天冷 Part 2

I was extremely amused when two friends texted me about 天冷 last night, and they were both swooning over it. (: Am really really glad that friends went to watch it upon my wonderful review!

Derek was soooooo utterly nice to pass me his 梁文福 cd today after English lecture! I suspected he had something for me (since he texted me to ask me to look for him after lecture) but I never knew it was going to be the CD that he dug out from his place! Awwww hearts to him! He was probably in cloud 9 with 天冷 the whole of today, judging from his tweets and FB updates. Roo is also swooning, and I suspect Peanut might join in after tonight. 

We (Derek and I) were mad enough to consider going to watch it before it ends its run on 10th May, but there are only single seats left. Hopefully it’ll come again in 2011, then we’ll go and watch! Beams! 

Cleared up the CSC accounts and Gesl stuff tonight, after a good visit to the library. The library just makes everything so sane and normal. 

The short getaway has really done me good, I’ve been pretty productive and managing things fine. Plus if I keep my promise to the cat, I should be able to survive through the toughest month that’s coming up. And after that, freedom (for a teeny weeny while anyways) before hell blows ovr. 

I’ve had a couple of enlightening moments today, but the thoughts keep slipping me. 

Oh here’s one though – I tweeted about it, and I want to reinforce it. Today, my EL lecture said this, “You can’t teach apples and test pineapples.” More on that when I am in the writing mood. (: 

I shall go enjoy my CDs. (:

Shanghai..

The cat is going. 

Envious, thoroughly envious. 

He has decided to use his IOU left over from last Christmas on me. He wants to use it over a duration – the month of May. 

Quoted as per his text, he said,

“… For the month of May, each time you feel stressed… Cannot! Must think of meadows and rainbows and butterflies and bunnies.. And eggs cooked in every way.”

I LOL-ed at the last part “eggs cooked in every way”. 真不愧是超要好的朋友，還記得我喜歡吃雞蛋！

I’ll miss hanging out with you, talking about everything and anything! But I’ll take comfort in the fact that you’ll be back in August, and MY POCKYS (mango and milk tea please thankyou. I’ll haunt you for it on FB.). 

You asked me to take care, and I will. 
I’ll ask you to take care, and you better do.

The bambi-eyed zombie will miss pulling your random whiskers! 

Marketing Kit.

Wanted to do ATM in the morning, but inspiration wasn’t hitting. 

So I decided to focus on another task on hand and do up the marketing kit required for submission next Wednesday. I came up with this funny little thing. 

Came up with this nifty little comic strip using Comiclife, and it was pretty fun and easy to work with! Am I plugging this nifty software, I guess – because comic making has been simplified so much now! There are so many functions to play around with, it really brings out the essence of making comics. 

Comic making can be used in so many aspects! I can even make one simple one just for fun, for blogging purposes and anything else. We decided to make use of it to make publicity flyers to introduce POA to students, and we were introduced to Comiclife during ICT lesson – the wonders of technology. 

Now, I’m wondering if I should think of another storyline to make another comic, or use Prezi to do up an innovative slideshow for the marketing kit. Shall try and make life easier for Cheryl and me, aims to clear this by today if I can. 

Late night

This wasn’t supposed to be a late night. But then again, I didn’t count on finishing my online worksheets tonight. I thought I needed tomorrow to work on it, but I guess Lady Luck was shining on me tonight when I stumbled upon a pretty fanciful Powerpoint Game I could modify and use for my assignment. 

So that simply means I shall use tomorrow to work on my ATM and marketing kit, which is due next week. Whilst I start working on ATM, I can start thinking of how I want to do my microteaching next week as well. I did mention everything is pretty hectic, isn’t it. 

Then Ed Psych 2 presentations start the week after that, and there is that dreaded English assignment that I cannot make any head or tail out of. Plus, there is the reconstruction assignment as well. 

