Lots of crazy marathons
looks like my previous post was gd to explain my dissapearance from here recently.. it was the too busy factor :(
like one of my fren said, i'm having quite a number of crazy marathons.. the previous week was talking bout test marathon then movie marathon n now recently is project n report marathon. wow seriously today or particularly NOW finally i manage to rest/take a break from this marathon.. so to say tat it has not yet end argghhh
so i had 3 major things tat filled my time for this week - technical comm report 1st draft, lab report and my SP. tech comm has been killing me man haha. doin the lit review part is horrigible because of the amount reading required.. eyes popping out but glad tat this part settle liao only left editting after the tutor check our 1st draft. also had my lab report which i rushed on tuesday nite.
then mon-wed is the setting up of the "walkthrough" maze for the event TODAY n TOMORROW!! 1st time i actually stayed in school from morning till late at nite. yesterday actually stayed in sch till pass midnite to finish up n finalise everything.. but it's always a joy to c tat the final outcome justifies the amount of hard work we put in.. looking forward to the last day tml which will have the prize giving for the poster competition and some talk or so on. so glad tat we even have our SMU n NUS StompAIDS ppl to come visit. well done to everybody!!
this event really proved me wrong thinking tat it'll be a failure although i know the volunteer recruitment is still a failure haha.. no worries about tat since we know there r not tat many souls willing to reach so far yet. i'm not saying tat there r few kind souls but it's about the number who can actually contribute their time to a higher extend as required for this thing.
so yap tats all for now.. time for much needed rest :)

More to come
just realised tat i blog more when i'm troubled with things so a long gap would mean it's just the normal boring life or i'm too busy or my comp died haha
ya now tat the rough/gruelling week of tests has passed.. things r not actually over yet.. this coming week or i'd say weeks to come will be packed with reports n projects datelines n not to forget my 'much-awaited' SP event itself on thursday n friday but the setting up will start from monday onwards everynite... so sian la to stay back in school at nite just to setup the place
just very lazy la cos havent relax enuf from the past week n now falling sick liao.. coughing at the intermediate stage haha.. hope it doesn't get worse cos i have to refrain from playing sports longer :(
anyway this week gotta meet the datelines for my lab report n technical communication written report (the one tat had some probs but i've talked to them so settle liao n hopefully all goes well)
talking abt tat tech comm project, i wonder y the tutor got suspicious tat our grp has some prob.. but maybe it's quite obvious since only a part of the grp went to c her for advice regarding our project instead of the whole grp. hopefully she doesn't interfere la cos we r trying our best to settle it ourself.. anyway this is part of learning to deal with grp of ppl so if she step-in then wats the point.. it'll only be breaking the grp up.
tats all for now.. gotta start on my literature review part for this written report

Yeah! Yeah! Reached the finishing line
yap yap very happy ever since the moment i finished my final lap of test marathon this morning. :) looks i survived!! haha thx everybody for ur support n concern.. think i'll need it again in few weeks time haha cos i know there r more datelines coming up but for now i shall PARTY!! but need to get some proper rest 1st.. been very worn out mentally n physically to get through this week.. not enuf slp n now falling sick liao.. sian
anyway today has been a very busy n packed day even though i finished my test early in the morning already. went for class till 11.30 then lunch then decided to skip the next lecture cos i needed to prepare for my accounting presentation later in the afternoon. went back to room but was very tired so end up taking a 1 hour nap.. woke up to settle some of my SP stuff then quickly read the notes n copy the answers on to the transparency.. it's a good thing i already have the answers taken from ppl who took accounting last time.. shows how 'hardworking' i am rite haha
accounting went fine until the annoying tutor decided to check everybody's work. obviously i didn't have anything to show her but glad i managed to copy some answers quickly onto my notepad before she reached me. yap so wasn't tat bad anyway haha.. at least better than showing her empty paper.
after accounting finished went back room but can't rest cos needed to submit my tech comm project interview stuff before the big hall event at nite - Mooncake Festival.. i'm involved in the technical part(sound system) of it n we were asked to setup by 6.30pm when the real event is gonna start only at 9pm!! crazy rite?? but anyway it was drizzling so we had to wait at the shelter n delay the setup.. waste time only.. later on got some missing items so have to rush here n there to get them.. so tired n finally when everything finish it's already past 12 already.. busy busy busy period is over so gotta sleep soon :)

