2 weeks Anniversary

In a blink of an eye ( 瞻下眼) it has already been 2 weeks .... I have to say our relationship is developing quite slowly .... maybe a little too slowly ....lol .... guess we were so busy with other activities after all .... but we already saw this coming before we started this semester .... One thing I have to say is that she really made an effort to spend time with me .... I am NOT BLIND ... some of the things you did I can see .... just keeping my gratitude to myself ...

I think I brought a joke little bit too far today .... I think she is giving me silent treatment ... the most 绝 punishment ... haih .... Blame the mouth la .... hope she forgives me soon ...lol

Enough about her, my event is going to be held next MONDAY and TUESDAY !!! Lately everyone seemed really on fire ... yesterday we stayed up to 1am for our event and I didn't know how on Earth we can all get things done within such short amount of time .... and our Chairperson 好识做人 ... belanja us McDonald's after our meeting ....

Working has never been better. My 'kepo' personality definitely made it a good place to work ... I eavesdropped on the professors' personal kepo stuff .... no stress at all .... plus I got to use some of the time for revision .... never found a better job than this .

Espanol is getting more interesting .... starting to learn how to read out loud Spanish words .. every time I say 'ge- or gi-' my phlegm always feels like coming out of my throat .... 'rrrrrrrrrr' was the best ... my tongue can literally flutter faster than a snake ........can't wait to get better at this and start speaking to people in Espanol .

Study wise, since I went easy on my Academic Units this semester ( thanks to exemption ), I prety much coping with it well despite all the things that are going on simultaneously.

Got a new room mate. A temporary one of course, may be here for almost a month. But I realise a big packet of cigarettes on his table. and it has been torn open .... Doesn't sound good huh ? ... Good thing is ... he doesn't smell after-smoke so far .. but I am yet to gather my guts to confront him ... Hoping for a NORMAL room mate kononnya ...

Volleyball was okay. My team members ( all Singaporeans ) are being very supportive towards everyone, even though it is giving me muscle ache for at least 3 days every week. The endorphin boost was worth it.

I am still keeping my 1 week 2 hours grand piano session so far. Simply because I need it. Working on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata First and Second Movement ... I can actually hear Celeste saying " What la ?! These 2 movements Grade 6 standard only ... sight read also can ...." . while I am typing this ... Well , I am still struggling to memorise the first movement. Chords are too similar and the progressions are quite confusing ... Hopefully with my short term memory loss I can get it done by July 2010 ....

OK ... you technically know how my life in NTU is going now ...

ANTM --- BNTM ??

ANTM cycle 14 is taking too long ... I loved last season Nicole but now I am bored to death already ... So I tried to watch BNTM ( Britain Next Top Model ) .... of course not as dramatic as ANTM ... less cat fights ....photoshoots also not as extreme .... but LOVE the accent .... within 2 weeks I have finished 2 cycles already ... Here are my few favourites from Cycle 1 and 2 ...

Lianna ( Cycle 2 winner .... )

Lucy Emily ( Cycle 1 winner ) .... This picture isn't her best shot ...
haven't found the better ones yet ...

Abigail ( Cycle 2 runner up )

Piano Practice

Remember that Japanese girl I posted up September last year ? She was playing Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement ... the one who Celeste thought was freaky and scary ... Well , after 4 months of practice, this is my progress ..... Feel free to comment k ?

Btw, the video frame is slightly slower ( bad webcam .... ) , so the fingering won't match the song exactly ...多多包涵 ...

Screwed up ...

Lately everything just doesn't seem to go well ... sad ...

1. Yesterday's volleyball practice was a mess. I lost control over the ball ... I think our coach's throat almost fell out of his mouth .... When we split into small groups and played against each other , again I caused my team to lose .... we ended up doing 50 push ups as punishment .... yesterday I was drained off every bit of energy left in me ... today was worse ... my arms and thighs were giving me a tough time ... I won't count on tomorrow getting any better anyway ...

2. My club event will start in 2 weeks time. So much to be done. Some of the committee members aren't as committed as I hoped .... ( maybe I am comparing with Leo Camp ... ) .... I was at the edge of giving up but thanks to my girlfriend I think I am going to start picking up the slack ...lol ... still got hope I think .... But there is a price, Zhi Mei and Suet Yee are coming to Singapore this weekend and I don't think I can spend much time with them ... So pai seh .... Never mind , I send Wei Han as my replacement ...lol

3. Studies wise wasn't so bad .... still can catch up so far BUT my laziness is coming back to haunt me .... everyday computer games or Britain Next Top Model only ( still waiting for ANTM ... ) .... sad ...

4. She asked me a question today and I think I answered very poorly .... I give myself a C .... maybe a C+ la ....there is so much I need to learn about girls ...... sad ..... :(

Surprisingly , I kind of like my job .... it is as a receptionist of course ... 50% of the time I will just sit at the counter studying ..... at least I couldn't go MSN or anything so absolutely 100% attention ...Lecturers pass by all the time . I usually just catch them and settle my doubts there ... pretty convenient huh ? I guess this job benefits me more than I thought .... Plus since most of my colleagues including the permanent staffs there are female , they are so 'kepo' ... joking around all the time ... totally not what I expected in an office ... at least the office is now a better place to work ...

