Turn the snooze on!

I think the number of hours of sleep i get, comparing secondary school and now, has become worse! I usually go to bed around 1 or 2 and wake up at 5.30 to get ready and get to school by 8.40am. i end up going to school yawning continiously. This morning, i woke up at 5.45am but was not feeling too good. i was having a bad headache and was not in fit state to do anything. I went back to sleep at around 7.30 with my air-con blasting at my face and fell asleep straight away. I only woke up around noon because my phone was ringing. So i got up, had another shower and had Lunch before getting on the computer and sending an email to my facilitator indicating the reason for my absense. But truth be told, i was feeling 1000times better than i was just the day before! I think sleep was what i was really lacking. I should consider doing this more often!

Saturdays and sundays are a bust! so no point trying to wake up late either. cause there will be something or another that lands up in my schedule early in the morning, making me wake up around 7 or so. maybe i should consider blocking out my sunday mornings for this. Chances of me cancelling appointments on sundays are higher compared to saturday.

Anyways, this is all i have for today. Lets see what tomorrow has install. Its maths and i'm seriously wondering what i'm going to do. Maybe i'll kill some time by blogging.

What ever happened to it?

Nudges, shuffling and bumping are just some of the things that i experience when i get on or off the train every morning. The last time i remembered, people were suppose to show courtesy and wait for the people on the train to alight before those on the platform get on. However, this is no longer the case. Everyone moves all at once. The people on the platform dont wait for the people on the train to get down and because of this, the people on the train have to SQUEEZE their way out in order to get out. There are even times when people who are pushing prams, have to shout their way out because of the rushing crowd.Yes, Shout. Its ridicillious! Its due to some people that it has become a social norm to do such things and be ignorant of courtesy. So the question now is, what happened to courtesy? Lost to social norms? You decide

Is Friday the 13th wrongly dated?

It should be called tuesday the 16th. Today has got to be the worst day i've had in school for a VERY VERY VERY long time. And i really cant stress the word very because i've actually been enjoying school since first semester and have not been having any problems like this before. The problem with today is simple. I started the day off by waking up late because i was dead tired after sleeping late and getting up early for the past few days. So by the time i finally managed to get out of bed and into the shower and then finally into the MRT, woodlands bound, it was almost 8.15-8.20. A record for me. But the suprising bit was that i managed to get to Woodlands by around 8.40.

The Queue for 902 was long as usual. Nothing suprising there. The Queue was moving unreasonabaly slower today though and at one point, i saw Zuhrah go into the 169 queue and it was then that i was so tempted to change lines. but i didnt. So 169 came and went, and by the time i finally managed to get on 902, it was almost 8.55. 5 minutes more and class would start. It was probably the lastest so far. i got to class at 9.02am and it was then that my facilitator was taking attendence. i thought i was safe and that she would mark me present instead of late, which would result in a 0.5 deduction of my daily grade. Almost towards the end of the lesson when i looked at the grades portion of LEO (my school site for us to download the problem for the day), i noticed that i was marked late. I have never, and let me emphasise on that word again, NEVER been late for class till now. And i was not plannin on letting one small thing like this spoil my grades. So i asked my facilitator if she could change the attendance since it was only 2 minutes late. she agreed.

A few minutes later, she informed me that it was not possible because of some reason which i was not bothered to hear and i know it was just an excuse. I'm just hoping that she does change it as i dont want to get any red marks on my grades just becuase i was late, and it was only 2 minutes late! i mean, COME ON! ARE YOU THAT STRICT?

Putting that aside, the next thing that "made my day" was that my ear piece broke while i was boarding the bus back to the MRT station. It snapped clearly into half and can be used no more. I had to go down to causeway point to get a new one, which cost me about 18bucks and its nothing fantastic. Oh! and i forgot to include this part. My presentation today was out of point for almost half of it. Only my slide and wee ling's slide managed to link. Frankly, i thought the presentation covered a wide scale and even steph's part of COM was relevant. but what can be said anymore? Whats done is done. All i can do now is wait and see what becomes of my grade for todaay and hopefully, wake up and get ready for school in time.

Truely a bad luck day. have to stay positive that tomorrow will be a good one. (fingers crossed on that)

Missing In Action

Yes, yes, i know! Its been almost 20 plus days since i last posted an entry. But as i stated when starting this blog, i wont have much time to write often as i would be busy with school etc. I'm typing this entry before the intended event to write about, becomes too far back. The event i'm talking about here, is paul's birthday suprise.

It was a last minute thing even though i had the idea hours before launching it and was contemplating how it would be done. The general idea was to suprise paul. I had already informed him to meet me for dinner. The venue was unconfirmed, but the time and date, was. I contacted amalina and sirithai and asked them for their opinions as well as Qais opinion. It was decided that we, Meaning Qais, amalina, Sirithai and myself, would meet at hougang point where i followed Zhen Yu to go get self relighting candles from a party shop there and then headed off to amalina's place where we would get the cake before shooting off to pauls place. Zhen Yu left us at Hougang point as she had other things to do. Amalina claimed that it was only a 10 minute walk from hougang point to her place. BULLSHIT MAN! It was 15 minutes long! Maybe even 20. Must check that out with Qais or thai.

So anyway, when we arrived under Amalina's blog, we found the bakery where we were suppose to get the cake from, to be closed. That was a nice walk followed by a nice supirse eh? I'm being scarstic here by the way. So after running around the area, we finally managed to find a cake shop and got the cake (Marble Cheese Cake) Before sprinting off to paul's place as he was beginning to whine abou having to wait so long. Under his block, a dingy place, courtesy of amalina's good selection, we got the cake out along with pauls present and the relighting candles. His present by the way, was a clown hat. check the picture attached for a better picture.

I went up to pauls house and got a plastic bag wrapped around his eyes ( i didnt have an actual blind fold with me. Had to improvise) And brought him down. i got him to remove the blind fold and scared the living daylights out of him. As he tried blowing out the candles (which caused a mess on the cake because it was melting too fast due to the extensieve heat) he gave up trying as they would keep relighting and we (qais and i) has to extinguish the flames using water. After cutting the cake and eating it, we played with some crazy spray/string or what every you call it and then some glow sticks before finally heading off to Macs near pauls house and had dinner and then we were off.

Thats about all i can write for now seeing as i have to get ready for lesson which starts in 3 minutes.


OH! and with regards to my previous post, i shall not be updating my friendster page till i hit a certain number of friends. It hardly seems the point when i hardly check it or add people etc. So i'll keep blogging even if i dont update my friendster profile.

Over and out
