a little updates (:

seems like life is gonna be just lab and lab and German for me.
and nope, I won't try to work anymore! :P would rather spend the time for more meet ups with friends before flying off! :D

Seriously, looking back at my last few weeks of life, it has been
horrifying lab,
even more horrifying German 6,
inviting friends over to my place,
dinner gatherings with friends,
more gatherings with friends,
jogging,
swimming? trying to be healthier :P
facebooking?,
getting hooked up with lame games like Angry birds? The Sims 3? Hospital Tycoon?

It has been shall long time since I last played games on my MBP (: with 640GB HDD,
Viel Spiel sind jetzt möglich! :D

Pictures below (:

the night of Disney fireworks (:

my dream castle!
we designed my 21st birthday cake! :D
back at home (: playing around with f1.8 lens (:

haven got the pictures of taiwan! with brother! (he is as lag as I am! :P)
last day at MSD (:

I am not wasting money in NUS

Money is not wasted in NUS. Internship, NUS make me pay school fees! Fine, Then I shall take up more modules to make my school fees worth it.

All the four modules that I planned for has been successfully bidded for. Namely:
GEK1542
GEM2901
CM3268
CM4261

Taking a range of modules from level one to level four. I hope I can make it. (: The level four module looks very difficult, not something that I can understand. ): Level 3 module look long and tedious to study. It is a self study module. rahhs. The other two level one and two modules should be alright, even if it is not, I can choose to utilise my last two SU options which will be deemed useless at the end of this semester.

No worries, I have promised to study real hard. Dear will be watching me and keeping me in track. No more gatherings every evenings, no more going out till late on Saturday nights. All that is left of me is Study and Mug hard! Joan Can Do It!:D

National day is just another long weekend to spend time with family (:

The past few days, feasted on FOOD FOOD and more FOOD. Just downed a cup of Ume, not sure if I am drunk/tired/just having Tuesday blues. ): This coming week will be a busy one. All my evenings are occupied once again, don't ask me out people, especially a certain friend, I don't want to feel guilty for rejecting you again! :P just in case you start demanding some form of compensation for your heartbreak. Ya, so in conclusion, Joanqiqi is gonna be real busy this coming week, not at work though, that explains why am I so high after work. :P

Speaking of work, I lost my motivation to learn on my own. I need to find other avenues of learning. I can't be reading a document over and over again for 4 times and claim that I learn something each time. I am sick of cracking my brains, thinking of how to describe what I learned/(work performed) for the week in order to complete my logsheet. I do envy people with things to do. If that somebody has things to do, he/she should indeed treasure his/her fortune to be blessed with duties Despite the task being paper-work-laden, or hard-work-laden, things should be much better than sitting there, stoning, reading story books; for fear that anyone who sees it gets bu shuang, surfing randomly, emailing friends from other companies, and smsing people, all in the name of trying to act busy. Just think of me, and you will realise how lucky you truly are.

Last week, I gave up on trying to find work to do. That was right after my boss/supervisor said, "Sorry I really dont't have anything for you at the moment." ): rahhs to the max. haiz. My immature brain began to wonder, "Doesn't that mean that I can outrightly slack? Since it is not that I don't want to fulfill my task, and I am not responsible. If I don't have things to do, then I shall be given the right to do my own things, and not sit there and waste my precious time." Wasting time has always been one big thing that I hate. I hate doing that to the core, which is why I hated work last week, upon reflecting. Tomorrow, I shall go and approach my supervisor/boss in some other way, to ask for things to do. And please, those people who are freaking supposed to conduct trainings for me, can you hurry up do so. Stop wasting my time. 6 weeks of work, and I am not fully trained. This is one thing that I must remember to feedback to NUS at the end of my internship. Or maybe I should not even wait till the end...

What should I do tomorrow then? Notes are out, should I start studying and reading them(at work)?

