its blog time...
email is flooded...
Everyone likes to bomb my email recently. Siao.... It was already very flooded with all my emails from my project group mates during the week and other ppl still like to bomb my inbox.
A fren sent me like 11 emails in 2 hrs!! All forwarded emails which I have to click many times jus to get to the mail. I was damn pissed lah.. Not that I dun like all the forwarded emails but send all at a time is damn irritating lah. Plus I was rushing out my biz plan and the emails keep coming in..... And today, another fren jus sent me like 8 emails in a single day.
I really think that everyone is so bored, waiting for school to start while I am still so damn busy....

Entrepreneurship and a chance encounter
I finally resigned from my job on 14th July and I was really really happy. The week following that, I had a lot of things done and did some shopping. I brought my brother to cut his hair, did hair treatment myself, went for body massage, bought a pair of damn pretty shoes and 2 pairs of super nice bottoms and did some catching up with my friends. But alas, one week of break is so short. The entrepreneurship course starts on Saturday with a stupid orientation. It was pretty interesting but got too many ppl in 1 group so it was quite dumb. And there was some conflict at the end which made me felt like the ppl in BS are really.. hmm...
Starting from Monday was a super intensive 1 week course. The lectures itself was damn boring. Maybe it had something to do with my instructor. Some of the instructors were quite interesting but the main one not nice. He's not a bad guy but just felt really stressed under him and he does not really help much. For this one week course we had to do 1 presentation and 1 business plan. The presentation was finally over and I think we did a pretty good job. BUT we are having a great deal of problem with our business plan. We keep changing the idea until we are all very tired about it already. But I really hoped to be able to do a good one coz we spent a lot of time on it.
And I met a very special person in the process of doing my project. There was a small conflict when it came to our groups’ allocation on Saturday. The instructor wanted to group us but most people does not want it and in the end we still ended up forming our own groups against the instructor’s wish. And got this girl who shared my opinion that we should not stick to our own friends and came over to join my group coz I refuse to move. And you know what? That person was my kindergarten classmate!!! We were best friends in kindergarten but we lost touch after that coz we went to different primary schools and all before we finally met in NTU again.
It was really an 阴差阳错. We stayed back in school on Thursday till very late to settle our stuff for presentation on Friday so my father came to pick me up in school. And I realized that she lives very near to me so I offered to send her back. And on the way back, we were wondering how come we have never met each other when we stay so really near to each other for so long. We compared primary school, secondary schools and everything but found nothing in common. Until she asked me about my kindergarten and we finally realized that we knew each other! I was so so so so happy. It was like finding a lost part of your life. Here’s a photo of the 2 of us. By the way, the photos look new right? I used the photo restoration feature for my scanner.

Can recognize which one is me? All my friends said that Mea Fun is still recognizable coz she din change much but I changed a lot. Even Mea Fun said I changed a lot and she really did not recognize me at all except that she found my name and my address really familiar. I am really amazed at her memory coz she can even remember my surname! I only knew her name and I wasn’t even too sure about her name, except it had a mei something one. opps...

My kindergarten class photo. Try and find me.... I will give the answer next week. Hehe....
Come to think of it, I do not regret coming to NTU that much now. At least I found something that is so valuable to me.

in a serious state of depression
Sigh… wasn’t feeling good these few days. I think I am going through pms. I am really looking forward to a long break but it seems like everything dun always turned out as planned.
I seriously think I should stop reading people’s blogs. They jus make me feel so depressed coz my life is so damn boring compared to them. I really long to go overseas and I really envy those people who are getting a great life overseas, be it for studying, exchange, summer studies or just for a holiday. Even those ppl who are staying in Singapore are getting a life too. Like getting some experience by doing internship. At least they are doing something meaningful. Not like me. Not only did I failed to get my internship, even plans to go overseas were all empty discussions. So here I am in Singapore, feeling so sick and tired of my life. Work dun make me feel good coz the money only stay in my bank for a while and I dread going back to school coz I think my school s*** like mad. Even my relationship seemed to be going downhill. And my luck at gambling s*** like mad. It seems like nothing is going well.
The SK-II mask I bought today seemed to lift my mood a little bit but I still feel very depressed. I hope my mood improve over the next few days…

