***

thanks for the present!! very thoughtful :))


wow so fast and its 1 wk+ since i last blogged =x its been a reeeaaalll busy week with all the proj meetings for cog ppt and attempts (though not very successful ones) to keep up with my readings. i swear the author of abnormal psy tb is CRAZY. 'nuff said.

last wk was also de final week for band before we break off for exams. well, gd tt i finally haf wed nites and sat-DAYS off so i can slp bit more and haf more time to study. but bad cos i noe i wont reli be touching my flute these few wks =x and not to mention my poor guitar which has been standing der alone for so long....

but im sure exams will be over in a jiffy and i'll be showering my love on them once more :)) yesyes. i taste the hols coming!!

but anyhoo, highlight of this past week was definitely the trip to imh (institute of mental health). it was seriously a nice experience and we did learn quite a lot of stuff. and of cos, to throw away the stereotypes of wad ppl usually think imh is (as a siao lang geng) and to learn more abt de positive programs they're having.

when the bus turned into the place we reli thought it was a chalet. lols YES it looks totally chalet-like lah! not white and still lke most of us imagine it to be.. haha. and it did surprise us to see a branch of secret recipe there.. which we later found out was operated by patients who've almost recovered to help them get in touch with working again. quite nice :)

anddd der was this clinical psychologist who gave a talk. she's really inspiring and motivating! she really was able to make the connection with us and we cld feel her passion for the job as well as all the emotional satisfaction she gained from helping patients recover. the talk was so motivating and gave us so much insight on wad being a clinical psychologist is like, tt i really felt like psychology's THE course for me and tt i reli wanna go into this field next time. well, provided i get my 1st class hons and move on to masters lah.. but damn where do i find the money???? sucks that singapore doesnt offer psy postgrad courses BUT she mentioned tt nus's coming up with some masters course which involves 1 year local and another year in unimelb. oooooooooo maybe it'll be initiated just in time for our batch :D

haha ok lotsa daydreaming there. im not tt rich and neither am i very near the reach of 1st class... but still, its a goal i'll work towards :D

and der was another thing tt was reli nice! we were brought to the rehabilitation wards and the tour was actually hosted by a patient. its reli kinda heartwarming to see patients who can recover so well after suffering from a mental disorder, and even be able to host talks and all tt. heard tt she'll be "graduating" from the 8-week rehab course the next day! and i guess we all felt happy for her :) hope she'll stay well or be even better! :D

so yeah, imh trip was a gd experience. sometimes i reli think such things are 10 times better than in-house lectures which just tell us wad is this and wad is that. the experience itself is reli much more enriching. ntu pls organise more such trips in future!!!

yup and so the trip's over. so is cog ppt :)) its reli reli one huge thing down (but got 1 more to go haix) and im finally one step closer to proper revision. all these revision "impedances" are just so din tei u noe >=(

but gd thing is tt at least i haf my sunshine frens arnd me :D was talking to deborah abt the whole list of things we're gonna do tgt after exams and it was alr destressing to think of tt. haha yeah mann im totally looking forward to hols! i can SHOP can EAT can GO VACATION can SLEEP!!!! woots. exams faster go away!!!


RAHHHHHHHH music kills too. sometimes. :(

i swear my myopia has increased from reading all those articles on acoustics and filtering out those info i need for the presentation.

and i just rmbred i haven decided on my essay topic.... T_T

ARGHH can someone just kill me so i dun hafta take exams???

anw, pizza dinner with peiwen and jun ytd! woots pizza rocks. haha first time tried super supreme... not bad. got olives :D everything wld've been nice had it not been for the "full hse" thing and the lack of desserts for ahwen.. so weird lahh they told us to leave our hp no. and said they'll call us when there're seats. gd thing we went back after loitering arnd arcade watching ppl play timecrisis4 cos we realised they accidentally cancelled off our no on the list (so how are they gonna call??) AND it turns out its reli not full-hse; so many empty tables inside!! grrr. made us wait for nth. hungry u noe!! >=(

but anw de food was ok :)) so was the company~ haha quite de-stressing to lame again. sch has nth but stressssss now :(

okok enuff of emotion-focused coping. problem-focused coping shld still be central. im gone~


okayy its been almost 3 full days of slacking and no studying so its TIME for me to mug hard again.

but argh once de momentum is disrupted tts it u noe... :( i feel lke sleepinggggggg.

anyhoo, fri was another suuuper long day cos of our dear 10pm proj meeting =/ but at least this time round it was quite fruitful and we can finally start on our own stuff proper. which means we're moving closer to the completion of the project muahahaha!!

=x

aiyah but its reli a nice thought waadd seeing as we've got SOO many things to do.. and i just realised psy asg3 will be up coming thurs which is OMGGGGG can they just STOP adding things to our to-do-lists???? :((((

i seriously, seriously, seriously, cannot wait for this sem to be over. seriously.

anyhoo, on a happier note (apparently im reeaally happy these 3 days cos stupid abnormal test is over), celebrated ahwen's birdday ytd! :D yeahhh KUISHINBO buffet rocks. but i think its mainly cos we're totally hungry ghosts after queueing for 1hr outside so wadever's on the table and are edible are automatically classified under "fantastic". no doubts bout tt ;)

annnnnd some hth talk during dinner.. which kinda reflects sth reli "20-yr-old" (although im not yet der but haix ok lah i admit im ALMOST der :( ). but anw, just hope de 3 of us will remain/will be happy happy yah! :D nth and i mean NOTHING beats frenship! which explains our "engagement"....



... to each other.
lol yes our 定情之物~~
nice hor :D

stuffed ourselves real full ytd. well maybe with exception to gina cos her appetite isnt vry gd recently :( take care ok!! im sure everything'll go back to normal after exams. its the damn exams i tell u. haha and when we meet up again next time.. we gotta make sure THAT MICHELLE turns up too!! haha but anw, hope peiwen enjoyed the mini celebration ytd!! *i noe she did~~* lols. happy twentieth birthday my sweetest pal :)) be very happy and stay pretty always!




im supposed to slp!! but rahh just had the urge to blog before i go.. haha :P

had another nice conv with dearr jingxiuuuu :) she din sound tt gd near the start but i reli hope my crap and rubbish made her a lil happier! haa im lke gd at nth else =x but anw if u're reading this, hope u'll feel loads better real soon!! i noe i said i went to slp alr but really really can call me during ANY hr if u wanna talk ok?? im willing to be woken up!! also trains me for emergencies lke fire or earthquake in the middle of the night and the sorts :) tmr will be a brighter day!! *presents sunflower* and with tt i predict tt u'll be tons tons happier abt the 30th day from now :))) smile ok!!!