I don't understand why I dislike someone so much. Dear, bookworm2 and best friend should know why. I don't like people who purposely oppose and want to contradict me every now and then. I have my point and you have yours, I don't need you to agree with me and I don't want to agree with you either, so just leave it at that. I found myself just nodding away while you are talking and your confusing story bores me. Seriously. This is the first time I am so not liking someone. That's alright, some part of me already don't like something about that someone. People who don't know who that person is, don't bother guessing, don't think you can get it right. :P

Making friends with the other interns, is one of the best things that happened last week. (: (: glad there are some other people to light up my dull life at work! Instilling laughter in my sleepy mornings, afternoons and days. Applied Chem Gathering was great too! It is the company that matters, I don't remember enjoying the gathering that much with some other clique present. Spent a bomb though ):

Just a little something to take away, 上班等吃饭，吃饭等下班。Did I miss out something? Sounds too short and weird. Anyway, quoted from Uncle Say Yong.

Since I am paying school fees while I am interning,

As the title goes, Since I am paying school fees while I am interning, I made the decision to take more evening modules in NUS on top of the self study module and forensics which was the initial plan. Just one more evening module to go, 6 to 9pm on a Monday night. It is a level 4 Core. Yup, level 4. To me the level doesn't seems to make a lot of difference except for the cohort that you are taking it with. Alright, maybe its too soon to make that conclusion, but at least that was what I felt when I took level 3 core in year 2. Dawn was commenting that it sounds like smart joan taking advanced level things. I think she forget to add in just one more word, smart aleck joan would be more appropriate. Hope I don't regret what I am doing. No, I will love what I am doing. The Law of Attraction is powerful, It is The Secret and I faithfully believes in it.

Just to add a little surprise at the end of this post, I might take one more GEM module, provided that I can bid for both forensics and that GEM. Both are modules with high bid points. Together with my Internship, the number of MCs I am fulfilling this semester would be 24 (: Happiness, it makes the money I pay to NUS totally worth it.

another eventful week!

Day after day, there are gatherings and dinner meetings with friends. (: I am loving a lifestyle like this, which is attributed to me still not having much to do at work. THAT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT, how about me not having any work at all being assigned to me? Yes, that is the correct description of my state at work. Joanqiqi doesn't like it when she gets to slack too much when she is supposed to be getting the most out of her internship. It shouldn't and must not work this way. She doesn't feel good that she is not doing anything and getting paid, she doesn't feel good when she there is no sense of satisfaction out of what she is doing. She is one who needs to be constantly doing things to show herself and others that she is useful to the society, and her actions are being appreciated. In other words, she (wants to) feel(s) egoistic at times, and loves to challenge the impossible.

Acting busy everyday has came to a halt, it became trying hard to keep myself occupied with something to do for as long as it takes. Meaning, I would decide on what I want to do for the day, for example, labeling of the files, then, I would double and triple check things, make sure that the alignments, font size, logo size, label size, and every other minor details is perfect before I print it out. Even the task of cutting up the pieces of labels was done so meticulously, that it takes me forever to cut out one single label. Effort was also put into making sure that all the clear folders in the files are intact. As reinforcement rings were not available, I would do it the manual way, paste scrotch tape (the 3M brand, made in USA one) over those torn and tattered holes, punch them manually, and file them back into the files. Some of those documents must have aged over the years as they turned yellow and has a stench of "antique"? Hence, that manual reinforcement rings task would take forever to mend up every single aged documents. As you have guessed it, I am just trying to stall time. Doing things to full perfection, which brings along one dis/advantage, me living up to my old name of a perfectionist - a name which has departed from me for years..

Despite all that delaying, I finished all that by late afternoon. Thinking that I have two hours more, I decided to slowly make my way to the filing room with TWO files sandwich between my arms and elbows. I meant slowly, I tried to take my own sweet time to stroll across the lab, get the key from the keybox, stroll out of the lab to the room, open the dehumidified filing room, arrange the files a little though they have all been alphabetized, and numberized by ME last week. Gosh! I can't even stand my own walking pace! I don't walk particularly fast, but I can't stand slow walkers (reminds me of CupWalkers! YUMS! sorry irrelevant!) I hate to waste time getting from one place to another, I hate travelling slowly, I hate waiting, that explains why I am a fan of SBS iris. Afterwhich, I start to feel the dryness and the heat in the filing room becomes unbearable, I made my way out of the room, and get TWO more files and the cycle repeats itself. There were about 2 rounds of 6 to 8 files. Whatever, call me inefficient, which I think might be infecting my brain cells and making them think that this is the way to go! No way man! I told myself to be more efficient starting from the next day, as I do not wish to continue living in a world of inefficiency.

