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. =)

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
