この学期は大変です!
このがっきはたいへんです!
Kono gakki wa taihen desu!
This semester (trimester, actually) is terrible!

Happy Lunar New Year, fellow Chinese people! And Happy Valentine's Day, to all the couples out there!

My (non-existent) Lunar New Year one-week-break is finally a little less stressful after finally finishing the résumé website assignment a few hours ago in time for our usual 'First Day of Chinese New Year' dinner. Although... there still isn't much of a break because I still need to start on the editing for my Broadcast Journalism module's assignment, and I'll be working this coming Wednesday and Sunday (oh, the things a poor student do for money =\).

OH OH OH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY S.LAN!!! I'm sorry schoolwork kept me away from celebrating your birthday with you, but I'll make it up to you! (Somehow...)

(WAHAHA. Now it's my turn to hold your jacket hostage XD *evil laughter*)

Us uni clique had a gathering/outing yesterday after class because M.Yi, [livejournal.com profile] thesuperette and William's birthdays fell in the past two weeks.

Oh, digressing a bit, my Magazine Journalism lecturer is so bloody archaic it's not even cute. He disapproves of using 'one' in phrases like, "One has to first marvel at how the human ear can endure the volume of the music." and the words 'albeit' and 'ponder' because 'one' is a very old way of addressing one's self, 'albeit' supposedly went obsolete in the 1600s - and why are we even using it? - and 'ponder' is a Singaporean expression.

WHAT?

'One' is a perfectly good and neutral way to address a person or entity in formal writings, and 'ponder' is an English word, no? What in the world made it Singaporean? It's not even Singlish! AND I LIKE USING 'ALBEIT'. It shows that I know my vocabulary, it makes me feel more intellectual, and words going obsolete is a very very sad thing, if you ask me. 'Albeit' has its uses, which is more than I can say for so many weird words that can be substituted with simpler words that mean the same thing. And people do still use 'albeit'! Stop being so stiff about language when we're not writing formal stuff and wake up and smell the 21st century. Seriously.

As I was saying )

思い出はいつもきれいな。

Memories are always beautiful.

Last night, after Jacq's birthday celebration/party, where Y.Ting and I indulged in Arthur's Epic Expression of Disbelief (from series 1, episode 3: HERE, from disparue) and my mother was still imposing the you-are-12-and-your-curfew-is-at-10p.m.-and-I-will-bloody-well-call-you-to-remind-you-of-that-to-spoil-the-celebration-mood, I finally got to watch the pilot episode of Glee (the Director's Cut version, because I'm resourceful like that, and the Internet is my best friend).

And I cried. True story.

‘Just one more time’ )

OMG SECOND MERLIN SERIES 2 TRAILER! Be still, my heart!

WARNING! There are spoilers!

私の大学友人は感謝している。
わたしのだいがくゆうじんはかんしゃしている。
Watashi no daigaku yuujin wa kanshashiteiru.
I am thankful for my university friends.

So it's the second day of my trimester break, and the few of us met up today for lunch at Miss Clarity Cafe (no worries, I survived the sheer pink and "girliness" of the place) and games at The Mind Cafe to celebrate the end of assignments and the trimester. Or at least, that's what I thought, until halfway through the games when they brought out the cheesecakes we bought at Miss Clarity Cafe, along with candles, and started singing Happy Birthday for Y.Ting and me (her birthday is just eight days earlier than mine, but she's a year older).

Aww... XD

Photos to come in a later entry because it's late and I'm tired and my old laptop doesn't work Photoshop as fast as it used to.

But first!

Serendipitous discovery )

Because I have an almost 3000-words public relations proposal and a 2500-to-3000-words audience study research essay due in about four and seven days respectively, I am actively searching for ways to procrastinate.

Cue the run-on ramblings! )

Oh, and regarding the first part of this entry about the Audience Studies presentation and the assholey questions the arses from the other group threw at us? My group got a distinction grade for the whole assignment, anyway. Take that, so there. HAH.

And it's Y.Mei's birthday today! Happy 21st, babe! Another one of us has become legal!

Happy birthday to me~

Am full of food, cake and milk tea. Am heading to the shower, then to finish up some schoolwork (presentation script) and then it's off to bed. More to come next entry (?).

Happy happy evening/night. Love my friends.
=)

Thanks to S.Lan, Samantha, B.Hua, and K.Ying (who gave me that big-ass balloon) for dinner and Kinokuniya book vouchers (YAY FOR BOOKS!); and S.Lan, J.Ting, [livejournal.com profile] zhenni0306, my aunt(!), Jon, H.En, B.Hua, [livejournal.com profile] bigeyesguy, S.Jie (the staff in charge of my course in Singapore!), Jacq, S.Siang (the insurance agent for my family and H.En's brother!), K.Ying, Fabian, and Y.Mei for the SMS birthday wishes!

And, um, [livejournal.com profile] nix_ed! For co-operating with me by wishing me 'Happy birthday' when I demanded her to (LOL!), and Natalie! Who I bumped into when I went to meet up with my friends for dinner earlier this evening.

Did I miss anyone? Oh! There's also [livejournal.com profile] lausi_gm and [livejournal.com profile] spilled_notes! And a few others who posted on my Facebook wall (I can't keep track! The new Facebook interface/layout is infuriating!)!

And, uh, yes. *HAPPY!*

(Yes, and you, for that unexpected MP3 file that I was almost afraid of opening.)

And might I repeat? I LOVE MY FRIENDS. FEEL MY LOVE, YO!

Watashi wa sangatsu no kodomo desu.
I'm a child of March. ^_^

It has always seemed like lots of people are born in March. March-born people are awesome! *Points at self*

Happy 21st to my oldest friend, and the first H.En I ever knew =)

And happy 15th, [livejournal.com profile] spilled_notes! This is like, what, the third time I wished you a happy birthday? Haha...

And this is where I start to catch up with all the things I wanted to post on LJ—not in chronological order of them happening, though.

March 19: The day before my 3rd last deadline of this trimester )

March 13: The end of an era )

Remember this, where I complained about my high heels and followed it up with a proclamation that I'll "never wear them ever again, unless absolutely necessary"?

I spoke too soon )

Well, here it is, my last day of "freedom". Tomorrow brings the first day of a new semester, which also means that I'll have to be prepared to surrender precious sleeping hours to work on essays and whatnots.
*Rolls up sleeves*
Hopefully I'll procrastinate a little less this time (hmm... I remember wishing for this before the start of every school term), just a tiny bit less, and I'll be very happy.

In preparation for the new semester... )

And a tour of my desk )


Before I forget, Happy 23rd Birthday, 徹平!

fleeting human contact
both of us lost,
but for a moment
we're lost together.
I wonder who you are."
