30th April 2012 - Working as a maid

  • May. 1st, 2012 at 1:33 AM

So today was spent cleaning up J's room. It is unbelivably DIRTY! My god, the dust was like 1 inch thick. But, as he pointed out, he wasn't home much for the past 4 years as he was staying in hall, then was away for 1 year in the UK. Guess its forgiven then! It took us about 6 hours to clean up half of his room, and we threw away like almost 10 kg worth of trash o.O Should have taken a couple of photos but my hands were toooo filthy. I suspect he is a hoarder o.o

Anyway, glad to report that I have passed the medical check-up! :D Now awaiting my exam results before commencing on work for the next 30 years... I'm looking forward to work, not because of the work itself, but rather what it can do for my family :) I hope to let my dad retire ASAP, and let my parents live a comfortable life!

Can't wait for Aussie! I'm broke from spending all my money on travelling, but that's okay :D

2nd April 2012 - I'm scared!

  • Apr. 2nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM

Got a call from the doctor today. They found abnormal counts of white blood cells in my urine. Moment I heard that, my heart dropped. First thought was, how is this going to impact my employment? Second thought was, oh dear! I hope I am really healthy. This news was so bad, cuz it hit me in 2 places where I am the most concerned about - my health and career :(

Was obsessing over it the whole day. Thank god J was there to comfort me, and to accompany me to the doctor's. We first went to the University's doctor, who told me that the WBC count in my urine was considered normal. I'm going to seek a second opinion at my family doctor tomorrow morning, so I sure hope that all goes well :(

Will be back here for some updates (and hopefully good news)!

26th March 2012 - Feeling a bit emotional

  • Mar. 27th, 2012 at 12:05 AM

So yet another day of lab... Probably my last time conducting experiments in a long time. Today's Q&A about the experiment was another failure. I hope I am able to score at least a B. Really low expectations this time round.

I get irritated at people who do things slowly and are indecisive. So much so that I have asked this person "can you please decide?" and not in a very nice way. I have also asked her to "hurry up". I don't feel guilty doing these things, probably because this person is really slow and very very indecisive. What amazes me is that she bear no grudges, and is able to smile and talk to me like nothing ever happened. I probably should learn from her not to be so petty, for I would never be able to act like her.

I came home, expecting to be real productive tonight. And yet, nothing has been accomplished as the clock ticks past midnight. I wonder why I feel so tired, when I have done nothing, when I have woken up at 1030am this morning. Why am I so tired when I have just spent the past 2 hours surfing gmarket? I guess I should just be glad I didn't buy anything (yet).

Tomorrow's going to be a longer day. I hope my spirit and mind would be tough and strong enough to endure the challenges that lie ahead.

Pangseh-ed my JC mates for dinner yesterday :x Feel kind of bad, and I promise I won't do it again next time :(

Went to J's place to settle the final tours for Australia. So excited! But I have a feeling we would be bursting our budget cuz of food and transportation :( Think we spent wayyy too much on accomodation! But I just have to keep telling myself, money can be earned back! :D

We left his place for dinner at a nearby food court, and when we came back, the whole place was engulfed in smoke. Super duper scary. Turns out he left something on the stove (kind of my fault cuz I said I wanted to try the meat and he was heating it up) and the whole pot was burnt :O He burnt his finger as a result and we had to rush to get burn meds from the pharmacy :( What a terrible way to end the night, hope he is feeling better!

Came back home, and found a fire engine and 3 police cars parked under the block :O

Just a couple of days back, saw a police tent at the foot of the opposite block. What's happening to my neighbourhood? Lol. Didn't manage to find out what happened in the end though! :x

Aye! It's been such a long time since I posted! Short recap of the 3 months where I went missing:

December/January: FYP FYP FYP! Totally didn't have time for myself, but enjoyed my christmas with J as per usual! Christmas is the only occasion where we have celebrated consecutively for 3 straight years :D After report was handed up in mid-Jan, enjoyed my slacking + CNY holidays for the rest of the month :)

Feb: Short month, doing the usual coursework + design project :(

March: Finally handed in individual report for design project! Almost done with my uni education. Only 2 more projects to go! :)

Even though today didn't start off on a great note, I thoroughly enjoyed myself after 12 noon lol. I really need to be more understanding :(

Watched 'Hunger Games' and it was sooo worth the ticket price!!! One of the few great movies I've watched this year so far! 5/5! :D I think its sort of a blessing that I didn't read the book before I watched the show, it kept me in suspense throughout. lol. Kept telling J to save the girl even though it was pretty obvious that she wouldn't die cuz she is the lead afterall.

More great days and entries ahead, I hope! :D

I wish I were 16 again... Cuz things were so fun then! And I don't have to look for a job. Times are not good for looking for a good job, I am scared that I wouldn't be able to find one... If I could turn back time, I would totally have gone for a different course. It's too late now, so let me work hard and not give up :)

Today has been a fulfilling day, a day where I felt that I am not a useless person in this world! So for such a rare occasion, let me put down the things that make me feel happy, fulfilled and satisfied:

1. Being able to answer questions in tutorials that others weren't able to! (put in more effort, girl!)

2. Prof. telling me that I've had "good progress" so far on my FYP, and also saying that he will give me"full credit" for setting up the experiment. (it's really straightforward, but deciding on the appratus was a little troublesome).

WOO :)

Torn between wanting to vote for a stable Singapore vs telling the party to wake up their idea and stop being so petty ;(
