Haha I was reading Cherylene's blog and I saw this: "Agnes the Meticulous".
:P
I'm really surprised. Am I one? I'm very curious. Because I'd thought I wasn't one unless it's work/projects then I tend to be fussy cos I wanna got good grades!
Anyone, tell me?
Heh. :p :p :p

You know, I'm beginning to enjoy poly life.
Yes, it's really surprising consider that coming that from me.
Although it had not been what I had imagine it to be, but well, it's really not that bad although for everything, there are always ups and downs.
At least I'm not in jc learning things that are not relevant as to what I wanna do in the future. Fretting over results (like who doesn't?), learning subjects which I have absolute no interest in, tight school rules with regards to uniform etc... Having been accustomed to my campus life, I now yearn for a larger campus! Haha mad huh.
Projects were taking a toll and still is. Econs just need to be printed out. Marketing is left. Sigh marketing is my biggest headache. Exams are approaching soon...end of August that is. I need to study soon. There are lots to study. T_T
I totally can't wait for September!!! That's when my holidays begin. Geez!
Alright off to do Econs tutorial and later marketing project!
Seeya!
*I miss speaking to a whole lot of people. Sigh :(*

HELLO!!!
:D
Long time no blog. For a week huh? Or was it a few days? Lol I didn't check.
I've been kinda busy with school work and projects. I had insufficient sleep for 2 weeks already. I have 2 projects left to complete and hand up --- economics and marketing. Sigh...
Gym training is gonna start @ 6pm.
Woohoo I went to the library and borrowed 2 cds this time. The Beach Boys -- Sounds of summer, which was brought into the lib this july. Ah and I'd also borrowed Coldplay's A rush of blood to the head. I wanna borrow so many cds! Spoilt for choice I guess.
I love the weekends. Even there are still lots to do, at least I do it in the comfort of my home and I need not go to school!
I kinda give up waiting for my penpals' letters. It's like I have 15% left of hope for those letters. Sigh this is so sad.
Today's management project presentation was okay... we had wore formal wear. Well, kinda. There was photo-taking and I went home for lunch. Here I am in school again!
I'm feeling so bored, I don't know what to type anymore. Feeling up empty space eh. Haha. I'm also way too lazy to change my blog layout as well. Mid-semestral tests are approaching in a month's time and I'm starting to get worried. I've not been revising my work much because I've spent lots of time on projects etc.
Seeya.

Currently listening to: Blink 182's self-titled album
It's so sad that Blink 182 had split up. I know this is old news but I can't help it. Anyway I've been listening to cds being played on my stereo for this whole week instead of mp3s on the computer. I read that Singaporeans still have a traditional taste for music, in which we prefer cds. How true. Haha. After all, the cds encompassed 'goodies' which creates satisfaction and surprise (?) and you can't derive all these from a single mp3 file.
I ate fastfood again today. Argh I hate (and am sick of) fastfood! I tend to avoid it in school nowadays. Just so bleaugh. I need 'real' food. Not some animal carcass mixed with fats and cooked in used oil.
I garner that for the next 2 weeks, I'm not going to have enough sleep again. Projects are taking a toil on me. Even my weekends are busy and I can't seem to relax. I plan to complete perhaps a couple of tutorial homework today before I 'embark' on my "journey to the project-land".
Uh right, I don't know what to type anymore.
Cya!

I'm addicted to The oc songs lol.
Marketing lecture was as usual, good. CSA tutorial was boring. Haha and I sat right under my tutor's nose cos I was really lazy to move. I came earlier and that was the only seat that was empty.
This week's gonna be like last week. I guess this was the only day which I need not stay back in school for anything, whether projects or CCA but that also means I have to do my projects at home. So either way, I guess it's almost the same except that you are doing things in the comfort of your home.
After lunch I went to queue up for Tanya's concert ticket. I am quite surprised I'd actually done that! The queue was kinda long and I had to wait around 5 minutes in order to receive my ticket. Haha one of Singaporeans' favourite pastime is queueing up fer free things. I've never been to a concert with the exception of those school band concerts and my first will be a chinese concert?! Haha honestly, I know nuts abt Tanya's chinese songs but I do like her English songs. Hopefully she would sing her old English singles which will certainly make some feel nostalgic.
Before CSA tutorial began, there was this cmm guy who sat beside me and was printing his public relations stuff. I felt kinda sad at that time. Looking at his computer screen, I saw a few articles. I would certainly be enjoying doing that compared to what I'm doing now. Business was never quite my interest although I know it is interesting. However, it's no use grumbling huh, just gotta get through these 3 years and hopefully get to learn what I'm really interested in when I enter university.
Right, I had better stop here and start doing my work.
Au revoir.

