Unexpected (Nov 8, 2009 / 00:28)
A- for my sociology paper. How unexpected. Equipped with little knowledge about Marxism and the likes, I thought that my analyses were shallow and not concrete enough. Yes, I jabbered too much about Durkheim and Weber, but it was to lengthen the essay such that I wouldn't fall short of the required pages. I couldn't find any other points of view to touch on too, thus the excessive elaboration on the push and pull factors. But hey, the grade has gave me an internal boost, to strive harder for the written paper in December.
There are far too much things whirring in my head now that it had paralyzed my ability to put these thoughts into proper sentences. Then again, no one has to know these useless introspections. Shall chuck all of these in a corner, let it fallow, wither into dust.

H8 you Marx (Sep 15, 2009 / 23:49)
This every-tuesday-submit-your-summary-of-readings is really getting on my nerves. Is it I don't understand? Is it it must be peppered with the names and theories of the Marx, Taylor, Weber, Braverman and the likes? Is it I don't know, I don't care, I summarized a load of gibberish and handed it up like that. Swearing off soci mods.
H8 chu Marx. Damn you theories.
Still very much a psych student. Into the minds of anorexic and bulimics. People's own will can be shockingly powerful.

Oak-like doors, sea blue walls (Sep 12, 2009 / 12:46)
Tucked away in Stamford House, the work place is an exceptionally conducive place to dine/chill with friends. I like like it as compared to the high-surveillance Outdoors.
One test down. One project almost down. 3 mid terms, 3 essays and 1 project to go to go to go.
Nursing a raspy voice now. It's all the honey lemon tea's fault. (Uhh Nutella too)

Little steps (Aug 28, 2009 / 00:04)
Extrinsic motivations for going to school: Grades. Filial piety. Friends (new and old). Lunch. Engaging in useful discussions. Rambles.
Intrinsic motivations for going to school: Sense of satisfaction. Personal well being. Gaining knowledge. Enrich the journey of life. Listen. Feel. Translate. Saved.
Comtemplating, evaluting, rationalizing, connecting, understanding and wondering much more than ever.
Cortisols are dancing their way through the system, though not in the most graceful or orderly manner. Head weighs a tonne. Heart feels queasy, stomach too. To whom shall I convey these words that are clogging up my throat? Whose ears are impartial, whose heart is pure, whose brain has the most connecting neurons, whose feet size are the same as mine?
Breathe. Yes breathe. That's what I told B, but I myself, forgot.

The Gems (Aug 13, 2009 / 18:15)
With an extra ticket left, I was able to grace this year's NDP (:. Sea of red, hearts full of patriotism (or so I think) and a spectacular show that revolved around the nation's development through these 44 years.
Blk 95 Toa Payoh Lor 4 western food. It's superb I must say. Comparable to Manhattan Fish Market (the quality of the food that's it). Fish is fresh, crispy on the outside, tender inside. The mash is displayed in a manner that reminds me of banana boat. Sauce accompanied with it isn't too salty. This place is certainly a gem in our ordinary coffeeshop. They should totally take over the western stall at the deck.
School is, well school. Bought all my textbooks, so am gonna start understanding the texts. Am hoping for sufficient/excess motivational strengths to carry me through this sem.

stress > OUT! (Apr 17, 2009 / 02:01)
Restaurant City is certainly addictive to a certain extent.
Oral test: Didn't do so well for individual dialogue, but J and I did quite well for the paired conversation. Hopefully, CA will pull my scores up!
Desserts to alleviate academic pressure.
Snapped away at Holland.V with T's new love, aka honghong.
So eggcited to see the developed photos!
Last sem's stress busters.
Lying on the staggered cubes,
deciphering cloud patterns,
endless palaver,
guitar heroes,
cooking mama,
(damnit they don't have raving rabbits!)
Hello weekends and study weeks (yet again)! I have motivation circulating within the body system, an indication of a good augury.

ujian dan usulnya (Apr 14, 2009 / 21:33)
Hari ini, saya mengambil ujian di Universitas. Ujian lumayan, kurang sulit :D. Sebernarnya, saya tidak beberapa pertanyaan tetapi tidak apa-apa. Guru juga memberi kami PR, saya mendapat hebat (super, excellent, fabulous)! :D Senang sekali yah! Saya juga memberi psykologi biologi paper, mendapat B+ :)
TETAPI
Bash, no venue (cheap enough).
Night venture (voided). Our efforts. .gone down the drain :(
Cortisols are marching into the hippocampus in fleets. Dr Graham said 30minutes doesn't take up much time, I concur. Shall start the sweating regime next week (I hope).
Of late, everyone's nick/status in msn/fb has been containing these 3 words 'nobody but you', and it refers to this Kooooreean song. I still like 'Tell Me' better.

