Last Week of Classes
Gosh, so tired. Just finished AS assignment and Finance presentation today. Only one more hurdle to go: Presentation of marketing plan to Jason Electronics + Case study. Constitutes 70% in total of my entrepreneurship module - All due tml! Sigh, I need sleep!

sObs. Oh dear, just failed tests for the first time - and 2 tests in a row! Finance and Econs. Got 38/100 for Econs Midterm Exam, and would have really failed if the prof didn't moderate. Got a B- in the end. Sigh, sOtz, concentrate! Only a week more to exams!

IBM. Guess the active hard disk function doesn't really work eh? Corn dropped his laptop at project last week, and it never recovered from the impact. I can feel the pinch too, coz I just got my tablet casing changed for almost $400. He must be pretty stressed now, coz its projects deadlines week. Well, hope a miracle happens ya.

Thank God! Got blessed with a new hp! At first, my uncle bought me the hp, and refused to accept my money. So I went to buy him the Nokia 6260 which he liked so much. Got the SD 256 memory card for him too! But to my surprise, I came to realize that my grandpa later on paid my uncle for my hp, coz he won some lottery. Laughs. Really so thankful! Gonna take good care of my hp! Promise!

Deli's closing today! Sigh, my fave pie shop in school is moving to a shop space opposite the national library! The bookshop's having a closing down sale of $1 books too, as the school is shifting to the new campus at dhoby ghaut come August! Sigh, gonna miss this compounds so much!

Back to class!

Love. Such an easy word to spell, but just so tough to live it out. Sigh. Many times, I feel the people we take most for granted, are actually the people we love the most. It's often only when we've lost them, that we realize their true value. Reading back Gershon's email on his mum, reminds me to treasure my family and the friends that I love. Strange to say, I've never told my parents verbally that I love them before, ever. Recalled on one occasion, I even told my mum that I didn't love her, and that I'd never loved her before. That night, she cried, and fell into a period of depression. It's odd how a sentence can make or break a relationship yeah. But seriously, at that point when I said that, I actually believed what I'd said. For I had always been taught, that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks". But guess I was wrong. Sigh. Each time I saw her after that, I knew I cared for her. But I had to overlook her weaknesses, to accept her for who she was on the inside. Guess that's what they term unconditional love yeah. Loving even when it's not reciprocal, loving at the expense of self. I guess loving is always a continual process, never a destination ya. Loving even when it's hard, loving even if it hurts. It's never easy yeah. Guess that's why it forms a vital part to a person's character growth. Hmm. So well, guess I should translate my thoughts into actions yeah? I've just made a resolution to do that which I find so hard: To tell my mum (audibly) that I love her! : ) Time constraint? Well, I only have exactly a month from tomorrow. Hmm, running short of time. But I want you to hold me to my word ok? Only hope this isn't too late.

So go on sOtz, do it!

Kevin - My Last Love Song

Daddy took my hand
He led me down
To a place I thought I knew
He said "Look at Him"
"Look at Him"
An empty cross before me

There're people crying
Daddy prayed
I wish I knew a thing
I only held my hands
Closed my eyes
If you were just beside me

I saw you laid ahead
Calm and still
I thought I heard you weep
But there were no more tears
They disappeared
On your very rosey cheek

There was a lovely smile
In your heart
Only I could see
I called "Daddy, Daddy"
He rose and said
"Mum is now back with the Lord"

Oh Mum I miss you, love you, need you
Will you be the same
Till the next time I meet you
Coz you have taught me, kissed me, loved me ohh
There's no one in this world like you

Write me a letter, sealed with a kiss
Tell Jesus Daddy, that I love him too
I'm sure you're happy and you're smiling now
Coz Jesus is my best friend too

Heylo! Actually, I wanted to discontinue this blog, so I could shift to a private blog. Reason being? Well, cos it's so hard to write down all that I want to remember here. It's tough, cos different ppl will read ur blog, and interpret it in different ways. But, well, kinda missed this blog, so guess I'll keep this blog for just a little while. Grins.

