.......
for my media TMA (Tutor Marked Assignment) 01. Asked a classmate to look thru and he said, I've written totally out of point for the last question.
On the bright side, at least I know now, and still have time to change since the paper is due on 5 Mar. At least, I know I've made mistakes and he has highlighted it to me and hence I can do my changes rather than get a big fat '0' for the marks right?
But still abit sad, coz I've really no idea what to write. =(

That I've OFFICIALLY finish the FIRST assignment for the silly "Learning to Learn" (COR154) as at this moment. The only thing that I need to do will be to find a way to submit to the lecturer!
I manage to actually find a software online to do mind mapping and complete it within 5 hours... I know lar, not fanastic, but today I downloaded and I can actually use it, I think it's quite a good attempt lei.
Next to tackle, my media module, since the assignment is due 5 Mar. But I think I'm almost done for that also, so not so bad. Just need to read thru and answer the rest of those that I did not answer. Hopefully, during the tutorial this week, will be able to gain abit more insights.
2 more online tests as well for next weekend.
Jia You! Jia You!!!

1 more Birthday Present
I should think this will be the last Bday present that I will be getting for this year... Tri came over to bai nian during the 3 day holiday of CNY. And she came with my Bday present.
Pretty hor? My favourite colour...There's some more...
Nice and cute right? A bowl set, complete with chopsticks and spoon, I almost din want to open it to use lei! But Tri encouraged me to do it...
The blue bowl is hubby's and it's slightly bigger than my pink one.
So nice, adorable and pretty!!!
Thanks Tri!

Wah Lau...
I've been sitting here for the past 3 hours just doing a silly question on "How does Mind Map improve thinking!"
Best of all, this silly question will only warrant me a Pass or Fail and I have to spend 3 solid hours thinking, reading, going thru notes and research! (Pass or Fail grade, I also HAVE and MUST pass lar.)
Still need to do an actual map to be submitted together.
Just a P/F grade and I spent 3 hours, no wonder for my 10CU paper, I spent 1 whole day... =(
I really really hope that this will not continue.

The heathiest thus far...
I think I'm getting tooo stressed out and not sure if Irene is aware, she suggested lunch at Subway, saying she only wanted salad for lunch. I was happy to join her for lunch, but was thinking, maybe more than "just a salad" maybe their sandwich then.
But when I reached there, checked thru the menu, erm... don't interest me lei.... so end up? I really got "just a salad"
Hmm... Of course I upgraded it to a meal, complete with drinks and 2 cookies, as the norm.
Anyway, not sure if it's Friday or is it after a verbal diarrohea yesterday, or the healthy greens, I'm not so stressed as yesterday.
Even had mood to joke with Irene and then went shopping in J8. Actually, not really shopping lar, I just needed to get some items from the "Hock Hua" and NTUC. By chance, we walked into Muji and I got some nice coasters at only $0.60 each! No kidding! I was thinking if I should get more, but I guess, only Hubby and me using, no need so many. 2 will be enough.
Managed to do up about 60-70% of one of my assisgment due early next week, quite happy about that, though I spent the WHOLE day just doing that using COMPANY's time. =S Imagine if I'm more busy now, how will I be able to manage to do that?
Thank God that now is still CNY mood for most colleagues, they are still either on leave or not in the mood yet, so I'm spared! hahahaha...
Finally it's almost time to go home... Probably making a simple dinner for tonite and then it's back to more mugging for me, tonite and tomorrow. Sunday, it's filled with plans for lunche and dinner, hence no time. Really got to mug with whatever spare time I have left now. =(
Oh!!! Did I mention that my sis IS helping me with stats? Thank GOD!!!

