Stats quiz is finally over! Now I really can't wait for thurs to be overrrr. And I'll wave goodbye to 10% of marketing!:D No more presentations, for the semester, at least! HA! And there's still a 20page long report due next week. Why are the group As always so much busier compared to the Bees. Sigh!
Alright, I just bejeweled for 40minutes. So amazing how each game only last 1 min yet I can squander 40minutes on it. Imagine the number of games that I've played. Argh. An addiction I cant kick, just like caffeine. Speaking of that, another cup of coffee is on my table again! Time to research on Nike! Inspiration, please fall upon me. I need them, seriously!
Had dinner with jan, amer and camy just now! Whoa, havent caught up with them for quite a few months! Well, hope I'll be able to go for the next class outing or something haha. And I still cant believe I'm going to bkk again.
Alright, time to leave. Bye!
Rumble rumble. (Monday, March 30, 2009 / 5:13 pm)
The thunder has been rumbling since 3pm i think. And it hasn't rained!
I hope it doesn't rain when I'm leaving for the foc meeting later, otherwise there's a huge inertia to actually step out of my room.
And studying for stats quiz sucks. On one hand, it cant be that complicated since it's only half an hour long and some people are not equipped with a marvellous invention called the graphic calculator. On the other, I cant help myself but to continuously read through the same stuff over and over again with a exponentially decreasing retention rate. Sigh.
What pushes you. ( / 2:10 pm)
Doesn't matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.

Long overdue events (Sunday, March 29, 2009 / 11:49 pm)
First and foremost, let's start off with the random camwhoring session during OB break last Friday. Had no idea why jam was inspired to camwhore despite the lethargy present in everyone during the break. Then, lyn the maternal cottonon dress woman got excited too and we started snapping away continuously. Hahaha, that was fun seriously.
And, next up we have the design-your-own-cake + cherkun's birthday celebration! Well, it was a great time catching up with those group Bees at JP! And amidst decorating the cake, this passerby told sann that I had a flair for decorating cakes when she saw me doing so. I'm flattered!:D HAHA.
Had our usual crystal jade dinner again + the jidechi dessert. Some things never change.
Evidence to show the great artist in the making. Then again, kudos to Sann for she was the one who turned the eyeball that Lyn created into cherkun's nipple. LOL.
And, there was cai's birthday as well! This time it was easier. Didnt have to decorate the cake but nevertheless, I hoped she enjoyed the surprise as well as the horrible most out of tune birthday song ever sang by the infamous singer in 6shots.
Wow. This was really long ago, I was still pondering if I did actually upload these photos. Hahaha. Anyway, those were the fun days when we were preparing for our marketing presentation. It was a success:D
Part of my accounting group:D I hope we did a good job for our aa102 report too!
And I'm damn proud of this picture for no reason. I feel honoured to be in it:D
This entry is dedicated to the secret follower whom I've been talking to for the past 30minutes. Haha, continue blogging and post more photos. I'll catch up soon with you:D

save me from myself (Saturday, March 28, 2009 / 2:27 am)
It's not so easy loving me It gets so complicated All the things you gotta be Everything's changing But you're the truth I'm amazed by all your patience Everything I put you through
when I'm about to fall Somehow you're always waiting with Your open arms to catch me You're gonna save me from myself From myself, yes You're gonna save me from myself
My love is tainted by your touch Well some guys have shown me aces But you've got that royal flush I know it's crazy everyday Well tomorrow may be shaky But you never turn away
Don't ask me why I'm crying 'Cause when I start to crumble You know how to keep me smiling You always save me from myself From myself, myself You're gonna save me from myself
I know it's hard, it's hard But you've broken all my walls You've been my strength, so strong And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness Is what I need to make me A better woman to myself To myself, myself You're gonna save me from myself
why didn't she save herself.

Whoa, what a touching commercial advertisement! Nice recommendation!:D

Anyway, I decided to head home early today right after OB. Seems like the decision was a good one!:D Havent been home so early on Fridays for the last couple of weeks, and when I got home today, the sky was so blueeee. And I decided to swim another 20laps before starting my weekly tv routine. Did my laundry, watched the Amazing Race and Life and I cooked lunch too!
And, I hope I'd be able to concentrate on hypothesis testing for the next few hours. Ahhh. Good luck, off I go!

