TODAY's the first day of O week, the second of the FOP lined up for the BizAd freshies. I had a great time interacting with the freshies man! Had so much fun!!! Really felt so hyped up yesterday (as I was talking to Wei Ling online) about O week!!! It was a pity that I had to go back to the east quickly (couldn't join them for campus hunt, which would have been even more fun!!!) cos had to give tuition. Well, in the end tuition was cancelled, cos Mervyn's sick. Take care boy!!
I'm really excited about tomorrow's SRC games and CF!!! So exciting!!!! The only draw back is that I have to be in school early (as again) tomorrow. 9.15am at MPSH!!! Wah piang.. I really hope I can wake up at 6am, go for a quick jog then head down to school.
So, with that.. end my post up here... Going to sleep....zzZZzzzZZzzzZZzzz...................

Princess and I went down to the airport for lunch with Joanna today. It was supposed to be a surprise lunch, but well, things didn't turn out well. Haha.. we had a pretty long wait... and a super late lunch. We lunched at Popeye's and the chicken was really yummy... Haha...
Joanna: Hope your love the yummilicous flavours of the lip gloss... dun end up eating them, k? hehehe.... *wink*
Wahahaha.. Finally, I pulled through today's bidding. It was madness man!! It was the toughest bidding I've ever had. The choice to make is the toughest man. Was like picking, the confirming, then dropping modules on realisation that the bids are so sky high!! Ok la.. and i was being picky too.. refused to do any module which required me to be in school earlier than 10 am. Hey, i got excuse, i stay so far from school. 9 am classes means I have to wake up at 6.30am. That's like super early!!!
So, basically was stuck at my laptop the whole entire day watching the bids, adding, dropping, changing bids, and it was not till 2.50pm that I finally made my decision and placed my last few bids. Haha... So there... I burnt one whole day in front of the computer doing my CORS bidding. This has really been one of my worst biddings. Blame it on my indecisiveness and the crazy bids that were sky high. One of my modules was going at 820!!! (Thank God I chose that one instead of another one which I wanted to take too and found out later that the min was 1000!!!) Sheesh... Now, my Prog Acc's going to be so drained and dried. :(
Oh well... Thank God it's over. And, indeed, Thank You God for helping me sort out my super messed up thoughts! :)
In the end, I didn't go down for Rag, cos by the time I was ready and settled with my modules, it was 3pm. So, if I go down, it'll just be a waste of time. So sorry Bel, Candy, Val, K... Sorry couldn't come... I'll come down during O week!! =) Heee....

Was in sch helping out at the Rag site. They need quite a bit of help, cos they're behind schedule. It's been a monotonous time of doing paper marche, paper marche and more paper marche... LOL... But, got to know some other Bizaders. Some of the Breazom people came down today too!
CORS Bidding 1A starts today. Will have to place my selection of my modules soon...
O Week's starting this thursday!!! Programmes look good and exciting, and with KW as OGL, i seriously think that my OG's going to be super xiao on... LOL...

I'm feeling better than yesterday. Not as down.. but not super high up and crazily happy still. I went down to NUS today. Met Mel for lunch and then was helping out at the Rag site. Did pretty much a lot of pasting... or in short, paper marche. And, really, WoW! The intricasies of the float are really amazing!!! I'm seriously impressed.
Well, but that's not the main hilight for today's blog entry. Went to check out on the double major requirements at the Dean's Office today. And, finally, I managed to get my answer. So, unlike what Rudi says, I don't have to take that many more modules.. Only 3 more modules... Hehe... That makes everything so much easier. True, I may not have decided exactly what majors to take and whether I wanna do the China Studies minor ( the modules are great and there's this one module conducted in chinese that I want to take.. But, i scringe at the thought of having to take a chinese exam... hmmm... oh well.. but that's not the main reason), but having cleared my doubts about the double major and its requirements have really helped to lift a major problem I'm having in choosing my modules for this sem. Thank You Lord! But, I'm still waiting for God's reply as to how He's leading me.
Cherie, Daryl, Esther jie jie, Princess... thanks for all your encouraging tags! It really helped to cheer my day up!
Cherie dearie... Thanks for listening me out!! Thanks for helping me to put my thoughts together. Thanks for getting me back on the path... =) Miss you lots babe!! *Joanne screams "Cherie... Come back to Singapore!!!"*
Rudi: haha... even though you give very interesting advice (like flipping a coin to decide what i'll study)... still wanna thank you for helping me iron my thoughts out and for all your information feeds. Believe it or not, but yup, I know God would let me know which path He wants me to walk! hehe.. Thanks my spongebob fanatic neighbour!!!
God... What would I do without You? I lift everything up to You. Thank You God!

Been feeling very low for the last few days. Things haven't been going on well. CORS bidding starts today and I'm in a total dilemma. I haven't decided on my major, I don't know if I want to do a minor in China Studies (which would definitely look good in my certificate and be a plus point for companies to hire me). I don't think I can get on the honours programme (not with my pathetic CAP) and though I want to go for exchange somewhere, I doubt I can get it. I feel so screwed!! I should really have studies much harder in my 1st sem. Was looking at my results, my 1st sem grades are the ones pulling everything down.
I can't decide if I want to do Finance or Marketing. My interest tells me marketing. Marketing modules or so I hear are pretty much airy fairy modules. Easy Level 3 modules. But, seriously, a Business degree is already such a general degree. Almost anyone can do marketing, so it pretty much makes my degree even more general if I major in marketing. My logical mind tells me Finance. At least for Finance, I would have the backing to go into Banking and Finance and what have you. Well, for these you'll need the knowledge to survive well there. And ya... Daddy's so much for the idea that I should go into Finance and maybe I can work in a bank or something. I seriously don't know if I'm cut out for this Finance stuff. I seriously don't know. Maybe I should do a double major. But, BIzad can't fill me the details as to what's the minimum criteria I need to meet. (Admin there is slow...)
Sheesh... Sigh! I feel so lost. I really don't want to just graduate with a degree and nothing else. I need something else that companies can look at and say that I have a cutting edge above the rest and hire me. Statistics show that only about 66% of the normal BBA degree holders (without honours) get employed after 6 months of leaving school. That is really very low. If I don't have that something that sets me apart and make me more "employable".... then... I really would risk being part of that 34%.
I can't believe I'm actually thinking of employment now! It seemed not long ago that I just finished my A levels, and I was just enjoying life and waiting anxiously to enter Uni. Now I'm here... In my 2nd year (gasp! I'm already a senior.. no more a freshie!!) Next year, I'll be 21 and when I'm 22, I'll be out of NUS (hopefully not.. still praying and hoping that I can get into the BBA honours programme... but, my CAP looks too bad...) ready to start working! Oh boy! can you imagine it?!?!? I'll be in the working world in 2 years time!?!?!? I can't believe it at all!!! Sighz... Time flies...
I can't take this anymore!! God, I give this all up to you. All my cares, all my worries, I give it up to you Lord!

Was playing tour guide to one of my dad's client's son who is coming here from Sri Lanka to study. Very quiet chap. I was doing the talking all the time, and it sounded like I was over feeding him with all the information about NUS. Haha.. Hope he didn't feel too overwhelmed. Haha... He's going to do Electrical Engineering. Haha.. So, was sounding him out on how pathetic the Engine canteen food is. Haha.. And of course, telling him of the saving grace of McDonald's in Engine.. haha..
Haha.. Met Veen, Nat, Esther jie (hehe.. my wonderful alibi and transport.. hehe.. *wink*), Gillian, Steph, Sharene, Victor and Daryl for supper at the Lagoon Hawker Center. And boy! the place is so well done up!! It really looked very good!! Had the nice sea side feeling... No feeling of some hot and stuffy food court at all.. I loved it. And the breeze was great! Haha...
Veen's gone back to camp. BMT starts tomorrow for him. Sigh... BUT, the good thing is that he'll be coming out on saturday (yup!! no confinement.. cos he was already confined.. hehe..) So, hopefully these 4 days would be bearable. God, please give Veen the strength to go through his BMT phase. Please protect him in everything that he does when he is in camp. Thank you Lord! In Jesus' name.. Amen!

Have been shopping these last 2 days. Thursday I combed part of Far East n got my eye brow plucked!! haha... Bought a skirt and a new bikini set. =) Haha... It's been so long since I last shopped. No, I haven't gone shopping in Singapore at all since the holidays started. Haha.. So, for the next few days, I'll probably be hanging out in town to SHOP!!! Wahaha... Yesterday's shopping was more specific as I was looking for a present for my cousin's 21st birthday celebration (which would be a nice dim sum lunch later.. haha...) Bought her a crumpler bag in the end... hehe... =)
Haha... Veen, if you're reading this, just wanna say that you are a wonderful shopping companion!! haha...

