me and shaun agreed to meet up b4 he enlists, but we didn't. =( and he's going into army tmr... i'm gonna miss chatting with him. take care buddy.
i haven't met yuxin, cindy, mel and yizi for a v long time too. the last time i saw them was a gelare trip at parkway, and yuxin wasn't there =( and jean and jody are in aust...
sarah, agnes and meow... havent met them for an even longer time.
SARAH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
i won't promise to see all of u soon, but i really hope and want to meet up =T it's juz that we're all so busy with our lives, which are pretty different now. some are in army, some are in sch, some are working. everyone's so busy and caught up with their own stuffs.

in the midst of management accounting tutorial, adi and me had the following dialouge:
A: janet, can i ask u sth?
J: *suspiscious look* ok
A: did u gain weight from the hols?
J: *dumbfounded*
A: *giggles*
i didn't lor. but i gained weight since the last last hols, which was the end of year 1. sigh. from today onwards, when i eat chicken, i shall not eat the skin. i shall eat less of supper. i shall control and eat only at mealtimes. tidbits shall be consumed once in a while.
i've totally screwed up my bio clock. for the whole of last week, i've been sleeping at 5 everyday, and waking up after noon. it's gonna be tough to revert back to slping at 1 or 2 am and wake up at 9 am.
oh and i cut my hair yesterday. some pple commented that i look like a dean's-lister. i cant decide if it's a compliment or an insult. but it aint so bad to look like a nerd. RIGHT? right. but, i look like i live in the 80's cuz my hair looks so retro. it's straight cut lor. damn, should've juz layered it like i always do. it's the safest. =/ now i have bangs, but i push em to the side. so, i look pretty normal, cept that i look younger according to others. and i keep getting "oh your hair is sooo cute." argh, go away. c'mon hair, grow, grow, grow.
2 mid terms this saturday. one term paper due in 2.5 weeks. 1 new assignment due next week. it's an onslaught.
the year ones captains are whipping some dishes in the kitchen for the IBG captains' treat. i can hear some choppings, and laughter once in a while. i hope it'll be a good one, and that no one gets diarrhoea =)

charmaine has returned from her shopping spree in bangkok with more t shirts and shoes. she bought us girls earrings which she insist are in the shape of palm trees, but they really look like coconut trees to me =) she had massages everyday there! i'm so envioussssssssss, i wanna go too! but i really have no savings, and i'm not particularly willing to work during school term even if it's part time. i'm juz being the lazy me. i know i need to save... but i dun have any money to save! my allowance aren't fixed and i dun spend unnecessarily anyway. so working to earn $$ is the only way out. sigh.
i want more t shirts, jeans, sneakers, slippers (make em black) and bags. i haven't bought all these for a long time. and things in bangkok are dirt cheap! but buying a lot of em means it'll cost me MY fortune. yea, realize my fortune aint worth a lot?
ok, enough of dreaming of things that are unattainable in the short term, i.e. having money.
let's see. i've been working on the general bio assignment for 2 days now. and i think i'll be able to complete it tonight. except that the last question is pretty difficult to answer. and for my biz comm project, it's been taking up too much of my time these days. it's not difficult, but it's tedious work. there isn't much time left before this mid-term break ends. to be exact, tmr is the last day of the break. i haven't even tried to catch up on all my modules, cuz there's simply no time to. seriously, i don't think i've been wasting this break, but, i wish it could've been longer.

u would think that i'll be able to concentrate on catching up, but no. the kitchen was reeking with a sour smell that i've learnt, that was from this weird vegetable that the vietnamese was cooking. i happen to stay on level 5, where the common kitchen is. and tonite, the viets decided to have their fucking gathering there. they made so much noise, messed up the fucking kitchen and made the whole level 5 girls and all the rest who walked past the kitchen or to some other girls' room, tolerate with that horrible stench from the food they actually eat. so what if u pay the blk fund. yes u're entitled to use the kitchen, and the ingredients. and u have to bring ur whole fucking country to piss everyone off.
one thing is messing up the kitchen. another is u hafta clean the place up too. but it's not ok to clean up half-heartedly and leave things lying around washed and unwashed and juz leave as if ur goddamn maids will come and clean up after u. the blk comm isn't ur maid u motherfuckers.
all those ugly viets didn't arrange back the tables in the kitchen, left the utensils lying all around, unwashed crockery and a wok of oil under the fucking table. OH so u fuckers washed most of the stuffs, am i supposed to be thankful? go fuck urselves u understand?
i hate this. i hate living near inconsiderate pple. i really hope something bad happens to all u fuckers. like u fail all ur fucking modules in NUS or something worse.

last nite i had to format my desktop 3 times. dun ask me y 3 times. i dun even remember. i juz kept putting in the 3 recovery disks at different sequences when the computer prompt me to. and then there were stupid errors like my display wasn't installed properly and my communications had to be re-installed otherwise my freaking internet can't work. i got so nervous when i was able to log on last nite, but couldn't to surf. well, that's as good as not having a connection. woah, but when i finally could surf, when IE loaded yahoo, i was like jumping and screaming like a freaking monkey. i can't live without the internet.
anyway, mid-term break has started, but it's gonna end on thurs. that means i still have to go to school next fri. dumb isn't it. why can't NUS juz give us a full week of break. i don't think i have enough time to catch up on all my work in juz 4 days. aiyah, whatever lar. at least there's a break. shall juz shuddup and start mugging or something.
oh, i've changed m blog skin. i think it's nicer... even though kenny doesn't share my sentiment. i'm sick of that orange skin, even though it's nice. but, it's soooo orange. now i like this skin. but then again, i'll get sick of this skin eventually.

water on the surface of the earth evaporates, and condenses to form water vapour in the sky, i.e. clouds. the clouds in the sky become heavier with more water vapour. eventually, the accumulation of water vapour in the sky gets too heavy, they fall as rain.

I watch u while you're sleeping
Messy hair, chest bare, moonlight on your skin
I wanna breathe u in
In the silence, words come easy
I can tell u now just how simple it's been
To let u in
Don't move, this mood is a painting
We'll never find the same thing
Love, do not make a sound
Melt into me now
2 become 1
Love is so close to hurting
With a shake we could wake from our own dreaming
But we must make a vow
'Cause I have waited a lifetime
Now is the right time
Love, let's make time stand still
Let this moment last until
2 become 1
Like a bird owns its wings
Like a song belongs to melody
U belong to me
I fold your arms around me
Let your flesh, your breath, your love, surround me
Oh, u feel like home

ibg bowling
janet at 8:29 PM
i broke my personal record at bowling today! not that i remember my record, but i broke the 100 pt mark. i got 101!!
it's this inter-blk bowling competition held at The Chevrons, which has a really nice bowling alley. i partnered with jerm, and i really enjoyed myself today. played 3 games of bowling, not very exciting, and i felt very slpy, but still enjoyed it =) i got 77 for my 1st 2 games, and 101 for my 3rd game! spared 3 times, and had ONE strike!!!! =)
the last time i bowled was during the councillor's outing 1 mth back. and the last last time was like in sec 4 or sth. YEA, it was that long ago. i remember always going bowling after sec sch, cuz downtown east is juz a road away from my sec sch, hai sing high (or hai sing catholic). sarah, agnes, sheryl, me, and some other pple whom i dun remember bowled very often. but we played pretty much like shit. it's the company that counts. i miss sec sch. i miss all my sec sch friends, and all the other friends i made during my sec sch time.
i remember bowling at marina square, and the horribly embarrassing incident. i was ready to hit some pins, i held the ball, walked fwd, swung my right arm, and i released the god damn ball and it rolled backwards towards my friends. =( i swear i almost died with embarrassment.
but ya.... those were the days...

today's my free day! no lectures or tutorials!
went swimming today, and felt totally good after that. treated aaron to some cheapo lunch at YIH cuz it's his birthday today. cheapo, but it's the thought that counts alright? =)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!!
went IMM today, and bought some stuffs from this japanese shop
Daiso, where everything costs only 2 bucks each. i bought the hippo, with the intention of giving it to my buaya, but changed my mind cuz i want it now. the hippo is sooooo adoreable!! look at it!! it's smiling lorrrrr =) the eyes r sooooooo cuteeeeeeeee. *squeezes the hippo*
ya, for my friends who aren't staying in hall:
it's buaya week and i have someone to buaya and i have someone who is buayaing me. so for the whole damn week, everyone is juz exhibiting their love to their buayees (the person whom they are supposed to buaya) by cooking food, making big posters, declare their love with a secret identity (ya, like secret pal) and be really nice and sweet. and friday is the official closing of buaya week and then we'll reveal ourselves to each other, that's y i needed to buy gifts... from the $2 shop... lol.

i juz knew about the act of terrorism in russia and i've juz read the news about it. it's really saddening in the first place that such acts of terrorisms are carried out. what makes it worse is that children are targetted. really, there's no way anyone can justify this.
news said that weapons have been hidden under the floors since summer renovation. it was so well-planned beforehand... nothing could've stopped that from happening. those children who died were innocent. those who survived, like serm said, will have emotional scars that will stay with them for the rest of their lives and some of them wouldn't even really understand y that tragedy happened.
"A man came out carrying a naked girl, her hair matted, her body streaked with shrapnel cuts, her head lolled back. He laid her on the ground and tried to revive her. When she didn't respond, he started to cry."
i juz couldn't help but tear. all i can do is juz read, and feel sorry.
no one deserves all these.

i'm more
creative.
spent on discounted luxuries today.
webcam - $19
speakers - $39
mp3 player - $129
experience - priceless.
me, serm and kenny reached creative warehouse around 11.30am and the webcams that we wanted to buy were already wiped out. it's a Creative Webcam Pro which costs $19. i was very sad cuz i skipped my MA lect to go for the warehouse sale to buy webcam but it's sold out 1 hour after opening. i couldn't believe it lor. the only stock that was left was the Creative Webcam which costs $9 which doesn't have a clip. so we stood around the table hoping that pple who took the webcam Pro will return it if they didn't want it. then me and serm saw this vietnamese girl who was holding on to webcam Pro and serm tried to trick the girl to giving it up by having a loud conversation with me saying that actually the webcam pro is not very good. that girl actually overheard and was pretty concerned!! but serm was v kind to tell her actually the webcam pro is fine...
we stood around long enough that a creative sales lady came with a basket of webcams that pple returned and we managed to get our hands on only 5 when we're supposed to buy 6. so we decided to stand around some more. super serm went to walk ard and found 3 more boxes of webcam Pro! power lor. i was super high then. so we hogged on to the extra 1 like kiasu singaporeans in case someone else from hall wants to get it too. true enough, chye called to say he wants a webcam. u'd think that's the end. but no. serm found another boxes of the webcam pro. and we hogged on to them even tho we didn't need to. hahahaha. but eventually we bought 8 cuz serm's friend wanted it too.
the queue was goddam long. i think we spent half an hour or more queueing. oh, we spent above $200 and got a creative card. in fact, we even spent above $300 and we got a free singapore optical mouse. it's a gd mouse, juz that it's really ugly. we bought 4 speakers, 8 webcams, 1 keyboard/mouse and 1 mp3 player in total. great deals man.
came back and played with my webcam and it's really fun!!
had the first blk comm supper tonite! buaya week opening supper was a success. blk commies r great pple. =)
gonna hit the books now... sigh, reading on a friday nite while my neighbours r watching movie in the other room. well, hope i dun fall aslp too soon. ciao.

remember a post a few weeks back about "it's hardest to wake up when: blah blah blah"? it's hardest to wake up when u're in the midst of a dream. i'm not sure of that sentence is true anymore.
i was in the midst of a dream. the main gist of it is that i was in my tutorial class and my classmates were deciding who to present what tutorial questions. my alarm sounded off and i woke up immediately. =T bad bad dream. so bad that i couldn't wait to get out of it??

i'm catching up on last week's MA lecture by reading the text. i've read half the chapter on monday, and i'm trying to finish the rest today. but i realize i have forgotten the content of what i've already read on monday.
it happens. doesn't it? u read something and u understand it right there and then. but after a few days, u skim thru it again and realize u can't really recall what the hell exactly did u read and u juz feel like u dun really care anymore. right?
i can't even finish the chapter tonight anyway. finally reached the part about regression and how it helps to find fixed and variable costs of whatever that i cannot remember. i hate math, mathematical graphs, figures, calculations, algebra, differentatiation and all the other stuffs that r related to math. disgusting.
gonna go to creative's fair later in the morning. gonna get a webcam and new speakers. =) i live for luxuries and simple pleasures of skipping a useless lecture.
