19. One step at a time

Back again

Friday, January 29, 2010

Well, my trip to HK had come to an end. All good things have to end. But nevertheless, it was a good experience for me (: I've tried so many things which I had never tried in my life before. First time taking a plane, first time been in a country with weather so different from Singapore, first time having/owning/wearing boots, first time taking a roller coaster, first time seeing so many pretty boys on the street, first time I feel that I miss Singapore, first time taking a tram, first time backpack for holiday, first time in Disneyland,first time hugging winnie the pooh, first time seeing a real panda, lol ... and so much more. It's a one time/first time experience I've gained in the beginning of 2010. (: I just realised, I love to travel. Next stop, Taiwan :D But before that, I need to save up.

After this fun journey, the moment I landed, I received sms-es from my group mates. And the next morning I woke up, it's back to reality. I'm now rushing for the last 2 projs which are due next tuesday and wednesday.

At least, I had my fun. It's now or never. ((:

I'm off to a better place

Friday, January 22, 2010

In just a few hours time, I will be temporary biding my goodbye to Singapore. It's the first time in my life that I'm leaving Singapore by plane. I can't wait. I hope my dear body will be able to withstand any cold weather out there, my stupid period can wait till I'm back. All in all, I will then enjoy and have a great time. Shall update more on my first experience when I'm back. Till then, I will be away from 23rd-27th.

Sometimes, I wish I can share some of my happiness with others.

What to feel?

Thursday, January 21, 2010

After hearing this piece of news today, I wonder what kind of emotion I should have on my face?
Should I feel happy and smile?
Should I feel disappointed and frown?
Should I feel deserved and regretted?

If all these are what I am feeling now, I rather it not happen in the first place. Some news are just meant to be kept away from me. Just because of that 10mins, there's a stain somewhere. If only it was a perfect clean piece of paper. Now, it's corrupted because of the 10mins. What the hell!

It's been a super busy week for me. Like finally, my tests/ICA are overrrrr (except for the PM ICA 2 which is tmr) Got over with my Customer Services ICA 2 Role play today. One big NO-NO I made today. :( Have you ever seen the hotel receptionist serve while sitting down? I did! Because I am the one doing it! =.= I didn't realise my mistake till the teacher pointed out [which was during the feedback]. Great, there goes a marvellous customer service provider :o

Whoohoo~ Now's a time to sit back and enjoy. I shall settle the remaining 2 of my projects when I'm back then.

Nevertheless, my aim to get an A is stronger than before. Let me pass my ICAs 2 with super super tons tons of flying colourful rainbows colours.

After much consideration, I've decided to take up caculus. I've decided to give it a try and see how it goes. Thank you so much people for the advice ((: I will try my best and do what I can. I hope for the best.

2010 January is a year/month that allowed me to make many choices. Choices that might only happen once in my life.Choices that may affect my future.Choices that might detemine me meeting new people etc. I had embarked on a year which is totally different from previous years. There are so many new things I had yet to try or discover. Yet, I realised I am revealling or one step closer to each of the things one by one, day by day. It's totally new for me. I hope from now on, more will come, so that I can face,learn and discover from each new experience. Furthermore, I hope to discover more about myself.

In fact, 2010 has also shown me that I'm just a step to adulthood. I realised it's time to leave my warm shelter and be prepared to embrace the harsh storm. It's time to be more independent. To be strong.To be firm.To be responsible.To be able to make the right decisions.To overcome fear.

Why hesitated?...... When the chance's here.

I felt troubled after reading the email in my school inbox. The school's offering a chance for us to take calculus. And this requirement is needed for NUS and SMU. As far as I know, NTU and SIM don't need it. The closing dateline for this is 27 Jan. So now, I'm troubled. Should I give it a try? Should I try? It's a optional elective and they said it won't affect my GPA even if I failed. However, these are some of the questions which made me hesitate.

1) If you took E. Maths at the “O” Levels, and choose to
take this module, and scored:
• B3 and above – You will need to put in effort
• B4 and below - You will need to put in EXTRA effort ( I happened to fall in this range :/)

2) Please reconsider this module if your GPA is below 3.0 Why?
– You may want to focus on getting a good GPA instead of doing well in Calculus
– After all, admission is primarily based on GPA.
– In SMU, conditional entry may be offered so long as you pass their foundational maths bridging module in year 1 [Well, I fall under this too :( ]

3) Will the results of the Calculus module affect my GPA?
As this is an optional module, the results will have no impact on your GPA. You will still be awarded a grade for this module if you pass, and this will be reflected in your academic transcript. However, if you fail the module, the results will not be reflected in your academic transcript

4) Can I choose to drop out from the module halfway if I cannot cope?
You have to decide to drop out before the 2nd week of classes. However, if
you decide to drop out after that, you would be debarred from the exams if
your attendance goes below 85%. This information will not be reflected in
your academic transcript.