That was the story of yesterday workload and inefficiency. Today, I woke up telling myself that I need to brace myself up and gain something more valuable than purely labeling of files. So I went into lab, started staring at all the protocols and trying to combine all the knowledge that I gained from my endless trainings and figured out how to write a protocol myself. I did a few pages of my own protocol (they are just notes/methods you should follow in layman terms, but I wanted to sound professional) on how to write a protocol. Am I cool or what? I feel so proud of myself, I analyzed the various protocols, looking up various Quality Standards, tried to figure out how the calculations are done, got my brain thinking hard as a list of questions are being generated onto my protocol. I felt so proud of myself the whole of today, I learnt so much more. Rather than sitting there and complaining of having nothing to do, and randomly surfing around, at the same time being afraid of getting caught, I should have taken the initiative to learn on my own. I know that this protocol that I am doing for myself would be useful in future, even as I am typing this out, I thinking about my protocol, and how I should continue improving it tomorrow. I will try and explore around more to find those answers to my questions. Maybe when my supervisor is free, I can bombard her with that list of questions. As for tomorrow I will continue with my protocol. I will begin with the evaluation of calculations and try out some calculations on my own, making sure that I am capable of performing them. This part is tricky, I tried it once before, but I failed. Tomorrow, I am going to make sure that I get it done, if not I am not going to go home! joking!

Are you readers thinking that joanqiqi is such a sensible and hardworking intern? Just a little secret to divulge here so that I don't appear that angelic to all of you. I am not that hardworking at all times. There are times (quite a lot) when I am just too bored to continue reading my protocols. These are the times when I start emailing friends (thank you to these friends!) with my NUS email, messaging from my phone gets too obvious, so emailing is a better choice. Furthermore, the only email that I can access is the NUS email. (rahhs!! ) which in fact is a good choice as emailing from the NUS email makes it less suspicious that I am in truth "enjoying myself". It serves as a façade as though I have some important school stuff to settle. However, the ploy exposes itself soon after, as I am well known for the overuse of emoticons. Seeing all the symbols/smileys floating all over the email messages, you are bound to decipher that façade, and understand that my emails are not for formal school/studies purposes. Sadly.

That best friend has been telling me that he is busy at work, and I have been replying that I hope I can be as busy as your are. I am gonna tell myself "Be careful what you wish for". I liked that song (:

certain someone seems not that bad after all, stop passing judgments so soon, I am not so sure if the bad has turned good though.

the story behind that little tablet you pop into your mouth (:

After one week of work at a Pharmaceutical Company, it sets me thinking about how serious and meticulous one needs to be when working in a Pharmaceutical industry. Quality departmentshas to conduct checks very carefully to ensure the safety of our customers taking the drugs. Every little step is not to be belittled. Checks are so thoroughly done that every single ingredient, be it the raw materials to synthesise the active pharmaceutical ingredient(API), the crude API, the purified API, the API present in the final drug form, the excipients (other ingredients that make up the drug besides the API itself), all these have to undergo various stages of testing. Failure in any one stage, depending on the magnitude of deviation, would trigger investigations and reports to account for the failure. Double checkings, with initials and dates are required for each and every step, such that no errors are tolerated. They even have special manuals and protocols to follow when washing/using/storing the apparatus. All the procedures they have to go through, and all those mentioned above constitutes only a small portion of the quality control department.

What about the manufacturing plant itself? Where conditions are even stricter as the drugs produced are to be released into the market for sale. Even the storerooms that issues safety equipments to employees are not spared, every single piece of information needs to be documented and accounted for. This is part of Good Manufacturing Process and Good Documentation Practice. This is the power of logbooks, logsheets, and MPS (Merck's Production System, something like the famous Toyota Production System), which summaries the complexity of a MNC at work.

For every action you take, keep in mind that the final product made is going to be released markets all over the world, and eventually someone is gonna take the tablet, in hope of improving his/her quality of life. This patient is putting full faith in the company that the tablet has been produced under stringent conditions with all the requirements met and that his/her health would improve after taking the tablet.

Purchasing a drug is not like shopping for clothes. You will be able to see a loose thread on a skirt, or a missing button on your shirt, but physically it would be impossible to tell if a drug is safe to be consumed just by looking at it. The safety lies in the hands of the company producing it, and that responsibility is huge. Always bear in mind that someday, your loved ones might be taking those drugs produced by the company, you would not want those drugs to hurt them would you? Every little step, no matter how tedious it is, matters.

