Exams over!!!

Reached engin at 11.30 for lunch, and when we left NUH(yeah we went there for dessert...you shud try the strawberry milk ice there...its awesome!) it was 1.30..and i was like damn...how did i spend 2 hrs on lunch??? And then i realized, i dont need to be worried about spending so much of time on "nothing" cos i actually have nothing to do!! I'm done with exams..and that means end of sem 3 here in NUS!!

Damn it just feels so good to do all sorts of "nonsensy" stuff...and not feel guilty about it at all.....Mwahahaha...i love it when exams end...

Anyways, i better go and get ready now...we are gg to have chilli crabs at some place in Ang Moh Kio...and if i'm late, Dina will start her "aunty" scoldings again!

I know how i'm gonna get rich!

It has always been great to think of my self as this busy hotshot business woman, probably doing something like investment banking, and earning so much of money that i wouldn't even know what to do with it..Ok so maybe even if i were one of the richest ppl in the world, I'll still complain about not having enough money, but you get the point right..

So in pursuit of this ambition, I'm here at the Hell Gates of NUS, suffering and surviving, just to get a BBA which will take me to what i wanna do in the future..

But now, i have thought of a smarter plan...I think i'll just invest on my beauty, and get married to a rich man, probably some investment banker..(yeah then he won't be home for the most oart of he day, and i can be an independent woman also)... and then become what is known as a "tai Tai" i.e. those women who are married to rich men, and all they do is spend their hubbies' money, and go to all these big parties, and do extensive amounts of shopping, and play Mahjong...Ok so maybe i don't know how to play mahjong, but i'm sure its not tat hard to learn...or maybe i'll just skip that part...

So this means that i don't have to put effort into studying cos i'm gonna be rich anyways right??

F@#!ing pissed off!

So i went to down to the Hall office to apply for my vacation stay and storage...yeah i know i'm late but only by one working day lah!!!...And then Betty gave me both forms...and warned me about the fine for being late..I tried to plead with her saying that i was just a day late, but well i failed...come on, we are all really stressed out with exams..and forgetting something like this is not surprising..but oh well nevermind that...
Then when i had almost finished with both the forms, Valli refused to let me apply for vacation storage cos i was applying for storage in the middle of the vacation...WTF!!! She said i could apply for either 2 weeks at the beginning of the vacation or for 2 weeks at the end, not for bloody 2 weeks in the middle of the hols...F$@&!...What stupid rules are those???? I don't get the rationale behind that at all!!! I mean whats so hard ah??? Afterall I'm staying only cos of Hall commitments right..its all for Hall and they bloody cant be flexible with something like this..screw it!! And not like i have all the money in the world to just spend on F@#$!ing stupid stuff like this!
Now not only do i have to pay the late fee fine but also an Extra $120 or so when i'm not even gg to be in Singapore...I am so pissed off that i can literally feel the heat coming from me

Post exam bliss

I know exams haven't even started yet, and it's the "hell weeks" of the sem where any moment spent away from the books is unacceptable...but i was just thinking of the 6 weeks of bliss in December(well not 6 weeks maybe...but well atleast there'll be no schoool)...and i just had to blog abt what i'm planning to do then

1. Go home
2. Go shoppping
3. Get my camera fixed - Dilesh, if u are reading this..yes there is something wrong with the cam...more details when i meet u aite?
4. ECP - cycling and good food
5. Ice skating
6. Clubbing..

So B7P plus the rest of the gang...4,5 and 6 are hinted at u'll...lets decide on dates k????

Happy Deepavali/Diwali!!!

Lighting crackers...meeting relatives...hanging out with cousins...new pretty clothes...good food...mum's sweets...the Tv-shows..and simply the air at home...I miss all that..i wish i could be at home for Diwali:(

Anyways, here's wishing all my peeps out there an awesome Diwali!!!

Choices

Decisions - they are always tough..especially when they involve two alternatives, neither of them foregoable. And when you make choices amongst those alternatives, you really don't know if what you are doing is right or wrong, or if thats the best decision you can come to...but you know that sooner or later, you are going to have to choose...and so you do choose in the hope that everything is for the best.

But if that choice ever turns out to not to be the one that you should have chosen, then the amount of regrets, unhappiness, and sadness that it brings along with itself are just so large that they cannot even be defined by words.

I know i acted upon instincts to some extent, cos there should have been some reason behind my mind's hesitation, but then again, i always hoped that things would work out alright in the end...and i still hope so...although i really dont know how that is gonna happen...but i seriously hope that small incidents like this don't get in the way of me trying to make my choice sound as rational/correct as possible...

P.S I miss my mum...and dad...and i miss home...I wanna go back...:(

Its amazing how technology has overtaken our lives...Its become such an in-built part of our lives now, and without most of its offerings, i don't think many of us will be able to "survive" even a day..

