today flu till very jialat.. using 2 packets of tissues in an afternoon.. some more i am quite thrifty on the usage.. lol.. so late still not sleeping.. zao si..
******************
today on the way back from studying, got to board on the latest-designed train. so excited (but only for awhile cos i got super flu) inside has indeed more handles but lesser poles.. i think is space-wise, is the same as the version before it. if not, slightly more spacious ba. the ventilation/air con is quite good. i don't quite like the colour of the seats. the green and blue are super dark type.. didnt manage to look at the other colour..
******************
i received my examiners' report. finally. but think this time, i got it faster than the rest of my schoolmates when usually i'm always the last to get. haha. this time, the postage weight quite light. and i quite surprised for the thickness, cos most of them are quite thin. i thought some modules should have slightly thicker reports. hmmm.
******************
finally manage to find the death note themes for my hp. so excited!! i got 2 of them, but i preferred the other cos it is so cool. i really like it very much. it is slightly animated and it features the apple that the shinigami - Ryuk eats. ^-^
actually i am also looking for bleach themes. but they are not as nice as that slightly animated death note theme. so i give up looking on it. hee.
in 5 days time, my first prelim paper will start. it's a sat afternoon paper. so sian!!! then, my mood to study for exams is still not here. i have only touched on the module that is going to be my first paper. sigh...
*******************************
dear mood,
my dearest friend, when are you going to visit and stay with me till 2nd week of june? in between that period, i will let you go back to where you come from for a week or 2. i know maybe you think that prelims are not important, but to me, they served like a test to see how much i had prepared for myself. i promise i will give you enough rest and privacy. i won't demand a lot from you. so please, come to me as soon as possible. cos you are very important to me. i cannot do without you.
this 3 days of cny were good and fun~ mainly because i tried new things this year!
=day 1= same routine as usual, got to chat with cousins and see my nephews and niece who have grown up!! 2 cousins facing important exams in this year, nephews and niece - one started schooling, one is getting super hyperactive and naughty at the same time, one started to walk with stability. oh no! i am getting old le. *pout* after that, was quite surprise to see 'botak jones' western food besides my relative's house so went to try. it was super filling. but wasn't as great as what others and the media said. maybe i had too high expectation on it? since it was the 1st day of cny, all chinese stalls in that kopitiam was closed except for the drinks, it was seemed that the people eating in the coffee shop were eating the western food. but we didn't need to wait for our food for very long, about 30 mins, the in-charge came to chat with us after we finished our food, saying that usually there are more people and need to wait longer. asked us where we stayed etc and then said may be expanding to jurong/bukit batok. anyway, next time after school can go eat again cos is near clementi mrt station.
=day2= same routine again. haha. actually there's nothing new la. but i got to ride on a pick-up, sitting with my cousins and 2 aunts. so fun~ and it's super cooling and windy (cos it's already night time). then i was sitting in the position which opposed the wind direction. this made my dry eyes(due to contact lens) drier. i had to close my eyes just in case my contact lens blew off. lol. and my stupid cousin pulled off my hair clip, this made my hair messier. zzz.
=day3= went for bai nian marathon. lol. initially planned to go a few houses, ended up only go for 3 houses, including mine. there was laughter, joy and fun. lol. 1st time gamble for so long too. haha. i so guai ler *vomit* dont even know exactly how to gamble black jack. dont even know there are so many rules and restrictions. towards the end of the day, i was having headache and feeling tired especially my dry eyes. so i became sian-looking and didnt feel like moving my head so just lay on the sofa to watch tv. haha. sorry guys!
*******************
=day 4+5= went to attend makeup lecture. so sleepy!! overslept for these 2 days. anyway, i wanted to say that my lecture room for these 2 days are super duper cold. so cold that i shivered for today!! cos i sat right under the blasting air-con. brrr. affected my writing. felt difficulty in holding the pen to write!! as soon as the lesson ended, i rush out immediately to the non air-con area. outside at the bus stop it was super sunny and hot. at this rate of walking out from a super cold room to the bus stop under super hot weather, and board an air-con bus, i will be falling sick soon. sian. what a drastic change in temperature! today i can really feel that my brain was being frozen and defrozen, those types of expansion and contraction inside my skull and my skull itself. dont know how to describde it. made me feel headache. =.=
yesterday enjoyed myself very much at chinatown, though in between i was very tired and was staring into the blank most of the time. lol. my 1st time going to chinatown after the reunion dinner. super many people there! saw 3 mediacorp artistes there too--felicia chin, zhang yao dong and elvin ng. all shuai ge and mei nv! so happy!! hee..
just now my grandma brought us her freshly made 五香肉卷.. so fragrant! long time nv eat it.. *grin* my appetite is back (hopefully)
anyway, i suddenly recalled that i actually missed alot of her own-made-有外婆的味道 foods..
1)cny peanut puffs-- better than those sold outside cos the skin is thin, smaller bit size, super good peanut fillings.. but she hasn't made it for the past few years.. cos we wont allow her to do.. as it is tiring and complicated.. 要失传了.. sob.. my mum also cant made out the same quality..
