Shopping Spree

So tired!!! but happy..... (after I got some rest)

Went shopping the last two days!!!!!!

Yesterday went to town with dear dear to shop and watch...

Aquamarine

Hor..... you must be thinking it's a teenage ger movie... yes, you're right. No choice, there's not much show to watch... the other movie with better rating is The Hostel but I'm SO glad I didnt choose it cuz I heard from those who went, its PORN cum GORY GORY movie....yuck

Aquamarine is actually quite nice and has its heartwarming part...

I especially like the starfish earrings in it!!! The mermaid aquamarine wear real starfish as stick-on earrings cuz the starfish will constantly praise you in your ears... so cute...

Anyway, aquamarine in latin actually means water of the sea.... nice hur

I felt bad dragging dear dear to shop around with me... he was having a dull headache all the while...and I also got really tired after shopping for abt 3hrs... and it's really quite sian and boring to shop with a guy.....he can only carry bag for you but not give you opinions on things...sigh...

Then today, I went for the young NTUC Dual-thlon... only 200m swim and 3km run. Was suppose to meet the rest at Clifford Pier at 730am but I woke up at 730am!! Why? Cuz too tired from shopping and the only reason I woke up is because my mum was knocking cuz my naughty turtle managed to loosen the pump pipe and almost all the tank water flowed out onto the kitchen floor....

Wah wake up late and kena scolded in the morning becuz of the mess.... very siong le... so I quickly get ready and tell my mum I'll fill in the rest of the water when I get back and rush out to take cab.....

Then on the cab, I start to have stomachache....dunno wat's wrong with me, eat alot alot like 5 meals a day now and keep going toilet....haizzz....

So by the time I reached there I was very desperate to find a toilet....heng the mobile toilet actually quite clean and has TOILET PAPER!!!! hahahaha

After the race went to meet nicole and walk around marina area, bought some stuff then went down to orchard with her to meet pearl and did somemore shopping.... shopping with gers is still the best....heehee

Yah, i bought quite some stuff these two days and now have a gozilla-size hole in my pocket le.....going to stop shopping for a while....

What I bought?

2 pairs of shoes from mondo, 2 Topshop necklaces, 1 skirt from Iora, 1 PINK top from mphosis, 1 purple top from Topshop, 1 green shop from Bega and 1 Green top from Forever21

Heehee.... (SINGING) "I'm broke but I'm happy.... I'm poor but I'm kind...."

The Story of the Pear

Once upon a time, there is a little ger name Shu Ci (me lo...)

In her primary school class, everyone was divided into 3 groups, The Apples... The Oranges.... and The Pear

The Apples are the brightest of the lot

followed by the Oranges.....

and the Pears... the dumbest and the smallest group of the 3


Yep... This little ger is in the pear group... she has no idea what is going on during the class most of the time.... this is because all the lessons except for the mother tongue class is in english.

Her family doesnt speak english and she doesnt read. Even when she watch english cartoons, she has no idea what they were talking abt. Ppl her age grew up watching smurfs, carebear and all she knows is that smurfs are the blue creatures and carebears are those coloured bears. Watching sitcoms, she pretend tat she understood wat was going on.... she laugh when there's laughter....



Not only she have difficult understanding english, she has difficulty writing it too...

her essay

This is how she will write her name

No, she doesnt suffer from dyslexia.... but she write like that.....

Her results was one of the last few in class...


so her mum got really worried...and thus started her tuition classes for english and maths.

Her science is quite bad too.... in her PSLE, she scored two Bs and two A* and aggreaget of 228.... one of the lowest in class also....and was posted to bukit batok secondary school

Her main problem was still the english language....

Her first mid year exam, she got 59 for english, then end of year she got 57 and then sec 2 her mid year was 54..... she's getting worried.... her teacher even wrote something on her report book


She managed to get into a JC later... even though half of her L1R5 came from her english language.... *phew*

her GP teacher in JC was really good and she actually got a B4 for her general paper and made it to NTU and doesnt have to do the english proficiency module...*so happy*

Being a pear last time, I always felt tat I'm stupid.... but I feel tat it's really because I have no idea wat my teacher is talking abt half the time... really struggle alot with my english...then never mind, I even went to the "ang mo" JC, ACJC, got labelled as being "chee na" by some insensitive ppl and felt like I'm 2nd class. (dun mistaken me, there's many nice ppl in ac, juz tat sometimes some ppl thought tat english come naturally for everyone...but tat's not true for me)

I'm usually very quiet around ppl who speaks mainly english cuz I scare to say something stupid.... then this guy actually came to me and told me "You look like those people who dun have a bright future" probably cuz I was very quiet when ppl are chit chatting away...

