i'll try harder.

yes, i am using my blog to keep up with what i need to do because i spend too much time online to regularly check my pretty artbox scheduler anyway (oh what a waste. note to self: must use scheduler more often even if it's just to write silly inane stuff). on a side note i'm not even online to do normal stuff like facebook or anything i'm online to check mail check ivle check forums drop jaw because of the crazy amount of forum postings panic because i haven't posted much spend the next half hour crafting a forum post then spend 3 minutes checking all the usual sites i go to and then go off to do work. i have no life. oh and i talk to my sister to and provide her with entertainment yay i'm so nice.

and there's still all the things to book for the family vacation at the end of the year.

too many things to do! why does it seem like the midterm break just made me busier than ever without relieving me of much work at all? i tell you it was just an excuse to pile on more work on us, the sneaky little pffts.

alright.

1) SE lecture tomorrow, must download lecture slides. also read readings possibly during train ride to school. pray that the 2 surprise quizzes they promised to spring on us does not happen tomorrow because i am so behind on my readings and revision.

2) study for japanese midterm on friday. i can't believe i haven't started on it at all.

3) print out lecture handout for japanese lecture on friday and look through it in preparation for the lecture quiz (yes they test us on things we are GOING to learn because they believe in the powers of self-study).

4) memorise dialogue for TC tutorial on friday.

5) prepare answers for EL tutorial presentation on thursday.

6) look for my poor starbucks tumbler which i left in the classroom on monday.

7) go through this week's EL lecture because i (oops) skipped today's lecture.

8) JS readings to be done by thursday.

9) book tickets.

10) clean up the pile of stuff i have been amassing on the couch the past 2 weeks before my dad comes back and screams at it.

11) SLEEP MORE i have been regularly sleeping past midnight and i am pretty sure i will become a sleep-deprived zombie soon.

12) study for EL midterm next tuesday.

13) think about EL affinity group project. by next tuesday because we have to give the other group our first draft 2 days before our tutorial.

14) SE reflection.

15) SE and JS group projects. have to get around to doing them soon.

16) READINGS! i have lagged behind for se, js and japanese. technically japanese doesn't have readings but there are tons of pre-class preparations that i have completely neglected to do because i simply don't have enough time.

17) GET A LIFE arghhhhhhhhh.

18) note to self: must complete point 17 by October 8th because that's apparently the scheduled date for the release of Wheesung's album. (: but since i can expect it to only reach our shores really late i guess i still have more time to get a life.

okay i need to sleep.

i will still be there.

end of recess week. why does time pass so fast??

nm1101e midterm tomorrow, and i am going in quite unprepared. i've basically just read through the readings, looked at the lecture slides and uh... okay that's it. maybe it's because i haven't studied properly for so long, or maybe it's because the readings are too different from the textbooks/lecture notes we're used to so i can't pick out the important bits at all. or maybe they're all important bits and i'm just too lazy to try and remember them all so i kid myself and tell myself that they're not all important. in any case i'm just going to cross my fingers and hope to smoke my way through.

haven't really done much during this week even though i had lofty plans of doing loads of stuff.

basically i only finished:

1) se fieldtrip report which was a totally rushed affair and is quite a bad piece of work. which reminds me i need to go submit it to turn it in.

2) typed out the second draft for writing 1 for japanese. must print it though.

3) did reading 2 for japanese.

4) read through nm.

5) read through el and finally got the hang of phonetics. i think. at least i'm marginally better now than at the start of the week when i really had no idea how to go about it at all.

things i haven't done but should get around to doing soon:

1) el affinity group project oh no oh no. must do this by thursday.

2) study for japanese i left this out because i thought the el midterm was right after recess week, when it's really the week after. must do this by friday.

3) se reflection for a random reading.

4) se group project. thankfully this isn't due so soon.

5) read up on js project topic. i borrowed like 8 books but didn't have the time to read them. going to have to either renew them or borrow them again.

6) get up-to-date on my readings! i haven't done my week 6 readings for js and se. and i need to do week 7 readings for js and se too.

i get the feeling the second list is much longer and i have forgotten some important stuff.

okay. i will sleep early and hope the extra sleep makes me cleverer for nm tomorrow.

oh, and on a totally random note, google chrome is much nicer than firefox!

if you follow the wrong star

wheesung's going to have his american debut after his 6th album is released in october! and ne-yo will be helping to write the songs on his debut album. plus ne-yo will be featured in a song that was supposed to have been part of michael jackson's album. tell me how much better can it get. i'm so happy for him. and i've always thought wheesung was something like korea's ne-yo so it's really amazing that they're going to work together. but there's going to be a lot of pressure on him to make this album a good one because fans like me will be anticipating it so much.

i'm really happy even though english is slowly but surely killing me.

okay i doubt anyone really wanted to know about that haha. alright back to english!! i can't believe today is friday already. i am really not looking forward to going back to school, considering how horribly unprepared i am. but time moving so quickly also means that the date for wheesung's 6th album release draws closer and closer.

it's so easy to make a fangirl happy. (:

that's all i need.

okay even though he has quite the unfortunate english name i think he's very very very good-looking. and he totally does not look his age! and i think they make a very nice couple.

oh and in case you were actually going to watch the video (i wonder how many of you will) it starts at the nice bit so you don't have to watch the whole nine minutes! he's worth it. (: by the way guess how old he is. then google him. don't laugh at his name. it's tender huang.

alright i really should be studying for midterms and doing my fieldtrip report and thinking about the english affinity group project. so much to do.

and i can't believe i have to go for yet another follow-up appointment. dr. ho says this virus thing will almost definitely recur and i should just be prepared to keep having to treat it. if i leave it alone like i did this time round it might even result in blindness. apparently it's much much much more serious this time round. there might be permanent scarring on the cornea and all. and he says no more contacts! not that i've been wearing them already. i've been stuck with geeky spectacles for i don't know how many months already. oh well.

alright study.

still

had one of the worst lead-ups to my birthday ever, but one of the nicest birthdays ever too. even though so many people weren't here with me this year but at least i spent it with people who mattered to me.

thanks for everything guys! i'm really happy i got to spend time with you all especially since we don't really get to meet up anymore.

okay i hope my birthday wishes come true. but i'm not telling what they are hehe.

i have this awful headache from drinking white wine with 13% alcohol i think because my sister chilled the wrong one and thinking it was the usual sweet one i gulped down loads of it before the bitterness spread. i am going to lie down for a while.

because i'm happy, i smile, smile.

i feel like i'm standing at the shore and there's a tsunami looming over me!

i cannot believe the amount of assignments we have to do. but it's all okay. at least i'm doing stuff i enjoy.

and please let my cough and sore throat and eye infection (here we go again curse the day i poured hydrogen peroxide in my eye) go away soon! i am in enough trouble struggling to complete everything without all these ailments to make me even more exhausted.

september is a month of birthdays. i foresee a very busy and broke month ahead. but it's all good because they're birthdays of people i really really treasure, even if i don't see some of them so often anymore.

by the way! please help vote for a very deserving girl. vote for f1 sia ming shuan please. it'll only take a second. click click here look i even took the trouble of making it a link for you instead of making you copy and paste it so please do me a favour!

i will leave you all with this hilarious video we watched in english today.

what are you sinking about?

(:

yes i'm in a good mood as you can tell. maybe it's japanese studies tomorrow that makes me happy.
