Today, i went to school in an uncomfortable state cos i was suffering.. from menstrual cramps.. =( And, something unexpected happened during my practical session today! =p I was measuring the absorbance of various solutions enthusiastically when Wenqi came from behind and said,"Grace, ur labcoat..." Apparently, my labcoat was stained RED!! OOps! So, the first reaction was to rush to the washroom to clean up the mess.. Hmm, i spent more than 20 min in the washroom washing my labcoat, etc.. i'll just omit the details of the whole troublesome process.. =X But, i was just amazed with the accident cos i've no such experience before! Not even during my white-skirt years in Nanyang.. I just couldn't imagine that this happened! =p Anw, i went back to the lab to continue with the practical after all the clean-up trouble.. During the waiting time, a few of us started our girls' talk on the troublesome, uncomfortable and irritating once-a-month experience (having period) that is exclusive to us, girls.. I was just too excited with my accident! haha.. It was such an interesting and funny conversation, listening to all the staining experiences, cramps and stuff.. =p I went home after practical and skipped the subsequent 2 lectures in the end.. I was just feeling wet and uncomfortable, and suffering from cramps.. =( I just feel like lying in bed forever.. Think Panadol Menstrual is a great invention!haha.. it seems a lil weird publishing such a post on my blog.. But anyway, there's nothing to hide.. cos all women get their period.. It's a KNOWN fact! What's there to be secretive abt? Chey! =p
hmm i've not been updating my blog for vvv long.. i'm just too tired, too busy (with nothing much actually.. but i just dun seem to have time), too lazy.. =p So, for those 'kaypoh' or concerned ppl out there who keep coming back to check things out, here's a new entry! hehe.. Thanks for being a faithful reader and an avid supporter! =)Some updates abt my luck.. things are finally going fine for me now! Yeah! Thanks to all who provided encouragement, consolation, listening ears and constant reminders to be careful then.. i really appreciate having frens who care.. =) A friend told me something like this back then, "Things happen in a cycle.. When bad luck goes, good luck comes.. Everything happens for a reason.. it's just that we dun know it yet.." Quote of the day.. hehe it was helpful in some way.. so maybe we should keep this in mind and always try to be optimistic.. hmm but it's easier said than done lor.. When everything goes awry all e time, i'll just go paranoid and depressed.. =p Whatever it is, i'm glad things are looking good now.. =)Kept going to ktv these days.. 1) Went Clementi Kbox on Thurs (27/1) with 3 other Pharmacy mates during our 4-hour break.. Had actually planned to play badminton at SRC, but our practical ended early.. since we were in time for K-lunch and all 4 of us got so excited with e idea, we decided to take cab down for a singing session.. ;) So, i left simon to play badminton with the other guys.. Not too gd hor, put him aeroplane.. =p but i know Jaron will take care of him and make sure he doesn't go hungry.. hehe.. Anw, we had fun at ktv! =)2) Went AMK Kbox yesterday (29/1) with simon at night.. He's very cute.. smsed me at 7 pm, asking if i wanna go ktv at night.. Apparently, he felt bad that he nv accompanied me on a sat.. Eh, he took his IPPT that day, and then slept till evening cos he was v tired.. hmm i'm so sweet and understanding.. i won't mind that mah.. hahaha.. but, i was very surprised and happy with the idea lah.. hehe.. So nice.. =)Had planned to go shopping with Wenqi yesterday.. but in the end, i could not make it cos Grandma is in hospital.. So sorry, Wenqi! make up to u again k.. =p I think i'm deprived of shopping these days.. I have lots of things on my shopping list now... ;p and, i wanna buy more clothes to doll myself up!!!! i just dun seem to have enough clothes no matter how much i buy.. hehe.. cos i'm a GIRL! =p I wanna go shopping soon!Today, simon and i woke up at 8 am to have breakfast - dou jiang and you tiao at the market.. hehe.. finally got to have that for breakfast after talking abt it for many many weeks.. We always ended up waking up too late.. =p