Whats the 1st thing that you do when you wake up in the morning...well many of us (including me *sheepish grin*) tend to check our emails/facebook before even washing up!!!! Well most of those who don't atleast do so after washing up

And then, how many times a day do you check your email/facebook?

And how much of frustration do you go throught when the internet is down for just a few hours!!!

Can you imagine life without a cell phone?? I definitely can't...and i don't know how we managed to survive those years without a cell phone!!!

And then imagine life without TV/sopcasts/streaming..more like life without TV serials etc provided to us once again by technology....It wo0uld be horrible!!!

Sometimes, when people ask us how to spell a word, we "air-write" it because sometimes, we need to do that inorder to get the spelling out of ourselves...but the other when my friend asked me how to spell "exogeneous", i actually "air-typed" it!! I was simply shocked at myself while my friend was in absolute stages of hysteria!


Anyways, while i still ponder over the wonders and addictions of technology, i know i need to get back to studying for exams which seem to have come a bit too fast!!! So forgive me if the blog remains idle for some time...but wait come to think of it, i might jsut blog more than usual now since i need to study...and that means i find all sorts of ways of distracting myself from what i need to dooooo!!!

hey there delilah

Plain White T's Hey There Delilah Lyrics

- lip balm (body shop or bliss tex preferably)

I want
- a pair of small heeled open toed shoes
- a bronze bag
- a bronze/white belt (those big ones worn outside your clothes)
- a cute retro dress
- an off the shoulder top


So what does this mean? SHOPPING!!!! IN A BIG SCALE!!!

P.S. i know there's more in the back of my mind...but at the moment, with the swoc rally going on around me...i dont think i can think much..so as and when i remember, this post will be edited!:D

sundar morning blues....

9.30a.m on a Sunday morning and I'm in the HSSML....sigh...Life as an NUS undergrad this is!!!!!!!!!!!

Update

A hectic semester filled with school work topped up by CCA's and personal crisises - its extremely hard to be blogging in the midst of all this..

Anyways..for an update - Year 2 means harder work than year 1 and how thats even possible i really dont know..but honestly i really have no time apart from school work to really concentrate on anything!!! Plus, i have hall activities to take part in as well..i anyways had my Photocomm...and Hall Pub, which i joined cos i enjoy em...and then i took up Sheares Enterprise Chair. I know many may have been shocked, or surprised at this decision - and i can tel you that it came suddenly, but that doesn't mean i haven't put much thinking into it..I was anyways planning to join SE this year for a better looking resume...and when the opportuniy to chair came up, i took it. After all, thats something that bizad emphasises right - opportunities come knowcking only once!

With all this, i barely get any time for myself these days..explains the zombie look on my face most of the time...but i have been majorly slacking this week...what with 4 having completed midsems i know i deserve it..but i cant afford to slack anymore with deadlines, CA's and finals just staring right at me..

Chris Daughtry Lyrics

Coincidence?

Yen, Dina, Sandra and I - we all have 2 things in common at the moment
- we haven't been buaya-ed yet
- we are the so called B7P and the minority of the block..

Is this a "coincidence"?...

But whatever it is, i'm sad that i haven't been shown any love whatsoever in the week that i'm supposed to be showered with it

just 5 weeks into the sem, and i'm already facing a huge back log of work...And i've been trying to keep up...and not slack...but somehow i still seem to be very behind..

So i'm in the library now surfing through loads and loads of online shopping blogs...looking at all these pretty stuff and wondering if i should just move away from my "no shooping" resolution for just one dress...and maybe one denim skirt...and a bronze bag...and just another halter...Ok this is not gonna work...I'm just getting more and more attracted to the stuff on the blogs...

Oh btw..i did mention i was in the library didn't i...well the whole point of me coming to this terribly freezzing place was to watch my DSC2003 webcasts...but well look what i've been upto!!!

Oh well..mayb i should attempt to get back to the webcasts...rather start on them...

Just a dress i saw and am absolutely in love with..should i go for it...$22??

This slackeress promises to update her blog frequently from now on!!!!

Surprise!!!

Yes...it was Saturday the 9th....Only Rishan knew that i was back in Lanka...and that too only cos he flew back with me...and i needed an accomplice for my plans!! Ha ha!! Initially hasna was supposed to be my accomplice but then dates got changed and i decided to fly ealier...so used rishan!!!

So the day was planned perfectly..the guys wud watch Spiderman and then go to dinemor for lunch...and i would just walk into dinemore and "surprise"!!! BUt wait...plans never work out the way they are supposed to...especially with us

The first spoiler was Hasna not getting permission to join...hmmm...so i changed my plan..i would drop by at her place and surprise her...and drag her along with me...Then came the second problem...they changed plans from the flower road dinemore to the liberty one...now i was wondering if aunty would say yes to that....but ha ha..she did...so YAY!! we got into the threewheeler and set off!!

