ASSIGNMENTS ARE MY BIGGEST ENEMY.



They make me groan and stress and sleep deprived whenever the due date is looming near.



I could even feel a heavy weight on my chest and it was so suffocating I wanted to throw up. Talk about anxiety turned bad.



I've been frantically working over my adult intervention assignment since Monday and the journals are so hell-bent to hide from me that it took me countless sleepless nights just to get all the materials I need!



After that it was taking all my brain power to piece and thread all the information together to produce a quality review. But with the speed I was moving I found myself working like a mad cow in the library until the very last minute of the due date =.="



I wonder if it's us Chinese being kiasu or what, but my coursemate passed up her assignment at 2k words even though the word limit was 3k and there I was trying my best to flush as many words as I can into the essay to make it hit the number "3" at the word count =.="



WHY WE ASIANS SO KIASU HAR?? WHY AH?



I made the 3k words alright. And made a mad dash to throw the assignment in before they closed the door to the department.



A wave of exhilaration just washed over us after housemate and I dropped our assignments into the pigeon hole and we felt so relieved!



Housemate started laughing uncontrollably and I was infected too. I swear everyone who saw us thought we were insane.



All these stress-induced keesiao-ness just for an assignment!?! Yes I also think we have no life, haih.



Both of us laughed all the way to the car and hopped in and drove straight to Mc D.



WE WANT REWARDS!



We bought ice cream and relaxed while we nom-ed on our reward. And after that we flew home to drop our stuffs and zoomed out again to the nearest liquor store before it closed.



Housemate got beer and I got myself a bottle of Vodka.



After that, we treated ourselves to Thai food at a newly opened restaurant in our suburb. Food was so-so but housemate and I were too delirious to notice the food quality because ASSIGNMENT WAS OVER!



The last thing we did was to have a toast back home and sat back on the sofa to watch gossip girl.



It's funny how post-assignment effects can make two absolutely sane person go gaga for a moment. As much as we despise the grief assignments bring, nothing can compare to that exhilarating feeling you get the moment you place your assignment through that pigeon hole.



Assignments. Beer. and Gossip Girl.





This is life for me now. And I'm happy =)






Skyped with boyfie after celebration. + another happy!

Mom just called me to tell me boyfie dropped by to pass her some mooncake earlier.

It was so unexpected I was really surprised.

He's been on the phone with me few times today but he never mentioned anything about it. We were even just talking 30 minutes before he went over to my place!

As I'm typing he's still at work. Everyday he's been doing over time until midnight that he doesn't even have time for himself or his family! How sad is that :(
I was really shocked that he actually took the effort to leave office for a while and drove all the way to my place to pass the mooncake he bought from Equatorial Hotel earlier today to my family and returned to work.

Yes, he even placed much thought into getting quality moonccakes and not the commercial ones. How crazy is that??? I always just settled for dai tong or kam lun tai swt.

To be honest none of my exes have ever been so thoughtful.Not to say so caring and considerate that they will attend to my family even when I'm not around. This really makes me think what kind of guys have I been dating? seriously.

Sometimes the most simple gesture to show you you're not forgotten can really warm your heart...even though we're oceans apart.

Tell me how can I not fall for this boy? ♥


consequences of procrastinating

IT'S ALMOST 3 P.M. HERE AND I'M STILL STUCK IN THE LIBRARY DOING WORK AND DEPRIVED OF LUNCH.

why is it so easy to spend hours on fb and twitter and so tormenting to just spend 10 minutes writing a paragraph on my assignment? :'(

oh god, please let me re-wire my brain in times of need.


I am conducting a classic extrinsic motivation scheme on myself now where I will only receive a reward (lunch) after I have achieved my goal (finish covering atleast 2 disorders required in the paper).

FOOD IS WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO DO WORK NOOOWWW.

I truly wonder if anyone is born hardworking or does everyone go through the same struggle as me? I find myself doing this more and more often these days where I would deprive myself of a meal until I manage to reach a certain point in my assignment. In return, I do produce work at the end of the day (most of the time) and I've also managed to mess up my meals.

Oh boy.

Sometimes I don't even take breakfast, end up having lunch at 4 p.m. and eating dinner at 9. Dinner becomes optional in the end because I'm not even hungry but I still maintain my food intake to not lose whatever precious fats I have left in me.


OK lah, I am obviously writing here to avoid work again. Back to boring assignments *drops head on table*

counting down the hours

He'll be back today. Finally ♥

We've been surviving on hotel wifis and roaming for the past 2 weeks.

In my past relationships I've been so accustomed to being alone when they're away that I didn't mind if he didn't contacted me throughout the trip. Because I thought that's how it should be and that's how I should take it.

But I'm glad he did. Every single day while he was away.

Previously, the others would come back with gifts, just to let me know that they still thought of me while they were travelling.

But I guess even luxurious gifts will never beat the effort one puts to stay in touch with you everyday =)

those 3 words

I used to wonder what it would be like if someone would say "I love you" to me every hour of the day.



Would't it get boring?



Wouldn't the words lose their magic?



We know that too much of something is always not good. Too much money and it loses it's value. Too much attention and a person gets a false sense of self-worth. Too much make-up and you end up looking fake.



And so in the relationships before I always avoided saying "I love you" too much. I didn't want to flood my lover with too much love. I didn't want the words to lose their meaning one day.



I didn't want to seem clingy even though I do feel that way about the person every minute of the day.





It was as if I imposed a quota on how much love I should express in a day.





But now I do believe that these 3 words are the only thing in this world that will never lose their meaning no matter how often you say them.





Say them when you mean them and it will give the person you love the strength they need.



Even if it means every minute, every hour, or every day. Say them as long as you feel it and the words will grow in the person who receives them.





I wished for a person who would tell me he loved me every single day.



And I got more than what I bargained for.





Now I know what it's like to hear these words more often than I could ever imagine.



And I know that it is impossible to ever grow tired of them.





Thank you, for proving that to me.



I love you baby :)
