9 @ 1:59 AM

9's awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Everyone who went to the cinema together can testify that! Though Jo says the plot's too simple but for me it's just exciting! You never know what will happen to them, it's so scary. I could never be like 9 though, I'll just shriek and hide away.

I feel very lucky to have my dad as, well, my dad. Just had one of our longest heart to heart talks about anything under the sun. He made me understand many things, to learn, to do in life, in love, in work. It may sound really simple as you read it, but it's actually a lot more deeper than that... but that's private, ah haha.

Feel much better now, as if an emotional burden was lifted. When was the last time I felt this way? Must have been ages ago.

Stuff @ 9:56 PM

I'm not a Jay Chou fan but I've been hooked on 2 of his songs, because I think the tunes are really nice! And I like the way he sings his voice in high pitch, just too cool somehow hahahhaha.

Just had my project meeting and I left with a headache. I feel like a noob -_-. And I realise, I'm quite the introvert. I can't open up freely like how I used to anymore. Not only on this blog, but in front of people as well.

Not a recess week @ 12:01 AM

Recess week doesn't feel like recess week anymore :( Everyday there's always something, and I can't possibly refuse them because it's either:

1. School work related
2. Haven't seen the peeps for so long
3. Something I badly need to do
4. Birthday parties

I feel like searching for work to finance my spending. Not that I'm spending much, I'm actually cutting down by only spending on food and transport only. However sometimes I just want to spend on some wants to make myself happy and that needs ka-ching, quite a bit of it. Problem here is that I can't really work too much since I'm taking 6 modules. Problem indeed. So... too bad :(

Recess Week is here! @ 2:40 PM

Recess week couldn't have come at a better timing than this, when I'm seriously swamped with deadlines and need to stop going to school everyday. So hooray!!! :D

Guess the most interesting thing that happened for the week was that right after I blogged about the laptop case that I didn't get, my sis called me and told me she was getting one for me right now, and YES IT'S JAPANESE PRINTS TOO! What a totally surprising coincidence! Was so excited, I told her OK straightaway.

Came home and tadah! It was sitting on my table, and it was a perfect fit! *hugs* Really really happy hohoho! That's one wish fulfilled :)

Today's going to be my slack and relax day, gonna pack up my room. It's in dire need of a fix. So toodles everyone, for the NUS peeps: enjoy your break (and study). For the NTU peeps: Not to worry one more week to go :) For the rest: erm... have fun!

Toodles~

Awww @ 11:41 AM

Passed by Central Forum this morning and I saw a booth selling laptop cases with Japanese prints!!!!!!!

Was so excited, I ran to buy my Mac breakfast and quickly came back. Found a really pretty print but unfortunately, it didn't fit my laptop and the other designs were not too nice... :'( WHAT A PITY . The seller said she would enquire about other designs for the larger sized cases so that she could bring them the next time. Can't wait!

Whenever I have to go for my maths class at science, it ALWAYS RAINS. And when you are at the other end of school and it's pouring so heavily, you end up having no mood to go. Seriously, it seems like I have no affinity with my science classes...

My first pair of crocs @ 1:00 AM

I just got my first pair of crocs, and it's awesome because it's so darn light! The price tag is pretty hefty but luckily my mum nicely "sponsored" me half of it so I don't feel the pain.

Had training tonight, and I don't know how I'm going to survive through Saturday's IFG. I mean it was bad enough that I couldn't walk properly for a few days following the prelims last Saturday, but that sorted out with time. Now I'm having problems running or walking up the stairs (and a little for going down) because I can't exert any pressure on the muscles of my right thigh else I'll just... *strangled gargle* Going to see some Chinese doctor, I hope it will work in time for this Sat.

@ Subby: yeah I don't do so now, unless there's something inside me that's dying to be spoken out. In which, nothing much else for the fact that recess break is here. It's much needed, but not exactly a whoopee. >_>

A new post @ 2:56 PM

I'm starting to think that Facebook is getting too hyped up. I know it's weird, but sometimes I just want to let out stuff inside me using status messages without people asking too much. Facebook doesn't give me that privilege.

