On the 29th of December 2008, Hazel decided to go MIA , left hall at 9. 50am and embarked on an emo trip...

First stop was to Marina Square where she had ice cream brownie at secret recipe. Realising her hp was going to be out of battery soon, she switched off her hp and became uncontactable. Not sure whether she had freaked anyone out for being uncontactable... anyway, she's sincerely apologetic with regards to that.

She did window shopping at marina square before heading to esplanade. the tunnel to esplanade. not a single soul in sight...

saw white balls bobbing up and down at the marina bay...
Fullerton hotel. never been there before... haha!

The flyer

i managed to take a pic of tourists admiring our marina bay

durians!

Hazel went up to the rooftop...

topview

closer to the durian

flyer again...

afterwhich, she proceeded on to the esplanade library. nice, tranquil, serene. While admiring the scenery, she also did some serious reflections.

this pic was taken while she was sitting in the library

she doodled her notebook

On her way from esplanade to cityhall mrt station, she met a group of tourists asking her for directions to peninsula plaza. Amazingly, she KNEW the way to peninsula plaza and led them there. From there, she walked to bugis.

Not contented with window shopping at bugis, she decided to do some exploring. She went to arab street and was intrigued by some stores that sold really unique stuff. She walked around looking for haji lane. She had been to haji lane during FOC with her SP because that was the venue of their first station.

she walked around in circles and was on the verge of giving up when she pushed herself to walk further more even though her feet were hurting like hell because she was wearing a pair of new shoes and wasn;t accustomed to it yet, thus leading to blisters being formed. Finally, she did find haji lane afterall.

moral of the story: do not give up. In this case, keep walking...

After exploring haji lane, she decided to throw in the towel and headed back to hall.

went to hall 8 for some emo talk with Mel. Too bad, she had finished her game. If not hazel could support her. Anyway, thank you for being a listening ear.

Thanks to those who had sent me smses to show their concerns. sorry for taking freaking long to reply. Dear friends who had msn-ed me for the same reason.

Thanks to mum for being understanding in the end.

A big thank you to SW dear for being there by my side. hugs and kisses!

I'm truly fine now. Buck up next sem and jiayou!

When one's suay somehow, you just get to meet more suay people to add on to the suayness. Like a mean joke being played...

One uncle was looking at the bus and needless to say, didn't notice i was beside him until it was too late and he bumped into me. It's ok... i know sometimes accidents do happen. WHAT i couldn't accept was he had the cheek to scold 'fuck'. Like i was the one who totally walked into his path. Like i was the one who bumped into him. Like i was the one totally UN-fucked up. WTF.

i was on the bus when there was red light and this lorry stopped beside me. God knows why i turned to look at the driver of the lorry. we had this eye contact that totally creeps me now i think of it... I hastily looked away but then, from the corner of my eyes, i saw the uncle waving fervently towards me. My natural response was to turn and look at him. THAT FREAKING DISGUSTING UNCLE WINKED AT ME AND POUTED HIS MOUTH SO THAT IT FREAKING WELL RESEMBLED SOME FREAKING DISGUSTING KISSING ACTIONS. ( on second thoughts, change 'freaking' to 'f***ing' will be more apt) ya ya ya... i'm vulgar...

And i have pent up frustrations in me that can't be released. It's like constipation. Damn irritating and vexing.

freaking out...

I'm back in hall ...

The saddest thing of all is that i have nothing to do except to fill my mind with apprehensive thoughts of how sucky my results are going to be...

Results will be out in one hr plus time...

Original plan was to sleep and view my results tomorrow

However, on second thoughts, i wonder whether i'll be able to sleep in peace knowing my results are just a 'click' away...

Stuck in a dilemma... (what am i going to do??)

Paranoia paranoia paranoia...

This is going to drive me nuts...

2 more days to my doomsday.

An intense feeling of foreboding...

Recalling how i had screwed up my papers...

Die liao la...

Time to choose a casket company...

Hazel is so gonna die...

I don't want a lot for christmas
There's just one thing i need
i don't care about the presents
underneath the christmas tree
i don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
i just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All i want for Christmas is...
YOU

i won't ask for much this christmas
i don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
Cause i just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can i do
Baby all i want for Christmas is...
YOU

I don't want a lot for christmas
That is all i'm asking for
i just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all i want for christmas is...
YOU

My all time favourite christmasy song. Another i adore will be 'last christmas'. Abit too melancholic. It does stick out like a sore thumb since i'm feeling all hyped up and festive-ish.

I can say... i had the most action packed christmas eve ever. Happy, blissful, contented, loved ... awww... (enough!)

watched twilight today. I'm jealous of edward's complexion. Imagine edward is to be placed next to me, the contrast is sufficient to kill me.

NUS friends have gotten their results... Soon, it'll be my turn too. By then, i shall form this emo league whereby everyone gets down to emo. precious time is trickling.

i better cherish and savour the time left before my results are out.

Christmas is coming!! The festive atmosphere is pouring down on us. BBQ tomorrow!

Yippee! somebody is going to be bring his -------- face along! if i were him, i'll be stressed out. being confronted by a big,crazy and protective family.

