Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Friday, November 28, 2008

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! or should i say happy turkey day. muahaha. no school today but i was sadly woken up by the loud laughter and footsteps around the house. thats what annoys me the most. if it wasnt for that, i know i ll be sleeping in till 10.30 or at the least 10. but for some people,s leeping me means waking up at 7.30. i mean, are u serious? not that im extremely surprised after staying here for a year and a half... but still, seriously? sat aroudn the house looking at ads for black friday shopping tomorrow. had mac and cheese for lunch while watching satellite- dont mess with the zohan. stupid lame movie. i cant even understand what theyre saying because of their accent. so well, i basically wasted my day today which is a pity, so im trying to make up for it toNIGHT. went to aunty lynnes for thanksgiving dinner where i stuffed myself full like how a stuffed turkey would look like. lots of good food though. there was turkey (duhhh) marshmallow sweet potato (delicious) cauliflower mash(great), baked potato(awesome), homemade punmpkin pie, ham, almond jello, cookies. geez, i was so full i could hardly breathe after. and and and, there was birthday cake tooo. it's my evil brother's birthday too. how coincidental it fell on thanksgiving. walked around the house sat and stoned. and there goes my day. not a very special thanksgiving to say the least. i think last year was more fun. but oh wells.

i m still debating if i should go black friday shopping tomorrow. that just means i have to get up at 4am!!! do i really want to do that? besides, im broke. seriously broke so theres nothign much i can get. i wanna go just because serramonte is giving out free gift bags that contains target giftcards from 10 bucks to 100 bucks. with no purchase whatsoever. u just have to be there. yeah, black friday is the big big big day to go shopping cos everything's on sale and different shops are giving out special deals or items. liek the first 50 people get a snowglobe or something. people do camp outside through the night especially at electronic stores liek best buy or circuit city where they have the best deals. of course we re not that crazy. i mean, its freezing cold outside too. soo im still debating. maybe i ll just set my alarm clock and if i can get up then i ll go otherwise, im just gonna sleep in. heh. what a great idea! but it is just once a year...... i can t make up my mind!

i have lots of homework and studying to do.. i cant believe how fast time is flying. one minute im freaking out over my application, the next over my tests and then homework and then finals. geez, thsi is never ending. yet at the same time, i dont want school to be over. i like school. call me weird. i cant believe i only have 1 semester left. sigh. im gonna miss skyline. the foggy windy cold days. but i guess for now, i should be focusing more on getting this semester done. i have have have to clear my homeowrk tomorrow. otherwise i ll be staying home whil emy parents are here. that just means shopping and banking in money too. muahaha. alright i should get going on some reading. and then twilight!! hhhahahaha.



happy birthday evil lil brother! even though he s not gonna read this. all i want from him is to study hard. high school is the hardest to get past here. people do go astray. so all i hope is that he stays focused on his studies and make mom and dad happy. simple as that. =D


twilight plus uc app

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

geez the uc application is soooo torturous. i was holding my breath while doing it subconsciously. my fate lies in the hands of the application now. all that is left to do is pay for the application fee. have to remember to ask! i should get it in tonight or tomorrow latest. dont want risk having my computer crash or the server die. hopefully all goes well and i get accepted into berkeley. shall stop thinking about it for now.

OMG TWILIGHT WAS AWEEEESOMEEEE! i think its second to harry potter! wait, it is second to harry potter. heh heh. it was really nice. loved it. cant wait till the next moviw come out. i actually havent read the book but i sure am now. we went to costco after the movie and the first book was only 7 bucks. its the reprint copy though and i think i like it better than a hand holding an apple. haha. at least it has cedric diggory on. =D the book was cheaper than my lunch so joyce got it for me. after all, it was she that got me into it. but its a rather bad timing to try to read it. i keep having to stop because of homework and studies. so i could only read it right before i go to bed which is bad for my eyes cos i read it lying down. >.<

i should get back to studying o chem now. i have no clue how to write the reactions. all so complicated. i never had a knack for chem anyways. but i really need to do well for this test or im doomed. i need the inspiration and motivation. its hidden somewhere.....

mom and dad are seriously coming at the wrong time too. got sooo much to do over the next 3 weeks. sighh... sorry if i dont go out or become grumpy. thats because im worried about finals. so watch out for a grumpy me when u come.