But the biggest bummer was when we got there...there were no belvoirians in sight at all!!! What the cux!! Ok...call rishan now...but fella out of credit!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...now what!!! Who knew that a surprise could be that hard...so anyway finally we somehow got thru to him and found they were in excel world!!! BUMMMMMMMMMMER!!!!! Now how were we gg to get permission from Hasna's mum for that.....well well...crossing our fingers we went back to Hasna's...and there we somehow got permisssion for Hasna!! YAY!!

SO finally we got to excel world...while i hope for no more changes, Hasna is enjoying her ride alone in a 3 wheeler...with no chaperone....and savouring every moment of her so called "adevnture"!!!

We get to excel world...both of us haven't sighted the place in ages...and so we kinda had no sense of direction...but somehow we manage to get directly to the food court where we see them!! now HAsna and i just walk in that direction...Rameez is the 1st person to spot me...and he does a double take...haha...and then one by one ppl go "OMG, Nithiya!"...and sajjaaad, the best if the lot...he stands up and says "Bitch....come here...gimme a hug"....ha ha...and thats how the hugs started...and one by one they kept coming!!! I was soooo happy...the happiest i have been in a loooooooong time!!!

Well after that, we basically ate....hung out...went bowling...etc etc...and then it was back home!!

But all in all...the reactions on my frens faces was worth all the effort put into the surprise!

Home sweet home

The breath of fresh Sri Lankan air, warm and friendly faces allover, familiar languages around me, my loving family, life long friends, the not-so-clean roads, the pot holes here and there, the butiks, the cyclists, the commenting guys, the sea, the natural greenery, the lorries, the crowded buses, the stray dogs, the check points, some rundown houses in between the better maintained ones, the fresh aroma of spices, the waterfalls...oh and sooo much more - but basically an imperfect country but my paradise....

Its heavenly to be back home!!!!

Sri Lanka...here i come...

Yes!!! YAY!!! I'm going home!!!! And that too for more than a month i believe!!! This is awesome!!!

I've already planned out what to do

- Chill out at home
- Shopping
- Catch up on all the TV serials
- Surprises
- Download all infinite amounts of movies and Tv shows
- Hang out at Hasna's
- Force Hasna to make me chocolate mousse everytime i visit her
- Dinemore - Ah the Shawarmas
- Lankan Food - and loads of it too!!
- Kandy trip!!!
- Shopping
- Learn to cook (I really see my self consciously forgetting to do this)
- Reunions
- Leisure World
- More shopping
- Phone hogging
- Harry Potter and any other book i find to be interesting in the bookstore
- Cricket
- laze around while parents do everything for u:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Anyway, thats all i remember for now...if and when i update the list will post an entry:D

Mixed Feelings...

Ok...so people have been complaining that i never update my blog...ha ha..so well i decided to post an entry today..well was actually planning to post this for some time...but being the lazy bum that i usually am, i never got through to blogging..ha ha..

Anyways..so one year in NUS has officially come to an end..I really dont know whether to feel happy or sad :S. Well i could feel happy in the sense that one year in NUS is down...so i have one less year to spend studying in NUS...but then again, that is one reason to feel sad also..After all these are my college years...and days u spend here are supposed to be the most fun of your whole life..but they honestly havent been the best of my life...maybe cos i expected something different..something more fun...and definitely something less stressful...sigh...But staying in Sing after exams this time has really made me look at things in a different perspective...

Firstly i should consider myself lucky to be in NUS...not everyone gets a chance to come here...and those who come are the "creme de la creme"...and every single one of us is one of them...Once i got in, i thought that was the biggest achievement in life..and slacked throughout my first sem..haha..that was very well reflected in my grades..but then this sem...things were different...i worked quite hard..although not to my best ability..and my CAP did improve..and i'm happy for that..and it would have been higher had it not been for my FNA2002 for which i was really expecting better...anyways, now i know what i want...and what i should do to achieve that..so next sem i guess i should really give it my best shot and see...

Guess my involvement in hall stuff will definitely be lower next year...Not cos i dont love Sheares..i do feel a very big sense of loyalty to my hall...but its just not worth my parents money i guess...its better that i get involved in more stuff that will help me produce a good resume....

Oh...i just realized my entry has gotten sooo long :P..anyways...let me finish this entry off and post some fotos on my blog...since that has been another complaint too....

And my love life...

Exams.......