Gym training on Friday was alright except that...
WE SAW A GREENISH-YELLOW SNAKE!
on the track that is. We were running 1.6km for warm-up and as we started to run our 2nd round, the drama happened. I didn't wear my specs so everything that I saw was blur. From a distance, I had thought it was a yellow strip of long, thin wrapper as it was 'wriggling' on the track. It was windy at that time. The girls beside me didn't say anything so I presumed it was a non-living thing. As I ran over it (yes, over the snake!), the girls screamed hysterically and I wondered what had happened. The girl beside me ran all the way to the last lane. Hahaha. They were shocked that I had no reaction. Then again, they remembered that I can't see clearly cos I wasn't wearing my specs and explained to me what had actually happened.
Apparently they didn't realise it was a snake until the snake's head popped up! Ekk! >< What a close shave it was, considering that if I had actually stepped on the snake, I would have been bitten! Phew. Haha then for the rest of the round we were talking about the snake. The weird thing is, how can a snake actually appear on the school's track? Maybe it hid at the grass field and there were drains there as well. For the next 2 laps, whenever we ran near that area, we would check if the snake was still there to scare us. Lol.
Saturday was a disappointment cos 4h class gathering was cancelled the last minute. I had been looking forward to it! :( In an email to us, Mr Teoh said that he learnt that the meeting was cancelled because one or two pple in their cliques could not come along. Honestly, when I read that, I felt so disappointed! Like what the hell?!
Now this is one reason why I dislike cliques!
Quote from the email: Well this guy writing to you...... does NOT believe in cliques and he has no cliques all these years. Why must he be tied down by "rules" of the clique ? He's a friend to all.
I relate to this sooo much!!!
:(
I'm facing this 'clique' problem in class presently and I just hate it. I hate cliques! Grr.
Now the next gathering is supposedly in December, to cater to those peeps in jc. Let's hope it won't be cancelled again.
So I went for cp's bonding session after reservoir training. Ate Macs with them and went to the arcade. I love car-racing lol. I lost the 2 other tokens cos I'd misplaced it. Ah careless me. I was broke soon after so I didn't play any more arcade games. After that we went home.
Sunday! I wish I lived at the seaside. Haha anyway back to school work! Boohoo.
cya :)

Listening to: Music from The O.C. : Mix 1
HELLO! :)
I'm feeling really happy now.
The earlier part of the day was sucky but now it's great, until gym training starts later. Haha.
Two tutorials in the early morning starting from 9am --- Accounting and management. Then followed by asking my marketing group to stay back for the 1st Avenue thingy which we had to do. Sigh.
Seriously, projects are driving me crazy. Not yet close to being insane but perhaps soon, if I can't take it any longer. I start to feel neaseated and vomit all the nasty stuff. I become hot-tempered, say things I shouldn't say in front of my classmates, like saying the research done by that person is retarded. To make things worse, I say them loudly until strangers in the computer lab can hear what I say. Annoyed and irritated, I start becoming fidgety. Oh well...
Sometimes you wonder if you're the only one concerned with the projects cos your fellow groupmates don't seem to bother and let you fret. The thing is, I hate doing projects the last minute (doesn't mean that I hate doing things the last minute :P). Take for example this "E" project which needs to be handed up next Wednesday, my groupmates don't seem to care and I'm the person who seems to be the one nagging (and so become irritating, maybe) and talking about the project.
At times, I'm quite astonished at the rate my groupmates do project work. They don't seem to mind if they hand up sloppy work. All I can say, attitude sucks. One of my groupmate in a certain project does not even have a single freaking idea what we did and did not even bother to ask. Like I'm gonna give that person credit during peer evaluation. Har har.
Is this how things work in a poly? I overheard another group barely starting their project and next week is the deadline! I'll scream in my mind I tell ya. People are kinda laid back here, which initially I wasn't quite accustomed to but I've learnt to adapt. Well, kinda. Or maybe it all boils down to the individual's attitude.
While waiting for the train a few days back, I saw this quote but I can't exactly remember what the actual words are. Here goes: "Ability is what you can do. Motivation is what makes you do it. Attitude is what makes you do it well." Something like that lah.
Enough of projects and school work. These topics just dappen my mood.
Ooo, I love exploring my school campus lol. Today I went to the library, attempting to do my project work while my other classmates are off to celebrate another classmate's birthday with a bbq dinner in mind. Majority went I guess. I want to go but I have cca :( and it's not nice to skip it. My seniors may not like it. Oh yeah back to the library part, everyone was occupying the computers at levels 2,3 and 4 and I was lazy to walk all the way down to the com labs at level 1 so I saw this learning periodicals corner and decided to explore it. WOW! I love this place already. Hahaha. I wanted to watch this dvd but all the dvd players were taken up so I had no choice (?) and decided to watch a tape. I don't know why but I chose this 55 mins worth of environmental animation clips to watch and I got kind of bored after watching about 15-20 mins of it? Partly because the quality was kinda sucky. In the end I borrowed 3 music cds from there. The first being the cd I'm listening to now in the library while I'm blogging. Next was Jamie Cullum's Catching Tales which I had wanted to buy but didn't cos I wanted to save money. I had his first album and I loved it. Last but not least, Lou's Mambo No. 5! Haha old song but I felt like borrowing it so I did.
Gym training starts at 6pm.
Tomorrow, reservoir training from 9-11am and 4H class gathering which follows straight after! I miss 4H peeps loads... I'm not sure if they miss me (am I being cheeky here? xP).
Alright I'm tired of typing. Right now I'm listening to the last track of the cd, the California song so you can roughly figure out how long I've been typing out this blog entry. Guess the time and highlight! -> 51.55
Ciao! :D

Happy 17th birthday to Elaine, my primary school classmate and Syarfah, my poly classmate!
Listening to: Kizuna - orange range
All of a sudden I feel really tired. Not tired in the bad sense but I feel that I really want a break from everything. In my mind right now, I'm dreaming of travelling in a train that's passing through the countryside in some foreign country. I feel safe. There's adequate sunlight and greenery.
A trip overseas will really enlighten me I guess. I want a break, from this life, fer now. I wish I can, I dream of it although I know it's not possible right now. Well, dreaming does not hurt. That explains why I'm such a dreamer.
Right back to reality, I love the weekend. It will also mean lotsa planning, doing my tutorials and preparing my projects. These are really a headache but ah well, I shan't think of them fer the time being. A good night's sleep is all I need...with my sweet dreams too :)

Germany lost to Italy.
That's really sad. I stayed up to watch the match live and I'm glad I did. What is done is done though. I'm not too interested in the France - Portugal match so I'm not going to watch it. I want to watch the finals.
There's land training soon and my knees still hurt. I hope they don't feel that way when I run. I still can't walk the speed that I used to. Now I hafta walk small and fast steps and I hate that.
I am reaaaaally looking forward to 4H class gathering next sat! Ahhh, I miss my classmates! (:

German sausages please!
I'm still contemplating if I should watch the semi-final match of Germany and Italy. It's 3am sg time, which means 9pm germ time. I have school after that and I promised my grp mates to meet up earlier for project work.
Should I or shouldn't I???
My knees still hurt. I can't walk in the speed I'd used to. Sigh. I was practically limping away when I tried to run to the lecture theatre for acc lecture this morning. -_- I reaaaally dunno if I can run fer tmr's land training. Last week's non-stop 4.8km run was already a killer. If by tmr my knees still hurt, I think I better not run or I'll strain my knees.
We are getting econs test results tmr during tutorial! Ahhh! I hope I got an A. Pleeeeeeease!!! Alright I gotta go do my econs tutorial questions.

I'd just visited some blogs and guys' blogs are just more fun to read, really.
I think it's cos girls' blogs tend to be more emotional? Dammit lah. Haha. I think I must stop blogging about my emotional shit. Well you can't blame me though, I'm a girl! So duh, girls tend to be more emotional.
Some guys do blog the way girls blog...those are the new age sensitive guys I guess.
Ah... I'll try to blog about stupid stuff tmr lol, and less of the emotional factors.

