You realised it’s the end of semester when…

You start taking group photos

 

my beloved NM 2201 group mates :)

 

and patting on each other’s backs for doing a good job. And also, the library will be packed before 11am, especially places near the wall plugs and people are looking as if they have kept vigil for Christmas or New Year to arrive.

And another phenomenon is that the usual gang of people studying in the library turned from strangers to friends as you just bumped into them ALL the time. 

And people coming back on Saturday to study in the library.

And the cafeteria is still full during dinner time. 

And people are getting short-tempered. 

Time for some brochure-making! :(

I can’t get no satisfaction.

The feeling of sinking your teeth into a juicy burger (especially burgers from Burger King and Carl’s Junior) is pleasurably guilty. The satisfaction of eating something fattishly good and fulfilling. 

And I have finally rewarded myself a burger after many moments of procrastination and deliberation. 

Ah, it was one of the best meals I ever had. With onion rings and a cup of lite soda. Satisfying.

Anyway, on a side note,

my lecturer asked us today, 

‘oh, have you guys heard of were-pandas’ (cos we’re talking about were-wolves and their influence on the media market)

some of us shaked our heads

‘oh, then let me tell you about it. It is one of the classic jokes around.’

‘anyway, you know werewolves are transformed from a human being when it is full moon period.’

’so were-pandas are people who do not have enough sleep and they walk around like panda.’ (he stuck out 10 fingers and started to imitate how they walk)

‘I saw quite a few of them walking around 2 weeks ago when assignments were due.’

My jaw dropped when I heard it. Seriously. 

Even though I do not really appreciate his jokes, I am going to miss his sense of quirky humor.

November has arrived.

I greeted November along with Boyfriend and some of his secondary friends in this bar filled with people dressed up for halloween. We spotted Audrey Hepburn, chinese zombie, Marilyn Monroe (I still have no idea if it is a he/she), ‘Kiss’ rock band, sailors, a group of guys dressed in blue school pinafore and many many more. 

Anyway, as usual, I love to laugh at my boyfriend whenever I could and I know he absolutely adores the fact that I do that. ;) The funniest thing happened that night was that the waiter actually asked him for his ID. HAHA. He’s like 24 yet I am 20 but he did not ask me for it. This reminded me of the incident when he went to pump petrol in Brisbane on his way to the airport. The cashier at the petrol station asked him if he’s too young to drive when he was like 7 years over the permitted age limit for Australians to drive. LOL. But hey, it is good to have a baby face!

Anyway, I am glad boyfriend got to meet up with his long time friends and I had the opportunity to meet them. I am relieved that I did not go with my instinct and went ahead with him to meet them. I might sound anti-social but I do have my own reasons about my reservations of meeting his friends.

woozy red boyfriend

We reached home at around 3 plus am and lazy sunday again! (:

Last week, it was my brother’s 15th birthday and we decided to eat out as a whole family along with rodney and anthony. 

the birthday boy!

everyone of us! <3

<3 you!

I can’t wait to embrace my new found freedom in less than 4 weeks times! (:

you know its marketing when this happens.

we're the nerds!

colorful bits of love and warmth (:

All these are the proofs of how much I love my last year in college. (: Awesome company to study, eat and play with. They are people whom I will approach when I need some laughter and fun in my dull and boring time in school. :)

Anyway, all assignments down for the week!

Next week’s list:

- NM 2201 report

- NM 2201 presentation

- NM 3219 brochure

And for now, let me enjoy my well-deserved weekend break and oh happy halloween, people!

oh, my happy times.

I want more of such happy times.

Lazy sundays and weekdays’ breakfast sessions.

And this is the first time I am dreading Christmas as this means we only have 2 more months before you fly back to Oz. 

:(

And we have yet to eat our Churros too. 

Then again, 

school’s a killer;

a PR crisis management plan by Friday

Marketing Individual Assignment due this Thursday

Marketing Toy ‘R’ Us presentation this Thursday.

D:

’so how’s holiday so far?’

Can you imagine the horror on my face when I heard this in the late afternoon?

I was in the lift with this neighbour of mine and I do not usually talk to my neighbour but apparently he was one of my dad’s friends. So hence, it explained for this horrifying conversation we had in the lift within mere minutes of it elevating to my floor.

Here it goes:

I addressed him when both of us stepped into the lift.

Man: Oh hi. (smiles)

Me: (smiles back politely)

M: So having your holidays now right? How was it?

Me: Pardon? Holiday?

M: Yeah, secondary schools are having their exam break or something right? My daughter does not need to attend school this week.

Me: Um, but I am studying in NUS now.

M: (looking startled) Oh, so in your first year?

Me: Um, no, I am in my final year, graduating next year.

Thank god, my lift reached my floor. 

It was one of the agonizing lift trip I had ever taken. 

No doubt about that.

And do I look that young? 

I just turned TWENTY.

Sighs.

so it didn’t last.

I totally gave up on my maple syrup diet after ONE day. I am such a loser in trying out such diets but as boyfriend said ‘you are too lazy to squeeze those lemons but other than that, you will be doing the diet now.’ 

HAHA.

I have to agree with that. I was too lazy to squeeze the lemons, it is not easy to squeeze like 5 lemons and get like 10 ml of the juices. 

Anyway, I am happy today despite having to wake up at 6 am in the morning and bunk in the library for 2 hours because I was greeted with an empty 5th level of the library (which is extremely rare cos the library will be filled by 10 am) and I have my old, scruffy, comfy, oversized and worn out grey sweater on me. (:

I miss those days whereby we can just throw on my checkered red skirt, black stocking and my grey sweater over the white blouse.

my fad diet.

I am going to try out the maple syrup diet which consists of just lemon juice, water, maple syrup and some cayenne pepper. Due to the fact that I can’t bring myself to put those red powder into my drink, I decided to just drink the concoction without it. Also, I know I need to have proteins and I will die without it, I decided to add some boiled chicken breasts and vegetable for dinner. I have no idea how long I can sustain on this diet so I just want to try it out until my body signals me to stop. Probably before my parents get back from their overseas trip because they will probably kill me for eating so dangerously.

I shall see if I will lose those unwanted pounds that I have gained in Australia, yes, its still there. 

I shall update my situation from time to time. (:

my meal for the day.

I can’t wait for dinner, my tummy’s growling like mad at this ungodly time of 945am.

sweet 20th birthday.

It started with a bang or more like a pop and ended with a snap with my new gadget. (:

Thank you all for the special day.

Pictures and updates soon! :)

I love you guys, and yes you too, my dearest boyfriend. <3

whirlpool of emotions.

It is strange how your hormones can affect your emotions, thwart your ability to think properly and insert all sorts of possible scenarios and scenes from the past, present and future. 

We have to learn to let go.

Like literally let go.

No point of harping on something that contributes to your history and instead allowing it to ruin your present and future.

Stop it, will you?
