One long entry
Hey peepz. One hectic week for me has passed. This is the week of my tutorial, and given that it was an odd week, I had extra 6 hrs of tutorials to attend. It was horrible. I was tired constantly throughout the week, not to mention late all the time for my first lesson of the day...Have to help mum with the CNY deco and stuff, keeping buying food and drinks for the CNY back to the house. At least there is a 4 or 5 days off for hols...for me la. I can rest.
My tutorial tutors ranges from good to worst... worst tutor is without a doubt mgt sci. Horrible. She teaches with her face to the board and her body blocking everything else on the board. Hmm, what are we supposed to see and learn? (so bad of me) My Mkting tutor is a little eccentric, but in a good way. My soci (making sense of society) tutor is a very open-minded tutor. She allows us to use the f*** word and the d**k word. Yeah, those words...She uses them herself. Hmm...interesting.
It is CNY, but yet I already have a couple of readings that I need to read. Plus tutorials and a need to catch up with all those Mgt Sci lectures that I had skipped...yes yes. Already I am skipping lectures...I skipped a grand total of 3 lectures this month. No good for someone who don't exactly have the habit of skipping lectures....(yes yes I am THAT guai). So much to catch up...but I had fewer projects to handle than last sem. I hope I can handle this sem's work.
In short, I am bored with the amount of work I have to do and I really want to enjoy this CNY even though the novelty of CNY has worn off me so many couple of years...
This is such a dreary entry and considering it's CNY, I shall switch the topic.
Talking about soci, I was doing a little of my reading yesterday cos I REFUSED to sleep (don't ask me why), and came across this ethnocenterism thing. The author hinted that the Americans and others who asked "why don't other people speak english" seems to be kinda conceited and silly....they are the ones who can only speak one language (english) you see, while most of the "other" people can speak more than one language...even the Africans and us Singaporeans. We should be asking that question to them, not them to us. It may not seems funny to you, but it was to me. How often I heard this line on the english reality tv shows I watched, esp The Amazing Race...It just cracked me up. The author was right on the money...he really should say this to the TAR contestants every year in their faces!!!
I need to work out and exercise and run and....I don't know what else....I just need to get my bones working. I thought I was really really really unhealthy considering that I haven't work out for months, but guess what? Yingqi and Linda were worse. We were running after the internal shuttle bus that day. I wasn't the fastest of the 3 (I was never a fast runner, but then again I was wearing a demin skirt which was really impossible to run...use imagination to imagine). We couldn't catch it, and when they sat down, they were panting quite badly. Yes, panting. I wasn't panting, or I wasn't panting as much as them I think. It wasn't such a long distance...or so I thought. I guess I am still erm....healthier than them? But I can forsee myself 2 years down the road, looking like them...
It's still a dreary entry isn't it? Something happier something happier...
Next week it's such a short week...I only have 2 hrs of lecture on wed!! Considering to skip it again since it was webcast...
Actually, I really can't feel any happiness in that previous 2 lines....
I think I should consider aiming for cap 5 this sem...just to give me something impossible to do and perhaps a purpose in life...I am still kinda wishing that I have the life I want, but I now don't even know what kind of life I want. Life is confusing and difficult...
Ok....I need to get more excited. I bought another minature perfume again...really happy. I absolutely love minature perfumes. Don't have to worry that you can't finish the perfume before it turns stinky, don't need to have big big bucks to get a decent branded perfume, and the bottles are way cooler. Sure, Linda said I paid more for a bottle of 4 ml of perfume as compared to buying a....30ml perfume. But I prefer to buy lots of them and can switch them up whenever I wanted without worrying that I bought too many of them. And the bottles are really cute. I can collect them!! I found J Lo's minature Live...too bad the bottle wasn't coloured like the original big bottle. But I like the smell. The next minature I will buy is that!And hopefully it will then sell coloured bottles of j lo's live!!! And Gucci's envy me!!
Hmm..entry getting happier.
I can't get Ricky Martin's Drop It On Me out of my head....it was really catchy and I like it. Heard it on the ch5 victoria secret fashion show....whoa that show rawks!@! Adriana Lima rawks!!! Gorgeous woman...drop dead at her feet. Not to mention every girl was in her knickers...yes yes I am a perverted girl. Along with that song I like sean paul's we be burnin...and shakira's la tortura...
Latin culture!!! I want to learn spanish!!! To learn how to speak like a latina, and talk like a latina. Latins are so sexy, passionate....that's what I thought from my views on tv shows and stuff. Yes, my view is myopic. But I gladly stayed in this perfect latin world of mine...it seems kinda like utopia to me.
Like the movie Memoirs of a Geisha...don't understand what were all the hoo-has about them was about. It wasn't that bad, in fact I thought it was pretty good. But perhaps I never read the book before watching it, thus my expectations was too low? But then again, I learnt a couple of lessons that never expect too much from a movie that was adapted from a book....anyway if anyone of you has a chance, catch the movie "dangerous minds". It was adapted from a book too...I can't remember which. But it was good.
And I am reading memoirs currently. Thanks carisse!!
Next movies : Brokeback mountain (Heath Ledger!!! Hopefully it will be a m18 show instead of a r21 show when I want to watch it...), Casanova(My dear heath again!!!), Matchpoint and Transamerica.
Recent obession: air in the hair...
I better go. Or else I would be chewing your ears off. Or eyes. Whatever. Don't be affected by my dreary words initally. It was just sheer tiredness of my mind that pushes me to say something like that. Be upbeat!!!! After all, it's CNY!!! Worst come to worse, there is the money in the ang baos to speak about...
Cheerios....enjoy the hols!!!
P.S Linda, if you are reading this (which most prob not likely), I watched cheaper by a dozen on rental dvd. Kinda funny...I love the youngest 2 boy twins!! So cute. There was 1 part whereby they were showing the outtakes, and one boy said, " I learnt from the 'goodest'." LOL...