24hours isn't enough (Apr 7, 2009 / 00:03)
PHUCK BIOLOGY PSYCH
NAHBUEY :( SO FMUCH TO COMPREHEND
Thank you Prof Graham, this is really 'helpful'.
#1 Yours truly won't have sufficient sleep bcos I have to study 10 chapters in 3 weeks.
#2 10 chapters in 3 weeks = stress. Now my hippocampus will deteriorate/shrink as the cortisol starts marching out in fleets.
#3 KUA CEI BO XI GAN LIAO still encourage us to exercise. (Okay, I'm exercising my fingers AND BRAINS. FUCKING NEURONS YOU'D BETTER WORK YOUR ASSES OFF!)
#4 I'll attend lecture to find out what's that about. Seems related to cognitive. .
Ranting done. Kthxbai

5days into April. . (Apr 6, 2009 / 01:02)
Hello sister. You've finally reconnected with me after being MIA for 2-3 years. Just too bad that Nisa wasn't with us. Where'd she go? :(
During bahasa lesson on Thurs, Jermaine and I were suppose to have an oral conversation. We were rehearsing and thought we got it. Who knows, after we sat down, Ibu started the time, we said our selamat malams, AND THEN BOTH OF US WENT BLANK! Fortunately it was only the practise session :S.
Fryday, TCP with yink and her cousin ZongHua(?) [forgive me, that's the closest that I can get]. Chilled at the dam. Watched cars 'tiao hump' (whatever that is). Supper at Geylang.
Sunday. .IS FAMILY DAY :D! Hongs bought Wii! And this game is uber addictive + competitive + fun + sweat. Plus, I must admit that the Rabbids are quite adorable, though they make the most annoying sounds.
P.S - Siangu is not my name!

ba-dee-ahh, say that you remember (Apr 2, 2009 / 05:23)
This time it's for real. I'm really into you. My full general capacity is automatically directed to you. All that abhorrence seemed to be dispelled by the constant movement of the hands of the clock. From now on, both of us can spend every waking moment together :]
P.S I like my 'behces' very the muchiesxz :D

Canon in Dee (Jan 15, 2009 / 17:05)
I went for NM lecture and they showed this. This guy is really awesome :]!
The adapter for my modem has ceased to function thus pathetic me is tapping on the wireless connection in Serangoon Macs. :( They will only be coming in to fix it on Munday. . Bearing with it for the moment. Spending my night reading False Impressions By Jeffery Archer.
And Shukkun just directed me to a youtube video with a couple of retards dancing to Square Rooms. They totally ruin the song! Quoting Leon when he saw my drunken texts "Making my eyes bleed". :|

time goes by. . (Jan 11, 2009 / 02:04)
Everytime I see it, my heart feels crummy. It's as if, any moment, the vessels will stop pumping blood to this muscle the size of my own fist. No no, the head knows better and makes sure that the heart doesn't deviate from its routine. Imma start making my walls stronger, invest in shoulder pads, helmets, knee pads and bullet proof vests so when cupid starts firing her arrows, I'll make sure they repel right back. Easier said than done though.
And who knows, maybe on one of these days, I'll tear down these defences that I've built and be ready to be hit by cupid's weapon.
Aside from ranting, I have yet to:
1) RENEW MY SEASON PARKING. Shyte!
2) Buy New Year clothes
3) Receive my paycheck
4) Buy books & stationery
5) Exercise (or maybe I don't have to, since I don't eat much these days = lost weight. Haha :x)
6) Submit the application for the scholarship
School is starting on Monday. Sad truth. Will be meeting SH & Coach for game + dinner though, so no Munday bluezzzzz. :]

start of the academic year (Jan 7, 2009 / 16:38)
Cheesepie! So many people bidding for Singapore Society >(. And I'm feeling really lazy to scour for other modules that will fit into my schedule.
Kee's birthday surprise went well even though it was a really small affair, only me and SH were there :]. Love you bro, Happy 20th!
Yay school's starting soon :D! Like what I told S, start of the sem means more ranting about schoolwork than affairs of the heart. Plus, learning will stimulate the brain juices, making us productive people who can contribute to society in the future (i actually typed phuture. fuck all the clubbing!). Double yayness! :D:D
All that we shared was history. I have moved on. I daren't ask, and can only speculate what's going on in your head. Perhaps you've misread my words.

what's it gonna be? (Jan 6, 2009 / 18:23)
Yayness I got all my mods in Round 1A :D. Just needa bid for another in Round 2A. Not gonna give myself anymore leeway this sem!
I love and care for my brother but he doesn't appreciate me. Sigh. When will this drama ever end?
I AM NOT SPEAKING TO HIM FOR THE NEXT 48HOURS! That's for being rude to the sister.
