oh no. why does something have to happen whenever i fly to the east coast. during spring break, bush declared war days before my departure to duke. and a day before i fly to boston, the east coast meets with an unprecedented emergency situation of power cutoff... REALLY hope i dun get stuck in the middle of nowhere in some airport all alone... though i might be just paranoid, my even more paranoid dad just called me to tell me that it is wise to cancel the trip. but guess i will go ahead and pray hard that nothing happens =) just that i do feel a little guilty making my parents worry... oh well.
ok shall leave for the airport now....

exams are finally over!!!!!!!!!! though i think i screwed up my 100b.... but nmind, shall not think about it for the time being. am flying off tmr afternoon... and hopefully it will be a week well spent in boston. and quite excited to go to niagara too! =) time passes by SO quickly and now that i look back, i cannot believe that i actually survived 8 weeks of waking up at 7am or earlier everyday to take 52L to sch.. and i didn't miss a single 8 am class =P think have been overloaded with econ this summer.....
going to see shu in less than 24 hours! yay. =) but feel a little strange too... cos everything's just so rushed i'm just flying blur blur to go meet her... and gonna 'leech' on her... and just follow her around.. =P it's really nice to hav a break.. after like so many weeks of studying... i jsut feel like bumming actually
feel excited about my new classes in fall.... but yet i dun feel like going to sch so soon =P and the incoming batch of freshmen have started streaming in... so when fall starts we would get to see them.... hope they are nice =)
ok i think i am just so drained i am not typing much stuff too..... and doubt i will be able to blog the entire next week... so till next fri!! =)

am extremely sleepy today. even though i went to bed relatively early yesterday night after unsuccessfully trying to study econ. and handed in a lousy hw today too for 100b... cos i didnt know how to do one question... and when i emailed my gsi he didn't reply, probably because he thought i did my hw last min and didn't deserve any help. oh well... sigh. there's a review session tom so it will be a long day again tmr... feel my life is so monotonous and routine. study. sleep. wake up. go sch. eat.
just read a touching article on zaobao.com... made me think of my own dad...suddenly feel like going home! haha for those who want some 'refresher' in chinese, u all can go read it too =P
here's the article

i dunno why but i feel that recently i've run out of things to write about.... maybe it's just a general 'xian' mood that i am in recently such that things that happen to me don't really seem that interesting anymore. i hope finals week won't be too bad though i dread all the studying that is required of me. attempted to study at library yesterday and thus camped at moffitt for a few hours yest =P and when i came down for a break i saw arthur chunyan and germaine at the comp area... haven't really seen arthur for a while actually. which makes me think how all of us, after moving out, have had less chances of hanging out together... in a way i do miss the days when all of us could just go to the dc and all eat together... and bum around till we get chased out =P now we are more 'confined' to our own houses...
so when i came down to have a break and after meeting the sgreans, i went to free speech to binch on a muffin and i was just sitting on the chair staring at the CNN screen when one old man, who happened to be seated in front of the computer in front of me, asked me if i could read out something that he had written to him, because his 'magnifying glass' or something was trashy and he could not read what he wrote. i tried my best to help but his handwriting was rather illegible and after a while he just said forget it.... but thanked me for helping. and gave me advice- to take care of my eyes. quite a random incident, but made me feel a little sad. i really fear the day when i grow old and everything starts failing... one thing i really wouldln't want to lose is my memory... cos living without memories is so sad. my world wouldn't mean anything to me then... oh well. haha strangely i have rambled on for a while without really realizing it. better go and study now....

went for karaoke for the first time yesterday night; thought it was pretty fun, esp since i think i've never been to a proper karaoke lounge before! =P then came back and to my own disbelief watched 3 episodes of mei li jia ting after going off online at 230 am which means that i slept at 5am.... sigh. should stop doing such things, esp since this is the week just before finals!! i'd better also stop thinking about random things and concentrate on my two finals next thurs. i hope i can. i had better. apparently according to my mum haagen daaz ice cream has the highest fat content or something. according to some reports in sg. and she once told my sis to call me to caution me about this.. haha. i never fail to have at least one pint of haagen daaz sitting in my freezer. sounds like i am not on the way to a slimmer me anytime soon. esp since yest i had a rubbishy lunch consisting of strawberry haagen daaz and starbucks mudpie ice cream. and my carrot cake. and one sausage. and welch's grape juice. have degraded from cooking to eating ready made stuff... =P i suspect next week too. but hopefully i'll be 'back'... in fall semester ;)