Sagittarius: The Archer ( / 12:32 am)
Sagittarius Personality: November 22 - December 21
Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the astrological year and is known by its astrological symbol, the Archer. Sagittarian individuals are jovial, intelligent, and freedom-loving. With Jupiter as the ruling planet, people born under this sign are considered to be understanding and principled. They have an appetite for learning and travel.
Key characteristic: Leadership
Strengths: Intelligent, assertive, adventurous
Challenges: Trouble with sharing, too much ego, vindictive
The Sagittarian Woman
Sagittarian women are friendly, sociable, and outgoing. They have a reputation for being blunt speakers who don't worry how their opinions will be received. Like their male counterparts, Sagittarian women love to travel and are curious about other cultures. Like other fire-sign females, they are not afraid to take risks. Sagittarian women are often tall and svelte, though they have a tendency to put on weight in middle age. They have a fashion style all their own.
The Sagittarian Child
Sagittarian children are adventurous from birth. From an early age they appreciate the value of things and the satisfaction they can bring. Sagittarian youngsters usually love school. They participate in sports and are big on school spirit. Sagittarian teens need plenty of freedom, but they are likely to use it wisely.
The Sagittarian Lover
As soon as they fall in love, the typical Sagittarian begins to worry about what he or she is going to have to give up. So they may put off making a commitment as long as possible. When they do settle down, they adjust well. They refuse to let the relationship get stale and always look for ways to bring excitement to the union.
The Sagittarian Friend
Sagittarians make excellent friends. Though they have many intellectual pursuits, the Sagittarian isn't a meet-for-coffee friend. They are doers. They make the best travel companions. They are informed about their destinations but also know side trips and facts that make the journey enjoyable.
Any Sagittarians out there? Hahaha.

1st December!
A Sagittarius born on December 1 is theatrical and flamboyant, with all-too-human flaws. They use their sense of humor to showcase their bubbly personality. They are impulsive, sometimes to their detriment. Despite warnings from loved ones, these feisty people are determined to live life on their terms. That generally means plenty of laughs and few rules.
Sagittarius Information for December 1
You should embrace:
Free will, credibility, self-control
You should avoid:
Self-promotion, the dark side, controlling others
Friends and Lovers
December 1 individuals have a wide variety of friends, and they often collect friends from various walks of life. They have exciting love lives. They see themselves as glamorous and may favor a somewhat superficial approach to love. It takes someone special to get these people to settle down permanently.
Children and Family
An unconventional note often characterizes the upbringing of December 1 natives. Either the family was constantly on the move or the parents separated when the children were very young. They probably learned self-sufficiency early. Although parenthood may not be something they aspire to, they have a talent for the job.
Health
December 1 individuals are always conscious of making a good appearance. They work hard to look fabulous but eventually learn that good health is more important. Holistic and herbal medicine is the route they usually choose once they decide to get healthy.
Career and Finances
People born on this date are fun-lovers who enjoy being in the public eye. They enjoy professions that make use of their sparkling personality. All Sagittarians have an open-handed policy about money, and December 1 natives are no exception. Money comes and goes in their lives, but it has little bearing on their happiness.
Dreams and Goals
People born on this date want to shine. Many have theatrical aspirations, either professionally or as an enjoyable hobby. Although these folks prefer spontaneity to goal-making, they do have a strong will and can achieve amazing things when they put their mind to it.

Alright, it's been quite a slack week so far. Well, at least OB's done and I ran and swam this week. Okay, 2 more weeks of school. Chubbo gogogo!

Staring at the sun (Monday, March 23, 2009 / 1:15 am)
At times like this, I feel at peace with the world.
---
Daylight on my shoulder
Makes me feel alive
You kept me standing in your shadow
And it’s a cold cold place to hide
I’m running away from this messed up place
I’m breaking free, yeah yeah
I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of high coz now I’m done
You took everything while I was staring at the sun
---
Went for a jog alone just now. And I realised that was the first time I was jogging alone at night. Pretty scary, but comforting I guess. Sorry to those friends whom I've been ignoring. I must admit I'm really not a good friend at times.
I'm just a hermit.
Aurora Borealis (Tuesday, March 17, 2009 / 9:33 am)
"With infinite wilderness overhead, a traveler's tent lit from within turns into a starship navigating the northern lights. Contrary to widely held belief, the aurora borealis is not strictly a phenomenon of winter lights in the Arctic. It paints summer skies as well, and can occur as far south as Yellowstone."
—From the National Geographic book Yellowstone to Yukon, 2000

