Time 'fries'

It has been a week since our return from vacation. Manipal remains the same, with even heavier workload in Block III. It's only the first week and I already find some of the subjects difficult to cope with. Mostly because I'm not used to some lecturers' ways of teaching. Or maybe it's post-holiday syndrome. With the mentor-student project due this block, I think I'll have an even harder time getting through this block. Lol.

Got to know our previous block results this Monday. Very satisfied with mine. I thought I flunked Oral Biology and Anatomy spotters, but by God's grace they turned out quite good. Glad that papa mama are happy with my results. (:

Totally hate the fact that I need to go to the library in the first week back. Didn't want to activate the 'nerd' mode so soon. But what to do? Lotsa things to do, too little time.

This week has been eventful. Got to eat my favourite cabbage in Manipal Canteen (on our 2nd day back I think). Had a 'lil farewell dinner at 7Bees for Jasmine on Wednesday with Chien Ying and Christine. Had a nice little chat that night (: A 'lil birthday surprise for Esther the leap year baby in her room before that. Celebrated Amanda's birthday at Hideout on Thursday and Chris's goodbye to crutches at Manipal Canteen again on Friday. :) Wow, now only I realized that we had so much to celebrate. Heh. 

Five of us shared a court during our usual Friday badminton. Nice spending time playing badminton with 'family'. If only Peggy was there. :) Played against two locals too. Quite fun actually. (:

Gonna start a new week soon enough. Week 2 of Block III, please be good to me :)

 Happy birthday cheerful sis! (:

Rawr! I'm back in Manipal, back to reality.

Once Block III starts I will have no time for blogging, so maybe I'll just squeeze in another update. (:

 View from sky above Bangalore. :)

Touched down in Bangalore yesterday on time (4.30pm), and the amazing race began. In order to make it in time for the next flight (6.30pm), we rushed for our lives.If anything went wrong, we would have to book another flight at the airport. Haha. Clearing immigration, collecting our baggage, check-in, security check, boarding, everything was done in in a hurry. Thank God that we made it in time. You can't imagine how relieved we were when we reached the departure hall. :) Owe a lot to Peggy this time. Thanks Erjie!

 Check-in frenzy @ Bangalore Airport 

Took a cab back to Manipal. The journey was quite fast, compared to the time we took to reach Mangalore back then. Had motion sickness, but at least it wasn't as bad as last time. Reached around 10pm, though didn't have much appetite, but was warmed by the ai xin bian dang waiting for me. Finished it all. Haha. 

Slept after having my room cleaned. Though it wasn't really a good sleep, at least it's way better than spending the night in the airport. (Had enough of it in LCCT). Never again would I do that. Haha.

Spent the morning unpacking my stuff, then went out with Laura & Phyllis to get our internet renewed. (Had a corridor chat with the 6th floor peeps before that :p ) Lunch at food court after that. Food court. On our first day back. Haha.

Had a nice nap which ended with erjie's call. Haha. After waking up went to Erjie's room to catch up with her. Nice girl's talk we had :)

Sent laundry, did some of my laundry myself, then went out for dinner at Manipal Canteen. Haha. Gabriel suggested, but I was thinking of Manipal Canteen from the first. Missed Manipal Canteen's cabbage so much when I was away. Hearty meal :)

Four bears. ♥ :) Now I know I didn't mishear what Rachel was saying this morning about the bears. Haha.

Annyǒnghi kyeseyo (:

In 9 hours time I'll be bidding farewell to JB. Heh. 

Almost done packing, only some little things left. Have no idea why my luggage is still light after squeezing everything I bought inside. Planned to bring an additional box to pack my foodstuff, but turned out that everything could fit into my luggage, with ample space left. Haha. So I chucked in some extra clothes and shoes. Heh. Waste not (: 

See! Full of food! Heh.

Bye for now, family and friends, and everything else here.
Manipal, see you soon in a day's time. 

Praying for journey mercy and that all will go well (: Be with us and keep us safe Lord! ♥

Home (:

Having blogger’s block, no joke. Hmm, still remember the days when I could write everyday, and put in effort to maintain my blog, but now the enthusiasm is no longer there. Look what is BDS doing to me?! Haha. 

It’s weird seeing everyone else so excited throughout the hols, everyone else so unwilling to return to Manipal. Having really drastic mood swings nearing the end of hols, as part of me can’t wait to go back. Life away from home still means more freedom. And I love freedom (: But the other part of me hates the start of a new block (Urghh, study.) and can’t bear to leave Malaysia (family and friends make me feel at home. ♥) Sigh, what to do. 

