Had a crazy weekend...
And I didn't hang out with my friends or what, just staying at home or down at the coffeeshop. And Sunday was spent on a reunion dinner with my mother side and then a gathering with my father side cuzzies.

So so, tired. Slept at 6+am on Sunday and I woke up just 5 hours later. Not even my minimum requirement of 7 hours' sleep. I don't know why but I feel that I'm making more effort in this semester in terms of projects and reports. Like I want to fine-tune the projects (of course that happens after the projects are DONE done.) so much because I'm worried that a simple mistakes can let us lose marks.
So disappointing to find that some group mates don't feel the same? Especially those who think they can just produce some lousy quality work and expect us to edit the work for them. Really can't stand him!!! >: (

I saw someone tweet, "Some people can be great friends but lousy project mates." So true! I think it puts me in a tough position if I'm unhappy about my friend's performance because it'll be hard to really tell them how I feel... Shouldn't let projects destroy my friendship unless absolutely necessary like if he or she really damn slack and stuff. As for those who're not even friends...different story. Ha.

Another 2-3 weeks, projects and presentations will be over! And after another week, exams will be over!
February 29 please come soon.

Poly makes me TOUGH.

Deep

I wonder what it means to get married and love someone for the rest of your life.
Seeing my parents like this, I really wonder if it'll be the same for me in future. I don't think loving someone for a long time can be considered an easy task. After awhile, more and more flaws are revealed and you have to accept them. Accepting flaws has never been easy for me because, I admit, I'm a pretty fucked up person. Yes, I'm learning to look at flaws in a different way, I sure am. That's because I don't want to lose the people I have now...But I'm not sure if it's the same for others.

Once again, it's never easy to love someone for a long time. Even though I can't say I have much experience...
It's not easy to live with another person, embrace their flaws, accept their bad temper, and also to devote their feelings wholly to the other half. Maybe once in a while the heart will be led astray...and that's a challenge too, to the relationship.

I don't think I've ever felt more sad over my parents' quarrel before. I don't know why but this time was exceptionally impactful for me. Maybe it's the spilled tea, chicken rice scattered all over the floor or the chair with a broken leg. Or maybe it's the fact that they mentioned divorce again.
I don't know why but seeing them quarrel makes me think so much about love. I strongly believe that my parents love each other because I've heard of how they spoke about each other and I can sense love in their tone and their eyes. If they are splitting up after 21 going on 22 years of marriage just because of a business...I'd do anything to stop it because it really isn't worth it.

Sigh, so many things on my mind...
So little words to express how I feel...

Slaves of the school

Look what school has done to us...Ok maybe just me.

CMON LET'S DO IT!!!

BACK TO REALITY.
PROJECTS, REPORTS, PRESENTATIONS, TESTS, PEER EVALUATIONS ALL COMING AT ONCE.

Fatigue

Just when I thought a busy week just passed by, there are more to come.

This is endless! I mean no, it will end eventually (when I graduate) but for now, the workload seems endless.
So much to do, so little time, so rushed, so stressed. I hate this feeling.
Yet I feel that this is just a test that the school is putting us through because it will be like the what we'll go through in the real world....right?
Whatever it is...I'm definitely not looking forward to it.

Anyhoo, here's my schedule for February

I hope that whatever I'm going through now will be worth it.
I know HTM is one of the toughest courses no doubt, but I don't regret getting into this course!
I hope it'll make me a more capable person compared to other people having an easier time in poly.



Trying to be positive here.

PS: Study week is not a complete week. GO SUCK IT, PLEASE.

For you, B.

NTS

So why bother with people?

Note to self: Be happy in life.

1st January

Hello there! So Yesterday was 1st January 2012, Happy New Year everyone!

It was also Bev's birthday :)

We went out together of course. Wanted to get his birks for him today but the fucken outlets at Centrepoint and Raffles City ran out of size 42. Despite that, we enjoyed yesterday as much as ever.

We just took bus rides and drop off at random stops and start walking around aimlessly while talking and laughing. Yesterday was just, great.

Anyway! We were waiting for this bus from Raffles Hotel to town and we saw this sign saying "Mint Museum for Toys". So we went to take a look and even bought tix!

It was quite interesting but really small. :(

And most of the toys on display are of our parents' generation. Dang, I don't even know them! Except for some like Popeye, Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, etc. But still, not entirely a huge fan of these characters so yeah, money not well spent. :/

After that, we went for dinner at Marmalade Pantry (HAHA). I finally got the chance to try the Spaghetti Carbonara. Mmm, too sticky for my liking, regretted not choosing something else but then again if I didn't try it yesterday I would have regretted not trying it if you get what I mean. Bev ate the steak sandwich. Not fantastic.

Wanted to have sticky date(!!!) but we decided we're too poor so maybe next time when our wallets are thicker.

I can't wait to go to Wild Honey again!!! It's this awesome place serving all-day breakfast and they have over 10 types of breakfasts available. I had the American Breakfast the first time I went there. Will definitely go back to try the Salmon on Rosti!

Oops, sidetracked a little. We ended the day by chilling at Orchard Central..

How was your New Year?
