the silence was deafening, but not anymore.
it's been immensely quiet here.. but i'll probably be blogging more this week. finally, my first term break in this degree programme's here.
the last day of school (for the first half of this term) felt like any other last day of school. for some maddening reason, everyone was busy taking group photos, perhaps because we knew we aren't gonna be seeing each other very much when the other half of the term starts. :( perhaps i'll post some group pics in my next entry once i get them all collated from the people who took them. heheheh.. pics of the last day of school plus pics of the dramatisation we did! memoriesss..
i went to send the 2 overseas lecturers off last night, along with loads of other people of course! and had popeyes after tt for supper, after which i headed straight to bed woops :X it's been like this over the past few days because i've been rushing assignments and having 2 hours of sleep per night, with the remaining 6 hours of sleep per night under "you-can't-make-up-for-it" mode since i'm not someone who can sleep for 2 days straight. so well, what's done's done, what's gone's gone too.
digressing, doo and i caught money no enough 2 last friday - a little local entertainment doesn't hurt sometimes. and surprisingly, or perhaps not so surprisingly, when i woke up the next morning and logged on, i saw on the news at yahoo! singapore that the labour minister says that increasing the wages of singaporeans isn't the way to go. HOHOHO - speaking of "yahoo!" - if anyone's feeling the pressure of inflation, that has to be me - a fellow Singaporean. this entire issue sprouts from the fact that i stupidly stupidly requested for the exact same amount of an allowance as what i was getting 2-5 years ago. if u're thinking wth, then yes, it proves that great minds think alike.
well, the new clothes still keep coming, nevertheless. because i simply cannot live without new things to wear i think :) anyway, i took some pics of myself in.. ^-^ a new electric blue beach dress with rainbows and stars on it! unfortunately it can't be seen through the pics. apparently i was more focussed on showing off the zebra phone - i'm thinking of changing the skin to black - the original colour of my phone T_T because the zebra stripes were supposed to be a dull silver/black.. not a striking ah lian white/black. oh this brings back memories of the days when i went to school with my phone hidden in my bag because i thought the skin looked hideous. a classmate of mine consoled me by saying that the longer she looked at it, the better she felt it looks. so ah. maybe that's the case with me as well, but my previous opinions of it comes back to haunt me sometimes.
the plan for this week is to:
1) get immunised against hep B - something i'd need to do before i fly to Boston next year anyway.
2) meet up with Jiahui, and hopefully Rebecca soon too!
3) meet up for dinner with jane, shereen and cheryl - much missed!
4) meet up with Ailay!
5) go back to the place where i worked for the past 1.5 years for an afternoon.
6) go to Sentosa with the current clique of 8 people from both classes combined.
7) alter the 6 pieces of clothing i have.
8) hopefully watch the mummy and to visit wild wild wet.
