in the afternoon i tot of soo many things to write about..but now here i am...and i've forgotten most of wat i tot of.. crap man.. sign of ageing?? =(

anyway it's gonna be feb very very soon.. which means the 1st month of this year has come n gone.. wat have i achieved in this new year so far? well.. i did spend quite a bit on my new year clothes... 3 weeks of the semester has gone.. 10 more weeks to go and hey.. b4 u know it.. i would have graduated from nus already!

last wed i saw this advert on the straits times.. university of chicago offering a masters course in financial mathematics.. exactly fits into my "further studies" category.. something which is somewhat related to wat i have studied in uni.. a masters degree.. finance.. yea that's all i want~ so immediately i emailed the person n now i feel a little sian-ed by the application process.. have to take 2 tests that is rather similar to the SAT test which i sat for many years ago.. need 3 letters of recommendation from my math profs.. so far i've got 2 who have agreed to help me write.. and i think that is quite an achievement since they dun really know me at all.. i really do appreciate their help~

lots of assignments due next week.. 3215, 3111 and my gem assignment all due on mon n tues.. then wed is the GRE test i was talking about.. the 1 that is similar to SAT.. can u imagine that the test is 4 hours long! there r 2 sections on which we have to write essay la.. oh man.. not sure how i'm gonna fare for that section.. been soo long since i wrote an essay within a give time limit... =( and fri is my gem test.. next week is gonna be hell for me..

so anyway.. i guess i wont be working immediately after i grad.. afterall the masters course is just 1 year.. and hmm not going for honours could be a good thing? this i will have to wait n see~ so that is wat that has been keeping me bz for the past few days n many more days to come.. to prepare for the tests as well as to finish up my application coz it is due like on 15 feb.. so gotta chop chop finish things up~ then after that at least i can enjoy my chinese new year for a while.. b4 it's back to sch n midterm tests looms ahead~ doesnt look like i'll have a good break until after the exams.. but oh well.. it's always good to be kept bz... at least the mind doesnt start to wander n wont think of unnecessary stuff yup~

recently i'm kinda into this iphone/ipod touch game called doodle jump.. haha it's a paid app btw.. it's really addictive.. all thankz to kw la.. now some friends around me also addicted to the game..

i did some research on the web and saw on a few sites that said that potatoes r a good natural source for curing acne..not sure how true that is.. some say cut it up n apply directly to the acne.. some say blend it into juice n apply... and others advise u to eat more potatoes coz they r high in nutrients/vitamins etc.. very tempted to give it a shot to see if it works.. but my mama got me to a chinese sinseh at marine parade.. he looked at my condition.. took my pulse.. n prescribed 1 ultra bitter medicine which he said is very cooling.. will get rid of the heatiness in my body n treat the acne.. we shall see.....

we're getting closer to cny and yea i'm almost done with my new year shopping except for a pair of shoes... ahhh.. the problem with small feet... no size for your feet~...very limited designs.. sighs
other than that i will have to say that last wed.. my newyear shopping was pretty fruitful.. with 4 tops.. 1 jeans and 1 berms =)

i cant imagine myself working in a few month's time.. it feels too soon.. but yet i m very eager to go out n work.. to get the experience needed from the working world.. to meet more people and of coz to learn new skills while on the job.. many of these cant be bought with $ so i'm pretty much looking forward to working full time

school so far is alrite.. i mean i could understand MOST of my mods... hmm

i believe that things happen for a reason... and if u keep trying, but to no avail.. well i believe that it's a sign.. to tell u that it is never going to work out.. so perhaps it could be time to drop the idea totally n live life for yourself..

for instance.. if 1 person keeps buying 4D everyday and never strikes... i believe it is a sign to tell u to stop gambling.. n focus on more impt stuff in your life.. dun tell yourself that luck isnt on your side... coz i believe there is no such thing as luck.. things turn out the way they are becoz of us.. our every decision n action plays a part and ultimately results in wat we are today

so for me.. well.. 一个人就好

it's back to sch and i know i'm a little slow coz week 1 of sch has already ended lol!

i gotta feeling~~~~~~ that this sem's gonna be a good sem~~ that this sem's gonna be a good good semmm~

lol anyway.. i only have 2 core mods this sem.. plus 1 stats mod.. and 2 electives~ of the 2 electives... 1 of them i plan to s/u it and the other is a very mathsy biz mod that many of my friends say is worth taking.. so we shall see how it goes!! wooo

this sem's timetable isnt the best i've had.. with 2 days that i have 8am lectures.. the remaining days r 10am... which means not enough sleep here so i better still have my free wed after tut balloting is over~ =) school so far is still manageable...at least i still understand wat the lecturers r talking about during lectures yea so it is a very good sign.. oh yea i have a lot of breaks in between my lectures... can u imagine between every lecture on mon and thurs is a 2 hour break.. and for tues and fri... it is a 4 hour break! oh mann... wat can i do to pass time?

