ZZZ. It's 1;15am. Supposed to be doing a research proposal but here I am. Anyway, I've always wanted to be a proper blogger or at least pen down my thoughts here much more frequently. Sigh, school's soooo incredibly boring. I mean I enjoy what I learn, but to be tested about what we learn? Screw whoever that came up with exams. Pfft. Do you know what can increase my 'spirit of learning'? Going to UB in New York. I really want to but... Oh well, I'll just leave the entire matter into God's hands. As much as I want something or want something to go my way, but if it's just not in His plans, I want to know it from Him as early as possible! or even ASAP! Anyway, I have a super backlog of entries & more to do. The thoughts that always roaming my mind everyday:
1. The thousands of photos I have to edit & upload (sihui's birthday + zoo + birdpark)
2. Have a more serious music library in itunes
3. Planning for my 21st!
Okay, back to that research proposal now.

You and Edwin are so sweet! (: so envy of you two! Just asking, did you two quarrel often, how do you two resolve the problems?
Thanks! (: Um, if your definition of quarrel means shouting at each other and getting pissed, then NO. We do bicker sometimes due to miscommunication but we make sure we settle it by the end of the day. Talking about it helps a lot.
any idea where is selling nice shoes? shoes for going to school
Bugis Village, H&M, TOMS,... Oh, how about BATA? Just Kidding!
how often do you train for your track and field? is the training tough?
Twice a week. When it was nearing IVP, I tried to go thrice a week. Whether is the training tough is really relative as it really depends on how much effort you put into it.
how come your leg is still so lsim despite all the runs and u dont have bulky calves?
Thanks for the compliment but I think my calves have actually grown bigger since I started running competitively. Running long distance usually do not result in huge calves as we use the muscles less explosively as compared to short distance runners. So, most sprinters have huge calves because they need the energy and boost, and therefore they really work on their legs.

What's the last TV show you watched? What did you like about it?
GLEE SEASON 3! :D
Everything but Principal Figgins
hi fiona! may i know what shampoo/conditioner do you use? and do you go to any salons for treatment or smthing? thanks! (:
Actually I just buy whatever shampoo my dad buys and it's usually like Sunsilk (the golden bottle) or Dove (hair fall therapy I think). My hair roots are really weak and so I do lose a lot of hair everyday. Oh, I'm quite lazy so I do not use conditioner often and I'm too lazy to drag myself to a salon and sit myself in a chair for like 4 hours.

Hi, what do u think of Murdoch uni for communications? is it better than SIM's UB?
I really have no clue about the communication in Murdoch but the comms degree here in UB is pretty interesting! And since it's an American degree, there is a more holistic and well-rounded curriculum. You get to learn other stuff not relating to communication such as music, philosophy, french, err is math counted? Hahahaha

3 happy/funny things today
Even though today was a pretty much slack day (with the exception of work where I was rushing like a mad woman).
1. Waking Up To 'Good Morning' Messages
I love waking up to see '1 new message' on my phone. Usually Edwin wakes up so much earlier than me so he'll be the one that says good morning first. So today, I had '6 new messages' because I woke up really late. Like nearly 12pm. So yeah, I'm happy because I could wake up to a bombardment of his text messages.
2. ERP
On the way while walking to the gym, I had to cross the road at the pedestrian crossing. So, if it's a green man for us, it'll be a red light for the motorists right? Just when the traffic light turned red, the ERP right after the traffic light came on. HEEHEE :D I saw all those anguished faces of the motorists & those two men on the motorists particularly complained extra loudly. & that made me smile more to myself. HAHAHA.
3. Kid In The Fountain
While waiting for the lift, a kid, probably from Japan, was playing at the fountain. The fountain was only shooting upwards ONE jetstream of water. The kid ran in it for about 10 seconds before the fountain was fully turned on & was gushing. He was caught totally unware and so he left one side of his crocs behind in the fountain. The mum & dad laughed. Then the dad cheerfully ran into the fountain with all those stream of water gushing upwards to retrieve the slipper
sigh, the little things that make me happy during this 3rd day of chinese new year

Honestly, countdown was such a bore and so was the start of the new year. I thought it would have been better if I made the choice of countdown-ing with my parents & church friends but no. Yes it was fun a little but not as fun & happened ing as compared to the years before. Am I losing my social life now that I'm attached? Do people think I'm not fun anymore. Oh well, I hope things will pick up from here on. Really, I hate making choices.

2011: The Year In Review
2011's coming and going & I thought I'll take stock of everything that has gone by. Hope it'll be a good lengthy post since I have 8 more hours at work, should make good use of this time that I have. Gym's kinda empty! Good time to blog. 2011 has been pretty eventful, 2010 was really more of a time to enjoy & do stuff that I couldn't do once I entered uni.
First and foremost, I'm currently in University at Buffalo studying communication. I thank God for the family He has blessed me with. I thank God for the friends in my life. I thank God for getting me through the ups & downs in 2011. I thank God for bringing me thus far.
January
The year kicked off with a great time with the fairfield clique at MBS for countdown. I remember it was raining heavily but by the time the night rolled around, it was good & clear. HAHA, since only 2-4 people could go to the rooftop, we decided to stay at the lift lobby to watch the fireworks at the marina bay countdown. I think we were at like the 42th floor and wanted to watch the fireworks with our drinks from the room. But our floor was already packed so we went a floor up & the window space beside the lift was crowded too. It was nearly midnight and jingming was already drunk and we still had not found a window space to countdown. hahaha. In the end, we had to make do with a floor that had lesser people as compared to other floors to countdown and watch the 5 minute fireworks show.
Also in January, was the 1st batch of my friends that were being commissioned as an officer in OCS. Since school hasn't started I was pretty free! Went for Jocelyn's 21st birthday party at a chalet and stayed over. The next day early in the morning, I rushed down to Clementi Macs to meet the girls to throw allicia a surprise birthday mini party! What a pig she was (:
Friends became closer friends. 2nd sem of school had started & even though the 6 of us (pris, shan, jacq, jo & sam) had varying timetables, we still found time to meet & have lunch.
February
The CHINESE NEW YEAR month! I remember going for last minute exercises, diets and tanning to get into shape. Reunion dinners for both sides of the family

smooth sailing
December's coming & going; don't really know whether can it be considered as smooth sailing, but I'm thankful that you are here to get me going everyday (:
Over the past few days, I've been trying to prepare the Christmas presents. At this rate, I think I'll never get anything done ): STUPID ME STUPID UGC ON MONDAY.
Got my new $20 scheduler, no more using of Fairfield diary, cheap cheap $4! Let's hope that with the arrival of 2012, I'll be more disciplined, more hardworking, more practical, more organized,... Gonna jot everything down in that red thick scheduler, even my QT I guess. Yeah, so what if it's a private thing, I don't really care about what others think when they read my scheduler. Writing it out or seeing it on paper/screen, helps me to organize my thoughts.
Whole lot of Christmas presents to settle, way too many upcoming 21sts (including mine), birthdays birthdays & more birthdays... QT QT QT ):
THINGS TO DO:
1. Buy Jollyranchers
2. Settle Sugar Cubes
3. Settle Bracelets
4. Settle Lollipops
5. Pack My Room
6. Settle ALL The Other Christmas Presents
7. Get A Tan
GO FIONA GO! BUT FIRST UGC111!