Speaking of christmas, i'm craving for fruitcake... and oreo cheesecake and waffle ice cream and ramen. Except for the first, the rest has absolutely nothing to do with christmas. Just me and my cravings...

After christmas, up next will be new year. That's when we bid farewell to 2008 and say hi to 2009.

I'm currently wearing my jacket while blogging. And nope, i'm not in an air conditioned room because i'm still stuck in hall. This doesn't bode well. It means i'm falling sick. I blame it on the softball match. we continued with the match despite the rain. Now, i'm feeling the chills and wearing the ugly green SBS jacket while my roomie is only clad in her fbt singlet. See the contrast...

Even though we had lost the softball match, nevertheless i'm still proud because i think that we had put up a good fight. Today's match against hall 2 was an entertaining one. Our catcher-Joyce was super hilarious trying to distract the batters. Once she exclaimed 'wah! the batter really very tall leh!' It drew laughter from supporters of hall 2 and of course the batter was momentarily distracted because she turned to stare at joyce. Joyce even asked one batter whether she was wearing socks or not... LOL! Joyce also commented on one batter for standing too far from the home plate and the batter actually attempted to move closer. Damn funny la!

I slept just now which explains why i'm still wide awake even though i should be sleeping since i'm feeling unwell... ...

Kudos to Songwei for helping to tabao porridge for me and my roomie. Although he was damn tired, his already small eyes seemed smaller and he had spent the entire day at hall 8 cause of wei qi, he still drove out to help me tabao food. AWWW...

We seemed to be bickering and arguing with each other all the time, BUT, WE ARE STILL LOVING OK!! *burst out laughing* He's the only one who can escape unharmed for calling me an idiot/retard. If any random person tries calling me an idiot/retard, i'll pluck out the hair of the person one by one, stuff his head into the toilet bowl and use sandpaper to scrape his skin. That's how morbid i can get...

i should be feeling sick and miserable now but on the contrary i feel loved. Yay!! Shall continue with my CSI since i'm not sleepy yet...

we won the vball match against hall 1 and i'm totally neutral about it. Cause our next opponent is going to be either the pervertically sporty hall 2 or the comparably pervertically sporty hall 6. So ya... it's going to be GG again.

i'm so sick of sports i'm so sick of sports i'm so sick of sports i'm so sick of sports

I love playing sports but not on a competitive level for the obvious reasons--> competition saps away the 'fun'. Period.

I'm astounded at the speed how kids these days can change their bfs/gfs. Break up liao can easily find another gf/bf.

Call me old-fashined hag/traditional old hag/ancient relic whatsoever. I also think i belong to the wrong era...

kids these days have a more colourful love history than me. AND NOTE, i'm NOT ENVIOUS OR JEALOUS!!

One is enough and i'm satisfied with that ONE! Haha!!

I wish i can go out, savour delicious food and immerse myself into the christmas mood. Christmas night out! ARGH!!!

Date me date me date me!!

Vball match

Today is totally not my day... ...

I slept at 1 plus last night and for no reason, mysteriously woke up at 7 plus this morning...

Had stomach upset...

Had to come back to hall for vball match. Thankfully, my dad was able to send me to hall...

Stupid PIE was jammed due to some car accident i think... The weather was damn hot and the useless me got carsick.

Dad had to reach work at 12pm. So i told him to drop me off at jurong east instead. I got off the car feeling nauseous and giddy.

I heard the train at the opposite track coming. I turned and looked. Realised the train was going towards BoonLay. BOONLAY!! I glanced at the signboard. The platform i was standing on was going towards pasir ris. So i took the escalator down so that i could cross over to the opposite platform. I had to wait for 5 minutes for another train to come. If only i didn't go to the wrong platform...

Upon reaching Boon Lay interchange, i realised 199 just left. Horrors after horrors... In the end i reached NIE indoor court quite late. Supposed to meet at 12 but i think i reached at around 12.45, near 1pm. Before i could catch my breath, i was summoned for warm up on court.

I didn't have time to go back hall to change into my fbt. i ended playing in my unstretchable,hot, un-dri-fit mango's black shorts. Thankfully, it was baggy. If not my movements would be severely restricted.

And then, we got trashed by hall 2. The server was obviously aiming me can! Lucky i was swift enough to avert my face when one ball came heading towards me. If not, there's goes my beautiful face... ...

In conclusion ,today's not my day...

i'm feeling damn lethargic. I pray it isn't a sign of falling sick... If it is then die liao... Next week is going to be a horrendously busy week for me. Four matches in total. I pray i'll survive...

Therefore, i'm absolutely not looking forward to next wk. Just came back home from hall today and will be gg back again tomorrow's afternoon. Really no life... ...

I'm feeling damn sian now.......... HAI!!!!

Hall 14's Netball Girls!!

Even though we had lost both matches, i think they were well played. Our scores were pretty respectable for noobsters who have zero experience in playing netball matches.

This is only the first week of IHG and i'm already zonked out. I'm aching all over and i think the snail can beat me in walking. AND AND AND, i miss home. I'm damn sick of being stuck in NTU!!

Trainings, matches, hall olympiad's stuff, pictures blah blah blah... ...

I totally crave for an overseas trip!! Even a one night stay across the causeway sounds totally exciting to me. Wanted to ask mum to organise a trip. I don't mind going to sentosa although technically it's not an overseas trip. But, i know it'll be difficult for her to apply leave now since the festive season is coming... ...