I’m starting to see the light, the end light in that tunnel and I am just hoping fervently for the week of 18th May to come quick, because that’s almost the last week of school and class before we break for the June holidays and I start pee-ing in my pants in fright of practicum. 

I miss hanging out with the girls, going shopping and talking about anything under the sun. Though I did see Roo on Monday because she wanted to go to the Espirit outlet at IMM for a short while. I miss having a life outside of school, though yes I did go Bintan over the weekend. 

This first two days of the week after Bintan has been pretty productive. Let’s hope it continues into the week. Time for bed though, eyelids are closing on me.

Tweettweet

is really microblogging. 

When I was out for a very short while to watch BX have dinner, when I was waiting at the traffic light to cross the road, I was wondering why my tweets weren’t updating on my G1. So I was fiddling around with it, and was tempted to tweet about it. Then it dawned upon me that Twitter is actually currently acting like my on-the-go notebook, allowing me to take down random notes while I’m on the go, and having access to mobile internet. 

Very fun. (: 

And I just finished 50% of my online worksheets (1 out of 2). Am pleased with self, because I just need to pretty up the web quiz for that, and come up with another for my powerpoint game/content generator quiz. Then I’ll be done with the assignment required for Thursday’s submission. 

Then I’ll need to look at the POA marketing kit, and my microteaching of 7 minutes for next week. Plus my ATM. And the others that are due in the second and third week of May respectively. After the week of 18th, I can literally smell freedom for about a month or so. That’s when I have major plans in the pipelines. I can continue to dream about those plans. 

Bintan did me good. We had a wonderfulwonderful time chilling and relaxing, not giving too much thought to what we chose to do, and things went very very smoothly. Spent the bulk of our time at the beach, floating in the sea and watching the people frolick by the beach. Nirwana Beach Club was fantastic, it was as though we had our very own private beach by our cabana with the few people that were at the beach. There was life, but not overwhelming. 

Though there were disgraceful Singaporeans around. How sad. 

Overstuffed ourselves at the Kelong restaurant for dinner and had drinks by the beach. It was really nice and romantic. (: The sunset was pretty, we missed the sunrise because we were being lazy pigs. The aura javanese spa package at Aura was good, we didn’t spend too much on food thankfully. Wayy better experience at Nirwana as compared to Bintan Lagoon. 

The wonderful relaxing weekend helped alot in productivity today. Hope this good roll will continue for this week as I fight the mountain that seems to have shrunk into a hill after the completion of several tasks today. I should work more when I feel this good. (:

Lesson for a Friday night.

Inspiration only hits when desperation hits. I’m not desperate enough right now. I shall give my throbbing head a break and watch Survivor, and laugh at how Tyson got his ass kicked left right centre after turning the tables on Brendan last week. 

Tyson - eliminated this week.

Sierra shall have the last laugh (cry) – WH and I are happy. (: 

Wish me luck for next week – the mountain of work is growing very high.

Friday night.

Tis a friday night and I sit in front of my laptop, wondering when inspiration would hit and I could come up with the next question for my accounting online worksheet. I have a horribly limited scope for my online worksheet and I’ve got to glam it up before I submit it on Thursday. Then I’ve got another to complete. 

And I’m leaving for Bintan tomorrow for the weekend with the boyf. Doesn’t help matters that I’m sitting in bed with a tremendous headache. The only thankful thing, I realised today that I don’t have class next Wednesday, hence I can still attempt a mad rush on Tuesday evening and Wednesday to complete it, but that’s not very advisable and yet I’m probably going to take it because my brain is not functioning very well.

I hate the weather. I’ve always been more fond of cold weather, rather than hot humid weather. Continues to think about the cooling winters we had in Shanghai, and were running down the streets in just a tee and a jacket, with jeans in sub 10 temperatures. Those days were long lost, but fun. (:

Susan Boyle, never been kissed and a sham?

