It's almost the end of the semester. Again. When the mad rush to complete projects happen. And then all the tests come. Then it'll be holidays soon.
Hopefully booking discussion rooms = getting down to work in the library (instead of having a new hide out to sleep in). Loads and loads of work to complete..neverending.
New resolution: To finish my work due at least 2 hours in advance of the deadline so that it's not such a mad rush always!
Resolution #2: Do not eat so much.

ridiculous happenings
1.Alighted from the bus thinking that the area looked like lavender. Only to realise that I was in Little India after I alighted. Waited for years before my bus finally came.
2.Back home, Canelle shitted on friend's shorts. Lao sai. Fully on his shorts and nothing on the bed though. suay.
3. Washed the shorts and put into the washing machine.
4. Went out to check after a while. Heard suspicious clanging.
5. Looked into the porthole and saw something red moving around. Hmph.
6. Looks above the washing machine: where's my specs?
7. Oh my god!
8. Now, I have a sparkling clean pair of spectacles. :)

transitions
on the bus transiting from one place to another, often many questions about various transitions in life will be pondered upon.
there are many transitions in life..just between any 2 different things, be it mental, or physical.
happy transitions, not so happy transitions. life goes on..

What is your working style?
You have a great deal of warmth, but may not show it until you know a person well. You keep your warm side inside, like a fur-lined coat. You are very faithful to duties and obligations related to ideas or people you care about. You take a very personal approach to life, judging everything by your inner ideals and personal values.
You stick to your ideals with passionate conviction. Although your inner loyalties and ideals govern your lives, you find these hard to talk about. Your deepest feelings are seldom expressed; your inner tenderness is masked by a quiet reserve.
In everyday matters you are tolerant, open-minded, understanding, flexible, and adaptable. But if your inner loyalties are threatened, you will not give an inch. Except for your work's sake, you have little wish to impress or dominate. The people you prize the most are those who take the time to understand your values and the goals you are working toward.
Your main interest lies in seeing the possibilities beyond what is present, obvious, or known. You are twice as good when working at a job that you believe in, since your feeling adds energy to your efforts. You see the needs of the moment and try to meet them. You want your work to contribute to something that matters to you--human understanding, happiness, or health. You want to have a purpose beyond your paycheck, no matter how big the check. You are perfectionists whenever you care deeply about something.
You are curious about new ideas and tend to have insight and long-range vision. You are interested in books and language and are likely to have a gift of expression; with talent you may be excellent writers. You can be ingenious and persuasive on the subject of your enthusiasms, which are quiet but deep-rooted. You are often attracted to counseling, teaching, literature, art, science, or psychology.
The problem for you is that you may feel such a contrast between your inner ideals and your actual accomplishments that you may burden yourself with a sense of inadequacy. This can happen even when, objectively, you are being as effecive as others. It is important for you to find practical ways to express your ideals; otherwise you will keep dreaming of the impossible and accomplish very little. If you find no actions to express your ideal, you can become overly sensitive and vulnerable, with dwindling confidence in life and in yourself.

Hmph.
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

blinded
As usual, carelessness comes in during tests. I didn't even have to calculate the answer, just needed to write the correct multiple choice answer in the blank. Yet, I was so blinded by the wrong answer, because in the back of my head, I automatically rounded up the answer and was wondering why the lecturers do not give the exact answer as one of the choice.
Only seeing what I want to see, and missing out on other choices, including super obvious ones already laid out in front of me seems to be what I like to do. :(

NUSCO Allure '09
Attending practices has been part of my life since I returned from Hong Kong. From the first Saturday in Singapore, with a lot of unwillingness, I dragged myself to CFA for the practice. Over the weeks, I started enjoying the practices more and more though, and going to CFA has become a routine, part of my lifestyle and stopped feeling so much like a chore.
Finally, all the efforts paid of last Saturday when the concert was finally staged. With many visual effects, I believe the whole experience of watching the concert is very different from any other concert. Of course, as a performer, it is something really new to me. From the video, to the coloured lights, to the smelly, suffocating smoke and the wonderful zoom-in on the pianist's hands..it is really cool to have all these. The effects have definitely put Chinese traditional music (I mean, the pieces were so traditional!) in a very different light.
This is so far the best NUSCO concert that I have performed in during my three years there. :) And I think a very, very big part goes to amiable NUSCO-ians, who made practices and the on stage experience so enjoyable, and also the very capable leaders that we have. :) Three cheers to everyone! I am glad I didn't give this concert a miss :)