HAI!!!

Hazel is having butt pain and on top of that, her shoulders are aching.

She didn't sleep well last night. Reasons, she doesn't know. Waking up intermittently to stare at the cream coloured ceiling.

She'll be having netball competition later and may the force be with her.

Pray she won't fall asleep during the match, or get whacked by the ball or trip over her own foot.

My stupid cousin... Haha!
Spastic look

We had post-exam celebrations at Dave's house... Steamboat party! Ate until i felt like a whale.

Jieying and me!

My beloved roomie and me!

Delphi's girls!

Next week is going to be another busy week. Even though it's holidays now, i don't actually have the 'it's holidays now!' kind of mood. And from the pictures above, somehow i think i'm moving closer towards resembling a malay. I'm dark and decorated with bruises all over my body from all the monstrous trainings... Hai~ I'm not particularly emo but i can't help thinking that my life sucks...

It's a frenzy headless aimless chase for ... ... what?

I hate lizards!! Freaking hate lizards!! I can hear lizards screeching right outside the window now!! ARGH!!

Happy Birthday Mel!! The melted chocolate and the half burnt candles... erm... hope you don't mind. We have already tried our best... Haha!! Had fun talking with all my beloved girl friends at ADM. The number one romantic spot in NTU. (Is it?) It was wonderful reminiscing the good old days we had in TKGS and TJC. :)

To Mel: sorry for not being able to bunk over at your room tonight. Can't stay up all night and chat... :( This is because Hazel is totally into the idea of being grilled alive at the softball field tomorrow. I apologise...

On my way back to hall from ADM, roomie texted me saying that she saw a lizard at my desk. AHHH!!! Damn disgusting can!! The moment i reached my room, i stared at the lizard and screamed for goodness sake. Once again, SW had to come to my rescue! Life's tough being my bf... You'll get to receive telephone calls at 11 plus and the caller will be screaming in your ears in this totally irritating high pitched voice---- to catch some freaking disgusting gross insects/reptiles.

The poor bf had to trudge all the way from blk 65 to 66 to help the irritating gf catch the freaking grotesque insect/reptile. If not, she won't be able to rest in peace... And when she can't rest in peace, there's absolutely no way she'll let her bf rest in peace...

Looking on the bright side, just now was the time for the bf to show the gf the macho side of him by catching the ugly lizard. Good opportunity for the bf to show off and make the gf awestruck... The gf now thinks her bf is not bad, quite man.

Anyway, back to where i've started, lizards irritate and at the same time, scare the shit out of me...

I was having this msn convo with this friend whose blog really touched me recently and i was contemplating at first whether to tell him what i honestly feel about him. You see... i'm not very good with complimenting people or profess my profound admiration for them... I mean... it's in our culture anyway, to be stingy when it comes to complimenting people or telling people our true feelings... I pondered for very long. Typed and deleted, typed again and deleted. This went on for quite long until i decided to type and hit 'Enter'.

In the end, i still decided to tell him my honest opinion and my admiration for him. That's because i was thinking if i don't tell him now, i won't be able to die in peace. Next time when i'm on my death bed, i'll blame myself for not telling him my true feelings...

So it was mutual sharing time. We both encouraged each other and we both gained a listening ear + helping hand. And tonight, i'm going to sleep with a big smile plastered on my face because despite all odds, i've told my friend my true feelings. That's what matters.

To live with no regrets...

This afternoon's incident was one of the scariest things that had ever happened to me. Supposed to be lunching with Huichan when my tummy cramped really badly. Knowing it was a sign that didn't bode well, i left early. Upon reaching the traffic light located between tampines mall and the mrt station, my stomach started to cramp like hell and my vision darkened. All that i could make out were blurred shadows. My sense of hearing also became dull. Called Huichan for help.

Poor huichan had to forsake her lunch to come help the damsel in distress. (LOL!!) ok... anyway, back to the point. I had to be supported as we walked towards the taxi stand, although it was just a few steps away. I thought i was going to faint. Fortunately Huichan was right beside me. I swear i would have burst out crying or perhaps sprawl unglamly onto the floor if she wasn't around.

It was an excruciatingly long journey back home. Stomach was cramping as though there was a freaking atomic bomb inside. I was fidgetting here and there. Twisting here and there. And i think i whined like a pathetic creature.

Thankfully, i made it home. Kudos to huichan! My heroine for the week! I had made her forgo her lunch thus wasting food and i think i had terrified her. (especially my whinings...) Hope she can live with the trauma.

Eunice went to the nearest provision shop to buy the pinkish panadol pills for me. On the way back, it rained and she got drenched. It was really sweet of her. i'm so touched that i'm tearing now. Thanks Eunice!

Was supposed to go out in the evening to celebrate my cousin's bday but i'm still cramping. It's defintely not as bad as this afternoon's. It's bearable pain but nevertheless, still uncomfortable. Plus, i feel weak and i get dizzy easily even when i was just climbling two storeys up to my room.

This proves that i have neglected my health... Must start to get myself in shape. This shall be a lesson for all-- please take care of yourself.

