Heng Ah

the higher power up there still believes I'm worth the trouble..
heng ah..

I got a B for the blo*dy 306
after getting 2 big F's for my quizzes (40% coursework)
(not intending to boast here)

yar.. but sometimes
you just need to count your blessings..
today I'm thankful
it's a pleasant christmas gift this year...

I'm counting down 17 days

I should start packing... *ermx*

28 days

needles and more needles

went for my medical check up today..
such confusing procedures..
i ended up with 4 injections
haha.. okies I won't say I terribly afraid to needles..
I'm cool.. just that it both arms kinda feel numb now..
and the worst thing, I am not supposed to touch alcohol for a week
what brillant timing...
(was supposed to go z0uk with the girls tonight)
next week ba.
we'll see

will probably be late in handing up the form to Bentley
technically it is supposed to reach them on the 15th of Dec.. hee
we'll see

busy busy week..
I'm about to decide the firm I'm going to lay down my life for
when I grad next yr
haha.. interesting choices..
we'll see

tml Sands, Fran, Jo and Dot are coming over to the East to go on a Food Hunt
the initial idea was to allow me to eat everything Si*ngaporean before I leave
but it feels like Sands secret agenda to eat.. haha

we'll see

packing up the dreams He planted

i don't like open-end questions, give me options, i'll choose

the 306 paper instills fear..
..choices i make, burdens i carry

what happens if this reckless choice to see the world
re-shapes my future..

i hate to regret
but if given a 2nd chance
would i walk it differently

today, i return my hall room key
that journey ends
taking with me good memories
harsh lessons, fun times..
that's life we win some, we lose some...

tml, things are going to be different
the behavioural theory explains why we resist change

someone up there
give me directions, not crossroads
or at the very least...
the courage

do they have these in Boston?

Courses - 29 October 2007

Just decided on the courses i want to take over at boston.. *cross my fingers*

Financial Statement Auditing

Strategic Management

Human Resource Management

Advertising

Introduction to Gender Issues

the acceptance letter

today i went to collect my acceptance letter from Bentley..
All the irritating form filling has reaped its results..
haha..

as blur and confused as i can get..
I paid a some fee.. US$130 hor..
But I don't really know what it is for..
haha.. guess there is going to be alot of this type of cash outflow from here on..

now I need to apply for VISA..
I'll do it next week..
seems like a tedious and boring process..
shall procastinate it till my quiz week is over..

OOOOOH.. next up..
I'm air ticket shopping..
'I'm leaving on a jetplane...lalala~'
it's exciting cause it involves which day I'm leaving and when I am coming back..
which includes whether I'll be holidaying in US before term at Bentley starts and how long I have to tour Europe after term ends..
*blinks*

the ticket prices rise like crazy and are selling like hot cakes..
I should decide on one soon..
before like my sis suggested.. i should go in a DHL..

satay bak

u have never fully enjoyed peranankan cooking until...

u are stuck in your hall room,
struggling to mug for a quiz that is defined by torment,
then u take out from the fridge a gong of 'satay bak' my mum cooked over the weekend and of course her shiok blacan.
throw everything into the toaster,
the whole room smells of that 'satay bak'..

ahhhhh.....

the rest need not be elaborated
thou i must add that you have u use the white rice to clean off every bit of the gravy, lick if u have too..

oh dear~ who's going to get me satay bak and sambal blacan when i'm in Boston??

i am happy

when i look back at this blog entry.. i must remember to enjoy myself to the fullest

give and take
sacrifices have to made
there is always an opportunity cost
everyone has to pay their dues

i cannot give up!!!
at this point, i really don't know which thread i'm hanging on..
i just know that, (maybe its my ego) but giving up isn't an option..

argh...
*frustrated*
i made the choice to go for exchange
therefore i indirectly made the choice of having to re-arrange my modules
so i made the choice to do both 206 and 306 this sem

argh...
it's 3.25am now
I have a 206 quiz in 5 hours and a 306 quiz 24 hours after
one is an open-book quiz the other closed book
I have been studying both for almost 2 weeks now..

both quizzes just don't complement each other..
sigh~

argh...
and my not so bright little brain doesn't make things any better
i'm just getting more and more confused

what am i doing??

lifted this off someone's msn nick:
'this path i choose to take.. along with the burdens i meant to carry'

*reflects*

change is a good thing rights??

I cut my hair short..

despite the whole issue about long hair being better for winter
despite the fact that the hairdressor was not very skilled
despite that it was probably the cheapest haircut ever
despite the fact that i was probably her guinea pig
despite the fact i think i looked alot better in long hair

conclusion: I'm stressed

nah.. it's not the exchange but the consequences of the exchange
all the complains abt the form filling and packing.. is whining..

nail clipper..

there was this morning, that i woke up and my first thought..

i must remember to bring my nail clipper and my shampoo..

oh no.. this sounds bimbo right..
but i'm serious.. there are just so many things that jump in and out my little head..
confused again..

i'm using the asicene shampoo.. and it occured to me that they probably won't have that brand in Boston..
but then it doesn't seem right to bring a whole half year supply of shampoo with me..

haha.. so bin said i should bring one bottle.. then reward myself my washing with my fav shampoo once a month..

i can't imagine the panic when i actually do my packing..

dot reminded me i still have to pack out of my current room, then pack for boston..

aiyo

i hate form filling!!!

argh.... why are there soooo many forms to fill
it's getting me soooo confused

country, city, state, country of birth, country of residence, country of passport....
there were about 20 fills asked differently but generally the answer would have just been 'spore'

these forms are out to irritate me..

looking back at Tuesday 25 Sept 2007

today i got my confirmation of offer from the int'l relations office..

yes..that's when i started informing the folks and my close friends..

i need to decide whether to accept the offer before 5pm today..

i can't drive... can't cycle.. can't cook.. can't wake up in morning..

oh no...

looking back at Monday 24 Sept 2007

10 days after dressing my self esstem with salt
he decided to give me a 2nd chance

this intern at the international relations office called
someone pulled out from the bentley exchange
they are offering me the place instead

*screams* *claps* *whistles* *cheers*

haha.. right after the momentary splish of joy..
the sudden slience left me wondering..

so what happens now?

months ago, when i decided that i want to go for exchange...
never did i think about what happens from 'i want to go' --> ' i can go' --> 'i'm going'

looking back at Friday 14 Sept 2007

not good enough..
reality sucks!!!

i think we all make active choices abt how we want to lead life
i think i made the right ones
nobody likes to regret

well, you gain some you lose some
(holds true unless you are talking abt my weight)

An li's leaving for UK tml..
sometimes God has his way, rubbing salt into the wound

but yar.. i'm happy for her