Till I feel like updating again, toodles everyone.

The mentality with donations @ 12:44 PM

It only struck me today to blog about it after the 3rd time this happens.

Anyways, was going home from sch as usual, and went to buy my fav bubble tea (whee) and some lunch to eat at home. Walking to the bus station, there was a girl who stopped me and asked for a donation.

Usually I don't like ticket donations, because they involve some obscenely huge amount(huge for a donation IMO)I asked who was she doing it for and she said it was for SMU CIP.

Wah it really brings back memories of my NUSSU Flag Day - was hell. This girl is so lucky, the whole Jurong interchange only have her walking around trying to sell the tickets. When I was doing my Flag Day, it was competition everywhere. Students vied to get the best hotspots, and there were so many of us that when you ask people to donate, everyone says they donated already -_-|||

Anyway so in the end I donated that $2 for a ticket that I probably wouldn't use. She was really happy at selling off another ticket, who wouldn't? If you ask me to choose between shit work and CIP, I would choose shit work unless that shit work is really too shitty to be done. I bet that out of the whole Singapore student population, only 10% would bother to volunteer to do this kind of things. No wonder it's mandatory for all the students now (except for uni level cuz I doubt if NUS makes it compulsory, but SMU is I think).

Which again comes to the point - I'm in essence just donating to help that poor girl clock her CIP hours and finish her task so that she can go and do her own things. My mum has always tried to instill a sense of duty to donate to the needy whenever I can, but I don't think it worked too effectively in the end because as I grew up, I thought it was rather stupid to just donate blindly to anyone I see. Furthermore, I didn't really feel very gracious to be throwing out my money so easily just because it's under a name of charity. There had to be more than just that to donate. If I don't have the real heart to do it, I feel like I'm a hypocrite, someone who just wants to donate to look good in front of others.

Right now, all the times I've donated was only because people bothered to make the effort to ask me (should applaude them for the effort), and because it made me remember how tough it is to get donations after numerous scams have plagued the charity scene even up till now. So I donate as a erm... ex- fellow- helper.

Speaking of effort, a certain relative of mine called up my house one day wanting to speak with my mum. My sister took the call instead. Turns out his daughter was selling tickets for her school and he asked if we could buy for her. After ending the call, my sister told us and me and mama's reaction was immediate.

"Huh! Buy tickets again? How many times already!"

What made us jump was because time and time again, our relative kept persuading us to buy tickets to support his child's school raising fund. That's the thing with prestigous schools. They have god-knows how many alumni and wealthy parents supporting them backstage, but the kids still have to sell tickets to raise more money for them. As if they weren't rich enough already, look at their school facilities. (*snort*) The worse thing is if they can't sell it off, usually they are forced to buy the rest of the unsold tickets. Then the school will probably go "yadayada we sold off all the tickets thanks for your great support and love for the school!" Bullshit.

I have never attended a prestigous school, not even up till JC. All were neighbourhood schools. But at least when we do fund raising, they never forced us to buy all the unsold tickets, at the most only persuade us to "try harder". I still remember while selling the tickets for JJC, it was ok to return the unsold tickets, I saw people collecting them at a booth. Ok la given that usually there are more people who aren't so rich in neighbour schools, but still it's outrageous to force people to buy all of them. This is not the attitude one should have to face when helping to sell tickets - because it's a you-pay-or-I-pay-and-school-still-wins situation. So unfair right?

But what I was most against was the fact that my uncle actually had to call on behalf of my cousin. What is so embarrassing (if any) to ask us directly herself? If she can so freely claim to be a student of a prestigous school, what's so hard to sell tickets from her school then? Suddenly turn shy? She's a teenager, with capacity to think and act on her own but ends up having to get her father to do the job for her. Personally I feel that this is more of a humiliation than having to beg her relatives to buy her tickets.

Well, good luck to her at any rate. I sincerely hope she can sell off those tickets, but with more effort.
