For every half hour to 1 hour of reading for my Bahasa Indonesia 3 exams tomorrow, I'm online the equivalent amount of time. T_T I think I'm quite dead as I'm also going out later for dinner. Oops.

Saya mati sekali! Saya sekarang ingin sekali mau tidur tapi saya tahu tidak bisa karena saya harus rajin belajar. Hm. Sebenarnya, saya mau 'blog' tentang beberapa hal tapi saya tidak mau karena akan tidak bisa latihan menulis menurut saya. Hehe. Baik la. Saya akan melanjutkan belajar rajin!

As I was taking a shower just now, it dawned on me that my most personal space is not my comfy room but my toilet! =) No, not that I have a toilet in my room, but the toilet in my mum's room. That toilet is only used by me except in the mornings when my mum does her own personal stuff in there and of course any creepy crawlies that may be present in the bathroom. I dont really have privacy in my room even when I close my room door. She invades it and without knocking the door even! So I just leave my room door open everytime. I was thinking in the shower about what I should blog about today. Nothing in particular came out. I think G posted something similar some time ago about the shower being her most favourite room in her house over in US. But I guess that's a pretty different situation. What I meant is that my mum cant come barging into the bathroom while I'm showering as I have the most valid reason to lock the door. Haha. My houserule is that locked door means you're showering or changing or doing something of that nature. Wahaha. So yeah. Different homes different rules! =)

Tomorrow is dinner with my most favourite girls of all times! Heh. Cant wait although I'm in the midst of exams. Girlfriends are more important! Our different priorities have set us to meet less often that we would like to but somethings never change! Our friendship. -muacks- Will bring my camera tomorrow!!

Okie. I just decided on a topic to blog on. I've been jealous hearing people say they are going on a graduation trip while I'm so so so stuck here in Singapore. But looking from another perspective, I think it would be more meaningful if I pay for the trip myself rather than asking my mum for money to go for a trip while she's stuck in Singapore working hard. I'm not saying that those people are not grateful or anything. But it just made me think from another perspective. Oh well, hopefully after I go NIE and start saving, I can go for a trip. Maybe to Australia, Thailand, some parts of Indonesia or Hong Kong. I wont go to Europe as I'm saving that for something more special. Hehe. I would also like to visit US sometime in my life, but that is not my top priority. I'd love to go Dubai and soak in the culture there! I think my list will be endless. -oops-

Alrights, I shall go continue writing my cheat sheet! I'm 68% done!! I shall hang in there!

It was so.. Terrible. 10 complexes with the transition metal unknown. 10 jumbled transition metals given for us to figure out and match with the 10 unknowns. Great. The worst part is that the identification was only 20 marks out of 100 and yet a lot of people took more than 1 hour to try and figure out. Sheesh. The rest of the 80 marks were linked to the first 20 marks. So how screwed can the paper be? This is the first time in my life doing a chemistry paper in which I drew more structures and write more formulas that penning down proper sentences explaining the concepts. Wonderful huh? 1 structure 10 marks. Wrong means wrong. Wonderful. Haha. At least the paper is OVER!! Yay! Tomorrow is 3291 and I only starting studying for it today after my first paper. How screwed? Very. Hee. But it's open book anyway. I like my exams this semester as 2 papers are open-book, 1 can bring cheat sheet and my BI3 can bring in dictionary. Technically no closed book exams this time. Good and bad huh?

Okie. Time for me to go prepare for WAR for tomorrow! Hee.. Byes~~

It sucks to be stuck at home whole day long trying my very best to study and upload information into my teeny weeny brain. What makes it worst is that my mum is even more happening than me. =( She have been going for sessions of KTV and bowling after work and even past midnight at times. Eeks. My life right now seems to be pale in comparison with hers. Mr Lui still havent gotten any news regards his 'vacation' job. They still havent given him any info on whether he needs to go back to work during this hols. Sigh. Where's my shopping trips?!?!? Where's my hanging out late in town? Where's my sipping of beverages and chitchatting anything under the sky? Sobs. Exams please hurry end. I wan my Progress Report money on 1st May, last paper on 2nd May, resume tuition after 2nd May, chalet on 15th May, wedding to attend on 21st May, Mr Lui's birthday and Great Singapore Sale on 26th May. Also possibly clubbing session at MoS slotted in between. Hehe. Boy. I'm daydreaming again. Shall get back to studying.

