The previous week was crammed with

*tests
*more tests
*homework
*special moments.

Even with a crazy timetable .. late nights .. long chats on the phone .. I can't keep from being awed by whats happened. To me, to you, to us. I still think everyday's a miracle, because I found someone who keeps me going. Never mind the psychic connection, never mind if we're going full-speed ahead. Heaven only knows how I lived before you came along.

So this coming week, there's

*presentations
*one ICA on Friday

but I'll take things as they come.

<3 my bear. joaquin/katovic/grizzly, all mine !

Astons, Evolution Square.

Yesterday .. I still don't know if it qualifies as a good day, or bad.

Morning, woke at 8.30qm and went cycling with my dad and sis from home all the way to Sembawang to see the bottle tree. It was an .. eh, arduous one :p (I hate slopes) and I didn't want to go, since I'm not a morning person nor do I like to get outdoors when it isn't raining =x

But my mum insisted, so no choice, we had bumpy roads and smooth ones .. met er .. people who had slow reactions (seriously, with 3 bells ringing behind you you'd think to move out of the way, or at least to the side wouldn't you?) But noo, there seemed to be a lot of slow people on the pavements yesterday.

Bottle tree area .. well its just a small bottle tree village just off Jalan Sini Kampung .. just off Sembawang MRT. We saw the bottle tree (me and my sister actually, the rest of my family had been there before) and I hugged the tree! Yay :D It's so big and round, just makes you want to hug it y'know? *pics tomorrow when I get them*

So anyways, after that we cycled to a coffeeshop and had breakfast .. I condemn Yan Yan Braised Duck Rice stall .. the kway chap super CMI! But the food there (nasi lemak, bak kut teh) is all expensive .. $4.50, even for the drinks. But it makes sense to raise the price when you're the only eating area in a ulu area where the only ones likely to go there are joggers or cyclists like we were.

Made it back home in time to bathe and rush out for forum outing with teh trolls! XD Ok so it was just Sinacy, Chukai, 5aaur and me, but I'd also invited my faction mate Marvin along, but more on that later. Anyway, I reached Dhoby Ghaut at around 1pm, then like a silly fool tried to reach Marvin for 15 mins .. after 3 calls he said he just woke up but would be on his way to The Cathy.

Sinacy decided on Astons Specialities for lunch, so the 4 of us walked over there, but not before uh .. very hyper introductions? I think on sin's part at least (he's a cute lil boy when he's not being annoying). Chu liked to mess my hair while 5aaur was uh .. a quiet rock. :p

Waited for an hour or so in the queue outside Astons .. the place is crampy. I got grilled fish with herbs, my side was fries and onion rings ($7.20):



















Chu had his with baked and mashed potato:



















I would say the fish is so-so. 5aaur and sin got steak, Marvin got teriyaki chicken, if I'm not wrong. Hot chocolate ($2.80) was bad, wasn't sweet at all and it tastes of too much powder. Sin stole my fries and onion rings, Marvin abused the poor chili sauce bottle and its really amusing to watch sin struggle with the steak. I know, I sound mean but really its funny =x

The four of us .. outside Evolution Square, a lan shop we went to after lunch:



















We stayed and played games for a while, then the 3 boys had to go off while Marvin stayed behind with me for CW. Then end up because of one joker who really very idiotic and cos some people wanted to do other things when we were supposed to assemble, Rune got mad and stayed mad thru the night, so nobody took part in CW.

Marvin sent me home after, then there were long msn chats .. I think my SENGP test today is gone case .. lack of sleep and tired in all sense of the word so .. yeah.

Whatever the both of you say, I still feel responsible. If I hadn't come up with the idea for outing in the first place, or suggested LAN or whatever nothing would have happened. As it is, i) YES I feel guilty ii) YES I'm aware I was being monopolised .. but tbh no I've no objections with it and iii) YES I know and I should have spent more time with you guys.

*and damn rainy days **damned mozzie bites ***I feel like selling my chars and quitting ****i need to buy kinder bueno later bcos i ran out of stock *****im jumping around SFA's tracklist trying to find a good track to repeat ******java, internet security tests tomorrow but fk it im gonna go nap

Lab fun~

Everytime Tuesdays loom near, I go into an emo mood, sorta. This week, today isn't helped that blues are on me already, so anything more puts me in an in-balance. Anyways, just wanted to share what happened during IT3505 lab today.

We were all logged on HeuCampus cos Mr Lim insisted that he would only take attendance from there, and then he started to pm us:





























































































As you can see .. Lue Song is quite the artist lols. We were playing around with pgp files, following the lecture on Cryptography, then this lab practical was just to test our understanding of the topic. About the beep thing .. we were supposed to hear a beep if the files were encrypted correctly, but nobody was sure how to.

SENGP presentation today .. ok, so last minute work sucks. Everyone knows that. Especially when someone's desktop crashes and I have to be the one who does the ppt slides with input from Notepad, because said someone's laptop has trial version of micro ppt so view is possible but not edit. Which was what I was doing late into the night yesterday,churning out the slides. Then because of timetables clashes, no time to rehearse (for Chris and me) this morning. So kena grill by teacher and can't answer = my fault? Who were the ones who let one whole week pass by without deciding anything and only giving me answers like "We'll discuss and let you know" Hell yeah, end up last minute scramble.

Shucks, 3 tests next week for me, all quizzes. Global Supply Chain ICA1 tomorrow and I'm not fully ready. Someone kill me.

Ok, the Cheese The Chicken I had before:















Chicken cutlets with a generous topping of hot mango sauce and nachos at the side, for deco. And I'm going to treat my sister to this IF she gets 10 and below for her O levels.

Food aside, school work crashing on me. I owe tutorials .. (I feel like giving a heck =x) like Gantt chart for SENGP which I've done but not emailed yet, 3505 lab prac which I honestly don't know i) my group ii) how to do it

And IBM Rational trial is like 2 GB.. if I get that I'll lag til the point I'm gonna literally quit GE .. gonna do that in school tmr.

2 ICAs next week. Uggh.
