first week of school has been really hectic, the new teacher for "tcm formulary" is simply just boring. she doesnt have any powerpoint slides and she writes everything she says on the board, so we are supposed to copy everything and listen to her at the same time. trust me, it's really not easy, especially with her messy handwriting (worsening by the day). imagine 5hrs of such lessons everyday, it just drains u out. To make things worst, our "immunology" lecturer is from italy and her accent is so strong tt I have to strain my ear to catch wat she is saying. The way I see it is that we are training our senses (vision, hearing etc) everyday. lolz.. One week of school seems like one month has passed. Who says that the first week of school is supposed to be relaxing...
To reward myself, my family went to malaysia for dinner on friday. It is certainly a rare sight to see 5 different nationality (referring to place of birth) in one car. Singapore (uncle); people's republic of China (mum, last time taiwan was referred to as tt); taiwan (sister); saudi arabia (me!); indonesia (sis bf). It was a sumptious dinner!! stingray, lala, crayfish, kangkong, wild boar meat, toufu all for juz less than S$10 per pax! To quote from my mum, "ren2 sheng1 zhe yang4 jiu zhu2 gou4 le". It was a tiring week for her too, first week of pre-nursery has never been easy for the teachers. children crying everyday from start till end of lessons (until the whole face turned red). I really see my mum as a role model for me, she's just such a superwoman, raising 3 kids singlehandedly and still able to provide the level of comfort tt we are enjoying now. tts y i respect her so much.
for now, i think health is really the most impt thing in life. so i really hope dear dear will get well really really soon!! =) sorry for nt being able to take care of u when u are sick and not being able to spend more time with u since school started. i will find a way to manage my time better and hopefully we can spend more time together! so dun let ur thoughts run wild for our hearts are always connected no matter how seldom we see each other. =)
oh, i forgot to mention something. dear dear rented a mazda 3 for the weekend coz his car is still in repair. it is my fav car and he is giving me a chance to drive it to school tml!! so exciting but abit scary coz i've always been driving a smaller car.. hahaz.
ok, back to work. got so many assignments due by end of jan tt i cant wait for feb to come.. CNY!!

Today is ying's bday!! Happy 21st bdae ying!! =)
katty, shir, sera and I were supposed to appear at the chalet as a surprise for ying. so i drove and picked them up and they cant stop telling me to drive slower! Grr.. have more confidence in me man! at least i am non p-plate already.. lolz. we managed to give ying a surprise, and as she put it, she felt like ta1 bei4 mo1 le... hahaz. really glad to have my girlfriends around and we have known each other for 8 long years already!! can u believe it, so many memories shared together and i really hope we can meet up often till the day tt we are old. haha. love ya all! ~hugz~
we saw nizar and ali at the chalet too! so coincidental, they were at the chalet juz next to ying's. spent some time catching up with them and we were thinking of a 2/5 class gathering! dunnoe whether it will be done but it was a nice idea. hahaz.
i went to meet dear at sengkang after the chalet and guess wat... i had my first parking offence ticket tt day! how lucky.. i put the date as 3rd jan on my parking coupon and after i teared it, i realised it was 4th jan already as it was past midnight. i tot it was alright since usually nobody will come at such late hrs, so i left it and din tear a new one. the person really came and i was fined $20. hahaz. the funny thing was he came within the time frame of my coupon, juz tt the date was wrong! wat a day...

slept till quite late on new year's day and spent the rest of the afternoon playing mj with my family. it was quite funny and we had a great time laughing! playing mj with them is like a totally different feeling than playing with other ppl. it is more like a relaxing and chit-chatting session. love them all! =)
had my uni sports comm steamboat gathering in the evening. it turned out to be a seniors gathering. hmm.. all the places were either too expensive or fully booked, but we were so lucky to find one indoor steamboat that has a comfortable environment and is worth the price. it's at shaw plaza, can give it a try! had our full eating there and we went to chill out at TCC after tt. had fun being detectives as we saw our freshie together with another gal. hahaz..

went to mt faber to catch the fireworks with dear on new year's eve.. we were there around 11pm and spent the rest of the time before midnight talking to each other and playing some games.. we had a nice time telling each other how we felt abt the rs for the period of time tt we have been together. not sure whether it will help to strengthen our rs, but we shall juz take one step at a time and see how it goes. not being too stressed out and we shall put out focus on our studies for the coming sem. We managed to see abit of the fireworks from the vivo/sentosa side and had a clear view of the fireworks from mt faber itself. it was juz right infront of us. we celebrated our 2nd month as well as the new year on this special day! =)
