Hello everyone (: Heh, I'm kinda high right now. Just imagine spending DAYS, doing no other work but rhet essays. It's so suffocating! I was like pulling my hair out, squeezing my brain juices so dry every single day. Just editing and re-editing, time and again. Gosh, you have no idea. Now that I have my conference session tmr, I really hope that this time I can do well! Make up for my first really shitty one ): Special thanks to my DADDY! Who helped me with analyzing of that FREAKING STUPIDLY COMPLICATED TEXT. Hah, my dad so rocks :D And he thinks I'll get like A+. Hahaha! Let's see shall we? Let's see..
Oh mid-terms are coming up real soon! Like I have psych and CS in TWO WEEKS! I just like have to like ALWAYS study before or during my birthday eh? SIGH, never changes :/ Haha. Oh well, I guess I could be thankful that the two come the two days before my birthday? So I can really enjoy it this time. But oh well, I guess it wouldn't be the same? I don't know how I'll get through my birthday without you by my side. It wouldn't ever be the same. Last year was, perfect. And I wanted this year to be, more than perfect? Anyway, then comes ACCY and ECON tests after that, so around 3 weeks from now.
I so gotta catch up with psych and CS though! I have to discipline myself to stop ponning CS lab sessions, cos I think I'm falling behind, since the lectures I kinda can't exactly stay awake too? :/ Haha. Can't help it! It's boring :/ And Accy lectures are like zzzz. Jez and I just can't help but slip into lala-land as well :p
PSYCH! is interesting? Like very interesting? And I really like it? BUT! LOADS OF MEMORIZING! It's just bio all over again, omg. Neurons, cerebrellum, cortex, etc. So many things to remember about the brain. And that's not the only thing. All the different types of other things. I better start writing notes and reading up the text!!!
Ohoh another interesting thing this week! ASIAN FOOD FESTIVAL! Omg I swear all the asians just simply can't wait for that! We all miss asian food like mad, it's so deficient over here. American asian food is like, NOT NICE. So proper asian and authentic asian food? YOU WELCOME THEM WITH OPENING ARMS! :DD hahaha. Yes, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, maybe Vietnam Indonesia Korea I'm not sure. FOODDDDDD (((: Friday's lunch and dinner is SO SETTLED :D
Someone act camera shy eh? :p I promised myself I'll be really truly happy this rest of the week. For you. For me. For us. Baby I just can't wait to skype you. Oooohhhh yeahhh :D

I guess it's normal to feel the way I feel now.
One word can describe it.
Empty.
I don't know how else to elaborate it.
Can't explain it either.
Spent practically the whole day getting my essay drafted out.
How cool is that, spending the weekend thay way.
Sigh, I just really miss Singapore.
I think I'm numbing myself.
Like right now? I really don't feel like doing anything.
It gets this bad at times.

