Twitter? Internship?

Hi March, look what I found in the fridge. :3

I guess I'm still blogging here quite sanely despite the many backspacing and slow finger movement under the influence of the master above. (I seriously think only music and a dance floor can do justice to this feeling. Hmm)

Ok anyway, I'm supposed to do a blog review on the Loreal Paris Youthcode Essence. But I'm too tired right now for a review of quality.

Just some stuff up in my mind these few days, in the recent weeks.

I'm considering opening up my twitter account to public so that my friends who don't own a twitter account know that I'm still alive and kicking despite my status-silence on facebook. At the same time, I think my tweets have toned down alot in terms of Bitchology. So, they probably won't affect that greatly any friends/acquaintances out there (anymore). I truly think that I'm in almost 90% control of my abrasive, direct nature style of tweeting alr. Obviously, there'll be some girls out there who are just too good at getting on my nerves. But yea, I'm in control. Chill. Thirdly, I thought it'd do my blog good if i make my twitter account public cos i seriously think that some of my tweets are interesting. (referring to the retweets of friends and famous tweets out there). Of kox, i'll have to deal with the stupid spams and strangers' remarks on my tweets. Hmm. Still in the midst of consideration. Should I or not? Maybe give me some advice?

Another decision that I've slowly come to is that I will most probably not take up an internship this coming 3-month break. I remember one of my CCA-mates/friends telling me that when we graduate, we're gonna start work and continue working non-stop for the following 40+ years onwards, might as well cherish the 3 months of time and commitment luxuries and enjoy life now while we're still schooling. That I'd agree, cos I am quite sure i'll be able to get a decent-paying job with my degree, major and the nature of the industry I'm interested to go into. :/

This 3-month holidays, i aim to spend more time with my family. I'll bring them out for family days and dinners more often than now, as well as spend more effort in tutoring my bro for his sec 1 academics. I'm planning to purchase more recording equipment and do more recording. Basically, I want to work on this blog. Not for fame, but for "personal development" (Sounds like the self-actualization stage of Maslow's hierarchy of needs i learnt in Psych) + to entertain my friends. :D Ofkox i'm looking at getting constructive criticisms to improve on. 2012 has been an awesome year of learning and gaining for me thus far and I'm being optimistic about March and onwards. :)

Really tired. Before I end off, just a quick question. Did anyone use this correction tape when you were in primary school!? The price has inflated unfortunately, but i haven't seen it around for a daaaammmnmnnn long time. Found it at Duyi Bookshop at West Mall. :D

May everyone have an exciting and productive March. :D Work hard and play hard. :D

Most importantly, love yourself and the ones who are worth your love more this March. :):)
(For me, I'm referring to my friends and family.)

May all do well for their midterm tests, project presentation and exams! <3

Stressed

Hi.

No song cover/picture/reviews today.

I just need to rant cos I'm soooo tired. :(

The cortisol (stress hormones) level has been increasing exponentially as the weeks pass by. I won't attribute it to the amount of things on my to-do-list. I'd blame my lousy time management instead.

Shouldn't have done the covers on impulse. The techniques were all messy. :( Wasted quite a few hours just to play with my new condenser mic. It's a baby step nonetheless la. At least i got things started. #justselfconsoling

I really thank you guys for all the encouragement and constructive feedback you nice people have given me! I'll try to improve definitely. Planning to give it a short break for serious study business at the moment though.

There are seriously sooooo many things pending on my to-do-list even though I'm only taking 4 modules! Emerge is like a 5th + 6th + 7th modules lah! Faints. Glad the dance is about 99% done! Need to work on the 1% of fine-tuning and synchronizing of dance moves with my damn hot partner and dancers! Anyway, just some updates, I'll be doing a second item as a backup dancer to help my friend out. Another smoking sexy dance item as well. SO PLEASE DO COME DOWN AND SUPPORT. Refer to details here! Thanks.

I need to catch up with those readings this weekend so badly! Feeling super insecure lagging behind in readings for 2 of my modules! Time to CHIONG ARH tmr!!!

Next week is a busy week. Will be doing recording, meeting up with dancers an extra day other than Friday the official CCA day, spending another full day (4-11pm) dancing for Express, learning another dance for G's item, headache about item and photoshoot outfit and train up the voice for Express's versus and chorus + practise dancing and screaming singing IN HEELS. :/

Not to forget, readings and animal behavior project.

The only thing I'm looking forward to next week is probably Valentine's Day. <3

Time to stop ranting and go back to recording of lecture that i missed. (Thanks Shiya :))

Hearts.

P/s: The next song I'll be working on is gonna be a Bruno Mars work. Guess! :D

It's weird that I'd feel like blogging about an ordinary day like this.