and to dory: sorry but i think our letter has got to wait....


love love love

Saturday, November 22, 2008

its finally friday! have been waiting for this day since forever. this week's been pretty tiring. sleeping later than usual is not a very smart idea. school was kinda boring today. physics and chemistry were just taking forever to pass. hung around in the cafeteria till 1 then went to te learning center to check my personal statement. and the frustrating part is, its either really good thats why they have nothign to say on where i can improve on or they just cant make out what's wrong and are horrible tutors. i dont know. im just gonna get it in by tuesday latest. i need to get this over with. 2 more weeks and its gonna be finals. technically 1 and a half sincew next week theres only 3 days cos of thanksgiving. im gonna be really busy tryign to tie up all the loose ends so i could spend time with mom and dad. stressing out again? cant wait till theyre here though. at least i think so. talked on the phone for an hour with mom just now. serious stuff plus crappy stuff. and i talked to my puppy too though i doubt he understood what i was ssaying since he didnt bark when i asked him to. i really do want to go back in december. dont know if i have to do anything for ptk or the case study challenge though. argh. reminds me i should get my essay in soon though she didnt mention the deadline. sigh. so much stuff to do near the end of the semester. and so many distractions too. oooh yes gonna watch twilight tomorrow! i dont know what its about but im thinking/knowing that its gonna be good. the last movie i watched in the theaters was narnia. ages ago! alright. should go to bed now.. was watching love blossoms 2. 3 episodes already. woohoo. heh. i dont think its showing yet actually. something to watch while eating when no one;s home now.haha.

still have to respond to letters over the weekend and study!! grrr... i shall hang on for another 3 weeks and not be lazy.

i cant believe my finals are one after another. 2 on the same days too.


=(

Friday, November 21, 2008
maybe being the young one isnt that great after all.....


tired

Thursday, November 20, 2008
physics is finally over. it was hard. as usual. hopefully the curve will help again. im sooo tired right i really dont want to do anything but i still have my chem prelab to crap out and my persoanl statement to touch up. i cant wait till thanksgiving. MOMMY AND DADDY ARE COMING OVER! yoohoooo! shopping plus food plus love. heh heh. although its really quite a bad time. have my final exams the week after. or almost. oh wells. we ll see about that. if not, its just gonna be more late nights. slept at 1am yesterday. of course, it wasnt quite successful. around 12 ish, i just started surfing the net. looking at my notes every 15 minutes. lol. greenify skyline today. didnt do anything technically but i got my free shirt. hah. thats why u pretend to be active in a club. im mean. see i still have my singaporean side in me. ><

soooo sleepy i could definitely fall asleep right now. brain not functioning. i realize i still have tons of miscellaneous stuff to do. 3 more weeks till the semester ends. this semester just zooomed past. seriously. and i want to say its one of the semesters where i had the most fun and i actually enjoyed going to school and class. maybe not for some like anthro and socio where i just wished i could do something else in there. the back few pages of my notebook are doodles and random words which i usually try to write with my left hand. its sooooo boring i enjoy going just because i dont have to do anything. i just bring in my coffee and daydream. exams are the easiest to study for too. oh yes. i got the highest for socio. wheeee. happy. (my eyes hurt now. i think my degree has definitely gone up)

i cant believe berkeley might actually stop accepting freshman admissions. thats what i heard. dont know how true it is but our school district just lost/cut back 300 million dollars. very very very bad. I WANT/NEED TO GET INTO BERKELEY! stop being so picky about ur students. heh. liek thats gonna happen.

i watched lizzie mcguire while having dinner yesterday and they played this song. i played it for 4 hours straight while studying yesterday. tell me im insane. I LOVE DISNEY!

i should get started on my stuff now and plop straight to bed after. I NEED STRONGER CAFFEINE! ITS NOT DOING ITS WORK NO MORE!


change....