update.. finally...
Well, quite a number of things have happened these past few weeks. I seemed to have something on everyday. Take this week for example, Mon n Wed got tuition, Thurs I went to my uncle’s house and help him fix computer, today me got public duty, sat got tuition in the morn, an event in the noon and a dinner at night, den Sunday got tuition in the morning and a mahjong session in the afternoon. There goes my weekend…
These couple of weeks was very busy in the office. The place was like a mad house. Calls kept coming in and we were super short of staff. The moment the phone was down, it start ringing less than 5 seconds later. And the AUNTIES can still walk leisurely from one place to another. My gosh.. I literally ran can? Even from my seat to the photocopy room. I really cannot stand them. And the aunties hor.. like to bully the temp staff. Whenever it was their turn to retrieve the voicemail, they never seemed to be able to finish calling. And hor, got this ONE auntie, she can give us 6 pieces of voice mail at 530 and tell us to help her call. And even have the cheek to say that she’s on leave the next day. Idiot.. I do not mind calling for her but can dun give me at such a time? I hate leaving things undone. I remembered once when I stayed back to finish my calls and the next day I realized that we still have many undone coz the aunties only gave us that morning!! Argh…… Not only that, we are always blamed for everything and even framed for not making progress with our work. WTH… we have other things to do oso can? And the aunties are not helping much.. idiot… I am really amazed with my friend’s mother and my ex-supervisor. How can they stand such ppl for so long?? 1 month I already want to strangle them and they managed to work with them for at least a few years?
Talk about work makes me mad. I though office work would better but now hor, I think field might be better. Minus the house to house calls, at least I dun have office politics. Not that I m involved in anyway, but I jus cannot stand the ppl in the office. And hor, at least while I was doing field work, I dun have so much encounters with irritating ppl. Coz I was working at the officer, I literally have encounters with ppl from all parts of Singapore. And I only have 1 conclusion. Singaporeans are terrible ppl. Not everyone, but in general, Singaporeans are not the most polite kind around. If you are not going to like what I am going to say, please do not read on.
As I was saying, I get to meet all kind of ppl. And hor, because you are from the government, ppl are complaining to you and asking you to help. They kept saying that we are the government and we should help them. Some ppl are really very poor things but there is really nothing much I can do to help them. But at least they are still polite and nice ppl. SOME ppl are rich like siao.. live in private flats, bungalows and terrace and complain that progress package not enough, mrt fare so expensive blah blah blah… Siao ppl.. like I do not pay the same fare. And if you want a bigger progress package den move to a smaller house lah. Who ask you to live in such a big house? Serve you right… Not only that, there are ppl who say they are very poor and ask if we can help but hor, they are earning a couple of thousands a month. Not a lot, but definitely much better than those family without income. Sigh.. still got a lot more lah. I always meet weird Singaporeans.
Anyway, jus a couple of weeks more and I am no longer here.. counting down..

rena in making...
And, on Wednesday, I was blurred again. I took the wrong bus!! I cannot believe it. I thought I board 190. Den when the bus turned, I though I took 960. I thought it was fine coz I can change to NEL at Little India. In the end, the bus turned and stopped at Newton MRT station then I realized that I had board 700!! I cannot imagine how blur I was…. How did I manage to imagine 700 as 190?? I think I must have been too tired…
Must be all the aerobics classes that I have been going for. I have been attending kickboxing classes for the past week. I really enjoyed my Wednesday class coz it was less stressful. The class on Monday was not very nice. I do not really like the instructor even though I can see that he has some pretty loyal fans. I attended his pilates class before and I din really enjoy it too. But the Wednesday class was stress-free and was very fun indeed. And the instructor is very cute! I think he looks like JJ except that JJ is much more good looking lah. I can still attend his classes for the next 2 weeks as tuition only resume at the last week of june holidays. So happy… does anyone wants to join me? Huimin?

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

Bra Shoppe
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 aftermaths of exams
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!

how to deal with exam stress?

First, they have a super authentic looking menu. Looks like some manual right?



Yeah! Presenting to you.. my completed popiah. Taste good and look good too right?
Some random photos...
This girl is the sis of a student in the class next door on Mondays. haha.. she is very cute right? So pretty with such big eyes. Look a bit like a cartoon character hor?
The cutest child in the world. My cousin! He is so funny. We were playing badminton at the court and he took the racket and play guitar. Elvis in the making...

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