i've been nothing short of busy!

read readings
read more readings
read read more readings

AND. spent another 59 bucks today on 3 books-for my lit module.
waiting for godot
prime of miss jean brodie
the tempest

two of which are plays. wonderful! and i haf to read 'em! just started browsing through my cultural studies text-which costs $48.92-and it is so darn cheem. every sentence gotta read and re-read many many times before a rough meaning comes to mind. *congratulate me c'mon shake my hand.

haf been sleeping at 2am. but i get abit of bumpy sleep on the 45 min train ride to clementi. *imagine if i dont get a seat at all-which happens. congratulate me c'mon shake my hand

nus is quite a cool place. the area outside the co-op always has some bazaar selling rather cool stuff. adidas jackets were going at $36 but they didn't haf my size so yeah. they haf iscream yoghurts, the typical pasarmalam food :) cool belts, they even haf starhub people rallying over there. but i'm always rushing to and fro here and there can't walk properly!

monday's dinner session was at engin block mac. its a good time to unwind indeed. *she goes wakeboarding, you go whiteboarding. and oh uncle gavin was there too cos he lives nearby.

tomorrow's my free day hallelujah! BUT there is SO much reading to do i'll just be sitting here reading the entire day *think big spectacles. congratulate me c'mon shake my hand

i'll end with a convo between dad & i which just took place.
dad, helping to clear the laundry pile, holding 3 bras: whose are these? not yours right?
me: that one, right hand one, is mine
dad: this one ah. EE! (throws the bra at my laptop screen where i'm working)
me: OIE! eh look got flower one. very comfy somemore.
dad, walking out of the room: really ah? let me try try TRY!


THE END.
draw the curtain, the play is over

GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL

finally, i have the wireless done up and i can access the computer :) anyways. into 3rd week of school tmr and my first tuto starts tmr. abit scary, but... well we'll see how it goes lah. hope i get to make more friends, lest my unilife will truly turn out quite sad.

five modules. one which i totally dislike, no choice. there are, my friends, many many readings to do for each module. the load is coming onto me! AH. gotta pour over all those readings, read the text, understand blabla make sure your readings dont accumulate too much (thanks friend for the advise). terrible!

was searching the net for examples of language play just now-in preparation for my nature of language tutorial on tues. rather interesting finds!

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committedto an asylum for the verbally insane. Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?

preparing for my social work tuto now. SIGH. gotta find theories that support my observations of my nearly3yearold cousin. its a good thing, thank God, that i start school at 2pm tmr.

tmr dinner with the NUS GANG again! haha i love it. at least i know i haf some friends in campus and we actually do meet up. jo k ryn mei marisa john blabla. had dinner tog the monday that just passed, at munchie monkeys.

i'm kinda looking forward to this weekend and the next!! :)
1-3rd: FL comm retreat at laguna country club hahahah
8-10th: YMLC at batam!! yeah baby.

for now, back to early childhood development.

where i belong, where i keep my heart and soul
where dreams come true for us

blog! blog! blog!
that's right... i've been neglecting my blog. cos i've been busy busy, always fleeing every other day to mac with my laptop. yes, i've got one! gotta flee to mac to use their wireless cos no wireless at home. yet. and so every time i go there, its just quick quick check modules, bid, monitor bidding for awhile, go home.

where we'll walk together hand in hand
towards a future so bright

but then came monday night when i couldn't load the mac site for using wireless! and i was just.. mygosh.. how on earth am i gonna get things done like that?! sigh. well life continues, and ytd & today i fled to selene's house to use her com. thanks selene, if you're reading this which i dont think you are. right. bidding like crazy. finding modules like crazy, cos i couldn't take anymore exposure mods-all vacancies taken at round 1c, of which i was allocated only 1 out of 4 i bidded for. it was a total failure. i underestimated the close bidding period. :(

where i belong, where i keep my heart and soul
where we are one big family

but. well, round 2a of bidding ended today at 5pm. and selene helped me check the results which came out early (supposed to be out only at 11pm). she kept doing it the singapore idol way. "are you ready ornot"-in that terribly grave tone making u think its the end of the world. then she said "you don't have to come to my house tomorrow". and i just..... heaved such a heavy sigh of relief i bet the globe turned 15 degrees clockwise. i really can't imagine all that bidding all over again! terrible disaster. disaster. oh how i thank my Lord.

i want the whole world to know
i wanna shout it out loud

although i wont be taking the mods that i wanted quite badly, i guess it'll still work out fine. since i prayed about it and made a choice to trust God. its not easy, when i had 3 really bad setbacks in a single week. wont write it here. i think i'll bore you to death.

that this is where i know
i belong

aniway, happy national day one and all :) i loved the fireworks. and i've decided-if i'm to get married, he must propose to me with wonderful shooting fireworks behind him. :D

actually, much has happened since i last blogged. i guess so much til i dont know what to write, its all a mess in my head lah.

oh special thanks to you if you've helped me in one way or another in this whole bidding frenzy. charmaineweng (i bet you're not reading this), joannekok (you might be reading this so, thank you :)), lindatan (u can't be reading this so yeah), julianachan (eh... i dont think you're gonna read this haha), and this senior charmaineweng introduced me to online to help me. thanks friends :) oh and erm. thanks driel, for being sensitive that nite at macs.

alas, joannekok is back with us. touche ahoy :)

the sun cannot compare to the glory of your love
there is no shadow in your presence
no mortal man would dare to stand before your throne
before the Holy One of heaven