The random stumble upon a friend's blog depicting his saddening childhood,

An unexpected turn of the conversation with a friend,

Personal experiences,

Make me feel that everyone has a sad story to share.

I admire their cheerfulness, tenacity, strength, courage, maturity...

And i know that a smile, laughter, joy can be a mask, mirage or illusion.

Thanks to that friend (i hope you know i'm referring to you) for being honest with me. It was really an enriching time spent with you. Brought our friendship one notch higher.

With the encouragements, we shall try to close the chapter and move on.

Life's going to get better.

Like what you had said, it's up to us to tear down the wall obstructing us.

:)

I'm so so so so going to be so so so so busy!!

Ok... that's kind of an over-exaggeration.

On the other hand, not really,since my entire holidays will be spent in hall. i won't be able to have the luxury of moulding at home, cultivating penicillin during the break. Tragic life it is.... But then i'm taking it all in stride. don't worry. I won't slit my wrists or go anywhere near the white tigers.

Next week:

Mon--> joint hall publications meeting on ihg websites and blah blah... which are well ... blahs... :(

Tues--> tentatively nothing...

Wed--> V ball trg. ~_~
At night --> meeting my sec sch's jiemeis!! I bet we'll be up all night gossiping and reminiscing the good old days in TKGS. Haha!! :)

Thurs--> Softball trg
9 to 12pm: training
afternoon: learn the rules
4 to 7pm: back to the field to feed the ravenous mosquitoes again! :(

Fri--> softball trg again. :(

(hazel strongly thinks she's going to pon thurs trg because she won't be able to wake up unless a meteorite strikes or someone whispers she's fat in her ears)

That's just a prelude to how busy i'm going to get during the one month break. I expect at the end of the one month break, i should be fit enough to join titans. Remember seeing the insane log-tossing stunt? never in my life will i be able to do that. Haha!! that's why i bold-ed the words 'should be' ... LAUGH!! (self-high)

How i wish i can just nua and do absolutely nothing during the one month break...

However, life is not a bed (of roses). No bed, can't nua... ... OMG!! such harsh reality of life...

Looking on the bright side, it's time to lose those flab i've gained during the exam period. Time to get fit!

Back to civilisations!!!

I think today's paper was the worst out of all. I'm so going to die for it. Felt pretty awful after the paper. Was unable to summon a triumphant 'woo!' even though it was my last paper. I threw the paper into the rubbish bin immediately upon reaching hall. That's exactly how bad it was. My first time throwing away an exam question booklet. In the past, no matter how badly i think i've done for the paper, i'll still keep the question booklet for some pervertic reasons whatever. Just now, i just couldn't stand the sight of it and had to get rid of it, FAST!

Enough of my ranting on unhappy stuff. Decided to lighten up when i realised that being happy is just in the state of the mind. Even though it's difficult to be done but i'm going to try.

Outing with Para, Alvin and Mingyan after the paper. The moment we alighted the mrt, the first feeling which came to us was gosh! it has really been a long time since we've stepped out of our cocoons. An over-exaggeration but somewhat apt description- we felt that we were finally back to civilisations. Haha!

It felt good to just walk along orchard road and immerse in the festive season.

One more chapter on carbohydrates to go... Jiayou!!

Tomorrow shall mark the end of my misery albeit temporarily. I can pretty much predict that i'll suffer another bout of depression cum emoness when results are out. But anyway, just having one day of non-mugging is enough to bring joy to my life.

Time to get some balance back into my life. IHGs coming, time to get fit. I haven't been running for a LONG time. I can totally feel my adipose tissue increasing in mass and size.

Tomorrow's last paper!! i can't wait really...

Yesterday's night was another round of insomnia. Couldn't sleep and had to drag my bolster down to mummy's room to talk. My mummy's very poor thing... ...

Was so desperate to sleep that i resorted to drinking relax choya which contains 15% alcohol which once again proves that it's not alcoholic enough because i took another 2 hours before i finally drifted off to la la land. Desperate time calls for desperate measures.

Hopefully, tonight i can sleep in peace. If not,i'm totally going to dig into the cupboard to look for the bottle of XO. Or whatever that has a higher alcoholic content. Desperate time calls for desperate measures.

Insomnia sucks...I totally looked like crap for the entire day!

Tomorrow shall be ... *drums roll* ... The day i die and get reborn again...

Mighty shitty biophysical chemistry. Three rolled into one to become a disgusting shit module.

Hopefully, i'll survive tomorrow......

Hopefully, Mr Boltzmann, Mr Coulomb, Mr Faraday, Mr Planck, Mr Avogadro, Mr Rydberg, Mr Bohr and Mr blah blah will give me their blessings... Haha!!

Anyway, i'm having a feeling of uncertainty. Even though i've finished studying, i still feel unprepared.

Sucks to feel uncertain... Shall look through the notes one more time before i meet my doomsday tomorrow...

craziest dream ever

I had the craziest dream ever... No... to be exact, it was a nightmare!!

In my dream, i was having BIOLOGY practical exam. I was supposed to do food test. (something which we had done in secondary school) You know... adding in of the blue Benedict's solution, ethanol, blah blah. Cover the test tube and shake. Some needed to be placed in the water bath.