I'm HIGHLY stressed out.
I'm super duper highly stressed out N.O.W!
Thanks to the "super duper clever me" months ago when I was registering my papers, now I have a grand total of 4 modules for this sem. 75% of which are all half sem papers. And thanks to it, I have 7 projects (2 group work and 5 individual!!!) to be completed in MARCH 07! To be precise, the breakdown is like this...
3 Mar: COR154, Assisgnment 1 - Individual
5 Mar: TDSZ 151, Assisgnment 1 - Individual
9 Mar: BUS 105 AND BUS 201, Group Project(s)
23 Mar: BUS 105 AND BUS 201, Individual Projects! Complete with report, PPT slides AND a 8 min video clip ok!
31 Mar: COR154, Assisgment 2 - Individual
Yes!! I am HIGHLY stressed out for the month of MARCH.
Did I mention that I'll be having my F-I-R-S-T lesson of COR154 only on 10 March? The damn assisgment is due on 3 March!!!! My goodness, this is the FIRST time, I've ever heard of such a thing, haven't even gone for ANY class, lectures, whatever and then there's assisgnment?! So bloodly unfair! How would I know how to answer the damn question?!!!
ARGG!!!!!!
Someone, please remind me why on earth I ever took on such a crap timetable please?!
YA!! I know. My bloodly own stupidity! ARGG!!!
I feeling like crying, feel like I wanna tear all my hair out, feel like just banging my head (which is housing a not very clever brain) on the wall at this moment in time too! I feel like shooting my mgr & dir who got me into this situation too! If not for them to keep pestering me to GO and study, I definately will NOT be suffering like now!
ARGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, LEAVE me alone in March... (that's about 6 days later, in case you cannot count.)
The only, O-N-L-Y consolation I have? I only have 1 exam, written paper at the end of this Semester. Once, I clear the month of March with those freaking 7 projects, I'm almost done for this sem.
Thank God for small graces! AMEN!

Back to work
After the long CNY break, it's finally back to work today.
Feeling tired, dragged myself out of bed this morning, feel so envious of Hubby whose still asleep as I step out of the house! So to cheer myself up, I decided to deck myself in my CNY finnery! Was in everything new except for my bag.
Nice red top and a checked black,red & grey skirt. Pretty pretty is me, pretty pretty is my mood on the way to work too! Only thing is, then I started to realise the heels is giving me problems, the part where I 'kiap' my toes to the strap, is 'kiapping' me too! Gosh! Painful lei. =( So sad, this pair is one of my favourite pair among the lot I got for this year!
Worse, I still have lessons tonite, how to walk like tat, no choice, will be wearing the pair of super flat slippers to class.
Today is the first day of work, also is Ash Wednesday, since I'm having lessons, no choice went for the lunchtime mass instead. Hubby was there when I arrived. He was supposed to go for the evening mass but his training was cancelled so he can joined me.
Halfway thru, I began to feel very very sleepy. Must be the evil one at work, coz I seldome doze off when it's Fr Yim whose celebrating the mass. Anyway, I came back to office at only close to 2.15pm. Luckily, no one was looking for me.
The moment I stepped into campus, got a sms from my sup. Last min meeting with a teacher. Since I'm free then, joined them. Boring lar. The teacher is ok, I dislike his HOD. Irriating character. But then again, work is work, so still have to do what I got to do for them.
Just came back from class, reading some of the notes and then blogging. Feeling tired. But there's so much things to read. TONNES of materials and so many TMAs to be completed. Really feeling drained and yet, to be honest, my semester has just started.
*SIGH*

DAMN IT!
ARG!!!!! I'm so bloody pissed off!!!!!! Arggg!!!!
The stupid CITIbank has given me their SMRT credit card, which I've also linked up $20 to be charged everytime the value falls below 0. But I wanted to change it to $50 and hence I got to cancel the orginal amount and then go and re-apply for it.
Everything would have been great if the webby for the auto-top up is easier to use!! Argg!!! I've been searching for the last 1 hour for the silly darn webby!!!

