Luxury

It is a luxury to be able to blog at such unearthly hours. After 2+ months of torture, I am finally done with all the projects. Thanks to all my able group mates for the different projects, there wasn't any major hiccups that we could not solve. Thank you people! Now that this is over, I would have to start preparing for the exams. Honestly, I am looking forward to it. I think it is much better than rushing projects, at least you have a little bit more freedom and more time to smell the flowers. Looking forward to a trip after the exams. Going to some place foreign and being able to take in all the sights and sounds without having to bother about school work or stuff like that. A temporary escape from the academic stuff that drives me crazy at times. For now, I shall take a break from blogging and concentrate on completing my readings and revision. Hopefully I will have more interesting things to talk about then. BTW, good luck Chitra and YY..... All the best... =)

Hail to the unglam queen

I am officially crowned the UNglam Queen. I realise that too. Don't know why, but I feel that I am so messy these days. Hair all over my face. I was so embarrassed when I met my hairdresser yesterday... Thankfully she didn't say anything... Terrible terrible me. Hail to the unglam queen...

Surprises

Some surprises are good and others, bad. Today we had a pop quiz in my communication history and theories class. The worst thing is I have not done the readings for the week. Bad surprise. I 'tigam' my way through the quiz. And when Dr. D went through the answers, I am surprised that I managed to answer most of the questions correctly. Good surprise. Today was a pretty good day in school anyway. Instead of the usual broadcast journalism class filled with videos of news clips, we had a 'live' (read: huge cameras, bright lights and autocue) forum with the NTU Student's Union. It was quite fun, reminding me of one of those forums with the ministers that was aired on CNA some time ago. Fliming for BJ was quite funny today. We were getting some shots in the school library and captured some of the muggers' attention. I even heard a guy asking another: "Ta men shi zhuo shen me de?" (What are they doing?) "Mass comm de" (Mass comm students la) "NTU you mass comm?" (You mean there is a mass comm course in NTU?) "Han la..." (Yes, or literally where-have-you-been-you-moron? =P) Funny huh. They do not look like first year students to me. To think that our presence in the school is not felt. Hello?! Where do you think you get your Chronicle from? Nanyang Spectrum? Are we marginalised? Just because our school is so far away from the main academic spines? School has been crazy really. Assignments and assignments. I have not set time for revision just as yet. Terrible I know, but for now, I just want to 'relac one corner la'. I have no discipline to study now, not until my assignments are all done. But I think that is too late. =(

Birthday 05

I am finally 21.... Thank you dear friends for organising such a great party! I had real fun and not to mentioned some degree of confusion! The view from Al Dente was fantastic, the delicious food, and lovely friends surrounding me... At that moment, I couldn't help but felt truly lucky and loved =P. I would say that the night out was definitely a good break from all the school work piling up... Actually the morning started out wrong... Haha.. I kept bumping into things and felt very blur. Not to mention the very 'thrilling' chinese media writing session in the morning kept me on my toes and the computer hanging when my group was working in the broadcast journalism clip... Crap, but somehow these incidents did nothing to spoil my day. A green crumpler bag to my name.. Thanks to Becky, Chang, Chitra, Derrick, Gra, Joo, Sharon and Phie... Muacks! Need to thank my dear mummy for planning my celebrations at home. She prepared everything from ordering the cake down to chopping chicken bones to boil the soup for the steamboat. Love ya Mum! Dear ah lian and ding bought me a set of lingerie.. Green too. Thanks to Serene for her Chomel necklace too. Slyvia and mei for the mickey mouse shirt... Ah huiz, dun need to say la. =P Also wanna thank all the people who messaged me. Thanks for remembering. But I am slightly disappointed. No message from a particular person but I am not going to let that bother me. Just wondering if it is really that easy to forget a person. Getting older means getting wiser? Not true for me, I think I am still that restless kid that has too much energy. 'Doesn't act my age' as many people have said... Just cannot believe the fact that if I follow a normal person's route, I'll be married in 6-7 years time. Scary. Let me be forever 21...
