Few miles away

It has never been more true that ever to realise it is our upbringing that plays heavily in moulding our personality. Impression about someone you just met could be a matter of few seconds, but what goes beyond the surface is the past which shapes them who they are today. This afternoon, I was in school revising for my upcoming examination and there was this girl who sat in front of me who were rather inconsiderate. Yea, it doesn’t take long to form a bad impression of her and figuring out that she might be  a spoilt brat doesn’t take long enough to realise.

Later during the afternoon, I ate lunch with a person called “Ms Angry.” I’ve given her this name simply because she seemed angry most of the time and talked angrily occassionally. Later then she revealed about her family background to me that she grew up in a patriarchy family. So she is always discriminated for that reason and that explains why she is always angry, because she lives in an unfair world.

So it goes to say, do not look at things on the surface and be unsympathetic to strange people. They grew up in just total opposite world of you to become who they are today.

Okay, it has been decided that I shall visit the extremely cold Taipei during my february term break! YUPPIE CLAP CLAP! Suddenly it seems possible for me to roam all over the globe. I love travelling, who doesn’t anyway right? But one thing about the upcoming trip is that we gonna give X-Japan’s concert a miss Sob! Just when I thought my sole reason for attending X-Japan’s concert was to accompany him, but it turned out that I pretty much wanted to attend myself too! No, it is too much of a time clash. X-Japan’s concert would be held during my week 5, which is a pretty packed week of the semester coz the week after is mid-term break!

Seriously, I don’t really know what to expect in Taipei this time round except for going “Ahhh~~Kimouchi neee~~” during my soak in the ultra cool hotspring and the cold whether. This time round it is going to be very budget with little spending power. I mean its really fortunate to be there already. I most look forward to the extreme 15.7 degree temperature.

How I wish I could continue bloggin but my exam preparation is haunting me :S Till then and I must say I am a fortunate girl living in a less than average family.

Yea, i am still surviving and completing with you for oxygen damn it! Haha. I have been quite an asshole today, which must be caused by the stress in school. Well to set the record straight, I am given lesser load over the weekend as compared to the previous weekends but I just felt like I had a lot to do. School is goin to get more intensive in few weeks to come and that is what usually happens when the examination week draws near. Project, assignment and portfolio are chasing after me! I hope I will do good this semester.

Yea, I have gotten back my Geography module midterm paper and I did pretty well for that. Initially I was quite depressed to see the result because I felt I could do better with more preparation but thanks god I made it to thre above average grade. I realised just by studying lecture notes will do the mojo. Readings are complimentary though I have friends who stay loyal to their reading and gotten pretty good marks.

Work is so far so good and we have a new tenants coming to gove yoga lesson. Hmm, talking about yoga I want to do exercise already. Gosh, I wanna go to Taiwan too for X-Japan’s concert. Although dear act as though it doesn’t matter if he could go, I know he really wants to be there. That kid is really maturing I guess. Within such a short span of time, he begins to like shopping and ask for high quality product. Then now I am the one to scrimp and think twice about getting something.

Might be the wishlist I have in mind. I am so going to BUY A NEW LAPTOP! Spoilt for choices man. Of course Lenovo stays the number 1 choice for its long battery life and robust specification but they are not coming out with sleeker design laptop like the one they lauched back then, called the Lenovo Ideapad! Ideapad is a killer in looks but the spec isn’t really up to “date”. Yea, maybe I should heed dearie’s advice and focus on saving instead.

So far I saved 600 bucks. Still a long way to goooooo…..

So I have come to the end of my 3 months vacation in which I spent most of the time earning easy money. My thoughts about the vacation? Well I think I have spent my time quite wisely and I am happy to save quite a decent amount of money for my Hong Kong trip. Woooo, 30 days to seeing ayu LIVE! OOOO.. But before that, doing well in school is the most important thing I should be getting busy over. Yea, this semester is going to be like never before and extremely energy draining for me because for one thing, I have to juggle work and school at the same time(am lemming for Lenovo Ideapad <3). My timetable is brillant, hahaaaa: On tuesday I have a straight 12 hours school day without any interval break, wednesday 4 hours w/o breaks also, and on odd week’s monday for a 2 hours tutorial. And so I have quite a lot of time to earn money. Money is extremely crucial, I realised, and it sucks to be penniless especially when your wishlist grows. But strangly, my wardrobe isn’t expanding in capacity but where has all my money gone to?? AHHHHH, must be the food I ate over the vacation! Haha, am glad to tell ya I have grown heavier over the vacation and I weigh a holly 47 kg! So thrilled can? I always thought I am way to scrawny and it would be better if I were to gain more weight. I hope to put on more pounds before my HK trip. Ahhh, hk trip is going to be such a BIG thing for me!

Returning back to NUS, my university, feels a tad different. Seeing how lost and confused those ‘nooby’ new students are put me in absolute peace…… LOL, sorry for displaying the ugly side of me but seriously, seeing ppl in distress does somehow make you feel like you are not the worse situation. Andddddd, new computers are springing across as7! Certainly I <3 the new change which I am seeing here though it is a little too cram here. Printing queue is crazy at the central library and the computer booking system is down at the moment for Vista upgrade. Hmm, I am taking 5 modules this semester: 4 Communication and New Media modules and one Geography module. Dang, I hope I will pull through the geo module cause ir is getting tougher. The most surprising module out of the plenty, which I am really enjoying, is Introduction to visual communication. I just know that I can be creative if I free my imagination. This module requires us to maintain a blog where we have to constantly update of our new work each week. You can visit it at www.mtr2208.wordpress.com

That is all for now. Till then!
