Depression is setting in. How is it possible that my English standard has dropped to such a standard? Even a Primary school student uses much better vocabulary than me. [ I shall quote a sentence from my chinese medical book, 'tears trickled down my face for a long time without signs of stopping, droplets of tears hung on my eyelashes, I could not control my sadness and my face became distorted.']

Of all the days within this week, thursday was my most unproductive day. I could not seem to be able to concentrate as I was really looking forward to friday as it meant that the week has come to an end. It also implied that I was able to sleep on my nice comfortable bed in my cozy room and eat delicious meals whipped up by my parents. I really miss my life at home. Is this a sign of homesickness? I shall not ponder upon this question any longer as I really do not want to destroy anymore of my little brain cells. Most of my brain cells were fighting a losing battle against the chinese characters that I needed to "compressed" into my head. They seriously require a well-deserved break.

Friday was a beautiful day with bright sunshine in the early morning and showers in the evening. My bag was especially heavy since I had to bring home a lot of items, such as my laptop, books and my clothes. Chinese lesson was a race against time as the teacher, sped up his reading speed, resulting in me being lost most of the time. Although i do know the phrase,"yi chun guang yin yi chun jin, chun ying nan mai chun guang yin" it was no excuse for the teacher to speed read through the complex and highly confusing paragraphs. The last lecture of the day was done by a Hong Kong lecturer. As for those who wants to know wat "freezing" things I said during the lecture, please refer to yn's blog. (YES, YN. I READ YOUR BLOG ENTRY AND I SAW SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD WISHED I DID NOT SEE. BEWARE.) After the lecture, I hitched a ride back to Bishan from yn's uncle. Thus, I reached home around 6 plus. Many thanks to Yn's uncle. During the ride, I discovered that yn's "big-head" is more studious than yn and I as she was reading books, Harry Potter as well as yi gu wen". I have to say that she looks real cool in sunglasses.

That is it for today. For more updates, please wait patiently. =)

OMG i am dying

In this entry, I will attempt to blog in perfect english as I realized my english standard is seriously dropping.

This week marks the start of a new semester for me and it also means that I will need to start studying already. As it is the first week of school after the short 1 month break, I have quite a bit of free time.

On monday, I was very tired as I had woken up at 2 plus am. The reason for this was that rena had sent me a message at that time and I could not go back to sleep. This, in the morning I had very dark eyebags. I had a boring morning lecture by a lecturer whose voice is seriously sleep-inducing, which further increased my desire to sleep. After a quick lunch, I went to cr7 to organise and gave out the chinese medical textbooks that my tutorial group members ordered during the holidays. After which, i had a 5 hour long lesson on traditional medical articles. (yi gu wen) with an 1 hour break in between. After dinner, I had to rush to finish my design for the FOC t-shirt. This marks the end of my uneventful monday.

On tuesday, I only have a lecture that starts at 3.30pm. Despite so, I woke up at 8am to drop and add another elective. Unfortunately, I could not get the elective that I wanted as there were no more vacancies. I also met my sister (whom i asked to help me bring a box of color pencils and my slippers. During my 2 hour lecture on genetics, which i wasn't paying attention to, I was busy coloring my t-shirt design as I had to hand it up after my lecture.

On wednesday, I had a 2 hour long chinese lesson. I met my sister after the lesson to pass her her lecture notes and to get my things from her. Pris, yn and I went to play basketball after that. My basketball is finally being used. I was tired out pretty quickly as my stamina has deproved a lot. However, I am quite proud of my skill at snatching the ball and I managed to shoot in a few balls. After the workout, we went to eat at hall 14 and then we walked all the way back to my hostel which is hall 9. It was quite a distance to walk. luckily, there was some form of entertainment as pris was singing while yn was acting as a music teacher. Pris' version of Angela's "i don't want to know" (bu xiang dong le) was very memorable. After reaching my hall, I learnt how to dance Agent J with yn coaching me. I had quite a bit of problems learning it as my sense of rhythm is horrendous and I could not really remember the dance steps.

Today, I had a 4 hour long chinese lesson with a half an hour break in between. For lunch, pris, yn and i went to dine at hall 13. We had korean food which tasted acceptable but the canteen was housefly infested. Looking at the number of houseflies, it reminded me of the times when i was in Bali. After lunch, yn and i return to our hostel while pris went home. I ironed my clothes and took a quick bath. Now, I am sitting in front of my laptop and blogging while yn watches her "entertainent 100%".

My t-shirt design for foc and color scheme.

I used "paint" to color the background black. I think it looks nicer like this.
Pris' color scheme for my design. I like the rose.
