hmm...my create post page is having some problems. wonder if this post will come out well. but, wat ever it is, i'm here to try. a few days din blog liao. although i was online but just didn't drop in to leave a few lines. was reading comic online these few days that i din blog ba. the collection is so huge! almost 6 yrs worth of daily comic strip! i onli managed to read up to 3 yrs worth and that was in a few days....hee!
So wats wif the wasting time heading? well, i just felt that i was kinda wasting my time lately, but just do not have motivation to go and look for a job. i do have a part-time job, but its more of event based, so i'm not always needed. it pays well and i get to meet a lot of pple...i like it. maybe it gives me too much freedom ba haha, sounds stupid huh? i'm giving tuition too, so its not that i do not have a job...(wat am i saying?!) exams for secondary students are approaching soon, so my student is preparing for his exams too. thus i'm also having more teach sessions. so why i say waste time...maybe too much time staying at home. i just need to go look for a class to attend since its the sch semester break for me. was thinking of going for pilates, so still on the search. i just need to fill up my time wif things to do. I hate being bored!
Being bored also cause me to eat a lot too. i'm forever running to my kitchen to search for food. this is a really bad habit...some more i'm one that has a VERY SUPER low metabolism. things that goes in will go to the tummy very soon and on to the weighing machine! hmm..does pilates help wif losing excess weight? wondering... tried once onli and it seems really interesting! most prob will be going for classes wif my frens ba...
i need some more retail therapy i tink. hands itching...waiting for my pay 1st. but last week got go shopping lah...today also went orchard to walk. realised that 2006 is coming. everywhere can see shops selling 2006 calenders and organisers. i need to look for those too. still cant find a nice wall calender yet. however, i found a organiser that i like a lot. or rather its the refill that i really like. so i went to find a 'skin' for the refill. and founs it too! haha in luck! so i'm happily waiting for pay day! hopefully the 'skin' for my future organiser won't be sold out! its small and i can bring it wherever i go. i definitely need to have the practice of using an organiser. i'm a scatterbrain and so i better get my life organised. very early new yr resolution hahahaha!!! wonder how long it will last..hmm..i do hope very long!!
need my rest liao to recharge for tml when i go out!

Finally got to go on a shopping spree...though i'm a bit broke haha. Lucky my mom managed to get some vouchers from i dunno where, so i bot a pair of slippers that i was eyeing for some time. But i always din buy it cos it was expensive... So i am very happi now!! Muahahaha....
but den i also din manage to get a cd i was hoping to get todae..tat was a bit disappointing. Cos i was looking forward to listening to it tonyte as i am typing away on my com... its an instrumental disc with some of the latest chinese songs. Its got piano, guitar and some bells, soothing to listen esp if u r stress or wans to chill out to a good book. i just finish rushing out my proposal, so i really need a good cd to relax and chill out. Hopefully i can borrow a good book to read sometime soon...
okok, besides tat, i also got myself a shawl, which i'm gonna share wif my mom... since she was looking for 1 too. its considered quite worth the $$, can keep warm and nice material. tried on quite a few tops and dresses but none of them look nice enuff or its too expensive...tats sad...hai
was surfing the net for some good movies to watch lately. Was telling one of my fren the other day that i was trying to make myself watch horror movies, like tat dae was watching Ju-on on tv. i really do not dare to watch horror movies cos i can remember scenes of movies very vividly and for a very long period of time. so its not very good to remember horror types. then i cant sleep well at night and sometimes i get nightmares frm it. i'll see how i can try to watch some... my frens like to watch them so i dun wan to be quite left out...=) waiting for some of the shows to start..like Harry Potter 4th movie, then April Snow (a korean show), heard Da Vinci Code will show too, Narnia Chronicle too...hmm so far tats abt it. most of them are like showing in nov or dec. Wahhh!!! So long time to wait!! But it'll be worth it i have this feeling...

I havent tried not sleeping at all for like few months. Most of the time when i really stay up the whole night is when i'm over at chalets and overnight stargazing wif my astro pals. Those are fun and i'm not complaining....haha. This time its due to the proposal i have to do. phew! But at least i got it out to my own expectation. hopefully its to the lecturer's expectation too....
Managed to squeeze in a few winks at abt 7am, but cud not keep my brain really well rested. So now, i'm a bit groggy and light-headed. Was feeling a bit cold too. Hope this is not the onset of being sick.... Will be popping out of the house in abt an hr's time so decided to squeeze in a little updating of my entries.
Mid Autumn Festival (or as some called it the mooncake or lantern fest...) is just ard the corner and i sure can see a lot of vendors trying their might to push in a few more sales of their mooncakes. Usually i dun really like to eat mooncakes, but this yr, i started taking a lot more than previous yrs. Probably because i managed to find a mooncake that i tink was not bad. Not too sweet and not too oily. Okay, maybe the added incentive was that my house was full of these snacks....*grinz* nevertheless, they really taste good wif some flavours like pandan and the usual lotus paste.
What we kids (when i was one tat is) used to do in the family was to hang out downstairs at the blocks and light our paper lanterns wif candles, while the adults do their own hanging out in the house. Sometimes we would join other kids at the neighbourhood gardens as well if our parents were willing to 'go the distance' for us. Now that my cousins and i are all grown up, i find that the festivals are getting less and less meaningful. its getting so commercialized that i dun feel the kind of festive mood anymore. is it really because we r no longer the childish kids we used to be or its just the way our things are being changed so much over the years? Anyway, its still a happy mid autumn to all u pple out dere......no matter wat. As 4 me, i will still continue to enjoy my mooncakes....*yum*
I really lack physical activities......

