Alice

I've finished my first e-book! Pride and prejudice was good:) I feel more inclined to using long flowerly sentences now! haha i wonder why people spoke that way in the past... like every thing you said had to be peppered with polite phrases even if you didn't want to be civil. 

anyway! i downloaded my next read - Alice in Wonderland! :) realised i never read the original by lewis caroll, only watched movie versions of the book and i think read an abridged version... if only i could dream like Alice... but then i wouldn't want to wake from such fantastic fantasies.

The bicycle lock's been broken and changed by my bro!! i shall find a day which i'm going home straight from work and start my cycling routine:)

i need my exercise!

downloaded this e-book from samsung apps last night (when i was supposed to be marking, but oh well), chose a classic - pride and prejudice. yes, i've never read it (hears the curses from my very lit-y friends) but i shall take my time. the first 4 chpts are very witty and the book seems promising. definitely not as painful as my A level classic - great expectations! totally fell asleep. never will be able to finish it in like a month.

anyway, i figured that i really need to start exercising regularly again! it's for health reasons i assure you. i had such excruciating menstrual cramps today i could barely stumble to class-.-'' yes, horror of horrors i got my period on the day which i've the most lessons lined up for me. anyway i only started getting bad cramps when i stopped training, it gets worse when i'm not active. like it's either no cramps or it's almost crippling. warm water helps and i refuse to take panadol (long term side effects) but i think exercise is the way to go. 

OK now to get my brother to break that bike lock!!

mini diary

i must apologise for neglecting my poor blog!! i've been using the mini-diary in my phone to record incidents or thoughts daily, either at the start or end of the day, so there's little motivation for me to re-hash whatever i've written. but the phone diary has a limit of dunno how many lines so i can't ramble much. and i've been trying to upload it to blogger but the best i can do is upload the whole thing as an image to FB. boo:(

started using the 40-day devotional, it's quite focused and insightful. will start this discipline again, it's smth i must work on because i've been putting it off too long!! AJA AJA FIGHTING!

oh. and need to find time to excercise again...

NEW PHONE

introducing.. the SAMSUNG WAVE!!! woooooooooooooooh. hahah yes it's a sort of iphone rip-off but i think it's pretty cool!!! it's seriously the nicest most expensive phone i've ever gotten. (i'm happy as long as the claim goes thru HAHA)

gonna get a screen protector then it's good to go! and i dropped it once already:( but it's fine!!! very hardy. hehe. better send in the warranty tmr.

EXCITED MUCH

in case the sms/tweet/fb update didn't reach you, I GOT INTO NTU BIOSCIENCE YO!!!!! received the letter by post on monday:)

talk about answered prayer:) it makes the tears from the past few months so irrelevant suddenly. i'm really pretty ecstatic! oh and taariq got into UNSW medicine! it's like double celebration:) even tho it means he'll be leaving for years and years:/

now i'll be settling lots of admin stuff for uni, and buying stuff too! need to use up my LDS money from MOE before i send in my resignation. hoping i can get a PDA phone or at least an iTouch (cuz my iPod's busted, but so is my phone). yupp. will do some serious shopping over the weekend! hehe:D

aniyohaseyo!

just came back from shermy wormy's 21st bday party! (daryl's such an efficient photo uploader!) THEME: EVERYTHING KOREAN! it was a really nice simple dinner-then-games prog, with nice personal touches (our on nametags in korean, prepared slots for us to write on her bday card) and it was a small comfortable group la. like bout 20 ppl, and we had a blast!! thanks to vee's hilarious games and everyone being so sporting. oh and the food was surprisingly awesome! i didn't know they could cook so well (one of the cooks was my sister haha, which explains my wonderment). HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERM:)

tmr no sch cuz youth day holiday.. going to meet gwen at carl's junior at big splash to do marking!!! hehe. seriously need company to get me motivated, even tho i know i'll suffer if i keep procrastinating. must faster clear!!!!

things i've been dying to tell you all week!

Term 3 Week 1 was a blast! i mean it literally, as in, it was so packed my brain's all saturated with stuff i wasn't able to pen down cuz i was coming home so late and had to wake up so early. YES i forsook fb for a whole 3 days! HAHA. seems like forever (i know, terrible right) and i'm blabbering now cuz i haven't blogged for that long.

first things first! 

UPDATE: 

tues interview went well! it was this nice caucasian lady interviewer, an assc prof, who was friendly and didn't make me more stupidly nervous than i already was. she asked general guiding qns which weren't annoyingly vague (e.g. tell me about yourself) nor unreasonable (e.g. name the ethical issues surrounding the Human Genome Project). i did prepare for that last question by the way, cuz i was freaking out that much in the car on the way there, caught in that terrible PIE jam caused by 2 accidents. i called poor michelle and she could amazingly tell me some of the ethical stuff we learnt during the bio lectures we slept thru. ANYWAY i should know the results next week, or later.

let's go LAURENT BERNARD'S @ robertson quay! because the chocolate desserts there are to die for, like seriously, i hardly can tell the difference btw good and excellent but these sweet treats are to die for. yes i sound like an over-enthusiastic food critic now but it's awesome seriously let's go when i get my next pay. YUMMMMM.

i went there with my SERVE babes on thurs, we hardly meet up but we always have memorable outings. like has to be awesome food or cool (mostly ulu) location or doing fun stuff. like how we had sashimi @ sagisawa which was as thick as my fingers! also at robertson quay, fyi.

oh and i had udders at the ulu part of bukit timah on wed! siglap one nicer venue but saw new weird flavours at bukit. it was aft yummy simpang-like dinner with cherrie jingyan esther at clementi area. we divulged alot of secrets HAHAHAH. it was awesome catching up with them la:) just that we kinda couldn't find the bus stop which had the buses that would bring us home, so in the end i burnt another hole in my wallet taking cab home:/

OK AND ROYALS CAFE@SIGLAP HAS SURPRISINGLY DELICIOUS CHICKEN SOUP. order the set meal!
