[*cries*]
sighz... am feeling rather traumatized. chin threatened to throw me out of class today! and said that he wanted to cry and change the question when i gave my answer, because it wasn't generating the kind of response he had been hoping for. though he did say it jokingly, and although he did eventually concede that i made a valid point when he finally understood what i was saying, it's just such a @.@ feeling... i felt so down and depressed k?! boohoohoo.
sometimes, i think that i should just shut up in class. what's the point of testing my views, anyway? bleah...
life sux. :(

[miss my fur!]
lawr was... erm. ya. >_<" after my group's presentation, sumy said that there were TONS of questions that she wanted to bomb us with, and complained that she just had to control - like, REALLY control - herself. omg. that is so not a good sign. :'(
anyway, after lawr, i went with raf to city hall/bugis to collect darling's present and to shop for a new bag (for her)! haha shopping is fun~ :) the only bad thing was that i was so broke that i could not shop for clothes even though i really wanted to! i REALLY want new dresses, tops, blah blah, but i'm SO out of cash... $_$
anyway, i love darling's prezzie so much! was admiring it yesterday night... it looks so pretty and i really want to keep it for myself! so tempting k! but i know that darling would definitely love and appreciate it more... bleah :P
sigh... miss my sweetheart so much!!! hope that he's safe and sound and having fun in field camp... ^-^

[lawr sux :(]
i miss sweetheart so much - he's currently on his field camp trip (camping out in the wilderness of tekong for 6 days)! and, as you can guess, he is not allowed to bring his handphone along. he hasn't contacted me for two days already... sigh! it just feels so different without him this weekend... :'(
imissmyfursomuchsomuchsomuch!!! T_T
anyway, i'm such a loser. spent all of my time on lawr today - from 8am to about 6pm. was researching on (you'll never believe it) vicarious liability, of all topics. such a waste of time, really. it's such a small, unimportant part of the binder. and i'm really afraid that i'll screw up, despite the amount of time that i've put in.
bleah i'd really rather be revising instead. exams are in less than a month's time!!! *panics*
i'm so lost and behind time... hope that i can catch up with work before the exams start!!!

[boo!]
i'm utterly broke!!! as in, really really broke. splurged on a prezzie for darling today... it's his (very advanced) 6th anniversary gift! it's supposed to be a surprise, so no pics - not until darling receives it, at least. :P
went for driving lessons too, and once again, it was a disaster! just started module 3 today and i was (very pathetically) mounting curbs in the s-turns... couldn't control my speed at all... :'(
then, in the evening, i went with my mum, eunice jie and leonard to watch a russian symphony orchestra at the esplanade! it was two-hours long and i found it to be a very pleasant experience. :) classical music is so soothing! and watching a live orchestra is very different from listening to recordings... because, at a concert, you get to see the musicians emo-ing and their passion makes the music all the more beautiful... :D
i stole some (illegal) shots of the concert hall too! haha...
the concert hall~
mum, leo and eunice jie! ^0^
:P
anyway, digressing. i really wonder why some people are so competitive. it's really scary - i've never seen anything like it before. is this how the world is really like? i guess i'm just glad that my good friends are really nice, pleasant people... proppers: i really love you all! :D

[CDs CDs CDs!]
i FINALLY got back my torts test paper today! did much better than i expected, though i got one of the lowest grades in the class... i guess it was because i had very bad time management + super slow writing speed... my answer was only 2.5 pages long while my friends averaged 6 pages! and there were three questions, each of which were supposedly of equal weightage, but for one of them, my answer was only ONE PARAGRAPH LONG! @.@"
bleah it sux, because i really REALLY studied and i really knew my stuff. RAWR.
anyway, digressing. mum rocks. :) went shopping with her today, and retail therapy really works wonders! came back, elated, with a whole bunch of CDs. 8 of them, to be exact. ^^
my CDs!!! ^^
happiness :D
does anyone want to trade / lend / borrow the CDs that i have? :P i'm especially looking for jolin/sun yan zi/fan wei qi's latest albums... please let me know if you're interested! ^-^