Tuesday, November 18, 2008
i hate the fact that everything's changing.


happy days

Monday, November 17, 2008
i lived in my own world today. =D very happy day i must say. got up pretty early since i was thinking of going vacaville with them today but changed my mind the last minute. played the ds. made chocolate chip cookies instant ones duhh. basically raiding whatever was in the fridge. surfed the net for a while before going back on my bed with the ds. think i actually napped but the phone woke me up. heh. it was only 20 minutes? i mean i just woke up not long ago sooo yeah. im a pig but who gets to do this often? actually i think this is actually the first other than the time i was sick. made kaye's card and lunch time! had noodles. good hot spicy noodles. yum. watched 3 hours of tv. heavenly. kiddy shows though. icarly, spongebob, drake and josh. my old teen nick. ><>while they had sushi (they kept saying how i should have went so i dont have to eat leftovers. =S) annoying please. watched more tv. mtv cribs, icarly, drake and josh. and they come home so i finished my personal statement and here i am. =D i am one happy satisfied princess. ><>


wicked

Sunday, November 16, 2008
wicked. got up in the morning since the doorbell rang and no one else was home except for jon who was downstairs who's obviously still sleeping. was aunt suzanna. apparently, a cop was outside filing report. some brainless people used a bb gun or whatever u call that that shoots out small tiny yellow balls to shoot random stuff, or rather cars. so it hit our blue odessey and the back windshield broke. i think they already know though since they left so early in the morning. aunt jenny had to work too. i guess she drive janet's car. oohh wells. we'll see. they have insurance too so shouldnt be too big of a problem.

and and and, my right eye's swollen again which sucks cos it feels weird. i already expected it to happen though since ive been sleeping really late the past few nights and have been using the computer for hours daily. could feel it last night too. i have triple eyelids now. muahaha. hope it goes away tomorrow. so for now, i shall look creepy. its halloween all over again. ><

last week was rather alright. monday was a holiday so days flew by really fast and there wasnt any tests too. if only weeks could go by like that. got my personal statement done on wed night/thursday morning so i could let my chem professor look over it. sent it to catherine and kaye too. i didnt think it was too great, like prettty normal and lacking substance but apparently they all think its good. not outstanding but good. and they cant bloody tell me how to improve it. like should i elaborate more or put in more details or blah blah blah. i dont know! this is the next frustrating part. i did go over the word limit so i hav to cut it down or condense it. but i feel like i have to add something to it. went to see joyce lee my counselor on friday too suring her drop in hours. i have to rememebr to attach files to my email! but she was really nice and just read it there. said i should make it more personal for the first part but she said it was alright too. like its solid, answered the question blah. kinda helped me look over grammar too. got an appointment with her on monday after school so hopefully she can say somethign about it again. that means i have to edit it today or tomorrow again. really want to get this over with. i only ahve 2 weeks. should be fine though. i think some people have yet to start too. they are screwed. ><

got physics test on wed and i havent started studying which is really bad. i dont know why but im really not spending time on physics at all. not good. i know im gonna regret it. and i finally got my first A on a chem exam. okay it was for lab so its kinda different but 97 is a big deal to me. 3 semesters and this is the first A i got on an exam. sad right. heh. i like chem now!

i have my bro's ds lite with me now and its a huge distraction. mom's gonna get me one too once she has enough points and she can exchange for one. but she says she'll wait for the new one that s coming out according to her. didnt hear bout it though. maybe im just in my own world. hehe.

alright should get studying now. and people should stop calling the house cos i hate answering phones. i always go hello hello cos i cant recognize who's calling. heh. so pardon me for being dumb.