anyway on wed had sakae buffet with uni friends~ turnout: 7 ppl... and for once! there were more guys! wahaaha.. just a fun fact la.. =X the sushi was alrite.. only 1 particular dish that we ordered was a massive turnoff.. it's supposed to be i dunnoe what but when i ate it.. it was cold... cold as in the kind of cold when u take food out of the fridge that kind of cold.. and the fish is cooked! and it tasted err..sour? eeewwwww... 1 bite n we never touched it again~

fri = frog porridge n rochor tau huayyyy~~ =) tau huay is my all time fav dessert if nobody realised.. haha so while the rest were chatting away.. munching on their youtiao n soy bean milk.. i was happily enjoying my tau huay haha smooth silky tau huay~ ahha =X

sat is sarpino's with deloitte friends~ or at least some of the deloitte friends... coz apparently some1 only asked the few of us... hahaha but yea..sarpino's pizza is goood =) had a good chit chat after that n then it was soccer time for mee~ but recently felt really sian of watching soccer matches lei.. how ar.. it's the thing that i look forward to every weekend and now i dun feel excited about watching a soccer match at all =/

1 interesting thing about this year is the day that every1 is talking about... vday~ coz this year the 1st day of cny happens to be on the 14th of feb.. St. Valentine's Day.. haha good thing for me is that for once~ i might not be left out coz i'll be at my relative's place and wont be out there to witness all the lovey dovey, chocs n roses, hugs n kisses etc.. and i'll probably be bz collecting angbaos that i would forgotten about vday haha! but then again.. vday is friendship day tooo.. but yea it does feel weird having 2 big (contrasting) occasions on the same day

hello everybody! it's 2010!

well in the last few days leading up to 2010.. i was really left pondering.. wat will happen to me in this new year..graduation.. joining the work force.. really made me feel rather insecure.. also my 1st trip overseas with friends

anyway! 31 dec was countdown with deloitte friends! a pretty small gathering as compared to previous years.. this time round there's just the 7 of us.. but yea was good enough.. still had lots of fun n laughter all the time~ dinner was astons and very good..prob coz some of us were really hungry by then haha after that we played games.. watched the ultra long fireworks.. and i must say the fireworks this time was rather impressive! the view from the hotel room was great and so was the wine =) we all toasted for the new year! and after that was more games n of coz a few hours of slp to end it all.. haha! this is our 3rd countdown together already and i really hope it wont be the last.. more to come yea? =)

then on the 2nd of jan.. guess wat! it's genting time with uni friends! 9.30pm was the departure time for the coach and thruout the journey didnt really sleep much..but i guess so did the rest.. haha! only towards the end when we were twirling around... climbing up the mountain to our final destination, genting, did i get some well deserved sleep.. though i think not for long.. coz a while later.. we reached the bus terminal already and yea it was 4am in the morningggg... then we had breakfast at macs.. nua-ed at the hotel lobby.. waited to check in... until around 11 or 12+ then did we get our room.. woo wanted to nap for a while but then came yewwei and xuanang.. then it was off to lunch and after that we went walking around... played arcade.. went to sing ktv and dinner was included too.. after that it was pool!

2nd day was theme park day n it was very foggy that day... especially towards the afternoon due to the rain.. great weather! very cold but haha woo and i must say that the helmet that i wore for the go-kart there was smelly beyond words!!!! seriously.. if u can.. bring your own helmet for that ride...

day 3 and it's KL day~ hopped onto the bus that goes back n forth between genting n KL.. the driver is crazy.. just looking at the way he drives is really scary.. anyway at KL.. they all shopped n shopped while i just cant find anything good/nice to buy.. well some of the stuff r really cheap but i really cant find anything :( looks like i gotta do my new year shopping in sg~

day 4 - back to sg... basically every1 did some last minute shopping here n there n we were on the bus home at 2pm =) slept almost thruout the bus ride... was so tired that i fell asleep while watching a horror show la.. cant believe it haha! =X reached sembawang sunplaza at around 8+ and that marks the end of my genting trip with my uni friends =)

all i can say is that the hotel room is really freakin small! no wonder so cheap la.. the bathroom rite.. u can barely turnaround at all la.. and haha oh yea i love the breakfast there.. it's like buffet style but i only aim for the cereals =X i will go for some cooked food 1st.. then toast..and to end off... always leave the best for the last and yeaa cereal~ hahaha my parents dun understand me.. wat is so nice about cereals.. haha i dun understand too.. but i just love it =X

anyway yea it's back to sg.. and very very soon.. it's back to sch.. but hey.. i'm not sad cozzz.. it's gonna be my final sem! gonna graduate at the end of this semester so i'll aim to make it a good one.. after graduation.. it's on to the working world n my target is of coz to earn enough $ to support my parents and bring them on overseas trips.. to give my gf (if i ever successfully woo one) a good life, not to let her suffer and if possible..support her parents in a way or another~ lastly.. to give myself a good life too haha =) cheers to 2010!!!
