Good Morning

"Good days start with good mornings.
Good mornings start with a nice heart warming greeting first thing u wake up. =) "

Things that put a smile on your face the moment you open your eyes. (:

Cough Cough Cough Cough Cough

After coughing for the past one week and a dosage of antibiotics,

Still coughing.

Saw the doc another time, changed the type of treatment.

I was feeling better today until I got agitated.

Really irritated and blood boiled,

That now I'm back to coughing non-stop.

Look at how people are mending up your shit hole near midnight.

*Cough cough cough cough cough*

Monday Blues

It's a Monday, supposed to have tutorials today.

I went, met the elf and the wolf for breakfast and off to tutorial.

The classroom was changed, the tutor was late,

And when the tutor came, she asked if we had any questions.

Since she is a different person from our lecturer,

And she's not grading my paper, why would I consult her on my assignment,

And risk being confused?

So I sat around for about an hour and left together with elf.

How fruitful.

Not going for next 2 tutorials, I'd rather be at home trying to recover faster.

Heck the tutorials.
---------------------------
On a lighter note,

It's really amazing to get about 5 or 6 different versions of good morning sms-es.

But really I don't reciprocate the sweetness a lot,

Perhaps it's a good thing I'm not as expressive huh?

But we are on our way to exploring new frontiers and possibilities.

I am up for it.

Another chapter of a romantic novel begins.

Of Coughs & First Date

Despite my ailing cough, I decided to meet up for dinner.

After sneaking away from COT, it was a day out at City Hall.

Dinner went well at ichiban boshi,

Everything went well till my never-ending bout of cough came...

According to the timer, I coughed continuously for 20 minutes. Haha.

And so the guy sent me home after that in a cab.

Seriously, I met up with a guy not in my tip top condition and there was no awkwardness at all.

Good hitting it off for the first time.

Great stuff. =p

But it was still a nice date nonetheless.

Promise next time I'll be a better conversationalist, without the sore throat and coughs.

Till then!

Really great stuff. Hee hee.

Last day of Research Methodology Lecture!

Wahaha, we got our class jerseys, so it was class jersey day!

This is ELFY and me. Elfy's my table mate, she sits beside me in the first row.


My ultimate group work mates! We are famously known as BLOP! Inc.

And infamously known to always present first and set the bar standards high.


Of course, after some hard work, we have our crazy times!!


As you can see, one type of picture can have many versions... That's typical of our class.


Here's the football team of BLOP! Inc.! Cool hor?


I told you got many versions already...


And version no. 3...

Oh oh, this lecturer requires us to have name plates in class.

And it's up to our creativity how we want to decorate them.

The best ones get a prize.

Because my lecturer didn't know how to choose, he took a shot of all name plates.

And decided that he will go the art faculty back in campus to help him with the judging.


My mirror image of no. 15...


Class picture!


Candid shot..


Dr. J. and us!

You know, what seemed to be intimidating after reading the course syllabus seemed otherwise.

In the end? We got a Dr. J who could make research methodology fun and interesting.

In fact I think no one dozed off in class.

That's what you get, a lecturer who has been in the teaching line for 3 decades.

Oh yes, I can differentiate between my other right and other left now!

DANG!

Today marks day 9,

Last day of lectures.

HOORAY!

No more daily readings every night and quizzes every morning.

But I'll miss Dr. J though.

It's always when we start getting bonded to the lecturer that the lecture ends.

Well well, research methodology ain't really that scary as it is.

It can be pretty fun as well, with BLOP! Inc. of course.

On a sickly-ier note, I'm officially sick and voiceless.

I probably worked too hard over the last week and didn't get to rest over the weekend.

Now my throat is sore, my ears hurt and I communicate using hand signals.

And did I mention I cough till my stomach hurts?

BAH. I wanna get well soon!

For now my eyes wander about as I type, prolly due to medications.

Oh yes, will post up photos of cam-whoring as soon as my beloved classmates put them on facebook.

Till then!

It's a rest day tomorrow!

A Drag...

It's the 5th day into research methodology and,

VIOLA, headaches come.

Sleeping at 2am and waking up at 6.30am?

Bad bad timings.

Really I don't mind the daily mcq quizzes but,

It seems like the more I read, the lesser I know about research,

The more difficult it is to formulate a research plan.

Okay, perhaps research isn't my cup of tea.

A practical lesson on field observation today got us counting people at the mrt station,

From reading maps to using wide gate gantries.

Not fun, even if it was observing for a mere 20 minutes. GAH.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there are no lessons on SATURDAY!

But a packed weekend isn't quite welcome actually,

Especially with irritating people bugging you.

On a lighter note,

Reading a nice sms first thing in the morning when you open your eyes,

Can be really sweet. (:

Oops...

I just realized I haven't updated in a while considering how often I update my blog.

Ah well, the week before school was packed with tuition, meeting up with people,

And preparing for my new term as president.

It's 2 days into the new module and it has been slow moving...

The every morning quiz is fine, I'm don't mind them actually.

But the readings are high and dry. \:

For extra credit, I will read till my eye lids drop!

It's hard to get up in the mornings but really I prefer morning lessons,

It leaves me with more time thereafter, and time for cat-napping as well.

Lecturer's all white haired and bearded,

And kicks the table in a stylo-mylo way thinking that the projector can be lit up that way.

But lessons are alright so far, not extremely interesting nor fun.

Just slow moving with information overload!

ATTEN-SHUN!

In my attempt to stay away from the computer more often,

Because sometimes I sit down in front of it for hours clicking randomly,

I've started to do things I used to do in the past.

For example: watching tv, picking up a book to read, sitting in the living room, getting due exercise!

That's why I'm back to swimming my laps,

And you see me less often online!

Besides, I've been actively bringing my dogs for walks and training them on my ds... HAHA.

Sometimes it's good to be away from the computer,

Other things get your attention,

And suddenly you get reminded of how enjoyable simple pleasures can be. (:

Solitary

Today, or rather yesterday,

I did 2 things on my own.

First, add 10 laps to the swim clock.

Last check: 36.5 laps.

Currently: 46.5 laps.

I went swimming on my own again.

Since there was no one to talk to at the end of the pool,

I kinda completed my laps really quickly.

My next swim session, I shall complete 12/15 laps,

Depending whether I have the mood, or if I can tahan swimming zig zag...

Then later in the night,

I decided to catch Sex & the City.

Most people have already caught it so I thought I could try watching it alone.

One screening on Tuesday at 9.10pm,

Went to see it, at S$6.50,

Alone.

At first it felt a little weird that I was munching popcorn on my own,

Everyone else had someone to accompany them.

But after a while, it was a pretty good feeling.

I was actually spending time with myself,

I could concentrate on the show much better.

By the way, it's my first time watching a movie alone in the theatre, as in without anyone accompanying me...

When I was on my way home,

I thought I could probably do this more often.

Sometimes, solitary is not all that bad.