Just came back from GMSS. It's one of those rare days that I've been up so early. Can you believe it, I actually woke up at 7am!! Haha.. Not a surprise to many school going kids out there.. but, hey, it's been ages since I last woke up so early!! haha.. Sorry to say, but life in Bizad starts earliest at 10am, and even for 10am classes, they don't start on time, cos most people come in late. Haha.. The life of a bizader.. But, I love it that way!! haha...
Anyway, was supposed to meet Andrea at GMSS at 8.45am cos was playing for worship this morning for the Good News Week. Yupyup.. Met her as I was getting off the mrt. Haha.. Was walking into GMSS and the scenes of PE suddenly look so familiar, and it's occurred to me that it's been ages since I last had a relaxing PE session. Seriously, PE sessions in TJ were very serious. It seemed like training sessions. Every session either run a lot or do circuits and stuff (which were good for the non sporty me.. I think i was at my fittest in TJ. Running to Bedok jetty and back seemed like nothing..). Think the only time we had ball games was after NAPHA, or more specifically in the last term of school in year 1. Miss the good old ball games days in TKG. Haha.. it's so fun to play soccer the girls way... Haha.. Laughing more than playing. Haha.. also miss the time when 21/01 playes captain's ball, or rather, was it Cold captain's ball. (why? cos we were telling lame jokes as we were playing captain's ball and we ended up rolling all over the ground laughing more than anything else... haha...)
OKok.. enough of that. But yupyup... back to GMSS. We had a short worship practice and Andrea requested Ivan to sing backup (cos he was there early), and poor Gavin who came later, had to act in the skit (together with Sam) which was to come. Judy spoke after worship.. haha.. Think it was a simple and light message put across. Hope it made some impact in their lives. Think would be going tmr morning again to help out for the good news week. (It's 3 days..) yupyup..
Had breakfast at.. hmm... somewhere in Joo Chiat. Can't remember the road name, but it's where the famous wanton mee (fei fei) was. But, haha... guess wad? we went there and ate porridge instead of wanton mee. hehe.. =)
GOing for dental later, then going to meet Pet later. Haha.. we're going to try out the Breeks! tea time menu, which looks quite cheap and good. The last time we went during tea time, we missed out that menu and ended up ordering a larger meal portion. Haha.. So excited about it.. hehe.. =)

Met PrInCeSs Pet to talk about FL ann decor.. haha.. It sounds great!! Haha.. So excited about it now!! And, managed to find what Caryn and I have been looking for for the past few days!!! Haha.. Thank you God for letting things fall in place when they seem almost impossible. And, was just looking at one of the caterer's menus. And, boy the menu she gave us is quite good. Thank God for Esther jie-jie for her contacts!!!
Thank you God for making everything fall into place, when last week everything seemed in a mess and there seemed like there was so much to do. Lord, send more people to attend the FL anniversary as we rejoice in thanksgiving for the wonderous things you've done for us in the past 6 years!!!
Frontliners 6th Anniversary --- A Walk to Remember
6pm, Bedok Methodist Church (Fellowship Deck)
Tickets are at $6.
Dinner would be provided.
Bring your friends along!!!
Hurry!!! Get your tickets!!! =)
LZ came!!! Haha... But well, I think this time when he came, the feelings and all were different. It was like a meeting up of old friends who haven't met for ages. No other feelings attached. It's a good thing, I guess...
Oh well, on a higher note... Sat night was fantastic. It was great to meet up with Breazom (my FOC OG) again.. Great to see the freshies. Haha.. Later found out that we were the biggest Og from FOC going for the party. haha.. Candy and Val, must be proud of us man!!! see, we are so supportive of RAG!!! Had a really great time dancing with the OG and with the rest of the Bizaders. It was so fun, especially when we were dancing in one big circle. Felt like those days of mass dancing were back.. but that this time, there were no specific steps, just all united in the fact that we are all BIZADers!!! Music was great!!! And, it was nice and not too crowded... Think that was one of my most enjoyable times! Haha.... IGNITE the BizAd Spirit!!!
YEsterday, had to do some recording for Daddy. Some CSMM stuff.. Dun ask me what. Recorder decided to crash on us, giving us some pathetic sound. But thank God for Esther jie-jie.. haha.. Had to mah fan her. Haha... Went over to her place to do the recording. Thanks Esther jie jie!! haha.. =)
Then it was the Uefa 2004 at 2.35am. haha... snacked a lot to keep awake... Greece won...
