Yay! The 7 days break is finally here! Well, technically not yet, since I'm supposed to have a 306 lesson tmr. But I guess I'll be skipping it since I havent got time to read thru all the necessary lecs and prepare for tmr's tut. Sigh. Am so so so busy and tired.
But anyway, this recess week is FINALLY a recess wk that's no longer a proj week. It's been eons since my recess week isnt filled with proj meetings. Esp. the past 2 semesters where I had proj meetings EVERYDAY during the week.
Still, in these 7 days, I need to meet sponsors, call up schools, plan for grad trip which really seems like a huge proj in itself, and most importantly catch up on my work! Not only my cores have suffered, but in the recent week, I've not been really able to comprehend what my tutor and classmates are speaking in jap class alr. Which is a really bad sign.
Okays on a last note,
To all NBS final yr students, go for NBS Convocation Ball 2009! http://enchante007.wordpress.com/
To all who have siblings/cousins/frens who are currently studying in sec schs/JCs/polys, ask them to check out National Youth EnvirOlympics Challenge En-Mazing Race 2009!

Mars vs Venus
NYEC meeting was held on the eve of vday in vivo, so fast food seemed to be the only option, hence we ended up at Carl's Junior.
I barely touched half of my fries and decided to shove the packet to the guys sitting near me.
Me: Eh, I dun want alr. You all eat lor.
K: Huh so much? Full alr?
Me: Eh okay la. I just don't really like fries.
K: Why u dun like fries?
Me: Erm, just dun like lor, haha.
B: (speaking to K), You like fries?
K: Yah
B: Then what do you don't like?
K: Mayonnaise
B: Why u dun like mayonnaise?
K: Cos it's white and it looks like vomit.
Then both of them turned and smiled at me expectedly. As if I could make sense out of their what-seemed-to-have-been-rehearsed conversation. I bet they could see the question mark hanging over my head.
Then B finally spoke.
"That's the difference between a male and a female."
*****
On another note, during the meeting, B was consistently telling me that I should start looking for another job all for my own good. It scared me a little, but well, where else would still be hiring you see, as I told him. But he still continued to insist that it's a good piece of advice.
Barely a day after he told me all that, I received my employment contract.
And then, I finally understood what he meant.

Lousy
I don't understand why is it that so many others had came thru it before, and yet, I just couldnt make it.
No matter how hard I've tried.
Suddenly, I dunno where to go on from here anymore.

Oscar Reports Again
The season is here again, and tt's great news. Finally, a surge of decent movies appear in both the theatres and the black box in our houses. I watched The Departed yesterday on tv. It was good, but still nowhere as great as Infernal Affairs, I thought. Then i caught Sophie Scholl just now. But it was a pity tt i didnt manage to watch it wholeheartedly cos my eyes were darting between my laptop and the tv screen constantly (thanks to 306 report discussion). Furthermore, the movie was in German, so it makes the multi-tasking even more difficult. Such a waste! But anyway, this movie reminded me of Schindler's List which I first watched back in my history lessons in Sec 3. And I so feel like watching Schindler's List again.
Okay anyway, a new week beckons. I dun understand how come I always end up consolidating project reports. Sigh. I don't always volunteer to do it, but somehow I'll still end up being part of the consolidation process. Okay nvm, I think I just finished consolidating my very final project report in my academic life!!! Well, it's gonna be a very eventful week ahead and I hope my next post will bring with it wonderful news. Other than that, I can't wait for Friday to arrive cos tt's when I'll be returning to town civilisation after so long (since NYEC meeting will be held in vivo).
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is up next on my list! =)

It's February. Already.
这一个月，很懵懵懂懂地过。
Many times, I go to school simply because it is a routine. Not because I want to go there to gain knowledge, neither it is because I go to school to see my frens, since I'm in different classes from most of them. Well, occasionally it is because I want to go to class to check my tutorial answers but that reason is hardly there anymore because the backlog is piling up. Even my jap class which used to be my favorite doesnt seem that important anymore because I am so tired from the travelling just to attend that 1.5 hr of class. And I'm not enthusiastic on one of my committees anymore. Without passion, where's the ignition?
And there're also many other misc unsettled stuff.
Then I realised, I'm just left with 2 months of being a student.
It's time to pick up the pieces, fix the broken pieces, and piece everything tgr to make it a beautiful picture.
Or at least, try my best at it.
