you know you (insert word) too much when you…

1. SHOP

- go to kenyalang and end up with a whole bag full of stuff. really pretty, cheap but completely unnecessary stuff.

- want to buy fake make-up to decorate your room (*ahem* ring a bell, eva wong? )

- think that starving to save money (to shop) is wholy acceptable.

- spend 10 minutes in a dinky stationary shop and end up buying 3 lanterns.

- buy smth you don’t need/don’t think is nice just because its cheap (cue dkny purse)

- hyperventilate when you see a shop selling everything for rm 15 (<3 sungai wang. yes, just call me lala chieng)

- must buy smth from the discount rack (so beng lynn! )

- realise that you empty bag you brought back, that can contain 30 kg worth of things, is now, nt so empty anymore.

(yes dear shoppers of the world. feel guilty now)

2. WATCH TV

- can recite the schudule for all the shows on axn and the hallmark channel.

- start speaking like certain characters in the series that you currently watch! (him nice. him don’t bite!)

- feel super bored the moment there is no electricity in the house cos you can’t watch tv/stream shows online.

3. BIMBO

- manis and pedis are a way of life.

- know too much abt hollywood.

- e! = cnn

- perfected the bimbo accent

- can tell someone exactly what happened in the latest ep of gossip girl, but for the life of you, can’t remember what this morning’s ft updates were abt.

- have watched nth but chick flicks (discounting final destination) throughout summer

- leave your storybook entitled “chasing harry winston” behind, and without asking whether or nt it belongs to you, your mother immediately takes it and passes it back to you.

________________________________________________________________________________________

so holidays are amazing, have been and always will be. my brain is just rotting as we speak as it has not been put to much use over the last 3 months (apart from my short stint interning tht is)

its been a really good summer. wouldn’t have changed much. maybe would have travelled more, but i was too lazy to plan anything so ended up spending most of my time in kch but it was good.

back to school now. can’t say i’m dreading it, but at the same time, can’t say i’m looking forward to going bck. 3rd yr. how time flies. i’m nt ready to grow up. i want to be a fresher all over again. and maybe some things will have been different.

ever wondered what could have been if you could turn back time?

i do. constantly.

confucious says, you con-fused?

“the law is confused”

to which i reply to dear mr hedley, author of a tort text book, that makes two of us. I AM BLOODY CONFUSED.

ok, maybe not bloody confused. but some what so. after reading and reading i only have some what of a picture of what the duty of care is abt. how the HELL am i going to sit for exams in 2 months i have no idea. and this is like one topic of half a paper, of which i have 5.

*sad, pitiful face*

anyywayyys, you knew i was going to whine and blog abt how sad my life is so here goes =)

exams are coming. again.

everytime i think abt tripos all the rainbows in my head disappear and are replaced with scary dark clouds. and lightning.

it HONESTLY really feels like just not long ago i was sitting for my 1st yr papers. and now, here i am, nearly at the end of 2nd year. so jiwangifying. makes me think about what i have accomplished thorughout the year, how i’ve grown/changed, how i’ve gotten to know people better, how the things happen for a reason, what i’ve learnt – about life, about people, about myself.

it is 2009. i’ll be graduating in a yr or so.

that is just so scary, not knowing what will happen to me after.

oh, oh, OH. today i went to the LIBRARY. yay me! i think libraries are good for me. for one, i actually work, evn if i still have an attention span of a goldfish, i get somethings done. ALSO, since there is nth to eat and i have no coins/too lazy to walk to the vending machine, i don’t eat random rubbish the whole day! as is the case when i stay in my room to work. its scary how you just keep eating to procrastinate. really.

so tmr, its back to the library agn.. more work done hopefully. its been 2 wks of hols already. omg. that is scary. can’t recall how i spent my days, except the first 4 days that was spent in italy travelling with my cell members. italy was awesomee. the sun, the gelato and the random posing. although i don’t think i could look at gelato and pasta for sometime to come..

here are some pics!

a group pic of all that went on top the 97.2 m tower that we CLIMBED.

meisheng, wanlin and i at the posh restaurant diane where we had our one’fine-dining’ dinner!

and here, the millionth time we were eating gelato..