Hahaha I think that when kasster sees this and he realises that this picture is actually taken in Canada, where you can spot the northern lights too... The next choice for our instep application would be to victoria or queens. Haha. But damn, this is sooo pretty! I want to see the aurora borealis. So, so, so magnificent. I think I'd be speechless when I actually see it one day. Awesome. I woke up early today to google about photos instead of doing stats.
(Monday, March 16, 2009 / 10:13 pm)
Finally, a semi break at the moment if I ignore the stats case study presentation tmr, which I've absolutely no idea what the whole question is about since I havent exactly been catching up with stats. Nevertheless, still gotta present the question tomorrow. I'm good at creating miracles recently. Say for example, one week ago, I've had no idea how to actually write statements of equity, comprehensive income, balance sheets and the notes to the accounts. And today, I actually completed the paper within a 100minutes. Well, that's how cool NTU forces you to be. Oh and credit goes to TT!:D
Anyway, I hope that it doesn't rain on wednesday and thursday! I'm finally going to swim, in like a gazillion years, or more specifically, about a month or so since I last swam with the mates. Cool, finally!! Exercise time! Supposed to run with the mugow later but I've minimal energy left within me. I was exhausted after I got back hall, because we went straight to Spring to conduct the interview right after accounting, and after the interview was the stats meeting. Ookay, maybe I will feel more energized after the shower! Stats tutorial hopefully!:D
Goodbye, goodnight.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Sunday, March 15, 2009 / 4:02 pm)
I want to read the boy in the striped pyjamas.
The movie was really good. Impactful, at least. Makes me feel like reading about the Holocaust once term break begins.
That being said, I havent been studying hard for accounting. Ugh.

Dang. I just found this breathtaking photo on National Geographic. I wish I could do this all day long, instead of the futile attempts to study for accounting and trying to psych myself to do so.
My sleep hours (Saturday, March 14, 2009 / 1:18 am)
Tuesday 2:30a.m. 8:30a.m.
Wednesday 4:45a.m. 9:00a.m.
Thursday 4:35a.m. 7:20a.m.
Friday 3:15a.m. 7:50a.m.
Saturday 1:20a.m. ???
I'm going to attempt to sleep for at least 6 hours this time round.
Say no to pimpims that my surface on my face due to the severe lack of sleep.
I feel so confused.
It must be the schoolwork that's draining me out, killing me softly.
I caught the flu bug. (Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / 11:57 am)
I never knew there was so much mucus stored up in a person until I started sneezing non stop like a mad cow this morning and I discovered that I could form a mini pyramid with the tissues on the table.

