Back for one week already!

Feel like one month... No.. it felt like I've never really left.. weird as it sound.. but its true.. everything just so got back to the same routine as the time I've left... There's no changes to everybody! Its weird right... but yesh! Everything/Everyone is just stagnant like 4 months ago!! Don't know how to put it.. but .. yah..

*****
As for the companies! I've sort of made my choice already.. Just have to reply and that's it! Hope I made a good right choice.. coz i'm not planning on running away from the company anytime soon. heez..

*******
Went Walas with Topaz on friday night! ( see what I meant by nothing changes.. Walas... )


Agenda of the night : Graduation Trip!

The group is kinda divided between USA and Europe.. of coz I'm voting on USA! heez.. and with the US currency all time low! heez.. okay.. not to have too high hopes now.. Need to think of budget issue! Shit!

Speaking of which.. mummy did the calculation for my exchange and said i spent much lesser than what she expect I would have spent on my exchange! I didnt know I was so thrifty... heez.. =)) maybe that sum of money can go to my grad trip!! whahaa...

val val! I wan walas pictures!

*******
Oh yah! and I rebonded my hair on Fri as well! Gosh.. It looks so flat now.. and I look SO FAT!! But I dont really have a choice as to what I should do with my hair! Its so messy! Its not very long and part of the perm from the previous time is still there! SO.. the hairdresser choice was to... rebond away the perm and wait for hair to grow! haha.. yea.. and then I highlighted it red! yep!

*******



Watched 27 dresses yesterday with Piggy before going for some Jap food! hee.. I think I've really eaten all the food I've been missing! Satisfied!

and 27 dresses is sooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo Nice! I think everyone should watch it!!! Its so super duper sweet! =))) Love the show..

******

and lastly... I guess Its back to some tutorials! Hate and drag going to school now.. I'm 6 tutorials behind in my 206.. sucks.. I know.. and I've got totally no mood to do any of it.. as for 306... the 1st lecture waS NOT fabulous as I run around school.. trying to find that stupid lecture hall..=(( called everybody I knew from grp B to no reply.. hows tat! okok.. I sound so grumpy ( but I've always been v dependent on my grp A peep).. haha.. I just so felt like not going already before realising I can call grp A peep although they are not in same class as me.. I guess that is the sacrifice I've gotta made when I decided to go on exchange... to be separated from my clique and be ALONE in that module.. =( hate school.

(sorry if i've been makin too many grp A / B comparison but.. its just the feeling of helplessness sometimes you just wan to rant about it)

******

OKay! New year is coming soon! Wonder hows my UK frens doing?! think the weather should be really cold now!! Has it snow yet? hee.. =))

going shoppin with val val on monday! yeah! =)))

******

time to get some tutorial done! =(

Graduation Trip
My biggest headache now...
From what I know so far...
Dearest tutorial mates ssJ ( with support of ben yeo), and the maybe tun and sheryl are going EUROPE!!
I'm so gian to follow them again but.. I doubt mummy will sponsor me for that.. Plus.. they should be going to the places I've been to already.. haix...
Then... the 3 ladies emailed me and tell me they are going to
WORK and TRAVEL (USA)
Its so sweet of them coz they got consider me and that i've been to Europe and most probably wont wanna go again.. so they think of work and travel... BUT! I have a tiny bit of don't want to work before the real starting of work! though I'm quite gian to go USA..
then.. while I was telling anli ( my exchange mates who is facing the same problem) and generally talking with the others.. I mentioned I am quite gain to go
New Zealand
and anli say she might be going there! Maybe I can join her! She's been to New Zealand before and she say its Super Duper FUn!
Or.. I can just hope that MR MF really do not anyhow spend money.. and we save and have enough to go
JAPAN!
thn... I can just consider that as my grad trip..
and finally.. if worse come to worse....
stay in singapore and prepare to start work..
-_-''
So How!!!
what should I choose?


I see you turning back at 8:38 PM

Had my 1st University of Herfordshire exam paper today!... Human Resource Management (GE) and me and anli left the exam room 40 mins earlier.. I totally got nothing to write already.. although I've tried my best to crap.. hah..

and things I've notice here which I think its like ... "wha or duh"!

1) 5 Mins before starting the paper.. the room is half empty.. People can be calling the examiner to tell him he will be late.. WOW! I dont think that will ever happen in NTU... hah..

2) My housemate friends stay up at Learning Resource Center the whole night to study before exam... I mean.. is it required? erm.. Maybe is coz.. that is something I totally would not do..

anyways.. next paper 2molo... I'm not so much focus on next paper tomolo but rather.. I'm leaving in 3 days time.. OMG...

save meeee

Today is sort of like a "last london Outing b4 going back Spore" Trip..

Early in the morning.. Went down to london with anli... Reach @1130am and Primark is still not open! Decided to start shopping for friends' souvenirs..

