JacQ says:

JacQ says:
okie thanks a lot!

See how systematic & thorough she is & how she ended up solving my qn without answering it & indirectly did my work.

See... i think the formal KPKB letter writing skills resides in the genes... she is the pro though.. Hahaha!

Hyped...

There has been too much going-ons recently... so much tt i can't focus.
(i reached office at 930am today, bad headache kept me awake till wee hrs last night)

Probably the lack of discipline and/or determination, my mind is utterly in confusion now.

Qi pens her/our excitement clearly and interestingly.

As for me, it was a moment of outsourcing, then P&G's resource & capability, then panicking on FM then sudden realisation ACG is still untouch with random flashes of Harry Potter scenes in my mind (Darn... I'm a late bloomer, yah. I watch Titantic 3yrs after the jack & rose fever) while drifiting away to sequencing the layout for the house.

As mentioned, I'm so screwed this sem!!!

Saw this extremely spolit & RUDE girl. About 7-8yrs, dress in ah-lian pink & accompanied by her mum i suppose (ah-soh in her 40s) & another sister in the MRT last night . She was whining the moment she entered in Novena station, grumbling to her mother.

girl: 我要坐！我要坐！我很累！
the mother: 跟那些人说， 叫他们给你坐！
[i was aldy rolling my eyes at this point. 给你坐?! 你老几?]
girl (pointing to an old hunching uncle): 他, 可以吗？
the mother: 不可以！他是老uncle
girl (turned to the lady beside & with fingers stretched outright at her): 你！给我做！

the lady just glared at her and promptly ignored her request, i would have do the same.
There were abt 8ppl who alighted at the next stop but no one wanted to stand up till the train reached, very obvious what was in their mind.

I havent got a chance to tell min this. If she behaves like tt, i probably turn her upside down n whacked. There's this yet another spoilt brat girl in one of the CH8 drama serials. I warned min of she dared to be so rude, in fact she is getting very bo tua bo shuy recently, she will get it from me. She reacts very adversly to cane/scratcher & pep-talk requires certain skills to make it not like nagging.
I can't believe this ok... rebellious stage at 9yrs?! i was still tuk tuk stupid stupid, reading Famous Five, struggling with spectacles when i was 9yrs ok!

At least, can still threaten her with swimming lessons as a last resort.
(Shit! sounds like Bree van de Kamp in Desperate Housewives)

Ok.. gotta stop. Not going to turn this entry into some parental column.

Sidetrack: I finally found the answer to my weird personality. I've prolonged/extended PMS!!!
That explains why i'm always so touchy, only showing tolerance to people whom I think deserved it.
Mood swings is one of the symptons also, easily sulky easily turned light hearted.

I was quite happy when i managed to find a shop selling good quality sandwich, with lots of veges & tasty ingredients for $2/-
There r many bakeries selling those pathetic sandwich with miserable amount of tuna & planta butter for $1.50 which I kinda mad about.

I going back again for sure =)

Mugging...

I spend close to 8hrs in front of the PC ytd, with the ocassion drifiting out.

Managed to complete 3 econs essay.. which i tot was quite a feat.
Could have done more but i spend my entire saturday reading harry potter... heee

as compared to last sem or even last year itself.. i'm actually quite late in starting revison

O well... not excuses but i simple have no mood to activate my gear after those sloppy lectures, xmas, nye, bday, cny & mc...

This sem:
Focus on MMS & EI cos there's no re-module.
Moderate focus on ACG
Try to do something about understanding FM... this is sucky.
I just have no chemistry with Finance stuff. Kill me...

Can't wait for 1st Apr to come (last paper)

Boo

Ok... pox life is officially over along with CNY. Nothing happening.

Work was breeze... wat was accumulated for 2 weeks was easily cleared in 2hrs, talk about efficiency... hah!

Sch was tough... getting panic. Felt so stress at econs class (1st day back)last night... i tot i will just drop dead there. Had to struggle home with those thick study guides... ( man.. regreted buying the TB. My impulse buying always turn out to be mistake.)

Train was filled with roses, bears, chocolates, PDA-ing couples who hogged the seats. duh...

I could do with extra time & probably another brain.

6 more weeks to this disastrous mth.

20 more mths to this disgusting cycle.

Look forward to next fri where suaku lim is taking her virgin trip to vivocity after talking for 16mths.

Water

No matter how busy one is, always remember to drink lotsa water!!!
My failure to do that last weekend trigger the 'heatiness' to the extreme.

After 3 days of fever & pain, finally i can talk like a normal person.

Last few days was insane. Bulk of the pox was on my scalp & face (horrendous!!!) It was swelling so badly that i couldn't even blink my eyes w/o feeling pain. haizzz...
Still feverish.. (which is common).. right eyes redish (i dunno why) but most of the milder pox have subsided, mainly n hands and arms.

But hor, those serious one are those on strategic areas like wrist lah, around the bra strap area (keep pressing on it), lips lah (cant even eat properly) & the nose!!! (i cant even clear the insides, sux)

Since it is 'heatiness', mum has been making me drinks to 'cool down' like white chrysenthemum & corn water (yes, water not soup. is corn & outer leaves boil in water)

But hor, because my body is very 'yin' itself, all this cooling drink is giving me a sore throat right now. haiz... stupid body.

I've accidentedly poke 3 pox on my face.. dunno will leave scars or not. I've plastered my face with Hazeline Snow Cream... hope it can help.

Ok.. back to mugging. I tot i better clear the finished modules 1st then settle the new ones. This sem is really 靠自己！ I need to make a trip to bras basah when i've recover, hope it's not too late.
All the textbooks are in LCK library ref side, sickening!!!

This is not a good start to new year... hopefully is just the end.

Sidenote: Jun dear, thanks for picking my text! =)
