goshhh, it's already 6pm !
funny how time doesn't pass this quickly when i'm working on a saturday ...

hasn't really been a productive day, but it was great!
spent the entire day sitting on a beanbag watching Gilmore Girls on dvd with lynne, while munching on chips. that is the life !

anyhoo,
Cocktail was SO good last night :D
i have to admit it was much better than last year, mostly cos the crowd was more spread out so it wasn't too packed all the time. there were a few things that didn't quite go to plan, but on the whole it was a successful night !
apparently our dance was good, so i think all our hard work paid off :)
quite glad about it all cos everyone was really stressed about it the whole week.
it was just really nice to club with everyone again!! oh, it was a good night.

i guess now that Cocktail's over, it means it's time for serious study ... sigh. i've really been dreading this !!!!

i know i said i didnt have photos before, but then i remembered that there were some from lynette's graduation ...


outside the house


mum was very obsessed with the columns ...


mum, nette & auntie


nette & stu




heh heh. her mug shots.


this photo was meant to capture Winthrop Hall, that's why we are so small. (rhymes!)


keep telling myself that i have to be less lazy & go to all my classes. after Cocktail, it's time to get serious about study and what not. haven't been motivated to do assignments/study/go to class - this is very bad. i guess i've always been the type to do assignments at nearly the last minute and it usually works out well, or maybe i've just been lucky!

i get paid tmr! wooo!
havent gone on a shopping spree in a while so i'm very proud of myself :)
saving money = good

went to watch The Woman in Black today with grace and it was a really good play !!! didn't think it was gonna be that scary though. at least i had the head of this severely obesed woman to block my view when i couldn't bring myself to watch. (i'm not being mean, she really was large! spilling out of her chair and all...)

apologies for not updating much, but i haven't had the inspiration to write anything that's remotely interesting. i don't even have photos to post! boohoo, how sad.

hmm anywayyyy,
i'm quite glad that i'm not working this week! looking forward to not doing anything on saturday & recovering from Cocktail :D

the end of september is fast approaching, and that means the deadlines for my essays are approaching too. arghh, gotta start looking for books. i don't really like looking for books in the Reid library cos i never know where to find the ones i want ...

going for a wax on wednesday !!!!
rather excited about it ... heh heh.

okae !
i go now.

I'M SO EXCITED !!
went to the travel agent this morning to confirm my flight to china :) haven't booked it yet, just reserved a spot.

i'll be in singapore from dec 3rd to 8th !!!
and then leaving for shanghai on the 8th, then taking a train from shanghai to hangzhou.
it's all OHH SO EXCITING !!

today has been a pretty good day ...
julie lent me her old phone so now i am contactable :D
it's so inconvenient to not have a phone, haha.

okae really hungry so gonna find something to eat!

please please please, don't forget to

it went by so fast, i don't even think i did anything productive all week.

on a happier note,
i'm pretty darn excited about ASIA Cocktail ! just less than 2 weeks left, it's so close! but everything seems to be coming together, finally :)

oh and some photos from msu ball :


with our favourite, keegan!




a sort-of surprise photo. it looks like i have a bung eye!


the ball crashers, minus alice (the one in white) who just wanted to be in the photo.

OK that is all, children!

my feet are KILLING me !!
those shoes i got from ebay squash my poor toes ... which is very unfortunate because they're the cutest pair of shoes.

ended up crashing the MSU ball last night, which made it all the more enjoyable! haha. it was a good night & it was such an adventure getting in. overall, it was a night full of drama and intoxicated people.

just got back from work, which was not so enjoyable.
today had to be the day where all the stupid people were out in force ! i also don't really understand why asian people are obsessed with plastic bags ... always asking for so many when they don't even have that many items. or asking for everything to be double-bagged. GOSH!! felt like throwing potatoes at them all.

this one lady kept apologising cos she wanted everything double-bagged. after which she was nagging about how she didn't want her bloody vegetables to be squashed.
"don't squash my mushrooms ah ... can put the more fragile things in this bag ... i don't like my mushrooms to be squashed" BLAH BLAH BLAH.
it's not like i don't know how to pack groceries properly !!

stupid people everywhere, i hope tmr's day of work is not so irritating.

technology can be such a bitch.
trying to print something but it won't print properly !
typical ... at a time that i really want it to work, it doesn't.

i got the bursary to study in China for 2 months !!!!

haven't had a good day like this in AGES :)

what a fruitful & fun-filled day :D
went to Claremont with grace for the first time, and it was quite lovely. walked around and it didn't even rain, it was just nice and cool.
had cake and coffee at Dome after - their strawberry shortcake slice is delightful :)

at Dome, there were two indo guys sitting at a table nearby and one of them had this leg up on the chair. he was also wearing those indo slippers and looked pretty out of place, considering Claremont is quite a nice area. and he sat there like that, jabbering in both english and bahasa the entire time ... ughh.

it doesn't even feel like a friday, feels very much like a saturday.
ALSO, i'm really really happy today ... managed to find some nice cheapish stuff, my bag from the States arrived today (:D), it's the start of the week break and i found juice !!

and i really want to wear dresses ...

YAY!!
i have finished my op-ed essay that's due tmr :D
feeling very happy and carefree at the mo' ...
although i do actually have more assignments due after the break. but i will deal with them soonish.

tra la la, we get a week break. i am SO glad.

what are the chances that someone else has a similar-sounding name to you?
i got an sms from this girl called Susan at about 7.45am, saying:
"Hey Linda you gona cum today? Gimme prank wen u get here n il sms u the room number."

Since it was so early in the morning, i couldn't for the life of me remember whether i actually had to be somewhere today. And also, i don't even know anyone who types that way ...
Just in case i was actually meant to be somewhere, i replied by saying that i didn't think i would be able to go because of assignments that i have to complete.

To which the reply was:
"I thought we were meetin up? Like every wed. But if you have ass dw."
I guessed that by 'ass' she meant 'assignment' and i still couldn't figure out who this susan was. I think i made her upset by saying that i didn't recall us having to meet up on a wednesday.

she said:
"Linda Tu! We meet every wed!"

HAHAHAHAH
i just couldn't handle it anymore. She thought i was Linda Tu, a name that sort of rhymes with Lynda Loo. heh heh.
ended up msging back saying that she got the wrong person.

after all that, i remembered who this susan was - one of tina's pharmacy friends whom i met ages ago and haven't really seen since last year.

grr. took me so long to log into here cos everything's changed. it refused to let me log in with my old blogger account and kept redirecting me to a sign-in with my gmail log-in. GRRRR!!
anyhoo!

slightly annoyed that on the one saturday night i chose to stay home to devote to doing my assignment, practically everyone seems to be out & about.
i don't mind going out but at the same time i feel so lazy and my feet hurt quite a bit. i think the only type of activity i don't mind is the sit-down-and-have-a-coffee-or-tea kind.

oh me, oh my.
i have decided that i will just be a hermit tonight - just my cup of tea & me :)

damn you, phonemic transcriptions & analysis !!

i gots some photos !