In my dream, i totally screwed up my practical exam... First, my water bath couldn't heat up. So my solution remained blue even though it was freaking long. Nvm... i just thought i had to wait longer and proceeded to do other parts listed in the practical exam sheet. Another section, we had to cut banana. LONGITUDINALLY!! so that we can see the seeds blah blah blah... i can't remember what. For goodness sake, i went to chop the banana into pieces before i re-read the question paper and realised much to my horror, that I HAD MADE A MISTAKE!! i was freaking panicky... I was contemplating whether to raise up my hand to ask the examiner for a new banana or not... Because i was embarrassed by my own mistake. In the end, i decided to raise my hand and leave face value aside because it was Uni's exam and i rather risk losing face than my grades. I asked the examiner for a new banana and he freaking refused to give me. Wah! Panic!!

Because of my stupid blunder and the plain evil examiner, i had to resort to using my imagination to draw out the banana and how the seeds were located. (like i said, it was a crazy dream. I know how the insides of a banana looks like... Really...) The rest of the parts went off pretty smoothly till i flipped to the first page and realised i hadn't done the section on food test yet... WTH!! I looked at the test tubes in my water bath, still blue and it isn't boiling!! AHHHH!!! Then, i was woken up by my neighbour and friends. My neighbour was getting married. It was freaking 8 am and a bunch of people were already screaming and laughing outside her house.

Honestly, i wouldn't want to continue with the freaking dream... It was damn stressful. Putting the stupidity and nonsense aside, it was stressful cause i screwed up... And time was running out. Couldn;t finish the paper...

I attribute this to exam stress...

I walked into a chair today. It was dark, i couldn't see and ... nothing... should be sufficient to explain. Blue black! :( Hai~

Hope that i won't dream of more food tests tonight...

I'm suffering from guilt and i think i totally deserved it...

Mummy called to ask me to go to help her carry stuff home after work while i was studying at the airport. I was damn tired and just felt it was too troublesome to go and help her. Guess i sounded too agitated or something during the phone call, much to her displeasure.

Back home, she went off rattling that she went ntuc to buy groceries for the family... And in the fits of the moment, she said something along the line that 'studying really that tiring meh?' and 'that doesn't suffice as an excuse'.

Ok... studying isn't physically tiring, it's mentally. But because i'm hooked on caffeine and today, i didn't have my regular fix of it--> that's why i was damn tired.

But i totally agree that study isn't everything although i kind of felt hurt when my mum said it. Nobody is perfect anyway. It's just the way she had put the message across... Anyway, back to the point... I think i've focused too much on studying. Not that it's not good but it kind of makes me feel detached from the rest of the civilisations. I've lost touch on the human aspects. Communication, love, care, kindness, helpfulness blah blah blah...

I'm such a failure...

Time to change for the better... studying isn't everything. Character's more important.

Life isn't a trajectory.

It's like a wave function.

Because whatever you do or the things you think may happen to you,

will be just a probability.

This is what too much physics will do to me... ...

quantum theory, molecular interactions, kinetics, spectroscopy, molecular orbitals, AOs/MOs crap, Coulomb's Law... AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I'm going crazy. Please help me!!

I take bloody long to comprehend wth is going on. My notes super duper gross. The lecturer just dumped one idiotic formula and expect us to know how the formula is derived... That's why i need the textbook...

Still left with spectroscopy and thermodynamics... *sick*

And BS 103-biochemistry...

i'm so sick of studying!!!!

I know things are going to end soon and after that i can rot in peace. The immature part of me just totally craves and longs for a break now. LIKE NOW!!!!

How i wish i can stroll down orchard road and get mesmerised by the christmas lightings...

Studying sucks the life out of me...

Spent freaking long hours trying to understand some freaking equations while scanning through the index of my freaking textbook for definitions. Those freaking page turnings, frenzied tugging of hair trying to make myself understand and flipping through the freaking idiotic notes whereby the lecturer typed 'heteronuclear' when it's supposed to be 'homonuclear' and made me agonise over it for freaking long time because i couldn't understand...

there's a huge difference between 'homo' and 'hetero' ok!!

Try calling a healthy living breathing muscular guy 'homosexual'. See whether you end up with a nose bleed or not.

Biophysical chemistry... *puke*

Finally, after spending so long trying to understand wth is molecular orbital, valence bond theory, bond energy blah blah , i could finally see light rays that travel at the speed of 2.997x10^8 m/s.

Wanted to proceed to the next lecture when i saw the term 'boltzmann distribution' and all the explanations. It's going to be another round of pulling hair and flipping through my textbook, pasting post-its all over the place and puking of blood trying to understand...

Tomorrow will be another round of waking up, breakfast, study, shower, commute to changi airport, study somemore, go home, eat, watch tv, study, sleep.

My mundane monotonous life...

Anyway, i was looking through my cupboard when i found my o lvls cert. I got A2 for physics!! This is like so so so shocking... All these years, i thought i had gotten B3/B4 for o lvls physics. Maybe it's a sign... I don't suck hopelessly in physics after all...

Random pictures... My retarded cousin who's SO SO SO fascinated by the dry ice...

Damn cute!
Eunice and me!

Hazel and Jerry mouse.

The mouse from tom and jerry cartoon

My irritating but cute cousin. So in love with him...

