:(
I'm going to bake today to cheer meself up.



[running around feeling:
nerdy]
on a wet, cold and gloomy day,
this is just what i need (:
and yes, you know it,
a bowl of hot kimchi soup beats any posh restaurant <3
i'm still craving for my toffee-nut latte,
and XLB come quickly please.
today saw the last day of school for my 1st semester as a year 3,
and yet again we lament on how time passes us by.
and on this last day,
i've learnt a painful lesson.
it's not about complaining, pushing the blame to the class structure,
thinking you're just unlucky to get yours graded by the prof himself,
nor telling yourself you just don't like this,
i need,
to take responsibility.
i didn't cover my research thoroughly enough,
and for someone who is so well-versed with the literature,
the errors are just so salient they can't be ignored.
50%, learn, accept, and now, WORK.
it may just be a rut,
but i'm not giving up.
and for this sem, there are a few people/things i really must be thankful for:
1. my fruit family - patty, sanjie, kli, jazzy (:
i'm glad i got to meet you people more, and for accepting all my flaws & absence,
thank you.
2. jurie row
sadly ritchell couldn't be with us, but dear julie, thank you for all your advice as a senior,
and for being the awesomest fellow EL classmate (:
3. lau ying
a new found friend, who's tided me over random 1-hr breaks on friday evenings,
making what i dislike a lot more bearable (:
4. cooperative groupmates
for the many many projects and reports,
thank goodness i had great people to work with.
and yes, that includes you, zhijun (:
5. everyone who wished me happy birthday, & spent my birthday with me
just because it really meant alot to me, and it happened within this semester,
thank you (:
6. my dslite & new ipod touch
that kept me entertained when i didn't feel like doing work,
keeping me happy (:
7. my ever supportive family <3
and
8. my ever-loving boyfriend (:
thank you.
taken day 30, michigan'09 - outside 1021 east uni.
i will,
take this lesson and move forward.
today, 13th november,
also marks the birthday of my treasured red-half (:
so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MABES,
i hope you enjoyed our little surprise <3
tomorrow will be KIDDY DAY for JURIE ROW!
it's time to get back in touch with our childhood innocence (:

:) Yesterday might be one of the awesomest day of my life over here! Hahah, I have been going to the gym and I have noticed this cutie during my workout sessions there. It was kinda obvious we were checking each other out because he would look in my direction and smile. I never had the chance to talk to him previously because everytime he looks in my direction I am always running on the treadmill.
So yesterday, we saw each other at the gym again. He flashed me a smile while I was running and it was a great motivation for me. :D we happened to do our stretching/ mat exercises at the same time and we were facing each other and we smiled at each other. and as I was returning some equipment, he struck up a conversation!! Hahaha :) seems like he noticed that I have been going to the gym and I found out he's from brisbane and he's studying at the other campus.
So... Hopefully the next time I see him, I will be able to find out more about him, and that we will hang out some time outside the gym! Hahaha :)

This may sound utterly superficial but prison officers are really good looking. At least a group of those whom I saw today. Ha!
On a more serious note. Looking at the cell of prisoners today shook me up a tad. They were all serving long sentences. And with > 6 strokes of the cane. They were asked to face the wall when officers like ourselves walked passed. Really, I hope our boys were shaken up too and not reoffend, ever again.