2nd day of school today & these 2 days felt good. It's like the lessons & activities are so optimally arranged such that I don't have to rush anywhere & everything I did was either meaningful or productive. :D

The BEST of 2011

Late entry on some reflection of 2011.

B4 i get started on 2012, shall do abit of some recap on my 2011 new year resolution. Click here for the original entry.  :)

Was looking through at my old blog, and it's so gay. Omg. :/

Yup anyway, in short, for my 2011 new year resolutions, i focused on mainly 5 areas, namely: Studies Family Financial Love & Personal. I realised something is missing. Where did the Friends category go to? I realised i didn't even put in effort to be there for friends or even go for or organize outings when i know i have that capacity to do planning and arranging for outings. I did turn up for some outings in 2011 but would always prioritize dates with Leo over rare friends' gatherings. What kinda weird logic is that? Hmmm. Time for some reflection.

Firstly, for my studies, I'm glad that the boyfriend entered the same faculty and course as me, and I'm really thankful that he accompanied me throughout my 1st semester of AY2011/2012. Even though we were studying different modules, except for Nation Building (Singapore studies module) and Social Work (my last exposure module) , his lasting presence in almost all my mugging sessions served as a motivating support which kept me going for the 4 months of intensive mugging last semester.

I'm also immensely grateful for my Psychology mates, especially Meijun and Qianhua. We had been constantly reminding one another for professors' announcements and IVLE forum updates, as well as making phone and whatsapp discussions and meet-up group study sessions. It's with all these for my studies that I managed to pull up my CAP by 0.4 comparatively to the previous semesters where my CAP stayed put throughout my first 2 years of uni semesters. Unfortunately, it's now too late for me to pull up to an honours CAP.

I wanted to post some photos of these pretty Psych girlfriends and some studying pic of the boyfriend and I. Just remembered I was dressed too cui to want to take photos in school. Lol. Next year! Promise guys reading this that I'll post more pics of my chio friends for your eyegasm. Heehee.

Besides, I've decided to extend one more semester for the sake of Emerge and my CAP. Thanks to K's advice, I hope that this decision would allow me more time to focus on the more important modules. Hence, I'm only taking 4 modules next semester, of which are 3 psych mods (Socio-cog of emotions, Trauma psych and Cognitive psych) and an S/U-able module (Animal behavior). Do comment if you're taking any of these! :D

On the other hand, I can safely say that I've consciously put in a relatively substantial amount of effort to spend more time with my family, be it giving my family members random treats to MacDonald's breakfast, specially freeing myself on special festive occasions or putting aside extra time to tutor Jun. It feels very satisfactory, meaningful and fulfilling actually. :D So i believe in 2012, i'll continue to work harder to be a better sister, daughter and grand-daughter. :)

Financial wise. Some of my friends probably don't know that my family background is rather humble, of which the "great depression" was attributable to the 4 medical psychological cases in my direct family. I guess no more elaboration is required on the reason for my major in FASS. Hence, I do not take any allowance from my parents at all, which means that I pay for my daily meals, transportation and monthly bills by my own means of income from being a part-time tutor.

In 2011, I had been struggling financially due to the delay in bursary disbursement from the school. I survived nonetheless. This only teaches me a lesson to not be tempted by my girlfriends and bros to go overseas with them when I'm almost penniless. A monthly income of $700+ is just nice for me to settle my basic expenditure only. Recently, I've opened a savings account under OCBC and constantly depositing my tuition salary in. Hopefully, this habit doesn't die off ever. :)

My love life this year had been quite rocky after the 3rd anniversary together. Shall self-censor the content, so ask me personally if you're interested to find out. (Will only be open to people I'm close to, duh)

It's evident from the previous post, that we are back to the honeymoon times as we just celebrated our 44th at Sentosa. We realised that it's just impossible to live without each other anymore. There probably is an element of habit. It feels immensely uncomfortable to not call each other every night. Yet, it's definitely not only the habit that has glued us so tightly tgt. How would you explain the blessed feeling of falling in love again and again with the same guy every now and then? Rather than spending money extravagantly on dates and dinners, we have adopted the back-to-basics way of loving. It's effectively by far. Who says it's easy to maintain a relationship that has lasted for many years alrd?  Wait till you experienced it. Vague here because you can always refer to my old blog for mushy posts. Lol. :D

I hardly achieved any personal new year resolutions.

I hardly blogged due to the intensive mugging sessions. And yup i had put in exponential times the amount of time and effort (comparative to year 2010) for my family and friends. :D I gave up on swimming cos of the lousy bod now. :( Didn't contribute to my savings much too. Generally, i took better care of my health from exercising and watching my diet throughout the year and even managed to lose up to 5kg once in 1month....until last semester's final year revision. Gained back every kilo of fats from the daily starbucks dosage/addiction and high-carbo meals + complete lack of exercise. #22 and #23 is entirely impossible. LOL.
