the week that was

a week into the new semester and this was what i'd realised:

one, my spanish is so darn rusty.

two, my chemistry - ohmygosh i really need to study them all back again.

three, i'm so glad i'm in debate cos it just makes studying environmental law so much easier, and;

four, it's really not at all that easy to quit debate. like he said "debate is a large chunk of our uni life and to not have you there is hard" AWWWW. so sweet. but that's not the point lalala. i think debating has actually shaped me into who i am today in the most positive chi ying and yang energy way ever. serious! ;D

had an awesome weekend ;) we catched the sherlock holmes movie and round and round the mall to search for this eating place. and yesterday, everything just fell into place ;)))

kk is so hot these days. i get tired all the time, like so easily. i'm just taking whatevernots oppurtunity i have to sleep before tomorrow starts. that's the new week where all the workload starts to pile in.

on another note, i really miss a good read. a friend reminded me of the books i used to read last night. right now, the time traveler's wife is something i would love to dig in.

also, i got to know as the vanilla and strawberry flavoured girl HAHA. weird line to end a post with but oh well, tooodles and be good XOXO ;)

cav on a 'lil wupid '09 and a few last holiday drops

with only about five days left in penang, i'm contemplating on how i should wisely spend my last days of holidays best before the new semester starts. thing is, i have practically done almost everything and everything that i wanted to do. i've travelled, catch up with some old pals, eat (that will never be enough for me!), sleep (ditto!), and um, read? like the economics and stuff? heh, nah. i kinda made an *coughscoughs* informal announcement that i might be ending my debating career after the last round at GEMS WUPID last week. that's world universities peace invitational debate. very cool tournament, the last of 2009 for me. another tournament where i get to debate on a world class debating arena and meet lots and lots of ang-moh. hehe.

they say it will never happen. either i'll get suck back right in or they suck me in into debating again. hah, we'll see.

aaaanyways, so after much contemplation, i'd knew what i really wanted to do. i really really wanted to stay in and catch up with the family and watch lots lots of movies and plan where to eat out five times a day. i've rarely been home these days and yeah, i really miss this. so before i fly again, i'd really like to hoo-za with my hommies. must spend this last few holi-days wisely. next sem is going to be crazy as usual. i'm anticipating more assignments and those lab works and oh yeah, fieldtrips? grr.

here's some of the latest pictures during WUPID. i cut my hair yesterday, so i can't do the curling-my-hair-with-my-fingers thing anymore t.t but i lovin' my new long bob!

here's shu fen and i. she's my junior slash team mate for wupid '09. i love the dress i was in!

everyone look so proper in this pic! ;p here's us with LP from mahidol university, bangkok. he's this really cool monk debater. plus he remembers me from smu hammers singapore! he has officially become my favourite monk ;)))

more pics will be up on facebook soon! it's so much more convenient ;p

signing off now, xoxo

bangkok experience: part I

hellow every buddy!

i'm back from bangkok =D

was there for the first inaugural asian bp debate in chulalongkorn university =D

bangkok's so awesome i wana go back there again.

funny thing, we didn't get to taste tomyam. we couldn't seem to find it! ish peliknye. thought it would be all over the streets or something since they're famous for that.

getting real tired so this will be a quick update. and here's one picture of me and sheren in suvarnabumi airport in bangkok.

more pictures next time! just in case you wanna see more pictures, part I of our bangkok adventure is already out in my facebook ;)))

we had a great time in bangkok and everything was awesome for me though the food was not as i expected them to be. the debating experience that i had would be something that i would treasure for the rest of my life *emo

alright more updates soon! good night xoxo.

time of my life

i just realised that we're gonna get to celebrate loy kratong in bangkok. issisnt it niceee?

i've always wanted to watch the loy kratong. now i even get to experience it ;DDD

***

one another note, here's one of my favourite pictures of us ;)

these two are one of the reasons for the time of my life in uni. <3>

i'm on furthest right if you haven't already know ;ppp

more pics next time!

