Finally submitted our online newspaper today (yesterday? My days are a blur now...) I'm finally done with all my academic projects! Now I can officially declare this semester over! Yippie!!! :)
Camped out at Nat's house for the whole of last night to finish the website... crazy stuff. I spent almost 12 hours or maybe even more staring at stupid HTML. My poor butt was quite squashed after that. But it was quite fun in a way - the adrenaline rush and motivation to finish everything and all that. :D Think I'm not gonna dabble in HTML for the next two years at least. Hahaha.
I came home in the morning and went to sleep at 10am but was rudely woken up at 12pm and 2pm by irritating phone calls. Gah so annoying!!! After that I continued to sleep all the way till 6pm and then had to rush down to work coz I was running late. So basically 27th April 2007 didn't really exist for me, or at least it seemed like it didn't exist because I hardly saw any daylight. :D
Like I said, my days are a blur... And it doesn't seem to be getting any better too. Don't ask me how I am going to survive when I enter the job world. I hate mornings! I must really find a job with flexible hours. Hurhurhur.
Here's the fruit of our hard work, !Nside News. Courtesy of the module called NM2221 News Reporting and Editing, which was also the source of my many complaints throughout the semester... LOL. :) I must say that I haven't really contributed much to the making of this paper till the very last minute, but yeah I'm quite grateful that we managed to pull it off. Many thanks to Mark and Charmaine too! I understand that copy editing is not a very easy job... :D And the editorial team... and oh everyone else... spread the love hahaha. <333
Okay now that both my exams and projects are officially OVER, I can finally devote my time to my wonderful Korean dramas and oogling and fangirling... double yippie!!! :)
Exams over!!! *confetti and streamers* But I am not as excited about it as I thought I would have been. I guess the fun's in the anticipation and waiting! It's much more exciting to have a goal to look forward to. Hahaha. But I'm gonna start on my eyeball-popping lifestyle soon. I don't even know what to start watching first because I have soooooooo many things to watch! Overwhelming choices man... hahaha.
Nevertheless, I'm still relieved that exams are over, even though my suffering's been pretty short. But there's still the last lap to run -- I still have to work on the 2221 newspaper, eeks. :(
My day wasn't as torturous as I expected it to be. I guess it helped that I made myself sleep more the day before to make up for the loss of sleep. Haha it's only when you are young that you can abuse your body and still be able to function properly. I've been awake since 4pm yesterday and right now I'm surviving on the pockets of sleep that were stolen whenever I can afford the time to... which is around 2 hours of disjointed sleep in total? So I've been drifting in and out of Stage 1 and 2 sleep. Yes I am even consciously aware that I was in Stage 1 and 2 sleep. The Bio Psych is invading my life man.
And the amazing thing is that I am still not sleepy now. My circadian system is seriously screwed up. My recticular formation is not functioning properly! It is not secreting enough seretonin or whatever it is that makes you sleepy!
Anyway one of the short-answer questions that came up today for 3219 required us to compose a blog entry for the CEO of a fictitious company. Hahahaha. And I seriously didn't know what to write. I blog so much and I usually have all these nice little sentences floating around in my mind when inspiration strikes but I can't churn out an entry on demand! And the weather is crazy man. It's either damn hot or it rains. I got caught in the rain today (again) while running to the MPSH (because I was late). And speaking of running, I barely ran for 200m before I started feeling like an overweight hippo (OMG now hippo reminds me of hippocampus) and gasping for my breath. So unfit! Must. Start. Exercising!!!
Eh my sentences are like all over the place. Haha don't care lah synapses not firing properly or something. I'm gonna enjoy my life before I start looking for a job... I'm still holding out for the elusive internship offer... COME COME COME!
BTW... anyone for KTV? :D

I believe that I'm very very screwed!!! Haven't started on my SEA module at all, save for doing a few readings here and there. And the exam is in around 12 hours. Even if I spot questions, and even if I cram everything during the less-than-2-hours that I have in between papers... it's still damn screwed. And the weird thing is that I am not even feeling very anxious about screwing it up. Haha.
And I am also very mortified that the file that was around 80% completed is GONE. GONE!!! *cries*
Gonna be a walking zombie tomorrow...

BitTorrent rocks -- but only if it starts loading. I found Jiwhaza with Chinese subs on BitTorrent, yay!!!
Well Clubbox rocks too, but I can't find non-Shinhwa Chinese subbed stuff on Clubbox. So that's where BitTorrent comes in handy.
Oh dear this is not something that someone who is in the middle of exams should say. -____-"
(My legs are aching!)

