One week gone since sch reopen. I was super happy today because apparently the morning class i had today was placed wrongly in the timetable so basically no lesson from 9-10am then came our professional development whereby we did a short introduction about our 4th year project then our lecturer said there will be no lessons until she tell us there is. For the afternoon class we had to either choose tues or fri slot so lucky me got the tues slot. So woohoo it means fri no lessons at all awesome!!! Had quite a nice CNY because me and May cooked up alot of dishes for our own CNY dinner on mon. Ana went home on sun and Maria moved out so we had like new

flatmates. One was from Hong Kong and the other from France.

In the afternoon after I came back from class had a nice long nap from 2pm to about 5pm and Maria messaged me about her mirror left in my room. I helped her to bring it to her flat and went Aldi for a little shopping. Came back for dinner and had a great nice long chat with May as usual, we just went on and on chatting non-stop.

The long chat really brings me to think about how amazing it is for 2 girls from 2 totally different country at both ends of the world to be so similar yet so different at the same time. We had like very similar ways of thinking about things and solving various situations but yet we have totally opposite personality. May admits that she is a super pessimistic person with all the things she faced at home and having some situations similar to her I am yet a really optimistic person. May will think on bad sides of things and tend to smile less while i always look at brighter side of things and smile all the time. She told me today that her sister who visit our flat quite often is curious as to why am I always so smiley and would like to know how i will look like when i'm down. May also admitted to me that she is really envy (on the good side) of me for being able to smile all the time despite so many things in life. I guess its one of my philosophy to smile and laugh more in your life because life's short, you never know whats going to happen every minute of your life so why let all those miserable things stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest. When you keep thinking about the bad stuff it means victory is on the bad side, why should we let the bad side win. In movies the good guys always win so why not make it the same in reality by not letting the bad side win over and cause misery in our life. And also i kinda like the way me and May depicts our story by having our character have no name just 2 little girls. I think its going to make a great novel to read. Haha well shall stop here.

NEW YEAR

Today is the first day of year 2012 and what am i doing? I'm studying in the hostel in the morning. Its a new year so well i guess my blog needs a

new outlook so I will be finding a new skin for my blog after this post. Well 2011 has ended and i really hope that 2012 will be a better year for everyone including myself. 2011 has been a rather exciting year for me. From our big final year project presentation in SP to graduating from SP with a diploma to coming over to Glasgow to further my studies. Wow, to me is a whole lot of things happening. This is also my first time having christmas and new year in a foreign place. It wasn't as exciting as previous years because my friends are all in SG and although i have flatmates but all of them actually went home for christmas and new year. But oh well who cares is a different experience and thinking on the bright side not everyone will have such a chance so must count my blessings.

Many people will write a whole long list of resolutions but for me is just 3 simple things: for me to pass all my subjects well in uni and maybe find a nice boyfriend haha and lastly for all my family and friends be happy and healthy always.

Oh and just had a surprise from my flatmates May's mum. May came back to the hostel today and her mum got me a chinese dish she made herself so nice. Not bad of a new year after all hehe. In the new year i might try somethings new. I'm thinking of trying to dye my hair dark purple haha, mum will kill me but my hair is black so the purple will not be as obvious as people with lighter hair. Well shall stop here happy new year again to everyone and may we all have a good year ahead.

Oh my finally i get a chance to actually sit down and write a nice long post for my holiday at Holland and starting school in Glasgow. Holiday at Holland has been fun visited some nice place of interest, took lots of photos. Oh and i also went back to the farm which i visited 6 years back. I wonder if any of the little goats are still there haha. But surprisingly this time round there are only big goats and a few baby goats around. The last time i went to that farm it was filled with 10-20 over baby goats. Awwwww they are so cute. Fly to Glasgow on the 13th Sept. Lived with mum and uncle in an apartment while sorting out my staff.

Went to get keys for hostel on 17th Sept. Nice room although quite small but i feel comfortable. Mum went back to SG on 26 Sept, going to miss her. School started on 27th Sept. My class has so many chinese. A class of 85 and 24 of them are from China. Not that bad I mean at least u get to see some chinese. Met a SG guy in my class been hanging around together for some time. Glad to have at least someone u know in the class. Most lessons have not start officially but there is one module, omg I think I'm going to die in it. Its a mechanics module and as known by my friends i sucked at mechanics which was proven in that class. The first 2 lessons we had was only a review of the past year topics and I only know the simple questions. Need to go get the past year notes to revise liao if not i'm going to die. Will have many project work and I seriously am scared because I don't know if i could find good members. Oh well cross my fingers then. Pray hard that I can survive university life. May God Bless Me.