and here with all our random drinks at the jazz bar we went to. <3 vodka + oj =)

trip was really fun. good times, getting to everyone better. also, i have decided to be more intellectual from hence forth. everyone says i’m a bimbo. which is kinda depressing if you ask me.  like totally! ok, i’m kidding. i don’t speak like that in real life. i will now only speak of things that matter, like poverty, the credit crunch and WORLD PEACE! haha.

i just realised how i didn’t blog abt anything i did throughout lent. except steal jing’s blog post. hee. will sometime soon post up loads of pics to attempt to potray how lent has been for me. was a trying term, let’s just put it that way. insane amt of sup work for us poor land economist (mad 6 sups a weeks = 6 essays. can’t believe i actually pulled that off), THAT paper 6 project, snow snow snow, snow fights in between lectures, snow fights in the middle of the night, meeting mahathir, co-producing our AWESOME m’night (which i kinda miss now. no more bugging kenrick and watching random practices..), halfway hall (emos), cny ball (still can’t believe i lost chinese chess to a less-than-sober person!), cumsa ball, relinquishing our cumas’s posts, random cookouts in my room, random shopping trips, humbling experience of internship hunting, being an emotional wreck and yet pretending everything’s okay, growing closer to some and then watch some drift away.

8 weeks. rollercoster indeed.

and i remain confused.

oh do you realise how katy perry’s ‘hot and cold’ song is perfect for the weather these days?

“you’re hot and you’re cold, you’re yes (rain) and you’re no”

oh yes, you change your mind like a girl changes clothes alright.

ciplakted. oh yes, piracy

want to know what i’ve been up to as of late?

GO HERE

and HERE

thank youu wanton (jingy!)  i copy =)

i know i’m lazy.

END OF TERM IS NIGH!

(but that means easter hols, and studying. boo)

8 more sups to go till i’m home free.

OH, the JOY

I’M FREEEEE.

no more supervisions until next wk!

weee!

and before you say anything abt land economist being slack (i know thoughts are formulating in your head now), i’ve already suffered my insane, mad, hectic week of 4 supervisions in a one week, and then my other one on monday (which is today) meaning i literally had 5 in a row.

its no wonder i’ve been so bitchy-whiny-grumpy-insane the past week.

but now i’m HAPPY.

and FREE.

and HAPPY.

did i mention HAPPY?

went shopping just now, and gt myself the most amazing high school musical 3 poster!

so exciting!

wanted to get the mug as well, but thought that might have been pushing it.

anyways, i shall be off to spend my ‘free time’ well.

starting to look at job apps, and my my they look like so much fun.

yes, i haven’t forgotten. this week is ‘Grace-find-a-job’ week.

also need to start preparing next weeks supervisions, less i die next week.

some more my doctor sister (cos this is how ppl know her as) is coming to visit, so i’ll probly be bumming my whole weekend away, leeching of the pounds she is now earning XD

ok, enough bumming arnd today, tmr its down to serious business.

i mean it.

*serious business face*

on a completely random note.

its getting really cold.

i want a new jacket.

when is zara going to go on sale??

what a glorious day

today was my ‘no lecture’ day. how awesome.

unfortunately it had to start with some idiot setting off the fire alarm at 4 am. idiots. people who set fire alarms off for no apparent reason should be set on fire.

and no, i do not have violent tendencies or rage issues.

but anyhows, no lecture day is always fun. today i decided to be good and head down to town to buy books.

how intellectual right?

buying books and all. i can hardly contain my excitement.

i spent 100 pounds or so buying the things that bring me the most pain in the whole world.

wait, actually supervision work brings me the most pain see how its the work that makes me need to read the books right?

ok, i don’t know whats wrong with me today, i think i have somewhat lost my mind.

(yes, i did have one to begin with, contrary to popular belief)

OH!

and a bought a really pretty planner, so now i’m going to be superly organized.

its pink and has flowers =)

i was tempted to get the hsm planner, but i thought it might have been a tad riduculous for a 20 yr old to be carrying arnd a planner filled with supervision dates and DEADlines (haha. geddit? geddit?) that has zac efron on it.

but yeah. i realised that my supervisions are really skewed. one week i have 4 and the other 1. so basically on the 4 weeks (which is next week) i’ll be a half dead woman.

sigh. i guess as much work as i have to do, i’m actually really enjoying my subject choices this year. so far at least. which is a good sign. AND i finally decided what subjects i’m going to do. like confirmed confirmed and i’m nt going to change my mind anymore and if i do, jing ting can have….all my bak gua XD

anyways, going off now, gbk has 2 for 1 burgers! how awesome is that??

ps : my blog is going to be pictureless for a bit cos i forgot to bring back my camera cable. smart.

whirlwind

yes, i know my blog is super not updated..

have been too ‘busy’ as of late.

you know, with all the ‘work’ i have?

