Nice dream

I had a beautiful dream last night.
Very very nice dream...
I got a chance to eat all my favourite food..
especially those I can't eat in AU or SG...
so nice..

Of course, every places have their own good food..
and I also like to food here in Singapore..
but i do really miss the food in HK..
that's very nice to have a chance to taste them even in dreams... hehe..

another thing in my dream was..
HE was holding my hand.. HE was my bf...
funny but I feel nice..
although it won't come true in reality.
But still... at least I got a chance in my dream.. hehee..

haha..
back to reality now..

Why do you study??

Why do you study??
Why are you/were you in school?
You wanna learn or you wanna pass all the exams??

I felt really sick that today when we were having the last MNO class,
everyone was prying the lecturer about the exam questions.
Exam will be on tomorrow, if you have enough preparation, why do you need those exam questions.
Besides, the lecturer has been giving us hints on exam questions throughout the courses..

actually the thing is..
is exam SO important?
are we suppose to learn rather than anything else?

I mean.. if you are just going to study for the exam questions...
what's the point of you sitting there for the whole month?

personally I enjoy learning a lot more..
I love reading, even text books, I love them..
I love the "WOW" moment that I found something I didn't know before..
I think that is more important than exam.

well... maybe I'm really a weird person, as one of my friends always said.

but sorry to say that, I really look down on those people.
their behaviour is even worse then those high school students.
and they are studying in University!
a so-call world class university...

Hug Hug Hug

If you know long enough about me, you should know that I'm a person that ALWAYS suffer from "lack of hugs"
Yes.. It started when I was a baby.. haha..

Yesterday while I was sleeping in the afternoon, I was woken up by a SMS.
You should know ho w it feels when you are woken up while you are in your deep deep sleep...
So, I was a bit lost and almost went crazy..
At that moment, I suddently want a big big hug again!
yeah, a big big long lasting hug..
I even changed my MSN tagling to "I need a HUG!!"

And.. I really got a hug last night, in my dream!!
what a surprise..
but...
Why was he hugging me??
He is the person that I'd never ever think that I'll be hugging him.. even for a second...
we are friends, and he's fun..
everytime we meet, we argue, we hit each other, we have fun..
but hug?? really can't imagine.. hahaa..
especially that was not really a friendship hug in the dream.. hahahaa...

whatever...

maybe I should give him a call one day..

Marriage

What is marriage to you?
At what circumstances will you get married?

Here are three real life stories that I heard from different people today:

Far from imagination
This is a story of my lecturer's friend.
She is a pretty girl, smart, got a job with high salary.
She met a guy online and kept contact with him for 2 years.
They were in different parts of the same country.
The guy understood her so well and their relationship went very well too.
One day, the girl decided to invite the guy to visit her.
so the guy went all the way from his home town to her places, took him 6 - 7 hours drive.
It was a weekend..
The guy knocked on the door.. the girl opened it...
She was shocked... the guy was a 300+ pound guy that people usually use the word "white trash" to describe him..
The girl's mother was even shocked.
But she still went for dinner with him and let him stayed for the weekend.
Her mother expected her to end the relationship as everyone else did..
but... she didn't.
She continued dating with him.. and he moved to the town where the girl lived.
Becoz of the relationship, the guy lost half of his weight, got a job.. everything went well..
but somehow the girl suffered.. her life went down hill..

they broke up at the end..

Online proposal
This is another girl's story.
She is a Korean girl. Once she went to Canada to study.
And she met an exchange student from Singapore.
They met only once in Canada and after that they keep contact using only emails.
One day..
the guy proposed to her through email.. and she accepted.
she flew from Canada to Singapore just a few days before their wedding..
and that was the second time this couple met each other.
They live happliy ever after.

Engagement before seperating
This is my friend's story, told by another friend.
She is a Chinese who has been studying in Singapore for quite a few years.
She met an exchange student from Canada last semester and eventually fell in love with each other.
The guy is going back to Canada soon and the girl will be heading to France for exchange this Decemeber.
And.. they are going to have their engagement before they have to be apart.


Life is so interesting.
When will you and how will you be married??
Have you ever thought about that?

Ending soon

Special semester is coming to the end this week.
Just submitted my term paper for New Media and Community this morning.
Don't really care about the grade I will get.. I'm not really interested in the assignment.
Exams are coming up soon, on Friday and Saturday.
This is probably the first time that I started my revision that early, thanks to my groupmates.

Last night when I was writing my assignment,
the same question came up to my mind again: "Why can't I start writing my paper until the night before due date?"
Yes.. this is me.
Don't really know when I started this bad habit, I never start typing one word until the night before I have to hand it my assignment.
That's crazy, isn't it?

