Am I still unstable?
Last night I was rushing for today's Urban Design presentation. I did til 6 plus and caught a little nap before going to sch... abit late for lecture. den after that rushed the ppt slides again. And later to my horror, one fren told me I missed the tutorial after the lecture.... ops... I tot is next week... shucks. And I was so blur, luckily Weiqiang kept me updated and even chose a chapter for me to do. haha~ Thanks manz!! Otherwise I think I'll be plunged into a state of helplessness again. With that insecurity, who knows what will become of me again. So this time Weiqiang is my saviour~~ ahaha~~
haiz i realised my phone went abit crazy again... most probably becos yesterday night i was so dead and accidentally dropped it to the floor... I didnt realised it was attached to my ears via the headphones as I were listening to 93.3 fm. (see, that's how tired I am). so juz now some ppl tried calling me but it will shut off halfway. when i on it again and call the person, it will ring abit and then shut off again!!!!!!! OH MY goodness~ almost the same problem I haf last time! Dun tell me I spoilt it again and have to pay another 70 plus bucks to repair! NO way!! USO!!!!!Uso uso uso uso~~~~~ *faint*
Will that sad mind, I stepped into the room and prepared to present the ppt slides. The teachers said my grp still need to improve in alot of areas, starting from defining certain things. haiz.... more work...
Besides that, we were told to do 2 more assignments of other modules one... wah sian...
I reached home dead beat... and dunno why i juz wanna stuffed myself with rocky road ice-cream. ok, i shouldnt use the word 'stuffed', sounds too crude or make me sound as though I am harming myself. I ate 2 cups of it heeheeeheee..... 1 hour later, which is now, is almost the time for dinner....
This CNY is going to be a very busy one, not busy getting ang baos, not busy visiting ppl, not busy eating goodies but busy in getting headaches and stress.
Haiz.... my hp wanna die liddat but it seems if the calling is not activated, it seemed ok leh.... alot of ppl say it's time to change phone, but then the sunk cost of this phone is too high for me to change... sigh..........
this post is making me seem like a big buaya somehow... =P nvm lor... buaya den buaya lor... heck care... and wah lao... expect me to find a jap gf ah?? hahahaha dun lar... i can't speak jap... yet... =P
hey i juz complain a bit only lar... as in i KNOW that my life isn't too bad... juz need to let out some steam... itz juz the feeling that kinda hits u from time to time... =)
i post to the wrong blog... wat the hell... so much for tab browsing...
hey... dun be so blur lar... hahahaha~~ (look whoz tokking...) keep a small note book that keeps track of ur schedule?? =) think it should help~~
and try to let loose a bit during CNY lar... dun juz bz urself wif work~~ make time for ur family and relatives and frenz~~ it only happens once a yr~~ and u should let urself take a break most imptly...
if ur hp really alwayz break down den might as well change?? is ur phone contract ending yet?? if yesh den juz go trade in and change to a new one that is more reliable lor... if not everytime 70 bucks repair fees also quite bad in the long run...
Hahahhaaa... Ed very funny!!! Post in wrong blog... Blur blur...
Sigh... Our schedules are crazy... SO much to do... Gets really tiring. Maybe my life's still better than urs. Jul, try to relax more ya? It's easier said than done but well, don't get too hung up on work.
I'm going crazy too... Headache... This is the worst part. Can't even stay up to do work. Feeling rather depressed most of the time. I know how u feel. Like you're too tired to do anything but u got no choice. Well take care yahh... *pats pats* Hope to see u soon! Anyway u oso must take care... Ur 21st bday coming soon! Hehehee..
yoyo mich~~~ yar lor ed is another blur person... he's my son mah~~ whahahaah.
yar, the drilling schedule is horrible but haha muz psycho our brain that "wow, interesting! Come on, chong and do the homework!!" That kinda thing. It helps many times. haha
Ehz~~ mich ar, dun remind me 21 liao ar, feel soooo old... But once I reached 21, I think i will try to be a more matured person. I strive to change myself to a better person. yep.... some 21-yr old resolution thingy haha~
The sunk cost will only get higher if you don't change phones la. Sooner or later its going to become unrepairable anyway. Might as well trade in, sign contract, and pay that $70 for a brand new phone..
And edwin.. what the *BEEP* was that?? Haiz.. so disappointed in you. But then again, where were you planning to post on?
haha he planning to put that in his own blog...
no wonder read the same things...i thought poor ed is getting distracted by his jap schmates. Eh, don't lose ur concentration deh, still got to pass those exams. yeah, its a busy period for u all. Sigh~! when will we ever be free??