2)red bean paste soup-- not totally a paste. is just that she cooked the red bean soup till the state that it becomes slightly 'pasty' haha.. smooth + sweet~
3)red bean fillings puff-liked kueh-- i like that red bean filling.. as usual.. den due to it is deep-fried, abit too oily, but still as delicious.. after she has done with this, there will be leftover of the red bean, normally she will use the leftover red bean to cook the red bean paste soup ^-^
4)五香肉卷-- as compared with my mum's, hers are smaller in diameter.. haha.. different tastes for the 2 too. so unable to decide whose is nicer.. but.. both are my favourites.
still got quite some dishes, which i cant remember..
one thing i don't understand is simply the reasons why my cousins living with her don't like her food. they usually don't eat alot, sometimes they dont even eat them. *pout* but anyway, maybe because of this, my grandma always bring quite alot over for us.. hee..
but, i'm still unable to feel it coming. strange. maybe the atmosphere is not as great as the past years. maybe because i am getting older, not as looking forward to cny as in the past, even though i still want to get alot red packets!! haha.
after cny, i need to get myself to start study le!! my prelims is coming next month and yet i am still slacking. or rather, i can't pull and push myself to study. mentally too tired? maybe.
i missed the days where i can get to wake up later than 8am. for the past weeks, i think i hadn't been able to sleep till 10+am for almost everyday. keep working and schooling. no time for my school stuff. even if there is about 2-3 hours, i am just too tired to push myself to study!! argh..
now i am back again to the state where my appetite grew smaller. usually i can finish a bowl of ee-mee in my school food court. but yesterday, i only managed to finish half a bowl. then i gotten tired of eating it. as for dinner, due to home-cooked food, i managed to force myself to finish it. today, went home to cook half a bowl of the instant cereal for lunch. don't know what else to eat. although i can feel the hunger, still i am sick of eating things. hopefully this doesn't last long.
i am sick of eating it every morning. not because it tastes bad, actually it is tasteless. it is just that i simply don't like the feeling of running a tablet down your throat. argh...
sigh. when will the time come? the time that i am hoping for.
came across this blog skin and i immediately feel like changing my blog skin. not because that skin is ugly or i am tired of it. just that this blog skin is simple enough to attract my attention. also, it got my favourite stars~ haha.
how long will this skin last? hmmm. see whether i got the time to browse through the blog skin webpage and is there any skin that makes my eyes set on it. hee. but i think that will be 3-4 months later, cos that period of time is my busiest time of the year.
that time i mentioned about my first french manicure. here's the photo of it. how long has it stayed on my nails? well, it was around 1 week plus 2 days. it cannot stay long on my nails partly because i need to do some houseworks and also, i am quite chor-lorh.. lol
---------------------------------
alot events are coming soon..
valentines' day--> chinese new year
end of my lessons--> prelim papers-->workshops-->year end exams
i am now wishing for them not to come so early.. especially the exams part.. cos i am not prepared for anyone of them.. why am i not prepared? i also dont know why. maybe partly because i have not started my studies and spring cleaning due to almost everyday work recently. also, it maybe due to i am simply not ready for exams as my brain really sucks.
-----------------
recently i realised my posts are quite depressing. not good. must think positive! ha.
but it is very difficult. as long as i have time for myself. i will tend to think alot. think this and think that, no wonder i am so tired. the point now is that because i am so tired recently, i will most probably fall into sleep during journeys, thus i wont be able to think irrelevant stuffs. which is good as all those thinkings are bad for brain memory.
currently i am at my workplace, waiting for my lunch to come. hee.
i so sick and tired of the days where i have to study in the morning and work in the afternoon, sometimes even till late night. cos, i realised i can't juggle between studies and work well enough. sigh. it has been a long time since i touch on my notes for revision, and now the mock exams are coming soon in the next month and yet i have not started any revising.
but what to do? especially when u are in need of money to do what you want and to pay off some expenses. sigh.
***************************
today morning, i was so tired that i slept while standing in the mrt holding onto a pole. wah. so tiring to sleep in that position. cos you have to take note not to release your grip on the pole, and there were people squeezing around. then, during the lesson just now, due to no time studying for the test, i was there reading the notes instead of closing my eyes to let them rest, while the others were taking the test.
my eyes are super tired. yesterday i was staring at the computer for almost half a day without much rest, plus i am sitting in an aircon room. now my eyes are very dry. blinked so many times also useless. i wonder whether do i need to face computer for long time again later at work.
recently, the outflow of my cash in bank is increasing. this is due to spending on school stuff, cny preparation, friends' birthdays and some stupid expenses which can be avoided.
i am super broke now. there is not much extra cash for me to spend unwisely. i need to think a lot before spending it on the things that i wanted to buy. for instance, i wanted to get myself a new mp3 player since months ago. i think i will be able to buy it if only i never pay for that stupid expense. sigh. there goes my mp3 player. i will need to wait again.
i have decided to go for 省钱大作战!!
1)save more! 2)cut down on having meals outside--if really have to eat outside, choose cheap food or eat in school. 3)no buying of drinks outside--drink own water. 4)work more. 5)stop buying useless things. . . . .
still got what else to take note of? any suggestions??
i realised that i am not as spendthrift as i thought to be. as in, i am doing the third option most of the time. then, as for the useless things, i am not buying them as frequent as others. also, i believed i know how to save money well. how come my pocket still burns a hole? is it because everytime when there is an outflow of cash, the amount is always quite large?
1stly, as usual, i got accumulating tiredness inside me.
2ndly, morning i attended my 2nd yoga lesson, and there we were stretching and straining our muscles, thus till now, my whole body is still aching. sneezing and coughing are painful to me!!
3rdly, went to shop in the afternoon. as u know, shopping=walking, plus the morning exercise i had, my legs were killing me at the end of the day. i was so reluctant to go to bath when i reached home. haha.. anyway, i am still unable to get tops for cny. cos, yesterday the crowd was so huge that it affected my mood and my headache worsened. and becos of this, even though i found something that i like, i don't feel like queueing up to try on the tops. nevertheless, i came home non-emptyhandedness(new phrase??).. haha..
how?? what to do?? cny coming soon le!! next week i will be still working+studying. only left weekend to shop which i hate it cos it will be super crowded.
