highlight of the week:Germaine passed her driving test!!:)haha think I was luckier this time in that I got a much more lenient tester...he was yawning and burping half the time :P think he could tell he was qt nervous cos he asked me if it was my first time taking the test..oh well, after the whole test, I did feel as if I had performed better this time around compared to my first try..haha I tried driving my dad's MPV yest..(its about the size of a minivan)..wasn't too bad..I'm not too confident about parking without poles though :P

anyway,that was monday...since then,life has quieted down and I've settled back into the monotonous drone of--mugging...what else?sigh..yep final exams are in 3 weeks time..but I don't really feel the urgency of revision yet...think its that heck care attitude in me showing itself again..or maybe it doesn't feel qt like exam period yet cos there's still so much daily work to do!there's still projects to hand in,and tutorials and assignments due...everything's just so...monotonous...

I'm in a lousy mood today...

Just realised how close my final exams are..and I'm in no mood to force myself to mug...I just read debra's blog..her blog always makes me feel closer to God:)She's right.Its a long, uphill climb to the top..and I don't even know what's waiting for me at the top.I just have to trust that whatever is waiting for me up there will be worth the journey there..

Sometimes I don't know why I do the things I do.Its only at the end of the day that I stop and think: Is there a point to all this?

sigh...I don't know what I'm talking about sometimes..give me the strength to finish all this nonsense...

just a quick update on my week...

Its felt like a holiday week so far!haha yep its been pretty fun...mostly cos of my super on and interesting class...

We went rollerblading at east coast park today!I was glad so many pple agreed to go, esp considering it was the middle of the school week and its so far!yep but a considerably large group of pple ended up going...and we had a blast!most of them didn't know how to blade but they were fast learners.. today will definitely give me good memories of times spent with my class in uni..

haaha my elder sister just had a really funky hair job done!She got paid $200 by her hairdresser to exhibit her hair in a fashion show!He would get the chance to do anything to her hair as he desired, but she can dye it back for free if she wants...Her hair's now reddish-blond,with dark brown polka dots!!!yep my mom called her a dalmation...haha she's wondering whether to keep her hair, esp cos polka dots don't exactly fit the profile of a teacher..I honestly think its pretty funky, but I don't think I would keep the style if I were her..haha her hairdresser's trying to start the fad of polka dotted hair..so if you guys see polka dots appearing in hair, remember that it was my sister who was the pioneer trendsetter... :)

ok super tired now...but happy!

ruth:hello!!!haha it feels so nice to see you popping up at my blog and receiving your mails:)continue to keep me updated with your exciting life dear!
cheng: haha hey thanks for all the nice little posts on my blog:)yay see you at the party this sat!hope I don't get lost...
pips:haha yes don't worry I haven't forgotten:)hmm so if its a halloween party I'm supposed to come in costume??erm I just hope I don't get lost on my way...thanks to you and cheng for doing such a great job planning it!see ya!

I am dreading this coming week..
let me try to list out everything i have due...
mon: chem tutorial 4,online physics assignment 5
wed: chem mid sem test which constitutes 40% of my final grade + english project due
thurs: chem prelab due + 7 straight hours of practical!!! :( no lunch again...
fri: geog project due + maths tutorial 7 + physics tutorial 4
its going to be an awful week.

But today was a happy day for me,despite the dreaded week approaching:) I met up with Lionel this morning at church for sunday mass..the songs were extra catchy and he kept me laughing with funny stories from his week..I'm really glad he's managed to find so much happiness in NS..we then headed to Farrer Road market for breakfast, where I watched in amazement as he had a plate of chicken rice AND a plate or char kuay tiao for breakfast.His appetite never ceases to surprise me..where does all that food go???and he actually went home for lunch right after breakfast....

I headed home for lunch with my own family, then had to spend the rest of the day mugging..it wasn't too bad,cos he came over to keep me company while he did his own "NS homework"..yep so basically I'm feeling happy today over simple time doing simple things..happy happy happy..hope I keep this up over the week..

Anyway, thanks for all the words of encouragement people!I think its really most probable that I'll be staying in Singapore..I doubt even utas will accept me now..I had a nice talk with amelia and michelle over lunch on fri..they were telling me how slack they were at NUS medicine!they finish sch at abt 12 everyday and they have time to watch tv,take afternoon naps,do recreational stuff...they actually felt bad cos they didn't feel like they were studying much..its a breeze now compared to sec sch and jc for them..I don't know what to think..somehow it feels kind of weird that they're so relaxed while I'm working harder than I've ever worked in my entire life..and I'm working hard at stuff that I'll probably never need to use ever again after my exams..thats sad...

I also met up with cindy and xinli on thurs..it was so great seeing them again:)haha we were taking a walking tour of all the food places at Jurong Point.They hadn't had the chance to eat any of their favourite foods since they've become prisoners of hall!haha qt funny..anyway,it was so wonderful catching up with them...I felt a lot more like my old self after that day..I realise I've changed a lot since uni started..I don't know how to describe the change exactly.

I've gotta keep thinking positive..God's making me do all this for a reason..I've just got to find out what..

deb & meiling: haha thanks:)I'm happy that I did what I did too...I thank others who gave me the courage to it..namely God,my classmates and friends like you:)
pips: yep everything happens for a reason..thanks:)haha you keep that in mind too.
passerby: erm who's this??
cheng: ok I'll update my link!!
ruth: hey its so great to hear from you!!:)don't worry I'm not upset...just really happy that you're settling in..keep in touch dear!

So many important things happened in the last week..where to start?

Ok, the highlight of last week...I donated blood for the first time last wed!I've always wanted to...but I was too much of a coward to bring myself to do it back at RJ. I HATE needles. I'm also not sure what exactly spurred me on this time. I think it was my classmates. I donated blood with this other girl who was doing it for the first time too..Our classmates were standing next to our chairs, cheering us on:) haha to take my mind of the HUGE needle stuck in my arm, my classmate talked rubbish to me the whole time. I was really grateful to him for that. ( the nurse had a lot of trouble finding my vein at first and she had to slap continuously at my arm to finally locate it. Ouch.) Yep and I felt really good after that. Haha my friend told me that donating blood's healthy. I almost didn't do it though..my male classmate who donated blood before me had to sit there for an HOUR, cos his blood wouldn't flow..he sat there for so long that his blood actually started clotting in the tube!poor guy..

I'm actually surprised myself that I didn't mention what I'm about to say now before the blood donation event. I got rejected by University of Western Australia. Yep. I received the rejection letter last friday, but honestly I haven't been thinking about it too much. Does this mean I'm not too upset over staying in Singapore? Or that I'm trying to make myself believe that I'm not upset by telling myself to think that I'm not upset? I still haven't heard from university of Tasmania. But I guess I'm probably stuck in Singapore..But thats not too bad a thing. Really.

I'm feeling more positive this week...and I'm proud to say that its all because of Lionel. He faces life with such optimism. He's my hero. I've given myself a new aim in life: to face life with the same positive attitude as him:) Look on the bright side everybody!life might be lousy at times, but all its beautiful aspects make up for it.

Jing: hey thanks dear!its nice to know someone understands how I feel:)oh well, guess the decision's already been made for me, maybe that's why I don't feel as confused..
Cheng: ??????
Pips: HEY!!!!haha nice to see you here...thanks for the thoughtful words..but they came just a bit too late, seeing as how I just received the rejection letter..leave more msges here though!so I know you're out there:)yep I do think I need more time to myself..but I don't know how to go about doing that when uni's just so super busy now..thanks a lot anyway:)you take care too:)
