School's out, only thing left is exams!

Last week of classes for semester 2,2010 has finally ended! I've also completed my 4000-long research paper so that's it for LTCS3007. YAY! v^^v
Now I just have to focus on my take-home exams which consist of 4 essays, 5000 words altogether and I have to hand those up in the 2nd week of November which is not very long from now. So far, I've been resting (bombarding myself with videos) and just slacking away. It's crazy how facebook looks so damn boring when you want to slack, but when you've tons of things to do, facebook becomes an attractive, fun place to be at.

Speaking of facebook, Gabby and I went to watch The Social Network yesterday. It is pretty cool to know how that miracle of a website was created and what the founders went through. Although there were a few boring parts, especially when Mark Zuckerberg was blabbering away about IT stuff. By the word, 'stuff', you'd know I couldn't really catch what he was saying at some points and when I don't, my mind just shuts down. But generally, the film is pretty interesting, though I wouldn't say that it's worth going to the cinemas for. Hehe, I personally think that movies worth going to the theatres for are mostly action-packed or gory films. Because those films look so much better with the big screen and surround sound.

I also wanted to share something which was shared by my friend on facebook. If you've seen my postings in fb, you might have read it but if you haven't take a look! It's a script for a talk held in NTU and what the speaker say, I'm 100% with him. It's very very true, just read: Don't work. Avoid telling the truth. Be Hated. Love Someone

Here's a cool photo I stumbled across through Time.

Ultimate Abstinence… or not?

Wow, I can’t believe this semester is going to be over before I could even watch a complete series of Korean drama. I have completely abstain myself from watching K-dramas this semester because I wanted to curb my addiction. This semester has heavier workload than ever so I wanted myself to concentrate on work and not get too hooked onto dramas. I am seriously in such a tortured state preventing myself from K-dramas, especially when Micky Yoochun’s drama is currently airing! I actually couldn’t control myself and watched 3 episodes of his drama, but when I found that my flow of concentration was dissipating I had to stop myself! :(

K-dramas are evil to me. That’s why I took a different route of entertainment (I’ve got to have some sort of leisure time right?) this sem and settled on just K-variety shows and english shows. Some of you would know, I’ve been watching Friends, The Simpsons and Gossip Girl.

Friends is OLD but still an awesome awesome comedy sitcom! I actually got 7 seasons of Friends from A before he went back to Korea. BUT he doesn’t have season 4 and 5, so now I’m stuck at season 3 refusing to continue on to season 6. I absolutely cannot skip TWO seasons of Friends and continue the rest! A said he had already downloaded season 4 and 5 in Korea and will transfer me the seasons when we meet. Woopee~!

It’s too bad I can’t continue now… Friends is soooooooo funny, I laughed like mad at almost every episode. There was once I watched with A, and I laughed so hard he was like, wow today I can see your happiness. (LOL)

I’m still enjoying and taking my time with Simpsons because there are freaking 21 seasons and there are about 24-25 episodes in each season AND the show is still broadcasting in US!! I’ve been watching it every time I have meals at home. Meal time is like my eating + resting + leisure time.

But now Simpsons is being put on hold when I started watching Gossip Girl. Well, I guess it IS really good. When people were so into GG, I was like, is it that nice to watch girls bitching around? I realised that it isn’t ordinary bitching and there’re twists and plots to the stories so I guess it’s pretty good. I’m at season 3 now. Season 4 is the latest which I heard was just released. If you didn’t hear this before, fashion in GG is awesome! I am starting to get hooked onto headbands thanks to Blair Waldorf. Haha :P

Anyway, I can’t wait for ultimate leisure time to come so that I can kick back and catch up on all the K dramas I’ve been missing out so far!!

5 more weeks to SG!!!! FREAK OUT! LOL.

Looking forward to summer vacation!

In the midst of this hellish period, I can’t help but think of ALLLLLL the things I’m going to do during the coming summer holidays!

One thing is that I’m looking very very forward to going back home to SG after 9 months!! That is such an understatement but what can I do? Blogging can only produce this much excitement. Dear family and friends, I miss you all so much!!! My cousins, especially, love to tag me in photos taken during family dinners. I love having family dinners and  because they kept tagging me, it made me miss home so much!

Also, my dear niece who has grown from a baby to a toddler now. As you can see in FB, many of my tagged photos are of a cute little toddler. Awww… no more Baby Sheryl. It’s Toddler Sheryl now. ^^

Can’t wait to see you all  when I go home next month!

The most important thing that is going to happen in December is this:

As stated, I will be spending one third of my vacation in Korea. I actually booked the flight about 2 weeks ago… but I haven’t really got the time to blog about it until now (when I’m procrastinating).

First and foremost, I get to spend lots of time with A in Korea (Christmas and New Year especially)! Second, I get to travel around Korea with him within the month (hopefully)! Third, I am going to meet his family and friends (OMG). Fourth, hang out with LE in Korea! LOL. Fifth, if I have the chance to do so, attend Kpop concerts! Sixth, HELLO IT’S KOREA! Nuff said!

As the days go by, the time for both of us to meet is getting closer and closer. It has already passed more than half of the total time that we’re separated for. Just a little more and we’ll reunite once again! <3

After Korea, A will be coming back to SG with me!!! It’ll be his turn to explore SG and meet my family and friends. Hehe. But the sad thing is, he is only staying for 2 weeks as he has to go back home for Lunar New Year. :( Can’t spend CNY with him…

Anyway, I’m going to be honest here, I can’t wait to show him to my family! LOL. I actually hope he and I can spend more time with my family (even extended family members). Hehe. Then you guys can see why I love him so much. :P

Just typing this entry made me soooo excited!

Thai Culture and Food Festival!

Everyone’s favourite bubble tea shop: Hazeltea!!

Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t have photos of J, my newly made friend, who I went to the Thai fest with. Although we didn’t enjoy much of the Thai fest due to the terrible weather, we were still able to chat and chill out at Hazeltea!

Random photos I took while going home:

P.S. Go to Jesslyn's blog for more photos and updates! :D

:(

An unfortunate incident has befallen upon me… It is due to my carelessness and stupidity. My loss may not be recovered, but I’ve learnt something through this harsh lesson. I was so mentally tired because of this incident… I felt guilty and regretful. For the past two days, I felt like everything was going against me. I am so unlucky…

However, I’ve learned to move on. Like what A said to me, we will encounter bad and good things in life. The thing is to learn from my mistake… I’ve learnt my lesson and will not do it again… Although the feelings of regret, anger, disappointment and sadness still lingers  in me, I’m okay now…
