hey ub comm is $60,000 for a year or? i'm in poly now and i dont think i can get into local uni cos of my shitty gpa fml!

it states on the website $60000, but if you've taken some electives in poly that are similar to the modules offered in ub, you don't have to take them again. for example, i took econs and maths back in alevels, so i don't have to take math here in ub. so, all in all, i managed to waive off $14k. i've a friend that took mass comm in np & so she managed to waive off $30k!! & oh, if you already know what you wanna do in life, it doesn't matter if you have shitty gpa, really.

long overdue photos: junyang's comm parade

this is what i mean by a proper post. i haven't done one in a long time cause of studies & being very much a fitness & health freak busy bee (:

it was raining cats & dogs & gorillas & monkeys... & we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to like take photos with junyang. & that would have sucked big time because the prev batch were in the rain the whole time & were drenched & we couldn't congratulate our dear friend. but just in time, the rain stopped & a rainbow even appeared over the parade ground!

junyang's the guy on the left side of the picture that seems totally out of the platoon. but he says he's not.

4S

let me teach you something new. it called the 4S & you can use it when people ask you qns regarding dream vacations & stuff like that. for example:
hey,where's your dream vacation?
me: oh, anywhere that has the 4s
what 4s?
oh, the Sun, Sand, Surf and not forgetting,Shopping!
well,this only is applicable to people like me; the sun worshippers.

this is a completely random post at 4.45am & I can't sleep. refer to the prev post

4.34am

with only two weeks of holiday, sleeping's a total waste of time

running correctly

here's what i've been doing the past week, RUNNING THE RIGHT WAY. i used to push aside all those stories about barefoot running & all that, but now, my 'eyes are opened' & i'm less stubborn, haha. i still think barefoot running's bad, but the techniques involved in barefoot running is really essential and advantageous.

basically, it's running on the balls of our feet instead of it being heel first. almost everyone's natural stance of running is the heel-strike, but what it really does is that it causes lots of problems & for me, the darn knee injury )): which has been haunting me since j1. sooo, i can't really tell whether this method is effective but from my friends & colleagues that have done it, it REALLY DOES WORK. it'll probably take like 2 months for me to get used to it & this whole week, i kinda have much trouble walking because of my calves being in much ache & pain. sooo, in 2 months, goodbye knee pain! (i hope) :D

this kind of running, is proper, but it causes a lot of strain on our calf muscles. everyday i've been trying to find more calf stretching exercises. help!

older or younger guys?

hahaha, older than me can already

Ask me anything

is it hard to get into ntu comm studies?

i really don't knowwww. sorry. in my entire social network, i probably only know like three people in there.

I appreciate the many little things you've done for me. thank you mei mei.

oh,even though it's your birthday,I'll still push/nudge/kick you when you make eating noises in your sleep. it irritates the hell out of me but I still love you (:

running is for girls

ran 5km with jo for that Nike race. it seems that I run faster when it's with other people.

sigh,I really wanna get my 2.4km timing down to like 9-10mins again. call me crazy but I know that it's possible without the dog chasing me k. hahahaha. just went for a run. tried running on my toes or the ball of my feet instead of the heel. it's supposedly better for running. SUPER TIRING.

skinny jeans or baggy jeans

err skinny jeans, can i say neither? jeans are just not a staple for me. since uni started, i have never worn jeans to school. ever. jeggings yes, jeans no.

EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVERRRR! FREEDOM! but it's only gonna be for like two weeks ): ohwell, gonna make the best out of it then. people are flying all over the country & here i am stuck in hot singapore. gonna make the best out of it. i'm gonna try to eat right & since i don't know how to cook, i got to really moderate my portions & amp up my workouts.

i actually intended to slack off the whole day 1 of my holidays but i couldn't just sit there doing nothing. after the much glorious food feasting at aston's & ikea yesterday. i just had to do something to make myself feel better.

day 1

sigh, i wanted to eat right but since my maid whipped up mee siam & she was trying something new & she looked really eager to see my reaction, i had to eat it. not bad a try, but still cannot compare to siti's meesiam )): anyway, i was contemplating to go for a jog with choko but decided to workout at home instead. i don't know whether all these things that i do will actually work or not but it's better than just sitting on the couch & munching on chips. ugh, someone please bring me to wavehouseeee. i wanted to go with the girls but it seems like they aren't so keen about it. i wish i could find a twin, someone that likes everything that i like & do. we could do everything that i don't like to do alone. hahahaha, i think i'm not making sense.

so these are the videos i have found best for day one :D

y'know when you go on youtube & you just don't know which workout video to pick cause there's just like a smorgasboard of them, it's really important to use those that are really effective & not anyhow pick one. so here:

sifting out exercises for day two:

Chelsea vs Man Utd

AHHHH! this is the one of the few times i'm so enraged & emotional over a match. ahhh,the score's 2-0 now & it's in man it's favor. ahhh. half time now.

COME ON CHELSEAAA! :DD

mayyyy

last week & this week has been full of ups & downs. firstly,being sick affects every activity ): the drowsy medicine is effective but it's so darn hard to study under that drowsiness that I give up & fall asleep. because of being cooped up at home,I'm becoming fairer ): exercise has been really limited as well. I pant really fast & I had recent news that my immune system is so active that it's attacking itself -.- that's why I'm falling sick. hmm,any more bad points? driving on Tuesday was really shitty too.

on a positive note, driving today went perfectly well! tp soon ((: watched lion king with ws yesterday & it was really awesome! coming from a drama & theatre background,it was fantastic to see them recreate the scenes from the animated movie! but I couldn't stop myself from nitpicking as well. the viewing experience sucks due to my knowledge of backstage crew work & all that. but still,it was fantastic! the same thing happens when I watch a movie & if it's a romance genre,all the more predictable it is for me. studying interpersonal communication & all that really opens my eyes to the interaction between individuals. talking to ws really made it clearer that I really have no career in mind. I really don't know what to so in the future. does pay really matter? can I find a job that I can really enjoy & have a passion for & am really happy doing it so that it doesn't feel like a job? & oh, the hakuna matata song is stuck in my head (:

another plus point or neutral but crucial point would be what happened on labour day, 1 may 2011, Sunday & I had better document this down. during communion,the church had invited this particular priest from somewhere I don't know where & he prayed for me after he gave me the 'bread'. & the whole prayer just shocked me. he said something like: 'may you find progress & success as you go about your time in year 2 & 3 in university'. I couldn't stop smiling to myself. mark was beside me & he asked whether I knew that man or whether my dad knew him but NO. we/I have no relations at all with the man but yet he knew what to pray for for me! divine intervention indeed. & so,I take this as a sign as to continue my studies here in ub as once summer sem ends, it'll be year 2! sooo,I think I'll be rejected from NTU adm,again. but with God's blessing, year 2 & 3 here I comeee!

can it get any worse

dear immune system, why are you so dumb to attack yourself? ):

what size is ur feet?

HAHAHA, why? EUR 36-27, US 6-6half & UK 3half-4. are you buying me footwear?? i thought there was this belief that if i was to be given shoes, i have to give you a dollar back. hahahahaha.

Ask me anything

Ask me anything

i'm almost 19 but i dont even have an ex.. is there something wrong? would people judge me differently?

NOPE, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. not having an ex doesn't mean you have no experience to bring on to the coming relationship, it means you can give your 100% love & affection.
