really love my friends who are so nice to me... and i guess i should give my dear housemate honorable mention for being concerned though appearing not to... =P posted a pic of my three girl pals hanging out in my room doing work last sunday morning, complete with packets of snacks of course. hee sumei is munching happily away.
my poor feet ache after a day of walking at least 6 cm taller.... i think my interview was alright but at some point in time i just felt terribly ironic... cos they were asking me things like so how do you motivate yourself? how do you deal with stress?? part of me wanted to shout.. i just brood all day and get upset over nothing... but obviously that would screw up my whole interview so i had to be fake and say hmmm oh... i try to give myself little rewards whenever i accomplish something... set little goals.... oh well. now i am getting paranoid say if i do get in... and the director would find me a fakeo for being not highly motivated nor good at dealing with stress.. haha. oh well. i guess i should give myself a little pat on the back for not screwing things up at least...
then right after my interview i decided to play it safe and check my schedule... and to my horror i discovered that i HAD NOT changed my astro 10 to p/np..... so i had to run in uncomfortable shoes to campbell and to my relief it wasn't too late... goodness knows how my gpa would fall if i were stuck with letter-graded astro 10!

girls hanging out! 

=( something happened today that was entirely my fault. dear shimin, why can't you be more careful and think before u act.... well instead of brooding what i should prob do is to take this as a painful lesson, get it settled and move on..

today's colder than yesterday...my weather bug registered 10C this morning... and even though it's relatively sunny, i can feel the coldness in the air...
so the straits times has revamped its website... perhaps in its bid to be more 'cosmopolitan' or professional or whatsoever but it actually annoyed me when i first visited the site... cos now, readers hav to register to access its articles.... well... reputable papers such as ny times and washington post hav that... but somehow when a local paper does that to me i get a bit irritated.. haha. like erm why so ma fan.. i could read it without any hassle last time.... ok maybe i'm just biased. dun really like the squarish headings either... well i suppose they are supposed to look 'cool' but they are a little too small and strain my eyes.
was too tired and fell asleep reading my articles yesterday night, but woke up earlier to do a little outline for my 10-12 pg poli sci midterm due next week... feel excited whenever i get some idea and want to put it into words into some zai essay.... but it always ends up that i take so much longer than most ppl to write something decent... and end up finishing everything like the night before... but keeping this in mind, i shall try to start early this time round. but beforeo that i hav 3 long articles to plough through for my ps section tmr =(

my fingertips are freezing as i type this. woke up this morning to an extremely cold room and wanted to just snuggle under my fleece blanket and not go to sch... it's raining!!! =( and the wind is so so cold. hate rain... it's not supposed to rain in october! all the signs of winter are starting to appear. was walking past sproul yesterday and teh ground just in front of sather gate was just covered with dried leaves... my computer says 11C right now but it feels like it's below 10. bbrr.
think i am distracted... not doing as much work as i hoped i would.. even though i reallly tried. it's nice driving ppl late back at night though. with soothing music and nice smooth roads that allow ur car to just cruise along... eeks hav to study for jap vocab quiz now... 40 min before i set off for sch..

i am really happy today... it was like an intensive girls' day out kinda thing haha. cos i was practically with the kearney house the whole day... from having three guests in my room in the morning, to going for the spice of life festival with shiying... to studying at a cafe wtih shiying and jacqui, then safeway with sumei and shiying and finally dinner at their place. it was really fun and enjoyable though, although highly unhealthy since we practically snacked the whole day as well... devoured packets of calbee crackers, wheat thins, potato chips.. didn't get that much work done, but not totally unproductive either.. so happy nonetheless... i hav grown incredibly snacky... and have developed a craving for salty snacks.. i foresee a lot of work ahead this week though, what with telebears appointments, jap quizzes, astro hws, honors meeting writeup, upcoming midterm and interview preparation.. but better busy than idle i suppose =)
