over-procrastination....

trust me to over-do things... think I procrastinated a LITTLE too much this sem... 6 days more til UROPS is dued, still no final data.... gonna try some last resort measures on Thu, and need to do a mountain load of readings and stuff (not to mention, prep a presentation)... gonna be such a sleepless week... and there's still the Jap indiv report to do, as well as journal #2 for behavioral and assignment 2 for tumour (900 word essay!!! SO need to re-read that paper!!) Yesh... I only have myself to blame for all the piles of stuff to do, as well as my lack of sleep etc.... been a student for like 15, 16 years and I STILL have issues with time management!!! Feel pretty useless at the moment... Hope you guys don't mind me having any sudden moods swings or bouts of moodiness/crabbiness/grouchiness... It's the lack of sleep, and the person I am most irritated with is ME!! Excuses aside, I really shld get back to mugging and writing my UROPS report.....

Chances are the next proper entry would be just before/during reading week....

Okies, enough abt me.... Mum seems to be enjoying her weekly 40DoP discussion sessions @ Auntie Poh Khim's ^^ REALLY glad that she not only signed up for the campaign, but also joined a discussion group (all that talk abt her being worried abt pple gossiping behind her back... there may be some black sheeps ard who don't know ant confidentiality amg a church group, tho' I think it's basic courtesy to just keep wat is said amg acquaintances/friends amg the pple involved, esp for more sensitive issues) Mondays are her sharing days, where I come back from NUS and there she is, waiting to share abt the pple in her discussion group, and how the discussion went ^^ Of course, she can't share too much details with me, but still happy that she is feeling comfortable with the group. If she decides to stay on and come to church regularly after the campaign, it would be fabulous!! Been praying for my immediate family that they would either come to church on a regular basis or come to know and trust God and Jesus as their person Lord and Savior ^^ Shall keep on praying and believing!

don't inconsiderate pple get on your nerves?!

Din really wanna blog about this but it has gotten to a state which I really cannot take it... WHAT IS IT WITH THE FOREIGN YEAR ONE LSM STUDENTS IN SPS?!? Some of them have absolutely NO consideration or courtesy for the people around them whatsoever.... Not that I dun haf my own bouts of noisiness that can disturb those hardcore muggers, but I try to not affect the other pple ard in SPS... we are supposed to be working AS a community, and be aware that the room is SHARED....

The first one is this guy that keeps his stuff near my area, well, he kinda took over Junliang's area since JL went for NOC, so fair enough... But the only thing that griped me was that if I come later to NUS, he would WITHOUT fail be sprawled on the table (right in front of my stuff and not his, mine you) sleeping, with his notes spread out... Which can be understandable since we do get tired and need a shut eye or two in between mugging, but this fellow just sleeps there for a few hours!! The even more irritating thing is that his bag would ALWAYS be on the table no matter what... even if he is awake and the room is crowded, and he DEFINITELY knows this since crowded SPS = noisy SPS....

And this morning as I come in, I see tonnes of ST2238 notes spread all over my area, so it seems like there were some nightowls mugging for mid-terms... peanut shells (and bits of peanuts on the floor and on the table as well) She got up when I turned on the lights but was OK with me moving her stuff a little so that I could have some space... What was NOT OK was that her fren sleeping in the chair just next to her is using MY nice furry huggable jacket!!! *whines* And I really LOVE to hug it, so now since some guy has used it (prob for the whole nite), it's gonna stink of someone else... a someone else that I dun even noe!!! So need to lug it home for washing... gonna go bitch to mum when I get home.... as if I din already have so many things to carry homw with my file, Jap text and lappie.... such a crummy way to start off the day :( they just woke up, and that stupid guy doesn't even have the sense to return my jacket!!! Aargh.... really need to talk to these pple.... simply no idea of what it means to be a community.... Lord, just give me the calmness and words to talk to them about my jacket, that I dun end up being unneighborly or unloving....

EDIT [07.30h]:
Just talked to that guy, and he's not even from SPS... just came to study with the girl... really cannot stand he attitude.... reacted with a "I didn't know it's your jacket" when I only mentioned about not any ol' how use pple's stuff (so, if he realises that it's mine, shldn't he just return it instead of just leave it in a messy little pile on the chair he was sleeping in?!), and an utterly insincere and un apologetic "I'm sorry"... Furthermore, if he already heard me complaining to Ifty earlier (which I tink he did since he was a little to ready with his reactions), shouldn't he like hurry up and return my jacket and apologise, instead of just leaving it, and walk around the room packing his stuff?! I know I would hurry up and return the stuff and apologise ON MY OWN ACCORD and MEAN my sorries.... Really can't stand it when pple just use my stuff w/o asking, and esp w/o letting me know later..... *collects jacket* Wonderful.... now my jacket smells Indian (not that I wanna be racist) but that's not exactly wat I wld want sth that I love to snuggle and hug to smell that way......... *cries*

a twinkle of light..

Seems that all is not lost, at lesat not yet... received the results for JLPT 3, and I passed, and rather comfortably too ^^ Though the reading-grammar section ate up most of my points, the vocab section wasn't done too well either... Oh well, here's the JLPT 2 at the end of this year ^^ Maybe I shld study properly and aim for full marks! *bwahaha* Just thankful for the little blessings, to tide me over this busy month ahead....

On a side note, it seems that my latest posts dun seem to show up somehow, have to refresh a couple of times to read them... so weird...