Holidays was fun, the meeting friends and eating part. Glad that I was able to catch a few friends – Solhah, Tong, Michelle before they leave for studies. Sorry to some of you that I couldn’t meet – Juliette, Qing… And Ging2 Jie! I promise I’ll come and see you next hols, dad says we can go back kampung in August yay! :D

Outings, catching up, having fun… I’ll let the pictures speak in my place. (:

Au revoir Solhah dear and Happy Advanced Birthday!

Hello JB!

Currently back in Jaybee! Happy to be here, but it's kinda indescribable. A part of me thinks 3 weeks is just too short to enjoy a nice holiday back home, at the same time I feel kinda restless and bored in JB. (Maybe the change is quite drastic, from the stressed up life in Manipal to life in JB in which I don't really need to do anything :) )

Aware that I haven't been blogging for such a long time. Sometimes I feel guilty too. Haha. But it has been really hard for me to squeeze time. Since I'm now 'goyang kaki-ing' in Malaysia, I can't make any excuses. Haha. I'll try to blog bit by bit from where I left off. :)

After quite a while :)

I simply can't get to sleep though I know that I'll need to wake up at 6.30am tomorrow morning. Restless on a Saturday night?

I know I haven't been blogging since I took off from Malaysia to Manipal, my new home. But it's really difficult to squeeze time to write. So from now on, blogging will belong to restless nights. :)

Been occupied by so many things that sometimes I find joy a luxury. Been so stressed up the past week that I even cried. Thanks to you all who cheered me up, especially SingYen. Can't do without you :)

Today Dr.B very kindly 'reminded' me that Blocks are only one week away. Thank you very much Dr.B. Stress is treating me 'awesomely'. I suck at dealing with stress. I never liked studying, and I never studied like this before. Hopefully I can make it through without letting myself down. Jiayous C.

Countdown-ing

Finally. I would say. In two weeks' time I'll be starting my university life, far far away. The past few months I've been waiting and passing time, hoping that the day will come soon. And time has been ticking away. 9 months of holiday is tiring. Tired of waiting, tired of staying at home, tired of thinking why I'm not allowed to go out, have fun, and enjoy the last few weeks in Malaysia. Fml.

I think almost everyone has settled down in their new lives, so I'm sorta forgetten. Rot rot rot, rot away at home. Trying not to mind so much, but I never succeed.

Been excited since the decision of accepting the offer was made. Happy that I was to start school, make new friends, study, learn new things, and stuff. But as the days come nearer, the worries begin. All sorts. I'm not gonna rant here. But in my diary instead.

Till now, I still have regrets about my choice. Actually didn't really have a choice. The offer came first, and there was a short time limit for me to accept the offer. It's God's plan. He knows I'll be undecided and tempted by other offer, and as a result make a wrong choice. So it this is what happened. But nothing can be done now. It's THE PATH I suppose. So even though I was quite dejected after hearing good news from other (maybe better) choices, all's set.

Been busy these days preparing. Have to see Dr.Lou lot more frequent cos I'm not gonna see him till February. Been in an extremely bad mood too. And Dad & Mum are making it worse. They've been nagging like never before. Like they're nagging for the next six months at one go. And giving super in-constructive advice for my packing.Been repeating the same things for weeks and talking to me like I'm some 3 year old kid.  Feel like committing suicide. Grr.

I think I can't arrange my thoughts properly now. And I don't feel like talking to others right now.

Happy 2 weeks, my new friend! :)

Spent 2 weeks with my new friend. Haven't decided whether to make it a 'he' or 'she'. Haha. At first wanted to get Galaxy Ace, but didn't want to spend so much, so decided on getting a Galaxy Mini.

But didn't know it was too popular or what. Asked around everywhere. No ready stock everywhere, had to wait at least one week. >< Since I was supposed to accompany mum for her medical checkup in Singapore, so hunted for it there :) NO STOCK EVERYWHERE TOO. But placed a booking with MobileSquare in Far East. Cheapest price in Sg I reckon :)

^Original in sealed box!
(It was opened by my aunt when she collected it for me)

^Deboxing is always fun! Though I couldn't do the honours of breaking the seal :D

^Everything!

I have not taken off the plastic on the screen yet. Gonna get a good screen protector before I dare to take it off. I don't think it's Gorilla Glass. XD

I didn't regret getting this instead of Ace. :) There's swype, I can make do with the camera, and I could download lotsa great apps from App Market. It's really good enough. Even mum was impressed with all the functions it holds. :) 

And it's in steel grey! Cooler compared to the lime green or the white variety :D 

(Y)

Only one wish of mine - Hope it lasts! :)

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows P2

Rewind: 23 July 2011

I didn't watch the Harry Potter movies since the Goblet of Fire, as I didn't really like the way the movies deviated from the books. So, I missed the subsequent movies. But this time, I couldn't miss this! (:

 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2! Deathly Hallows was my favourite book, and I immensely enjoyed the puzzle within. (:

Since this was the final movie, I should catch it. But it seemed that everyone watched it, or were going to watch it with their friends. Finally realised that eyra hasn't watched it yet, so we went to watch it in Perling Mall. 