OMG I'M SOOOO HOOKED ONTO GOSSIP GIRL! haha. It's my source of entertainment here now! Thanks to Jessica. So I started watching Season 1 online, and it's sooo twisted! And sooo exciting ((: I simply LOVE them, heh. First part, Blair and Chuck sucked like crap I hated them! And Dan, Jenny and Serena were basically just love. And towards the end of Season 1 you just go like come on! I want more! Haha. And now I think Blair and Chuck are just as cute a couple :D So are Rufus and Lily! They so belong together. Too bad their kids are dating, lol. Oh yay! I'm just left with ONE episode of Season 2, and I'll catch up! So.....next monday 7pm, it's Gossip Girl time in Jessica's room! :DD heh.
I can't believe I watched like FOUR HOURS straight of it last night. I was supposed to be studying when I got back from Walgreens! But yeah well.....having the computer in front of you all the time didn't help at all. It was just so tempting. Lol. But, still not a good excuse when I've a test today? Haha! :p
Okay, it's econ stats! And it SUCKS! I've learnt pretty much everything in JC! And we're just repeating it. But the super duper thing that I hate, is that, we totally can't use the GC! )): So.........we have to basically calculate EVERYTHING on our own. Using just a basic calculator! Like everything! Including variance, standard deviation, covariance, least squares line of regression, sound familiar? Lol, yeah..you get the idea. And the WORST thing ever is that.......you have to use like SIX DECIMAL PLACES for allllllll your workings!! Can you imagine punching in all the numbers in your calculator?? Gosh it just like increases the chance of a careless mistake by like, ten thousand folds?? Grrrrr. Everybody got so frustrated doing the online quizzes on Mallard. Cos Mallard's a programme allowing you to do the quizzes as many times as you like until you're satisfied with your grades? That's the good part. The bad part? It just sucks! Cos it's so sensitive. And it so isn't fun doing all those manual calculations for like ten thousand times ):
Oh well, at least this week is almost over! Kudos! The weekend's coming! :D Not that it's much of a difference, but still better than nothing. I wanna go to the mall on Saturday! Shopping shopping :D But I still have quite a bit of work too. Gotta write another 3-5 page long essay again for rhet! And it sucks cos it's about cuteness! ):
Gahhhh I'm so tired and sleepy........... I feel so confined in my room........... I feel retardedly stupid sometimes............ Sometimes I just lay awake at night staring at the ceiling and feel the loneliness. I don't know, it's just impossible to put the feelings into words I guess. I'm not just being emo for the sake of being emo! And I'm not even emo! Just......a general feeling. Doesn't have the homely feeling......
I MISS SINGAPOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE )):
I wanna go for Social Night! ):
I just wish I could apparate right now.
To and fro Singapore.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
I miss you..........................

UPDATE! :D
Weather's been pretty erratic these few days. Raining, sunny, cold, hot, windy, whatever. Yeah! To the extent that I'm falling sick! )): Like my nose keeps running! And I refuse to fall sick. Cos if you're here all alone and sick, it'll feel super miserable! So I was like guan-ing myself with all the water, and took some panadol. Too bad I can't get like ALL the sleep I wish to have! Cos there's so many assignments and work to do!
It's only the end of the third week of school and it's been pretty breathless already. I've done so many quizzes, and I have two tests next week! Both ACCY 201 and ECON 202. One thing good here is everything is MCQ? But that I suppose can be a bad point too? Cos MCQ can be difficult too. And ACCY there's some case study thingy. Other parts are pretty easy cos they're actually just fully copy and paste from the practice question sets in the lecture notes book, haha.
I think RHET 105 is totally retarded! Rhet btw, is like composition class. Like you HAVE to take it. Unless your SAT critical reading got like damn freaking high. Like SOMEONE here who got full marks for critical reading?! :/ Lol. Anyway I find my class damn retarded. Cos we have this book full of essays by authors, and it's titled "Acting Out Culture". And the first essay we read from there, from which we had to write our first assignment, was titled "Hopelessly Hooked onto Help". Gosh, it sounds retarded on its own. Talking about the self-help industry blah blah blah. Okay, at least this one made more sense. As compared to the second essay we've to read, like now. For our second written assignment. And guess what it's titled! "CUTENESS". Like omg! Which totally GAY guy author would actually write about CUTENESS! The expression of saying something is cute, is like so innocently normal and simple! Yet he made it out to be so complicated! He making his life damn complicated sia. I mean, on first look, doesn't cute and grotesque seem contradictory?? But this author, actually managed to argue his way through and found support for his point that the grotesque can somehow be cute know! Like people describe something as cute because they feel pity and empathy for that thing. Like defining helplessness. But like let's say people have like deformities and all that, that's also pity! And it's like SO NOT CUTE. But I don't know how he twisted the whole thing, and I just totally felt the essay was lame and retarded and unnecessary!
And we still have to write about it for our second assignment ):
And it feels super retarded to be writing an actual essay after not being in touch with GP for the last NINE MONTHS! Haha. Really! You feel like something's at the edge of your mind, yet you can't really figure out what that is. And you go like dammit. Haha.
Okay, enough about Rhet. Psychology's getting pretty interesting though! I love my instructor. She's so cool! Like she always incorporates all the videos and fun facts and fun activities and discussions into class so that we won't be bored by all the content, and it's not just pure lecture. Like what some other instructors do. Heh, guess I'm pretty lucky to have chosen her class! (: But currently the content's pretty deep. Cos we're at biological psychology now? So everything about the brain and all. Neurons, neurotransmitters, synapses, cortexes etc etc. Familiar?? HAHAHA :p The terms are really cheem lah. But it's pretty interesting how things work lah. But hmmm, maybe I won't be saying that in these few weeks to come since mid-terms are coming up fast! Lol.
I can't wait for Thanksgiving holiday!
I wanna go to FLORIDA! Disney World!
Can we go can we go?? ((:
And anyway, for today, probably nothing can break my happy mood (:
Despite the fact that I'm kinda sick.
Despite the fact that I have two tests next week and have to STUDY.
Despite the fact that it looks like it's gonna pour soon and we might have our Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations tonight cancelled.
Simply cos.......I'm happyyyyy! WHEEEEEEE :DD
Shhhh. I secretyly took video snapshots :DD
Tsk tsk :p
Oh how you make my day.
When you remember to skype me, just to see me.
And when you do those faces on webcam.
And when you fight with me to say you love me more than I love you ((:
Baby, make it stay that way, baby please.
Forever <3