=)

anyways, since exams ended, practically a month ago, i have been busy doing nth.

don’t ask me how this is possible.

i have spent a whole month doing nth, but yet always seem to be doing smth.

i don’t make sense. ah well.

let’s try recap and go through my uber exciting life.

am now in london, in my sister’s place in holborn (which i can FINALLY find, all on my own. after countless times coming here yay!) have been ‘running’ arnd london the whole day, so tiring.

oh i did i mention i strongly dislike london?

its so hectic, and people walk too fast.

hmph.

*use patrick bimbo voice here*

like seriously? its, like, so, like tiring? like, omg? like there’s so many people, like totally busy.

i (heart) cambridge.

speaking of which, i think it hasn’t really hit me that my 1st year at uni has come to an end, and i am really leaving cambridge for 3 months.

don’t know why.

but my last few cambridge days (ever since we got back from amsterdam, which will be a story -filled with pictures hopefully- left for another day) have been H.E.C.T.I.C!

don’t ask me why i put the fullstops. i just did. it looks cool. haha.

anyways, have been packing (more like dumping stuff!) and taping boxes like there is no tmr.

i actually managed to pack up my entire room in a night + half a morning.

is that awesome or what?

=)

i mean seriously, i was so tired, i had NO idea what energy i was running on.

like ever since the day before garden party (which is also a story for another day, gosh i have so many stories to tell!) i have been running arnd non-stop.

i am going to chill arnd for the next couple of days.

weee.

well, except for the occasional shopping trips, i shall hide out in my sister’s room…and use her laptop, cos i can’t find my laptop charger. (pray its in one of my many storage boxes!)

when there’s nth to be done.

..you stop blogging frequently.

notice how since exams ended for me, i have barely touched my blog?

and seriously, when there’s nth to do, you realise how capable you are of doing nth.

i can now sleep for 12 hours a day.

i ACTUALLY take afternoon naps, smth i have not done in a LONG time.

you realise that you are capable of finishing two seasons of a series in 9 days.

you realise that bathing and eating aren’t as fun as you made it out to be during exams.

but sleeping however, that’s a different story.

sleeping is AWESOMEEE.

notice the complete lack of intelligence in this post.

too much sleep and ‘not using my brain’ for too long.

well, tmr is options day, so for once i actually have to go somewhere.

and the day after is department garden party and dos dinner.

and after that its cumas garden party planning all the way!

ok, i actually have proper things to do now, instead of me just sitting arnd doing nth.

but in my doing nth, actually did smth.

i don’t think i made much sense.

anyhoos.

went london to meet up with aimi, the mrs president, and mrs-ey-est person of all.

super fun, good food, good company, awweeesssoommme sights xD

then sometime last week, walked to granchester (a small town near cambridge), seriously we don’t have anything to do. pretty sights, loads of greenery..and cool looking houses.

and, other than that, just general lepaking with people who are done with exams.

dodgy fried chicken eating with jings, being wei yang’s curry laksa guinea pigs, watching euro 2008.

my life really is rather boring at the moment.

my biggest problem is whether or not i should sleep 13 hours as opposed to the 12 i am currently getting.

ooh, excitement!

haha. i’m kidding,la.

i suppose i’ve got to sort out garden party stuff, and sort of decide my options for next year.

sigh..

really don’t know what papers to take.

but oh well, i don’t have to decide anytime soon.

and, ooh. exam results out on the 19th.

i’ll probly be hiding it out in my room. wouldn’t dare to face anyone.

meet beopard.

this is beopard.

i got him for my 20th bday.

it is now my lucky beopard (inspired by lakshmii’s lucky monkey! xD) and i shall take him to results reading on the 19th.

we shall together, read from bottom up to find my name.

woot!

anyways, had a great day out yesterday with yanhong, lakim, yang and jyoe.

feels so weird to spent the whole day arnd town doing nth.

i still haven’t cleaned my room. its in a bigger mess than before xD

and i’m being very lazy.

been sleeping practically the whole day.

what a way to start my year ahead of me =)