First attempt at THE assignments...
Woo... Just completed the online assignments for my modules.... Think I should be one of the earlier ones to do it?
I even brought the books and notes to office hoping that I can steal a few moments to do some revision before doing it! But, I did not manage to read thru much. WORSE!!! I actually brought the WRONG module notes lor!!! So those rare moments that I was actually spending time on my notes, studies, I actually revised a module that has NO assignment this week!!!
*DANG!!!*
Just HOW clever can I possibly get???! -_-"
I was quite nervous about the 2 papers, especially stats.. hai... though the lectuer had done revision yesterday but I'm still not confident of the paper at all. For the other subject, Law, my group mate has already done it and she said it's ok, just make sure to have all the books and study guides, notes beside me, then should be ok.
Neverously, I attempted the Law assignment. *Phew* after a 1 hour attempt I've finally done it and I think should be able to pass lar. Don't think will pass very well, but will pass, I think.
Then for stats, I was still debating with myself to do it on Sat or to do it at the sametime... don't know why, I just did it. Woah!!!! I stress myself mann.. The assignment was well... Put it this way, if had gone for the Thursday class, definately can pass kind lor!!!
So happy!!!
Now, go and sleep liao. CNY is already here lorr!!! Time for me to go and slp and then enjoyzzz!!!

Damn it!
This IS a back dated post!
But I wanna record it down, so that I will NOT forget this. EVER.
To celebrate CNY, co had organised a festive dinner at the staff lounge. Lots of the staff were there, of course I went, despite having a good bday lunch that Godma and bro bought me to, in Sizzler earlier.
I saw TMDBK there as well and it took me a long long time before I finally convinced myself that since he is my mgr, I should give him the respect and should at least say Happy NY to him. I SINCERELY wish I'm not so respectful of him NOW!
The whole conversation went like this....
Me: Happy New Year! =)
BK: Happy New Year... I got your voicemail, when I heard your voice, I know u sure MC already. Sounded so bad.
Me: Yar. Voice was totally gone. Can only croak, very bad cough. Cough till lungs like coughing out. Doc said it's bronchititis.
BK: I saw your MC, 2 days. Then turn behind. WAH! Another 2 days. Last month, took 2 days MC already, now 4 days. You want to utlise all the MC days ar?
Me: No choice lei. Saw doc twice lei, finished all the med, but still cannot recover. Till now, still coughing. Somemore the med so expensive!
BK: You better take care ar. Be careful ar, can be crowned as our MC Queen already!
Me: *seething in anger* No choice lei. Really cannot recover.
BK: You know hor, you are considered lucky lei. Not all staff can be sponspred for a course not related to their work.
Me: *So? What you want IDIOT? Insulted me and then say this, wanna make me FOREVER grateful too you is it?! I respected u as my mgr so I came over to say Happy NY. Then kena your insults?! Insulted me and now remind me tat it was you who wrote the recommendation letter?! PUI!!!!!* Ya. I know.
BK: Last time were you sick so often? *I shook my head at this point.* Ever since you got chicken pox, your immunity very weak hor?
Me: Is it? I din notice lei. Maybe ba.
At this point in time, another staff came over and I walked away from this idiot.
Call himself a manager. No EQ lor. How did he ever get promoted till so high up?! Say all this during a festive celebration.
Before I heard him say all these, I can still convince myself to be respectful to him, now. 0 respect and I don't even intend to try to bring that respect up to 0.01%.
Insult me first then try to get me to be grateful to you?! I WAS appreciative to him for helping me to get a sponsorship before he say that. Now, no lor. NOT the least!
PUI!!!!!!!!
Here I am trying so hard to at least be cordial and respectful to him. No way am I even going to try from now onwards lor.

It's my Special Day =)
Guess who is the First person to wish me? Must be Clement & Family (during the SW Gathering last Friday) then followed by Tri, my dear friend and then Emma, Carol was the next! Alex took the 1st place in wishing me me on actual day itself! Followed closely by dear Hubby and after that my new project mate from the Contract and Agency Law, KH.
Feel so bless and happy that I've received so many Birthday wishes from the people around me! Don't know what hubby is gonna give me for my special day. But it seems that he may be getting me that nice brush holder I saw yesterday in City Link Mall. My guess is that he will bring me to go and get it later after lunch. hahaha
So not surprising lei. hahaha...
Update again when I lay my hands on it later... and see if it will be different from what I guess it will be!

