Monday's coming again :( Spent my weekends on other things as usual, OH WELL. Volunteered on Saturday, ST run on Sunday. So much thoughts now, must record it down before I forget everything.

It's kind of sad how our parents are growing older and I really didnt think about it till recently. Was talking to my mum about what am I going to do in the future and then kidding about how they will be like in the future... Became a little sad when I thought about how they will become less fit/mobile. Volunteering on Saturday made me even more sad when I see old people losing their freedom to move. And how some old people end up having nothing much left to look forward. Came to a realisation why people want to get married, the want/need to not be alone maybe oh well.

Sighhhh maybe life is too short to do anything you don't like. How sad is it that most people don't do things they love cause they have no idea what they like (including myself). Doing things that you don't hate cause you don't know what you like. Reading the market behaviour textbook and then realised I was actually interested in Market Research. And then I realised people don't really take Marketing to do that. Psychology hmm. Maybe should just go further my studies in Psychology after working for a few years in the future. But then again I don't even know whether I am really interested in it. Okay, shall just see how.

ST run on Sunday at Punggol Waterway. OMG waking at unearthly hours which is 5am omggg. Caught the second bus to Sengkang in an attempt to be punctual. The scenery along Punggol wasn't that bad, but didn't like running there cause of uneven lands and wooden bridges (upslode arghhhh). Running alone erm.. Yes eating alone is therapeutic but running alone is not. Can't tell people this cause it's too embarrassing. The last km was super torturous and there was no one to scream at me to "HOLD ON" Shall wait for the official time to be out.

Okay, tiring day, good night.

Feeling so sleepy even before 11pm. I have no idea whether it's the hormones or I am just not used to school. Oh well. Here to waste some time when I become more awake.

Time flies and it's the second week of school and I feel I am lagging behind already :( I spent my first week lazing around because I didn't have much school. Then I realised there's a lot of things to be done. Like Accounting quiz next week omgggg. 3rd week only, are you kidding me SIGHHHH.

I know I probably should stop complaining cause I am so lucky to get the good accounting tutor :) That's the only small victory I have with Star Wars. Seriously my luck for Star Wars is crappy. Couldn't get POM or Career Foundation even though it was a one in five chance. The excuse they give me for career foundation is really retarded arghhhh. Let's hope I still get to do PA and go on exchange. Submitted my application super early. Kind of want to go Taiwan/Korea/Japan more than HK actually. But it's not like I will get HK since everyone wants it (for clearing modules).

Finally had lessons for every single of my module! Malay wasn't that bad but I think I have to S/U it cause I obviously can't learn a language so fast. Genes R Us just reminds me of the A level bio days, hmm. Market Behaviour was quite interesting but it's going to remind me of OB EWWWW. Accounting II er, accounting is always chim but hey it's maths! Okay I think I weirdly like maths but not enough to do BnF or Actuarial or major in maths.





The past weekend was awesome. Colour Run on Saturday which was free thanks to a friend :) Not bad getting colours all over myself. Unique experience but I won't participate in it again. The goodie bag is not that awesome anyway. Okay some photos hehe.




Didn't manage to get the green and blue dye during the run. The blue powder was from like the finish line festival. Ohhh Before You Exit performed and I must say, they look so much better in real life than in photos. Shall check them out when I am more free ;) Not bad huhhh, they write their own songs. 

Then spent Sunday visiting GP tutor and playing lawn bowl. So tempted to pick up some sport now. Not forgetting looking at wine. I feel so old now. It's really kind of entertaining when the gp tutor started talking to you about wine hahaha. Like the last time we were still underage erm kids. Had island creamery icecream. YAY TO FATS. I really like the chendol flavour HAHA WEIRD TASTE. But nothing can beat rum and raisin from Salted Caramel, I feel. 

Okay probaby an incoherent post, good night. Time for more studying oh well.

First week of school which I only have to turn up in school for three times cause I don't even have enough AUs. And then now, I have enough AUs but I don't want to do comm fund oh well. :(

Just finished my exchange essay and hand up my choices for exchange. Putting HK on the top on my list cause it looks like I can clear the most number of modules and I can be back in Singapore by May. Not that I love Singapore so much, but it's cause I can't clear my Professional Attachment in December cause the school refuses to give me Career Foundation.