more peektures from induction on friday



induction

Sunday, November 09, 2008
weekends are finally here. best thing is, monday is a holiday too! hooray! okay, maybe nothign to be too happy about since theres still tons of stuff to be done especially my PS which has to be done asap! still i spent the whole day of today doing nothing which felt great! heh. what beats a care free day right.
got up at 10. watched videos-grey's anatomy, private practice... went to nicholas and nathan's party at the pool. didnt swim though so just sat around and played a very complicated card game. haha. got home and continued sitting in front of the com. i know my eyes are getting worse.
what i really wanted to blog about was yesterday-friday! went to school in the morning as usual. skipped physics to study for my chem which i dont think really helped. i got all so confused over the exam because of 1 question which he messed up on. hopefully we get some points or im afraid i ll do pretty badly and that is not good at all. we were all gathering outside class after the exam discussing out answers. funny sight. went home at 1 since i missed my bus when class ended at 12. got home, ate, showered, watched more videos and changed for ptk induction. whee. got to school at 5 when we were supposed to be there at 5.30. i leave 5 minutes away and am half an hour early. crazy or what. and the bad part was.... the school was locked! all the doors were shut! i walked around trying the doors for each building but it didnt work. heh. people could get out but they couldnt get in. so just sat at the back away from the wind until 5.30. the sky was getting pretty dark too cos of daylight savings. felt like it was 8pm. walked around and finally saw soemone. phew. plus i was carring a big poster board and wearing heels too. kill me please. walked to the front of the cafeteria building and the other officers started coming. saw dr case too. her keys didnt work either. knocked on the door of the security window but they were either not there or couldnt hear us. case even kicked the door. haha. could tell she was kinda mad though since she did tell them that we were having our ceremony. plus there was gonna be people from another school too. got into the building eventually but couldnt open the door to the room. boo. once we got everything settled and stuff (i do hate that security guy btw, he sooo annoying) started to decorate the room, moved the tables, got chairs, arranged the food. was fun. people started to come in and we got prepared. though we were pretty much crapping around. we all said a couple of lines and people got inducted. really special. we officers got inducted too and we all got a medallion. how great is that. and it was case who gave it to us. the other school didnt even have anything. boo. our advisor's the greatest. couple of funny moments after the ceremony. we were people watching, seeing how people get their food. so there was this guy trying to get grapes with a fork. of course, its hard to get grapes with a fork so he used his hand in the end and got a whole bunch and almost cleared the platter so were just started laughing and case came by wondering why we were smirking. i had my mouth full so i didnt want to talk and so did maggie. we just kept quiet and she was like, i hate being left out. hahah. funny. towards the end when we were packign up, i was mumbling or rather she didnt really hear me so there was this silent pause. haha. confusion... we gave her flowers and chocolates as well which she called candy. lol. ashley was like make sure it stays alive and repot it. haha. she was like repot is not in my vocab. haha. she's a biology professor who has an Ed. D! haha. i know there s no link there. she sent us a really sweet email just now on a saturday. she a workaholic.
"You did a great job. That was one of the nicest inductions yet. And, thank you for the plant and candy."
that is just so unlike her. seriously.
everythign turned out really well. got home around 9. had lots of fun. <3>
alright. should at least do something today. shall go find more articles for case study challenge. good night peeps.
the poster board i spent hours making. it ate my ink too. heh.
my nice lil medallion. =D


ps. listening to can i have this dance from hsm. in love with it. i havent even watched the movie yet! need to watch it soon!




i love my dog

Thursday, November 06, 2008
my dog just bit someone again. heh. thats for touching my very unfriendly dog. serves u right? =P no one touches my puppy! grrr. i wonder do people not understand that if a dog bares his teeth, you should remove ur hand and not touch him? is it not common sense? =S so it was the housing agent he bit and that tallies up 4 victims. quite a lot for a golden retriever. okay maybe not quite. its extreme. i'd say he's just being protective. =D he bit my maid and brother because they were trying to get him off someone's legs- i dont remember who so that was an "accident" not intentional that they just got in the way and the other two are people who cant keep their hands to themselves.

i hate how my dad keeeps teasing him. apparently he lets him off the leash and being roger, he runs ahead. so my dad takes that time to turn around and hide away from him. being the family dog, he turns around every minute or so and it definitely scares him to death when he sees that theres no one around. that must feel horrible. i hope he stops doing that. okay now im depressed. i miss my puppy. =S

off to continue to do my boring assignments and chemistry review. i want monday to come and then thanksgiving.


daylights savings

Monday, November 03, 2008
yoohoo! daylight savings time is here! 1 extra hour for us. at least until it becomes normal or feels normal rather. got my extra hour of sleep. wheee. so this weekend was a blast. lots of stuff happened. good stuff. but the bad part is, i havent done anything productive other than completing assignments that are due tomorrow. and thats making me panicky. lots of stuff left undone and theyre all important too.
  1. study for chemistry exam on friday
  2. get personal statement done
  3. finish prelab for chemistry for thursday
  4. get induction poster board done by friday
  5. study physics exam for following wednesday
  6. finish anthropology enculturation paper for this thursday

doesnt seem like much but they all take really long to do and are freaking important too. especially personal statement and studyign for exams that i understand nothing about. sigh. gonna be a hard period to ride through. hopefully i ll survive well enough to be smiling through december.

