woke up wid a real sucky feeling today..
a feeling of not doing anithing, not going anywhere n not learning anything..
a feeling of juz wanting to do wat i like or not even doing anithing..
wonder anione had the same type of feeling before?
maybe it's juz PMS..
i'm trying to try-sell my driving practical slot for today..
hopefully, someone will buy it from me..

i dun wan to rant abt my schedule..
but i think i'll feel betta once i blog it out..
"psychological relief", tat's wat those profound heart problem researchers called it..
my company project (iCEE) proposal datelines falls on 1/9 (fri), individual case hand-in assignment 2 dateline on 2/9(sat), french test and self-paced assignment dateline on 6/9(wed), iCEE logbook submission by 8/9(fri) n group macdonald case study presentation on 13/9(wed)..
...
how to prepare for cases, projects, test n assignments all at the same time?!
n i have to make sure tat i contribute in class discussions n projects so tt my grpmates dun fail me for my peer evaluation..
i juz feel very stranded..
nothing exciting for me to look forward to..
i wan my life back!
i wan to go out!
attend fren's birthday party! go szeman's pagent! watch movie! try out nice eating places wid my family!!
...
super frustrated wid my life now..

juz received a good news..
someone bought my driving practical time slot..
at least sth to be glad abt~

in the midst of cursing those tat came up wid the disgusting schedule, i still hav to set my goals for the day..
today's goal-
1) check emails for companies' reply tat they will approve my grp to do proj wid them
2) read n prepare case study for aa205 - 18 pages
3) read n prepare case study for ab311 - 20 pages
4) try to read n prepare another case study for aa205 -? pages which i need to do as individual assignment n pass up on 2/9
5) revise jap as i've forgotten 60% of the stuff n new lessons r becoming harder
i guess i really NEED a miracle..

my frenz said a busy schedule is good as we will become more efficient n will feel a sense of achievement when we looked back at the no. of things we'd completed..
i, on the other hand, will already feel a sense of great achievement juz by looking back to see how many semesters i'd survived in nanyang business sch..

something tat's of a lighter tone..
went out to eat at sakae sushi wid my family yesterday..
sakae sushi had a brand new vegetarian menu..
tot we'll try it out yesterday..
it's not bad.. now i got more food to eat..
next target will be 'original sin'..
heard tat it's darn expensive meditternean restaurant..
betta be good..
vege meals r gettin pretty popular nowadays~
which means i dun need to starve~ =D

went to natsu matsuri yesterday~
tot tat i wun be able to go this yr~
coz cannot get any tix~
but on fri, my sensei suddenly caught me at a corner n secretly shove me a tix~
嬉しい！！ (happy!!)

as this yr's natsu matsuri is only available for members~
compared to last yr, this yr wasn't too crowded~
it was juz nice~
especially the queue for food n games~
they hole the festival at the Japanese Primary School - Clementi Campus- 's yakyu pitch(baseball field)~
so my slippers was all dirty when i got back to changed~

this yr, i went early so tat i get a chance to choose the yukata tat i like~
but, like i said, coz most were members, they have their own yukata, so even those who came late (like my frenz), they, too, got to choose wat to wear~

i was starving when all of us were ready to enter the carnival area~
my frenz had sakana bento n pork pizza (forgot wat izzit called in jap), while i had, zaru soba n croquette~
おいしいですよ～ (oishii~)
later, i went to buy the jap meiji ice cream~
it's really as nice as last yr's~
really dunno any other place tat sells jap meiji ice cream besides the natsu matsuri~
i followed my frenz to play the games~
i din play this yr coz i already played last yr n main reason was bcoz the games r not cheap~
each game cozt 1.50 bucks~

ビールを飲みたいですが、ちょっと高いです～
(i wan to drink beer, but it's too ex~)
then, we went to do the folk dance~
everyone form circles around the stage n dance together~
u can join n leave anitime~
we danced to the last dance~
not forgeting our photo-taking too~

later we went to buy meiji pdt~
it's really cheap~
it's a bundle consiting of chocolates, sweets n biscuits - for only 2 bucks~
u noe normal super market sell on chocolate bar already 1.80 bucks~
my fren bought 4 bundles!!

we went back to the changing room with the initial plan of returning our yukatas~
demo~ (but~)
the things in the classroom were really too kawaii to ignore~
we started our fanatic photo-taking sessions~
it's more fun than taking neo-prints!!

if possible, 来年も行くと思います！！(i would wan to go next yr!!)
as the fanatic photos r wid my fren, i upload it when she send to me~

how to say "die" in french?
...
french is.. how would i put it..
in "business" form - challenging
in "student" form - tough
in "simple" form - very very hard!!!!!

went into class today n the tutor immediately greeted me n asked me, "ça va?"
i dun even noe wat's tt..
juz kept shaking my head like an idiot~
shld had reacted faster n told him, " je ne suis pas", which mean "i dunno"~
sounds weird but at least it's an ans!
later found out it meant "how do u feel?"

i always hav the habit of doing my work in the mrt~
today, i was doing my french tutorial in the mrt~
i din even realised there's this foreigner sitting rite beside me~
guess i was too focus on those tough qns~
there's one qn tat i dunno how to do n as usual i circled it~
all of a sudden, the "ang mo" beside me (whom i juz realised after he spoke) asked me whether i need help wid tat qn i circled..
i was very surprised~
he helped me wid the qn~
n his french was excellent!
strongly suspect tat he's a french~
after tt, i went on to the next set of qns~
i realised he kept staring at my ans~
felt really super stress~
coz i do french very very slowly~
luckily he got off at bugis~
then came alone 2 foreigners n they sat beside me again~
after a few min, i realised they were saying sth abt my french tutorial~
n they were speaking in some european language (dunno whether french or not, from here u will notice my standard of french is how low)~
...
wa lau~
how cum all the french ppl sit beside me??!