I'm back blogging again....i noe i just ended one of my post but something made me come back and put some thoughts in here.
Was surfing in some of my frens blog and i came across a blog of one of the bestest fren i ever got. havent seen her for a very long time and i realised that i really miss her a lot. we used to hang out at my house whenever we r free and do the crappest things together...i remember that we wud go and do crazy things when we go shopping or have a lunch date. we like to call each other in endearing terms playfully (dun worry, we r straight haha...) and share things that happened in our lives when we din see each other. i dunno when it happened that we became very busy and do not have as much time to get together anymore. maybe i should have made the initiative to go and drop her a msg...but why didn't i?
she seems really busy now and there are so many exciting things happening in her life. i'm really happy for her and that she had found something that she like to do so much... but i really miss those times we had spent together. i noe pple should not dwell in the past and look forward, but sometimes i wish time would just go back and let me relive those happy times again and again...
i noe this sounds mushy but i really miss u honey... do u feel it?

i'm still rushing my FYP proposal. i'm suppose to send a draft to my supervisor by tomolo! And its still not done! OMG! Although part of it's done (and i hope its good...), there's still the intro and some other bits here and dere.... So after i'm done wif this, its back to my work!
just a few days ago, my pet hamster died. i found it one morning when i was about to feed it, that it was at the spot it always like to sleep in (which is under its exercise wheel). at 1st, i tot it was just sleeping as usual and tapped the cage a little. usually it would just stir when it hears a noise but this time it just lay there motionless. so i went to prod it a little, thinking that it will definitely wake up. in the end it just stay dere, eyes closed. then i realise its all stiff and cold, and it died. kinda sad cos it showed no signs that it was sick or wat. so it came as a shock to me...but there was nothing i could do...=( i guess it was old since i had it for a few years... it was a pure white female wif black eyes. she's really fierce though...go near her and she will definitely serve u wif one of her bites! one of my fren din like tat about her, but i guess tats my ham's trait! *bite* its a pity that i dun have any pics of her....
So rite now i'm left wif a black one.... and he or she (i dunno the gender...) is the king! the onli hamster left in the family. so all the good stuff goes to it solely.... this little one is more gentle and do not really bite. but once in a blue moon, it will still give a little nip! however, i feel that the bite does not really hurt.....maybe it just wanted to play or something...who noes?? *shrugs*
11:52 PM
Getting a bit used to staying at home most of the time. Its quite good actually haha cos it really saves a lot of money. Without going out, i dun get tempted to buy and buy....the urge is really hard to control! *phew* I've been fighting a losing battle to the shopping monster for years! =P So far, no job at the moment, so its best to watch my pockets, before I burn a big hole in it.
Seems like a lot of pple around me are going overseas for holiday or others. Its been a few years since I last stepped out of Singapore (not counting going to Sentosa kae....). I cant even remember the last place I went overseas to....my short term memory is already quite bad, let alone my long term memory (sometimes i wonder if its working...). Was reading a blog of my fren and her adventure over in the US. Maybe thats why it really made me wanna get out and have a holiday. Lots of pictures to see and reading lots of stuff she was doing over dere... Tink after I start working, I'm gonna gather a few buddies and do one of those free and easy trip to US. Meanwhile, its saving up time! If I dun get to go US, Japan is a good idea too, especially during the cherry blossom season. I onli got to see it on TV programmes and would like to see it for myself. And of course to try and join in the festival celebrations dere too if possible. =) Tink I read and watch too much of comics and anime....
Before that, I better get down to completing my proposal for my project. Did research for a day but havent started drafting it out yet. Got stuck and dunno wat to put down in the report... Brain's a bit clogged up and I guess I have to let all the information settle in 1st before I can proceed. Maybe a good night sleep will do some good, so I'm off to bed....

Phew! I've finally done most of my blog. It's so different from what I used to put. Last time I keep using black as background, so got a little sick of it. Part of the reason is also due to the fact that I can't find a skin that is black and that I like it too. The only thing that is still the same is that its anime AGAIN! I love anime too much to do something else, though Maple Story skins came a close second...
Tokking about Maple Story, I've finally moved up to level 32! From what seems like eternity!! It's so tough to level up! Just trying to kill all those monsters got my fingers all cramped up. And the amount of mesos that I spent on the mana potions and HP potion...*Kachink*. But then, the mesos can be earned back! Hahs...so SZ25, dun worry! U can get yur $$ back soon if u work hard at attacking the monsters! I wun laugh at u cos I was also once ly tat with only 300 plus mesos in my pocket...*shocks*! But I managed to keep my warrior alive hahaha... So my aim now is to reach level 35 so that I can "revamp" my whole warrior outfit....
Now is also term break for me, but not much rest to talk about cos its time for my final dash! Final year already and last semester to go. Now its all about the final year project! Proposal due next wed and I havent started on the report....gotta work hard this sem! With my 2 group members, we can definitely handle it!! We rox!! Besides that, I'm also waiting for the results from my previous sem. Worried that I did terrible on the subject. Totally lost most of the time, so could only try my best to solve it. But luckily i had group members to help out with the project report too...If not..*shudders*...dare not think! So thanks a lot, my dear applets!!! heehee...
Wah! Can't keep my eyes open liao...after all the editing and stuff done...Going to dreamland....

Although its my term break again, i'm so bored at home! Got final year project to do and research on though....but i dun have the initiative to start on the proposal that need to be handed in to the supervisor.
Anyway, I started another blog for my fyp. Just like last time i did for my last semester when i got a project too. Only that this time my grp members and i want to do it on our own free will, instead of having to be graded on it. Somehow, i tried to find a nice skin for it, but it is soooo..... tough to find one that i like. Tink i may have to do one on my own liao. Then probably i will be pleased with it.
Got to get ready for tuition liao....signing off....