*LOL*

The dry ice..

Um chio...

Another cute weirdo...

See... poured water here and there.

i told him he definitely would get scolded by his mum. He told me 'ya. i know.' and continued playing...

Anyway, he did get scolded in the end cause he made the whole table and floor wet. Haha!!

Now, i know why i like to be home. Because there are so many entertaining and retarded things for me to laugh about. haha!!

Natural selection is a situation whereby a favourable inheritable traits that confer a selective advantage on the organism that harbours it becomes more common in successive generations of the reproducing organisms. On the other hand, the traits that do not confer selective advantages to the organisms will become less common and the number of organisms which possess the unfavourable traits will dwindle. So in another words, individuals with more favourable phenotypes will be more likely to survive. Since, genotypes determine the favourable phenotypes, they will increase in frequency over time.

Well, the point is... natural selection is linked to survival of the fittest. ahhh.... now things seem clearer. The above para is crap. Sorry cause i'm a biological sci undergrad. *rolls my eyes* May Charles Darwin rest in peace and be proud of a bio-enthusiast like me. *rolls my eyes again*

I may not be the fittest but i'm hell bound going to survive.

That's my point... finally after beating about the bush...

4 papers down... 2 more to go. I nearly died from overload of organic chem.

For once i thought that i really going to get depression. Thankfully, All-rounder clarified with me that it takes 2 months of moping around and being depressed before the person is confirmed to be depressed. Something he had learnt from his elect.

2 more to go... Jiayou!!

Biophysical chem --> i so 'love' physics *rolls my eyes again again*
Biochemistry--> tautomers, isomers, purines, DNA helix, pyrimidines, psi/phi angles, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, HIV protease etc etc --> How 'interesting would that be?? *rolls my eyes again again again*

One fine day, my eyes gonna be stucked in my sockets...

I hate to admit this but i think i'm losing control of myself. Last night was a horror. I had insomnia... Now i kind of know the frustrations of wanting to sleep but not able to... i tossed, turned, woke up to study but couldn't concentrate, went back to bed, tossed and turned somemore. It was a living nightmare!! At 4am, i couldn't take it anymore and called mummy for help.

My mummy came and told me stories and pat me to sleep just like what she had used to when i was young. Finally,it was in mummy's chest that i cried myself to sleep...

Everyone is telling me to let go but it's easer said than done... I guess the hardest lesson of all is to learn to let go.

I've changed so much that i can't recognise myself. i miss the old me. --> all the more makes the whole situation tragic.

it's going to be fine. I'll survive. I'll not bow down to pressure. I'm not going to quit without putting up a fight.

time to stop before my mucous drips onto the keyboard and breed a colony of bacteria...

2 more weeks to liberation

Time is running out. i should be mugging. But, i need to rant...

2 more weeks. It's going to be over soon...

i want the soon to come sooner!!

Organic chem sucks. Somehow, my brain just can't retain all the mechanisms and stuff... *stressed* When you're studying organic chem, you think you know, you think you understand. You think you know the basis behind it. You think you can solve it. However, when exams come and the question may ask you to suggest possible ways to synthesise the mootood crap of organic shit. That's when your brain starts to disappoint you by going all blank. That always happens to me... Even though i think organic chem is interesting but then i can never excel in it because at the end of the day... my mind will turn blank.

There's so much bloody crap to memorise. I'm so going to die... HAI!!!

I need prozac. Ya... prozac is an organic piece of shit.

Back to organic...

Having two content-heavy papers in a day is a major killer. I'm amazed i'm still breathing now...

Mummy didn't know i had two papers yesterday. She called me around 4 plus after my first paper had ended and was terrified when i was uncontactable because i didn't switch on my hp. She was worried that i would become suicidal after my first paper. Haha! Eden msned me. Eunice smsed and called me. Even though i was kind of despondent after my papers, at least i'm loved. so, life goes on.

Had my first paper at SBS lobby. I felt quarantined. The glass panels were covered by white papers and there were barriers/demarcations etc. haha!!

will be having another paper today at 5 pm. Govt and politics. 2 and a half hour but i think i'm going to leave earlier because i don't think i have anything much to write about. Hai~ SIAN!!

It's weird how the more i study, the more ill-prepared i feel, the more stressed i get, therefore, the more depressed i become...

Supposed to be doing revision but the definition of revision has been tweaked by Me. I looked at my notes and realised i had forgotten much of the stuff i had studied earlier... Oh freak... So, i ended up restudying again...

Cooped up in the little room. How i feel like dying...

Help! SOS!

Be strong, be brave, be happy and take it lightly...

OMG! i so feel like crying... *control*

is it the fear of failing or i now have higher expectations of myself?

stress

By right, the more one studies, the more knowledgeable one should get. However, this does not apply to me. The more i study, the more i can feel my brain rotting. Like i have bovine spongiform encephalopathy, which is more commonly known as mad cow disease. I'm facing progressive cerebellar dysfunction. (amazingly, i can apply the things i had learnt)

Eevn though i've finished all my lecture notes, somehow i still feel very much inadequately prepared... Oh freak... HOW HOW HOW??!! stress... ...

I'm suffering from another bout of depression again... ...

"Take it easy"

But it's easier said than done...

HAI~ ~ ~ ~

bio is soporific

Just finished two chapters on respiration and photosynthesis. Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, acetyl coA formation, fermentation, light dependent reactions, electron transport chain, photosystems, carbon fixation, Calvin's cycle etc etc etc... ...

Don't think i don't know you you you (point everywhere) are sniggering at me...
It's OK... LAugh for all you want... You must be sympathising with me for taking biological sci...

Even i myself, feel like laughing at myself... ...

I'm so so so so going to die of information overload... ... Two more chapters to go... The next will be on virus which i truly dread studying... Just left it on my table... looked at it, procrastinated, stole a guilty glance again, procrastinated, bit my lower lip and forced myself to look at it again, procrastination won once more. ARGH!!

Stupid virus, stupid me, stupid freakign complicated biological system and the awful names that i have to memorise... AHHHH!!!!

Lina told me she's dying. I told her i'm dying too and she was talking to my soul. Lina said her soul has died. 0.0

JIAYOU!!!

My table is filled with food as a source of motivation to keep me going... ...

Pocky biscuits ( i seemed to eat them everyday)
Camel's cocktail nuts
Green tea
sours unbearables gummy bears from the natural confectionery
water

calories calories calories. Not that i'm counting. Not now... after exams. I must rid myself of this kind of lifestyle. Sedentary fattening mind boggling stressful lifestyle. Got to go on a diet after exams sia... HAHA!!!

I think i'm more hardworking now compared to the past. In the past i was a mojo slacker/bochap/happy-go-lucky/siao za bor. Even though a levels was nearing, i could still crap and disturb my study buddy- Hui Chan. Like no inkling that it's time to be serious and mug...

It's a totally different thing now. For the entire 19 years of my life, yesterday was the first time my mum actually, really, no kidding, told me to relax and take a break from studying... I was shocked.

I like to think that it's because i've become mature and sensible. Was telling SW aka All rounder all these and he provided an alternative reason saying that the reason why we're more hardworking is because the things that we're learning now are tougher and more challenging.

How come no one allows me to indulge in thinking that i've become mature and more sensible?

I just happened to be telling Huichan about it via MSN and see what she said...


[**[A.M.Z 5]**] Hui Chan says:
maybe u r still immature


[**[A.M.Z 5]**] Hui Chan says:
but a bit more mature compared to last time


[**[A.M.Z 5]**] Hui Chan says:
so he still thinks u are immature


[**[A.M.Z 5]**] Hui Chan says:
but i think his reason seems more valid than urs


[**[A.M.Z 5]**] Hui Chan says:
(the stupid emoticon with the tongue sticking out)

WHY?? I not mature meh??

Ok... i need to rant... about the mundane and prosaic affairs of my life... *rolls my eyes dramatically up towards the sky*

My temporary mantra to life is :study, eat, sleep.

Even my mum thinks i'm hardworking now. Like i've never been hardworking before... *rolls my eyes again* which is pretty true because i don't remember feeling so stressed for a levels as compared to now.

Perhaps i was still young and immature, therefore, couldn't see the implications and consequences that entailed. (now i make myself sound so old)

Mum thinks i need to have a break. First time my mum's telling me that ... ... 'Go shopping, have lunch or watch a movie.' Take a break... ...

In the meantime, my only indulgence is to stone...

That's my pathetic life... fullstop.

i glared at the reflection in my mirror,
and looked at it straight in the eyes.
'You suck!' i exclaimed,
so loud it reverberated.
The reflection in the mirror stared back blankly,
evident shock plastered on its face.
What on earth could be done,
when it knew it sucked.
Reality stung and life's a dismay.
The reflection's head bowed down,
crestfallen and in obvious distress.
Its foot drew circles on the ground,
hoping to attain some breakthrough.
Who cares whether the reflection sucks?
Who cares what i think of my reflection?
Which inevitably translates to...
Who cares what i think of myself?
The reflection in the mirror glanced up,
halo of light surrounds.
I saw my reflection smiled at me,
and was instantly infected with a smile too.
Let's not treat myself seriously,
therefore why bother what i think?
I bade goodbye to my reflection
and walked away with a grin.

Life's too short for indulgence in melancholic and depressing stuff...

Although, i'm craving for a break but in the meantime, i shall just focus on my notes...

I'm totally awed by the whole new hardworking me. I'm so in love in myself....

I can't believe i just typed that... guess i really do need a break... hahaha!

Mac's Breakfast

Had Mac's breakfast bought by the beloved All rounder.

Satisfied and blissful.

Ok! Time to mug!

Not sleepy yet don't feel like studying... played games and did some stupid tests

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Illegitimis Nil Carborundum

--> meaning... Don't let the chaps get you down!

I'm going to stay in hall till tomorrow while roomie is going home. It's going to be a lonely night but i must try to hang in there.

it's weird how my emotions work... i'll be fine until maybe around 10 plus and that's when the sudden feeling of loneliness and all the awful feeling of emoishness just crashes on me.

And so, i'm convincing myself that all will be fine tonight.

I'm stressed... ...

BUT, i'm fighting on so that THE CHAPS WON'T GET ME DOWN.

~Hai~

There tend to be this yearn to cherish something only when you start losing it...



It's funny how a seemingly harmless act of overhearing people's conversation would trigger those painful memories that i thought had long been buried deep down within me.



The dam broke yesterday as i was plagued by the unfortunate flashbacks. I know it's time to move on but it's darn difficult to control and stop the flashbacks from coming back...


I shouldn't have gone for a walk and shouldn't have eavesdropped on the group of guys in front of me. Hey! Thinking carefully, i didn't eavesdrop on them ok. They were talking quite loudly or perhaps the surroundings were too quiet and the sound waves just happened to propagate into my ears. Not my fault. That's when it triggered all the unhappy memories...



So, moral of the story is--> don't go for a walk. Even if you die die crave for a walk to clear your mind, please walk alone and isolate yourself from the rest of the world.



OMG!! Now i feel like laughing at myself for being such an emo mootood yesterday ...

Thankfully i'm blessed with wonderful friends. Mingyan called to comfort the emo mootood me. Alvin came up to my room which was a commendable effort on his part. This is because he's a guy and normally guys are at a loss or will become flustered when confronted by a weeping girl. (i banged into door which was erm... embarrassing...)

And of course, thanks to All rounder who was there when the drama unfolded. Thanks for the bedtime stories and hugs. L~O~V~E Y~A!! <3>

Feel like going on a holiday

i'm craving to go on a holiday. Leave everything behind and escape. Find my dreams in the midst of the fluffy clouds. Unravel the interesting things the country offers... How i long for it...

Roomie went home so i'm stuck in hall alone. It kind of sucks being alone. I know it's so whiny of me to say so and it's time for me to learn to be independent blah blah blah... BUT, it still sucks being alone no matter how hard i try to convince myself that it's ok. (I'm not emo. Just plain bored and sulky) I can't create and tell jokes to myself. I can't possibly talk to myself. I'm dying of a companion. even if it's just a presence. haha!! Ok... this is bordering on exaggeration.

I can't wait exams to be over... my life now really sucks.

This uncontrollable urge of me to go out and have fun is killing me. I must contain!!

Quit stoning and let's get going.

I'm happy. Even though stress is still bound to oxygen molecules but i'm happy still... No matter what is going to be happen, i'm determined to be happy.

I'm back to my spastic/mootood/insane/crazy/rubbish/crappy mode.

Finally, i can give a big wave and humongous spastic smile to people.

I can laugh till my belly ache and my toes tremble with glee...

I've regained my ability to crap...

It's not that i can't be bothered but i've learnt to take things in stride. The key is to do my best so that i leave no room for regrets. After which, i can only go with the flow and let fate takes me to wherever i belong.

I'm crazily in love with myself. Narcisistic yea... Must be the hormones...

Oh Crap!!

Oh Oh Oh!! My biological system is in turmoil... Topsy Turvy... I'm having my period again! SHit! The unfortunate friend had just visited me two weeks ago and now it's back...

My back is aching and i'm cramping like hell... Feel like dying... And to my horrors, i don't have the wonderful pink pills at home. Cramping cramping cramping...

My biological system is mootoodly wrecked... How?? I'm worried whether it'll affect my fertility in future. I really want to live up to the government's expectations and procreate to boost the dearth of babies in Singapore. Since my biological system is in a confused state, can i still fulfill the govt's wish??

Oh hell... why on earth am i talking about this?? This is going to be a pointless brainless senseless entry ever...

Looking on the bright side, at least i'm confirmed that i'm not pregnant. Period explains the emotional outbursts i had last week and not because i was expecting...

Time to eliminate the suspects, ignore the pain/cramps and jiayou!! study...

Finally, i can wake up and give a genuine smile that radiates from within. No half-hearted, constipated, tired smile... No wonder people always say that they seek solace from their homes. There goes the saying 'there's no place like home'.

Actually, i had planned to stay back in hall till Saturday to complete my term essay and of course to have more time alone for self reflection. Mum smsed me saying that we'll be going for supper and to come home instead. Guess they were worried i would end up emoing alone in hall and no one would be there by my side to support me.

The moment i reached home, i had a counselling session. I've gained enlightenment. Glad to clear the preoccupations in me. Now i can finally sleep in peace.... Hmm... i always sleep in peace... Not a good example. Finally i am able to gain back my sense of humour.

Sorry for acting like a water fountain last week. Sorry for making friends and loved ones worried. Thinking back, i was acting like a sully, lethargic, exhausted, moody, bad-tempered, frustrated bitch last week. Freaking stressed up.

Even though i'm still stressed but the stress level has been shrank to a minimal level. I'm still physically and mentally tired... But at least i'm able to smile. :) Things aren't looking great now, yet, i can see humour in other things. AND, i don't have to hide my emotions anymore. It's tough trying to pretend everything's ok and hide from own's frustrations from others...

Rainbow signifies

optimism and happiness
My grey clouds are finally gone...

By hook or by crook, i'm going to pull through. I don't care whether my results sucks or what. As long as i do my best and i'm happy. I'm not going to bow down to the pressure and freaking mootood system. I want to be the happy care-free retard!

Finally, i've finally came out of the hole i had dug for myself.

Guess it's up to your own to climb out the shithole.

I'm shit-free.

Yay!
