Hmm, nothing eventful to post...Same old tutorials, boring lectures...
But, I want to have my 200th post on the day I received Breaking Dawn.
It's been confirm, I will be getting Breaking Dawn paperback version. Sigh, what to do? Maybe, next time I will get the hardcover version, just for fun.
Don't mind the countdown to the release of Breaking Dawn because, one it's USA time zone and two, Breaking Dawn is scheduled to release on 4th of August in Singapore instead of 2nd.
CSA lessons have been on Flash. Don't know what sparks the interest in me to explore flash myself since I'm not strong in the computer subject. I even went to download the trial version. It's quite fun though I only know the very basics. I can create twinkling stars and fireworks.
Exams will be upon us very soon. Got to buck up, I don't set high goals, just As and Bs is enough.
Been keeping contact with my friend in LA, California. Her school term has not started yet.

Presentation, test and Breaking Dawn
Thursday's POM presentation was alright. Met up with the group at 10am to rehearse and tie up loose ends. The dress code was semi-formal (without blazer). We kept laughing when rehearsing for the skit, haha. It's really funny...
We were the second group to present. Our slides were too wordy and as a result, we were just reading from the slides. I'm really nervous when it was my turn to present. I'm not too good in this kind of stuff...Then came the skit, I was already laughing before I said my line. The rest of the group members were laughing too. Oh well...
Today, 26th of July, there's Comm skills test. I can barely finished my paper on time. 1 and a 1/2 hours is just too short. There's so much writing to be done. I can't remember much of the formats since I didn't not really study on Friday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pre-ordered Breaking Dawn from Popular today. Not very happy though, I have a bad feeling about this. If what I'm thinking come true, they are going to get it from me... The cashier confirmed that the novel will be in hardcover, but after I did some checking, it seems that the novel will be in paperback 1st. What the......Zzz
I want the hardcover version to protect the spine of the book...

Bon Voyage and updates
Mixed emotions today, 22nd July 2008.
The teacher allowed me to leave his class early at 3pm (yay) and I rushed to take a cab and reached Changi Airport Terminal 2 by 3.20pm. This morning I received sms from my friend, Sharon, saying that she can't come out after all. I was like "What..." Proves that anything can happen in the last minute.
But I still went there all the same, meeting up with the rest of them at Swensens. Glad that I did not change my mind, she came out in the end! Said that she asked the guard to let her come out, haha. We passed her the presents and left for T3 for her departure. Took pictures and finally, she checked in. The girls were crying, including me. It's hard not to cry on an occasion like this. Well, we asked her to take pictures there and remembered to give us her address.
On one hand, I'm really glad that I manage to go in the end, on the other, it's really sad to see her go. One thing for sure is, I went or I'll regret my decision for a very long time.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
On Monday, it's CSA web page presentation. Seemed that my group was the most "formal" in the whole class... We were the 1st group to present and I think it went quite well. The teacher asked quite a lot of questions. Our web page looks really nice, even if I say so myself. Very professional, all thanks to the guys who are IT pros. http://csa.alphonse.info/
Accounting test at night was alright. Managed to finish it at the last minute. The lecture hall was very cold and my hands were frozen. I think I remembered all the format...
=) Till next time~

Dilemma
My close friend will be leaving for USA this Tuesday and I, most unfortunately, can't go and send her off... Time is just not on my side.
My Micro Econs class starts at 2pm and usually ends at 3.15pm. She is out from 3-4pm before checking in. By the time I leave the class, take a cab and reach the airport, she would have gone in.
My father told me to tell the teacher whether I can leave early, say 3pm. Well, I emailed him, if he don't approve, that's that then. I don't think the outcome would be any good, I thought it over, even leaving at 3pm, won't get me anywhere...
In my heart, I already know how bleak that chance will be. Furthermore, I'm not that kind of person who will skip class...That can be a good thing as well as a bad thing. When situations like this happen, I'll be trapped and end up on the loosing side.
I'm really in a dilemma. There's one way that I can guarantee will work. That's to get ill and get a MC on Tuesday. But that chance is almost zero... Guess I'll just let nature takes its course...
Chances of going is 0.01%

Rantings, Part 1
4 words: Don't like, Don't read
I was contemplating whether to post this entry and decided to go along with it since this is suppose to be my blog.
I. Badly. Need. A. Holiday, period. I'm sick, literally, and tired.
I'll be more than grateful to just have a day of break from the hectic life. But it's hardly possible now, unless miraculously, I fall ill (on a day without presentation or test). I'll get a MC and enjoy 1 or 2 days of utter peace and quiet.
Projects revolved around us...Now that the due dates are almost up, the workload is a little lighter now. Still, things get piled up and exams are nearly upon us...
There are just too many unhappy things that I can't write down here, yes, not even in the virtual world. It's like back to the same old dark days. I thought things would change for the better but it seems to just get worst...
Some things keep me sane like the soon-to-be released Breaking Dawn. I don't know what I'll be without books...
These few weeks had been tough for me. I don't get enough sleep and in turn doze off "everywhere" (during bus rides, during lectures, during tutorials). It a vicious cycle repeating itself. My body suffers and my mood just got worst and worst. I don't even feel like dealing with people anymore...I feel like crying, apparently for no reason at all.
Regardless of all these, I'm not regretting my choice, yet. I was thinking long-term when I made 'the choice'. If it will help me in the future, I don't mind what I'm going through now.
It's an emotion roller-coaster ride.
Till next time

Updates
Yesterday, my family went to Tampines Mall. My class will be having project presentations soon so I need to buy some formal wear and covered shoes. Isetan was having a Hokkaido Fair, really brings back great memories for the family. No regrets going to Hokkaido ever.
Isetan is only 2 storeys high and there was nothing much in there. Formal wear can't be found...
A pair of shoes caught my eyes though, size 7 was too big for me and size 6.5 and 6 was out of stock.
I just realise that open toes shoes is in season. The normally patronised Charles & Keith has a variety of these heels. Some looks really great but it not suitable for me, yet. Wish we do not need to wear covered shoes...honestly, how many office workers wear formal (long sleeved blouse and skirt/pants) to work? As long as a person is dressed in decent clothes, I don't see a problem in that.
Oh well, left 1 more weekend to shop. I have a problem, I'm going to blush, badly, in front of the class during presentation...

Stephenie Meyer's greatest creation
--The most anticipated novel since Harry Potter--
I just found out that Twilight the movie would start in Singapore on Christmas Day! 25th December 2008 is indeed a special day. I don't know if it had been confirm but at least the release date is not too far from that in USA (12th Dec). How fortunate that my friend will be in US by that time... I will certainly catch the movie, be it good or bad.
Breaking Dawn is scheduled to release in 2nd August! Though, I'm not too sure if that will be the case in Singapore. I hope that on 2nd August which, thank goodness, is a Saturday, I will get the novel. I must get it, I'll go down to Borders at Orchard Road just for it.
I wanted to pre-order it just in case it runs out of stock...You never know...
Well, this year is not so bad after all, what with all my favourite things happening around me. By August, my life will be great.
