wishing

the christmas lightup at orchard is gorgeous this year
everything looks so eerily ethereal
in twinkling fairy lights of gleaming purplish white
sitting on a bus, i can imagine stormy gusts of wind outside
all we need is snow.
can't imagine the megawatts of voltage spent on keeping those lights up all night.

if we ever get bored of each other
as couples invariably do at one point or another
let's do a disappearing act
and bump into each other at your favourite haunt in 6 months' time
what say you?

i'm crawling through the tons of readings.

thanksgiving

it's been a loooooong time since i felt this happy and relieved!

i stayed up all night editing the 4206 paper and doing 5208
and after the conclusion of 5208 presentation held this evening
i can finally say that all my deadlines are somewhat over now
yippeeeee a huge weight has been lifted
and to add to that good news
my group essay for nm3224 got a pretty good mark
we rewrote nearly the entire thing right away
after a disastrous presentation with 2 days left to spare
so this is truly a miracle.
i'm really happy.

my spirits have been buoyed lately by my 5208 groupmates
kenneth and sor's commitment really inspire me to put in as much effort
to pull off our 5208 campaign as best as we can
despite the endless rewrites, all-nighters in school and discussion
it's damn fun to hang with these guys
provided they're in a good mood
their enthusiasm is really infectious
and i think i need to feel needed
to put in my best sometimes
also very grateful to kelvin and gina in my 4206
whom have been extremely sweet and nice
i love them to bits!

coincidentally
goof reminded me that
today is thanksgiving day

i think i have lots to be thankful for. :)

hello blog.

i was abit hesitant to log onto blogger at first
wasn't sure if i still remember how to blog.

there's been a lot of self-doubts going through my mind these days
ok make that the past few months.
ad nauseum for you guys perhaps
i don't know, maybe i'm not cut out to do hons?
i continue to be constantly blown away and awed by
the sheer amount of efficiency and determination
in people like sor and kenneth
(they are not humans, i tell you)
but it also serves as a glaring reminder of my own incompetence
this has just been a really bad sem
and haha i had thought the previous one was tough enough.
now faced with the last lap before the exams
i just hope to clear all the pending deadlines asap
yes i still have two bloody deadlines and too many nuisance commitments
before attempting to muster whatever mugging energy left in me
to cross the final hurdle.
panting, swaying and almost fainting from exertion.

the way i've been neglecting this blog leaves me super guilty
it reminds me the way how i've been doing the same to my work.


the night sky is cracked up with lightning
very ominous
i'm gonna be up editing a 28-page project
at page 6 now.
oh lordy.

did i mention how my body can't seem to defy sleep anymore?
i'm getting old.