Annyeong!
I've been keeping really horrible, horrible hours lately that don't quite fit into this timezone. Ironically, now I am studying about Sleep and Circadian Rhythms but I didn't find any rationalization about my unhealthy sleep cycle. Haha.
My exam's tomorrow and I am not even half done with my studying!!! Crap! I haven't read through all the stuff before the mid-term at all!!! RAWR!!! I'm busy trying to comprehend bombastic-looking brain jargon right now and I'm just gonna skip all the parts that look incomprehensible and hope that it won't come out tomorrow. Hahaha.
I can't wait for the 25th to come... because that is the day when I will gorge my eyes silly with countless K-dramas and all the videos from my HDD... which is quickly filling up. Now I think that I should have bought a HDD with a bigger capacity instead of a measly 80GB... storage space is never enough! Gonna have to save for a 300GB or maybe a 500GB one, or better still, a 1TB one! Hahahahaha. Okay that is nuts, but hey, storage space is never enough!
25th 25th 25th! My eyeballs will rot and I will probably turn into a semi-camatose state in front of the computer but who cares! Anything else looks a lot more appealing than studying now!
Wish me luck for my Bio Psych exam tomorrow... judging from my level of understanding right now, I think I need lots and lots and lots of it. :X

I was observing Hamster sleeping in a position somewhat like this:
Upright, curled in a ball (except with her eyes closed)
Then she slowly started to lean to her side...
Haha this doesn't capture it very well but it was to her side
Awww. So cute! Reminds me of how I sleep on buses/trains (i.e. upright then slowly leaning on some random person or the window/wall/etc.) Hahahaha.
The weather is mad. I feel super hot at night these few days. But last week it kept raining. I was drenched in the rain last Thursday and looked like a sorry piece of wet tablecloth.
School tomorrow, boohoo. I am a teensy bit worried about our online newspaper. And the fact that I feel like an imcompetent git next to all these knowledgable people doesn't help much. Ahh what on earth possessed me to apply for a position in the editorial board?!!!

I just pre-ordered my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from SingPost today... since they sent an email and a mailer to me... and since I got Half Blood Prince from them last time and there's free delivery... yeah so now all I have to do is to wait for 21st July to roll by!! :)
I am so broke... ahh $47.15!!! But luckily it's reading week next week then it's the exams... so I can just stay at home and not spend any money... hurhurhur.
Okay this semester has also gone to I-don't-know-where, time just flies by too quickly and I think I am done with all my assignments/projects/etc.
Oh. We still have the online newspaper. :( And I am not optimistic about Bio Psych at all. :(
Exams be gone! RAWR!

I am a genius! :D Or maybe not, but I saved myself from becoming thoroughly depressed coz my MP3 player refused to work today! And I thought it was damaged forever and I have no money to buy a new one!
What happened was that after I smart-aleckily reformatted the player, I plugged it back only to realize that it kept popping up a "File Error" message. And it wouldn't play!!! Luckily I just had a flash of brilliance and reformatted it again, but this time round I chose this FAT option instead of FAT32. And it worked! But I don't know what FAT32 or FAT is though. :D
Okay I must finish my White Paper today! *grits teeth* MUST MUST MUST!
On a completely unrelated note, the fur on Hamster's butt is turning grey. Is this a sign of ageing?! I don't like the grey fur. :(

Bathtime is a good time for sorting things out...
I was having an inner debate with myself on whether or not... I should get a Shinhwa glowstick. *faint* HAHAHA. Yes I can see all your eye-rolls now. Actually I am quite appalled by myself too. :x 21-year-olds shouldn't be wasting brain cells on stupid things like glowing sticks! There are greater and better things to waste brain cells (and money) on right?
Ahh the struggles between the level-headed and the ditzy fangirl...

The Fangirl: Ooooh Shinhwa glowing stick!Dammit. Somebody please tug me back to reality.
The Rational One: I can't believe you are actually thinking of spending your hard-earned money on a stupid stick that does nothing but glow.
The Fangirl: But it'll make me happy!
The Rational One: Don't be dumb. What purpose does it serve?! You'll just keep it somewhere and only use it if Shinhwa ever comes again for a concert. And that is a rather far-fetched IF.
The Fangirl: But it's in orange!
The Rational One: -KNOCKDOWN!-
That little technical glitch has been resolved... I don't know why last night the memory space wouldn't free up... but today I tried reformatting the bloody thing and it worked. So yay! :) All is good. :)
Interestingly my day started out as a potentially disastrous day... waking up at 10.15am for my 11am tutorial (I need louder alarm clocks), realizing that my concession pass expired when I tried to tap my card at the gantry, having to take a cab to school from Harbourfront again (expenses!!! expenses!!!) and then arriving half an hour late for my tut... but I managed to get home early after my project meeting - plus the added weight of my CEO speech and White Paper on my mind. Boo.
Love idyllic Monday afternoons... well actually I love idyllic afternoons when nobody is at home... hurhurhur. Just me and the nice quiet house. And a nice cup of bubble tea. And my I-don't-understand-but-I-still-like-to-listen Korean songs. And my cute Hamster. Ahhh... this is the life. :)