... effective at keeping me awake by giving my nose and eyes a rude shock with each mouthful of e peas. But it's going to be even more effective in my weight gain during exams. -.-'''

I Jerry found my damn ez-link card. There's a tear in the small pocket of the bag at where I always put the card at when I use that bag. It slipped through the small hole and got underneath the stupid lining of the bag!!! Sheesh. Now I feel dumb. -.-'' Thankfully I never report loss. If not need to go get replacement..

Alright. I'm a happy girl once again. =)

Ning gave me and Nic a ride to Jurong Point. =) This morning Nic showed me clips of MTC cribs of Mariah Carey's penthouse. It's OMFG nice! I love every single part of her house! Especially her bathroom and of course her... *drumrolls* walk-in wardrobe! I tell you. I must have a similar walk-in wardrobe next time when I have my own house! Next she showed me Missy Elliot's house. Another damn nice house! I want half of her wardrobe as it's all Adidas stuff!! I like. =) I absolutely LOVE her Ferarri bed that comes with a LCD screen and her Lamborghini sofa. Freaking nice. Oh and of course I love her 3 cars.. Hehe. How I wish I can experience one day of my life as such a rich person. I'm not asking too much right? =)

Okies! Now I can work in peace. =) Tomorrow I shall make up for my lack of progress today.

I losy my ez-link card. =( And my hybrid concession (read: bus and train -$97) just flew away as it is valid until 2nd May, my last paper!!!!!! It's so irritating. I havent called them up to cancel my card yet. I'm hoping some kind soul who found it will either mail it back to me somehow or will leave it at campus security for me to pick up. >.<

Didnt study much in school today. Super unproductive. Shall be extra productive tomorrow!! Not going school as I dont wish to top-up money for my stupid farecard which I'm going to borrow from my mum. Eeeks..

Having a terrible headache now. Off I go to rest now. Byes.

When you're doing everything else but studying. Fuck. I'm left with 8 days to my freaking first paper. Which I havent started studying. Thankfully I just had a test on the whole syllabus for that paper. So all I have to do is revise. I'm 1/4 done for my cheat sheet. Farking tiring to write that damn thing. I'm trying to write a bit every day so it will not strain my poor eyes too much. WTH. I'm left with 2 (or 3) days to study for that module before I have to start on my other module. Dead. So dead. I took 3 days to finish 1/4 of the damn cheat sheet. Of course with gazillions of break to rest my eyes.

I think this is my most slack study week ever. I've been staying home and studying. With loads of breaks, meals and whatnots. Growls. My progress is so pathetic. Haha. I shall try to rush tomorrow. Byes.

Yups, I got myself a new phone. Finally. After almost 2 years of surviving with the super duper lousy K500i, I got myself the sleek Motorola SLVR L7. =) It's so wonderful. I dare not put photos of the phone up in case I get sued. Go google it and you can see the phone. =)

Now I'm a proud owner of a great phone! Loving it so far! =) I can even upgrade the memory to 512MB. Heh. But I doubt I will. =)

*update* I'm almost 1/4 done with my cheat-sheet! Phew. I think my eyes are going to spoil even further. -pouts-