Poly Classmates. Quite a few of them are coming out of NS soon, and are applying for admissions into SMU. Heard NS guys can have early matriculation. Cool yeah. Well, SMU's really a good choice; I love the environment here. Will miss this campus building, sigh. Anyway, no worries bout the school fees too, coz there's student loans: which means u don't have to pay any school fees yet, and interest only starts upon graduation. Good deal eh?

Webcam! Got a new one from Creative! Went down with Lewis to get it. He got a graphics card from there too. Didn't have to queue, coz it was the last hour before closing. Glad, coz now I can bring it with me! : )

Diving Licence. Have been delaying, can't delay any further; else Meiling warned our $400 might be forfeited. Corn and I would prob have to go for refreshers again. Forgot most of the stuff le. Sigh, I hate the mask-clearing part. Must overcome this phobia yeah, so I can go diving in Australia/Mauritius next time! However, high chance that I'll have to go on 22-24th. Sigh, so hesitant, cos that's the last wkend before I leave for US; don't wanna miss church. Hmm..can't have the best of both worlds yeah.

Crime Watch! Ahaha..short commercial ad for Gerald. He's being filmed in crime watch due to be screened on TV on the 30th of this month. Do catch it if u can yeah. Was just commenting that he looks good in uniform. Laughs.

Okie, gotta do work now. The song u're hearing is by Kevin, titled "My Last Love Song".

Nice yeah? He has a soothing voice. I love it too. Cya ard!

Hello!

Handphone. Just to clear up, i'm still using my own 9877 no. : ) Using my granny's X-430 hp now. Not quite used to it, but still, I love Samsung hps. Maybe it's Ushin's influence. Laughs. Still thinking which model I shd get though. Just realised that the model I lost (E810C) is only dual-band. Need to get a tri-band hp so that I can use in US. Hmm, thinking of getting the D500, but it's super ex now. Wondering if I shd wait for the price to fall, or I shd just get the Nokia 7610 which is all so common. Sigh.

Pets. *Away* Just did a survey for Elvis on pet-sitting. Thought of Fuzzy and Wuzzy, the 2 hamsters that I used to keep. They both died of obesity. Laughs. Over-feeding I guess.

Old Love Songs. Oh ya, I just realised that Kevin loves old love songs too, same with Corn, as well as me! He transferred a whole lot of songs by Bread and Michael Buble on my com. Keke, it's funny, I never knew there was an artiste called Bread.

EMail/MSN. Oh ya, for important emails, send to michellet.2004@sis.smu.edu.sg instead. Coz I hardly check the rest of mine. But pls don't spam; I already get an average of 50 mails a day. For MSN, use the sch one too, coz the hotmail one's maxed long ago.

Oh no, forgot the time. Gotta run! Have a good weekend!~

Lost HP!


Sigh. Maybe I'm just not fated to carry one eh? I didn't lose it this time though, someone stole it from my bag's side pocket. Real upset though, cos it's a new hp, and my fave!

If it's any comfort, Neil lost his hp too. And he was about to ask me my hp no when he saw my nick on msn. Laughs. Well, bad things happen for a reason ya. But I wish I cd understand things from a higher perspective.

Anyway, Gershon's mum just passed away yest morning too. Just came back from the funeral. It was getting crowded by the min, as she had lots of friends pouring in. Attending the funeral, just reminded me of the thin line between life and death. Reality often hits at the wrong times yeah. Sigh.

Reading Corn's blog now. Feeling hungry. It's strange, my house's empty and nobody's at home. Sigh.

Ok den, blog again. Anyway. if u're reading this, do post ur hp no here, cos I've lost all my contacts! Thanks!

PS: Sufeng, if u're reading this, call 90212435 to reach me k!

BGS Over! Hurray! One of my Major project's finally over. Still left with

due the next 3 wks! Sigh. But presentation yest was kinda fun! Kev was acting as the Judge with a mop on his head! It was hilarious! Laughs. Eunice and I were then the defendant and swing party lawyers. Haha. Oh ya, Neil saboed us! I was using my laptop to present; put my MSN to -Busy-, den his msg still popped up! Laughs. Den following, i put -Appear Offline-, but when Mel signed in, it popped up again! And ppl laughed. Haha.. Well, at least I learnt my lesson! Must shut down my msn next time!