***

so i went shopping today.

i shop but judy dropped. ha ha! this girl is so funny.

everywhere i went in the mall today, i hear black eye peas' songs. it's like the whole mall is on b.e.p. record. only two of their songs were played though. "heartbreaker" and "boom boom pow!" but coolio. i love them, so no complains. ;D

which reminds me of fergie. heard her husband josh duhamel woke a stripper up in the middle of the night to have sex? omgosh, if that's true, i'm utterly dissapointed at him. thought he's one of those loyal hollywood celebrity husbands.

anyways, if that's true, he's on my weirdo list.

oh man, i'm supposed to be researching on thailand, and important stuff like non-intervention policies and times of war. look what i made myself do??? ;p

<3

chula here i come

now that exams are finally over, i feel...weird. like my daily routine has been disrupted because before this, my life revolved around assignments, quizzes, exams, and the like. it's a nice feeling, nevertheless, knowing that i've already put in my best, day and night.

now everything seemed kinda light. like i can watch drama at ease, talked to my room mates with ease, and last night, i felt so excited just by talking to mom. just because i knew that i don't have a whole piling workload waiting for me when i put down the phone nor do i need to crammed my head with formulas and facts.

though now it's time to study once again. on world issues. politics, nuclear, war, humanity, socials. ahems.

will be off to bangkok for the inaugural asian british parliamentary debate in two days. though i'm excited, it's nervewrecking knowing that now the university wants some results. tnc just analogized us to world cup. "we're footballers of the world and we will win this!!!" wow what an interesting guy. yep. we just debated in front of him just now. heh.

one word: A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

well of course i want results as well. it just ain't easy. it's not football right. how often does someone's point get across the room? exactly my point.

anyways, this will be my second international tourney. asian bp will be organized by chulalongkorn university, bangkok. its quite prestigious seeing as we have people like tj as ca and tate, logan, and sharm as dca. must be careful not to embarass ums now =/

so, economist, here i comee.

xoxo.

the thing about me is

...i do not have the dicipline to update my blog. and then it died. and i revive it back. which is the best thing. well to be fair, i absolutely do not have the time to update. at all. this is something which i have been harping on for as long as i can remember. ever since i started to know life and became busy. ever since, ever.

heh.

this short semester is finally over. i thank God for i have survive probably one of the craziest semesters i have to endure. this sem was assignments, assignments, assignments. pop quizzes. tests. labs. reports. field trips. ecetra ecetra. you name it, you know it. and then before i know it, it was finals all over again. and then, it's over.

my.

second.

semester.

as.

an.

undergraduate.

is.

finally.

over.

i cannot believe it.

not that this sem was any different from the last, but this sem is one hell of a short semester. packed. action packed. with loadsa fun, drama, and tears. and yet at the same time, bombastic craziness, laughter, and fun filled my time through this bunch of people called friends. and my brothers and sisters down the block.

and here i am now, at singapore for a debate tournament which i have been a little anticipating for. the smu hammers debate. i secretly cannot wait to debate.

staying at this dormitory style accomodation called footprints hostel with shan shan, chze lor, and poh leen, i am truly grateful for the superfast broadband they have here for my mobile is currently disabled. i now know that communication breakdown can truly affect somebody. and that it is not called a breakdown for nothing. muahaha.

0215 hours and i gotta sleep. have to be up in four hours. on another note, i'm actually dreading to debate like i always do before any tournament. then the fire lights up and boom! kidding kidding. so my mobile's dead. hrm. so...to mom, dad, sis, the big family, friends, brothers, and sisters down the block. don't worry! i'm pretty much alive!!!

more update soon. if i do not awesomely slack again.

xoxo.

uitm friendlies

here i comeee~!

not.

i'm kinda dreading you so to speak.

because!

i don't know what to expect really.

actually i never knew what to expect in all debate tournaments. haha!

dum dum dee da da dum.