BUt seriously, I think I should be proud of myself tat I can speak my mother tongue well, nothing be be embarrass abt.

I sometimes feel tat it's so unfair that so much emphasis was placed on the english language.... not being good in english means stupid and 2nd class...sigh....but I'm glad tat I no longer feel so now... over the years my skin grew thicker and ppl can laugh all they want abt my english because...

I dun care!

I also think I dun have tat much prob with my english now though but I still think my english is terrible cuz of wat happened to me when I was younger....

Orh.... why I suddenly write abt this?

cuz I got a new belt and it has a pear logo on it...


My new pear Belt!!!

What specs shd I get??

1 May is coming!!!

Means $$$$ is coming.... my progress package...wahahaha

First on my shopping list will be a new specs!!! heehee...havent decide wat specs I want....oval shape? rectanglar? blue? pink??






any suggestions? heehee....

Interview....

Just had an interview......

It was a rather unpleasant experience...

We are judged based on our results... how many As.... how many stars behind your As...

First question I got "So first class or second class"

In my head "NO CLASS DAMMIT!" haha

So if I'm dun get 1st or 2nd I'm not human and dun deserve to live on earth issit?

okie, I know it's my fault for not working hard in my yr 1 to 3......in fact, I be very honest here.... I hardly go school at all in those years....

Never go lecture never go tutorial.... exam coming then borrow tutorial ans, print notes and read and try to understand wat was taught for the last 3 months in 2 weeks! I was even called to see one of my prof cuz he realise I dun go lesson at all....thought I die liao, get into trouble....he was being nice, juz wanted to know if I had difficulty(he actually asked if I had problem with drug!! I ask him "do I look like a drug addict to you")... yah I had difficulty coming to sch and waking up in the morning

Anyway, after the interview I felt so discouraged, I'm having my last paper Quality Control tmr and I still havent finish studying. I felt tat doin well this sem wont do any good, I'm already judged by my results even before I graduate. Silly to think tat way but really discouraged ma.... but good that I have friends and cousin to talk to.... feel better le...

Somehow I think I actually got something out this interview....not a job but something valuable....some thoughts and reflections

My results were rather pathetic in yr1 to yr 3....all Cs and Ds, failed 3 subs in the past but cleared them all. I had to do this module Strength of Materials 3 times, got F twice and B when I clear it last sem. I hated most of my subjects in yr 1 and 2, electronics and dynamics are NOT materials eng sub!!!...Only last semester my results were slightly better, mostly Bs and even got A- for my law module!! I'm expecting average B or slightly better for my exam this sem... Why the suddenly change of grades? No I didnt become cleverer.... I juz decided to go for lesson and be a student lor... not exactly the hardworking kind la.... I still skip lecture and tutorial abit here and there and never do tutorial but at least I know wat my modules are abt, got study abit abit lor. Effort made were paid off.... and I start to regret abt my earlier years in uni. Now I have to bring all my results to look for a job, I'm embarrass when ppl ask me for my transcript...questions and comments like "how come all Cs and Ds", "wa you fail this ah", "results not very good hur" etc are sure to come....

I felt humiliated and regretful but I've decided these are not wat I shd be feeling.

Those results are in the past, I did pretty okie in my last year. I changed, I learnt to be more responsible abt my work, I learnt to drag myself to sch everyday, I grew to be more independent. Failure in the past doesnt equate to failure in the future, you fail when you stop trying....tat's why I shd study hard for tmr's paper!!!

Think how many major setback successful people have to go thru.... I shouldnt let my past failure stop me from trying to achieve wat I want to.

I'm not afraid to say tat engineering is not wat I'm really interested in. I'm in it
Cuz it's my parents' wish to see my graduating from a local uni, so this is the least I can do to fulfil their wish.

After that I can try to pursue something I'm more interested in? Hopefully la, still got tuition loan to pay neh....haizz....