Next time, before popping in a tablet, think about all the combined efforts that have been put together in order to produce that small little tablet. A lot has to be done. Do appreciate it. (:

the least studies weekend

Friday, dinner at Dempsey hill Red dot. (:
Finally, the chance to go there. (: having two closer german friends who worked there.
Beer wasn't fanastic, it was good, but I preferred Tiger beer. and I insist that the Tower doesn't look like its 3.5 Litres. FAILLLLED!
It was our lucky day, despite having to accompany our "crippled" loser friend with her clutches. Fun clutches! HAHA!
I said lucky, cause our table won 2 $50 vouchers!! :D

Slacked, Explored, Roamed, Joked, Laughed at Scheiße place.
Guitaqr Hero-ed (Scheiße: Mic, SHIThead: drums, Me: guitar) from 1am to 4am?
Siao. pretty much zonnkked out. The coloured tabs falling looks blurry, as my eyes get teary.
that was before we discovered the no fail cheat, and we didn't manage to complete quite a number of songs. Finally, we couldnt stand it and off to bed at 4am! (:
Next, morning AT 5AM woke up to a woman's voice. yeah. Thanks to that Scheiße! took quite sometime to figure out how to switch it off. Managed to in the end, and went off to bed Again!

Saturday, 10am, time to wake up. Had maggi mee cooked by Scheiße's housekeeper! YUMS lo! haha! Scheiße doesn't wanna cook for us! :P
Studied, with SHIThead's vietnemese recital. Throughout, we snacked a lot! (: Scheißechen's dad prepared a cup of baileys coffee! :D nice!
we were muggers all the way till 5plus, and resumed our Banding roles. (:
Ended off with Taylor Swift's Love Story (Difficult level). and we passed!
anyway, I think Scheißechen loves me as clever me figured out how to play his metallica game :P

walked to a faraway bus stop with Scheißechen, quite a bit to catch up. HAHA. it was a great stayover, and we can have one at my place! (: with my M o D Wii (: bring your guitar and mic over ya!

after all my relatives left my place, cleaning up starts, and at night, an old uncle came over to my place for a visit. (: he kept on saying that I was only this(gestured around his knees) young when he last saw me (: I remembers me as that cute little girl (who drinks with her)! haha!

Happy happy happy! :D

): wow, all in one package.

Gave up wearing my retainers for a while, having at least three ulcers in my mouth now.
I will put them back, maybe tonight.

my last minute disease is coming back.
Everything seems to be piling up.
Taking Six modules this semester yet there is not a bit of sense of urgency in me.
Prelab is done, however it feels like something is missing somewhere.
Haven done prelab for such a long time.

go away last minuteness.

can't decide on where I want to intern.
Looking at all the companies again, those companies which sounded less prestigious actually appeal to me more. Except for the GSK goddess! Nothing can replace that.
saw one of the listed companies, it is based in Austria. German usage opportunties! Will definitely try for that too (:

bye peeps.
nobody reads here nowadays.

Buri Cha!

happy day! :D
i cooked my brown rice tea! :D
followed the instructions and the taste was much stronger than the one I had in the restaurant.
added in more water, and boiled it even longer just so that I can make full use of the 100g of buri cha! (:

gonna let stef try some during lecture later. (:
brought a bottle for dear too! (:

anyway, Timetable no longer sucky!
and I accomplished my ten hours of Sleep last night! (:

one of the "nightmares" came true.
and i predicted that nightmare. gosh.
probably this is just a blessing in disguise. (:

ate mac with stef yesterday.
wanted to eat the prosperity burger badly!
to my dismay, there is no Chicken one. only beef.
wanted to buy the Dog's doraemon. Sold out too!
Twister fries were great though! I love the potato taste! :D

tomorrow, 3years anniversary le! ❤❤❤ (:
dear doesn't want to tell me what he wants! hmph!
i shall crack my brains to find out!



okies, suddenly feel like cooking. bye peeps! :D

eleven the sacred number.

eleven. brother's L1R5.
3 points more than expected. more as in greater in value. meaning lousier than expected.

saying good bye to his dream school. ):
I will support his decision no matter what. (:
Appeal for it!
May he succeed.