***

harh har.

uitm frendlies is another sort of friendly debate competition that i will be going to.

later today. at two in the afternoon.

oh my god.

i think there's something wrong with me because i don't feel anything. i mean, i do, but its nothing serious.

harh har who am i kidding.

i am now in the library. with yvonne. blogging. no, i'm blogging, she's not =D

yeah, first time blogging in the library. woohoo. lol.

i'm suppose to be doing whatever that i am suppose to be doing in the library, like say, erm studying my metafile (uh, i mean matterfile) - its a file with all our debate notes, etc etc ;p, or at least working on my batik sketches that i have been putting on hold for such a looong time. woohoo talking about procrastination. i'm such an expert in it ;p

no, i was just exxagerating. i'm really not-hey-i'm suppose to be talking about uitm friendlies. what is the meaning of this? lol. sounds familiar?

so in four hours we'll be heading off to uitm sabah which is near ip, the other ums residential college, debating our hearts out till 10 p.m. tonight. the schedule's really tight, though. geez, they squeezed everything in seven hours. go figure.

ooh i hope i can do well later. a senior is in my team and i'm kind of...intimidated by her.

nola nola. joking JOKING.

sheesh.

the thing is i have loads to write but i'm really being disturbed by the fact that i have to go study my metafile now or at least study something. oh for god's sake at least watch the tournament videos you know.

the seniors told us that uitm is not bad, they like to use all the bombastic words in the beginning of their speech and they have thick matterfiles filled with notes from debatabase. but there's noneed to feel intimidated or anything.

most importantly, don't panic, breathe, and...think! fast!

*deep breaths*

so that's about it for now. a little geist for you to digest.

xoxo.

***

oh, and thank you, peter, for the espirit umbrella. it's very pretty. and its pink! ;)

and uh, i don't know what else.

i'll tell you people what happened to my ums umbrella next time. or if i forget about it then i'll probably talk about it next year or something.

;p

p/s: oh wow yvonne just decided that she's going to start a blog now. that was umm...fast. it's not me! i didn't influence her! really one. ;p

psyched

i'll be off to labuan tomorrow.

in five hours i have to drag myself out of bed on a saturday morning, wake my housemate fredericka up (haha! if i can!), wake myself up in the shower, gather all my half-packed stuff, walk to our apartment busstop with the rest of the team, board an almost three-hour bus ride to menumbuk (don't ask why is it called in such a way) and then take a speedboat (omg! so cool kan!) to labuan.

wheee~!

i feel so damn psyched about tomorrow. despite all that dragging myself up, i feel so totally excited about going to labuan and i don't know why. we're going there to train for god's sake.

maybe it's the duty-free chocalates over there. yesla i'm so chocalate-deprived i have to steal koko crunch from my room mate judy the other day. no i'm just kidding. she just stocks up koko crunch on her shelves

like there's no more chocalate tomorrow. and she's very generous about them. really!

the labuan trip. well actually we're still not clear about the purpose of this trip. its under the english debate club. yes i'm a debater now believe it or not. we're just not sure if we're going there for a joy tour or we're going there for hardcore training with the ums-kal team. oh they're the debate team from labuan campus. kampus something labuan. sorry la -.- i forgot. but actually we do know we're doing a little bit of both. tour and training i mean. umm or probably a liitle bit more of training than tour :/

so anyways. i'm still so psyched~ rika kept asking me to sleep early because if i don't wake up tomorrow she'll end up not waking up too. never mind i say, the others will give us morning calls of our lives. hahaha.

but i have trouble packing. again. i really hope i don't overpack cause i always tend to. although it's not like i will cause i'll be using a backpack and not a luggage bag. umm a big backpack but how big can a bagpack be right? right.

i still hope i don't overpack.

p/s: yay rika just told me i don't have to pack any shampoos and all those kinda stuff cause she will be packing hers and i can just share with her. that means one thing: more space for clothes ;p okay joking JOKING. sheesh.
