i'm nervous

just got reminded that by tomorrow 5pm, i will get my grade for 3 years of slogging in the uni. i really don't know how that moment is going to be and how it's going to end. i'm so afraid. will it be tears of joy or disappointment? will i even be able to open the brown envelope that holds the slip of paper?

hard to believe that in the end, it boils down to just 1 sheet of paper.
for all you know, i will get a nervous breakdown and start eating the petals of the lovely peonies that Tze Lin got for me. so sweet of her ain't it? besides the flowers Dave got for me last summer, she's the only other person to buy me any here. oh no,i'm tempted to pull the petals already....

interesting...

Congratulations renee, you are...

You are independent, smart and beautiful. Its too bad you don't see that yourself because life's little difficulties brought down a lot of your self confidence. As a result, you talk cryptic and you don't trust people easily. You care a lot for your friends and your loved ones, sometimes even more than you care for yourself, although they don't always seem to appreciate it. Don't let that affect you. As the saying goes, you don't miss the water till the well runs dry. So hang in there, you're a star in the making.

Which Singaporean Blogger Are You?

hmmm... i've never read her blog. will do so once i am officially out of school and a bummer

i wonder what happened to them

Indecent Obsession had nice songs like 'lady rain' & 'fixing a broken heart'. i can still remember singing to them at the top of my lungs...that was back in secondary school days. Wow. A decade has passed and i'm still studying. Heard from a friend that one of my ex was getting married this June. All the blessings to him (although we have not spoken for... yeah, 10 years) but 1 question though>> why get hitched so young? (he's only 25 this year)

hmmm... anyway when are my best mates getting hitched?? i want to be a jie mei! Yes this post is not really making sense, so just erm continue down to read the lyrics of the song if you want to.

Lady Rain
There were times when the sky would bring me nothing
Except the smell of the rain at summertime
So I left my window open just to let you come inside
Saying that you'd never leave me was a lie

Well there were times that my eyes were filled with water
But all the world was desert dry
So I hugged my pillow closer and I tried to close my eyes
But the sound of distant thunder made me cry.....

Lady Rain,I heart you at my window
Lady Rain,I need you softly falling on my face
Why did the sunshine come and take you away?
I'd wait for you again ,my Lady Rain.....

I hear the sound of her breathing in the darkness
And autumn rain can turn to snow in the night
I'll be sleeping this September,but I'll leave the fire light
Just in case you feel like coming 'round again

Lady Rain,I heart you at my window
Lady Rain,I need you softly falling on my face
Why did the sunshine come and take you away?
I'd wait for you again ,my Lady Rain.....

And late at night,when you pour down on me
You're just in time to wash all the tears away....

my dear = dragon?

you know the chinese saying: "nan ren sanshi yi tiao long"?
well, my dearest Dave is officially a 31 years old today!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!
oops. (hope he's not sensitive abt his age)
hmmm... really cant wait to get home to spend proper time with my guy, especially since now he's in the age where men are soooo desirable! i've been so busy with my work the past weeks that i've not been able to shop for a decent present. i don't want something cheesy or something typical.
=(
now i wish i was a guy lah, it's so much easier buying things for girls!

on another note:
yes i'm done but i won't be really celebrating till after monday the 13th. that's when my results come out. i'm crossing my fingers that i get at at least a 2:2, although i really want a 2:1. don't think i can get a 1st....

wanna play virtual pacman?

i never knew that Singapore was developing a VR version of this childhood game. read more about it at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4607449.stm.
the people in the photo look really silly though.

i was even taxed £7.82!

if you're ordering from Victoria's Secret and having it posted to anywhere out of USA, here's a piece of advice:
DON'T even bother paying 3usd for giftwrapping.
why?
cos' all they do is shove a shrink-wrapped box into the package.
NO, the items are not placed inside the giftbox.
what's the point then?
It doesnt even resemble a gift in anyway.
Stupid stupid people who pack it at the warehouse.

enough ranting.
thank you dear dear for the present!
=)
muaks

It is done

i cant seem to get a decent photo with everything in.
have to make do i guess:
this is the overall look, followed by shots of other bits close up.
too tired to explain for now, so just ask questions if u want....

pseudolin tempted me to go through Bluefly too and i've spotted this dress. i want i want i want!! anyone living in the USA willing to let me post it to them? cos it costs too much to shop international from the online shop.....

F***.
5mins later i click on it to "add to basket" and it's sold out.
ARGHS

this cat bed is so freaking cute!!! i am SO going to buy it. if the cat refuses to sleep in it, i'll use it for something else. ahhhhhh... wish i was a cat now & i will definately sleep in the lovely bed the whole day.

Numb

is the perfect feeling+song for now.

i miss the mrt

"In a tunnel south of Baker Street station, three Tube trains were stuck for an hour after points failure due to the heat, a Transport for London spokesman said."

what the hell!
if it's too cold, the tracks get ice & trains get stuck.
if there are too many leaves on the tracks, the trains get stuck.
if it's too hot, the trains get stuck too??!!!
it was just 31 degrees.
thank goodness i wasnt in that train.
last summer me, alvin+candice got stuck in a train for 15mins & we were ready to faint. just imagine 1 hour....
like they say, London is a 1st world city running a 3rd world system.

summer is upon you in London when:

- you see half naked burnt red construction men working
- the skirts get so short and the tops so skimpy,
one wonders just how much skimpier they can get.
- men, including your friendly postman, start walking around in t-shirts & shorts!
- you have to endure oven roasting public transport while hanging on to sticky poles for your dear life.

oh i could bitch on about the summer here but i'm too tired, hot+flustered.
time to buy a fan, huge fan.

if only...

Sam just called to tell me about the Cambridge Beer Festival that's happening now. he kindly suggested that i could pop by later at 5pm to have a few pints, then he will fetch me back to London tomorrow at 4am in the morning.
ARGHS!
SAM YOU ARE EVIL!!!!!!!!
*&#^$&(^#%

you know it's not a good sign when

- you only have dinner at 9pm at a crappy chinese restuarant near school.
- it's because you've just finished school for the day.
- you get home at 11pm and realise you have MOUNTAINS of work to do but your body rebels.
- you end up crawling to bed and not waking up for the next 10hours.
- you even manage to filter out all your sister's screaming about the cat puking all over the flat.

at times like these, i really think my body's giving up on me,
it's gone on a 'i rather just die' mode.
can someone just shoot me or something?

i knew i knew i knew

that somehow Liverpool would recover and win the Champions League!
heh
yes i know you're going to say that it's not very fair cos they went into penalty shootout.
too bad.
life's tough.
*grin*

meanwhile, i will try to get started on my work again...
