Classics of Julie + a withering one
oh well, for once i tot i was out of stupid cock ups after all these years..... ALL THESE YEARS!!! in fact, only 5 years....... ONLY??? it's alot.... k k.... But at least I dun make such mistakes in serious stuff as in my academic work and in school. as for talking with schoolmates, quite rare and none will notice if i make any mistake.... cos in the first place i didnt get to speak alot to them. and when i did for example some meals after crit etc, it happens that luck is on myself then, speaking fluently without mistake. I think i let out my stupidity side in front of my JC classmates and also the interaction chances are higher, so more mistakes seen. And cuz i turned off my alertness to save my brain power when i'm tired, knowing that they will always help me catch mistakes and watching out for me on roads etc.... haha~~ The happiness of dependency on frens~~ ok la, i didnt do it all the time anyway. Sometimes let me depend on ppl mah~~~ else some ppl will say i am 'dao' or be 'nu qiang ren' or blah blah blah. Anyway my cock-ups thingy becomes a form of entertainment to them... urgh, to me is a form of embarassment!!! >.< *rolls on the floor*
Haiz, managed to finish one essay yesterday.... handed up juz a few minutes past the deadline..... i think i have become a classic figure in school. Everyone knows that I always in last min rush... always running to and fro to hand things up and my slippers will go piak piak piak all along the corridors and stairs..... so yesterday i got down the bus, it was 12:02..... den at the bus stop, a few of my archi frens were there~ they juz handed their essays must be. And when they saw me, they told me to hurry run and gave me cheers to go on~~ ahahaha, i feel like i am doing a marathon run or something.... haha~~ So i began to rush and complained "aiyo, so sian!! so sian ar!!"..... So Julie went piak piak piak all the way from bus stop to the department office.... hhaha, well i am not considered late still lar. still got ppl at the office handling up. hehe~~~
Now the time for exam on friday.... well, after reading those history and theory of western architecture, studying from the classical period to medieval to renaissance, oh i feel so cultured..... ya rite.... but really interesting to read them if i have the time... now rushing thru the readings is a mess k. Well, after exams, I still have one more essay to do for it. urgh~~~ for usp one.
I went back to play Conquer abit for the past few days and it was nice to tok to some old frens there.... they still remember me.... so nice.... yep, currently lvl 93 le..... still got quite long way to go.... haiz~~~ by the way, conquer 1 have moved to conquer 2, so got many new stuff and more cool graphics and interface!!! yup..... hey after exams, anyone wanna join me in the game? hehe~~~
okok time to study le~~ after tomolo, I can havoc liao.... hehe, but since other ppl still having exams, I still cannot disturb ppl online... aww so sad..... maybe i shall indulge in watching animes and playing some games~~ hey who wanna watch Harry Potter??!!! I wanna watch with good seats ok.... no more neck-breaking and straining at the front and back rows~~~!!