Woke up looking for reasons to carry on
i still remember very clearly this phrase my fren use to say back in my secondary school days.. it used to be a joke but now it's happening to me. sounds damm depressed rite? ya it's true i'm damm stress n depressed now. a very horrible week i'm having after the mid-term break but it wasn't even a break in the 1st place.
so why's this week like hell.. 4 days with 4 quiz + 1 presentation + meetings + mooncake festival + my SP stuff. this list is minus the lab report tat i do not know when's the dateline(either this week which will be tomolo = i'm DEAD or next week = life extended for one week). it's just so unlucky tat there's error on the schedule for my lab where the dates r messed up. tried emailing the prof but i think the assistant replied me. he aint any help n just told me wat's in the schedule. then when he finally found out tat the schedule got prob after i told him, guess wat he said? he said he can't confirm the dates for me n ask me to approach the lab instead. wat a waste of my time n finally today i cleared my doubts after asking a senior about the 2 weeks dateline for submission. it's known to most tat we have 2 weeks to hand up our formal lab report from the day we did the prac but the confusing part is whether the 1 week midterm break is counted into the 2 weeks dateline. asking around gets me mixed answers.. guess i've been asking the wrong ppl.
one less worry but i still have so much more to worry about.. all those test is the ones tat is stressing me big time.. y the hell do they wanna put all the test into one week? i'm having one test on every single day from monday to thursday then i still have my accounting presentation on thursday n meetings in between those days. i'm so worked out every single day cos now i only have one night to prepare for each test on next day. all the time i spent studying was for psychology test n luckily it turn out fine yesterday or else i'll be even more depressed now. kinda regret y am i so crazy to take 2 very heavy electives this sem(accounting & psychology).. actually i didn't expect accounting to be such a huge elective n psychology has so much bio stuff in it!! i actually read abt 400 pages of the psychology book filled with words just for this single test!! i'm actually breaking my own 'guiness record'
then just now had another killer test.. circuit analysis. i totally have no idea abt tat subject until yesterday nite when i started studying for it. but just now i guess i screwed up badly.. reminded me of the feelings i had during exams in jc.. mind went blank then panic n felt so hopeless. by the time i calmed down i only have 10 minutes.. panic again then my brain just can't function properly so in the end only can do half the questions. pray hard those were done correctly or else there goes my 15% for finals. it doesn't help to c ppl around u who looks confident after the test.. sigh am i the only one who screwed up?
i know i should be preparing for tomolo's test - maths.. another killer :( but i guess i should just relax 1st n recover from my dissapointment of the test just now. came online to chat with some frens cos i think i really need someone to talk to at this moment. thx zoe n hsui for the listening ear n encouragement. feeling alot better now after chatting n blogging this post. just remembered tonite got meeting for sports subcomm.. sian sian haha
k i think 1 hour spent on this post is gd enuf to release my stress n pick myself up again. time for lunch then classes n work hard for the coming days.
hope this will not be my last ever post haha. dun worry :)
I MUST SURVIVE!!

Things tat should not happen
i dun understand n i'm frustated over y so many things tat is not meant to be happening is happening!!
it's just another thing to do with my StompAIDS SP... everything has been planned, so many things have been done - submission of proposal, liason, sourcing for sponsors, plan programmes, printed flyers, posters, banners and bla bla.. but we just can't move on b'cos of wat.. u know wat?? cos HPB can't decide on funding our project!! wait one day, 2 day, n days then finally today afternoon only they can finalise.. lucky it was good news or else i'll curse even more haha.. seriously wat's the matter with them.. they recruited us, made us organise an event, then they rejected our proposal 1st time cos they say it's expensive, then we cut down n wait wait wait for so long before they finally decided today.. actually wat we r asking for is not even over-budget lo compared to the amount they spent the last time they held an event here by themself.. i shall not disclose exact figures here but it's only about one quarter of tat amount. real dissapointed with them man but good enuf tat they approved it finally.
another thing is about affairs of the heart.. not talking abt boy-girl thing though i know it sounded tat way in the previous sentence haha but it's about the group of ppl tat i'm with nowadays.. have i expanded my wing of group of frens too much? i used to be with only my hall ppl or more precisely my block ppl for the past year but this year i've gotten closer with my MSA ppl as well.. seriously i'm currently always stuck in the situation of deciding which group to hang out or have meals with nowadays.. i really feel an opening gap between me n my usual hall mates.. feels quite bad about tat cos sometimes it seems like i pangseh they all when i'm with my m'sian grp ppl.. i've been wishing upon the star tat i could just mix this 2 groups together but i can c it's really impossible.. i've tried but it aint working man.. bonds r breaking n i dun like the feeling of tat.. i really can't imagine getting attached now cos then i'll have another half to be with cos tat gal is not in any of this 2 groups haha.. split myself into more parts eh
oops think i finally blurted it out but nah nothing is happening.. yet. i dunno wat i want.. sometimes i wish for it but still i'm telling myself to pull back n let go(tats the thing about this current song).. just so confused.. will talk about it some other time.