After months of lazing and procrastinating, I decided that.. it's finally time to start mugging. 1 more month to exams. I'm petrified actually.
Cry (Sunday, March 08, 2009 / 9:48 pm)
I'm not the type to get my heart broken I'm not the type to get upset and cry 'cause I never leave my heart open Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me Never got the whole in love thing And someone can say they love me truly But at the time it didn't mean a thing
My mind is gone, I'm spinning round And deep inside, my tears I'll drown I'm losing grip, what's happening I stray from love, this is how I feel
This time was different Felt like, I was just a victim And it cut me like a knife When you walked out of my life
Now I'm, in this condition And I've, got all the symptoms Of a girl with a broken heart But no matter what you'll never see me cry
Did it happen when we first kissed? 'cause it's hurting me to let it go Maybe 'cause we spent so much time And I know that it's no more
I should've never let you hold me baby Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart I didn't give it to you on purpose Can't figure out how you stole my heart
How did I get here with you, I'll never know? I never meant to let it get so, personal After all I tried to do, stay away from loving you I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know And I won't let it show You won't see me cry
This time was different Felt like, I was just a victim And it cut me like a knife When you walked out of my life
Now I'm, in this condition And I've, got all the symptoms Of a girl with a broken heart But no matter what you'll never see me cry
All my life...
Photos photos photos - all in a week! ( / 12:03 am)
This might sound contradictory but last week, or rather this week (since it's still a sunday), was the BUSIEST and most DRAINING week since the semester started yet I still managed to take a million photos during the week.
4 hours of sleep; returning hall in the wee hours like 4am because we were rushing through our OB preparation at the quad; having to handle stats quiz, accounting written report, OB presentation; having to meet Mr Botak Jones even after submitting accounting report on Friday!
Busy, yet fulfilling. Nevertheless, I wouldnt want to go through such a cycle again.
That being said, I gotta start preparing for marketing presentation soon instead of allowing history to repeat itself again!
-----------
So, let's go in chronological order.
On saturday, we went to Desmond's Hall 5 Musical - Staged!
The singers were all quite talented and it reminded me of the ultra busy J1 days when we were preparing Les Miserables. Haha, those daily practices, leaving us no time for any other form of entertainment during the hols, and h
aving to see the usual people everyday! Sigh, I miss those days actually. Havent had the time to meet them up in a long while...):
Next up, on Sunday, we went to Hall 6 Cult Night to support Miao and to my surprise, Kristian was performing there too! Haha, he improved a lot since those JC days! Totally captivated the audience with his raspy voice!! Went for supper at the curry place thereafter! Shiok!:D
Then, on Monday night, we went to celebrate Zhao and Joce's bday. Haha, it was rather creative to meet them at the bus stop and surprise them with a cake by alighting from the bus!
The very nicely decorated cake by Miao and Sann! Seems like those 2 are pretty artistic dont you think so! They started designing the cake from SCRATCH. By scratch, i mean they started off with a plain white cake as you can see from the photos below! Amazing! I wouldnt have the patience to design a cake like that.
The turnout was pretty good! Haha and we had fun as usual. I love the following photo when Sann dumped the cake on Joce and she wanted to take a photo, showing how impressed she was with herself! And then, just at the moment when Miao was about to press the shutter, GAN ZHA ZHA just smacked the banana skin on her head, leaving her looking like an idiot! HAHAHA. Then again, since when did gandick became so tall. I'm quite amazed. Hahaha.
Also, look at the photo on the top right hand corner! Hahahaha, bestie z and my plan to throw jia into the dustbin was finally realized! A super huge birthday present for that bday boy! Lol. There's even a video of us throwing her into the dustbin and Zhao's attempts to use the dustbin cover to put on Jia on facebook!
After the fun ended, it was time for stats quiz! And following the end of Stats was the start of the photoshoot! Hahaha my favourite part of the entry:D
The photos look quite artistic right! I thought of this shot myself!
And kudos to the YBHM that accompanied me during the shot who was incidentally the creative director and make up artiste during the shoot.
And my jumping spree commenced! As easy as it looks, it's quite tiring actually.
And millions of attempts to jump as high as possible,
keeping my airtime lengthened so as to capture a good shot.
Finally, some nice photos after jumping for a long time!
Haha one of those emo shots but this was a candid one!
And the following shots are pretty amazing! It makes NTU looks enticing right. Us sitting in the meadow and we look carefree and worry-free, which is actually the exact opposite of our current lives. Then again, as I was mentioning the other day.. Since our lives are so pathetic already, why not make the best out of the whole deep shit we are in?
And that spelled the end of the shoot. Next up, it was 2 super hectic days of finishing accounting and OB (recalls 15 straight hours of staying in the meeting room at the Quad). I personally feel that a miracle occurred. Because on Tuesday, accounting was actually 30% done? And OB was like.. 30% done too. But by friday, everything was completed and we actually scored pretty well for our presentation, unfortunately it's only 10%. Haha but let's not be greedy. We'll do well for written report I hope, since I already kinda screwed up my individual case critique.
After the draining Friday with only 4 hours of sleep, we went to queensway to interview Mr Botak Jones!!!:D The cajun chicken was orgasmic hahaha. And it was THICK, probably around half the length of your index finger. After Botak Jones, we went to the queensway food centre to eat stingray, satay and kang kong!!! Haha going around with the two gluttons - kass and lyn, is a good thing. You know where the good food are:D
Haha Lyn's PIMPIM a.k.a PROF - pacific ring of fire on her face! Hilarious!
Finally, to end of this entry. Here's an introduction of the characters in our OB video.
The schizophrenic Kasster who acted as Liesel, Irene and Robert - who all belong to the same family; daughter, mother and father respectively. LOL. (lyn's creative idea, taken from the Noose).
Followed by the Autistic hiphopper - Lyn, who's also the creative director and scriptwriter of the video.
Directors: Lyn, Kass
Presenters: Jia, Des
Video editor: Myself
Scriptwriter: Lyn
OB WOOSH:D
Presenting our oscar winning OB VIDEO!:D
Here we go, one more time. (Monday, March 02, 2009 / 1:55 am)
Recess week is over in the blink of an eye. I should be feeling sad that it's over.. but somehow, it doesnt feel like recess week at all, except for the bkk part. I'm stressing myself unnecessarily again I think. But with all the deadlines in the weeks to come, I'm terribly afraid..
Sigh.
At the same time, I'm looking for something adventurous. No idea what the future brings.
blah blah blah (Sunday, March 01, 2009 / 4:11 pm)
I'm experiencing a love/hate relationship with stats.
5:54 A.M. ( / 5:53 am)
I'm still awake.
Not doing work, but reminiscing those happy times in bangkok and australia while scanning through those pretty, pretty photos in my laptop.
I'm a sucker for pretty, pretty photos!
Why can't I be a sucker for linear programming and stats? Damn.