You know you can never be good enough...nobody can.... why feel bad for being human?

I is CUTE....

Was called ugly baby but actually not ugly la...quite cute ma....rite?

Kids have much bigger head to body ratio than adults

I AM CUTE okie!!!

The Evil SCGS Girl by The Student's Sketchpad

Found this blog The Student's Sketchpad .... very entertaining....

this "The Evil SCGS Girl" is from the blog, I'm from a neighbourhood secondary sch so I dunno wat's the deal with students from the elite sch la...only hear abit this and that when I went to ACJC, my ACS guy friends told me they have rank the girls from different gers sch according to looks, if I rememeber correctly, MGS is ranked first and I shant mention which two are the last.

I dunno why but I realise gers from ger sch hug alot, when I went ac, some of them will come and hug me when they see me... I feel very weird.... abit lesian-ish.... I not use to it.... I always feel abit out of place in jc sometimes...those two years are a blur, only remember kena tortured by xcountry coach and my physics nightmare tutor!!

I've got one more paper to go but I'm behaving as if exam's over...heehee

okie, later!!!

WANRING: Super long and meaningless entry.....

Today's my Advance Biomaterial paper.... I had 4 days to study....I thought I had more than enough time to memorise wat I need to.....

but I was wrong.... this paper is sectioned into 3 parts, the last part was so much!!! I read the notes over and over again for the first 2 days....but I realise I didnt memorise them, although I understood them...then I panic, so third day, I started memorising slide by slide..... goodness..literally memorising everything!!!

Down right to wat chemicals were used in the simulated body fluid and exactly how much wt% and mole% for each chemical and their order!!! I think I lost it man.... I cram so much crap inside my brain...I thought my poor brain is going to burst....

Only started studying the other 2 sections on the 4th day.... sigh....
Didnt finish wat I wanted to do....was so sian, thought my paper gone le la....

Then went to the exam hall, my seat is ALL the way back of the huge hall, then when I sat down, I realise I didnt bring my calculator in with me, so I went out to take... couldnt find it in my bag...then it struck me tat I didnt bring!!

So I went in and ask the invigilators if they got a calculator to lend me...nope... sigh... no choice have to do exam without calculator...then jojo saw me come back and ask why? told her I no calculator then she say she has an extra one in her bag...so I ran out of the hall to take it and sat down...so heng hur

but later on I realise I actually have my calculator in my bag..... it's juz so me... stupid things always happen to me...

okie...abt the paper......MAN I feel SO SO SO CHEATED x INFINITY

I studied really hard on the last part, it came out, no memorising needed!!!! goodness!!! I stress so much over the paper then come out like tat....haizz...but the paper is okie la....

Thursday is my nanomaterials paper.... this is the toughest subject of all my modules... after tat I'm FREE...only quality control which I have 5 days to study...

after exam can PLAY LIAO!!!

PLay wat??? eh.... also nothing to play....

go training lor, needa lose some exam weight??

FYP is coming back to haunt me after exam again... I still go presentation!! I havent do presentation for so long liao....*nervous nervous*
And I still got one GE to clear.... 1 month of study plus project plus exam...shd have taken a non examinable one....haizzz

This year is really siong.... begining of this year I had to finish my FYP, had to go training la, travel down to nus do the stupid-est experiment over and over again.... then finally handed up my report, I got loads of quizzes.... then it's exams.... after tat it's fyp presentation then GE then GE exam.... wah... how come like tat one!!!

My friend told me tat the engine students now can choose either to do the in house practical training programme during one of the holiday or go for industrial attachment and have a sem free or vice versa.......I HAVE TO GO FOR BOTH!!!

Even my sweetie (from accountancy) dun have to do FYP!!! why the juniors all so lucky one, and I have to go thru so much shit juz to get my degree!!!

And they change the subjects the students are studying too!! in my yr 1 and 2 I had to take engine subjects tat has got NOTHING to do with my engine course.... like statics, dynamics, electronics, electric circuits...I hated those subjects like mad and I had to do them!!! my juniors dun have to!!! NTU boost of a broad based learning by exposing all the engine students on different engine subjects.... all cram into 2 years.... but to be frank, ask me anything on those electric circuits again I'll be as clueless as you?? dun look around la, it's you....haha

After going thru all these engineering stuff, I end up really hating it...seriously I dun think I'm going to take up an engineering job....no way man....