Ahhhhh!!! Something's wrong with the USB port!!! When I delete files off my MP3 player or memory card it doesn't free up the space on the hardware!!! And I can't load new songs in!!! What's happening?!?!?!
Or does the problem lie with the MP3 player? But I plugged in a memory card reader and deleted all my files off the memory card and yet it still claims that the card is full!!! Now I have no music! RAWR!!! I want to listen to my SG Wannabe!
And die lah I have no motivation to do my White Paper... and it doesn't help that it's so bloody difficult to write!!! :( After two days of trying to cough out words from my very dried up word-store I only wrote like 1 page. So inefficient! :(

Yay, it's Good Friday! The one and only confirmed Friday of the year where I don't have to waste 2.5hrs of my life at work... haha. :)
Friday freedom!!! :)
The glorious, glorious weekend! :)
And last night I dreamt that I attended a Shinhwa concert!!! ^^;
Ugh, I'm getting real irritated with YouTube... they're suspending accounts left right and centre! All the accounts where I get my video fixes... suspended! The favourite videos I have... suspended! Bah!
Here's one of SG Wannabe's tragic MVs... and I'm addicted to the song in the first video... sounds so folk-sy in front haha.
Nae Saram (Partner for Life)
Neurimbo (Slow)
(Synopsis: Gangster hires someone to kidnap lawyer's wife, but it turns out that lawyer doesn't care two hoots about his wife. Heart-of-gold thug and lawyer's wife develop feelings for each other and the ending is... well like I said previously, borderline ridiculous. But yeah, let's just accept the world the way it is. LOL.)

SG Wannabe is freaking awesome! And I'm not saying this just because Dongwan acted in one of their MVs. :D
After listening to them and then going back to Shinhwa, it feels like SG Wannabe's on a completely different platform! I think I'm gonna change my entire playlist from Shinhwa to SG Wannabe!...
...okay I won't, because I still need my Shinhwa fix. Hahaha. Ahhhh 256MB is so insufficient for me!!!
And their MVs! SG Wannabe's MVs are damn tragic! The trend is geared towards gangsters and people getting beaten up and someone will always die. So violent. And tragic! (and some parts are borderline ridiculous.)
It's like some mini-drama and one song is never enough. No, they must split the whole story into two or more parts and there will be guns and human bashing and damsels in distress, etc etc. I saw one on YouTube with a smash-chair-into-window-display-and-steal-dress-for-girl scene... just like F.I.R's 我们的爱!

Usually the daily horoscope thing in the papers is really crappy and nonsensical but today's horoscope seemed to speak out to me...
And thanks to Digital Life, I realized the existence of this Firefox extension called IE Tabs which means I don't ever have to open an extra IE window just for Clubbox! Woot! :D
ScorpioWah freaking true or what?! Especially with my week turning out to be super slack with classes cancelled and deadlines extended... Maybe I should heed some random clairvoyant's well-meaning advice huh? Ommmmm.
"Procrastination can be addictive, especially if you do not nip it in the bud right from the start. It is time to tackle any looming deadlines sooner rather than later. You will breathe a sigh of relief afterwards."

Nothing new except that I've been feeling bloated and constipated for the past few days. Haha useless trivia.
And yay after handing up my crisis communication plan and my SEA project (which was very last-minute work) I feel damn slack hahahaha. Spent the weekend catching up with my Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Amazing Race and America's Next Top Model. Hurhurhur.
Plus my class tomorrow got cancelled so I can wake up late! WHEE!!! Gonna watch Manwon Happiness now. :)
Oh and I learnt a new word - 행복 (haeng bok). I keep hearing it in songs, when people talk, etc etc... especially songs. It's like every other songs I hear this: "dkfdslfkjsdf 행복 kfjsdfsdfsf" hahaha. And then I will go "Oh! They just said 'happiness' (or maybe 幸福 is a more accurate translation?)".
