for the first time this year.. i actually took a solid 2 hour afternoon nap. no joke. i woke up with an itchy throat (*maybe cos of the overdose of chilli padi i had for my mee sua lunch) but felt really well rested :D

today was kinda slack. i finally went for a swim after the longest time. and suay suay they were doing not only mosquito fuming stuff, but also cleaning the pool. so there was this constant need to swim under the long tube thing they use to clean the pool. freaking annoying.

surprisingly, there were four girls at the pool! normally i usually see men tannin or smth. but anw, there was this girl who came to swim alone. i found her rather familiar.. but she seemed so cold and dao. zomg. so mayb she's prolly another stranger. wahaha. the other 3 girls were basically bimbos. giggling and not swimming at all. kept eating chips and taking alot of photos in the pool. and the cycle repeats itself.

i just had my dose of himym and 2 and a half men. awesome episodes!!!!! so funny i tell you. i also went back to update myself on the prison break episodes. i regret watching finish the whole season 5 of the office during my exam period (*while i had lunch) heeee! so now i just wait for new episodes to be downloaded... roarrr.

early morning cycling with dad tmr. no worries that i wont get enough sleep ;)

PS: the swine flu is disrupting my plans. :(

ALAMAK. today was suppose to go swimming at 8am. i set alarm nicely at 720am...

only to wake up at 835am. zomg. and when i looked out of the window. omnious skies. why why why :( sighs. but nvm... impromptu corrine will come up with other plans :)

last night was awesooommmmeeeeee. i drove my bro to chong pang camp then met twan there too :) whoohoo. he was wearing this cheesy shorts. ah yar, should have snapped a photo but too busy laughing at it. lol. so we drove down to the nearby tau huay store to get some cold chilly tau huay :)

i kept being haunted by the time i got summoned for parking opposite continuous white line in the resedential area. so i suggested we eat in the car. guard the car from the stupid traffic police. we actually saw a parking ticket issued to a P-plate car which parked opp continuous white line. poor soul. freaking $70 you know. WTF.

anw the night was good :D sat there and talk alot of random stuff. haha! came back and slept about 1130pm. i have no idea why i needed 9 hours of sleep only to wake up at 830am. i am retarded pig thanks.

haha. i'm kinda used to my exam sleep routine. sleep mayb 12 plus and wake up like at 7am. but now body auto-moving back into the slacky mode alr. booohoo. hahaaa

and cher: the highest temp is 34-36 degress celcius i think. but now it seems like its gonna rain but i still feel the high level of humidity and warmth. cant tahan. grrrrrrrrrrrr. i miss your banana cake lots!!!.

and u know what happened? that day i was watching star awards alone. then felicia chin came out with this freaking ugly attire. i was so used to having u by my side watching tv together and throwing random comments here and there, that i actually 'talked to myself' :( i made a "SO UGLY" comment and there was no response. roar. ohwell. its times like these again that i rmbr moments we shared together.

but anw, as i said. its only a matter of time. dont stress up too much.. just try ur best and know that u've given all you've got :D keep the motivation up :) and try to relax sometimes too please. haha.

ok so back to my life.... i'm now back to dont know what to do mode. oh yar. i just rmbr i have to upload all the pics from the camera so that i can bring it to canada :) read in the papers that there's some pig flu going on. i hope it wont affect my holiday trip. :/ *prays hard.

cheers,
corrine

im officially developing weird sleeping patterns. slept at like 11pm and woke up at 2am. now its 5.30am and cant sleep. breakfast in 1.5hrs time and lectures in 3hrs time. ok that sounds like 1.5hrs of breakfast...!!! hahah (i need time to walk to lecture theatres ok!).

i think im just stressed out. like seriously i have not been so stressed out before (mayb have been too relaxed during my gap year)...then now its like learning whole new stuff. oh wells...i really want to process all the new information well so that i can understand stuff and not blank out too much.

now thats its after the 1 week break...also feeling a weee bit lazy to study. zzz. its like my neighbour keeps sleeping all the time. its INSANE! gosh. and at this moment i hear some tv show noise coming from a room. this is insane! urgh. then comes to panic mode when i realise that there's a lot of new stuff to study but its so hard for me to get my ass down to pack those stuff into my puny brain. urgh

oh wells!!!! for the good stuff:

i managed to bake banana cake!!!!! was toggled between 3 flats to get stuff. my friend dumped me to his neighbour's hse to bake because he wanted to sleep and left all the req ingre there for me which was nice. but then his neighbour's hse's kitchen was occupied by another flat mate and his gf. so i had to go back to my friend's place to bake. there was no weighing scale so i had to go back to his friend's flat to get it. (there was smth seriously wrong with the weighing scale). back at his flat, i wanted to start alr. but realise no tin and electric mixer. so had to scale mountains in the cold to go to another friend's flat to borrow them. finally managed to bake! too much banana. entire knife was still wet after 45 min. top alr burnt. panic. and i burn myself a little bit too and had a major hot facial spa. sheesh....turned out not too bad accrd to pple.

makes me miss baking at home even more. so convenient. all my tools ready to go! now i have remaining 1.3kg self raising flour in my room and i dont know what to do with it. just chuck it there for the time being i guess

oh ya today was like the HOTTEST day ever too. 22 degrees c. its like hotttttt.... dont like it. i cud actually wear short sleeve for once. and at night.... its like hot and i dont have short sleeve pjs. all long sleeve. kill me. oh wells. corrine: what is temp in singapore like? oh ya i also realise i haven perspired for the longest time except when im gymming. almost gonna forget how it feels like alr. hahah

ok gonna sleep for a while before breakfast. im hungry like right now and wanna eat peanut butter with honey with bread. ah!

bye!

today didnt went as planned :( howeverrr i got many things accomplished. cos i made myself useful! :D

drove my mom to ntuc for grocery shopping.
lunch at crystal jade (*PS: the egg white+crab meat fried rice that my mom ordered for us was v v v v v good. ) we also ordered some dim sum which satisfied my dimsum craving. then we went for grocery shopping again. and when i saw the prima taste mee siam thingy...