I wonder wat my first real job is....career now you know...dun play play hor...

4yrs to realise I dun belong in engineering....this is NOT the case of "better late then never"....if can choose again... I think probably communication studies is more suitable for me...stupid colour-changing spoon (got conned into materials engineering because of it!!!)

Double Surprise!!

A Surpise Vist from my sweetie juz now...

And this is the surprise present he brought on his surprise visit

BAG FETISH!!!

Books

Been reading abit lately...didnt realise I can read like this...haha

Juz finished this... loved it!! Jane Green is funny..haha


currently reading this Jane Green Book

And I have 3 other books to be read...


Watched the movie, think the books shd be good too..


Another Jane Green BOOK!!! heehee


CSI!!!!!

It seems that I only read CSI and Books by Jane Green.... need more variety...
If only I read when I'm younger, I think I wont have to struggle with my english language so much in sch back then....sighzz

Better Late then Never...

**psst... I learnt bad words from jane green books leh...

Exams Pimples Specs

Exam period....

Stressed face, bags under the eyes, pimples...

It's really a pathetic sight when I see myself in the mirror. Not that I'm studying that hard.... but it's amazing how stress can change how you look...

I hate pimples!!! I'm already going to be 23 and I still have pimples!!! What's wrong with me man....

Enough of them.... I gotta go something abt it...

BUt then again, it's probably cuz I dun take care of my skin at all...

hmmm...Let's see,

I dun put sunblock when I go under the sun for LONG hours then get burnt... and I'm under the sun alot... lifeguard training, biathlon training....

Eh, I only use a normal $4++ facial wash my mum bought for the whole family... no toner no moisturiser after that....heehee

whoa, and I LOVE to squeeze pimples!!! hahaha

Maybe my face is like that cuz I'm such cheapo, lazy and itchy hands...sighzzz...

So I went to read abit on pimples and adult acne...

Am I glad to know that it is little to do with diet....*phew* jenny here eats oily fried junk like nobody business... haha

Of the reasons stated, I think it's probably excessive dehydration and stress that cause my pimples.... do you know some ppl say stress pimples are those around the jaws and those on your forehead are usually cause by excess sebum secreted by your face.... hmph.... my forehead is clear....so stress is the culprit!!!

And I hardly drink water.... they always say need 8cups of water.... if I drink 2 cup is alot.... I think I get my fluids from sweet drinks and soup... I hardly eat fruits at all.... I got a very unhealthy diet....bleah...

I think it;s kinda funny, when you are stress, you get pimples, then you see pimples coming out, you get more stress then more pimples and then more pimples you get even more stress then...... you get the pic right....

So I decided to get some better facial wash and moisturiser...went down to watson but I didnt know wat to buy. Took a long time there and end up with a new facial wash, moisturiser and a anti blemhish cream from loreal... cost me abt 40 bucks.... I never spend on personal care products like this one ma... usually my M vitamins goes to bags and clothes but since my room is getting a little crowded I should spend on someting else... while I try to clear some stuff away.... heehee

talk abt spending money, I already spent like all my allowance this week... cuz of a dinner in my sec sch.... heng no sch this week, if not I really have to eat grass but I actually planned to buy my CSI season 4 VCDs this week one, looks that my VCD have to wait.... Dear dear always say I spend alot....*sighz* maybe la....

I'm thinking wat I shd spend on the progress package I'm getting soon, I definitely need a new pair of specs... I dunno why I always lose specs that are really nice and this ugly pair...thought I lost it a couple of times but it always found its ways back... argh... it's been stepped on, sat on and it's really out of shape....but it's still here...

I remember in my uni years, I always lost one pair of specs per semester... sigh... tat's why in dunno yr 2 or 3 I decided not to get specs... but during exam period when I have to read wordy wordy text, it's quite siong so I went to get this pair of ugly specs...and it's with me ever since

whoa, time to hit the books.... the most siong battle this week, biomaterials and nanomaterials.... I hope I can pull thru these two papers.... after tat I'm free!! left 5 days to study quality control.... it's more than enough!

** Clearing my room so thinking of giving some stuff away... will post those things up soon, anyone interested can juz ask okie? dun need to shy....