Why Perling Mall? Near. Haha. Lazy to go all the way to CS or Tebrau to catch a movie. And Perling Mall was renovated not long ago. So I thought it should be okay.

Went to Pei Ling's house, and she drove us there :) First time I rode in her car. Then met up with Eyra in Perling Mall. Haha. Had some trouble deciding what to eat. That's the problem with that place. Only 3 restaurants after Sedap Corner shut down. So not much choice :X So we settled with McD in the end. Pei Ling watched the movie already, so she left after lunch. 

So we watched. 

It was a great movie... if I put the whole book behind me. Far too many parts were different from the book, and far too many interesting parts were left out. 

Too much running. I would prefer more battling scenes. Haha.It was Harry who thought about asking the Grey Lady, not Luna. And the diadem should be placed on a warlock's head or something like that, as Harry placed it there when he hid his Potions book. But in the movie it was in a box. Tsk. And Ollivander didn't know anything about the Deathly Hallows, but Ollivander in the movie knew. And I found the part where the Goblin was imperiused funny. It shouldn't be so obvious. >< And the part where Neville killed Nagini wasn't right too. Lots more. I couldn't remember all of the parts. 

But there is one part which deviated from the book that I did like. The part where Snape visited the Potter's house after James & Lily Potter were killed. I almost cried when Snape held Lily in his arms,  with baby Harry in the background. That was a great addition. (Y) Touching much. 

"After all this time?" "Always." 

Snape's the real hero of the series, some say. And I kinda agree :)

And there's another hero :) 

Isn't he handsome? :D

All in all, had a great day! :)

一直都在.

Spot on.

I guessed it right again. As always.
My intuition never fails.(:
You really do like her.
But you shouldn't. She's famous for the pain she causes.
And it seems that you've been too close for comfort.

Rewind: 8 June 2011

Social networking really connects people. Heh. Just like how Twitter connects us Twitter buds! If we don't count those primary classmates' meeting everyday in Raymond's car, this is the first ever gathering I went to since graduating from primary. Heh.

Take care Qing

I'm back. But not to tell stories. Heh. It's the last day of June. Which means.. tomorrow is the first day of July. Qing's leaving to Aussie. ):

I'll be back! :)

I haven't been into serious blogging for quite some time. (: If we don't count those random updates. Haha.
Since my official last day at Super (10th June), I've been out every single day!
Dental appointments, bank, getting my documents done, parents'day rehearsal, church, badminton, and outings!
So much so that my parent's are erm.. 'displeased'.
So please try not to ask me out at the moment, okay? :)

I'll be back in no time (hopefully) to write about the fun things I did the past two weeks. Tunggu saya kay? :)

23.6.11

I've decided...

Not to let you know my feelings.

I'll be better for you and me. :)

Bye bye :)

I'm officially out of job now. :)
It's hard to decide whether I love or hate the job. Maybe both?
Yet, I became used to it. Used to seeing the kids, seeing my colleagues, and doing what I do day after day.
Life without these feels like there's something missing.
To think about it, I really miss them.
Miss them telling me what had happened in school, what happened at home, and everything else they liked to share with me.
I loved listening. It made me feel like a friend.

I wonder how are you kids doing too. I didn't tell some of you. Especially the lower primary ones. I didn't know how to. Sorry. 

Sorry for the harsh scolding all the time. I had to. :)

Even without me, be good please :)

Okay. So I got rejected by USM. Wasn't even called for interview. No dentistry, no pharmacy and not even dietetics. It was really a big blow.

What's left is NUS, AIMST and Manipal. NUS will be known any time now, and its bothering me a lot too. Wondering what course I would get. Wondering whether I could even get in.  Met quite a number of fellow applicants on ReCom and Lowyat. Some even have 4.0 with Band 6. Some with strings of A*s. Compared to them, my results are nothing to shout about. Even if I could get in, could I stand the stress studying with all these crazy people?

I.want.a.new.phone

Nokia phone has gone bonkers.

I want a new phoneeee~!

Samsung Galaxy Ace, okay no?

One month. (:

我说,我好像早点上大学. :(

27.2.11

1. I work each day with mixed feelings. Enjoyable yet unbearable. I can't decide just yet.

2. The stupid chronic coughing fits could not be cured.Torturing me each day. 

3. I still don't know what to do with my future. It's like losing confidence day by day. Seeing others struggling with assignments or having fun in university makes it worse. Though it may seem a little exaggerating, but I really feel like I'm wasting away.
