UGGGHHHHHH. HORRIBLE....

cannot understand why firms, be it listed companies [read: worth millions] or SMEs can use such horrible... music... i'm talking about the music that plays when you're being asked to hold on while being transferred.

then again, i'm not even sure what they use qualifies as music. its a cacophony of dings and dengs and dongs masquerading as music.

was wondering how it was possible that i could possibly hve an archive for the month of oct and nov 2007, since that was like the a level exam period.

turns out... the october entry (yes, there's only 1) was to announce that i'd be MIA til after A's and november entries were made after A's itself.

ok, i know that was random. its what bordeom can do to me. arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Some NTU admission section that i filled up:

Personally, and in all frankness, my life is not particularly eventful. There have not been any drastic changes. There are no character-moulding great failures nor compelling achievements to my name. While i acknowledge that i may potentially be committing NTU-Admission suicide, simultaneously i would like to share an insight gained from a trip to the nearby mall.

It may have been a couple of years ago, but i will always remember her face. That wrinkled and weather-worn face showed nothing but fatigue and sorrow. At some point in time i wondered if she had suffered the loss of kin or some great injustice but i never got the chance to ask. I did not do much for her. All i did was to gently take the large bulging shopping bag from her frail, bony hands and guide her across the road to her destination. A near-toothless smile and eyes that sparkled with tears suddenly turned her into a woman i nearly could not recognise! She did not say anything, but her eyes spoke of her gratitude in her place while she grasped my hands tightly.

It is not just the paper chase, scholastic achievements or the pursuit of a brilliant career that are important and define who we are.

Take the time to slow down and notice your surroundings. Small incidents and gestures can be just as meaningful.

university admissions are... difficult to complete.

especially if your computer is lagging. ugh! i tried NUS once, it hung in the middle, but thankfully it stopped hanging after about 10mins. NUS doesn't have a save option, so i guess you have to complete it all at one go.

it was around 12 at that time already, because i had dance lessons after work and reached home around 11. Was i bloody PISSED OFF!! [yup, i have a bad temper, especially when i'm tired] In the end, i din fill in the about me section. Hopefully that doesn't cause me to lose a place in NUS...

then i tried NTU after that, it also hung so i gave up initially. but my mum kept nagging me so i tried again. I was so glad to see that NTU did have a save option.

After that i went to office of admins to find out about their financial aid schemes... yup, they require alot of declarations here and there, so in the end i gave up too.

CONCLUSION: try applying on a weekend or when you have nothing better to do.

Migraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Migraine is a neurological syndrome that can cause a wide range of symptoms during an attack. The most commonly thought of symptom is headache.
It is widespread in the population. In the U.S., 18% of women and 6% of men report having had at least one migraine episode in the previous year with seriousness ranging from an annoyance to a life-threatening and/or daily experience.

The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek hemicrania, as does the Old English term megrim. Literally, hemicrania means "half (the) head".

Usually migraine causes episodes of severe or moderate headache (which is often one-sided and pulsating) lasting from four to 72 hours, accompanied by gastrointestinal upsets, such as nausea and vomiting, and a heightened sensitivity to bright lights (photophobia) and noise (phonophobia).

conclusion: i think i'm going to take mc.

i'm feeling a little... annoyed for some reason which i dunno why.

today my boss said something really moronic, and i got so mad that i did something really rude. Interrupted him and gave him a piece of my mind. he seemed to contemplate it but regarded me all the same. when i went back to my seat, couldn't help but think if there was something bothering me.

something that beneath it all was still bothering me and thus making me moody or easily agitated. but can't think of anything. while i confess to having a short fuse, my temper has never been that bad. although i find it increasingly harder and harder to control, be it at home or at work.

am i becoming insane? (i already am right?) or rather, am i becoming sane? sometimes i dun even know why i'm angry or annoyed with someone! -.-

maybe i need to see a shrink, or look up psychology textbooks... or maybe three years from now the subject matter for my thesis would be abnormal psychology and i'd be the test subject...

slacking around on a sunday morning... that, plus a cup of hot english breakfast and cao ge, dai pei ni or even jie lun = BLISS.

although its not often that i get to do that.

sunday mornings usually start off with a sudden jolt out of dreamland by my mum who believes that everything should be done in the morning.

the first jolt is followed by the second out of lala-land at about 11 when i'm sitting at my table drawing, reading, or simply day-dreaming. it usually has something to do with packing my room or the NEAT but unfortunately tall pile of mags on the dining table.

*sigh* not exactly enjoyable -.-

speaking of jolts and surprises, on wednesday i got a really big jolt that destroyed my peace. my dad kindly informed me that the a level results would be released on the 7th. yup, lagging eunice only found out on wednesday -.- -.- -.-

was late[surprise?] on friday and reached school after the principal finished her presentation.

results were a surprise as well because some grades were pretty unexpected. but at least it was a pleasant jolt that came with a tingly sensation.

on saturday went to an open house with zhu da ge, her cousin, wanling and christel. We just went around to have a look at the place but lets not not name the university in question because... lets just say the presenter came as an unexpected AND unpleasant jolt.

this week was really full of jolts both pleasant and not... hopefully next week would be slightly more normal, because i fear the possibility of heart failure. -.-

yay! i'm getting a new computer! or rather my cousin recently replaced his set and is giving me the old one. it may be old, but at this point in time i should think that anything is better than the set i'm using now. lols.

when its hooked up i'll be able to use... msn again. will probably need to clear the metre-thick layer of dust in my msn account which was inactive since... the start of j2? and wun need to wait 5 mins for my computer to finish starting up so that it won't hang.

finally! i won't be a hermit anymore!!!

ahaha.

sounds kind of funny... hermit.

work ended last week. i am so glad that i will not have to wake up early for at least a week... but then there's a ton of stuff that piled up while i was working but had no time to do... like stuff from the unis which by the time they're opened and read they're already outdated. like the ntu open house advert -.- -.- -.- or cleaning up my sister's messy portion of the table... changing the sheets (which i did today.)

looking for other new job offers, since i haven't called my friend for the job at sgx yet -.- maybe i won't be resting much after all.

sigh.