Shopping Spree anyone??

I cant believe how blur I AM!!!

I missed the acknowledge period for my GE!!!! ARgh I only have 1 more AU to fulfil!!! I want to do it quick and get over it.... **panic panic** how?!!!

Haizz, I've emailed STARS and see how la.... tat time I didnt even register but I wrote email and ask for a GE and got one....so I think shouldnt be a problem....but I'll still call the office on monday!!!

Why exam period still needa worry abt such things.... dumb leh....

Hor, anyway, I founds this japan online shopping webby.... wah, nice le.... and not as expensive as those US & UK sites... the shipping is still "manageable"




Totally love the necklaces!!! and it's necklace and bracelet set!!!! Goodie for ear-hole-less people like ME!!! Price is pretty resonable too abt 20+ to 30+ SDG not excluding shipping la... but having something tat you cant find in singapore is GOOD! I dun want to get caught wearing something everyone has (but sometimes is no choice,sighz).... wanted to buy this Birkenstock Madrid but hor tat design like everyone is wearing.... think I wont get it le, wait till 2007 one come out then I be one of the first to buy? heehee hope they have a MUCH MUCH pretty designs... PRETTIER than the 06 designs!!! bleah

An unusal adventure with my sweetie

I still havent get my laptop back......arghh... sent it for repair last MONDAY!!! anyway, I called them this morning... they open at 10am, I called at 10.04am.... first call no one answered and I called again....I dun care...hahaha....
anyway that guy told me I should be able to collect today, he say he juz got the part yesterday later will fix in for me......he better....heehee

okie.... something interesting happened yesterday, was too tired to blog last night... after training......

anyway, yesterday I was suppose to meet dear dear at 8am at boon lay to go sch to study but I really cant wake up then ask him to meet me at 8.30 but I reached at 8.45 instead. Sweetie wasnt happy with me and he made his statement with his black face.....sigh......

at first we wanted to go lib 1 to study, but on our way there, we saw nicole who told us there were no seats in the lib le so we decided to head to nie lib. But sweetie got a cut on his leg when we were abt to head there. As he was wearing jeans, I asked if he wanted to go home and change into berms.

so we went to nie lib put down our bags and went to his place. When we alighted the bus, sweetie realised he forgot his keys but he managed to get his bro to open the door for us....and he talked his bro into leaving the house door key with him.

But..... sweetie forgot and use the lock on the metal door....so we got locked in... we cant call the bro cuz his brother's phone is unrepair, he called his mum to ask if there's a spare key at home...no.... so we started asking ppl if anyone is kind enough to bring the key to us....

ppl were either too far or it is really too inconvinent for them... so we juz kept thinking wat to do..... then sweetie was saying if the internet die and both our hp also died then how...... I say then we should jump out of his house (it's only 5 storeys lor) hahahaha

sweetie was pacing around the house while I was lying lazily to try catch on some sleep, still sleepy... it was quite a sight to see him like tat...haha

In the end, nicole, the friend I could always count on, came to our rescue!! She took the keys and then took a cab down....

haha, wat an adventure....


I've been buying bags this month.... 3 in total.... goodness, I dun understand why I have such fetish for bags....but I do!!! I want to save some money to go for a short trip nearby after graduation leh....haizzz....

okie, I think I should go hit my books and hopefully I'll be later with my lappy!!!

Last Semester as a Student Sux

Went to marina square's creative shop with sweetie to send his bro's old mp3 player for repair... then on our way back, we pass thru city link...

Sweetie: Dear I want to go MPH....

Me: (laughing inside) orh, go lor, Mental People Hospital....

Cute and Crazy

Seems like I'm always "bullying" my sweetie... but he so easy to tease... cant help it...heehee

ARGHH.......

I'm having the Last-Sem crisis....

Exams in like 2 weeks time and I totally have no drive to study... wat's wrong with me? tsk tsk tsk

I can see myself blogging alot this month... cuz the amt of blogging is directly proportional to the amt of stress.... whining helps in times of stress....

I really really really want to graduate.... though I still cant see myself as a working adult la....... haizzz.......

Maybe I should go get lots of chocolate... I could use some help.....

Any kind soul want to donate to Jenny's Chocolate Fund? Right, tmr I shall go do some chocolate shopping if I ever get my butt out of the house....