[sigh!]
lawr was really crappy today. didn't prepare for the presentation, and sumy clearly knew that i did not know my stuff. shot me several times. i died on the spot. was utterly stressed and depressed after class. argh!!!
alright. i shall try to work harder. it was a very painful lesson, and i don't want repeats.
:(
sigh. you know, sometimes i really feel retarded. like i'm in a totally different world, on a strange plane. and it's scary... really scary. why do i think so differently from everyone else? it's satisfying when i turn out to be right (however rarely this may be), but most of the time, it's such a precarious feeling...
i feel retarded-different retarded.
haha, just ignore my angst-ing. i will probably get back my happy-go-lucky heck-care confident attitude soon. just feel rather down and dumb and unsure at this point in time...
law school is so stressful. and work is piling up. :(
and guess what... i know that i only have myself to blame.
anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONARD!!! :D

[I AM SO SLACKKK!]
slacked through the weekend once again - got nothing completed at all! went shopping at ps/funan yesterday, and slacked together with sweetheart today... sigh!!!
i am a useless ball of slack!!! RAWR!!!!!!!!
anyway, digressing. while sending sweetheart off to army, i made a new friend! met a 15 year old girl named agnes who was one of the other guy's (sweetheart's platoon mate's) girlfriend... we hit it off really well and just started talking together non-stop! she was very nice and friendly... :D
:)
and i took a photo of sweetheart and some of his friends too!
army men! hehe :D
btw... i don't know why the guys there are so DENSE... if a girl is sitting there watching the army guys, she must be SENDING HER BOYFRIEND OFF RIGHT? and attached girls should be left alone right? sigh... or were they specifically waiting until after sweetheart's platoon got onto the bus? z_z @ssholes!
hmm... shall go rush lawr now. sigh. sweetheart will be having field camp next week and can only book out two weeks later.
T_T
oh... and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LING YEE!!! <3

[ling yee's birthday surprise!]
i'm really exhausted! omg it was such an eventful day! BRIEF SUMMARY: met from 8-10am for lawr... then met from 10-11am for torts discussion, followed by torts tutorial from 11am-1pm... (and the whole week was so rush that i actually went for the tutorial without attempting the questions, because i had no time at all... am SO GLAD I SURVIVED! ._.) following which, i had lunch, then slacked by myself (being bored, miserable and lonely) until about 4+pm... then went orchard alone to research on CDs and buy ling yee's cake! rushed to meet the proppers to *surprise* ling yee at her place after that... we then spent some time at her house chatting together, before heading home. and, on the way back, while i was in the cab with mei yu, our cab driver got into a fight with a passer-by! omg!
now for the more... detailed bits. :)
our birthday surprise for ling yee took quite a lot of planning! we tried various means to get her address without her suspecting anything - we tried hinting, asking for her postal code, and, lastly, using the "name list" approach. though she was a little suspicious at the end of it all, haha. and we asked her for directions too! urm. that evil girl gave us the wrong directions, so in the end, we got utterly lost. we spent 15 minutes CLIMBING UP THE WRONG HILL before we concluded that we were in the wrong place. and i was climbing the hill in my HEELS. which was super OUCH. anyway, we actually passed goh chok tong's house (there were guards outside!) and the hwa chong hostel during our climb, where we noticed some very "suspicious" behaviour (overlapping shadows... etc). lol! anyway, when we finally realized we were in the wrong place, we simply gave up and took a cab!
and we had to ensure that she was home too! we did this by contacting her lawr group member (jorina) to get her to organize some online meeting... haha!
anyway, when we finally got to her house, guess what?! her entire street seemed to be overrun with dogs, and they started barking and barking non-stop! ling yee herself owned three dogs... THREE DOGS @#*@$@&($. so you can imagine the noise from her house alone! we (mei yu, han yin and i) were trying to hide from the dogs until the rest came (because we had to take two separate cabs)... but we sort of failed... it was so noisy and the neighbours kept looking out of their windows and we felt like criminals! :(
but we eventually set everything up and, when everything was prepared, we told sane weiqi to tell ling yee to literally look out of her window on msn... and she did! lol! anyway, i think that she was quite shocked because she utterly did not expect that we would have planned it TODAY! hehe :P
pictures ahead!
the cake~!
the cake + candles!
UNGLAM PREP SHOT! hahaha :D
surprise, surprise!
making a wish! :D
in lingy's house...
group photo: all of us!
helping with the cake... haha!
cutting the cake!!!
and it was a success!!! :P hehe, we love you so much lingy... we put in so much effort k?! especially han yin - she actually CLIMBED UP THE HILL to find your house (and you know how she hates walking)! and i sacrificed a CD-shopping spree with my mum just to surprise you! <3
yeah we proppers rule!!! <3 <3 <3
anyway, i digress. erm, about the cab driver incident, it was... ..........! there was this mega jam and the cab driver got rather pissed and started horning like mad (because we had waited SO LONG - 10 mins? - without moving AT ALL and we only needed to travel two car lengths down to turn into the lane that we wanted to enter). he horned for quite a long time and it was really loud... and this passer-by got rather pissed. so he kicked our cab, and challenged our taxi driver to a fight. our taxi driver actually got out of the cab and they then attempted to assault each other, but were stopped by a passing couple...
at first we were quite "diao" at the passer-by... but we later realized that he had a good reason to be pissed off - the jam had been caused by a funeral procession, and it's rather disrespectful to horn so loudly in such a situation! >_<"
blahhhhhhhhh!
anyway, everything else aside. the final conclusion of this long day is that... PROPPERS LOVE LING YEE!!!!!
:D

