- I am stressed
- Near a nervous break down
- Ain't coping too well
- I feel like crying right now (stressed!)
- I feel so frustrated with myself for not being to cope
- I feel disappointed in myself for being so brain-blocked
I want to pass and get my Advance certification... Can't give up now...
About Me
- Mint + Bitter Chocolate = Heaven
- Just the blunt and honest me. Just someone who needs to air her inner most feelings and thoughts. Just a female who suffers from a crazy life journey, with lots of ups and down in her life. Just another moronic human being who wishes for peace and serenity in life one day.

Advances Of Student Life...
1) No lecture notes to read up prior to lectures.
2) No tutorial notes to refer to during tutorials.
3) Notes only left on the 'common' computer for 'extraction' post lecture
4) Time-table are subjected to changes, thus, need to self check on intranet for updates WEEKLY!
5) 3,500 essays/assignments are expected of every module and they weight about 20% of the final grade of the particular module.
6) Reference text costs at least SGD 100 each... (Luckily, only need 3, but nearly SGD 300+ flew away already)\
7) School starts at 8am and ends 7pm but has 2-3hrs break in between lessons!
8) Food is dirt cheap of SGD 1.50 for a bowl of mushroom noodles. *wow!*
9) You can borrow up to 12 reference books/journals from the library. (provided you have the strength to carry all of them home at once.)
10) Lockers are not provided and not allowed for rentals as it is only a 8mth course.
I feel overwhelmed at student life now!

Last Day Of Work
Tonight would be my last night duty for me and it would also mark my last day working in Ward 43 before I am off to study... No particular feeling, no sadness, no anxiety, no missing, absolutely nothing! Guess I am still not over Steven Gately's passing. Am still updating myself daily over his latest news, in search of autopsy results, urine tests for cannabis and waiting for the Bulgarian man to say his part of story. What infuriates me is that his Steven's partner, Andy, was like being intimate with the Bulgarian guy while Steven was supposedly asleep 'or rather dead' only to be woken the next afternoon realizing Steven was cold & blue in a crouching position the sofa, DEAD.
I somehow wished I would get to see the memorial service or burial ceremony via SCV or internet. Don't mind paying a little for it also. I just hope SCV would be able to do the same as it did with MJ's tribute with Steven's.
RIP Steven Gately. Boyzone would never be the same without. Your voice and smile will be missed by many fans, including myself, around the world. What is Boyzone without Steven, anyway???

Punggol Residence
Finally, in 4+yrs time, we will own our OWN home. At long last, a place to call 'OUR HOUSE' or 'OUR HOME'.
It is located at Punggol and when we went to select the unit at HDB Hub, it was like as we looked at the available units left, this particular unit number just appeared so fondly to us both at the same time that we said the unit number at the same time. So since both of us had the same unit in mind, we confirmed that very unit and it was available even by the time it was our turn to choose.
Ok, we will put the first deposit in 4mths. A whooping SGD20K from our CPF! The total cost of the house would be SGD309K and I guess it is ok considering that in future we will be near the MRT station, Bus interchange and a shoppping mall would be built.
Anyway, my in laws suggested we keep this good news from the PRC woman as they fear that she will pester my brother in law more persistantly for a house due to jealousy. I heard they have been applying few times only to fail in getting a chance to choose a flat. I am not sure about this but I have a gut feeling that is perhaps because the PRC just got her PR and moreover she ain't earning a single cent being jobless, thus, the government is 'clever' not to allow them to have a chance to have a flat unless their combine income is more as well as stable. Serve him right for marrying a jobless PRC woman who is dying to get a flat of her own... Serve him right also for being an irresponsible husband to his ex-wife, therefore causing a divorce, leading to him having to give up a perfectly furnished home. Maybe the government is also considering the fact that he has ever 'disposed' of a flat unit before that hence, slower the application process for him. Whatever! None of my concern, as long as they move out asap!