Tis the day of Love
And how much more blessing it is for someone like me who has bday so close to Vday? Double the blessings I think!
Irene bought me a bday lunch earlier today from The Soup Spoon. It was my first visit there but I like the soups! I've seen the Soup Spoon in a few places but never had the chance to try anything.
Today, I finally had the chance to try it. Instead of the bread, I opted for the Naan which is equally good! Light, crispy on the outside and soft inside! Nice!!! I think they try to baked the Naan as close to the tradition method, but of course, they do not have the space for that kind of tranditional tandoor (clay oven) so what they have instead is a smaller golden cast clay oven inside the store. Looks expensive! ha!
So, our lunch for today?! Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff (Feels almost like eating fresh mushrooms out of the field. The mushrooms are so smooth, they glide down the throat. This soup is overpowering with the aroma of mushrooms perfect for mushroom lovers.) Beef Goulash (Prime beef cut stewed with the infamous paprika and loaded with starchy vegetables to make it a meal in itself.) complete with Naan! Woo! Very NICE!!! I wanna go back again and try their Tokyo Chicken Stew and the rest! Above all, I want MORE Naan! =)Then came the time for her to start looking in ernest for her boi boi's present. She already know exactly what she wanna get. But sucks, the 1st store we went in, don't carry the range, so NVM, we had a good lunch in Soup Spoon and then set off to look for it again. We were not very worried that we cannot find the other store, since we were in town. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps.
Well, steps we DID take. And it lead us to Suntech. Good walking, window shop and just chatting. Reached the store, found the item, she paid for it. She was happy, so was I for her and Mel. I'm pretty sure Mel will love it! He better la, 2 ladies walked all the way to the MRT stn and to Suntech just to get his Vday present lei!
We were on the way back to the MRT stn when something caught Irene's eyes. I was on a hunt to find a pencil case to stuff my items and all those I saw were like too big, too small, too short, too kiddy, too not my taste. I saw the same item she saw, just that I did not stop to look at it coz I was afraid of the price tag.
But I plucked up enough courage to look when Irene was there, strange how I function, if I was with hubby or alone, I'll probably not even take a look at the price tag coz I know hubby will be bored. But when there is the compamy of another lady, I went straight ahead to look. Slightly pricy but I shall not reveal the price till you take a look at it.
Tadahhhh!
Nice right?! Another closer view.
So how? Agree that it's nice right? Very class right? Should I get it for my stationery? Actually, this is in fact a cosmestic brush pouch. But looks just nice for my stationery too!Retail? $19.90. So how?! Get it or not???

MC MC
Yups people, I'm down again.
This time even more serious. Bad cough and according to the doc, it's bronchitis. Lots of blackflow from the flu and I got to start taking this "lungs expansion" medicine that will make my heartbeat go faster and hands tremble.
So no choice, the doc gave me the childrens' dosage for this 'lung expansion' med. Not bad tasting at all lei. Sweet liquid kind! haha.. But the cough medicince tastes horrid. YUCKS! It's not the normal cough syrup. But the bitter kind. Just YUCKS lor. Bleh!
Been to the doc this morning, and another 2 days of MC. This time, there is antibiotics to complete as well. =(
I tell you, it's not cheap to fall sick lor. REALLY!
This visit to the doc is $62!!! My goodness!
And not to mention, these 2 days will chalk up a grand total of 6 days of MC in just 2 months. Great isn't it?!