1st stop: souvenirs shop!

anli looking at all the keychain...

We spent about 45 mins there.. trying to find the most suitable gifts for our friends.. Its such a headache man! I've been always checking out all these shops for gifts.. but when the day come when I have to decide ah... Still such headache.. hah..

tata.. my basket of gifts! can you guess which one belong to you? JC frens.. dun need to see.. haha.. all dont belong to you all coz long time ago buy u all one already.. hehe.. This whole basket cost around 30 pounds.. s$90! hah.. me and anli both heartache.. so... dearest frens! must keep hao hao okay! hehee...

next stop: Primark! the shopping heaven..
After spending such a bomb at the gifts shop... I cut down on my spending at primark! hehe.. bought like 5 tops and a sandal for just 15 pounds.. hehe.. HAPPY!!
we were so hungry by then... we had wanted to find fish and chips for lunch but decided to forgo and had mac instead...

After lunch, Next stop: Harrods..In memory of Princess Diana and Dodi

with cute harrods bear bear


Almost the last time ..797 to London... =(

If given a chance, I'll do this whole exchange program again..

Is there any job that allow me to work in London... 3 months, Singapore 3 months and back to london again.. 3 months and continously like tat? heez.. If only.. Wellz..

Shall stop dwelling on the "leaving" London and start lookin forward to Going back spore =((..

hah.. Ops.. Shld be.. =)))

Can finally eat the good nicey food and meet my dearie! I wanna run and give him ONE BIG HUG when I see him.. as if.... and I can also see my parents.. and my sis who I know have been hogging my room all these while.. and the irritating brother of coz... what's more... The lamest clique of JC frens.. and of coz tutorial mates..

OKay! tat shall be it.

Oh yah.. I just wanna mention this before I forget..Before coming to UK to study, I feel that being able to enter into NTU accountancy was prestigious etc etc etc.. I find that thinking kinda shallow now... NTU is just a Good Uni in Singapore.. but as soon as we get out of our tiny little island.. that piece of cert is ... maybe.. equivalent to the lousiest uni in UK? US? or anywhere esle? Well.. I think studying in SIM- university of London cert is even more recognised than ours lar.. so cock hor..

If I've been in UK for exchange in the 1st year... I would have quit NTU and come over here to study.. If only.. But wells! I'm glad I have the chance to get out of shallow tiny Singapore to experience life in this big Ocean.. Am glad.. =))

Yeah! Exam is coming next week! Seriously, this is the 1st time I'm so happy exam is finally coming. Reason: During the exam period, cant go travelling if not also will be worried, but at the same time, coz i onli need to pass, I dont feel like putting in more effort than required to study for the exam.

Hence, I've been watching shows and watching shows and watching more shows! haha.. Just finish a Taiwan Drama: Romantic Princess by my darling WU ZUN! hehe.. and zhang shao han.. its quite good! hehe..

And.. We've all been going to the learning resource center to study everyday.. "study"

PPL: anli, farah, angeline, dino, scott, kelvin!

I think its just the fun of everyone going to study together.. coz most of the time I dont know what I am doing.. haha.. but still, I like doing this kinda together thing.. for the fun of it!

Angeline went back to Singapore already due to some personal issue.. and so yesterday, the whole house everyone cook a dish for her! scott made dumplings... dino made some toast with egg, kelvin cook steak, paul cook noodles and connie made us some soup! yummy! its super duper delicious!! YUMMY!!! pictures when i get it from angeline... then the whole bunch of us went to send her at the bus stop...

This made me think of the day when I'll be leaving London.. which is.. One week from now.. I'll probably be sobbing away.. hah.. no lar.. i wont..

so.. exam plz hurry come!! and I can return to Singapore back soon. and haix.. shake head.. be depressed.

btw.. I've just made the list of things i gotta buy for frens.. gosh.. I need to go london!!! so many things to buy.. hah.. okkok... BYE BYE

2007 would be last of the year with so much freedom to do whatever I like.. It seems weird to me bcoz I really still feel like its 2007 now.. rather than 2008. Maybe the feeling of "starting over, starting fresh" will only set upon me when I return to Singapore.

2007- The year I become 21... I really think this year has been great! Thanks to mama and papa for making this year so fabulous! The opportunity to go overseas to study and travel so much... The bdae party... The bdae present... I feel really blessed to be able to have everything I want.. hah.. sounds spoilt but.. yah.. But I totally appreciate everything they have given me!

I think I mention this before.. that when I was in JC 1.. I thought that was the best year.. and subsequently, in JC 2, year 1, year2 and now year 3 in uni, I still have the feeling that.. that was the best year I've ever had.. I hope this would continue and 2008 would once again let me feel that that is the best year I've ever had!

Back in Singapore in 8 days... Mixture of feelings.. =) =( =) =(.. hah.. well..

As for now.. time to study again!
