tmr to do my readings after I'm done talking to my (non-biological) brother.

This few days have been nothing short of awesome. Had a great time in SR, it was nice being back in the place that gave you so much to remember. Saw the people I wanted to see, double joy (':

Ona' 21st was really atas. Awesome time spent with the ODACians just talking, laughing and what not. Really glad to have these bunch of seniors in my life. I honestly don't remember how I ended up agreeing to going clubbing with the rest of them after the party. I think it was more of me not agreeing or disagreeing and somehow ending up being part of the headcount. We were supposed to head to Rebel but it was closed. No idea how JunQiang googled and found out that the place was open on Sundays. Thank God for the cab driver. Every other open club was not Singaporean and if they were, it was Gay Night. Settled for Pump Room which was some bar/club, where Daryl's cocktail-of-the-day turned out to be a replication of milkshake. Epic much. Music sucked tho, and almost everyone else there wasn't local.
It's the first successful clubbing session we've had. Those who club have been trying to organize an ODAC clubbing session but somehow they never work out.
There's a first to everything, and I'm glad my first was with ODAC (:

Presentation day for SOC 349 was pretty fine too! We ended up being the most formal group. But in any case, we won Best Presentation yo :D

Although my feet really really hurt now. Mondo heels suck. Nice to look at but they can't provide you with a level of comfort. Wore that pair to the party yesterday and after clubbing, my feet really really hurt. Returned home only to leave the house again after close to 5 hours, wearing the same pair of heels. My feet protested from the moment I walked down the stairs to the lift lobby. I need to get a good pair of black heels pronto. So glad that Mavis was nice enough to take the train home instead of our usual bus route, cause I wanted to avoid going down the overhead bridge damn badly.

No idea how I survived my day with 2.5 hours of sleep, thank God for people like Izzy who volunteered to wake me up. More like they were making sacrifices just so I would go clubbing with them haha. Some people didn't want to go cause they had work today.

Daryl: work is an excuse.
me: is school an excuse?
Daryl: aiya, school just go sit for 3 hours only!
me: but I have a presentation tmr!
(silence)
Izzy: okay what time do you need to wake up? I don't sleep, I wake you up!

So thankful for nice people like them. Uber high after leaving the club, but when I got home I sprawled across my bed, uber reluctant to get into the shower. And I remained high the entire time I was in school, I really pity my group mates haha. I think it was more of the tired-high stage that I always find myself in.

Not really tired now but... I think I should take a nap. Else I won't be able to survive tmr.
Goodnight folks!

The annoying moment when you've studied so hard but forgot the concepts once you look at the questions. fml eh those questions were the bulk of today's paper. Screwed up my grades big time AGAIN. I studied this time round yet I did slightly worse. What is this, seriously.
Nevermind, there's still Test #3.

Apart from all of that, today's a happy dayyyyyyyyy!
Crashed the other SOC 349 class today for like 1 min or so just to say hi haha. Didn't intend to enter, but Sandra asked me to since there was an empty seat next to her. Been so long since I last saw everyone! (:

SOC 349 was hilarious. We went in early with every intention of doing our project. Played a game for the first presentation, we were supposed to crack some code. Tried using Wingdings, but the group used some chim font that I didn't have. But we still won muahahaha. With the help of many many many groups.

"who has F? we need U also."
"and C!"

HAHA wasn't intentional but.... It just happened.

Oh and we finally got our bonus mark! After 3 weeks. We were positive we were the best, but Adrian Tang didn't mention anything about the bonus marks. So we asked Edwin, since apparently the leader has the autonomy to decide. Thought he'd tell Adrian, but that fella conveniently left after class -.-"
Confirmed details about the research report with Adrian, told him about the marks and he said he'd give it to us muahahahaha. And we indirectly found out that we were actually accessed on the first day of class when we did the Introduction Presentation. The fact that we were scheduled to present first on both occassions ain't a coincidence. He wants us to set the standards for the class. Like whuttttttt.
And. Epic moment.
Adrian: Oh one more thing, the attire for the presentation... Needs to be formal... (voice trails off as he looked at us. We were all in t-shirt and shorts HAHA)

Yay free Chicken Rice from Edwin! Hahaha, 'The Edwin Show'.

