Round up entry for the semester

Finally, the semester has come to an end.. so many things happen that I think they really deserved an entry on them. Let me recall what had happened during the semester. First day of school, I remembered Alex trying to set expectations for the honours class that really freaks me down the spine as I was doubtful that I’m up to it. Anyway, I managed to survive during the semester.. Phew.. The class was damn big, it was mentioned that it was the largest social work honours class with 48 of us… Anyway one of the happiest things that happened to me is that I have become good friends with some of them whom I thought I would not even talked to coz they looked so “cool” for the past 3 years.
One of the first bonding activities that we have is that everybody agreed to wear the same color to school for a week, thus we have a wear white day. Wear pink day and a wear black day! Even the lecturers wore the same color, it was so cool, and I really feel so glad to be part of the honours class.

A few of us also went out to eat after class on a Friday evening. It was an odd combination of friends, but trust me the outing really went well. Hehe

N yes for the first time in NUS, we have birthday celebrations with our friends. First is the Cindy’s plan where we try to surprise her with a awfully chocolate cake in our newly renovated canteen. She was of course surprised and touched by our actions ;) Second, is the RL plan which took a toil on me. Because Cindy’s plan turn out too well, so the expectations of RL plan went up… and we have to role play a scene. I was one of the main actress in the play. I have to forced up tears to pretend that I’m really sad while we were having our research meeting and went off to meet the rest of them where the cake is. Cindy ran after me and then she called Rachel over. That’s where the surprise came. And tadah our birthday surprise for RL really went well!

Rach's Birthday



Amidst all the struggling with the modules especially SW4214 n SW4102. SW4214 is a module that we have no choice but to take, many felt cheated of the money. This module is disastrous as every week passed, I felt more stupid after the lecture ahha, as it is very history oriented which is what I’m really sucked at ahaha. And the assignment is horrendous! One 20 page assignment, and a 20 mins individual presentation. Tsk tsk so glad that its all over now. And for SW4102, although the lecturer is very grandfatherly and nice but there was no structure in the lectures, I cant believe we started the introductory lecture in week 6 which is supposed to be in week 1! :S

Before the mugging began, we have a destressed activity together as a class and with some of our juniors. Yes the captain’s ball match! We got second in the end! Thanks Dr Ng for donating a welfare economics book for the prize and Dr Ngiam for contributing $50 for the prizes!! It was such a conspiracy as we are the ones organizing the match and we got the prizes for ourselves ahaha.





And yes everything has come to an end. I wonder whether next semester would be as happening as this semester!

If there is one person you can’t stop thinking about, post this same exact sentence in your journal.

I Am Me

In all the world there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me-my body,my feelings, my mouth, my voice;
All my actions, whether they be to others or to myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can encourage me.
And hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
Later, if some parts of how I looked, sounded thought,and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.
I am me and I am okay

I think I'm crazy. I was frightened by my own shadow!!!!!

Blessed!

My first Sunday spent without dear was with my SW4103 group mates. Although there is a lot of work to be done, I think I truly enjoyed the company of everyone in the group. I’m glad that I’m in this group. We meet up at 430pm, and we head to Florence house for our meeting. Guess, what Florence bought a lot of tidbits and donuts! Coincidentally. Waiping bought donuts too! We were munching away while doing our project, all the sounds of crunchiness have indeed lighten up the atmosphere of the meeting. Don’t u all think so?


Look at the tidbits that florence have bought! We are so well taken care of! I love the trolley!



Donuts bought by Waiping!

Although the donuts are nice, but i still think that krispy kreme donuts taste nicer!!!

Anyway, Florence’s room was so nice! I like her room, there are a lot of cows in the room. And her room makes me have a new liking on cows! They are so cute! I didn’t know they are so cute! Anyway, our project meeting ended quite late at round 10+pm. I reached home at around 1145pm.
During our project meeting, we were suggesting to come to florence's place to swim and play with cosmetics, not forgetting having our steamboat party at rach's place. Yeah activities are lining up for my holidays! Am so looking forward!
Oh thanks pw for asking me to go out that day, I felt very blessed with so many of you all taking care of me while dear is not around. Somehow, I felt like a little princess. Hahah

Updates

It has been quite some time since I have blogged. And my beloved 02A10ians are complaining. So here comes my new post. Yesterday we went to have our unintentional KS aka class rep’s birthday celebration. I feel so good meeting up with my jc friends again, reminiscing about the past really made me feel really old! We were counting how many years we have known each other and to my surprise it has already been 6 years! Time really passed. I guess we are really fighting for time to really make fully use of it. Once it is passed, you can never go back. So friends let treasure every moment and chance that we can be together ok. Jasmine don’t go back to the moon hao ma? KS dun always fly us kite ok? And our piggy mak dun go MIA ok? CSY claimed that she could not contact you this time round.
It was really fun yesterday although half the time we are having fun at the expense of our class rep, anyway he should feel honored that he really lighten up my lonely Friday night because my dear is not with me. Haa Oh, those who brought cameras yesternight, csy, ks, jas, please do your work by sending the photos to us hor!
Oh for your information, my dear has gone for overseas reservist last thurs. Sob sob. He is going to be away for 3 weeks and 3 days. This is also the first time he is away without me for sooo long. I have been missing him already. Anyway I promised him that when he come back, I’m going to cook him food, so I have not been slacking when he is not around, in fact, I am learning cooking from my mum today. I’m still trying to persuade my mum to cook nasi lemak tomorrow so that I can learnt some skills again. Haha Meanwhile, I think I am studying hard… still in the midst of doing my assignments and projects. Pray hard that I can finish by tomorrow so that I can start my revision next week, got tons of readings waiting for me to read. :S
Oh and I just went to collect my masks which I have bought from a spree last week. I’m feeling so happy!!!
I think all of you can feel that this post is quite random, updates here and there abruptly, so sorry for the randomness. haahaa

Hi friends, if you think you are sucks in parking, no matter how you cautiously you aim and park, somehow or rather your car is still park slanted and feel really bad about it. Fret not, i think this will really makes you feel much much much better...



I thought that it will be alittle exagerrating for me to say that maybe the driver did not realise that she has parked properly. Thought that she was being inconsiderate for the drivers who is going to park beside her. Luckily, dear's car is small enough to park beside her and I'm "small" enough to get out of the car. haha! Anyway, lets give her the benefit of doubt. Maybe she is in a hurry. haha
