its 2.09 a.m. I think its time i sat down and updated. ok ok ok.. will do..

hmm. where shall we start?

it seems i left off from the jbp submission, so lets just start there la huh.

ok. so the submission sucked coz i forgot to put in my reference page!!! and lagi worse, i did make a lot of references. but then again serve me right la coz i PROCRASTINATED and PROCRASTINATED like crazy. the result? a poor quality report on my part, and no cash prize for me. kwa3. kla. no surprises there.

on to other important things in my life.

work. work thus far has been quite fun. im beginning to settle into the role as an educator. last year i was still caught up with the idea of being a teacher and i played tt role once i step into the tuition class. but then i realised that i was unneccessarily stressing myself out. if my boss needed a teacher, she would have hired some moe trained ppl.. but obviously she's more interested in personality and hiring ppl tt are just like her - ppl who can get along well with kids. of course there is a bad side to this.. discipline at the centre pretty much sucks. aahaha. especiali my classes la. damn noisy. but at the end of the day, we have fun and we all learn something new.

family. the peeps are doing great. so are the felines. jus two glaring issues:

1) i tink my bro is gonna get married next June which is 3 months earlier than wat was initially planned.
2) i tink my parents kinda are in denial tt im turning 21 and starting work next year. its kinda obvious bcoz they still expect me to tag along when they want to go out. and sometimes i reali dun wanna go out with them bcoz they're the type who go to one place, buy one thing then come back. like.. so.. waste my time ah.

school. this sem is quite terok la. projects projects and more projects. and lotsa projects mean lots of presentations.. u would think that the special proj course tight deadlines would have gotten me used to presentations and it wud be like ba.. easy..

think again.

the standards keep getting raised. somehow there's always one group in your class which has upped the standards. which sucks coz once they raised the bar u have to live up to the standards to try to even get a B. wat more an A. but haiz. wat to do. such is life.

Brody. We're doing good. he's stepped up his focus this sem. trying to score straight As which i tink is possible for him. I mean.. its onli fair.. he's so hardworking la. like.. scary hard working. we have resorted to a more or less "routine" work week so that we dont see each other too little.
On mondays and wednesdays he would normally see me off for tuition. then we go out on saturdays.. movie/scrabble/fringe performances or dinner. since we are both struggling to put ourselves thru sch, i suggested that we limit our total spendings on outings to about 30 bucks. i mean, if we go for a movie, its already like 18-19 bucks. which leaves us about 11-12 bucks for dinner. so usuali we will eat sme cheap2 alacarte or fastfood meal.[some ppl like real onli dun wan to eat macdonald's after waching super size me. hahahha. i knew it. ur will failed u.] if we eat a more expensive dinner, eg Swensens or Breeks, we dun go for movies. Instead, we just sit down somewhere to play Scrabble, or take photo, or watch free concerts or just sit and talk lor.
we're supposed to study together on sundays. he's more disciplined than me. sometimes i skip coz i oversleep =]

other developments.

jus got a new laptop courtesy of HP/Compaq and Starhub. not bad la. a bit slow. coz there's very little ROM and RAM. so.. tink shud upgrade.. but i got no money. so tt can wait.
confirmed FYP group with minah and zhen. woots.

bought 2 peeptoe pumps for going out and one slipper for school from fond hugs.
oh ya. Brody lost his camera. n i was with him at tt time. ahhahaha. fainted la.

Any Other Business?

1) i tink i have some sort of irritable bowel syndrome. excessive flatulence la. IOW, fart n burp too much. i dont reali wanna go to a western doctor coz i reckon they'll just attribute it to poor diet and all. which i dun tink in my case applies la coz i eat veg and fibre and i even take vitamin supplements.. hmm. anyone know of any alternative treatments? TCM? Ayurveda?

2) i feel like cutting my hair short2 ah. after exams ah. short as in.. just below ears that type. i wan a professional but easy to maintain look for attachment. but im scared!! coz i tink its so easy to go wrong with a short hair cut. plus, i think it will emphasise my round-ish face. how? suggestions? objections?

Should i or shouldn i? help me make a decision, ppl.