My heart sings this song
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
♪♫♪♫ high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you

Tips on research for psycho students
A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?"
To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."
To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"

Teamwork & dealing with ppl
this has been an ongoing problem for me but i'm feeling very disturbed now over it. just had a discussion with one of my grp member n it sure was a damm tensed conversation on msn until everything has been blurted out from deep down inside. i truly understand wat they've kept hidden till now cos i've been through it. there's always this thing tat i dread each time i'm involved in grp work or projects - members who don't contribute. things r worse when these ppl r close to us n they're actually nice ppl but they just don't commit enough. it sure is damm hard to try to face them n break our thoughts to them abt their lack of responsibility n contribution to the grp. we r all frens, team members n we do not know how to approach this issue for fear of spoiling the relationship in the grp but then we also fall back on the fact tat we r building up a volcano inside if we continue to silence ourself. worse now tat i'm in the middleman position of hearing complaints from the unhappy team members n then have a nice chat with the 'guilty ones'. will try my best ok? really pray hard things will go well.
anyway this is not the only grp i'm having trouble with currently. another of my subject grp have the same issue since the very start but till now it havent gone serious yet so i think it's almost time for me to settle this grp as well before volcanoes start erupting.. end of the world :(

Limits to commitment
basically this post is to sum up abt wat i've gone through so far for my Special Project - STOMPAids since sch started until today when we've completed our last 'training' n debriefing session at PCC(People's Care Centre) and HPB(Health Promotion Board). the topic on this combined-uni project(NTU, NUS n SMU) has been long due to be posted here but i only decided to talk about it here now haha i'm just so lazy.
anyway all this started when i 1st saw the email to recruit members for this SP tat is related to promoting AIDS awareness sometime near the end of last semester. wat really struck me to sign up for this is because i've been trained/involved in this kind of things before back in Malaysia with my participation in FPA(Family Planning Assoc) n YAC(Youth Advisory Centre) so i guess it's just my instinct tat made me want to contribute towards this SP since i know more or less wat's all this about. wat i did not realise then was tat it requires much more commitment than wat i expected. basically this SP is taking up more than half the time i spend on my ECAs which is no better than last year when i was a blk rep.
wat really bothered me abt this SP is not the time spent to do wat is beneficial but the time n money spent on transportation. it's just very annoying for me to spend 2-3 hours and abt S$5 on travelling each time to go down to PCC. besides tat i seriously find the 'training' sessions a waste of our time cos it's just too long-winded.. can't they just get straight to the point n stop spoon-feeding us on every single minor detail of wat is to be done. i'm not the only one feeling this way as almost all the other participants have brought up n agree on this issue during our lunch time chat. we all just feel tat HPB is just doin a very sucky job in guiding n aiding us.. by right WE r suppose to be the ones HELPING OUT at THEIR events but they have just dumped everything on us to organise campaigns, source for sponsors n recruit our own volunteers. wat kind of shit is this? we r suppose to be VOLUNTEERS to u all not REPLACEMENT of u all.
it's seriously no wonder to find out today tat many ppl from the other universities(NUS n SMU) have pulled out from this project. we r just very dissapointed with HPB but we r definitely doing our part for CDC with a sincere heart. our first n most successful event was the repainting of a ward there with volunteers coming from NUS, SMU n NTU which just ended 2 weeks ago. well done to all those who was there to paint n get painted as well haha.. also great thanks to the sponsors for the paints n the ppl who went the xtra mile to source for them.
cheers n hope to work with u all again next time. maybe we shld form our own group for this next time :)

it's seriously no wonder to find out today tat many ppl from the other universities(NUS n SMU) have pulled out from this project. we r just very dissapointed with HPB but we r definitely doing our part for CDC with a sincere heart. our first n most successful event was the repainting of a ward there with volunteers coming from NUS, SMU n NTU which just ended 2 weeks ago. well done to all those who was there to paint n get painted as well haha.. also great thanks to the sponsors for the paints n the ppl who went the xtra mile to source for them.
cheers n hope to work with u all again next time. maybe we shld form our own group for this next time :)
