- I'm breaking all protocol (self-imposed :p) that I've had for the past... eleven-ish weeks of work and blogging at work. Yes, because I have not the time (or the restraint) to blog at home when I have so many things to do online, most of which I'm shamefully neglecting :(
Yes but I have a lot to chatter on about, so bear with me... -grins-
The past few weeks have been pretty whirlwind. I keep thinking I'll pay off that infernal sleep debt on weekends and end up sleeping even less because of the even more infernal inclination of my body to wake up no later than 7:45AM. -cry- like for instance just the last Saturday gone by I caught Transformers finally before it swept out of cinemas with Kheng Hui, Kai Ting and Victor and then Jo met me for lunch + Kbox (woohoo) and then we went walking around for a bit before going home. Out for 10 hourish, slept not a lot. x.x am trying not to go out on weekdays unless absolutely necessary -wry- because 1. my wallet has a hole the size of... I have less wallet than hole now. 2. I'm just so tired! I seem to have a perpetual ache in the head that's persuasively seducing me to take days off (I refuse to give in, ten more days!) 3. Did I mention I have no money? :p
Yesterday mom brought us to East Ocean again! My favourite place for dimsum ^^ I made reservations for 12, so we thought getting a seat would be no problem, right? That was a rhetorical question, by the way. :p The entire lobby was packed - apparently everyone else and their family reunion had reservations too, the restaurant was so crowded even the fish were squeezed out of their tank. Word of caution - tread not those hallowed floors on Sunday, or prepare to be squished. Between the ah mm's and the children running amok - BLEH. I hatesh waiting and I hatesh waiting in unpleasant environment even more. But but but! the redeeming factor! They brought back the cute little animal dimsum! *cue squeals* They had one set in briefly over CNY and I was so sad to see them disappear :( but now another series is back! It's a surefire way to endear yourself to the waitress ("I want one tortoise, one porcupine, one cobra...") and really, they are so adorable. Granted, the butterfly looked a little... dodgy. But it was quite nice nonetheless. *beams* I did like the tortoise (shrimp paste for body + long beans for legs + mushroom as a shell) even though my cruel brother plucked off its head, impaled it on a toothpick and stuck it in the teapot spout. I remember he did it last round when there was a dog dimsum and the head was made of material similar to the skin of char siew baos and whatnot. :(
It's 8:45... Why can't they open the pre-bidding exercise EARLY? (I realise the irony.) Next sem seems rather sad. Am so far taking Finance, Accounting Information Systems, Legal somethingorother, and, er. Asia Pac somethingorotherthatinvolveseconsbleh. So that leaves one more module - I'm considering three... Singapore Society, Intro to Cybercrime and Biz Communications. One fulfils the SS req, one the science GEM req and the other is my core module. :( I have a couple more days to decide, anyway... Still a little upset I couldn't take Intro to Computing because THAT clashes with Asia Pac lecture. If I'd taken Management Science it'd clash with THAT exam. Other than that, my timetable looks pretty sweet. If I don't take the cybercrime module... -contemplates- I'll probably get Monday off (can never tell with the tutorials, et al) and the rest of the days are contained within 9 - 4. The great thing about going to school from work is you think hey, 9 is so cool, I can wake up at 7 instead of 5:45 and woohoo that's an extra 75 min of sleep GOODBYE EYEBAGS. And yea ending at 4 is pretty much like 90 minutes off work :p and hey, there are more breaks at school...
Ten more days of work, ten more days of work, hang in there... I feel my sanity slipping (slipped?) away!
Screw the school admin. I just tried to bid and they tell me I do not meet the requirements for Asia Pac?! I panicked and checked CORS (I might have missed something, after all...) and the pre-reqs are BSP2001. This is so screwed because I CANNOT TAKE BSP2001. They made the accounting students take EC2102 (pukes and dies) as a BREADTH so that we could free up one more precious space for another death-by-boredom accounting module. Ugh, my head is trying to spontaneously combust. Every sem they throw spanners the size of tanks in my plans! First sem they didn't allow us to take the normal IT module. Next sem they forced us to take EC2102 and now they're messing with my timetable again! I hope some indignant accounting scholar is taking it up with the school right now. Pffts.
Pffts. Check back in two hours? -glares and mutters and curses-
