So its the last Semester of my final year in DOPT. Time really really flies. It felt like my first yday of school was just last month. Back then I told myself I still had 3 years to slowly think about what I wanna do after I graduate. I had a long time to plan my path but now I realised I have less then 6 months to do so. Should I apply for scholarship and go overseas to further my studies and get a Degree or should I apply a job to work in a hospital or eye clinic with Sandhiya (or go solo)? I really don't know. All I can say is "I don't know..." Time to start thinking...
Ok studies aside, I feel I'm starting to put more effort in my appearance nowadays. I started curling my long hair, filling my eyebrows, applying some BB cream and buying nicer, more feminine clothes. Not a bad thing tho, coz my mum is happy I'm finally behaving more like a lady lmao.
I've attended Melissa's NP Dance Recital recently #d3contemporarydance #gunsandroses I must say i was quite impressed with the performance. "Watching TV" has to be my favourite act of the whole performance. Attending these performances makes me wanna go back to dancing again. This coming Thursday would be Jinfang's dance recital, as well as Gladys and Clarissa's SP CO and SP Strings performance respectively. I decided to buy a ticket and support my friends despite having clinic the next day (for all the performances). Oh well, I know the tickets would be worth it. Furthermore it'll be their last performance and I don't wanna let this opportunity slip by.
So many things happened recently and I must say I'm glad most of them are happy events. I had a date with Eugenia after school yesterday. We went to Westgate and JEM for shopping and high tea. She's my shopping buddy man, she is the only friend in my whole life whom I can shop comfortably with. Not saying the rest of my friends arent good or what, but I feel the most at ease with her. I don't usually open my wallet and buy clothes with my friends but she's the first one to make me wanna choose and try on and ask for her opinion about the clothes. The best thing is, she feels the same way too!
Both of our spirits were kinda low in the morning and we dunno why. Its just a sudden wave of sadness and you can't explain why you feel that way. Is that telepathy? Not to mention a few lecturers thought we look alike ^^
After shopping at ard 4:30pm we decided to have some high tea at Delifrance. We shared the 2 baguettes (Tuna mushroom and Spicy Chicken Delight). Bought a sandwich and chocolate rolls from Four Leaves before heading home. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HALLOWEEN THO HHAHAHA

Its finally April. The long-awaited month! There are so many birthdays in this month!
Prayed ancestors yesterday and TF onnie arrived after her work. Mum asked why was her alarm on in her phone. Its set at 2:15pm. Onnie said its the time to go out with Luhan. Grandma called mum's hp after a while and onnie said "Luhan's calling." I told her its not my phone and she said "Its Xiumin then."
LOL

As promised, I've decided to write about Thursday.
I was supposed to have my Biostats retest on Wednesday morning, 9am. But my lecturer contacted me on Tuesday evening, telling me she had a sudden meeting in the morning so I would need to change the timing of the test. I was given 2 choices; have the test in the afternoon on the same day or postpone it to the following day, 9am. I wasn't really prepared for the test so, of course I chose the latter. I told my parents about it and my dad offered to give me a ride to school on Thursday then.
Thursday:
That was the day. I was finally sitting for my test when my peers have done so a week ago. My whole family woke up early. Mum prepared breakfast and dad and I left home before 8am. The traffic was surprisingly heavy. There wasn't any accident or jam but the flow was pretty slow. It took us about an hour to reach my campus. I wasn't really nervous about it (given its a test I'm sitting). Maybe its because its a 1 to 1 thing, there wasn't a whole 80 people waiting for me kind of scenario. I was thinking if I should text my lecturer that I may be slightly late because of the heavy traffic. So I whipped out my phone and saw a text from her instead. She was already in the classroom (she changed venue). So I went on to tell her and she didn't reply until I stepped foot in T11Square. How cool is it to have your dad drive you into the campus compound, and you just get out of the car like a boss. Ok sorry.
I wasn't 100% well yet so I got really tired after walking or carrying my heavy bag with a laptop after a while. It was already past 9am so I had to kinda rush to the venue although my lecturer was very nice to wait patiently. I was actually a little breathless, I felt so weak and old omg. It was on the 3rd storey and I was so damn thankful it wasn't any storey higher. I walked the back door, thinking it was the front, saw my teacher on her phone, decided to use the front door, so I walked back and opened the door. Ms Quek looked up and greeted me. I sat in the front row since my paper was already there. She said she would invigilate from the back because I would be using software in my laptop during the test so she had to make sure I wasn't doing anything funny like FBing or tweeting or googling for answers.
I quickly set up my laptop, plugged in the mouse and charger, took out my cheat sheet, statistical table, pencil case and calculator. I handed my MC to her too. I then wore my maroon cardigan and spectacles and waited for her instructions. Ms Quek came over and told me I had 10 mins reading time, no writing. So I flipped to the first page and read the questions. I wasn't really settled down tbh. My heart was still beating a little fast and my mind was a little blank. A lady came in and discussed something with Ms Quek and I kinda got distracted because I always have the tendency to lose concentration in reading when someone is talking. I would listen to the convo (even when I'm trying hard to focus). I tried not to get that into me because 10 mins of reading time was really precious!
