Happy Boxing Day~!

it's been quite an eventful weekend, and a special one with gtb.

celebrated xmas at home by cooking up a nice meal with her, with soup and some choya to accompany us through the meal. this is perhaps the first time i've cooked so many things to make a meal set. chicken chop, sausages, bacon, eggs, soup... very nice, but also, very unhealthy. haha.. but then again, delicious things are usually unhealthy.

we exchanged our gifts after the meal. i received a specially hand-made calender filled with our photos and a card with a pop-up xmas tree. i gave her a photoframe with our photos and a card too. i would say this is the best xmas eve i've so far.

xmas day was spent with her too. lazing around and watching modern family in the early morn, and then went to swimming in the afternoon. a first time for me going swimming with her. it was a nice experience. but only today did i realize i lost my goggles in the toilet when i went to bathe. haha.. perhaps should have taken her advice of bathing at her house. i only used it a couple of times only -_-

had steamboat dinner over with her family. her bro's partner was there too, so it was quite a group. dinner was fun, but i got kinda red from the red wine.

well, today's boxing day. nothing much on except for mj, which i lost almost the same amount of what i won last night. soccer in the morning, muddy as usual.

did some housechores today. wiped the floor with the magic wiper or something, then mopped the floor, brought in the laundry, fold some clothes, mopped the kitchen again after me and sis cooked the chicken chop which caused the oil to splatter everything.

as i sit here in front of my new laptop which isn't really stable, i suddenly thought to myself, what should i do now. i thought of fyp, and i know i need to do it, but now i'm just not in the right mood. 2 more weeks before the 5 pages deadline is up. sighz. there's a lot of things that i wanna do. but doing them requires so much time that i keep delaying them. i'm starting to feel a bit anxious, worried. i hate the holidays sometimes.

New Laptop

finally i'm blogging on a laptop instead of my iphone. i secretly hate the small screen and the no-keypad typing of my thoughts.

this laptop came as a free giveaway from the smart samsung tv that my family recently bought to replace the old tvs. we have 4 tvs before buying this 40", 2 small ones that are almost spoilt, the previous living room one which was faulty also and the big one which was in my dad's room which its audio has gave way.

it's xmas's eve's eve. looking forward to spending a special time with her.

results are out! i got 2 A's for both badminton and forensic science, B+ for clinical neuropsych and B for forensic psychology. sighz... why do all my professional modules get shot down like this? slightly disappointed that i didn't get A+ for badminton, but it's okay. still can rmb i didn't do all that well for my clinical neuropsych essays, but luckily, there's still a B+ to be happy about. alright, now my cgpa is solid as steel. no worries no worries~ except for FYP.

festive seasons have always eluded me as important dates to feel special. the only time i spent it with someone special turned out be quite a flop. somehow, with her by my side now, every festivals became something to look forward to. but of cuz, this comes with the need to think of what to do for the dates. it comes as quite a challenge for someone who doesn't go out that often. but i'm sure it's worth every effort.

2nd week hitting the shuttle

Played badminton last week and this week; just yesterday. I didn't feel like i was underperforming, but somehow I feel the uncles are undermining my skills.

One of them told me to stay in front always so he would have space to move in the back court, just like how he and another auntie always play. I was thinking that that kind of play was more for mixed doubles, and to use it on me, is kinda like saying I might as well be a female. Haha.. Wasn't that pissed, so I just listened to what he said and tried to stay in front.

The other got fed up partnering me and told me to form the front back stance with me at the back. Well obviously that ain't gonna work if we just stay at that position -_- before the game begins, he still can say 'no worries, anyhow play only' when the other side tried to balance the abilities of the two sides.

Sometimes I wonder if im the difficult one to be partnered with. Is it becuz I'm too used to playing in a competitive game back in jc that I'm always move back in preparation for smashes? Or is it becuz my singles mentality always take over in the court?

Whatever the case, it's always interesting to do some self-discovery.

Oh, and there's a same age guy studying law in smu who talked a lot of things which I wasn't really quite interested in. Met him quite some time back. Maybe could approach him next time when I need a lawyer.

Eventful holidays

It's been quite a rush since the exams have ended. First was the trip to telunas beach resort for ocip organized a Christian club in school. Those 7 days were quite nice as most of the times were relaxing, the other parts were building a wall around an elementary school under the hot sun and living in a kampung village. It's not easy getting used to their lifestyle especially when it's so different from our current one. Would talk about these 7 days perhaps after I get a new laptop. My Asus has finally died after 4 years. How nice. Right before my final sem.

The past three days were spent with kids. It was a kids camp organized by the welfare service club in school which I was asked to join by yn. I was initially quite reluctant, as I havent really been quite a kind figure I the kids my mum has been taking care of over the years. So I didn't really know if I can interact with them in a positive manner. Well, it turns out I'm pretty okay with it. My kid on the first day started out a bit cold, but eventually warm up to the camp after a while, and also warm up to me. My second and third day kid was the same. He was something like a small size leader in his own ways. The more interesting part of the camp is seeing the interactions btw the kids; chasing after one another regardless of gender, brothers fighting, arguments, talkin back. Just a few days and it's more than enough to tire most of the volunteers, imagine being a parent. At the end of the camp, my first day kid wrote me a card with drawings on it. He can draw quite well I must admit. At least better than me. Haha.. Hopefully I leave an inspiring image on them as I've wished to. Idolizing in a positive way, or modeling, is quite a good tool for the kids to grow. Not as rules, but as guidance. Could sense that some of them really liked my company, the small leader even asked me to go up on stage with them if they won a prize, which eventually we did, third! And my first kid was quite accepting of my lousy props-doing since he's the one who was going to wear it during the stage performance. It was nice seeing yn interact with the kids, especially the youngest and most troublesome of all in the group. All the fictional stories she came up with were kinda cute, with all games she played with him. Got a motherly feel to it. Haha..

Did some data entries this morning and now off to town to retrieve data from my spoilt laptop. Hungry, haven't had lunch.

張宇-雨一直下

As I was studying for my last paper for the sem, this song keep replaying in my head. it's the chorus part that really got me stuck on this song. zhang yu, classic~

song kinda described the despair, depicted by the female in the mv, that she had to face when she decided to leave the guy. hmm.. usually a singer's music video protrayed a same gender as the singer him/her-self. but in this case, it's the other way.

old song. but old songs are good.
perhaps due to the bias that if they're not good, they won't not be shown now already. these would perhaps push all the besties in the best into the oldies section and leave the main bulk of oldies in the unheard section.

LAST PAPER.
and i'm using my sis's laptop to revise, and got distracted.
i hate it when i don't have time to read the textbook and then after the paper the txtbk becomes a unneeded existence.
and i also hate it when i can't read the chapters twice before i enter the exam hall.