But don't think that I never prepare for my assignment.
Usually I start right after I get the topic.
Especially when I was in ANU, they used to give us the assignment topic right at the beginning of the semester.
Most of the time, I was quite interested in the topic that I was asked to do, and ideas pumped up to my head..
Then I went to library, searched for books, articles...
and most of the time, I had my paper done "in my mind" at very early stage.

However, it always takes me ages to make myself sit in front of the computer and actually type out the paper.
I feel very painful about it.
I know the reason... it's because by the time I finish my assignment "in my mind", I've already learnt something.
And I see no point of typing it out..

Same thing happens after I come to NUS..
the difference is.. I figured it out last night, that I actually didn't feel interested in any reports that I've been asked to do.
Last semester was the worst... except for the advertising project maybe..
but all other assignments... I really feel painful doing them..

Special semester is a bit different though.
Everything is so quick that you'll never realize the pain..
for the Managing Organization class, the "assignment" was super fun, coz it was just presentation and my groupmates are brilliant.
for New Media and Community, there is only individual assignment, and the guideline was so unclear and constantly changing..
that was very annoying..

There were two parts of the assignment in the New Media module, the Interim Report and the Final Paper..
for the Interim, there was no clear guideline of what they are expecting.. so I just did whatever I think is suitable..
as usual, I didn't start writing until the night before..
and even worse, I started 6am in the morning... while the report was due 10am..
I managed to finish the 5-page report in 3hrs.. didn't even double check my work.. so I had a word "life" written as "live".. hahaa..
but.. interestingly.. I've got 6 out of 7 marks..
that's more than I expected..

Last night I started a lot earlier, at about 2am I think..
but i need to write 10pages..
(actually I feel very annoying that NUS uses "pages" instead of "number of words")
Originally I thought that I can use my Interim report as the basis.. but since the lecturer suddently gave us another guideline...
I have to do it all over..
that's really really painful..
and I don't really see the point to have that stupid Interim report...
anyway..

I've been reading lots of articles and books about the topic these days..
so writing it up was not very time-consuming..
but I didn't know that the reference list would like me an hour to finish it..
since NUS uses a different reference style as ANU.. I need to learn it and make sure that I won't mix up with the style that I've been using for a long time.

by the way.. this is really the first assignment in NUS that I was really required to reference properly..
when I was in Business School last semester.. my impression is.. no one cares about that..
I hope this is a mis-perception..

hmm.. guess I'd better sleep..
although I've slept for the whole afternoon.
but I have to get some sleep tonight so that I can study tomorrow for the whole day..

I feel a bit lost now...
Don't really know what I should do after the semester..
Will my travel plan really come true???

Thanks Jeremy

Life is much more easier these days, thanks to my new friend, Jeremy. (Don't really know if he will read this though.. )
Didn't expect that I have so many things in common with a young kid like him.
maybe.. I still haven't grown up...

Real life, real people

What a day today..
Although I've been studying for the whole day,
I still feel I'm alive, that's really fantastic!!

Having been here for six months,
except for the two days that I went for the Phantom of the Opera,
I think today is my happiest day.
At least I can taste my life.. and I can feel that at least one people in this country is still alive..
hmm.. maybe I'm magnifying it a bit.. haha..
but that's exactly how I feel now. and that's what a writer suppose to do, right?

I do hope that I will meet more "real" people in the coming semester..
and I actually think that I will coz i won't be in Business Faculty anymore.
I will be in Arts...
hopefully I will be able to enjoy my last 6 months in school..

after that.. I'll be back to work.. well..
I pretty much know what I'm looking for, and I hope that I will be able to have my ideal life sooner or later..

You Don't Bring Me Flowers - Neil Diamond

You Don't Bring Me Flowers Neil Diamond

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feelin' alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But "used to be's" don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
even learned how to lie
So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers anymore
Well you'd think I could learn
how to tell you 'goodbye'

You don't say you need me
You don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers anymore

Whatever day by No One

Copied by Anyone from No One's blog.

Today, Anyone, Someone, No One and Everyone went to Carl's Jr. for dinner.. because Everyone wanted to eat there. So Someone had to rush down all the way from Marine Parade for Anyone to fulfill her friendship day wish. =) No One has to say that it was a great dinner and that he was glad that he went along. No One also promises to buy Anyone, Someone and Everyone margaritas after the exams!!! =D

Anyway, NUS students apparently has 10% discount at Carl's Jr.! So use your privileges my fellow NUSians! Haha..

I'm getting so confused with this game...

And I do wish that presentation by next group will not ask "Anyone" to be volunteer / give suggestions / answer their question.......

coz I'm THE Anyone in the class now....... >.<