Putting that aside, I still don't think I will make it to Uni. So, back to it, with all the above considerations, should I go for it? I know it won't be an easy subject, it will only add on to my additional workload in year 3. So, how how how?

I seriously need some advice on this. Pls vote for me. I'm lost. :(

I'm so happy. Just when I thought chances are super slim, and there it reappeared. What a miracle! (: I'm delighted :D Good things come to those who wait. And those who do good deeds

((:

A last minute changes to meet Jas. We headed down to the new mall 'City Square'. Since it's monday, there's not much of a crowd. To br precise, the place seemed "cold"? I bought some accessories at Aries. So much for not spending today. :(

I'm supposed to be studying for the coming ICA on wednesday. And yet, I'm talking in MSN. Grrr.. Bad distraction. :/

Wheez!
I had flew to another world this w.h.o.l.e afternoon. I'm so engrossed in the world that I don't want to get out. Felt so good and satisfied that I've finally completed the book. Thanks to my sister influence, I've been reading lately.

So that's how I spent my day. Praise me, I know I'm doing something productive. :)

Well, it's only the 7th day of 2010 and I'm having lots of fun. I hope more will come. (: So let's just zoom in on the details.

I started lesson at 9am. It ended at 12 noon and we had exactly 3 hours of break before the next lesson starts. So, the MSC peeps decided to meet up for lunch with Ms deelah. Since Ms deelah's quitting her job and tmr's her last day, and we had 3 hrs of break.... so here it is. Yes, I had Popeye today for the first time. (sorry jas, it's now you. hahas) We didn't have to travel all the way down to airport. It's because there's a new outlet at AMK. So lucky for us. (: The 16 of us cabbed down there.

Reached there and we waited for almost 30 mins to get seated. The place was packed like sardine as it was lunch time. So we stared (really stared) at this group of working adults. There were around 10 of them. So, it's the perfect ideal spot for us with 16 people. hahahas. After lunch-ed, a couple of them headed back to school first.

And the rest of us (ard 10?) headed down to LAN. It was reallllllyyyy amazing. I've never been there at all. Tried out the renowned "L4D2". It's superrrr duper coool and fun, and of course, addictive. I was a noob at this. hahas. I was screaming and shaking like hell. But overall, I think I got the grip of it (: Of course, credits to my "teacher".

In sum, I had a great lunch today. Still considering whether we shall have another LAN session next thursday...?? hahahs. I hope so. I'm so looking forward for it. :D -grins-

Lastly, it's someone's bday today I think. Happy Birthday.

I want to create tons and tons of happy memories this year. I want to try out tons and tons of things which I've not yet try (:

First

Sunday, January 03, 2010

It's my first post of the year.

Spent the day the last 2 days at home. I'm a good girl yesterday. I've cleared out all the unwanted things(notes/papers) that had been in my drawer for don't know how many months. So now, my drawer is near and tidy. It's ready to take in my next sem work. (: -Satisfied-; -nod nod-

Today, it's my mom. She was clearing out the newspapers and magazines. Then I spotted this magazine (Her World). I didn't even know when I got it, or that it even existed. But anyway, it's a bit outdated as it was issued in November 2008. Still, I read it.

I came across this article about "To tell or not to tell how many sexual partners you've had". And saw this interesting sentence. It goes " Women are like cars, everyone wants a brand new car, not a second, third or fourth hand model. But we have to be realistic.These days, finding a virgin is like winning the lottery,so we accept our girlfriends' past as 'mistakes' and move on."

Left me thinking, just how many men out there can accept the fact and move on?

Another interesting article in the magazine was about Women Swearing. It states that saying it is to emphasise the point we made. Eg: Where's the f**king pizza? etc. While some used it for dramatic effects.

Which, I believed it's quite true. Swearing these days are just too common. Be it for venting out anger or just saying for fun. Men or women, both swear. Another example: When I want to tell my girl friend how much I love her outfit, I'll go "wow, that's f**king gorgeous!" instead of just 'that's a pretty dress.'

You can spot the different right away. True eh? It all comes down to how we view it.

I'm kinda disappointed. But there's no other choice to salvage the situtaion and I know it coming sooner or later. Another wasted money.
