In a month's time, there are 4 assignments to be completed.
This semester is so hectic, and before long, the semester is going to be over and exams coming soon.
I dislike this kind of life. So many sleepless nights that exhaust my energy. No amount of vitamins help at this point of time.
I just want all these to end faster, for that piece of paper.
On a happier note, Mr TT is bringing me to the movie tomorrow! I just hope I can finish another assignment by tomorrow night.

Bad Day
Today was the deadline for HMT group assignment. It was the first time of having such a mad rush in group assignments.
The assignment was due by 5pm today, but we only handed in at around 7pm.
It was the first time I wanted to scream at my group mate. Yes, I have a bad temper, but I did not meet such a team member before in projects.
I believe we are mature enough to accomplish our own part. This fellow did not. There were no references at all. After spending time to help out with adding references to that person's part, it was all taken out, without even a word of thanks.
Several hours late in coming for meeting, a simple mini-biography was done at the last hour. "Lecturer say we must add bibliography, lecturer say we must add pictures, lecturer say this, this, this......" Then?
No work was done by that fellow. You are not a manager, so don't try to delegate work. I have doubts on the fellow's abilities as even a simple cover page needed an hour before it's done in a lousy format.
This is the first and last time ever to team with such a person.
Sometimes, judging a person by his appearance is very important.

Need More Time!!
Blogging at late hours again, where others are sleeping.
Seriously, I need and want to sleep too!
Napped awhile from 12am - 1.45am, before forcing myself out of bed, just to prepare for project submission on Thursday. This semester has been like this since mid-July. It's all about starting assignments/projects, researching, thinking, doing, etc.
Of course, with so many different project groups, there are bound to be interaction with different kinds of people. At this age, we are expected to generally respect group members.
I can say I have done that part of mine well. I don't do any funny thing to my group mates, only complaining about certain people to Mr TT. But there is a limit to everything. Just 4 more days of endurance and it'll be accomplished.
All those mentioned above are actually just targeted at one incident. Have you ever received 16 missed calls from someone who is not your parent? Frankly, I do not understand the need for so many phone calls, when it is not related to project at all. If I failed to answer the first few phone calls, I am obviously NOT FREE to answer the calls! And for those who know me, I have a bad habit of missing phone calls, checking smses late, replying late, or even forgotten whether I replied the sms or not.
After the 16 missed calls from the night before and early hours in the morning while I am still asleep, I finally woke to call back. I thought it was something that was bloody important, but it was just calling to ask if I were attending the day's lecture. =.=
If I were attending lecture, how to answer phone calls?!?!?! Common sense not to call during lecture, let alone bombing my phone during lecture time! I nearly screamed to the other end of the line, but I do not throw temper at someone whom I don't regard as friend.
Sunday was another good example. My phone was bombed with many many many missed calls again. I am not standing by my phone 24/7 alright! I have my other commitments and schoolwork to do too! Even my mum don't call so many times, as she will get irritated with having to call so many times.
Probably I was wrong to miss the phone calls and did not respect the caller, but I hope to get some bit of respect of stop trying to call me so many times, I do have caller-id and WILL GET BACK TO YOU. If I don't, it means I am ready to burn you down through the phone!
I don't care who reads this, because I know those who do, are not doing this.
Thank you very much, blog, for giving me a space to rant and vent.
Back to projects~

Farewell for Chen Yu
If there is an award for ineffective people, I think I probably will get one. I am so slow in updating blogs and almost as slow in producing assignments/projects. =X My school work are done quite on time, due to the fact that I will get penalised for late submission. But in updating of blogs, I still have folders of pictures due months back which I am lazy to post. =S
Anyway, this post is for the farewell gathering the Lyes' had last saturday.
It was with the usual gang, except that WY had something on and could not join us for dinner.
As usual, it was mos burger at taka for lunch, followed by a visit to kino book store.
It has always been our routine for so many years. (Even though I did not attend some gatherings last year).
We bumped into WY and HuiLing at kino too. Nice seeing HL after not seeing her for almost 3 yrs?
We spent an hour or two at kino and walked around aimlessly after that. Due to the fact that Rachel & I had to leave early, we went for early dinner at Din Tai Fung.
Not sure what they doing
YiLin & Rachel
Us gals
Debating what to order
The guys
Ginger in vinegar
Although the ginger is supposed to be consumed together with xiao long bao, but I always hated it ever since I tasted it with mum years ago. >.<
Hot & Sour soup
The soup was quite a disappointment, lack of both elements stated on the menu. First and last time trying it.
Xiao Long Bao
As can see, the famous dish of the restuarant. It tasted like xlb, and I've got nothing bad to say about it. It tasted good but definitely can be better, compared to those found in HK & China.
Our table full of food!
Steamed prawn dumpling
The dumpling tasted quite good, with crunchy prawn inside. That's how it should be like!! =)
Chilli crab xlb
Skipped that dish, cos did not like crabs. But it looks nice~
Finished dinner and Rachel left. So the only group photo that day was w/o Rachel and WanYi. But it didn't matter, cos we've had lots of group photos since JC times. =)
I left shortly after that for dinner with family. I think they went for movie too.
It was an enjoyable gathering, I hoped ChenYu enjoyed it too. I don't know when will be the next time we'll have a full group outing again, since CY will be leaving to New York for further education.
CY probably won't see this, but I still wish him all the best in his studies and am really glad to have known him in JC! =)

???
Aunt passed away yesterday. That leaves my mummy with only 1 brother left, out of several siblings.
I am not very close to her, but she was always nice to me.
Mummy requested for me not to attend lecture on friday, so that I can send her off. Though I am always glad to have excuses not to attend lectures, but this time I am not keen to skip Buyer Behavior class.
Old as I may be, but when I have to choose in such situations, I still wish someone can tell me what to do. I already set my priorities right, so should I mess it up again this semester?
Confusion.

More TVB Series
The most awaited TVB series "Heart of Greed 2" is out already. Not too sure whether is that their title or not.
Last year, I watched the part 1 when not many Singaporeans talked about it. I think part 1 was "hot" only in recent months since SCV aired the show, when the show was 1 year ago's product. Had been anticipating part 2 to be out for so long, but now that it's airing, I have no time to watch. I can only wait for the DVDs to be out for rental.
Sighz.
I am already 4 TVB series behind time! (Including the ones airing now in HK)
There's simply too many readings and projects and assignments to be done this semester. I felt like I am never going to pass this semester. There's many folders of pictures to be posted, but I do not have much time. Photos dated 1 year ago were still not yet published! =.=
Not much nonsense to talk about this time, shall end post here.
