argh... its tough to plan timetable...

It is subject registration tomorrow. Do not ask me why so early when exam results are not even out. My batch got to be guinea pigs for the school AGAIN. How nice… I really think my school sucks. The school management has no brains at all. Ever since corporatisation, everything has changed. School fees increased. Exam timetable changed to N*S system. So now I have evening papers and a lot of back to back papers. I do not understand why they have to change to be like them? To attract students? I think this will push students to them since we are entirely like another them except that we not have the fame associated with them. If I was a student, I will probably choose them. I kind of regret coming to this place. So irritating….

AND…. BS is jus as bad. They changed my ENTIRE year 4 curriculum. They removed TCM totally and move drug and discovery to sem 2 of year 4. Coz this module was offered to the year 3 students in sem 2 as part of their prescribed. And we only have SEVEN modules, from which we have to choose 5. Unless we want to take drug next year together with the year 3 students. Not much of a choice right? And after much considerations and thinking… this is going to be my final exam timetable...

BS404 16-NOV-06 1700 1930 biochem
MB246 22-NOV-06 1300 1530 Management of IP and Innovation
CV4202 23-NOV-06 1700 1930 human resource
BS406 24-NOV-06 0900 1130 cell bio
BS407 28-NOV-06 0900 1130 genetics
BS408 29-NOV-06 0900 1130 immuno
BS411 01-DEC-06 0900 1130 viro

Note the number of back to back papers. I have never had any back to back papers before!! And now I have 2 blocks! One block with 3 papers in a row, in which one paper is in the evening and the next paper is early morning, and another block with 2 papers in a row. I chose to drop structural because the timetable clash with my biz module and the exam is on 30th Nov. Meaning that if I take structural, I have 4 papers in a row!!! Wow!!!!

Sigh…Please wish me good luck. I have a very bad feeling about the semester... my only consolation is that I am leaving the school soon. Really growing to hate the place.

Traumatized

*another backdated post*

About three weeks ago, I met this financial advisor to do a financial analysis. Normally I would have rejected such things but I was referred to him by another friend, plus they are personal friends so I thought it does not hurt much to jus meet up with that person. I do not think I will employ his services anyway. Since I do not want to meet him alone, I brought 2 friends along with me.

We were supposed to fill in a questionnaire and at first I thought it would be a fast one. I did not expect it to be so long. It dragged over 2 lunch sessions and 1 very long session. Yesterday was the last session with him and I was truly traumatized over my financial status after the session. We were supposed to write down our income per month and list down all our expenses for the entire month. This includes birthday presents and everything den divide by the number of months to get an average per month.

OMG… I was really really shocked at my expenses. My goodness.. I din realized that I was such a high maintenance woman and I spent so much money on rubbish things. I went home and did a detailed calculation and I had a shock of my life!! My stable source of income is only $388 per month and I have already spent $500 a month, not including shopping expenses. My god… I am living in deficit…

Sigh... I think I have to start saving money liao... Try and cut down on some things. I am still thinking of which section I can cut down on. Maybe entertainment and birthday presents bah. My facials and products cannot cut even though they are the largest portion of my expenses. Sian.. I need more money.. money money.. where fore art thou money??

bored...

Currently sit in my office. Bored like siao.. nothing to do and still have to act like I am very busy… sian… the only good thing is that I get paid for doing nothing.. but I dun like lah… cannot even do ur own things… surf net oso surf until very scared coz I am sitting right outside the pantry with the AD sitting very near to me. Talking abt the AD, he is the most 小心眼 man I have ever met so far. Every little thing oso must hiam. I heard that many temp were chased away because of him. He got no brains ah? If the survey cannot finish, he will probably just blame it on the staff and he will get away scot free. But as if he will discover if anything is wrong coz the staff will handle everything for him. Bird-brain guy.