Every single day I am staring at the slots on STARS planner as if I am looking at stocks on stock exchange market. ARGHHH how lameee. But maybe I should be glad for Accounting slot. And learning Malay this semester woohoo.

My skin is so cui, probably should stop taking caffeine for fun and sleep earlier and maybe run tomorrow morning. Need to train for my runs. Colour run on Saturday :) And then Straits Times Run the week after. Hopefully it will be fine and I can run all the way!

Nighttt.

I wish the title is true. Can't believe I see someone tweeting about how she is looking forward to studying. Wtf seriously. Nvm, moving on to happier things.

Things I have accomplished this summer! :)

1. Visit USS- checked :) So happy that there was a sale in NTU and that we went there on the first Monday of my summer holidays. Love the adrenaline rush, love the company too.


2. Learn how to drive- Yesss passed BTT (stupid e-trial that freaked us out) and passed FTT too.

3. Watch TVD and the channel U drama haha - TVD checked, too lazy to go Xinmsn to watch the drama hahahaa.

4. Read some books.
(Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, For One More Day and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, Delirium by Lauren Oliver)

5. Finally get to swim- Almost forgot how awesome swimming can be. But tanlines can be slightly ugly if they are longer than your shorts :( NO not my shorts short, the tanline really longer than FBTs.

6. Check out tulipmania at gardens by the bay- Haha headed to Gardens by the Bays twice!!! Once for tulips, once for CIP. Really love how flowers smell. But tulips still better than the flowers exhibition in June.
Awesome company at Gardens by the Bay. Pardon my fat legs


Mandatory jumpshots for places with space teehee




7. Get a job- Checked. Worked for one month at Tokio Marine, really preferred AXA though. The welfare at AXA was (Y) FREE FRUITS. But glad that I could eat lunch with Jia Hui everyday ^^

8. Finally stop being lazy and maybe bake something hahaha- Made pizza hmm.

9. Tried Paris Baguette's royal pudding and some of their pastries. Was not bad but I felt that it was overrated :(

Okay didn't manage to try the list of cafes I wanted to try and still haven't go to Timbre!! Already thinking of things to do during the break! Must try some of the cafes the next time when I am free!

Other worthy mentions:

1. Changed my spectacles
2. Headed to KL with friends (shall maybe blog about this soon and upload the limited number of photos)

Good nighttt. And AB0602, you really suck.

Travelling has to be good for your soul. Leaving for KL for a short trip in two days' time. Will be back on National Day when dearest Singapore is 48 years old.

Was reading Ladyironchef's blog as usual and spent some time reading his overseas posts. Someday I will be going to HK and Macau. Okay I went HK once but someday I will go back there with a few friends or alone! Read some post about Taichung, now I really kind of want to go TW for exchange hehe. Okay study hard then :/

Welcome Day tomorrow. Can't wait for it to be over so I can go home and run hahaha. Nighttt :)

Will miss reading during the holidays. Love how the words in the books and certain songs make so much sense.

Finished reading For One More Day, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Storyteller and Delirium this holiday :) Actually read some Catherine Lim book too but I can't remember the title oops. Really love the rest of the books I read this holiday. For One More Day and Tuesdays with Morrie were so inspiring, like really make you think about whether you are doing what you really want. The Storyteller was so omg, so proud of Jodi Picoult now hehe. It was more of justice vs mercy I guess. Delirium was like some tragic love story which takes place in somewhat futuristic society. Just finished it and was crying when I read the last two pages SIGHHH.

"You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart."

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted."

"I realize that i do believe in people. In their strength to help each other, and to thrive in spite of the odds. I believe that the extraordinary trumps the ordinary, any day. I believe that having something to hope for- even if it’s just a better tomorrow- is the most powerful drug on this planet."

"But forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, you’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me. It’s saying, you don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future."

"It's so strange how life works: You work something and wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in the moment before things changed. "

"I know that life isn't life if you just float through it. I know the whole point- the only point- is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go."

"You have to go forward: It's the only way. You have to go forward no matter what happens. This is the universal law. "

Shall start on The Casual Vacancy later today. And hopefully I get to swim too :) Oh kind of want to read Lang Leav's work, The Timekeeper and try reading John Green's books. 

Oh anyway found Lady Antebellum's When You Got A Good Thing. HOW SWEET. Play this at my wedding if it ever happens HAHA. Okay too much sugar (ice cream and sweets and maybe cause it's too late at night) okay good nightttt.