Taking a short break from studying now. It's raining heavily outside now. Such wonderful weather to nap. But I'm refraining myself from doing so. Terrible habit of mine. I'm also using the stupid excuse of caffine from coffee is giving me a headache that's retarding my progress in studying. So here I am blogging away. I'm doubly unproductive when I get headache from drinking coffee. Sigh. This sucks. Just now I took a 2 minute break to look out of the window at my dining area. It was great feeling wind plus rain hitting my face. Enjoying the view, intrigued by how the raindrops hits any and every surface that is available. I love rainy days minus the thunder and lightning. Especially the lightning. It's been long since I last stare blankly out of my window enjoying the sights outside when it's raining. As I grow up, I do these very simple things lesser and lesser as I am more preoccupied with stuff like studies, bf and friends. I guess that's human nature. As one gets older, they have more and more things on their hand until they tend to forget to enjoy and treasure things such as rain and slowing down from their busy schedule to enjoy the sights.

Heed my advice. Take a break from your current schedule. Just a minute or so, to enjoy what's happening around you. Be it the rain, the sun, people walking around or the cars zooming by. =) It feels really great. Simple pleasures in the midst of studying.

Love, Jane

P/s I think I was pretty incoherent in this post. Please pardon me as I'm mentally too tired to reorganise my post.

For the first time in my NUS life, I'm writing a cheat-sheet. Or rather, cheat-cards. My last semester and I'm actually doing this for the first time. I have 2 times 5" by 8" cards to fill up. Put them together and it's smaller than an A4 sized paper. My lecturer is so cheapo. Cant he just give us 1 A4 sized paper to write? Sigh. I will put up a photo when I finally finish it. I'm pretty proud of my achievements so far. It passes my QC for now. Haha.

Time for breakfast! Bye.

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years, this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled,"Did you notice that there are flowers on your side ofthe path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Got this from G's blog. =) G thanks for this greatly inspiring story! Learn to love your own flaws my dear friends! Noone's perfect! Have a great day! For those studying hard for exams, hang in there! It'll be over before you know it!

The weather today on my side of Singapore is so rainy and gloomy. Such a good day to take a break from all work and relax by reading a book or sleeping. Yet I'm at my study table working hard. Studying for exams. Bleargh..

BI3 oral was so terrible. =( Messed up the names of the 2 main character of the story during my summary. Sigh. Weni and Rini. When I panicked, both names became the same. -.-''' At least Ibu Lucia was really nice and helpful. She helped me phrased one of my sentence before I went in for my 'death sentence'. Haha.. She even asked whether I understood my passage before I went in. Guess what? It seems that my passage was the longest. XF had e same passage as me.

The story was so lame. One day, Rini picked up Weni's ruler from the floor and helped Weni safekeep it and wanted to return to Weni the next day. However Rini forgot about it and Weni also didnt know she lost her ruler. One day Weni saw it in Rini's pencil case when Weni was playing it. Weni decided to keep quiet and hope that Rini will return it to her. But Rini totally forgot about the ruler and did not see it also. Weni didnt want to be Rini's friend anymore so Weni avoided Rini. Rini noticed it and wondered why. During an art lesson 1 month later, Rini wanted to help Weni with her art piece but Weni rejected her help. Somehow, Rini's pencil case dropped and all the contents spilled out and Rini saw Weni's ruler and suddenly remembered about it. She immediately explained the situation to Weni and Weni forgave Rini. They became best of friends again. This is the summary of the story. I had to do it in BI. Power huh? I forgot so many basic words during my oral. So dead. Tsk. On top of that, the 2 Ibu asked funny questions. My oral was so fast until XF, who was after me, got a shock. Haha.

Ok, enough about my oral. My GEK test was even worst. Took my own sweet time for the first 2 questions until I didnt manage to finish my last quest. >.< But than again, doubt that even if I finish the last question will give me a pass for this stupid test. The lecturer already mentioned at the start of the semester that for this module, the second test it is common to get ZERO. Sheesh. I'm going to break my own record if I do get a zero. Haa.