NEW CRAVING: mee siam.

omg. no pple, i'm not pregnant. haha. even if i am, i think cher is more 'pregnant-ny' than me. cos she has so many wierd cravings flying here and there. then come and influence me also. haha. miss those days, we go food-hunting and just immerse in the world of food cravings. haha!

yupp, so i kinda trained my arm muscles alot today cos there was like rice sacks and so many other barang barang. put my strength to good use i must say ;) whoo.

came home dead tired and slam onto computer and started playing sweet dreams -.- haha. i know this is really like no link but i just did it. haha! the weather is killin me. my room is like an oven now.

but after watching this show on oprah about conserving energy, i told myself to make some effort trying to save energy (*trying v hard to bring out the environmentally-friendly side of me.. so pls give me some face here and not BOOO me ;) ) haha. yea. so the point is that i resisted myself to on the aircon.

v big deal over here cos the weather is like zomg. really. the worst ever of my 20yrs existence as a human. fan is directly blowin at me now. level 2. but my hand feels sticky all over. dont imagine this scenario. the stickiness i mean, really gross. hohoho.

its this kinda weather that i feel like jumpin into the pool but but... the thought of getting my skin exposed to the intense UV rays is kinda scary. i still prefer like mid-mornin sun. safer. haha!

ok i dont know what to do after this alr. its only the third day of holidays and i'm using THAT phrase again (*reminder: 'dont know what to do' ) haha. thats just me i guess.

i shall go find something to do. read a book as a last resort ;)

<3
corrine!

whooooo exams are out. i'm breathing the nice fresh air of freedom now.

been ages since i updated a post man. gosh. life's been basically studying and more studying for the past few weeks but now that everything is slowly changing to the holiday mood, i'm starting to get myself reorganized in many ways ;)

ok i actually packed my files.. table.. etc. in preparation for the start of school. (*i know alot of eye-ball rolling will take place here) haha. but u know what, i rmbr that my 3 months holiday last semester actually flew by so fast, i dont even rmbr what i did. and when BOOM.. school starts.. it was kinda like nua... huh mode. lol. yea. so better get everythin in order so dont have to last minute sian.

and next, i started to think through how i could improve for yet another semester as a student. sorry for the gross reflective mode side of me. but not that i'm muggerish but reflecting on what i've done right and wrong for the past semesters can hopefully make me a better student.
not only for the studying methods part, but also how much i'm starting to appreciate the friends around me.

as the semesters go by, i get to know individuals at a deeper level. i share my problems with them. something i dont usually do cos i keep them inside me most of the time. but i guess friendships are really quite impt. it feels good to have pple who dont need to rah here rah there but u know that they've got ur back whenever u need them. and more importantly u are willing to be there for them.

oh well. enough about my reflections. haha. just finished 3h of tuition. my voice is feeling a little wierd alr. roar!

for now, i shall relish the holiday as much as i can before yet another harder semester comes in year 2! i have a plan to go for exchange programme in year 2 sem 2. really hope i can make it (as in my GPA) and go to new zealand :) it'll be v awesome. but as my sister advised me.... go with outgoing pple, not those passive kind.. how to communicate u tell me? haha!

yupp. one week from now i'll be flying off to canada!!! whoohoo. crazy excited. 3rd-15th may. a well-deserved break.

cheers!
corrine.

guess what i am doing right now? besides blogging? trying to understand how the sodium potassium pump works and smth about the membrane potential. kinda have a throbbing headache. grrr... oh wells

its about time i blog right? since the holidays are here.

hmm... i have handed in my application for a part time job in new world, which is somethin like fairprice or cold storage back in singapore. hopefully all goes well and i will receive the CALL! or email..whatever it is.

basically the holidays are boring. makes me homesick. makes me think about my study free days in singapore and how i can wake up to a day where i can just do anything i want rather than to coop up in the room...studying. no offense to pple who are currently studying for their exams and hav no choice but to do that. for me...its like no exams now...but after holidays will be like busy and thus i have to do catch up work. oh wells.

at least i managed to do some cooking the other day at my friend's flat. turned out not as expected because my other friend only had dark sweet sauce when i needed dark sauce. my mum sent me more recipes but im thinking of doing some baking with absolutely no ingredients at all. haih. i miss my baking equipment so much man.

now that the holidays are like so boring. im contemplating on whether i shud go back during the 3 weeks june holidays. but then again...i rather work now...earn some money and do a bit of travelling. might as well right? since im alr here.

oh ya. I MISS CORRINE HO. i swear i cannot find another running/exercising pal like her. sucks. everyone says they so wanna gym so wanna gym. but next day they just dont feel like going or have some random ache or some shit. i think im better off by myself when it comes to gymming. and i hate to wait for pple anw. i like it quick fast and effective when it comes to exercise. oh wells... talking about that. i haven gymmed today and most prob going in the evening. it gets dark at 6pm and its pretty scary but still fine with it. oh wells.... bottom line. i cannot find another pal like corrine. period.

ok...im going off now.

bye!