Thai Trip! Sigh, I may not go though, coz stubborn Corn doesn't want to delay the flight to US. Hmphs. Keke...it's okie, Eunice last min can't make it too. There's another trip to Shanghai in June too, but it'll be too late. Sigh. Heard from Zhuo Min that this is the last year for YEP/Overseas Expedition Trips. It's a pity yeah.

Guinea pig! My little cousin gave me one! A black and brown one! Though it isn't as pretty as the white+brown+black one she has, but it's still adorable! My mUmmy loves it tOo! : ) So happy! Annabelle called hers "Squiggy"! I'm still thinking of a name for mine! Any ideas?

Fruit Diet! I'm supp to go on a fruit diet with my sister from today, in efforts to help her lose weight! It's good too la, coz I need it too! Sigh. Been eating so much junk! Oh no! But I'm supp to meet Eunice for sushi buffet later! *sHhh* dUn tell my sister ya? Going Ikea with corn on wed too, and I wanna eat the meatballs! Oh no, looks not much of a diet yeah? Sigh.

Oops, gotta go repair my laptop now. Guess what? I cracked the side of my laptop! Didn't know how it happened. Must have knocked against something real hard. Sigh, gotta change my cover for $350! Argh, could have used the money to buy half a new Canon Ixus! But still, thank God, coz my grandpa gave me $400 to repair it. Maybe I can get the new Crumpler casing now. Keke. Blessing in Disguise! : )

Tsunami Relief Work

I've signed up as a relief worker in Thailand! Gonna help rebuild houses for them, as well as teach the locals some soft skills. It's gonna be tough, as the people who went down to recce said that there were still corpses ard, and the stench wd be there. But it would be a really good experience yeah. It's a good time to clear my community hours for graduation too.

Have been thru the interview, but still deciding though, coz it'll be from 18th to 28th April. My exams only end on just the 18th, which means I have to fly str8 after my paper. Similarly, when I return on the 28th, I'll have to fly off again on the 29th for US le. There'll be no time to pack + I can't afford to fall sick after the relief trip. Also, if I do go, the last svc I'll attend wd be on 13th too; will miss the churchwide semina. Sigh, think I'm gonna miss church so much.

Benny Hinn. Went for choir practice at indoor last night. It was really good! Believe it'll be an awesome wkend ahead! Can't wait! : )

The Marriage Month. Have 2 to attend this month! dUmbo's one next wk, and darryl's the following sat! Time flies so fast yeah; it only makes me feel so old! Laughs.

Okie, gotta get back to doing my test! It's due 3pm today. Enjoy the wkend!

Attraction to Scents

Just read an interesting article on the theory that people are attracted by smells, which I find it very much true! : )
I for one, am attracted to certain smells. I love the smell of peppermint, of people who use vidal shampoo or dove foam, of fresh sunflowers, of Burberry aftershave! Laughs. But of course this indicates the inverse too: That I get put off easily by smells that I can't get accustomed to. Was telling corn that I'll prob be bringing as much shampoo as I can with me, coz I still want to smell the same in Ohio! Laughs.

Anyway, time really flies! It's March already, and bout 5 weeks to my exams. This semester seemed to fly by so fast, it is kind of scary. Does time pass this fast once u're over 21? Laughs. Well, I don't want to grow up so fast yet. Sigh.

Grandmotherly Love. One of my New Year's resolutions was to spend more time with my granny, and I'm real glad that I set that. Have been setting apart 3 weekdays each week to stay over at her house, and I have to admit, I feel so much more at home staying at her house than at mine. : ) Coz staying with her, she'll tuck me into bed and wake me up in the morning; we'll eat breakfast and dinner together, and watch telly together. It's a good feeling to be loved yeah. : ) She's the dearest thing to me, and I do pray that someday she will be saved too. Won't you pray along with me?

Okie, gotta go out now for my zone conference! Looking forward to Benny Hinn's svc next wk! I'll cya soon ya!