Things are not going well for me now! =( So unlucky and unhappy these days.. I really can't comprehend why everything is going wrong!! AAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!Saturday - I tripped over some steps and had a fall.. Scratched my knees and got myself a blue-black bruise on my right knee.. Painful!! =(- The good: I went for ktv session at AMK Kbox with Simon.. hehe..Monday- During practical session, i touched the sharp edge of a broken glass rod at the sink. Hmm, actually it poked into my lil finger and gave me a very deep cut! Blood kept oozing out that it stained almost the entire plaster red.. Painful!! =(- For awhile, i was overcome by jealousy and ill feelings.. - I found a big blue-black bruise on my left foot when i went home at night.. Probably resulted from the heels i wore.. but nv had this problem before.. Painful!! =(- The good: I met up with Selena for dinner and a good chat!! =) Long time nv meet up with her, so pretty gd feeling to meet my gd old friend..Tuesday (Today)- Kept sneezing today.. Had runny nose.. =(- Almost tripped over something twice today.. (hmm, i really dun wan another fall to add to my collection of blue-black bruises.. will be very careful.. =p)- Results of tutorial group allocation: I'm in a different group from e ppl i hang out with.. =(I'm trying to be very careful in everything i do now.. I'm extra cautious when i cross the road, i dun dare to jaywalk, i dun run or even walk faster to catch a train or bus, etc... anything and everything i can do to prevent another accident.. =p Seriously, i feel like i'll break down soon if all this shit continue.. I'm in pain from all the injuries and i'm in a lousy mood.. =( I wish i can cry my heart out to someone and have all things go well after that! I wonder what's happening to me? When will gd times come? =X
Pretty interesting day today! and, it's Friday, which means that the weekend is finally here! =) Simon and i went to Chinatown after school today. The most significant gain from the trip was that each of us spent $20 for a shifu from China to predict our future and luck for 2005 based on a Chinese character we wrote. Something like fortune telling.. Hmm a lil more about the shifu.. He was featured in 'Lian He Zao Bao', 'Lian He Wan Bao' and on TV by Li Zhi Qing and Li Zhi Yi, from Channel U. He claimed to be at least 80% accurate though I wonder how true that is. However, his words did boost my confidence and gave me hope on certain matters. It probably didn't matter if his prediction and analysis were going to be right, as long as it provided hope and let me see light at the end of the tunnel.. Where there's hope, there's life! ;) Anyway, his prediction covered many aspects such as one's character, gd and bad points, luck, love life, work, what to expect in 2005, etc.. He painted a beautiful picture of my future and everything, and also highlighted a few vulnerable points for me to take note of.. Honestly, listening to his wonderful picture really lighted up my day! =) Who doesn't love to hear praises and honeyed words? But, the skeptical part in me tells myself that my future is ultimately controlled by myself and i should not believe predictions wholesale.. =p
Sis (Rachel): Hey! You dun wanna wake up? It's 7.15!!
I took a look at the clock on my hp, and jumped out of bed when i saw it was 7.17.. cos i was running late for school.. I thought i did not hear the 2 alarms i set on my hp and overslept! I got ready hastily in a short 10 min, skipped breakfast and rushed out of the house.. When i reached the MRT station, the alarm on my hp rang.. I was still feeling puzzled and wondered why the alarm rang at 7.45 then???? After much thinking, i realised that i was supposed to wake up at 7.45 and leave home at 8.30 for my lecture at 10 a.m.!!! BUT, i actually rushed out from home at 7.30 when i should have 15 min more of sleep! =X So blur!! If only my sis did not wake me up, then i'd probably wake up on time in response to the alarm.. hai.. Being an hour early, i decided to meet simon at Woodlands to head for sch together.. So, i went for breakfast at BK @ CW Pt, while waiting for him lor.. hehe.. He came pretty fast, just awhile after i finished my packet of hashbrowns.. ;) Kept sneezing today.. just felt very cold the whole day.. =(
My day started like this:
Me: Yes, i'm waking up but i'm very tired..