And so the last of my classes for sem 2 in NUS, Singapore are over!!! Time flies...it just seems like it was yesterday that i came to S'pore but now its like 2 sems!!!! Whoa!!!
But i do miss my family eons...and friends back home too...it seems like i've not seen them for an eternity!!! I'm having a severe case of acute nostalgia for those days back home especially since it is avurudhu and all tmrw....and the new facebook conversations that are brewing up among all of us friends i not helping at all!!! Neither are the exams that are just around the corner..
Oh well talking about exams, we just got back our Group projects for SSA2219 today...and guess what...we got only a stupid 65!!!! He said that the average was around 70....damn sad after all the effort we put in...and the toopic was suggested by our tutor...but the lecturer kinda condemned the topic too!! wth.. And as the only member of my group that hasn't S/U'd the module he told me that i will have to put in extra effort if i wanna get a good grade...in other words i will have to work my ass off for the final exam!! Oh well..nothing more can be done..so hope that i can actually do well!! Pray for me people!

This cannot be happening...

OMG!!!! DINA!!! I cannot absorb this information!!! A Sheares without her!!! And all cos of a small mistake she made...but who would have expected Dina to have forgotten to submit her application...I mean she's the mature motherly figure who does everything so methodically!!! She was one of my first Singaporean friends...or atleast Singaporean in the sense that she's been here for more than 14years!!!
Has everyone given up...I hope atleast someone still has hope??? Isn't there anything that can be done??? Not Rosanne??? Or Jian Hui??? Couldn't blub and seah have done anything..maybe nominate her for master's list!! I'm pretty sure that some people think that it was a conspiracy our block heads to get her out of the way...but i sincerely hope not...As far as i know them, i know they wouldnt have...Maybe they had to give a reason justifying their reasons...and maybe they didnt have a reason as to why Dina should stay back..in terms of the fact that she hasn't done much for the block! But what more can she do!! She has pretty much come down for all block activities and supported the block...and she's the to be touch captain tooo....atleast if she can stay back in hall!! And she was a very dedicated and loyal worker for CMB..and a ragger tooo!! so y can't anyone help her???
I wish there were something i could do...maybe i should talk to abhi or law..even though i dont know them much!!! And even though it may seem stupid for me to talk to themm...its still a small way to help her...i should talk to blub and seah too!!! Damn....this is bad...
Finally i think that yen's nick makes sense at the moment - "Does everything happen for a reason? Even so, it doesn't make it easier to accept them!"

I need some peace of mind...Answer = temple!

I've been wanting to go to the temple for ages now...honestly...and i would have gone today...if i had not come to the sudden realization that it's a public holiday today and lil India would be filled with the construction workers!!!! Sigh...Next week for sure

IT1801 = pure torture

IT1801...why on earth do we business students have to take this module? Why do Students take up computing degrees? What is the use of an IT dept in a company if they can't do stuff like this??? They should get all these freaking IT grads unemployed...This is lilke so not fair...esp to poor gurls like me who have no idea of how to write a simple VBA instruction let alone get a whole program running!!! Oh man....I'm so freakng screwed!!!!! Help please!!!!

Eye candy...

Not only is he total eye candy...he's a very nice guy too...and has a wonderful accent that makes you wonder when he'll start talking again....and his smile is oh so gorgeous...but well what to do...next week is the last tutorial and he's graduating this sem too..and i dun want any guy in my life...don't think i can handle it...But i kinda miss the person on the other side of the world...Hope he gets back soon..wanna see him again...
Anyway..i think my droolings about hot guys are enough for the moment...i should get back to my freaking IT!!!

Screwed up sleep cycle...

Exams around the corner...deadlines anywhere i turn...quizzes appearing from no where...and with all this how do you expect me to sleep??? And how could you expect me not to sleep???
Didn't sleep at all on Saturday night cos of webcasts...and cos i was studying in pgp and was lazy to walk back..and then took like a 3hr nap on sunday...and i dedicated the whole of the Sunday night to watch the Lanka Lions in action...and it was worth it...Anyway that meant that i had only 4.5hrs of sleep before my lectures and tutorials on Monday...so i lied down for a half an hour nap at 7pm but woke up to find out that the time was 4a.m...yeah you read correct...4a.m.!!! See thats how screwed my sleep cycle is!!! And that meant that i missed Senior's Farewell..damn!! was looking forward to that and feel bad that i couldn't go...Should have gone atleast for Jason and our other Beekers!!! damn my sleep cycle!! anyway..now that i'm up...i should get some studying done...so toodles for the moment!!

There's always a first time

So there's always a first time for everything...and this time its for blogging...so maybe its not exactly my first time...i have blogged in my team blogs...but that doesn't really count right??? And maybe i did have a blog for like a looooong time...but it contained only one post..and i never bothered to update it...but now for some reason i feel like blogging...maybe its another new way i have found to slack..and waste time..first it was just msn...then it was you tube and msn...then fan pop and other random sites got added in...recently it has been alot of facebook...and now my blog!!! Then there are all those times spent going through all my fotos, and taking my own pix on my mac...such a self obsessed person huh? And then there are the online shopping blogs...although i never buy anything....and also apple trailers...and well basically

I'm an awesome procrastrinator!!!
