元宵节

hellooo!! today is the last day of chinese new year and february. so fast!! goodbye cny, i'll wait for you again next year (:

yest went out with roomie and his gf who came all the way from malaysia! i know i am lightbulb, but they say they dont mind. went shokudo to eat. food was not bad. and i found out roomie dont like to eat sour stuff. yay!! roomie beware =P

after dinner rushed over to the airport to see limian off. luckily all the mrt waited for me at the stop. when i got to city hall, train was there and when i reached tanah merah train was there too and at airport skytrain was there! glad i reached in time!! see you again in july, i will be uper duper free then!

so that is basically my day one of recess week. today was just doing projects and of course my 元宵节 dinner with my family (:



p.s. jiahui i update already okay! but i doubt you got time to read. haha.

sleepyhead

been feeling super sleepy and lethargic of late. in fact, i have been taking afternoon naps almost every single day. after class, i will just go back hall and sleep till like dinner and wake up eat and watch tv until like 10pm.

and next week is going to get a whole lot worse. since its recess, i will wake up late and i will still sleep in the afternoon. omgosh.

self motivation

today, i finally saw the power of self motivation. dunno what came over me cause for the first time i had the motivation to just keep running during ipt and i clocked my fastest timing in dunno how long. its still a super bad timing, but i improved by 1.5 mins. pretty satisfied.

didnt really have time to do a proper blog entry. i am so glad that this week is more or less over. or at least all the major stuff is over. first was the french quiz, it was okay except the last part of the quiz was like greek to me. and our presentation turned out fine as well. yay for my research group. now we have to rush out the report due on tues :(

i think i am pretty weird. i get motivation to work through emo songs. i dunno why either. now i love bad romance by lady gaga. when i couldnt think of what to crap out for the presentation slides, after listening to the song proved to be instant magic.

next week is recess week, but i doubt it will be really recess. just that i no need to go to school for one week thats all i guess.

tata for now!!

japan ♥

Came across this blog http://cheeserland.com/ recently. The pictures taken in japan make me miss japan lots.

Somehow the culture there just seems super awesome and everything there is just nice! Really want to go back there again sometime soon, though daddy says we have been there 2 times already and its like the same thing you see everytime. But i see the pictures, theres lots of places i havent been to yet (:

cny

Back with my cny post. Anyway do u all see like some green stuff at the top of my blog? I dunno why i always see it when using IE.

Okay back to cny. So this year cny and valentine's day fall on the same day. Good for singletons like me, dont have to see couples carrying flowers everywhere! (:

Cny started with going temple to pay respects to my grandparents as all of them have already left the world. Somehow cny don't seem the same without them. After that, went to my 2 auntie's house. First up was my kochi's house. She is super awesome. She took the trouble to cook us perenakan dinner. yums. I wiped out alot of pineapple tarts and kueh bangkit at her house. Aww i did try to restrain, but too yummy.

Later went to my other aunty's house, but i was already too full to eat other stuff already.

So for me cny visting was only one day. Don't have the habit of going to all my other relatives' houses other than my 2 aunts. Angpao collection this year was not as much as last year, but the longer cny break this year was definitely great!

Okay, thats about it. I will upload some photos here soon, probably next week after i am done with my quiz and project (:

happy cny

happy chinese new year everyone! and happy valentine's day as well. how rare for both things to fall on the same day.

i'll update my blog soon.

In the meantime, may everyone collect lots of hongbao and ♥ be everywhere! and may i strike toto tmr (:

comps and more comps

have been taking part in quite a few competitions in just this week alone. yest was the cashflow finals. not as lucky as the preliminaries so no prize. at least i made it to the finals and i was 3rd to go thru. i thought i heard there were ipods for dunno top 3 of first round but apparently i think i heard wrongly. haiz excited for nothing.

today was funbowl 9 pin tap. got 3rd placing only. a little disappointed. but the biggest joke of the day was i forgot my bowling shoes. have to use the stupid house shoes which cant really slide well. was like walking a bit 'funny' during the practice throws, but its mind over matter.

and now i am like rushing to do touching up of tnfm report due tmr.

next week is like last week of sch before cny. pretty slack except for a quiz on friday. i suspect is a ploy so that we wont skip class on friday. haizzz. cny cny cny. exciting. angpaos coming my way!! (:

reflections

hellooo everyoneee!! one piece of happy news to share. i got into the finals for the cashflow 101 competition on friday. yipeeee. i thought i was like going to lose at the start cause i was super damn unlucky. but things turned better later!

okay other than that, the rest of this post is just some of my thoughts after some events that happened just today.

today one of my friend told me this 'if you dont challenge yourself, u will never know how far you will go'. this got me thinking and i realised it is very true. i have only taken part in competitions which i have confidence in or rather some confidence in and never dare to try those of higher standards. yup so now i am gonna put in my all for the fund manager competition, which from the start my confidence was rock bottom. i guess i should be more adventurous from now on.

and today again, i had this nasty flu which cured after i slept my afternoon nap. i always get super grumpy when i have those irky flus cause it irritates the hell out of me. and i guess i transferred some of my irritation to the same friend that told me the thing above. and again i thought about it and i realise that i sometimes take my friends for granted and i feel that i am spoilt. oh well, at least i do come to realise it and what matters is i know it and be more aware of it in future.

seems like a boring post. but i had to let it out, if not i will feel very trapped.

and today reality check again. why does so many things all happen in the same day. i realised that project is due in 2 weeks and we bloody havent got anything concrete out yet. still swimming at the surface. darn it. and time seem to fly so so fast. soon its cny and term break.

well at least the cashflow competition at the end of the day cheered up my otherwise nasty day. i tink i gonna be super moody for most days till at least cny. cant wait man. off for supper later. (:
