everything with fries

I've lost my motivation for mugging ):

I think I've mugged too much for the semester so I'm rather burned out now. Totally didnt feel like doing anything at all after the 2250 end of term test yesterday.

Slacked my day away. How awesome! Hahaha.

We all need a break sometimes. I had a great one doing nothing! Hurhur.

Anyway, I went to take the H1N1 vaccination today. Damn pain lah! Okay fine, I have a low tolerance for pain, especially needles.. but still! :X My left arm feels paralyzed. Lol.

Had dinner at "Everything with Fries" at Joo Chiat. Hmm.. the food isnt fantastic, and I think its rather overrated. Probably wont go back there again. But but but, their "One Egg Soup" is good! :D

I forgot to take a photo of the soup before we greedily slurped everything! Hahaha. So here's a photo of the empty bowl! :P

Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich and Salt and Vinegar Shoestring Fries

Sour Cream and Onion Straight Cut Fries

I had Grilled Pork Chop with Curry Straight Cut Fries. No photos, coz I forgot! Hahaha.

I wanted to try the cupcake, but I was too full ): Oh oh, the Vanilla Malt Shake is good :)

Oh yea, I was reading the tweets of the 987 DJ, Daniel Ong. Some of the jokes are damn funny!!

Man: If I were to rewrite the alphabet, I wld put U and I together.

Woman: Well, if I were to rewrite it, I would put F and U together.

What did the instructor at the school for Kamikaze pilots say to his students?

"Watch closely. I'm only going to do this once."

Man: Your place or mine?

Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine.

Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.

Woman: But would you stay there?

Q: Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to feel and act normal again?

A: When the kids are in University.

Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?

A: Yes, pregnancy.

Q: doc, my wife is two months pregnant now. When will the baby move?

A: With any luck, right after he finishes college.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

If Barbie's so popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?

Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?

Never criticize your wife's faults. It might have been those faults that kept her from getting a better husband.

... and a lot more! Hahaha.

4 years

Okay, I'm supposed to be sleeping now, but heck :P

2250 paper today was okay.. didnt memorise much, didnt remember much, and waffled my way through the paper as usual by throwing smoke bomb. I forgot to eat waffles yesterday! ): Should have eaten waffles then I could have waffled more today. Haha!

Met up with Janet to discuss my DDP module planning after that. She told me that coz my home faculty is Business, I die die have to do double honours! But here's the good news, I can double count all my NOC modules towards my Business Specialisation! :D Means I wont be wasting any modules at all, just that my Business degree will be rather general since I will have no specialisation. But it doesnt really matter I guess, since I'll be doing an integrated thesis, which means that I still have to choose an area to focus on (most probably Management). Hee.

Janet was super Aunty. She was telling me all about how to backdoor and "cheat" and then recommending me good looking Profs to go hunt down for my integrated thesis. Then she was also teaching me how to stalk Profs on the staff directory...etc, and gave me some names of the cute ang-moh Profs in Biz school. Damn funny! But here's the good news for the day:

I can graduate in 4 YEARS (if I do special sem in my 4th year) with:
- Bachelor in Business Administration (Honours) + Minor in Technopreneurship
- Bachelor in Computing (Information Systems) (Honours) - Service Science, Management, and Engineering Specialisation

But here's an extract from Tuesdays with Morrie which I koped from Steph's blog :)

“Have i told you about the tension of opposites?” he says.

The tension of opposites?

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth.You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take things for granted.”

“A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”

Sounds like a wrestling match, i say.

“A wresting match.” He laugh. “yes, you could describe life that way.”

So which side wins, i ask?

“Which side wins?” He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth

“Love wins. Love always wins”

2250

I have no idea what I'm doing online when I have a 20% end of term test tomorrow which requires us to memorize 16 chapters of the book. I think I'm getting old... I used to be able to memorise stuff quite well, considering that I took Pure History. Hurhur! But now, I cant even remember something which I read 10 seconds ago. Zzz. I just think that its super dumb to have a closed book end of term test worth 20%, and then another open book final exam worth 50% 1 week later -.-"

Went to Coffee Bean at Guthrie House to study today. Havent been there in a long time. Must have been 2+ years since A Level prelims. Hmm.. miss the times there mugging with the class girls, especially Miao. They've changed the orientation of the furniture there.. and they no longer allow people to study at certain tables. Boo.

Anyway, I've finally cleared all the million and one projects and assignments and tests I have this semester. I was just doing a rough count...

MKT1003 - 1 group report, 1 individual assignment, 1 group presentation
CS1105 - 1 group presentation, 1 group report
CS2102 - 1 group project, 1 mid term
CS2105 - 4 individual assignments, 1 pair work programming project, 1 mid term
CS2250 - 1 group video project, 1 group presentation, 1 end of term test
CS2261 - 2 programming assignments (the second one is super xiong)
MA1521 - 1 mid term

Okay lah, I slacked through the 2102 and 2250 group project... but still! Did quite a bit of work. Havent mugged so hard consistently throughout the semester before X: I hardly have days which I can sleep till 5pm lah! ): When my last paper end of 5 December, I am so going to sleep as much as I want and catch up on my much needed and lacking beauty sleep! Hurhur.

Am keeping my fingers crossed about tomorrow's end of term test. Lets hope that whatever amount I mugged will stay in my brain and be useful tomorrow. Hope I dont regret my choice :X

After the test tomorrow, I shall start mugging for Finals!! :D

I think I've mugged too much throughout this semester that I'm losing the mugging steam. I just spent 4 hours online doing nothing but surfing Google reader, tumblr, posterous and facebook. Hurhur! I think I'm a social networking freak :X

Here's my list of post exams to do:
- Listen to 933 《你还有个我》 radio show again
- Watch all the new episodes of Heroes, Gossip Girls, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, 90210 which I have not been watching for the past month! D: !! I need my dosage of drama serials!!
- Watch TED talks online -- been missing out alot too! ):
- Watch Womens Conference videos online -- looks interesting but havent got the chance to sit through them
- Watch all the movies in my computer!!
- Sift through the stack of institutional memories CD and start preparing SOP for leadership transition
- Install windows 7 on my old laptop
- Settle NES admin stuff -- CCA points activity allocation, financial year accounts audit, EGM, restructuring... zzz

and the list goes on... but I bet I will end up completing less than half the list. Hurhur!

ulcer

Ulcer in my mouth hurts ):

Woke up today and my throat was even worse. Couldnt even speak without hurting... but I felt better towards the evening after spamming lots of water. Lets hope I'm better tomorrow too! :X

Went for Marketing lecture in the morning. So diligent of me! :) Haha. But I'm glad I did coz it was a damn important revision lecture. Phew! :D 2105 evaluation was zzz. I think we got almost full marks. I saw the evaluator gave us a 1 out of 2 for one of the sections, totally unjustified. I think we totally deserve fully marks, so I shall email him to ask whats wrong if we dont get full marks. Hmm.

Spent the rest of the day reading 2250. Didnt manage to memorise much too coz I wasnt really feeling well. Just wanted to sleep ): Skipped AP and S@S meeting. Zzz :X

I should seriously sleep earlier and sleep more! Time to chiong all the memorising work for 2250 tomorrow! D: !!

Anyway, I'm really excited planning for my vacation! :D Hee.

Original plan:
11-18 Dec - Beijing
18-24 Dec - Taiwan

Revised plan:
6-11 Dec - Taiwan
11-18 Dec - Beijing
18-24 Dec - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing

Current plan:
11-18 Dec - Beijing
18-24 Dec - Taiwan

Intended plan:
11-18 Dec - Beijing
18-24 Dec - Taiwan
24-?? Dec - Other parts of Taiwan + Hong Kong

Ye Qing and I just cant decide whether to spend our Christmas in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Singapore! Hahaha. So excited (: I'm gonna have a wintery Christmas this year! :) Its like my dream Christmas. Hee.

sick

Woke up this morning with a fked nose and fked throat, and the first thought that went to my head was GGXX. Chui.

Spammed lots of fluid, aloe vera, redoxen and panadol. No effect! D: !!!

Shall get an early rest tonight, for once!

Missed 2105 tutorial this morning X: Totally unintentional. 2102 demo was okay. We didnt implement the advanced search thing, so its not full marks. But I guess its good enough! (: Marketing tutorial was crappy as usual. Suddenly feel damn stressed with all the exams coming up.

I remember last semester before exams, I was all excited to get the papers over and done with so I can start writing my concept paper for NES. Time flies!!

Didnt do much studying today despite coming home early. Tomorrow, I must finish reading all the remaining 2250 chapters!!

I've found a more effective way of studying since I always get distracted by facebook... study ON facebook! :D Haha. I've taken to typing important points out and spamming people's wall with it. Aaron and Tianshun have become my unfortunate victims since they're taking 2250 too, lol. Tomorrow, I shall go on a massive spamming spree! :D

Oh, and I forgot if I mentioned that my neighbours downstairs are renovating their house for 4 months.. Zzz. And the best part is, the estate committee has just hired a contractor to repaint the building. So now every morning apart from having to sleep through the drilling noise, I also have random contractors standing on stilts outside the window watching me sleep. Zzz!

udders

Was planning to wake up at 10am today.. ended up waking at 1+pm X: Fail!

Haha.

Finally started mugging for the 2250 end of term test next week.

Read Chapters 1 to 9 today.

1105 report is done and submitted.

I'm finally clear of projects and assignments!

Time to start mugging for finals (:

Had dinner at Upper Bukit Timah, then went for dessert at Udders.

Baileys & Bourbon, Tiramisu and Whiskey Java Chocolate

I love the Tiramisu and baileys. The whiskey java chocolate was a little too strong for my liking though X:

Funny shirt that Kenneth was wearing

Time for bed!

christina!

Ahh. Not much productive studying done today. Only read the last 2 chapters of MA1521, but I'm pretty lost. Maybe I should go for lecture on Tuesday since its the last lecture X:
Bleh!

Was supposed to mug, but I ended up doing random stuff like...

I've been wanting to do it for pretty long, coz I was rather inspired by minxuan and Audrey. After exams, I shall go organise all my social networks! :)

Facebook - for everyday social networking
Email - for school/NES
Twitter - for following people and tweeting random thoughts
Blogger - to pen down my daily life
Friendfeed - aggregates all my social networking activities
Linkedin - online CV
Posterous - for stuff which are inspirational/educational
Tumblr - for the pretty/emo things :)
Shared feeds - for the latest news/updates
Skype - Doh :P

Anyway, the Taiwan trip has been rescheduled coz of airticket issues. So now the Beijing trip is 11-18 December, and after which, I'll be travelling to Shanghai and Hangzhou with Ye Qing, then rot in Beijing for a few days before coming back on Christmas eve.
I hope the Taiwan trip is changed to 6-11 Dec instead of 26-31 Dec... Otherwise my whole holiday will really be spent travelling... X: My parents are so going to kill me!

motivated

Went for the last 2261 lecture today coz everyone says its damn important. Turned out to be not very important X:

Then drove down to Anson Road for an interview with SAS. Sigh, dont think I'll get the internship too coz of the short period of availability ): The stint seems pretty okay for me, since its more on project management and less on coding. Boo.

Went back to school to mug after that. Didnt manage to mug much coz I was too distracted by MSN! Hahaha. But anyhow, I'm happy coz I just finished writing my 1105 report, and I'm washing my hands off it. This effectively means that I'm finally done with all my projects and assignments!!

Time to start mugging for end of term test next week, and final exams!

I'm lagging behind too much on MA1521 - 3 tutorials and 2 chapters... D: !! Tomorrow, I will catch up on MA1521, read the 1105 textbook for the first time, and hopefully have some time left to start on marketing.

Motivation to mug!! :D :D