Anyway, I haven been updating my blog recently. I oso dunno what have I been busy with…

Last week was a lot of tuitions. On 15th I had my normal tuition with my centre and after that I rushed for an extra with my private student till 10pm. On 16th I helped ailing to relief her class. But before that, I went to Queensway in the afternoon to buy my shoe bag and a sports top. Den I went to RV for a CPR class. And I blur blur thought that I was late for class so in the end I took a cab to the centre and wasted money when I am already so super broke. 17th was tuition again but since I started work, I had to postpone tuition and I stayed till pretty late coz I stayed back to do work. 18th I went for aerobics class. Really have to start going for more classes.. I am getting fat!! And 19th I went for pilates class before meeting biyun n chris for shopping. I din buy anything coz I was damn tired and broke but biyun n chris went home with a number of 战利品. 20th was tuition again. One was at yishun and another at woodlands.

21st was another teaching day but this time I went to teach CPR and got pay one wor. Den after that I met hz for dinner. It was together with a group of ppl lah but I dun mind..

This whole week is busy week again… Mon n tues was tuition again. Huimin came down to meet my for lunch on Tuesday and I brought her to eat the Ipoh Crayfish hor fun at hong lim food centre. I tell you hor.. the hor fun is damn nice!! Its only $4 and u get an entire crayfish. I never liked to eat hor fun but this changed my view. Yesterday was hz’s birthday and we went to watch da vinci code. Many ppl say the show not nice but hor.. since I never read the book before, I thought the show was quite nice. Jus dun like the gruesome things.. but I like the puzzles.

Sian…. I realized that I am very eng during working hours but after work I am very busy. Today still meeting a fren to discuss something and tmr I am going to Chomp Chomp to eat dinner. So happy!! I realized that I haven been posting photos. Simply coz I haven been taking any.. I will try to take more and post some to liven up this place.. and I have to try and change my blogskin..

Going back to acting busy….

Bra Shoppe

*warning* this is an advertorial.

i haven been able to update as much as i want.. i have so much to write but i always forget abt them when i get in front of the computer. Anyway, this post is something that i have been wanting to do. I was doing retail therapy in the middle of the exams and you know what i bought? hehe.. i bought bras... hehe.. and i spent a whooping $280 on beautiful lingerie. My friends said i was mad but they are really beautiful and it makes me happy. hohoho...

I got them from this store call Bra Shoppe. Check out their online store here. I got to know them last year from cleo or something. They have really pretty lingerie. A bit on the high side BUT they also have cheap ones and ALL of them are VERY NICE! They have a booth at Paragon Metro and a really really pretty office at IMM where you can make an appointment for private viewing . The decor and everything are very pretty and even the fitting room is superb. Check out the photos below.

And Carol (the boss) is very friendly and helpful. I finally know how to wear a bra properly. hoho.... Carol even said that if we have a group of 5 or more ppl who wants to view the bras, she can provide snacks and drinks for free so we can jus have a gathering there. And if we do not want to go down to IMM, we can arrange for a private viewing at someone's house. They will bring all the bras down for you. But i still think its nice to go down to their IMM store and the price is slightly cheaper too. It is a really nice place to shop for bras. Anyone wants to go n see? Guys can consider them as a present for their gfs. Girls can buy for themselves or for their bfs' benefits. Heheh...

Anyway, recently they had this promotion at buy 2 sets for $150 (original at 168 for 1 set) with free delivery somemore (they have promotions occasionally and for mothers' day, they have a mother's day special. Check out their website). There were only 20 sets for sales so i hurry up went online to look and picked those i want. When Carol delivered the goods to my house, she brought some pretty undies and i bought 1 really nice one. And hor, after she left, i realised that one of the set she gave me dun look right so i went down to their store to change. And i was tempt into buying another set of bra. I jus cannot resist them coz they are so nice. I wanted everything. So that explains why i spent so much money. Now that really made me feel guilty coz i was supposed to be saving up to go hk.... BUT i am still happy coz i have pretty lingerie. Everyone should check out their store.

Anyway, here are some photos...

The display area where all the bras are nicely displayed..

