Today's the due date for my CH1101E - Introduction to Chinese Studies essay..

The topic was, 治史的目的与方法：从《国史大纲。引论》谈起. Seriously, it was hell for me.. Really feel like dropping the module at that very instance.. Somehow, I regret not paying attention when my primary school teacher was going through hanyu pinyin.. Thankfully, Yuan Hong helped me out with the typing of the essay today.. Thks, Yuan Hong! ^_^ If not, I dun tink I can ever complete the assignment..

The word limit of this essay was 3,500words, but I only managed to come up with 1,300+ words.. Seriously, that was my limit.. I just hope that I won't be marked down too badly for this.. T^T Anyway, it's all over now.. Well.. at least for the time being.. *Sigh..

Just to explain..

The previous entry was written at arnd 1.50am on Sunday, 21 Oct. So, the 'today' I was referring to was Saturday.. I just realised that the time was not reflected on my blog.. ^_^

Anyway, I somehow has gotten into the habit of including at least 1 pic into every entry of mine.. But believe me..this trend won't last long.. Soon.. my passion will run out & I won't be so diligent in writing the entries.. But nevertheless, this will be a good way of keeping a record of what I do each day.. ^_^

I have to go sleep now.. Promised my sis that I will wake up early to have breakfast together with my parents..
P/S: Mind it! Though my sis are all younger than I'm, they are the real 'bosses' in my family.. ^_^

Time: 4.17am

The interview for the Work & Travel USA was today..

Assuming that the instructed dress code - smart casual attire = no slippers, I went in high heels that was covered with dust when I dug it out from under the pile of shoe boxes that were long forgotten in the storeroom. Goodness know when's the last time I ever wore heels..

It's really a torture to the feet.. I should have just gone ahead with the initial idea of wearing slippers to the interview.. Most likely no one will even notice them under the jeans.. Sigh.. Too late for regrets now since the damage is already done.. T^T

Anyway, the interview was actually easier than thought.. I suppose they are really recruiting quite a huge number of people, coupled up with the fact that it is rather hard for most to actually be able to fulfil the min working period of 3mths.. I'm going for it but as the working duration is from 18 May to 17 Aug, it means that I'll have to miss at least 1.5wks of lessons, provided that the first week of the semester is Oweek. But I suppose I won't be the only one doing so.. For this company that I'm joining - Seaworld Orlando, they only allow us to report either on 4 May or 18 May.. No NUS student will be able to make it for the first choice since it crashes with our exam period..

The only sad thing is that we won't be able to extend our stay in the US after our working period, just purely for the sake of travelling.. But nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to this trip.. Hope that the date of departure can come soon.. ^_^

Just took on a post for the faculty publications today.. Seriously wondering if my std of English can make it.. +_+" But I suppose it will be a fun experience.. & maybe can make use of this opportunity to get to know more people.. kinda sad.. cos dun have any close friends in the same modules as I'm doing.. Sigh..

Anyway, today's entry is just kind of random.. ^_^

P/S: I bought the teddy bear in M'sia a couple of years back. When I carried it through customs, the officer even asked me if it has a passport. Haha.. I guess their job is so boring that they need a laugh now and then..

Jus gotten back my first philosophy essay.. haha.. the result was far better than what I would expect.. Considering it was a last min work..

This paper was due on the Monday right after recess week.. Right till Sunday, I was still indecisive on on which topic I should do.. Well.. I have always been quite fickle-minded ^_^ Anyway, after considering that I had read 'Euthyphro' much more thoroughly than I had to 'Meno', I suppose choosing that topic would be a better choice..
P/S: To those who read this post and dun get what's Euthyphro and Meno, they are basically dialogues written by a philosopher named Plato, and believe me, it's good that you have never read them cos the convo just keep going around in circles so you will just get all the more confusing after reading them. Putting it simply, you may say that they are just a waste of time.

Anyway, back to my essay.. I only started writing it at around 2am and completed it at 5.30am.. Luckily for me is that I have no lessons on Mondays so after spending a mere 5 min to hand the essay in (not including the time I took to travel la..), I just went home to my beloved bed.. ^_^

So, with that amount of time I really devoted to this assignment, 16/25 which constitutes to a B grade is considered good enough for me.. The worrying thing is that there's a 2nd one coming up which is due on 5th Nov.. T^T Sigh.. Why do lecturers love giving essays as assignments so much???

Have been using Live Journal till now.. (though only one post there still.. :P) Feeling kinda guilty about that so thought that maybe it'll be good to have a change of environment..

Life hasn't been very happening recently.. The only thing worth mentioning will be the loss of my voice.. Started coughing on Sun then infected throat on Mon and no voice on Tue.. Instead of medicine, I turned to KFC for help.. Maybe none may believe but the method of using poison on poison does help.. Well.. at least it works for me.. ^_^ Not forgetting all those spicy stuff that I took in the past couple of days (including a curry baked rice from Pizza Hut)

Sigh.. Life's so wonderful.. ^_^