Feeling tired and all after the oral and test with totally no mood to study, xf, wy and I went shopping at Habourfront before proceeding to Marina Square and Suntec City. Haa. Tried some stuff from Zara but didnt look very nice on me. Hmm. That sounded like an understatement man. Anyways, at the end of our shopping trip, when we were walking to City Hall to take the train home, they suggested to go for a cuppa. So we went to TCC at City Link! My virgin trip to TCC. Haa. I ordered some soda water that was really nice! They had coffee which I didnt want to drink cause exam period = best friend is coffee. Ordered their potato wedges with spicy cheese dip. It was FANTASTIC!! Hee. Had fun there. Laugh and laugh and laugh. Haa. I enjoyed myself though I feel really guilty now for going out yesterday. Heh.

Okies. This is such a long and mundane post. Off I go now to study.

P/S. Exams = Stress = Need to relieve stress = Blog more. Haha..

This is what I'm feeling right now. Die. Didnt do very well for my individual projects for my TMC. DIE.. My test marks were okie. But still not high enough to pull everything up. =( Tomorrow at 845am is my BI3 oral. Pray for me please. 1pm is my GEK test.

Slept at almost 4am the night before helping WY with her lab report. Woke up at 8 this morning. I survived on caffine the whole day. Congratulations. I'm waking up at 5am to study for my ujian lisan (oral). So good night. Peace.

It's raining so heavily outside. Series of thunders keep coming. It sounds so surreal. It sounds so much like the live-firing from SAFTI. It really does. Just that the thunder sounds more benevolent. I love rainy days. I really do. It's been such a while since I last played in the rain. I used to love walking in the rain back in secondary. I love trainings in the rain even more, minus the lightning and the thunder. The feeling of the raindrops hitting my face and my limbs is really wonderful and beyond description. It's been a long while since I last ran in the rain except for those times caught in the unexpected rain while out in town or in other similar situations. Haha.

Sigh. The rain is stopping.

Yesterday was a fantastic day! Finally reached school early at slightly before 8am for my last BI3 tutorial on Fridays. Had a terrifying lesson as everyone was fighting to give their opinion. I was like WTH and I scribbled that to XF on my book telling her that it was scary. Haha. Had a pretty heavy breakfast after the tutorial in Arts canteen followed by going back to Science for a stupid lecture-cum-test that was highly unnecessary. The test didnt even come out on anything that I studied so hard for the previous day, Wednesday. But it's okay. The rest of the day made up for it. Went to Suntec and Marina Square with WY and XF. On our bus ride on TIBS 106, we met with a very, hm, I-dont-know-how-to-describe-experience.

There was this Indian lady that was cursing, swearing, blabbering the same few sentences over and over again about Government stuff, Malays, making out/love and whatsoever. We came to a conclusion that she had a very bad experience of her husband getting stolen by a Malay due to these conclusive sentences by her. I dont understand how come they can have 4 wives when they cannot even handle them. Then the wives will go curi other people's husband and spoil other people's families. Much can be said about these sentences but I will not. In fact, I actually pitied her as she was so resentful and even helpless to a certain extent. Other than that, the 3 of us had very weird conversations on the bus journey. Of course it's going to be kept between the 3 of us. Haha.

We had a late lunch and off we go shopping!!!! Hee. WY bought almost 200 buckaroos worth of stuff. Amazing huh? Retail therapy as she claims. I only bought an eyeshadow of a very nice shade of seagreen. It's called city jungle from The Make Up Store. After all the shopping, I met Jerry for a simple dinner at BK and shopping at the supermarket at the basement of Raffles City. Almost half an hour of shopping in the supermarket and guess what we I bought? 2 green apples. Haha. Have a sudden craving for it so I bought 2 and they cost me 1 buck! Very expensive green apples indeed.

What a wonderful day. Hee.. Okies. I'm off to have my lunch now! Byes!

Been having tummy aches. I so hate it.. Garz.. I shall spare those who read my blog the details. Haha. I think it's just the stress getting to me. I wont be able to have a breather until my papers are finally over on 2nd May. Sigh. this is already the last day of the 2nd last week of school and I'm still drowning in tests and whatnots. This is so disgusting. Haha. Technically, tomorrow is the start of the last week of school before reading week starts. This really sucks. My last reading week in NUS. Happiness! Until I happily decide to go for honours. Which I dont think I'll as I'm too traumatised by a certain professor by the initial of H.