Mad week's finally over!! Although Test #2 was superduperultramega annoying. And saddening.
I've been happy the entire week actually, in spite of the madness. Teehee. SR tmr for Will Run, then it's Ona's 21st on Sunday. Research Presentation on Monday followed by PSC 104 dinner! There's another gathering in between actually, but I'm prolly skipping it.

Dear God,
Thank you for everything. And I really mean everything. :D

I've learnt my lesson, I'm not gonna take 4 mods in Summer ever again. @savetheempty was right. It's a bloody nightmare.

When I made the decision to have my current timetable, I knew that I wouldn't see my friends at all these semester. Different lunch breaks, different classes.. But I didn't know how hard it would be being away from every single one of your friends, really. At least this semester is only 6 weeks long. If it was Spring or Fall I think I'd just die.

Never have I been so grateful for iPhone's hotspot function. Never. SIM's wifi is bloody screwed, seriously. It fails just as Add/Drop is about to begin. As if that's not enough, the damn UB portal hangs. I took 5 mins plus to proceed from step 2 to 3. Thankfully I was smart enough to use two browsers concurrently. I freaking witnessed the green circle turn into a blue square twice. Imagine the heartache and trauma. Urgh. In any case, I'm still thankful that I managed to get SOC 309 and SOC 371 :')

Although sad to sad, the happiness ends here. Encountered some selfish bitch during add/drop, and I lost both mods in the process. Long story cut short, she got her desired slot while I got nothing cause she had her own notions of add/drop which includes the other party dropping first and her dropping the module after she sees the open slot. And you get informed of her drop only after everything else is done, so essentially your slot gets left vacant for a period of time. You can fill in the blanks. Oh and she held on to the other module I wanted so badly without informing me. I dropped it alrdy, fyi. Someone took her slot and she decided not to drop it for me afterall. And she never mentioned dropping one module at a time. Someone needs to teach her that the world doesn't revolve around her, seriously. Angsty max. Whatever happened to fairness and equality? Some people should just burn in hell.
I was kinda surprised that word travels uber fast. So many people asked me about it the next day, in spite of the fact that only three people knew about it from me. Thanks for the concern y'all. Looking back, I feel kinda mean for ruining her reputation.

3 weeks into the semester and I really can't wait for it to end. Although that'll mean I won't get to see my eye-candy 3 times a week heh. I'd say that it was the highlight of my entire semester, really. Recently found out that he had 2 modules similar to me next semester (make that 1 after i lost one of them during Add/Drop) but he's dropping them :(

ANYONE WHO HAS SOC 314 AND WANTS TO DROP IT, PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I'LL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. I'D PREFER B, BUT HAVING A IS BETTER THAN NOT HAVING IT.
Or if you know someone who wants to drop the module, let me know please! I really want this module damn badly.

Of all periods, my body chose to collapse when I"m so swamped. Not funny. Woke up this morning feeling worse than ever; so far I've skipped 2 project meetings just so I can have that extra 1-2 hours of sleep. And I totally KO-ed last night while taking a supposed nap. Need to get well soon cause this week is just a total nightmare. If there's anything I really detest about being sick, its the fact that I'm freaking perpetually sleepy. And my eyes always hurt.

This is total madness. And it's not like I'm performing well to begin with.

As if I wasn't demoralized enough, I realized that I really did very badly in comparison to others. 人逼人, 气死人. True to a certain extent, but then again it helps you to push your limits and achieve greater things.

I can get through this next week. I know that with His help, everything will be possible (:

Was looking through photos on Facebook for one to submit to my Prof tmr, and I ended up browsing through old photos. No idea why I burst out laughing when I saw this.