[lawr SUX!!!]
lawr's such a pain. i feel like a chao mugger. have to keep researching and researching and researching for a pathetic project worth only 25%.
it's ruining my social life k! was supposed to go k-boxing with the proppers yesterday, for example, but had to stay back for lawr research instead... SIGH!!! :'(
blah blah blah it's really preparing me for my no-life life in the future. T_T
anyway, digressing! on a happier note, dad struck 4d today! yay!!!

went k-boxing with darling and some of his army friends (yun hui, wilson, samuel, kevin)! they were all quite pro! especially samuel - his voice was so clear and strong. and his singing was simply fantastic. for once, fur finally has some competition... hahaha!
click here to hear samuel's singing :P
must listen until the chorus... it's a bit muffled at the start but it gets really good later. ^^
omg, i feel so zi bei! i am such a lousy singer in comparison to all of them!!! RAWR.
:'(
anyway, pictures of the guys!
samuel and yun hui~
wilson!
samuel, darling and yun hui!
:)
btw fur refused to let me put his singing online because he said he was super off-form today... and i kinda agree... haha! so please be patient... when i get a good recording, i'll post it up. :D

[cm2 agonies!]
spoke to sumy about my closed memo 2 today! she told me that i was immediately marked down 0.5-1 grade because of my wrong stand... ouch! i know, i know, i should have known... sigh!!!
she did, however, say that she wonders why she didn't give me half a grade higher to begin with... so i'm thinking of requesting for a grade revision. but i don't have the courage nor the face to ask for something like that. but it's 25% of my final grade. how?!!!! :'(
somehow, i also feel that it isn't very fair for me to be downgraded just because i think far too much. if i was illogical or truly wrong, FINE, but i don't think that i had been exceptionally so... not in the context of what they had taught, anyway. but maybe the true end result of whether the answer is right or wrong is simply more important than my thinking process... at least, where grading is concerned. i guess that's understandable, though painful for me! urgh.
sigh. i declare it once again: NO MORE CONTROVERSIAL STANDS FOR ME!!!
hope that i can stick to my resolution and not be tempted by the countless opportunities that are sure to arise in the near future. this entry shall serve as a reminder!!!
but at least i learnt something new from the discussion + lawr class today! clarified some doubts too... especially about the "gaps" issue... hehe! :P