Tomorrow is my IA2 test which I only started studying for last night. Halfway through now but I still need to practise some many questions so that I can memorise my equations. Next Wednesday I'm having my BI3 oral in the morning at 845am and my GEK2507 test in the afternoon. Sigh. I'm pretty scared for my oral. It's no longer pair work!! Haiz. But it's ok! I'll try my best.

On a happier note, I'm going for tuition tomorrow. Which means I'm finally getting my tuition pay! Hee.. My first tuition pay after I stopped teaching K's sister. My current student is cute. We always end up blabbering about weird stuff like bitching about our teachers and stuff like that. Of course I always finish teaching her first than we'll talk. If not we'll talk a while before I continue teaching. Heh. Plus I usually end up staying for 2.5hours instead of just the 2 hours. See, I'm so nice!! The ideal tutor. Haha.. -pukes- But I really hope I can help her man. Having to teach her the WHOLE JC chemistry syllabus is no joke. At least I'm halfway through organic chemistry. After my exams which is also after her softball season, we can have lessons at least twice a week. Really good! Haha. Extra income is always good. Plus I enjoy teaching her as she's willing to listen and try. Although when I want to give her some homework to do she'll procrastinate. Haha. Who doesnt?

Okies enough about her!

Last night I went to Cuppage to have ramen for dinner! Yummy yummy! I love ramen! Followed by walking to Taka to buy donuts! On our way to Taka, we stopped by Meritius Mandarin Shopping Gallery to find the travel agency that WY mentioned. It was closed. -.-''' At 7pm!! Guess what Jerry and I saw? We say this beauty parlour promoting/selling/using Placenta (however u spell it).. Damn gross can?? For those who dont know, placenta is the bloody thing that is excreted from women's womb after giving birth. I heard/read that it's VERY nutritious for us (including men? I'm not sure). But. I cant imagine myself downing my own placenta after I have given birth. Much less downing some unknown women's placenta. SICK to the bone!! -shivers- I dont even want to think about it anymore. The worst part? Next time when you've given birth and you choose to 'throw' away your placenta, your gynaecologist actually keep it and make profits by selling it to such beauty parlours. So unethical! Gosh!

Sick x inifinity!!

Okies.. I'm going back to my study table to study proper now. Sigh.

Finally huh? Hee.. Just decided to change it an hour ago. Tada. Programming idiot me managed to find a template online and changed it without anyone's help! Hee. Though I need some help with my commenting system. I cant seem to get it up and Blogger is not helping by giving vague instructions. Will continue with it tomorrow or something! Getting late and I'm starting to feel sleepy even though I took an afternoon nap. Growls.

Okies. Sleepyhead me off to bed now! Nights world. =)

I want to announce that my hellish lab sessions are OVER forever!! At least from what I anticipate currently. Woohoo. But it has also got to be my worst lab session ever! I DID NOT get one of my derivatives!! Irritating. I spend about 5 hours trying to get it but yet it was futile. I decided to give up. Harrison was SO sacarstic until I cannot be bothered anymore. Growls. But I'm so glad labs are OVER!! Yayness! One last lab report to go. In which I'm about a third through.

Also, I fell asleep during my most favourite lesson this semester. Bahasa Indonesia 3. My favourite Ibu somemore. She was going through the last passage that we have to read when I fell asleep. So malu.. But I was too tired!! Now I'm suppose to be studying for my TMC test tomorrow. But I think I'll just study 1 chapter and sleep. I still got about 4 chapters more to go!! Sure die one. Sigh..

Okies. I shall commence on studying. Yay. I LoVE studying. Haa.. I'm a nerd.

Sorry. I just had to psycho myself. Growls.