School Starts In 12 Days!
Went down to my future school to submit my admission forms and did a self-orientation tour around the school to reminisce my old school days 6 years ago when I was still my courtship phrase of my relationship. It was where we spent most of our dating time, studying together, eating lunch as a couple and doing our assignments at the library after school.
The place hasn't change much and old memories still run fresh in my mind.
However, this time, I return back to the school without him to eat lunch or study with and do assignments together. This time, I return back to the school married and taking my Advance Diploma, something that I had always dreamt of since I graduated 6 years ago.
Wish me all the best in my studies and academic life. Not sure if my brain has rusted as well as grown fungus after all these years of un-studying... :)

Melbourne Trip 25 Sept - 3 Oct 2009
Day 1- 25.9.09
Weather: Nice but very miserably raining
Place visited: Melbourne City Area, Melbourne Aquarium, LV Store
Mood: Tiring as it was a lots of walking around and perhaps due to the fact that I have just touched down from the airport without good sleep whilst on the plane. However, basically like it just that the rain was the mood spoiler.
Day 2- 26.9.09
Weather: Chilly (the winds in Melbourne is like bone chilling)
Place visited: CW's friend's place for BBQ lunch and CW's working place cum restaurant with great Japanese food + wonderful Ikura.
Mood: Love it! Watched the 'Footie' aka Australian so called football + rugby mixed together into a sport. Not as tired.
Day 3- 27.9.09
Weather: Horribly cold and rainy
Place visited: Went to the Dandenong Ranges but it was raining so heavily. Didn't manage to get a good view of the greenaries. Had lunch at Ms Mapples with nice scones and beef pastries. Cooked dinner back at CW's place and watched some lame S'porean movie with a bad ending...
Mood: Dampened by the rain!
Day 4- 28.9.09
Weather: Nice and sunny but with breezy winds
Place visited: St Kilda's beach, Luna Park, Brighton Bridge and we walked from Brighton Bridge after dinner back to St Kilda. It was a long walk... Had blisters from the walk. (Funny how wearing comfy shoes and socks could still bring about blisters.) Nevermind, as long as CW is satisfied with this adventure, it is ok. At least she managed to satisfy her curiosity and accomplished what she wanted to do.
Mood: Glad and neutral. Love the beaches!
Day 5- 29.9.09
Weather: Perfect sunlight with light breeze
Place visited: Phillip Island. Met the Penguins, Koalas, Wombat, Kangaroos, Emus, Sheeps, Cows, Wallabies and Seagulls. The Nobbies were pretty with the coastal waves and beaches of Phillip Island.
Mood: Elated to be able to come close to those animals and even being able to touch the kangaroos! The Penguins were cute too, small and cuddly, although I can't touch but can imagine myself hugging them.
Day 6- 30.9.09
Weather: Good amount of sun and also windy
Place visited: Windsor (Chapel Street) for brunch. Met up with Ee Kian aka Alisa for lunch. The Rialto had beautiful scenic views of Melbourne from daylight to dusk to evening or should I say night light up. Totally nice! Love the windy feel of almost being blown away whilst being in the open area of The Rialto. Crown Casino had average buffet but pretty much poor service as compared to other Melbourne cafes + restaurants that I had been over the past few days. Disappointing variety of food available, considering it as a buffet style. Desserts there sucks too.
Mood: Neutral, considering the day was good but ended with me almost wanting to strangle the waitress at Crown Casino restaurant for their inefficient service and poor variety of food.
Day 7- 01.10.09
Weather: Sunny day
Place visited: Great Ocean Road
Mood: Love the ocean... I have always been a sea and ocean lover, thus, this tour of the ocean is totally beautiful and lovely. Helicopter view of the 12 apostles were amazing. I am totally blown away by the view...
Day 8- 02.10.09
Weather: Windy with Breeze
Place visited: Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Zoo and Docklands
Mood: Happy at the zoo as I got to see animals, which is another of my favourite activity. At Docklands, I saw a pair of high heels, silver shoe which was AUD 69 bucks. It was so pretty and I wanted to buy it but I knew if I bought it, there is no opportunity to wear them and even if there was an event grand enough for me to wear, I may also not wear them as they are so beautiful... Thus, I didn't buy them...
Day 9- 03.10.09
I AM BACK IN SINGAPORE!!!!!!!!!!