It's another gathering time!
But today was also the release of the 'O' level results so besides me going to a secondary school for the release and also to be there to give some counselling to the students who may need it, I was also kind worried for my sister.
Yups! She's waiting for it as well. Waited so long for her call, and when the sms finally came. Woo... Not bad. 18 pointer for 5 subjects. Not fanastic but decent to get into a poly course.
My fear was that she cannot even make it to a Polytechnic Education!!! Heng mann! Thank God! She still did relatively well enough to get into a poly. Now for her to choose which course and poly she wanna get in. Based on her results, not much choice too lar, but better than nothing.
Finally left the school at close to 4.40pm and then Sak and me took a bus to the MRT station and then we went to town.
Reached City Hall very early so since I was so early, I went to do some shopping for myself. =) Was walking around and I saw "Life Baby". Remembering that Vic's BB just arrived, I went in to see if I can get any BB item for his newborn prince and I got this.
Quite cute hor? Actually, I like another piece instead, but I felt that that piece was too thick for our SG March weather so I got this instead. Should be quite comfy, cotton. Having got a BB gift, I carried on with my lone shopping.
My next stop was to Fancl and making sure that I had my 20% discount voucher since it's my bday month, within 10 mins, I walked away with these...
Seems lots right? But actually hor, not alot lei. Just the usual stuff that I'm using all these time. Morever, all these is daily usage so run out very fast. So since I now have 20% off better make it my while. I just bought 2 bottles of the mild cleansing oil (make up remover), 2 bottles of the washing powder, 3 botles of tonner, 2 bottles of the moisturizer and lastly, a pre-packed of 3 boxes of facial blotters. All in, $207!
BUT!!! I have the double stamps bonus, which earned me 10 stamps... else, I will have to spend $400 just to earn that amount of stamps! Oh!
Forgot to mention that I bought a limited edition facial puff to go with all these... (I change my puff with every bottle of powder, abit wasted maybe but cleaner and more hygenic!)This time, most likely for the upcoming Valentine's Day, the mentioned puff is a sweet nice shade of lilac heart. Quite pretty hor? Anyway same price for the limited edition or normal hence I took this and the normal Pink puff.
Saw online that they have the AP papers as well and I took 3 packs from them! Thank God, they have, else I will have to go and buy! This year is a AP paper shortage year! Can't seem to find any left at home and we din want to pay for it... coz no one will appreciate how nice the paper is (probably except for my mom, who COLLETS AP paper!) so.. since got free ones, GOOD! Can save me a few dollars in just buying AP papers! The Fancl papers also quite pretty hor? Japanese version.... Quite cute lor. So when we give this away next week, ppl will know I'm a Fancl user.
Having purchased this in Robinsons, (where I am entitled to further 5% coz of cardmember's discount) I popped by Clarins to check if my item is here. Goody goody!!! It's here and I got it as well.
I only bought the pink lips gloss and the rest of all those things are free gifts! Not bad hor?? Happy!!
Checked the time and I was still early for the dinner gathering in the Vilage, popped into Red Earth, Espirit. Hee...
Got myself these 2 nail polish. Just nice for CNY. It's a buy 1 get 1 free, ya see! And I like the shades when it's on my fingers.
Well, what can I say?
It's a GOOD shopping afternoon!!! =)
Finally, went on my way to meet the rest of the SW gang for dinner. The venue was changed from The Marche in Suntec to the Vilage in Hereen (which is the exact location as of the previous Marche. Even the setting was the same.) Management is saving $$$ by just changing name, no need to even change decor and food stalls!
Food wise, nothing much to say. About the same as Marche. Even the concept is the same, you get in only if you have the card and then you exit when you 'surrender' that card at the cashier. Though food was so-so, we had fun! Lots of fun.
That is, if they could stand me in my croaky voice.
Heh! I got an early bday cake too! This got to be my EARLIEST Bday present this year!! No one can beat that! Thank you, Dear Clement, Wiselyn and my dear dear Godchild!
A picture is always louder than words, so here is the one and only nice, decent, clear group shot of most of us (some left, some came late) so... presenting the one and only group shot!
Tadahhhh!!!Standing(LtoR): Alex, Clement, James, Mabel, Young Caroline.
Seated(LtoR):Novia, MOI, Wiselyn & Godchild =).
Novia happened to be doing her degree in Uni SIM too! And she gave me some tips or rather advises on how to handle my studies. Boy, after chatting with her, I feel lagi more stress!!!
But, I don't wanna think of all those yet, just do what I can... and meanwhile, enjoy the process of going back to school. At the moment, I'm kind of enjoying that moment!
Great meeting you people, must have more such gatherings!