Nervous and apprehensive. I'm glad things started out on a good note though, thank you Jesus! :) But sometimes I still feel isolated. I guess I'm too used to seeing my group of friends during lessons and somehow it just feels damn weird not seeing a single one of them. And it's gonna be like this for the next 5 weeks. The requirements for SOC 211 are freaking intimidating btw. Worse than PSC 104 I swear. At least it's something I'm interested in. And SOC 349's syllabus is retarded. It states that there's a Midterm but he says it's not an exam. Best of it all? "additional readings are not needed, they're just placed there to make the course syllabus look more interesting." ._.

That aside, I'm seriously wondering how someone can see all his sisters at home instead of school and not make the connection that it's Youth Day so kids have no school, hence it'll be a futile trip back to SR. Thank God for someone (Abbie I think) who pointed out that it's Youth Day today. Otherwise....

And I realized I have a sudden fetish for red. He was looking for shoes and I subconsciously pointed out MANY pairs of reddish maroon shoes.
Oh and we bumped into the stupid bitch @savethempty. Jumped when someone randomly called (okay more like shouted) my name as we were walking past this shop at Cine. Apparently so did he. The woman asks weird questions, period. No idea why but I had a feeling I'd bump into her somewhere esp since she bolted out of class as soon as we were released. Maybe I am psychic after all. Y'know, I briefly mentioned the CHC incident in my Final Term essay for PSC 104, and less than 36 hours after submitting my essay, news of the arrests broke out.

Anyway I'm convinced that I have a sad life. I have no affinity with nice shoes, seriously. I saw this uber pretty pair of shoes at Mitju but guess what, only big sizes were left. Asked if the branch at Plaza Singapura carries my size, but apparently that branch doesn't even carry that design. D: For those of you who have gone shoe-hunting with me, y'all know how freaking fussy I am about shoes. It's uber rare for me to find shoes that are nice and that I cannot find fault with. Sadly, when I do, this always happens. Not the first time, and I'm guessing it won't be the last.

Spiderman was good tho! Not uber fantastic but it ain't bad. Visa Paywave rocks btw; 1-for-1 tickets at GV. And the snail has weird logic. I used my card to pay and got us the discount, hence my ticket is free. Whuuuuut? Everytime we share a drink, I always have the urge to pee during the movie. Second time this has happened, I think it's a curse haha. Retarded shit.

And the boy has an obsession with macarons after he ate his first one on Saturday. Said I wanted ONE macaron from Pique-nique and he ended up buying a dozen. Madness I swear.

Happy day nonetheless! ☺ And I think I should just blow dry my hair now, else the chances of me waking up late tmr're gonna be damn high.

totally in love with this fish-tail maxi dress, even though it's $45! but it's a tad too loose. There're only M and L left instore, and I think I need S. Should I take the risk and buy S online? Everyone who I showed the photo to said it's nice/looks nice on me; even N who said that he can't appreciate these kinda things when I first told him about it.

Since we're on the topic, sales are BAD. Like seriously. New Look had $20 off storewide, with a minimum purchase of $60. No idea why I decided to step in there. Just because of the discount, I considered several items that I'd usually put back on the shelves once I looked at the price tags.

Walked out with a high-waisted shorts and a cardigan. Fell in love with the former at first sight. Had a hard time thinking if I should get the latter, especially since I was getting it partially only because I had to spend $60 to get the $20 off. Come to think of it, maybe I should have gotten another pair of shorts instead (which I put back on the shelf 'cause I felt that I could get smth really similar at F21 for a cheaper price and with a better cut).

I guess it was really an impulsive buy. Just when I told myself that I need to stop shopping. But then again, I'm really really thinking of that dress. Its been ages since I last saw something and really really wanted it. Worst thing is that this dress is (to me) kinda expensive, yet I still fell head over heels in love with it. One of the ultra rare times that I'm willing to spend so much on something.
How now, brown cow?

tonight's one of those days that I feel like mass uploading photos, so here goes!