"Celebratory" dinner at Changi Village Hotel.
had a long chit chat session with family.
Just the four of us. Warm and cosy feel. Simple life is loves.
& we saw chef William! (: haha, the Chef from Channel U programme.
He helped me toast my kaya bread! :D

first day of school.
tiring. ):
only two lectures, but lessons stretched from 8am to 6pm.
first lecture: 8am to 10am.
Second lesson: 4pm to 6pm.
not that I'm staying beside school or in the west, cant even go home, so I had to rot in school.
Stef and I went out for lunch at Woori Nara Korean restaurant tho.
Yummy! :D I think I'm totally exaggerating how nice everything taste.
Especially the brown rice tea. (: I think I am becoming addicted into drinking teas. (:

catching up session with quite a few people.
Kaiwei scared me with a freaking video. which i suspected something was wrong.
Short phone call with weian discussing about German stuff and our siblings' results.
smsed dawn. short chit chat session too.
busy us. ): no time for meet ups. ):
never mind, we have to work hard now!
Jiayou dawn! :D

& I need to start working hard. (or even harder than before)
timetable is shitty. hope that I will have time to handle my 6 modules.
might have to give up tuition. ): sad. ): no money. gonna take up new tuition jobs. I prefer Saturday tuitioning assignments.
Anyone wanna recommend? Emaths/Chemistry/Amaths. (: contact me ya. (: experienced tutor :P ha! :D

sunset in Germany. on our very last day.

kids overloaded!

love the feeling of playing with kids! :D
Mabelle, Malcom, Nadine. and Sometimes I consider marcus a kid too :P

anyway, malcom had fun playing with me today! :D managed to coax him not to cry. (:

it was a little hard trying to juggle mabelle, malcom and chit chatting with marcus at the same time.
could tell that Mabelle was a little jealous when I diverted my attention to Malcom.
Though, everything was fine after a little distraction from her iPhone's cooking mama!
ha, I miss playing with them.
Mabelle's ideas are really creative, she told me she wants to be a an art teacher when she grows up. so cute. (:
so I told her she can teach my kids. and she said, "but I don't know your kids!" in a shy little voice.
adorable girl. Love her to bits! :D

Nadine isn't here today. She is over in Taipei. Flying back only tonight. (:
Miss plying with her too! she is super active! :D
that day before our genting trip, we dropped by her house in JB, and she was delighted! although it was already late at night, she didn't want to sleep and wanted to play with us. She showed me some toys and spoke to me in her, "Sim-ish" language! haha! damn funny! (okies, i like to assume that the kids are trying to convey something to me! Though, it might merely be a wishful thinking on my part.) :P

Lastly, brother's O level results out tomorrow. He seems stressed, and he cant sleep I think.
He suggested playing Wii at this hour. BUT! I have school tomorrow! okies, bad sister. ):
Nevertheless, I wish him luck, and may he get into his VJ la. If not, just appeal! haha, he dyed his ah beng hair black, and removed his biceps tattoo. no more beng. (:
good luck! :D we shall go have a celebration tomorrow! :D no matter what the results are. (:

P.S. talk to my brother the other night. Remembered the fact that I was hoping for a single digit. ): yeah. I was. and he knew. I don't understand how he can understand me this well. (: best brother in the whole wide world! :D

school reopens.

another chapter of my life begins.
(: school reopens, with six modules this semester.
Six, not sure if i can handle them, but I've to.

