today is the last day of the month...and if the uncle at the food stall is telling the truth, tomorrow the stall will be taken over by a new tenant. and i will not have their YUMMY kuehs for my tea breaks every sunday anymore!!! *boos
yesterday's cip was well, almost a cip. went there with hup since mad was sick with all kinds of sickness. coughing, sore throat, flu and you know what.( take care dear~) anyway, turns out the student centre do not really require our help, but they are still willing to let us come down and claim our cip hours doing unimportant stuff like accompanying them to watch television. -_-"
as human beings with integrity, we decided that we should not earn our cip hours this way. so i guess the tutoring sessions are cancelled. oh well, library, here i come again... today's econs makeup lecture was ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! mrs lim was going like a bullet train but her essay outlines are *whit-wiuuuuuuuu* not forgetting that she did them at 12 midnight last night somemore sia~ bu2 kui4 shi4 wo3 men2 de4 lao3 shi1. =)
feeling very motivated to study hard for econs this time round. shall REWRITE all my essay outlines, LOOK THOROUGHLY through the lecture notes, REDO the mcq tys and LOOK THOROUGHLY through the tutorials. =)
go go liwen!
was hanging out in the JE regional library with weina and mad after our lunch...we were looking for some books to read during the holidays and we had quite a fruitful trip! =) and i forgot that the book loan quota has been extended to 8 books, or else i'd have taken more! =S
anyway, dear-sweet-sweet-nice-nice weina and dear-sick-sick-get-well-soon madeline picked out a book for me, titled A GUIDE TO PORTUGAL.
*achems* let me share with you my findings. =)

other facts: -Portugal gained independence in 1185. -Portuguese people are friendly, hospitable, polite and kind to strangers. In addition, Portugal is not a country where you feel threatened as, despite the perceptions of some, crime rates are relatively low. Cost of living in Portugal is also lower than that to Northern Europe. -Reckless driving and inconsiderate smokers is one of the negative points about the country. -Few areas have piped gas apart from Lisbon and its surrounding area. -their telephone numbers start with a 2 and then consist of another 8 digits. -The Portuguese have their lunch usually from 1-3pm and dinner from 8-12mn, though it is usually around the time of 10pm. -Their traditional products includes ceramicsm tiles, porcelain, wickerwork, embroidery, glasswork, wrought-iron, hand woven fobuls and leather goods.
Getting Portuguese nationality -You must be at least 18 years old. -Lived in Portuguese territory with valid residence permit for at least 6 years, for citizens of Portuguese-speaking countries, or 10 years for citizens of other countries. -To be able to show sufficient knowledge of the Portuguese language. -To be able to prove that a 'substantial link' exists with the national community. -To have civil responsibility -To have the means to provide for one's livelihood

the newspaper reports that you are thinking about leaving to either Barcelona or Real Madrid...
NOO!!!!!
dont go!!!
on the one hand, Spanish football embraces the style of football that you fancy...the fancy footwork and your fast dribbling skills...
English football is more of a straightforward kind...pass the ball and score. i know that you've been lamented at by your teammates for holding on the ball for too long with your fancy footwork. but isnt that what's special about you?
your sudden spurt of energy always gets me jumping up from my seat when i watch you play. i love seeing how you create a lot of trouble to the full-backs. i especially love seeing you run up the flanks from 30 yards to the penalty box. i always anticipate seeing your free kicks, which always surprises me. Remember the time you scored with an S-shaped kick? *wow*
starhub broadcasts mostly EPL live matches...if you move to Spanish Football, i cant watch you on tv every weekend anymore...the SL timings are so irregular...=(
stay true to your heart, and play beautiful football.

mum jus called me to tell me dere's a fair selling jewellery at another suntec convention hall...*whoopie* i want to go see!!! =PppP
-- dis morning was a total FLOP. nj has jus outdone her record of mis-organising their activities. wee yippie hurray.
enrichment signup was a flop passion pursuit was a flop last year's CIP day was a flop even many other college activities were flops too.
today is a FLOP. chiong my LUNCH at 10.15am. so that i can make it in time for the phy makeup at 12pm.
Flop no.1 : the time was changed to 11.30am and a lot of us DO NOT KNOW. do not say "see? never pay attention during lectures" TOO early...cause IT'S EXACTLY BECAUSE we listen during the lectures that we got it wrong! apparently, the phy lecturers find that putting up the ppt slide with the details during every lecture means that they have the right to change the details without informing us?
i do not care whether you say that we schould check it regularly. I mean, once we copied it into our notebooks, we would assumed that it's finalised right? afterall, you announced it yourself.
so you cant blame us for coming in late. and if i flunk my paper because i do not understand that chapter, it's because YOU guys are a flop.
floppity flopppity flop.
Flop no. 2: how am i suppose to have my lunch before 11am and then listen to a lecture for 2 hours and then continue on for another 3 hours of a different subject and still be alive after it all? wouldn't my brain socket fuse short circuit or something?
Okay, so i forgive you for flop no.2. but i must emphaszie that the reason why i am still sitting here typing in my blog is not because i survived the ordeal! BUT BECAUSE OF another flop no. 3 and 4.
Flop no. 3: phy ended at 1.15pm. right...you might as well begin later right? so that i can have my lunch later. since i reached the LT late, i only sat down for less than 1 hour before the lecture was over. -_-"
flop no. 4: chem ended early too! *sigh* should i rejoice or should i sigh and shake my head and go...again???
--
boo-boos aside, i met dix and wan hsin at JP today!! *wee...they are as pretty as ever...and i was jus telling them that i haven been in ctc wif ally lately, and ally smsed me. creepy!
cant wait for go out with all the peeps i know exist on earth. WE GONNA ROCK THIS GSS!!!!!!!! *muah*

folded 5 cranes today for the cip. 45 more to go...honestly, i find it a very pathetic way to earn my cip hours...this kind of cip is for those people who are really desperate like me. =)
besides this, i signed up to tutor for kids at a childcare too. cant wait to see those kids! yippie~
hee. dis week my parents wont be home til 10pm everyday. the last time when they went overseas for a weekend to Msia, all hell broke loose. heehee... i skipped meals, woke up really late and slept really late too. that entire weekend, all i did was watch the television everyday. =P
well, i sure hope that i am able to control myself this time around. no time to waste! CT is here!
*yikes* and i am giving myself unneccessary stress again!
on a lighter note, GREAT SINGAPORE SALE IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *muah muah muah muah* there are so many things to buy at discounted prices, perfect for cheapos like me. =) haha...and i was so cheated by the newspaper.
*gumbles*
on thur, urban reported that the triumph seamless bra was going at 39.90 for 2 ( usual price was 79.90 each). wow! that's a SUPER huge bargain! not to mention how comfortable that bra is. anyway, liting and her fren went there on fri and it turned out that the newspaper had reported wrongly and it should've been 39.90 for 2 t-shirt bra. Boo! and i was so happy and telling everyone to go get it in the morning in sch. sigh.
anw, world book fair is here and there are so many books to buy dere. haha...my mum spent 15 worth of magazines yest cos they came with so many free gifts...haha...tmr i'm going dere and i assure you, i'm not coming home empty-handed. =)
