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!

Mr beanie snoopy!

he is waving hello!

Proud that he is a SNOOPY! :D

Imitating Superman kor kor!

i am not fat! :D

see my new reddy house! :D
with graduate snoopy!

new addition to the family!

He is Mr beanie Snoopy! :D
supposed to come with beanie woodstock,
but WOODSTOCK NO STOCK!
yeah, still no stock. my secret plan failed.

nevertheless, i believe that woodstock will have stock one day! :D

Mr beanie snoopy, 小豆豆 (:
is very VERY FAT! (looks like Puffer fish! *quoted from my brother*)
entered peanutsland on the 30nov, after receiving a count down from 10 message! :D
its my birthday gift from my brother! :D :D :D
thanks desmondsuperman!

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. (:

snoopy ❤ me! (:

Don't worry about the day ending today,
It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Picture of the day!



and my beloved snoopy plushie! he's still the cutest!


damn, i want this!

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!!! ):

❤

True love doesn't have a happy ending,
true love has no ending...

uncertainties..

there are certain things whereby i myself cant understand.

heard that German Semester test 2 tomorrow will be hard. ):

there goes my B+...

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...

fly me to the moon (:

time flies and so do I.

Cousins, auntie, uncle, nieces and nephews away for a holiday in Tokyo.
Full of envy!


(oh, nadine and eeyuen is back in Singapore too! Nadine is sooooo CUTE!)

Brother and I stuck here in Singapore.
Brother having O level starting from today.
First paper: PE theory.
also the first time ever Singapore is having PE as an O level subject.
Had a peek at what he was studying, and realised that it is NOT EASY at all!
Anatomy. Safety Aspects on Sports. Sports Management. etc etc.
woah. overwhelming. a little biology, physics and chemistry here and there.
Interdisciplinary. Feels like my pharmacy module.
Hope that he does well. (: the suckiest thing is there is NO TYS. Haha.
Wonder what will it be like.

MICKEY MOUSE SHOUTS, "KOR KOR JIAYOU!"


updates on my travel plans this year end.
Sadly, I really think no more Bangkok.
Too expensive. Why should we travel so ex when we can get it at a much cheaper price next year? ): Plus, I need to save money for my SEP. Don't think i will have enough money. and there is only tuition for my P5 kiddo. No more for the other 2. ): this sucks. NO INCOME!

Vietnam is still on (: can't wait! Have never gone to Vietnam before. HEE :D ilovenewplaces :D

Alrights, back to studying for my organic chemistry. Thanks Stef and Kes. they sorta motivated me to start studying for organic. nope, I wont give up. Its getting better with my Heavy Holy Textbook. I Love the Expensive Textbook! and I know I can FLY (:

*p.s. damn nice song! :D hooked!

so much to study, so little time.

lots to study for German Vocab test.
It sucks.
no motivation/drive to study for it.
):

some pictures (with dear and Asahi) to perk up this boring blog post!


I sorta liked the following photo very much!




Asahi si good. but not as good as Deutscher Bier/ Tiger. But they are different I would say.
Haven drank German beer for ages. Miss it lots!
made up my mind to go for Paulaner Brahaus Sunday Brunch! :D $33++!
saving money!

German language society Stammisch tomorrow.
Sorta looking forward to it. Though heard that response isn't that good.
Nevertheless, I have to make my 8 bucks worth it right?
and there is Tiger for the night! :D hopefully.

cycle,study,cycle.

bored of webcasting...

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

(: heheh (:
bye! off to webcast!

blogging from i780

(: hello! joan qiqi is slacking again!

she has new mooncakes to enjoy too! durian flavour you know!! (:

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!

the cute animation!

I grew richer today. but i cant get those money into my BANK ACCOUNT!! ):
German test tmr. wish me luck. I think i cant make it. feeling upset with myself for I dunno what reason. I wanted to do other things, but the Test is tmr. I should study that, yet, it is not productive at all. maybe if i had done other things, it might be much more productive. What happened to the interest in German. Haiz. ): watching this video really cheered me up! maybe I will be able to focus on my German for 5 more minutes...

Dinner with six sisters tomorrow. I reserved seats for seven. yeah. blur me. i miss enfant too musch that's why. ):

MUST WATCH! :D

She is fantastic! Imitating many singers and even cartoon characters! :D


anyway, I survived the day! so proud of myself. (: only 4 hours of sleep! gosh. ):

no more complaints.. ✌

Joan has learnt that she should stop complaining about her workload.
don't ask her why did she come to this sudden realisation, but she just knows that it's doing her no good to grumble and complain.
That's life.

Plus, she do enjoy what she is studying now. Frankly speaking.
Even lab reports seems so fine at times.
Even if she is gonna get thrashed by everyone in all the modules that she takes this Semester, she will have no complaints. She chose this path. This is what she wanna do.

I CAN DO IT! :D YOU GO GIRL!! :D

❤ Something worth mentioning: Had a greatest day of the month with my dearest him yesterday :D
Great food(from brunch till dinner), Great ambience, Great company. What more to ask for? Pure bliss (: loves ❤

p.s.: xiao long bao buffet with seven sisters(but not enfant) this friday! :D please.. i hope that everyone can make it! haven had a full gathering for such a long time!

♫oh people and I finally uploaded most of the pictures into my computer! Will start uploading pictures soon! :D erm.. i try to promise!♬

on a totally random note.. my brother praised that my nail polish is nice! (black, purpish, pinkish flash.) :D hee (: mama also like those nail polishes! :D OPI does miracles i suppose!! :D

how true..

"Writers are big procrastinators. They find countless reasons not to get started. Even when they finally get themselves seated at their desks, they always seem to find diversions: make the coffee, sharpen the pencil, go to the bathroom, thumb through more literature . . . Remember that you are never `ready' to write; writing is something you must make a conscious decision to do and then discipline yourself to follow through."
(Bogdan, R.C. and Biklen, S.K. 1982)

Easier said than done but waiting for the 'right' moment might take forever. It's better to make an early start.

I was reading the link on how to write a lab report, and this was what is says.
Which I have to say is very much applicable to me. Especially at this moment. Here I am once again blogging about this.

Anyway, I posted my status on Facebook- Sometimes I really don't get it. Why do humans have to do lab reports? How practical are lab reports?
And easily within minutes several friends on facebook "liked" my status. See? Lab reports are a waste of precious brain cells.

Alrights, I should Start right now! Its not quite an early start anymore.

stress starts bulding up.

SAD THINGS...
everyone starts to mug.
everyone gets hardworking.
that includes me. time is tight, and schlafenzeit ist diminishing.
lab that day wasn't fine.
I was late for German for 45 minutes?
How fine can it get? ): I would never want to be late ever again.
German (and maybe PR3101) are my favorite lectures.
Sucks.
and i cant believe that I actually prefer level 3000 modules. What's wrong with me?

HAPPY THINGS..
went over to ION orchard with kesleen to collect my OPI nail polish!
They are finally here! :D
Happy! :D just applied them. (: pretty pinkish red.
Had Gustimo with kes. (:
with a mini chit chat session.
it has been long since we talked.
there is this really heartwarming feeling whenever I talk to saggi buds.
Guess we are both saggis.
And it seems that she truly understands and see things in my point of view.
Kes and I decided to reserve a seat for 4 for xiao long bao buffet tmr.
However, it was already fully booked! ): arghs.. ):
Never mind. We promise to go again!

Dad doesn't want to fetch me to school again tomorrow.
damn it. waking up at 550am is shit.
haiz. it affects my concentration level in lectures.
I am going to down a can of red bull tmr again.
8am to 8pm.