I would miss the holidays for sure.
Overseas trips.
concluded with the one with dear, bro and cousin.
Genting isn't that boring with their company.
theme park. tried all the thrilling rides! :D WOOHOO!
but i was lousy, ): didn't feel good after Viking. Everything else was great! :P I need to train myself for Viking!!
Bowling!! :D we bowled everyday, haha! (: broke my thumbnail though. But it was a blessing in disguise, after breaking my thumb nails, I could bowl so much better! :P
It's true! :D Strikes came along! :D hee (: I'm good kks! :D
Pool! :D hehe, i'm not bad la! dear and I versus bro and cousin.
Overall, we thrashed them rather badly. Not cause I'm good. But cause dear is good and my bro is damn lousy! :P
Rock Climbing! it was fun climbing up, getting higher and higher. However, when you fall without warning, our life is at stake. Super Dangerous. I was totally freaked out. ok, i admit I gave up the climb after seeing dear flew down, with acceleration. ):
Arcade! played the basketball thing (: I'm good okies! :P felt damn tired after that. due to excessive tip toe-ing. I'm too short. can't see the hoop if I don't tip toe. ;) hehe! but still, I think I am good! bleahs! :P so proud of myself.
4 days of genting and I learned and experienced so many new games and sports! :D great company! without adults! :D
Buffet dinner was super duper bloated-ing. dear ate super a lot. We ate sashimi in heaps! :D haha. totally 值回票价! the Buffet dinner was at Genting Hotel. Coffee Terrace. cousin-in-law introduced us to that. (: imagine a huge food court. with different cuisines, and you can eat all you want! :D Woohoo! (: Fattening, and sinful! :P we sat there for four hours straight. looking at the tables opposite us, changing three times! HAHA! we were that "greedy". All these for about S$20 ! (: we had 30% discount! :D

Throughout the whole trip, cousin and dear love flaunting their superb four word chinese.
damn, my brother and I were totally loss for words. but I'm still A Level A okies! :P

Life was great. I love that December and early Jan.
Time to face the present. Study hard, woodstock.
(: (: (:

life is being practical

realised that life is all about being practical.
So true.
I haven been around on Earth for a long enough time to realise this stark reality of life.
Glad to have someone 7 years older to enlighten me.

Haven been blogging for several weeks.
Last entry dated 2nd Dec!
Which was the last day of my exams.

Today, 31st december, I've decided to blog. (:
Just a little round up on December events! (:

Had been traveling for a great deal in December.
First, to Vietnam.
relaxation, shopping, etc etc.. (But not eating, seriously, I don't quite enjoy Vietnamese Cuisine.)

Then, to KL.
shopping, eating, shopping, eating, shopping, & ICE SKATING! (damn fun!)

Next, an impromptu trip to JB.
rebonded hair, treatment-ed hair, did all the miscellaneous "groceries" shopping, dinner with aunts and home sweet home. (:

Lastly, Genting trip next week.
theme park, casino-ing (maybe!), Karaok-ing, (:
totally looking forward! :D and this trip was really affordable (:.
S$50 for 3nights of hotel stay, good deal right? (:
(yesh, its first world. :P )

This short little one month holiday had been fulfilling.
(: family and friends gathering.
Family gatherings always ended up with people staying over at my place.
Nephew and Cousin stayed over. (:
our extra mattress was being carried out and into the storeroom several times.

Had a Boxing day BBQ at my cousin's place.
It was a bring-your-friend day.
haha. okies, so all the friends came.
not all, my brother's one didn't but he really doesn't have a friend! :P

Had Seven sisters welcome-enfant-home-party, plus celebrate Xmas party.
Attendance was good, but everyone had to leave early, and I was there on & off to settle my Wii problems.
& we are pretty much caught up with watching the Korean show on Channel U to catch up.
Good to be seeing everyone (:
& there was a short NUS gathering in the end (as always).
experienced jiawei's driving, and had fun driving around the carpark. to avoid the carpark attendant! :D

Had Xmas gathering (or rather Boxing day) at desmond's NEW house too!
lots of people, but i was feeling rather stoned la.
tired, bloated and not feeling very well. ):
went pubbing after that at iluma. (:
Had a squeezy squishy car in a BMW.
poor dear dear. :P

Pubbing was fun with darts and pool! :D
sadly, pub closed at 1am. & we headed home.
how can a pub close so at 1 am right?
Bro & cousin was at my place, and they bet on what time I will be home.
Bro won :P

ohhh, and a long time ago, went K box with Kes, Stef and Kris to celebrate Kes's birthday.
She suggested celebrating her birthday :P
Thick skinned one! :P

pictures will/might be uploaded on Facebook. (:
stay tuned!

okies, one short little post about my birthday gift.
Thanks to all who remembered and sent your wishes.
Phone calls, sms, msn, physically wishing, twitter, facebook, tagboard, emails... (:
vielen Dank!

oh, and I have not checked my facebook and I don't really intend to check facebook by tonight, (trying to resist the temptation of facebook.)
I will reply those facebook wishes after my exams tomorrow! :D
can't wait for exams to end!
I have to admit that there is no study mood, and i am just forcing myself to mug on.
Last chance to mug!
tomorrow at this time, I will be at Bukit Timah, enjoying the wonderful korean chicken!
yayness to end of exams!