went to cafe bakery for lunch today. milk tea! finally. got home and finished up my assignments admist all the mahjong bickering and noise. played cards while having dinner. showered and here i am. should finish chemistry before sleeping or i ll totally feel bad and wasted. so off i go now. wheeee. hopefully that 1 extra hour helps somehow. =D peace out

i 'm sooo broke its not even funny. its all because of dinner last night. but tempanyakki was good. i think i could live in japan.

bad part is, i think im done eating again. theres always this period of time when i get sick of eating. i dont think this is good at all. how can one get sick of eating all the time. and its not like i ate a lot. i think. heh.



wasted day

Sunday, November 02, 2008
i think i just wasted my whole sat. and my eyes hurt. ive been on the com since 10.30am wandering aimlessly around on the net ever since. soo unproductive though i ve got tons to do. maybe i'll make it a late night again. after all it is saturday. right. great way to comfort myself. im thinking its the weather thats making me sooo lazy.

i should get off the com now before i become blind?


poker halloween


if all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be.....
perfect for this weather. its gonna be raining all weekend. gloomy but nice. although a rather bad time to sit down and study. heh. i dont even know when the last time it rained was.

so yesterday was halloween. still had school though. there was barely 7 people in the class for pe which was kinda expected so he let us out early though really, it waasnt much of a difference to me. went to the cafeteria to get my latte. im definitely addicted to coffee and thats what sucking all my money away. i spend like 15-20 bucks on coffee a week! sigh. bad bad habit. its not my fault they dont have milk tea here. or else i could alternate. heh. lots of people dressed up in school too. not much of a surprise. i had a winnie the pooh in my physics class. cute. cafeteria was really interesting. there was a guy who painted himself all silver and acted like a statue. those really popular in london where u give them money and they start moving. though he wasnt professional. duh. haha. lots of interesting costumes. poeple really go all out. so school was fun. eneded at 12 and went to get stuff from dr case. yeah she gave me a trick instead of a treat. work to do for induction. boo. waited till 1 and went home by bus. it was drizzling too. oh wells.

got home had my french onion soup and joyce came home. thats when we decided to bake for halloween later since we were going to aunt lynne's place. pumpkin patch from the hello cupcake book! adorable. too bad i dont have pictures here. but finding the ingredients or rather decorating stuff was difficult. we went to like 6 different places to find decorating sugar. lol. we already had baking mix and all the other stuff. it was just the licorice and ORANGE sugar that we had t find. went to lucky's where we werent too lucky, target, safeway, the dollar store, mollie stone's where they had a wide variety of color but ran out of orange. eventually just got the gold. went to other places too but i dont know the names. still it was crazy. spent like one and a half hours looking for stuff. eventually got home. everything went smoothly then so we could still make it there quite early. made the icing a little too watery so it dripped over the sides after decorating it. but it was still adorable. especially the mini ones. tasted great. a lil too sweet cos of the icing but who cares. sugar!

went over and had dinner. was hungry by then. when the kids were carving their pumpkins, the others played poker. fun! only because i won. muahha. lots of different games- 357, texas, omaha, 7 27, shopping! really expensive games. haha. apparently i could trick people really well. okay i think it was just my luck but not beginner's luck cos there were other beginners. jan and joyce's guys. haha. i want to play poker now. anyone? got home around 12. showered and watched paris's new bff. fell asleep after and didnt wake up till 10.30 this morning. sweet. one of the longer sleep i got without being disturbed by people walking all over the house.

watched videos. had costco lunch. yeah. feeling really lazy though i really should be studying. chem test next week and i have really really no idea what its about. Sn1 Sn2, E1 e2 what kind of reaction is that??? and physics the week after. and most importantly, i still have my personal statement to do!! help? going to go to janet's surprise party i think. hopefully it won tbe too weird. oh wells. off i go to try to get motivated. if not its nap time. =D
too adorable to resist!
aww. i have to say he looks sad and i dont know why.