Today is the first day of school. Was so 'excited' that i took quite awhile to fall asleep last night and little effort to wake up this morning.. haha.. Started the new term with a new pencil case and a new Hello Kitty eraser, all dolled up to go to school in the morning.. hahaha.. sounds like a kid preparing for school hor? hmm, i think it's gd to go to school with a beautiful mood so that i'll enjoy it and study hard mah.. =pBUT, things went awry from the moment i reached school.. There was no practical session today!! hmm, woke up at 6.45 a.m. for it, only to find out that there's no lab session when i reached sch at 8.50!! I wonder why the lecturer couldn't inform us in advance.. i mean, say 10 hrs in advance instead of 10 min??? So i woke up early in the morning to go inhale the fresh air in NUS.. =X Anw, my next lecture was at 2 p.m... so Wenqi and i decided to go to Clementi Kbox for a singing session from 11 to 2.. Pretty fun session, but we met an unexpected 'storm!!' after that which left us a lil stunned.. (haha, only those involved in the storm know what i'm blabbering abt; the rest of u reading this just need to know it was an unpleasant encounter that contributed to the bad day..) [but wenqi, dun worry abt it.. cos it has nothing to do with u.. hehe.. made u scared.. Just treat it as my fault.. =( ] The next unlucky thing that struck me: one of the high heels of my new shoes got stuck in the gaps of those gated drains (whatever u call that..) and the material of the heel was spoilt!! Did i say that the high heels were newly bought???!!! Argh!! Today was really not too gd a day.. Seemed a lil like the replica of 11/3/04, which was the worst day in my life (Wah, for those who have no idea abt it, i dun think u can imagine what i went through then.. it was most unlucky!).. I guess tomorrow will be a better day cos it probably can't get worse.. Always believe in hope! =)
So many birthdays in my family during this period.. Today is Mummy's birthday! Simon and i bought a Christian Dior lipstick for her.. Very nice and classy... I love it! Mummy loves it too! ;) I cooked dinner again today.. all by myself.. hehe.. so that Mummy can rest on her birthday.. I love Mummy lots!! =)
It's a brand new year again!! 2005.. Time to set new year resolutions for myself.. Things i MUST achieve in 2005:1) Know what i want in my life and FOCUS on working towards my goals! I think i'm really old now (21!!!!) and should grow up to be mature, independent, goal-oriented and driven. hmm, i know how i want my future to be, but sometimes i just get too caught up with little insignificant problems and stuff and lose my enthusiasm and drive. That's where "FOCUS" comes into play, no distractions!!2) Get financially fit!!I want to have a substantial amount of SAVINGS. I want to get my driving licence, using $$ from my own pocket (in mid-year).. I want to save enough to go on an overseas trip (by end of the year).. Hmm so i've started to keep track of my income and daily expenditure in an MS Excel worksheet.. and thought of a budget action plan.. I'll try to spend a maximum of $150 on shopping and entertainment (all the non-essential stuff) each month.. The remaining $$ from my allowance and tuition income each month shall go to SAVINGS! Ermm.. i think the spending limit should work once school starts.. cos with lessons ending at 6pm on 4 out of 5 days, and giving tuition on 4 nights, i dun think i still have much time for shopping (the sinful activity which i always can't help indulging in, causing me to splurge lots of $$) Oh.. another savings plan: Any $1 coin i have goes into the piggy bank simon bought for me.. and i wish i can strike some 4D or Toto now and then too to boost my savings! =p3) Study hard and do my best academically.Yes, gd results in school dun guarantee a successful life or career.. but i think u're responsible and answerable to urself by doing ur best in everything u do.. So, i must study hard from now. Even if i dun do really great, at least i've tried my best and not let myself down..4) Get into shape and live a healthy lifestyle.Been going to the gym for some time.. With the gym membership, i'll visit the gym 2-3 times a week to stay fit and healthy.. and get into great shape hopefully (there's really some hidden flab to be lost..) haha.. I must neither give up my workout plan nor slack in the gym!5) Be happy!! =)Keeping urself happy benefits ur health, mind, body, self-esteem, relationships and all! Sometimes, i tend to brood over unhappiness.. When it's passed, i'll still ponder over it at times and feel lousy.. Probably, i'm just too sensitive (but that's why i'm called a GIRL!) And, not forgetting the monthly doses of mood swings.. =p hmm, think i must try to think happy thoughts.. and always leave the unhappiness behind in as short a time as possible.. Wow, that sounds like a real hard resolution to follow!6) Treasure my family, friends, baobao and all that i have.Hmmm.. think that's about all i have for the new year resolutions.. ;) Hope the new year will be a smooth-sailing and fruitful one! To anyone reading this, Happy New Year and may good things come ur way in 2005!! =)
