i felt much better after drinking the cammomile tea and thinking through about some stuff....:)

thanks to Pam for the recommendation! i went to get a 10pack Lipton cammomile tea bags and it tasted not bad! ;) now the cupboard smelled of cammomile flowers...heh ;P

well i guess diff people have different kinds of studying patterns/habits and i jus happened to be one of the different ones. Shouldn't compare too much with my frens, i don't think it's healthy to compare so much coz we're all so different!

I'm jus glad that I'm able to complete what I'm suppose to read everyday and haf plenty of time left to do my revision for the next day.. Plus i get to watch my favourite tv shows which is also a good form of relaxation! :P

I'm really glad that I don't feel as stressed as last few semesters...at least I'm sort of enjoying my revision (only at certain times of the day ;P ) Guess the only thing that is pulling me through is the the thought of having a holiday after Nov 16th! haha!

I always use the thought of the coming holidays as a motivation to study hard and complete my readings on time...Time seems to pass very quickly in this way too! :) maybe u guys can try...i rather not think of the exams coming and how many days i'm left to the paper, rather how many days am I closer to the much-awaited holidays!

This semester seems to pass very quickly, prob I'm already in my 2nd year and this semester was really hectic and loads and loads of projects...But i love it coz it's challenging and time passed by very quickly!

At this time next year, I would already be goin towards the end of my final yr first semester! how time flies! could still rem the time when i was a freshie, staying in hostel and meeting all my great pals now...and to think we're gonna graduate soon! *gasp!*

Press on everybody! Holidays are knocking on your doors real soon! :D

ok u may think I'm very free but actually I am...for now..

yah u may think, hey it's exam time and you should be studying and mugging hard isn't it? Nah, sHu mus be very smart already and she dun need to study so much she still can ace the exams.

wat bullshit.

You think i like to feel free at this point in time? i wish i was like any other ppl, mugging hard for the exams...but somehow, I duno why i'm still q free despite I've laid down a detailed timetable to follow through everyday, and till now I haven't missed one single day of studying!

Prob i studied much faster than other ppl. Well that's because i could still remember abt 50% of all the stuff the lecturer taught. Nope, i haven't got myself a super memory, it's jus that I'm able to 'retain' more information i guess.

I duno if the revision for the past 1 week will acutally help in my exams....i hope it will. i mean it's not like I dun wan to 'act' as if i'm mugging hard but it's jus whenever i flip open the pages i'm suppose to read, the notes and stuff, it's like the video player will automatic run on its own and i can immediately understand watever I've wrote on them!

now it's that a blessing? i really dunno.

I jus noe that, I'm not feeling as stressed as the past few years when i was in secondary school and junior college. I'm beggining to take it easy and in my stride.

BUT i still feel insecure.

How cheap can I get man?

Everyone is dying to be un-Stressed during exams and I'm actually worrying why in the world I'm NOT stressed??

i'm crazy.

or maybe i'm too free.

________________________________________________________________

officially started my exam revision today...yeppers, it's considered quite late already, what with only 12 days more to my first paper....but it's better than nothing ;) i shall be optimistic!

realised that most of my frens are feeling kinda stressed, either by their mid-terms or ballet exams or the coming semester exam.

wondering how come i don't exactly feel it or perhaps I AM feeling stressed jus that i did not take notice of any symptoms?? hmmm....

well actually, not that i'm complacent or what, jus that coz i've always been consistent in my work and attempted most of the lectures and seminars, so I could still remember about 60-70% of whatever has been taught. So revision to me is jus like refreshing my memory of what I've learnt and consolidating the ideas in my brain so that I can apply them during exams.

I don't wan to be a spoon-fed student anymore. I wan to make sure that I truly understands the concepts and are able to apply to all kinds of similar questions. I hate the way the education sys has turned me into a mutated regurgitating machine, who is only capable of spilling out everything like those rubbish collection trucks. yuck.

I hope to change that so I've been working harder than usual.

Maybe also coz i wan to prove to myself that I'm actually capable of achieving grades that I don't expect to get. Surprise element?

But i dun really wan to expect too much lest i get disappointed big time (which i hope not! self-contradicting!!)

it's good to lay down a detailed timetable of what i should study everyday so that I don't allow myself to deviate too much from those irritating temptations!! ( oh there's this new tv show on Ch8 called The Champions, which is all about swimming and love and the guys and gals in the show are babelicious!! :P( (P/S: u see what i mean? temptations!!!)

I hope everyone can relax more and dun get too stressed up by whatever is coming for them.

Good luck to all for the coming exams! Think of what u can do during hols and that'll make u study faster! hee ;P

Godspeed.

haven't been blogging for exactly 1 week..

was really busy doin proj and tutorials, plus stupid me came down with flu. AGAIN.
someting mus be wrong w my nose, it's super sensitive and allergic, I guess i can detect the dust better than any vacuum cleaner!! ;P

finally finished with my big presentation today! *heaved a sigh of relief* finally can start my revision soon. This presentation has been bugging me coz it's so formal and nothing like the rest of my past presentations coz it's sort of like a debate style where ppl pose questions and you're suppose to answer there and then. I'm bad at debating, UNLESS i'm pretty sure of the topic we're discussing, or else I wouldn't wan to risk saying something wrong and making a fool out myself! =P

took a few pics (really a FEW ;) with the groups and my good pals in school. Check them out! ;)


Ben, Edwin, Me and Ee Sin


Our group: Back - Joyce, Zhen Shi, Doreen
Front - Me, Han Boon, Shahirah


The whole class - almost ;)

feeling kinda nutty and cranky today...guess i'm jus super tired so getting abit 'high' from all the stuff that's goin on...

reached home at 9pm coz I went for a bellydancing trial workshop with mummy to chk things out...gosh! it's certainly not ez trying to tilt ur hips and not moving ur entire body and stuff...got abit of cramps here n there. Mummy was farni, think she hasn't done such dancing stuff for donkey years, her limbs we so stiff it's like robots! kk, i shouldn't laugh at her but i dun really think this bellydancing is for me coz i wasn't really interested in it..or prob coz i was jus tired... but paying $120 for 8 sessions, 1hr per wk is really q ex for me and i seriously wonder how much u can absorb in that mere 1 hr of lesson (consider there are so many techniques to remember). Plus it's pretty far from me house and exams are coming soon, guess i'll give this a skip...:)

well and yes! the stupid, irritating projects are really driving me NUTS!!! gosh! i really duno why i'm always stuck in the situation where I'll always end up having to do the most work coz I'll always have some irresponsible free-riders in my group who are simply parasites and thick-skinned that they do not how to spell the word 'ashamed'. urgh.

and yes, there's this Swiss exchange student (how nice! *sarcastic*) in one of my proj groups who fits about 80% of the above description mentioned. He simply jus pushes off deadlines and conveniently shirks his responsibility and i really duno how i should fix him! (think prolly a hammer or spanner) So now i end up having to do his part for the proj!! And it's almost the end of the week 11 and i've still so many proj undone! Next week will see me growing nuts out of my head coz they're 3 proj deadlines, 1 presentation and the week after the next, I'll have 2 more presentations and 3 deadlines!! What the f**k is wrong with those profs??! Don't they have better things to do den throwing us with all these projects which i don't seem to able to 'discover' anythings with them!

Guess the only thing I've learnt is how to type the correct keywords to search thru Internet, copy and paste them onto my essay and hand them up. Piece of cake.

something on the light-hearted mode..

Was chatting w Ben on phone and MSN, and apparently the both of us were so cranky and nuts, we began to think of names for each other!!! haha it was really funny toking to him coz I'll always dig at him and make him irritated and got nothing to say...hee :P

anyways, we came up with this: sHusHu, bOhbOh and xiaoMING=The 3 Nutketeers!!!

haha :P Ben is bOh, i'm sHusHu and xiaoMING will be Edwin, another of our great pals and together we become the mighty and invincible 3 Nutketeers!! haha isn't that name great? hee :P and it was me who tot of it, imagine my level of insanity at the moment in time..haha ;P

alritey, it's time for bed..think after so much shitty things i'm really tired...zzzzz

sudd feel weary about my prospects of goin for student exchange programme....

was looking through the course curriculum for my 3rd year, the courses that I must take and realised that it would be quite difficult for me to go for student exchange in the 1st semester coz the subject that I'm suppose to read mus be done in NTU coz they're mostly Singapore-based context like taxation and stuff...and there's the prob of my FYP also, it would be hard on Ben and Edwin if I'm to leave in first sem coz they'll be forced to start the FYP only in the 2nd sem which is q rush for all of us...

sighzz, i should have applied earlier so maybe I could be goin for exchange next semester already...but too late..the only time i can reg is next yr and will be only goin in my final year of studies...but i read that it wud be pretty hard for final years to go on student exchange unless i drastically re-arrange my core modules to be read next Jan, which means i may have to overload my modules.....next sem is goin to be tough coz they're 5 core modules to take and they're mostly taxing ones...so i doubt i can overload any..

really in a dilemma now, i really wan to go for the student exchange but seems like circumstances are not in my favour...

i regret how i did not grab the opportunity to apply for the exchange coz i kept thinking abt the cost and financial issues..and now when my parents finally said they are able to support me financially, i have to meet with all these problems..

i feel so discouraged now...sighzz...guess I'll hafta talk with the co-ordinator in depth to see how my situation is before coming to a conclusion...

keeping my fingers crossed and please pray for me too! thanks so much...

the semester is goin on to its 11th week..which means that I have only about 3.5 weeks more to my first paper!! *pulls hair*

but well, I better start to focus hard on my immediate goal: that is to pull through all my 5 papers!!!

YES! i intend to do my best for this coming exams since I've put in so much consistent hard work into all my tutorials and assignments and projects, it's time i earn what I deserve!

But i won't expect myself to get straight As or sth coz I still noe my limits, i jus hope that whatever I've put in these past few months will see its results in my exams...*prays hard*

whatever obstacles that may come in the next few weeks that may deter me and make me demoralize, I shall embrace them with wide arms...I know I can do it and nothing is gonna stop me from what I wan to do!! ;)

Good luck to all my friends as well!

after rested for a day, was well and about and managed to finish 2 of my proj ystd...woohoo!

nothing great happened as usual..boring life and stuff..but had a chat with Chelle on ICQ tho..

glad to hear from her again, tot she was angry with me as well because of my brother, but looks like she's not that petty yah :)

And good news is she's gonna come back to SG for good!! :P haha so happy when i heard the news, gonna do some catching up with her when she gets back.. Seems like she's doin q okay now. Her job is related to wat's she studying, Arts Management so I guess it's gonna be more of an enjoyment for her instead of work..;)

Really admire people who can really live out to their dreams and knowing wat they wan and jus go ahead with it...It's not as if I can't but just that I dun really know EXACTLY wat i wan as yet...bleah.

Guess I'm gonna continue to be a muppet of the educational system and jus 'happily' finish my studies and graduate and see what happens after that...

Think if I can't get a job after I grad I'll prob jus try my hands of setting up my own business...nothing concrete in mind tho but prolly jus do things that i relly like to do...

sighzzz...
