Phew, what a relief

Hi there!
It was quite tiring today...

Actually I only have one class, Acad Writing.. And that's half the length of the usual class, making me go to school just for 1,5 hours. Haiz, even the journey from my home to school and back is 1,5 hours (sometimes even more). So, yeah~ Wednesday is annoying.

After class, I went to print some readings for the next essay assignment. Before me there was a girl who was taking such a looong time to print. Her ez-link card balance was not enough to do all her printing jobs (which is sooo many). Then after she managed to set her mind which documents needed to be printed it was my turn. I only printed 2 documents 12 pages in total, 48 cents in cost.

Then I waited for her printing to be done. And guess what? I think she took my prints with her. (Yeah, probably she did not keep track how many pages she printed as after the machine finished printing, the stack of papers was like 3 cm thick. I stood dumbstruck, gazing at the printing machine waiting it to print my documents. But of course.. it never did. My 48 cents were gone inside the 3 cm stack of papers.....

Therefore, I need to turn my laptop back on and reprint. Super time consuming, grrrr....

Anyway, I managed to get the printing job done and I depart from school. First, going to concourse to draw some money. At first I feel like eating Koufu but then again I changed my mind to try the new Justacia in Dhoby Ghaut. So I went there and ate and paid. After having dinner I decided to go home from Dhoby Ghaut but before that I planned to top up my ezlink card first. Imagine my horrifying self when I found that my matric card which I put behind the ezlink card, which I carried those two blasted cards everywhere as a long necklace, is gone (FYI, matric card is used to go inside and outside my school, and sometimes enter GSRs - group study rooms. I lost it therefore I cannot enter the school.)

I was in a panic then. I backtraced my route to Justacia where I ate dinner and found nothing, then I walked all the way from Dhoby Ghaut back to school and still found nothing. Then I went to concourse and I still found nothing. And so I reported to the security. The officer asked me to fill in lost item report. But even before I filled the first field, another officer asked my name.... and guess what? They found my matric card. And I have to collect it at SCC in library building.

Thank God. Phew....................

Cockroach

I just saw a phrase in one of my friends' blog here. There is something that caught my eyes immediately: the phrase 'Kecoak yang Ingin Hidup' which literally translates to 'A Cockroach that wants to live'.

Hearing this phrase in my friends' blog brought me back to last Monday. I was in TWC class then. One of my group mates (who coincidentally has three same classes with me) complained to us: "I wish I'm a cockroach". That was the reason why I felt inspired to write this post after reading the phrase I stated earlier (A Cockroach that wants to live).

So.. I have two friends saying a familiar thing about a cockroach life (which now reminds me about A Bug's Life).

Well, I don't really read what my friend said in his blog (too lazy). But my classmate's phrase had been echoing in my head. She said she wished she was a cockroach because of the abominable workload SMU had. (indeed, I now agree with you, C).

Then after she said that my other groupmate asked her: why cockroach? And she said that as a cockroach we don't need to think. We just live.

Sounds like a good life, huh?

But then what's the purpose of living?

No offense to you, C. I know people can be very tired some of the time. But don't be stressed out. Enjoy the life you are living now as a human. Because you can only enjoy when you are human. You cannot feel at all if you are a cockroach. So be grateful with the life you have.

Being busy is one of modern people problems nowadays. We have so many things to catch up and so little time (just like what Prof. Kan said in my first TWC class).

I, too, have time when I wish I can enjoy the easy life. But life is not easy. It rarely is. So.. I guess we need to cope with what we have in our hands and enjoy our time.

Urm.. does this make sense? I'm not really coordinated as I'm quite sleepy now... :P

I think when I get the inspiration from Maihe's blog, I managed to motivate myself by using this post. Thanks, Maihe (though you might not read this)

Expression Number

I just read Zadok's blog today and I got this test (based on name), which he got from J's blog, which I haven't visited for a very long time now. (Sorry J! :P)

Anyway, here's my result...

Your Expression Number is 1

You have the skills to be a top executive or businessperson. But first you must develop your natural capacity to be a good leader. You are truly original - with a creative approach to life and a very sharp mind. You reach for the sky, and you have the potential to reach it. Assertive and straight forward, you have little need for supervision. You are self-confident, self-reliant, and courageous in your convictions. While you sometimes fear loneliness, you prefer to be left alone. A bit self centered, you may be hard to life with at times. You also have a strong dominant streak - which can push others away at times.

What's Your Expression Number?

I think it's quite suitable. I got this number a lot, and I mean A LOT. When I put on my birth date I also usually got this number '1'. (I learned a bit of numerology, haha...)

Seeing the results above often send my thoughts to my dreams. However I still have a lot to do and push myself to my potential limit.

Despite knowing I have such a potential, I cannot really pursue it because mostly I will find myself lazing around. *Sigh* (I don't know how many times I sighed today [yesterday])...

Send me your motivation! That's sooo gladly appreciated :D

Such an Uneventful Day

Hey :)

In this post.. I would like to write about what I did yesterday (Friday).
Well.. I slept at like 4 am and that was when I remembered that I have a library training section on how to conduct proper and useful Google search at 10 am. I hoped that I would be able to wake up and set my alarm at around 8 am. But the effort was meaningless. The moment I woke up and checked my phone it was already 10 something. So definitely late.

I truly hope that it will not be a problem not to attend the session. I hurriedly mailed the library and told that I was not able to make it.

That done, I still had some time until my project meeting for Business Law at two.

Let's just skip this part and proceed to the meeting

Oh ya, I need to tell that from my house to school it will usually take me 40-50 minutes. So I have to leave at around one in order to reach school at two. I arrived on time and the meeting proceed.

Our group meeting today was not too productive. We covered the issue we want to talk about already and we spent like two hours without progress. We finished at four and I grabbed some light refreshment to eat on my way to the MRT station.

I reached home between 5 pm and 6 pm. After that I went online for a while and decided to take a late nap. I slept at around 6.30 and woke up at 9...

I was planning to do some readings for business law but in the end I spent my time reading fanfictions and MSN-ing (haha.. no wonder here...)

I guess that summarizes my boring and uneventful Friday.

*sigh* Such a boring post...

So far...

Anyway, it's quite late to begin a new blog to mark the beginning of my new chapter, which is college life; as my school has been running for four weeks already. (Yeah, we're in week 4!)

So.. Let me tell you about my progress so far...

I am never a studious person. So I'm not too stressed out with the schoolwork right now. Some of my friends are on the edge already. Yep, lessons are stressful, but I'm not really stressed out :D

I'm taking five course units this term: Technology & World Change (TWC), Academic Writing (AW), Introduction to Statistics (Stats), Business Law (BL), and Leadership and Team Building (LTB).

By looking at the subjects I'm taking... You should be able to guess which university I am from (if you are Singaporean). Of course this does not apply to my friends who already know, hahaha!

I quite enjoy the university life, actually. It is not too different from school despite the harder thinking and heavier workload (*sigh..)

So many things have been going in just four weeks. I met a lot of new friends, learned quite a lot of things, too.

Well I think that's all I want to say for now. I might elaborate with more details if I remember something I want to tell :)

I'm off to bed now! Good night :D