Once the time was up, I had 1h40mins to complete the whole paper. Ms Quek was nice to say she wouldn't mind to overshot the timing by a little. There was once I totally blanked out and just started at the paper and Ms Quek came over and asked if anything was wrong. LOL. Finished the paper in 1h10mins, had 30 mins of checking time. I was afraid to check my answer because I was afraid I would spot a careless mistake and had to redo the question all over again lol. Thank goodness it was fine. When Ms Quek announced 15 more mins to 5 more minutes, my heart have a tiny leap. I was so excited for it to end!!
The test was finally over, she collected my paper. I sighed in relief that I've officially completed this module. I began to pack my stuffs and bade Ms Quek a goodbye while carrying my bag.
She said "Goodbye, take care!"
Me: Bye bye!
Ms Quek: Do you still have any more exams?
Me: Yeah! 1 more next Wednesday. And actually I still have a retest of another module but my teacher hasn't got back to me.
Ms Quek asked why and I said my lecturer told me she was still checking the procedures. She then gave a puzzled expression and asked what was the weightage. I said I wasn't very sure. She then smiled and said it would be alright and said bye and wished me to take care. I said bye for the last time and exited the room.
Yay! I was free!! So I walked down to the toilet. Then decided to arrange my bags and take out my earpiece. So I did that and slowly walked to the mrt. I was supposed to meet my girls at Bugis for lunch and shopping but my mum didn't allow. She wanted me to rest. I was thankful my mum did that actually. Because after all the rushing in the morning with the heavy bag, I knew I wasn't fit enough to travel and shop. I needed to rest. The girls offered to carry my laptop but I can't possibly let them carry it for me the whole day. It wouldn't be nice too. So I took the train home to meet my mum at Admiralty for lunch (its at my neighbourhood).
I love to be alone sometimes. You can be yourself. When you're with your friends, you tend to ignore the surroundings. When you're alone, you'll notice how pretty the pink and red flowers look in the flower beds. How the wind gently caress your cheeks (and make my hair fly all over the place too) and how the morning sun lit up the earth. Its beautiful and peaceful. I walked down the high stairways and pass a whole lot of students who were mugging for their exams, which I assume to be on that day. They were studying and I was going home. How great XD
Received a text from my lecturer about the retest and told me there would be no retest for me (its a rule). Since I've submitted my MC, my marks for this Test 2 would be moderated according to how I have been performing for the module. I was so happy! Because:
1. I do not need to study for it anymore and can still pass this module
2. My marks would be an A because my previous 2 practical exams were an A + I was the top scorer for Test 1
Oh what a day to celebrate!! Plus my long menses seemed to have really stopped that day.
At Admiralty, my mum was already waiting. We went to the foodcourt to have lunch. I have Japanese food. We then walked to the gift shop and my mum bought me a cute bag. And then we went Guardian and she got me a cherry lipbalm and Ribena. Then I accompanied her to buy veggies and we went home. The salespersons were all so nice that day!
Relaxed a while at home and decided to take a 2hrs nap to replenish my energy. Woke up at 4:30pm, used Twitter, oh Eunice pretended to be Luhan and teased me on askfm lol.
The day ended great and I was so happy. Till then, xoxo!~

Know your limits
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Hey guys, whoa it has been really hectic the past 1 - 2 month. We had tests, exams, practical exams and group projects to juggle. Before the start of it I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I dreaded it. I had a hunch it wouldn't be that smooth-sailing.
True enough, we received news of being transferred to a whole new class with new classmates on a Thursday evening. It hit me really hard. I knew this day would happen but I brushed it aside previously. Then our lecturer hit us with this news, everyone was depressed. Not because of the new classmates we'll be working with nor a new fresh (final) year, but its the sudden sense of loss. My clique C.M.W.S.J would be separated. Only Jocelyn would be with me in 3B22. I'm guilty for saying this but Jocelyn is not as close to me as the other 4 girls. Its more of a
hey-you're-here-come-join-us-for-lunch-then relationship. I feel bad, because she treats me well but our personality don't really click sometimes. Her interests are different from the rest of us. I'll take it as fate, let next year be the year for me to know her more.
After the emotional rollercoaster ride, there came the stress. We had, let me count, 7 to 8 tests/practical exams in 2 weeks. I was really stressed out on it and had fallen ill. I was admitted to the hospital and luckily, the doctor let me discharge the next day.
I won't write what happened in detail but I want to thank the nurses, doctors and the blood donor of the packet of blood. Thank you ^^ While lying on the hospital bed that very night, it reminded me of a Luhan fic. A fanfic "Flower of Despair". It was about him, a leukaemia guy who met a girl, who suffered from a loss of touch of her right hand. Lying on the bed with the blood transfusion done, it really reminded me of that fanfic.
I missed 2 class tests (final paper) and had a retest of Biostats this morning. I'm so lazy now I shall further elaborate on it in my next post. Till then, xoxo~

新年快乐！！Happy
Lunar New Year everyone! Its the Year of the Horse in 2014. Wish everyone to be
happy, healthy and safe in this year alright! <3 o:p="">
This post shall be about the past 3 days
of the new year.