After a week...
This week has been a erm.... a week of missed/hurried dinners, datelines, sick, travelling hours on the bus. Well, not hours acutally, but still lots lar, as compared to the time that I usually spendt on bus this week as compared to other times.
Lessons has started proper since Monday. I realised that for me to reach campus BEFORE the start of the class, I will need to leave office by 5.30pm, 5.40pm latest. Else, when I left office at 5.45pm, walked over to AMK to catch a bus, I was 2 mins late and the lecturer had already begun his speech on his introduction amongst other things. Thanks to the massive jam along Bukit Timah road... all the branded schools are there, the parents driving equally branded cars waiting along the roads for their kiddies...
I just realised through my other course mates and friends, I'm putting quite a lot on my plate for this current term (2 terms in a Semester, a sem is about 4,5 months). Though, they are also taking 3 or 4 modules, (depending on the credits, we are only allowed to take a max of 20 CU per sem) their modules are spread out like 2 modules this term, another 2 the next term (for 4 modules) and those taking 3 will be like 1 module this term, another next term and the last module for the full sem.
While MY timetable reads, 2 modules THIS term and 1 module for the full sem. -_-" Don't ask me how come my timetable like this... I have no idea why I picked the way I did when I was doing it! I seriously cannot remember why I picked it this way... Maybe it's the inexperienced? The don't want to take all exam papers at the end of the sem, want to split it up??? I cannot remember!
SO, yar... My timetable is packed from now till end of March, on all the Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Then after that, I will only have lessons on Wednesdays till May which is the exams and then I can say "Bye Bye" to sem 1. That is of course, if I manage to clear ALL these modules I'm doing.
I think, it's really been a long time since I last stepped into a tutorial or lecture room mann. Gosh.... I suddenly felt as though I was back in Primary, eh.. no.. too long ago. Secondary school more like. We are using NP facilities currently and gosh... NP looks nice outside, but when inside... I especially hate the walking up stairs, slopes, down stairs, slopes bit! But thank God, it's all sheltered. So even if it's raining, it's not so bad. But I do like NP for the spacious blocks! They have soooo much space and the campus is really sprawling all over!
In fact, most of my lessons are conducted at NP instead of SIM. =( But the classrooms looks kind of old... I was surprised to note that they even have window grills in the classes! haha... Like so mis-matched in my opinion.
Lessons are pretty all right. Thank God, I manage to make some new friend, else will be very longely and when the time comes for the forming of project groups, think I will be nervous. But at least now, there's a few ppl (actually only 2 from 2 module lar)that I know from 2 modules and I think most likely we will be able to work together on that. So not too bad.
Feb is a short month but the lessons are not short. Imagine, I got to go back for lessons on Vday & my Bday nt week as well?! They don't change time slots at all! There is 1 session which fall on CNY and the 1st Sat in March will be the make up lesson! NO BREAK!!! Worse, I think I have 2 online assignments which I have to complete and submit by the first day of CNY.
And, according to the timetable, gosh.... my first 3 Saturdays in March are all burnt!
Sad. Sad. Sad lar. But no choice right? Really is no choice right?! So what to do? Grit and bear through it ba.
But, come to think of it, maybe it's the novety of doing something different for the time being, I'm kind of enjoying some of my modules lei. Particularly, I think the Mass Communication will be interesting. Lecturer said that we will be "breaking" advertisments and their meanings. Sounds tough, but hey! She promised lots of music, advertisments, movie watching time DURING class!
I think that's a good sign. I'm pretty sure, the lessons will be interesting!
Laws gave me headache even before the start of the class... and that resulted in a 2 day MC... but thank God, I made 2 friends there and we already said we shall form a group. With groupwork, I think the headache and heartache of the module will be reduced.
Done the Statistics for the first time in my entire life last nite.... erm... Definately need to buck up on this one.... all the terms are making my head & eyes swim. Not to mention that super duper statistics student version software that I also saw we are expected to use for the first time last nite.
I think... I can forgive myself for being blur as a sotong for the time being... hey! It's the first class of the module! Cannot be expecting me to know every single thing right?! More ever, I'm a FIRST year student too!
Now, my role besides doing revision for all those 3 modules that were taught for this week, is to go and find and arm myself with nice name stickers (of course bearing MY name lar!) and a pencil case.
I think this will make me more enthu about studying, picking up the books, reading and writting!
hahaha....