I hate this feeling. Whatever I'm feeling right now. I don't know what it is. Or why it is there. It just is. Sucks. Suddenly I'm tired of everything. And I don't know why I'm feeling all this. I just am. And there's no one to talk to......

Gosh I swear the weather's freaking hot over here. The sun and the heat literally burns on the surface of your skin. Hah, and what's more it's not like Singapore whereby there are actually tall buildings to block some of the sun. Haha, I'm so glad I bought my Oakley's already :p But I have to like, switch between the sunnies and my own specs. Since I'm like half blind with my contacts. Hmmm. My dad suggests I bring them back to Singapore in December and ask Uncle Freddy to input degree into the lenses. Don't know if it's possible, but I'll try (:
It's really kinda weird. I haven't been with the books for like NINE MONTHS! Then came the first week of school here in a totally foreign land. Which went okay, since the classes were pretty much of intro. Some teachers even let us off after like 10-15 minutes into the period?! LOL. And, end of the first week's already a LONG WEEKEND. Labor day was yesterday. So, Singapore Students' Association (SSA) had planned like a Chicago trip for everyone. Like 50-60 of us, travelled up to Chicago. So cool man! We had a BLAST :D
Saturday was Chinatown Chicago lunch, and downtown Chicago touring. We even watched fireworks at Navy Pier at night (: Sunday was just pure SHOPPING CRAZY at Aurora Outlets. I didn't even get to shop finish!! Cos the place was just wayyyy too big, and we had limited time. Haha. But that was cool, I did buy quite a few things. And not to mention, many many cool fun photos with the girls. And guys :D Haven't uploaded alot of the photos though, cos they're with my friends. My camera kinda died on me halfway. But I'll be sure to post some here when I finally get my hands on them alright ((:
I realize how much I've taken certain things for granted back home. And sometimes I just wish I had them all over again. Back in my home. Over here I have so much more to learn. So much more, just to be independent. I have to do everything myself. Every single thing. Walk to class, buy groceries, do the laundry, settle my own food when there aren't mealplans, make solid decisions on my own without having anyone to consult, wash the dishes, manage my spendings and finances. Simple things they sound. But when you're on your own and have so many things to settle, so many things on your mind that you have to remember to do, they don't seem that little anymore. What's more, it's the little things that add up to make big things.
And I miss home soooo much. I miss that silly little boy back home. The army boy, soon-to-be officer. I just can't wait to be back home once again. I don't really wish for here to become the familiar and the norm, while things in Singapore become the unfamiliar. That isn't gonna happen, are they?
