friggggin finished my presentation today. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW SCARY THAT WAS!! but it was fine la, thankfully.. bcuz i friggin stayed up til 5am to rehearse my part, and subsequently woke up 2 hrs later to go to sch. i seriously cant rem when my last presentation was.. hmm. i was yr 1 i think? goodness. so imagine me with 1) thumping heart + 2) uncontrollable mouth sprouting away + 3)anxiety.. and halfway thru my speech, i stopped, turned around (back facing the class), breathe 3 big gulps of air, turned back, and continued. HAHA. super paiseh. but lucky they found it funny too la, so it was all ok.. i think. =p
ANW, i finally parted with my long hair. to those who hav not seen me in awhile, my hair was til this long...
n this is my new hair length now..
short short.. but i like! its easier to maintain la..
somehow this pic reminds me of my dad... damnnit. i look like a XY now. damnit.

then its exams already. dammnit. one sem seem to pass by damn fast once again. =p but still im glad that despite having so much to do, i was able to meet up with friends i've always wanted to see *slacker me* heh the last time i saw zd, was to celebrate yan's bday in may. damn long OK. but meeting once in awhile is better than none at all. zd said he will buy me a toaster if i dont him my bday wish list soon. hahah goodness. of all things, a toaster? hee
met up with eli also. i've not seen her since... i dunnoe when! plus we've been talking about meeting up since awhile back but things always crop up last min for the both of us. im happie to jus be able to meet up and talk.. updating how life is for the both of us. i still care alot for this dear old fren back from dunearn (and emily too! haha)
planning a makan with jack n lucy soon. quite hard to co-ordinate a makan session with them ah, since all of us busy with lab n work, esp jack, who is also busy with important stuff hor. ganbatte! we are behind you. heh
gonna be back to books after this long post. argh. they suck.

time to change my msn and its skin.. so here it is, my new layout.
finally! i feel relieved.. cuz the 4212 test was over today. had really bad cramps this morning, n i almost almost almost didnt make it down. the usual 10x5 T/F qns. i dunnoe wad to make of it, cuz never ever under-estimate negative marking. haha. SO, that aside, i feel like a free bird! this month's 23rd marks the first one he's spending it there. only 11 more (or less) to go! =) for our anniv, i made him a photo collage, and we both use it as our wallpaper now. n im jus glad he likes it..

time flies. its already 2 weeks since boo flew off to the land of yummy meatballs. =p hmm, strange. as i vaguely rem mentioning the "ohh its 1 week already" to him not-that-long-ago. for a change, as opposed to when he's still around, i've been faithfully attending classes n going lab. heyhey. not that im glad he's away now (and hence cant distract me), but rather, things hav started to settle down and im finally back to studying.
nowadays, he would call me EITHER ard 2pm (spore time) jus before he goes off to work/sch, OR 3/4am after he returns back to his room. super farnie timings. im glad we can rely on a range of communication methods, rather than jus the net. but still.. nothing beats seeing and hearing him real life.
went for the briefing for the summer prog @ uni of new south wales. a 5 wk stay would cost around 4.3k. (not including shopping!) so imagine the damage?! it would have been a good experience i guess, an aust wildlife bio module being the main attraction.. but since i've been on a similar fieldtrip to perth before, and it covered the flora and fauna of aust as well... think its not worth the 4.3+k. i rather save up the monnies for sweden. =)
n i shall piah my hyp in dec! that aside, im so stuck onto cable these days. my fav channel being 55! my night routine is to watch 4hrs of show before i feel satisfied. but satisfied = sleepy = no chance to do my work = start of a new day = the whole point of this entry = time flies.

among my 3 level 4 core modules that im taking this sem, i think i enjoy the marine bio class the most. the class is small, the prof is funny and that makes the class more fun. but it sure is long - 4 hours once a wk. but i have a feeling.. not easy to score. sobsob. there are all kinds of people in there (not a bad thing. but not entirely good either) SO, i shall jus concentrate on what i need to do, and not how well other people are doing.
its times like this, that i wish boo is here to hear me rant. and at the end of it all, tell me, "you can do it too." these words give me the confidence and strength to tackle my problems head on.