update
Haven't been blogging much these days. Kind of tried and also nothing much interesting to blog about since the previous entry about the facial.
Lessons @ UniSIM has just began on Monday and just after a day, no, should say night, I'm tired out. Seriously! Lesson usually start at 7pm most times and by the time we end it's 10pm, some groupings, discussions, clarifying with the lecturer on somethings, it's already close to 10.30pm by the time I leave campus. By the time I'm safely home, it's already 11pm lor.
After bathing and all, it's time to sleep and wake up for a brand new day. Not to mention, I try to do a bit of revision that was covered during the lesson earlier and also try to prepare for the next lesson.
Kind of miserable life as I think of it now. Especially, since, this will be the kind of life that I'm expecting for the next 3 years. But like what others have previously done and advise.
"Just clentch your teeth and get it over with!"
Not an easy life, but I guess, there is really no choice since, I have already chosen this life.
And guess what? Just after the first lesson, no I should say before the first lesson, I have had this nagging headache on my right that just won't go away. Since I was in the sun earlier that day, I thought it was the sun. Ate a panadol but no use. The worse is, the headache 'ran' to the left yesterday! For the whole day, I bear with it. Finally, cannot take it anymore, went to the doctor after dinner at my PIL's place.
Doc's verdict?! "Over stress" Heh! Before the first lesson, already over stress??! Then how am I going to manage for the rest of the year?! Wah lau....
Win lor. My body so weak... Anyway, I'm given 2 days MC, for today and tomorrow. So, now resting at home. Read thru the notes for tonite... chatting on MSN and also watching this Japanese show "1 Litre of Tears".
According to tears sis, this is a very very sad show of a real life story. Her advise, "Prepare lotsa tissue from episode 4 onwards"

Not again...
Following my 2 days MC not too long ago... in fact less than a month ago. I am now officially down again. =(
This time is the starting of the flu, miagraine and slight fever. (Last time was the eye infection!) SO yeah, I have officially claimed 4 days worth of MC in less than 2 months since the year has begun.
If I am the boss, I will be darm pissed mann! 2 days just before the mad house and now another 2 days just before the JAE.
I have no idea what is wrong with me.. I know I've been sleeping late, was trying to read some course notes before the start of the class... Doc says, I must have been too stressed and also lack of sleep. I think the lack of sleep is right. Stress... I think she must be right too.
I think I must have been too worried about the lessons.... So, in the end, what do I get? 2 days worth of headache which started on the right then "ran" to the left!
*Sigh*
How come I so weak wan?!

Shopping Saturday
Hit the town with my sister this afternoon, after Hubby left for JB for don't know what seminar with his friends.
Sis wanted to get a watch and she had a $100 City Chain vouchers, so we went to look see. Well, she finally bought it after much comparisions. She was also looking for either capri or 3/4 pants and we went to Isetan to look around too.
Found a few that looks nice but she looks horrible in it and all those are not cheap kind, like almost $40 for a pair. But, luckily for her, she looks ugly in it, so no need to buy lor. Hahaha.. Then I found the one that I bought at the AMK hub, found it in her size and she tried that on as well. BASKET lor!!! I bought it at $23 while Isetan selling it for $19.90!!! My $3!!!
The best is, my sis looks horrible in all the expensive ones, but this cheapo one, suits her well! >.<>
Dinner was at Peppers' Lunch. Not bad, except we smelt of BBQ meat after walking out. I was on the search for a pencil case and some stationery, but cannot find anything interestint at all.
Anyway, after buying $250 worth of Robinsons vouchers meant for Aw's housewarming gift this coming Saturday, we called it a day. Best is Robinsons don't have vouchers in $50 demoninations. So, no choice, got to get 25 pieces of $10.Heh!! Thick lei, that envelope!
Aunites are aunties! On the way home, this particular aunit kept squeezing me and my sis and then when there was a seat, she snatched it away from us!!
Wah Lau!!! Heng, I not very tired and also in quite a good mood! Else, I will also play the snatching game with her! Bleh!!! Aunties!
The whole of today, besides dinner and drinks, I did not spend $$$ on anything lei! Bought nothing home.
Don't know should be happy or sad. =S Shopping without spending $$$ very sian and very unsatisfiying lei.
But, good is, save $$$!