Honestly, I felt for her when I first watched the youtube video, and I bet millions of others do. Only did I realise today, while I was reading my bloglines feeds that, it was just mere tongue in cheek. Right. To think the globe was rooting for the frumpy old lady as the underdog to win British’s got Talent, only to realise that they had been cheated by a tongue in cheek comment, and that very frumpy old lady has went to get herself a upmarket new hairdo that changes her into that of a sleek singer.

Right. I want to root for the underdog, but I forgot how brutal reality teevee can be with its edits. They show us what will provoke us the most, and they provoked us with Susan Boyle.  

Oh wells. We all live to see another day, hopefully with the true underdog next time. 

On hindsight, am a little disappointed that Anoop is gone from American Idol, have been rooting for him since I saw him during Hollywood week. Am tired of the whole Lambert show, American Idol has gone from being AI to the Lambert show. Now that Anoop is gone, I guess I would like Matt to take the throne, but there is this huge obstacle called the Lambert in his way, because almost everyone is lauding his extreme performances. He actually reminds me of Michael Jackson, Wacko Jacko. Seriously. 

Hell’s Kitchen is not turning out the way I would like it to be either, and Brendon had to be voted out from Survivor last week. I wonder what happened this week. 

I shall go to Sirlinksalot.net for my weekly fix of reality tv news when I don’t have the time to sit down and watch the shows. 

Inspiration, come to me please!

Was looking through old blogs, and stumbled upon this, that ST left on my blog a while back.

Don’t think that no one loved you,
because they’ve turned away.
Don’t feel they didn’t care for you,
because they couldn’t stay.
Don’t damn the world for not returning
the love you feel you’ve given.
Don’t hate the one that you were yearning for,
because he couldn’t make a commitment.
Just think of him as experience,
and think how much you’ve grown.
Think of your plans of now and forever,
and hold them in your heart.
And remember that you do have friends
Who will walk the mile with you.

Through thick and thin.

Meaningful.

Eeerily scary.

I had a really long day today, emotionally spent and drained. So I thought I’d rest early, hence I didn’t do any work.

Just a few minutes ago, someone texted me this, “You must have had a long day. Have a good rest! (: “  and the number was a number that I didn’t have. So I thought to myself, who on earth would know that I’ve had a long tiring day and all I want to do now is to sleep? So I replied and asked who it was – apparently it’s my NIE classmate’s friend who approached me a long while ago via sms for his financial agent project (I have no idea what on earth was that) and I pulled out on the meet up because I double booked myself on the same time and day, and I did not reschedule with him after that.

I was freaked out when he replied that it was him. How would he know how my day was?!

My mind is running in overdrive. Not good when I’m emotionally down.

This has got to be a coincidence. He is just following up. I’m thinking too much.

Sigh.

As I was about to get down to doing some work this morning, I realised to my dismay that I had 15 minutes left before I had to start preparing to go to school.

SIGH. 

This is the main reason why I really don’t like noon/afternoon classes. By the time I wake up and get around to doing something, its almost time for me to leave the house. By the time I get home from classes, there’s too little time to sit down and do something worthwhile before its time for dinner.. Thus, the only time I can properly get work done would be at night, and I’ll have to stop myself from going online onto msn because I’ll just unleash the demon onto myself. 

Like what I did last night, and ended up talking to Roo, WH, YX, BX, Timtams. Rahhhhs. Not that I don’t want to talk to these guys (in fact I loveee talking to these guys) but my productivity just went downhill. 

But did you know how tiring coming up with worksheets can be? 

Sigh. 

There are so many things I would like to do, catch up with friends, do something that is not work related, clear the CSC accounts but there is just too much stuff, too little time. I want to go down for diving training and kaypo into ST/Roo’s training! I want to be able to go off to Bintan without having things hanging over my head, I want to go walk around Adelphi and audition CD players with speakers, I want to plan Taiwan for family! I want to spend more time with friends and boyfriend (not that he is that free, his social calendar is packed for the next three days). 

So many things to do, so little time. 

In the meantime, Restaurant City is up and my restaurant is back in swinging action!