I will try to upload more photos.
no promises. try only!

oh ya, german brunch at Paulaner Brauhaus rocks my socks! :D
1 litre of beer! :D lots of sausages. Pork knuckles! Bread! Movenpick ice cream! Tiramisu dessert! great company ❤
heee! (: BUT! damn EX! $45++ inflation! used to be $43!
worth it though. it will be one memorable experience etched in the heart. (:

woodstock no stock!

there was this beanie woodstock and snoopy soft toy that I wanted to buy.
BUT there is no more stock for woodstock! and they won't be getting any new stocks!
):
Scheiße ):

should have bought it long ago.
now snoopy doesn't have a partner!
almost all my snoopies have partners you know! ):

Scheiße!!! ):

keep smiling & hang in there.

sometimes i feel really happy.
and other times i feel really sad.
don't ask me why, cos I really dun know.

today is a happy and sad day.
don't ask why, again.
just like that.

i may look happy here. but this is not today. it is just one of those days that I feel extremely happy.


i want to be happy every single day.
i mean every.
i try to be very happy every single day.
but why? why i am not happy every single day and every single moment?

are studies driving me crazy? not really.
and i don't know what is driving me crazy.

i know that are many who love and care for me.
This never fails to make me happy.
every single time i think of it.
even now, i am smiling.

maybe i should think of this every time i get unhappy.
maybe everyone should think of how they are loved.
just that, at times, i will cry too when i get too happy.
okies, i've concluded that maybe i am crazy.

i miss drinking starbucks.
wanted to buy a cup after school today. BUT was too lazy to walk over.
):

back to study for cm2161 and german vocab test.
i did badly for vocab the previous time.
i really don't want to S/U my german...

cycle,study,cycle.

bored of webcasting...

Back from cycling to NTUC! :D bought HAAGEN DAZ!

(: heheh (:
bye! off to webcast!

counting down to end of recess week.

I thought that I couldn't make it, but I am slowly gaining speed and momentum.

For the whole of recess week, the only things that I have completed:
✔ First section of that level 3 pharmacy module
✔ German essay that was due today

Considered very very very little.
German essay was supposed to be done in a few minutes time? I spent more than an hour doing it. 50 words, but I went on to 86 words. I re-checked my grammar many times. Let them be correct please.
Another German HAG yet to be done, i think. From tutorial. But First and foremost, I need to find out where have I written those HAG..

First section of my pharmacy module. Hope that I have done a good job in revision. Don't intend to look back at those notes again before the test. Still have several more case studies to go. Several = 5 sets of lecture notes. HAHA! bless me.

Serious mugging started only yesterday. Today, whole day of mugging except for the normal facebook distractions. and blogging now.

Much more to go. 2 Lab reports, including one killer - Hyperchem (the short report itself is 24 pages! GOSH)
Haven touched Cm2121. AT ALL! I can't give that up although I feel like it. (ihateorganicchemistry!)
Touched a little of CM2161. That's my favourite module of the Semester. Gotta do well!
More to go for PR3101. That's another of my favourite module of the Semester. Will try to do well.
German HAG.
Prelab for next Tuesday.
I think there are certainly more to add to the list... but I just could not/choose not to remember them.

The only way to complete everything, is to not sleep! (:
HAHA! I will try to sleep as little as possible. Drink chicken essence daily.

dinner with dear at botak jones yesterday! :D HUGE PORTION! but we managed to finish. (:
monday, dear treated my family to BBQ and steamboat! at my tutee's mom new place. YUMS* we agreed to go back there again, with my brother. Just the three of us. and maybe with xiaobiaojie and her JJ too, if they are interested.
last saturday, dear made me drink the awful Ginger beer, while I forced Bitter Lemon upon him. :P Went to have authentic Hainanese chicken rice at Purvis Road. Damn good!

Supposed to go into malaysia this weekend, but I think I have decided not to go. ): noTIME!
Supposed to go dye hair soon. But suddenly can't decide whether I should waste that money.
Supposed to be studying now, but I am here blogging!
BYE! (: CAN'T LOSE MY SPEED AND MOMENTUM!

They are so cute (: yup, THEY.
Love them!