[wen ling's surprise!]
we gave wen ling a birthday surprise today! the sls c people were in charge of reserving a meeting room immediately after contracts, while the sls a people (me included) were responsible for buying a cake immediately after the class! so, during our break, han ying, lingy, sin yan and i took a cab down to taka in search of the blueberry cheesecake that wen ling had requested! at the same time, we bought balloons to decorate the meeting room as well... hehe!
anyway, we took so long that sls b had already ended while we were still in the cab, and poor pang and wei qi(s) had to keep wen ling occupied while we got everything ready! they dragged her all over the school looking for "lost stuff", even pretending that they were helping me to find my lost mp3. and they were cursing me all the way, saying that i was so troublesome and forgetful yada yada yada. I WAS SO INNOCENT K?!!!! :'(
but it was quite worth it, because in the end, wen ling was genuinely surprised! haha! she's such a sotong la! we all thought that she would have suspected something after all that walking, but we gave her too much credit already... what a blurrrrr girl :P
anyway, picturessss! ^^
wen's surprised face!
blowing out the candles~
our balloons!
cute decorations by shu li and kang :P
picture ^^
wen and shu li acting cool! bleah :X
fanning and massaging wen! ooo pang is such a PRO fanner, hahaha!

yeahhh let's disfigure her :P

erm... utter randomness!!! LOL~!

i had already expected it, but still, it really hurts to know that i had applied everything wrongly! my pages were LINED with rebuttals (like EVERY argument i made was rebutted) and it was seriously OUCH. urgh. :'(
i know, i know, i deserved to screw it up! missed the chance of possibly getting an a because of my smart-alecness! i will NEVER take the controversial stand again! RAWRRR!!!
on the bright side, i didn't do too badly. :)

[von's 21st & ai ling's ROM! ^^]
omg! a lousy driving lesson in the morning (stalled my engine 3x sighhh), followed by two 21st birthday parties on the same day (von and yinz), together with ai ling's 24th birthday celebration + ROM dinner... haha... ended up only going for von's and ai ling's celebration because yin's party clashed with the ROM dinner! :'(
sorry yinz!!! :(:(:(:(:(
anyway, after driving in the morning, i went with darling for von's birthday celebration, before heading off for his sister's ROM dinner! von's pool party was held at her aunty's condo... and most of our poly clique couldn't make it, so it was just fur, king, kelly, eric, ms neo and i... >_<"
photos ahead!
with darling :D
the 5 of us (excluding fur)~
group photo! ^^
von's cake~
after chatting and catching up with my friends for a short while, darling and i had to rush for his sister's ROM dinner! hehe, had to change out of my dress into a more formal wear...
black dress :)
i think i look quite crappy in that photo, wonder why darling likes it?
anyway, as a present, fur and i got ai ling some flowers and some soap from marks and spencer. :)
pretty flowers!
we then went for the dinner... it was at yan's palace, the place with the juicy prawns! :D
photos of the event!
wearing the ring~

[shu li's birthday cele :)]
after tons and tons and TONS of planning... we ended up getting nothing for shu li for her birthday (at least, we didn't get a present by today, which was the day of the celebration)! LOL! we had originally planned to buy her this huge poster but the store was closed today because the owner was overseas watching some concert. -_-" so we thought of getting her a pictorial book instead... but they were all outdated and outrageously ex. so we ran around looking for a gift (especially insane weiqi haha) but couldn't find anything suitable. so sad k! eventually, we decided to get her the poster another day when the store is opened again. >_<"
SHU LI DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR INEFFICIENCY... WE LOVE YOU!!! <3
anyway, i am BROKE! bought a new dress and several gifts, so my $_$ is flying flying flying away. SIGHHHHHH!!! and going shopping with pangpang never helps! she's filthy rich so she just tells me to get everything i like. urgh. :P
anyway, we treated shu li to dinner at bakerz inn (vivo) n ice cream at ben & jerry's... photos ahead!
all of us! ^_^
pang pang, wei qi (sane), han yin!

torts test was crappy... felt really bad after the whole thing! :( didn't have proper time management... couldn't complete my paper properly... submitted my points in incomplete sentences, points and broken english... it was so bad that i'll be really lucky if i even scrape a C! wish i didn't prepare so much for it! what a waste of my time! RAWR!!! >_<"
anyway, went out with the proppers for lunch after the paper! we went for lunch at taka, then spent the rest of the time walking around "shopping" (though we didn't get much shopping done, haha). the highlight of the day was the camwhoring - omg, we actually took neoprints can?! nostalgia - haven't taken neoprints in YEARS! yeah it was fun. :)
some shots ahead:
