Halloween

i'ts halloween today... slept at 5am and woke up at 815 just in time to catch 52L to sch... but was still 5 min late.. and i was just settling in when i realized this guy two seats away had blood all over his chin and after recovering from this mild shock i realized it was halloween... haha. then was going to language lab in dwinelle to do my listening ex when yingping and i saw this guy with a knife stuck into his neck walking around with ease.. haha. guess it's a nice little distraction from all the work and the monotonous life sometimes...... and it rained this morning!! and it was so so cold. my laptop says 9 degrees now... was supposed to come home to sleep but now that i am back i dun really feel sleepy at all though. and on the way back home i saw little kids dressed up as eeyores, lions, tigers, fairies, butterflies and bumble bees etc and they were seriously so so cute. Singapore pre- school kids shoudl celebrate halloween too.... kids look really really cute in all these costumes... =) haha after raving about halloween i hav to admit that i wun be doing anything for halloween though, a stark contrast to my enthusiasm last year..... hunting for costumes to wear to castro... dabbling with makeup and applying it on ppl's faces.... will never forget the long long walk to the SF bus terminal at like 2am or somoething, only to discover that the last bus back to berkeley had left and we had to take taxi.... haha will prob spend today cooped up at home. =P quite sad. the cat returns tics were sold out... cept the late night show at 10pm on sunday....

got my econ 131 midterm back and i did so horribly i am totally disgusted with myself...
=( sigh. felt very depressed yesterday but i guess i can't keep brooding also. will just try really hard for my homeworks nad final and hope i wun continue to do so badly....
slept really early last night and woke up at 5am today to try to work on my PEIS paper and i wrote one paragraph. adn that took me three hours!! haha.. i am so pathetic. it seems a pretty good idea to sleep early and wake up early to do work actually... cos i find myself unable to remain awake after a long day.. usually. it gets really dark really early these days.. .after daylight saving. like at 630 pm it's almost pitch dark. so yucky. felt really nice today also, cos jacqui made some cookies yest and gave me some today! and she put them in this nice little paper box i felt very touched and spoilt.... like it's been so long since i received little gifts from ppl.... haha i sound deprived. i am not lah, well it's just that it reminded me of JC, or even sec sch.... when i think i used to write a lot of notes to people and people actually replied and somehow i am just very touched by little things in life....little gestures which may mean nothing to ppl actually but then i just feel so "warm" when ppl bother to do something for you......They are going to show The CAt Returns at Pacific Film Archive this sunday... can finally go watch it =)

i am turning into a baking freak. in addition to my banna cream pie i made on thurs night i made pancakes this morning and maple cornflake shortbread...... yummy pastries but highly sinful. brought it to shiying's place just now and glad most of it was finished! =)
went to SF alone this afternoon, looking forward to enjoying an afternoon of indulgence in art haha. cos there's this marc chagall exhibition at the SF MOMA (Museum of Modern ARt) nad the show is ending soon so i thought i should go catch it. cos i like marc chagall and since i am slightly freer this weekend i should prob break away from my monotonous weekend routine and go somwhere... felt really liberated when i was walking from the bus terminal to the museum....but to my HORROR there was this really really long line of ppl outside the museum waiting to buy admission tics. it was seriously the first time i witnessed such a crowd outside a MUSEUM.... i guess i underestimated the popularity of this exhibit.... and app ppl had to wait for 2 hours before getting to the front... and today being an unusually hot day i dind'dt fancy standing in the sun for 2 hours..... so i went shopping instead... sigh. and bought a sweater.. haha. oh well what a failed trip.
hav a 10 page PEIS paper to write, on econ growth and devt.... feel somewhat inadequate cos havn'et been wriitng any paper for so so long.... yet i feel really compelled and inspired to do a good job cos the topic is intersting... but i have been ignoring my PEIS for the past two weeks cos of midterms and as such hav accummulated a substantial amount of undone readings.... sigh. shall try to do work tmr and be productive!!
