it has just dawn on me that i have quite a lot of things to do. midterms, project meeting, assignments, homeworks and the list goes on and on and on and on. the thought of "the list" make me cringe a little, but i told myself to just do it one thing at a time. cause things would eventually get done. however, the state of my body right now doesn't allow to get things done. urrghh. despite making sure that i have 6 hours of sleep each day, i feel extra exhausted by the time the clock struck 8pm. That is why i am here now, cause I am not in my most productive state!!

what's wrong with me?

today was worse. thinking that my body was not functioning well due to lack of exercise last week, i woke up before my 0830 class to go for a jog. It did me good during my morning class, but after lunch, i was back to my sleepy state. I even fell asleep when I attended a talk which was supposedly for my professional development. I was falling asleep again when i tried to get some readings done on the bus. And when I got home, I took an hour nap when it was only meant to be 25 mins only. urrghh.

on a different note, a note from a friend whom i have not spoken to for a long time cheered me up:

hey fran, how r u? haven heard from u for ages. where r u now? ok, take
good care.

xx

though it is just a simple message, it makes me ecstatic to know that an old friend still remembers me. plus, xx used to be a ....... (fill in the blank yourself!!) funny how that simple message could reconnect our friendship once more as we began to exchange emails (almost) everyday. or perhaps, i am easily-contented with how things are happening around me right now.

ok, out of my room i shall be watching Amazing Race!

mood: *optimistic*

if my mum ever get too see the current state of my skin,

she'll prolly ban me from the sun/beach/Sentosa.

cause despite getting all burnt last weekend,

I still went to Sentosa yesterday.

this time I put a layer of block to my burnt parts,

and a layer of tanning oil (hoping that it would even out the tan).

but it didn't really work, cause the sun was less scorching yesterday.

arrrghhh

i have two different tan lines now

and

am still peeling & feeling itchy now.

i look like i have some skin disease!!sheesssh

even though i seem to complain a lot about this skin problem that I have,

i still have fun yesterday in Sentosa,

allowing the wave to carry me, playing frisbee and blalalablalabala

then we continued in LongJohn

talking lots of silly-billy stuffs.

which lead to D being too scared to let me see his fingers

hahahahhahahaha

---------------------------

today, my eye candy sat beside me in Church

this eye candy is one cute bloke

whom you all might have seen on TV/newsapaper.

He held my hand during the "Our Father"

when nowadays very few people do that

...wooohooo...

besides being cute, i think he's a very nice uncle

cause he was all protective over his nephew

arrghh

good uncle -> good father

right??

but too bad, i prolly won't see him again next week

cause he studies in a very famous school overseas

mood:*silly*

A long day I had today

Started off with 0830 MPW Class.
after class I found out that I am peeling and the funny thing is only on my left shoulder. what's with my left? or is something wrong with my right that it is not as well as the left? as E put aptly last night during prayer meet when I told her that my face is peeling, it is free exfoliating service.

International Econs at 1200.
Sitting in for two presentations is damnnnnn tiring. I was dozing off and the rain outside seems to encourage me to do so. So I went down to get a toast during break. Anndddd let me just say that it would be the last time I buy Kaya Toast from the Killiney in school. It was horrible lah. They just heat up the bread for a few seconds which I don't consider it a toast at all. The bread is so hard and cold. While eating it, I even contemplated on complaining to the real Killiney. Surely, these franchises must follow some standard quality control, right?? Plus the auntie, I suppose is the owner, she was able to scold the guy for being slow when she just stood there. "Hello, why don't you help him out so that it won't be slow?"

1545 I had Pilates.
This is one class that I look forward to every Thursday. I love to go for this class cause it really relaxes my mind. Today the instructor challenged me one step further in order to strengthen my abs and miraculously, I could do it!! Sadly, I only have four more weeks to go :( Today, i just found out that the two instructors are dating. how sweet would it be to work with your other half!!

Lastly, tea-session with the Firm.
I went there with the motive to check out the restaurant. hehhehehe. The Firm always provide nice food anyway. Last year, they catered Olio Dome when they came for campus visit, this time round, they invited us to Capela, so I thought why don't I just drop by? I know deep inside my heart that I would not mind joining them next year, but I do have my reservation as to whether I should stick with that department. I had the chance to speak to some people in a specialised department and they are nice enough to explain to me more about theirs. The more they talked about it, the more I felt that that is where I should try getting in. Halfway through the conversation, we had to leave Capela and continued our little chat in Insomnia. It was another nice and cozy chill-out place. urrghh, another pulling factor, this firm always choose great food and great places!! And so in the end, they (who have worked for years) told me to apply and let them know of the outcome.

mood:*excited*

i had a greatilicious weekend
plus: sunday lunch in Holland V (great Italian restaurant) with Ettoria....
mood:*refreshed*

i like how my life is in proper order right now.

my readings have been going well so far, except for Accounting Theory which would take some time to comprehend and sort out. i think this weekend, i'll try to catch up on it.

my first presentation was okay today. -phew- except for the jitters that I had yesterday.

my experience of being an event organizer was great (thanks, Qh!), seeing the gorgeous gowns that those guests wore made me wonder whether I would ever have the chance to do otherwise.

my encounter with the old birthday boy taught me three lessons: to trust, to be trusted and to be humble. i am beginning to be motivated to do something else in the next few months. shall hush hush for now.

i love how my life is going well. no one can break me.

mood:*bouncy*

You are Yellow Fawn

who tend to be idyllic, not pretentious, and seem to give an impression of a tomboy (really??), and someone who hates to lose. Nevertheless, you are a woman with gentle heart and rather old fashioned ways of thinking. You enjoy having life with atmosphere, and shows consideration and care for others. But you can be very fussy about your preferences. You dislike anything that is dishonest (this is so true!!), and have passion and cuteness. Your weakness is that you can be bit selfish at times. You are honest hard working person. Relationships that you feel safe tend to be restricted, and therefore, you are easily influenced by people and situation around you. You can not easily adapt to changes.You think high of morality. You are easily moved by tears, and are honest and sentimental sort of person. You tend to restrict your self with your cautiousness, and this may result in isolation. You tend to be difficult to get to know (true, true), and will require time to become friend with.Nevertheless, once your character is understood, you will be able to keep a long and steady friendship.If you keep doing favors for those people who always ask you, you may lose your good fortune. So, be careful. You are not a housewife type of person (hmm.. so i guess i can't be a tai-tai), but you can be dependent on your husband.

check out yours!

mood:*happy*

i had a great dinner just now
with my beloved sister
.finally.

just the two of us
food was fantastic at HongKong Cafe

drink - mango pomelo - was thirst quenching

french toast was ohhlalalla

all of you should try it!!

mood:*full*

as this semester i'm taking "childish modules" (as described by pH), i have childish things to do - homework. it sounds damn childish to say that i am doing my homework. i am already in uni, and i am doing homework??!?!? the term just doesn't sound politically right. the last time i used the word was probably in secondary school. in jc we used to call it "tutorials". for the past 3 years in uni, i don't recall having any. and suddenly in my final years, i have "HOMEWORK"?!?

on a separate note, i could finally say i am a tai-tai in the making cause I have finally regained my skill of playing mahjong. last night, when we (yj,wl,s and I) stayed over at c's, we played mahjong the whole night. all right, maybe not the whole night, cause we went for supper at 85. i din win a few rounds!!

my hands are itching right now...i think i need to look for future tai-tai to practice my skills.