On 31st January, my clique and I had initially planned
to attend a non-compulsory 1hr lesson at 9am (since there was biostats later at
10). I made a remark the day before on our way home, saying “It should be fine
if we’re a little late right? I mean attendance is optional.” Jocelyn was like “So
if we’re 30mins late it’ll be ok?”
Nope I meant maybe 5-10mins late. But who knows, I was really late
that morning. By 30mins lmao. Why so coincident??!! My mu overslept and woke me
up at 8:30. I jumped out of my bed, had a few bites of bread and sipped some
milo before heading out.
There were a bunch of WRSS students outside my doorstep when I
opened the door. They were here to distribute mandarin oranges for the New
Year. It’s a tradition in our school to give our oranges to residents nearby
the school during CNY. I was in a rush so I didn’t even greet the students. My
mum told me she told them I studied in the same school as them and a girl was
so excited she shouted “Hey! That’s our senior!!!” to the rest. HAHA aww
So
yup, when I reached the class I was around 30 mins late. And I’ve been
unintentionally late for class for my OCS teacher-in-charge for 3 times. Such a
nice timing zzzzzzzz. I bet I’ve given her a bad impression about my time
management. It just had to happen before she selected the 25 students for OCS.
That
aside, biostats was a fruitful lesson. Then I took the train home with Clarissa,
Jasmine and Wanzhen. Took the circle line because my parents were fetching me
at Yio Chu Kang mrt station instead. I’ve already collected 3 angpaos even
before 31 Jan lol.
Chinese New Year Day 1: Went to uncle’s house. 4
families arrived at the same time without any planning at all lol. Coincidences.
Then we went for animal liberation and house visiting.
Chinese New Year Day 2: Had vegetarian lunch
outside. Then we went to popo’s house before heading to the temple. After wards
we visited my youngest uncle’s house. When I was at their doorstep I heard
Growl playing in the living room. The China Variety Show was on. I thought I
would have to give it a miss because I was outside the whole day. Who knows I
still managed to catch it on tv hehehehe. Went in the house, greeted Happy CNY,
shook hands, received more angpaos, had goodies and food and my Shen Shen was
like: 来的刚刚好。虽然错过第一首歌可是还有着首。 来坐坐坐！And she pulled the piano seat out for me.
Seems like my cousin told her I like EXO lmao. Luhan’s solo part was playing
when I sat down woohoo. After Growl, SJM performed 2 songs and Shen Shen asked
about SJM and EXOM. All of us sat down to watch the show.
Next was
introduction time and Shen Shen asked which was the member onnie liked the most
when almost half the members have spoken. I replied: 还没。
And she was
like: 哦，还没。好那我仔细看。
And suddenly
Ryeowook’s face was there and I was like: 这个这个！！
And then Shen
Shen was like: Har, 这个这么娘娘腔你也喜欢啊？(Please don’t get offended, she meant he
looked so feminine) 不男不女的你喜欢啊？(Again, my aunty was just joking ^^)
After all SJM
members have introduced themselves it was EXOM’s turn. This time my cousin was
like: Now’s your turn.
Shen Shen: 下一个就是你了，敏静。你跑不掉的~
At
that moment I had a feeling Luhan did something weird for his intro (I watched
that cut before so I had some impression of it)
Onnie: 她 （喜欢的成员）的也是很像女孩子。
Shen Shen: 到你了到你了。让我看看哪一个最女孩子。
Me: Oh shit oh shit oh shit. Luhan is even more girly (in terms of looks) than Ryeowook. Oh shit.
Shen Shen:是这一个吗？*Kris was the 1st to speak and
she thought he’s my bias because of his manga looks)
Onnie and I：不是不是~
Luhan was the 3rd
to speak and when his face was on screen, my cousin told Shen Shen and we
stopped talking to listen to his intro.
Luhan: 大家好，我是鹿晗！~ *bows and did the EXO showtime slogan
pose)
Wahhhhh at that
moment all 4 of us (Shen Shen’s daughter was there too) burst out laughing.
DAMN IT LUHAN YOU HAD TO DO THAT POSE ON STAGE. WHUT.
I thought: You embarrassed
me, Luhan. *mental face-palm*
Shen Shen: 哦鹿晗啊，鹿晗。鹿晗是吗？
I let my cousin
answer her question. I always get embarrassed and shy whenever other people
know about my bias, idky.
After
that some of us went down to play table tennis. I have not touched the ball or
racquet since I was in primary school and honestly idk how to play it at all.
Today was the 3rd time I played. But my dad said my skills weren’t
too bad. Plus some hit were actually quite good. Yay a pat on my back please
hehehe. One uncle was video-recording our game lmao. It was so unglam plus its
like amateur standard (except for my dad and his siblings)
We
were playing the game halfway when my mum and aunty and cousin came down. I
changed back into my wedges and purple socks and returned the slippers to my
uncle, who decided to play badminton and Frisbee with his daughter. Went to tf
onnie’s house, then uncle’s house for dinner, 5th uncle’s house (watched
a little of Man from the stars) then they came over to my house.