Me in the fitting room holding a very nice bra which i din buy coz i was really spending way too much money...

the aftermaths of exams

*this is a backdated post. i cannot seem to post anything here for the past few days*

These few days were quite happening. My last paper was last Thursday and after the paper, I met hz for dinner at bugis. So happy.. hee.. he msg me in the morn to wish me good luck for my paper and asked me if I want to meet for a while den he go for work. So sweet hor? It must be because I complained that I cannot ask him out when I heard that he was working night shift on the last day of my paper.

On Friday, I had packed day even though I was supposed to go back to school to do my lab report. I went for tuition in the morn, facial in the afternoon where I spent like 300 bucks on facial products and tuition again in the evening. I felt guilty for having spent like 500 in a short span of 2 weeks! Gosh… but hor… like peak yean said, money is small thing, face is big thing. SO I dun feel so guilty about spending so much money. And I really think the products are worth the money. I feel like my face is getting better already. Great!

And Saturday was polling day yet I had another full day. I went to vote in the morn and I was so excited! My first vote wor! After voting I went for tuition den I went for yoga classes. I was sooooooooooo blur, I actually forgot to bring my pants and I have a buy a pair of yoga pants on the spot. Shit mah. Waste money again… But I have always wanted to buy another pair so quite justifiable right? ;P

Sunday was tuition day followed by lab report and a birthday party. God.. that report was terribly hard to do.. I could not even finish half by the time I have to go out for the party. And when I got home, I was so tired I fell asleep while doing the report....

Sooo… since I was not hardworking enough on Sunday, I had to work hard on Monday. In the end I cancelled morning tuition and pushed back my afternoon tuition twice. I managed to finish my report, even though it was badly done… Come to think of it, I think I could have done better for my lab report. I realized that I din write any discussion at all except to answer his questions. After lab report I had to fly to tuition and I was lucky to get a cab in school. Den after tuition, I went to quality hotel to meet some friends for a vegetarian buffet to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The meal was quite ex and I think it is not really worth the money. I ate nothing much except for a lot of mushrooms.

I still have to say this. I think I will do badly for my papers. After I came out from the exam hall, I was not feeling relieved. Instead, I felt a sudden pang of fear. I think I am going to do real badly. Sigh.. but its over.. what to do? And I could not be bothered with my lab report to try n pull up my grades. OMG.. I am such a terrible student….

And since xiling asked, I shall share with her my secret. She asked how I managed to survive through all my last minute lab report sessions. Actually I oso dunno.. haha.. I jus do loh. And when I am really desperate, I become a parasite and start pestering ppl. Hehe… Anyway, like she’s mentioned, this is probably going to be our last report, apart from our final year project.

Well… last more year… live through it. I WILL SURVIVE!

today's polling day

Received this last week. Guess wat it meant? Means I am eligible to vote! yeah! and its the first voting in my district since a very very very long time ago. I am so lucky right? The moment i hit 21, i not only got a lot of money from the govt, i even got to vote. Seems like my year not so bad afterall right?

And today's the day. The day which decide our country's future. Vote carefully ppl. But quite sian.. my block's void deck is a polling station AND YET i have to walk like nearly 400m away to my allocated polling station. How dumb can this be??

yeah! its finally over!

and so am I. Still got report on monday... sian...

Hmm.. review for the exams.. i am feeling scared now. Over my results. I think i am doomed. This is probably going to be the worst is not one of the worse. I seriously think I am getting stupid. Last time, i can remember things jus by copying. I do not have to read a second time and even if i do, i can still rmb what i wrote. This time round... hmm.. i write already den i go back and read.. i was wondering when did i ever wrote such things. And now... things take longer to get into my brain and most of the time, they got in like this but they came out another way.

Sad sad.. exams are getting terrible. Like what i told my friends, i used to be studying for exams like for A's. Now i am studying for my exams like i do for my O's. Slack...

Pray hard and hope that there are ppl who will do worse than me and help to pull up my score. Please please.....