People who have a higher level of oxytocin trust others easily.
That was, what I'd read in the papers today. How people feel a flood of oxytocin in their brain when they are with the ones they love.
Apparently there are classmates who are dating each other right now. If I'm not wrong, there are about 3 such couples. The other classmates who are attached are dating someone not within my class boundary. Honestly, I don't think it's a really good idea to date someone in class. That's just my opinion. Perhaps others have their own point of view but personally, I think these class romances will probably lead to disasters if not handled with tender loving care.
My life is in a whirl, come to think of it. Poly life is really different and I enjoy and drat some parts of it. However, I try to remain optimistic, that a different school life would make my life more interesting, isn't it?
I've been getting my mid-sem tests recently and I'm split in between. I had been putting lots of pressure on myself and having high expectations of myself. I would get really upset with myself for that moment if I didn't get an A or minimum B grade. I blame myself fer not studying hard enough. So far I've got 4 out of 5 test results and I got an A, B, C+ and a C. Totally not satisfied I tell ya. The grading system, from the highest to the lowest, is like this: A, B+, B, C+, C, D, E, F. F means fail but I don't intend to have that EVER in my test results or I'll be completely shattered. I'd better study reaaaaaaally hard and smart for semestral exams or I'll be so dead.
My class life is pretty dead...for me. The rest of my classmates probably enjoy their company/clique but I have neither so I enjoy whichever company I have. I'm quiet and I can't stand it but on the other hand, I don't have anything to say. I can't help repeating this but really, thank goodness for cca! I look forward to cca more than I look forward to go to class to face my classmates. My classmates aren't a bad bunch, it's just that I don't click with them. My quietness make me appear anti-social but I don't bother much. I just don't like being someone that I'm not, someone that they expect me to be and I've to put on an act whenever I go to school. I'd rather stay quiet and not put on a mask.
My faith and patience in waiting for my penpals' letters are running really dry to the limit whereby there's a drought. For example, I wrote 2 letters to this girl overseas, who is of my age and it has been 2 months since I'd ever gotten a letter back. I see her online but snail mail is just different, if you get what I mean. Sigh. Also, I'm not the sort who will ask or tell people that I've not receive their letter yet. It's not nice I think. Refering back to that quiz which I had did last time, it's true...that faith in people sentence.
I'm tired. Bye.

I'm in school now again. CSA lab lesson is gonna begin in less than 5 minutes?I don't know why but I seem to be more enthusiastic to blog when I'm in school compared to when I am at home. Maybe this is due to the laziness and procrastination I feel when I am at home.
Oh well......

An otolaryngologist is all I need.
I'm not in a very good mood due to my Swimmer's ear and bruised legs which hurt when I walk. Got these during pool training today.
oh well.
First things first, I've managed to do recovery! I could do it with the paddle and even handroll. Is that right? Haha I hear them say handroll so I presume that is the right word. I've not done it with the ball yet though. However, I think I can do it since I could do handroll already.
oh yeah, the person who taught and guided me fer recovery was Michelle, who was the ex-captain(?) of the canoe-polo team. My seniors once told us during land training that many guys joined the cca because of her and that she was very pretty. I didn't know that person was her until I asked her if she was in year 3 and she said she was part of the alumni. Right... she is pretty, really. However, the guys would not like her just for her beauty I guess. You would classify that under bimbos. She's also a really nice person so that's another perk. Haha. I could do recovery under her! How about that. I irritated the current captain the last time I did it during the previous training. Now the current captain is surprised I could do it. Haha! I heard her saying,"We got you to teach and she could do it!" Then Michelle replied,"Must be patient with them..." Lol.
It was funny cos initially, I could do it in front of her and another senior but when they asked the captain to look (and I knew she was going to look), I couldn't do it! Haha! Talk about pressure.
At the end of the training session, I could not believe that I could finally do recovery. Like what the hell?! Haha. I'd told Michelle that I was the slowest amongst the girls cos I'd always felt so. Weakest too. As I've said in the past, I'm not good in sports. She was encouraging, telling me to have confidence and was patient and helpful with whatever I did. I kept thanking her lol. See? She's really nice isn't it?
AND...when I came for training, I'd overheard some waterpolo guys commenting on this team mate of mine. Guy A said to guy B,"Eh eh! See that long hair one, she wear bikini!" They were obviously drooling lah please. The rest wore swimsuits. During training, the waterpolo guys were looking at the other girls train as well. Dirty-minded little creatures! Haha. I saw that cos I was practising my recovery techniques at the wall of the pool before I proceeded to the paddle. I also heard Joanne's voice...the very loud senior (I think she's also in the alumni) whom other seniors told us about. She was practically yelling imo. Haha and in the beginning I'd actually wondered who that was. I couldn't see how she looked like though, cos I don't wear my specs in the pool.
Now, I've got Swimmer's ear. Look at http://www.entdocs.com/ears.htm for more details. Yes I actually went to research on what has happened to my ear. I need to go to the docs to 'suck' out everything. Instead of asking if I was alright, my parents actually said I had brought it upon myself because of the pool trainings. Like whatever. I'm the one who is forcing them to bring me to a doc (I am evil yes) so that I can hear. I'm really used to encouraging myself since young, since I feel that I don't get enough encouragements and get wet blankets thrown over me. My legs are covered with many bruises as well. Got them from knocking myself in the boat. They look soooo ugly and horrible that if I don't wear pants, people would probably think someone abused me or something, which happens not to be the case.
Sigh.
Night.