had my very first driving lesson on mon~
damn scary~
i think the instructor even more scare than me~

instead of those snail-like moving vehicle driven by the usual beginners, my car move at the speed of light~
haha.
tat's a bit too exaggerating~
the instructor at the side kept telling me to control my speed~
n i absolutely hav no idea how to apply the brake properly~
we went on to the circuit trial later~
my car was always out of the lane, no matter i move straight or turn right~
there's a lot of "L" plate cars then~
everytime i saw a car in front of me, i'll juz scream to him, "got car! got car!"..
n not to mention the "super" speed i'm driving at~
the car always jerk stop~

i think the poor instructor was very much tortured by me~

joyce's rite~
sch is evreything to bitch abt~

-=my finalise time-table=-

mon: Driving
tue: 1030 - 1930 @ NTU (Risk Management & Assurance, Strategic Management, Jap 3)
wed: 830 - 1230 @ NTU (Risk Mgmnt & Asrnc, Strat Mgmnt)
thur: Driving
Fri: 1030 - 1930 @ NTU (Risk Management & Assurance, International Business Law, Jap 3)

seems pretty relax rite~
but u haven seen the worst yet~
i'm refering to my never-ending reading materials~
sch juz started n it's piling already~

had chose to take international business law to finished up my last 4 AU (so tat i can offcially finish my general electives allocated units for my course this sem)
juz checked the course outline for international law~
there was a word of caution by the prof..
"be prepare to hav a lot of readings, this course suits those who r a heavy worker"~
sounds BAD~
it's not my core modu n yet i hav to work so hard for it?!
"u will be assigned to different grps randomly for each seminar.."
"students r expected to speak, share their opinions n actively participate in class..."
"class participate - 20% " of examination marks..
sounds really really BAD~
i hope i'll pull through~
i'm not those heavy workers who reads n does tutorials all the time, n i'm definitely not outspoken n find it weird to discuss my ideas wid total strangers~
in the meantime, i'm juz gonna psych myself tat i can do this~
afterall i did pull thru for tat crazy core modu i took a yr ago (the one tat required video shooting during all presentation i did in front of my class n to constantly recieve all their "comments") ~

wat's there to say~
aja aja ganbare!!

Bad news gal~
yesterday juz heard from fren tat this the natsu festival is not open to public~
i have no idea how they define their "public"..
does it mean only their sch student??
I'll try means n ways of confirming the news wif them, then i'll let u all noe as soon as they reply~

For those who dunno wat is natsu festival~
it means summer festival~
it's a jap festival where gals wear yukata, go to nite market n play fireworks~

recently, it's the add/drop period for my sch~
damn stress~
everyday camp at comp until late at nite to check the vacancy of the classes that i wan to get in~
pls pray for me~
hope i'll get it soon~

i'm really more gettin' blur~
who noes tat aiba's diesase can spread thru' monitor screen?!?!
yesterday went to my first lesson~
n i sit at the wrong grp~
get to work wif the wrong grp of ppl~
n gave contacts to the wrong grp of ppl~
while my correct grpmates are sittin rite beside me at the next table~

my fren gave me a belated bday present yesterday~
she purposely went to find a card written in jap~
i was so happie~
but the card was in odd shape~
the cover part was rather thick n fat, as if sth is wrap inside~
not knowing wat was inside, i almost tore open the card~
luckily i din~
coz she msg me later in the nite, " hav u heard the music?"
n i told her, "o.. that fat part is for the music izzit? eh.. i think the card spoil.."~
her next reply was, "did u press the button?"
i hurriedly check the card for ani jap instructions that i missed out~
indeed, there's this instruction written in a circle of the size of a thumb~
aiya~
i mean anione in their rite mind will tot the music will play once u opened the card rite?
so not my fault!!

To chin:
i saw hansen yesterday at ntu~
i din see him at first, he suddenly shouted my name~
gave me a big shock~
he's still as tall as ever~
like a tree~
but i would say like a "burnt" tree~
coz he so dark~
haha..

[2004.09.16] Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen Part 2

aiba vs LOTS of kangeroos


@L3xIz had fun on Sunday, August 06, 2006


was watching this variety show~
this particular part was really funny~
thought i'll share it wid u ppl~
since there's no english subs~
i'll do a little bit of explanation here~

aiba masaki (the person waering the jumper) was given a mission to complete~
tat was to feed the kangeroos~
the zookeeper was telling him to place the food tray at the bottom of a quite faraway tree~
notice tat there's a particular kangeroo wif a scarf on its neck~
tat was the kangeroos' leader - taicho (leader in jap)~
seeing the anxious & hungry huge bunch of kangeroos, aiba kept saying " i understand!! i understand!!" hoping the kangeroos will understand and not charge at him later~
the leader fought some of the kangeroos who were eager to get some food from the tray~
before aiba got into the enclosure, he said:" wow~ like opening a concert!!"(for ur info, aiba masaki is from ARASHI)
and followed by:"everyone!! today, thank you very much!!" (words to be said from a singer to the audiences during concert~)
when he got in, the kangeroos kept clawing him and he screamed," pain! pain! pain!"..
then, the zookeeper said, "okie, i'm closing the gate.."
aiba cried:" wait!! wait!! wait!!"
he treid to move to his destination but fell down halfway screaming for help~
he was given another tray to complete the mission~
once he steer clear from the kangeroos he happily said: "now's the chance!!!" and ran for it..
in the process he screamed: "DOCCHI(where)?????!!"
the zookeeper told him: "KI NO SHITA (below the tree)!!!!"
the rest u can watch urself~