Omg my blog is super dead, last post june 14. Anyway life has been ok, really busy these few weeks in preparation for university life in glasgow. Having a major headache trying to pack my bags because i don't know what i need to bring and wish i could bring all my stuff over (which i can't obviously). Counting down to the date i will be leaving, 7th Sept 2011. Also been counting down for my TP which will fall on 2nd of Sept, lol 5 days before flying. I'm so so so scared i will fail. Today just received a message from Esther, she failed her TP because of her parking exceeding the 3 minutes limit. I seriously think I'm also CMI already, she is so good yet she fail then what about me. I'm dead.

Left TTSH on the 19th Aug, miss all my colleagues. They are all wonderful people, gave me lots of gifts on my last day, so touched. Met up with clique on the 20th of aug for makan. I hope i can see them on my departure date. A few of them started university already.

Yeah, I passed my FTT, 48/50. Felt so relieved after seeing the PASSED word on the screen. More than 3 months plus into work and everyday i'm still doing the same old thing, self-reg kiosk. Wish i can do more stuff rather than just standing around idling. Time sometimes just pass so so so slowly. But had fun working there because everyone is super nice and funny. Esther left on 30th June, so sad left me alone at the self-reg. Anyway in about 1 & 1/2 months i'm leaving too, will miss the colleagues I know there. We even had a gathering at Sakura International Buffet. Went for graduation ceremony on 24th May. Took tons of photos. Going to miss all my friends and also a pity for friends who had to gone sailing not being able to attend the graduation. Had about 12 lessons already for my driving, overall is still ok. And yeah finally i settled all my overseas study things even gotten my visa already. I'm left with the booking of airline tickets. Looking forward to studying overseas. Oh well things are going quite smoothly, hope it continues this way.

I have a new found hobby. Polymer Clay Miniature Food haha. Man i spent a bomb (around 100 plus) for the materials and tools. Luckily i don't need to spent money on an oven because i have a really old one at home which mum don't want to use anymore. Total epic fail for the first time because i went to bake the clay for too long. Didn't realised that different oven will need to adjust the time differently. The clay became chao da haha. What initially is suppose to be an egg sushi turned into a chcolate eclair when it exited the oven, laugh like crazy at my sushi. But scared the hell out of me when i saw huge smoke coming from the oven. I thought it was going to blow up. Second time was alright, only a little too 'overcooked' for the bottom of the clay. Was a success for the third time and i added nail varnish to it so it look nice but it reek of varnish smell haha. Turns out, i realised for my oven i need to heat it up for 2 minutes before putting the clay in and baking it at 1 and a 1/2 minute. Going to try more different kind of food again soon. Friends do give me ideas too. Oh i passed my btt haha yeah. Recently just started my driving lesson. Just had 3 lessons. I personally think that i'm not that bad afterall haha. Although yeah i stalled only 2 times on my 1st lesson bt stalled like 10 over times when i was asked to drive on the actual road with cars and everything else. Phew, god bless me to learn everything well. I kena damn lot of scoldings from my instructor on the last lesson, hehe. Work has been fine but was kind of tired for the last few weeks. Particularly with the fact that my maid went home for holiday and decided not to return to SG to work. Stupid, me and my mum worked our ass off maintaining the house. Fell sick last wed and till now have not fully recovered, SIAN. Oh dad recently also got me a new camera, love it alot. Well off to bed, tomorrow is another working day. Oh yeah another pay coming in soon haha.

EPIC FAIL!!!
PASSED AND NICE!!! NEW CAM!!!

6 weeks into work. Been so busy for the first 4 weeks. OT for like almost the whole week and not forgetting sat which i actually don't need to work. After the clinic opened, i spent my 8 working hours standing at the self-reg kiosk 5 days a week. My legs and heels are hurting like hell. The amount i have in my bank is like 200 plus, can't wait for my pay to come in. There are lots of things i wanted to get after my paycheck. I wanted to get a pair of black pumps to replace my old one, needs to get a hair straightener, maybe some shirts/blouse and also save some for my camera. Oh and also a lomo camera i saw selling at a shop in plaza singapura which cost about 100 plus. Omg there are so many things i want, i don't think my pay this month can last me long. Anyway i will try to find ways to save up money. Recently met up with the senior lecturer from the university in uk. He told me that the confirmation letter can't be given yet due to some english language problem they have, needs a little more time. I hope everything goes on smoothly because i used so much energy and hardwork to try and get the place. On monday, stupid me forgot my IC so got disqualified for my btt. Cried when the examiner said i cannot take the test. Luckily there is kevin who accompanied me to the centre, help me talked to the examiner and he allow me to book an earlier date. Managed to booked for the timeslot this coming wed. I hope i can do well for the btt if not is really depressing to first get disqualified and next failing the test. Today went to watch THOR with kevin and his friend. Is quite nice and gosh Chris Hemsworth is freaking hot. Look at his body man *dreamy*. I would love to just hug that body of him. Oopy sound so pervert haha, all thanks to the influence of my colleage for being to dreamy about guys.