Thank goodness I had more free time today. 2 hours with the grand piano worked like a miracle ....I am finally using piano for good ...lol ...

Tomorrow is going to be a long day ... 6.5 hours of class with a handicapped body ....

1 week memorial ....

Yer ... sounds so dull .......

Anyway , believe it or not . We have survived a week ... minor arguements here and there but mostly it was wonderful ...hopefully there will be more weeks to come ... maybe months ..... years ?????? ....... hmm .... we'll see ......

I had my first Spanish class today ... my lecturer is from Spain ..... Spanish women will never let anyone down ...... even in her forties , she still looked amazing ...... HOT !!! ( hopefully this message doesn't go to the unintended ones .... lol ) ....... It was a basic introduction .... Basic words .... The first sentence we learn was 'te quiero' ...... will come in handy though ....

Love the class ...... freaking out abot the exam ... it will affect my overall grades ...... I don't do things I am not confident in usually ..... and this is a BIG step ........

Today's class sort of made me want to go Spanish-speaking countries ... preferrably less developed countries .... Mexico , Peru or even Argentina .....so ....... start SAVING !!!!

Second day at work ...

Today I was scheduled to work 2.5hours ... and best of all ... no lesson for me today .... I failed to get music after all .. it's full ady ...that gives me more time for others la .... trying to be optimistic here ....

Work was terrible. Remember yesterday I overheard my superior talking about the mouldy filling room ... and they were trying to get someone to clean the fungus ... well , lucky me ... they called me to do it .... 2 hours with nothing but spores , hyphae , propagulus , conidia .... the skin on my palm is still peeling off now .... haih ...

Good news is .... the dateline has reached. And it's a yes .... happy me ....ok , probably should stop here ...

First day at work

Today my work officially started ... and this job is actually what I have been dreaming to become all along ... an OFFICE BOY !!!!

I was given a 3-hours slot today ..... 3 x 7 = 21 .... means can eat 4 McD meals ady ... wa ... but must keep reminding myself the money cant spent ... need to go for exchange programme ... we'll see how far can I hold myself together before I spend the money ... lol

Basically my job is at the receptionist desk. Pick up the phoce ... get the mails .. help my superiors to post their mails ... do photostating ... filling .... yawn ... boring ... filling alone took me 2.5 hours today .... guess what ? I overheard they are gonna do a filling maintenance soon .. means MORE WORK !!! ... hopefully it kena other people's time slot ... lol

One good thing is when there is nothing to do, I can check emails and even study .... hopefully my performance is good enough to keep this job till year 4 ...

Fingers crossed. Wish me luck.

Interesting day ...

I have decided to go public after all .... for those who know ,you don't have to hide anymore ... for those who don't ... this is something extra going on in my life ....

Few weeks ago , I asked this gal in my class out .... like a date la ... and she RELUCTANTLY ( as I sense ... ) agreed ... well ... today is the big day ....

Thanks to her emergency meeting , we had to cut it short ... just enough time for us to have lunch and talked .... talked as in few hours talk ... thank goodness the drink was bottomless ... or else drinks itself would have cost me a fortune ....

This date wasn't in vain , I knew so much more about her than before ... I think I am finally starting to have a grasp about her ... The most unbelievable thing was I paid for the meal ( even though she tried to do dutch ... ) ...that's how special she is ... but this only happens on the FIRSTs.... I specified .. or else I can quit uni and start working to pay my debts off ....

But somehow we came to a conclusion to wait .................

............ PAUSE ................

yup .... wait ................ she needed more time to think .........

................. LONGER PAUSE ...................

Good thing is she gave me a date in which she will give me an answer .... hmm .... at least I have some comfort knowing that how long exactly I needed to wait ....

Fingers crossed . Wish me luck.

Got it !

After all the restless hours of job application and certainly a huge favour from a senior, I finally got a job in NTU .... Wa ... feel so relieved right now ... now I can afford some upgrades in my life ... I can add on some peanut butter to those plain, white bread that I am having ...lol

Days left to semester 2 : 2

Holiday is almost over ...

5 weeks of semester break is coming to an end soon .... This truly marks the end of the first semester .... Everything happened so quickly .... from taking A level results to being rushed to NTU and then exam .... results .... and now starting another semester .... Out of all this chaos , I actually managed to enjoy myself a bit ( thanks to those who visited Singapore and the friends I met in Singapore ... ).

Much is ahead of me next semester . Not only am I attempting more Academic Units this semester , I am planning to work and while trying to cope with all these I need to find time for the special ones .... sounds demanding yet it might turn out to be very interesting ... I bet this semester is going to be over more quickly ....

Days left in Malaysia : 2
