Handed in the assignment yesterday and received another one today. Having to do an assignment of such magnitude within three days was a nightmare. I
should have done it in KL but as you would have already guessed, I wouldn't/didn't have the discipline to shut myself up in one room whilst the rest chatted and laughed up in the main hall.
My KL trip was alright.. laughed alot and for the first time in 321221 years, the cousins went out together for lunch. hmmm actually the eldest cousin was missing but it's alright.. it was the younger 2 that were always so hard to get out of the house. So we had a nice chat over south-western eggrolls, chicken and pasta. Basically as usual all the days spent there were just packed with foood. Of the three nights 2 were spent having a full 8 course dinner at restaurants, and the last night was catered indian food as my uncle held a small party at the main house. I had penang food, and I forgot the origin of Chili's. But all in all i still lurrveee the food there alot. Only thing that was missing was Nando's but there was no time to fit that in. Oh yes and not forgetting, I had wild boar meat curry cooked by grandma which was the best of the best curry. :) That was, bliss.
Then i got back late on saturday night and ploughed through outstanding homework till 3 plus. Got up early the next morning, had breakfast with family, went for pilates then sent sis off back to perth. After which we adjourned to an uncle's place for dinner and oh my his dog i tell you, needs some anti-hyper jab every seconds or so. It LEAPS. nvm. it JUMPS to my waist and scartches his long nails on my fresh tee. And mind you, I adore dogs but this one's seriously too hyper. Cross bread of poodle and jack russel. Before I could even touch her head my hand was in her mouth. -_-
So through the past few nights I've been working on the map assignment and finally met the dateline yesterday afternoon. Whereby I heaved a huge sigh of relief, only to have my breath cut off my yet another slope report slammed in my face. How nice. So the group stayed back till late in a bid to try and fish out some information or at least complete a bit but it was the ultimate. I couldn't even think straight anymore due to sleep defecit. Right from math lesson at 830am I was already in between lapses of zoning in and out. And I skipped english class just to finish up my assignment and deal with the INSTEP stuffs. Feeling guilty cos i chose english class to skip as the teacher is quite a wuss. And I so am going to get retribution in the future. Argh.
Talking about INSTEP right, judging from the time and effort I've spent on this whole thing I really hope and pray hard that my application will be granted. I mean i have to plod to uni on my free day later just to go settle things again. My geog coordinator has been a great source of help in helping us organise everything and he's even gonna throw in a recommendation letter. So now what we've gotta do is settle the pedagogy side and our application would have been complete. Our, meaning qing qing and me. Yes!!! I've got someone going with me!!! if we do manage to squeeze into the same uni that is.. if not either she or i will go to uni of auckland, whereas the other will go to uni of melbourne. hopefully.
Hmmm and so next week will my mid semester break but almost every day has been booked up. So much for a so called week break.
Monday - problem based learning presentation meeting
Tuesday - field trip to tuas incineration plant
Wednesday - field trip to chestnut water works and another place
Thursday - back to sajc for stingray!! then pedals and pipes at night
Friday - math test
Saturday - IMM with ah hean to choose wedding gown
Sunday - church then pilates
Yup so basically when uni starts again I will really feel the brunt of it all. Looking at the immense load of datelines coming up in March, I really do feeling already faint. Work work work work. Till the three months of hols I shall work my damn ass off!!!!!!!!! Oh well at least last night I had a well deserved sleep.
Wonder how my sis is doing in Perth as well with her future in-laws. hahaha and of course the good food which she is probably devouring right now.
On to more family news, my cousin is yeah finally getting married!! haha after all our nagging and pushing and shoving, she's finally going to tie the knot this coming June. And I guess I can only offer all the help she needs from Singapore though I have mixed feelings about this marraige. But it's her choice in life so we should all support her and make sure she gets the most lavish wedding of her life. :)
I've got 2 pretty roses lying on my table and a nice box of chocz chocolates in my fridge. haha thanks guys!!!
V-day is really different in uni as compared to my previous schools. haha you're right sarah, vday felt like any other day in uni, aside from the lovely extra gifts. But there was no atmosphere at all, unlike the really hyped up days we used to have. This saturday is the funfair!!!! I've never been that attached to sajc but now i do feel a tinge of sadness upon knowledge that the school is no longer gonna be in that same spot i used to go to for 2 whole years. The flight of stairs which i fell from during the "stairs peak period", the times we spent in the reading room(yes even the dictionary time), along the balcony stretch, and in the library, the times spent in the cafe just chit chatting and looking at other people..... sigh i really wish they could have had an sajc uni. haha I am still madly in love with sajc food. Comparitively the food in nie just can't match up. I shall bring my cam this sat and take loads and loads of pictures. so see you guys on saturday alrright!!!!
I shall go read up on slopes now. Yay.. ahhaha but i relaly do feel much better as compared to the past few days. Anyway it's time to embark on diet plan 4 for this year. hurhurhur.. I've already developed a nice sore throat from the nga-gu and muruku. Pineapple tarts here i come!!!!!!
