CLDDS Chalet 2009 ^o^

Think I haven't been to chalet for quite some time already, I just joined my CLDDS juniors this Monday and Tuesday at Downtown East Coasta Sands.

More juniors turned up for the chalet as compared to last year, but as for seniors, there's only me from my batch and Wynne, Yangzhi and Danny from the 2006-07 batch.

考完试后的十天...

在过去的几天里连唱了三次卡拉OK，上星期六与初院中文学会的学弟妹们，刚过去的周一与中文系的同学，周二则与大学宿舍结交的好友，三回总共与将近三十人哼唱！唱歌的人有很多种，有坐在一旁听的，有坐在一旁跟着唱的，有制造气氛的，有疯狂的，有抢麦克风的，有切别人歌的，有跳过别人歌的... 我认为我是有机会就唱，没机会也罢，偶尔制造一些气氛的，希望不会被别人列入“不想一起K歌的对象”的黑名单。

这学期的试考完已接近十天了，在家无所事事，每天懒洋洋地起床后便看看杂志，翻翻报纸，上上网... 在学弟妹的推荐下在网上试看了由罗志祥与杨丞琳台湾偶像剧《海派甜心》，自己蛮喜欢的，而且还看上了瘾！小猪扮丑饰演单纯又害羞的香菇头，杨丞琳则饰演性格孤僻，没朋友的“暴走女”，挺新鲜的！也开始觉得可爱的杨丞琳凶起来咬牙切齿的模样更可爱！罗志祥也“傻”得讨喜！这样的搭配好另类哦！

本想考完试松懈一些的，可以多看些平时少看的偶像剧和综艺节目，但父母开始唠叨了。我当然知道读书是很重要的，我也知道我慢别人半拍，但我也像别人一样需要一些喘气的时间！还好下个星期有些活动可以忙了，不必天天被唸了！

The BEST Pearl Milk Tea in Singapore!!!

YES!!! I've finally found it!! It was reported quite long ago in i-weekly, but then I only managed to find it yesterday!! It's KOI-Cafe which sells bubble tea, very authentic from Taiwan coz it's a franchised or chain outlet in Singapore...

It's not cheap though, a 500ml cup of pearl milk tea costs $2.40 and 720ml costs $3.50, other drinks are more expensive (except for those green tea /red tea drinks). But it is a must drink!! There're about 3 branches in Singapore and I went to the one at Chinatown yesterday. Btw I went to Chinatown with Mr Tan, TYS and FYS. Then... For a health conscious you you can get your drink with 70% / 50% / 30% or 0% the original sugar level, with / less / without ice. Most likely the guy taking your order is a Taiwanese... Back to the point, their pearl milk tea is just fantastic!! Milky, very 香 and the pearl rocks!! Just like those in Taiwan!!! That cup really made my day yesterday!!!^o^

Another not-so-bad substitute is Cup Walker, can find it at E!Hub and Pasir Ris MRT and a 700ml cup costs only $1.60!! It's slightly diluted as compared to KOI Cafe's but the taste is not like those fake and cheapo kind you guy from Sweet Talk!

Realise that I'm getting poorer in uni!! Seems that I'm eating quite a lot of good food and putting on some weight also! With limited allowance I think I can't afford to shop that much liao, can't always touch my bank account also... I just spent $36 on 梁文音 and 萧敬腾's albums, then $30+ on sports stuff, and around $20+ on food stuff, also exchanged for some NT$ so I can pay SG for the things he helped me buy in TW... I'll try to find a way to earn $$ next holiday=/

Anyway I came across this product at the Tampines 1 blog and bought one bottle back to try, it's damn nice!! Black sesame spread which is not so sweet and very 香!!! It's $9.60, a bit ex but made in Japan and tastes damn nice! I'm a sesame lover so I'm willing to pay for it!!=)

Can tell how much weight I put on just by this blog entry right? 70% talking about food stuff!=)

Finally, it's OVER!!

I'm so glad that my exams for this semester are over!! Exams are torturing and my useless brain is becoming more and more useless each time I try to memorise some new stuff! And sad to say my brain's memory and ram are not expandable, no matter how much pig brain soup I drink I think they're going to be useless on me=(

To sum up my first time taking exams in NTU, they're quite sucky. First is the seating arrangement for me who has extra time because of my eye problem. I'll make sure I'll shoot them with an email when I'm free so they can place me at a quieter corner of the exam hall next time.

Next, the papers!! The 4-AU HC201 paper shall be the one which pull my GPA down by a lot because whatever I tried to remember in the past four days doesn't seem to enter my brain=( It's purely memorising work to do regarding history of Chinese Literature which I totally suck at it!! So how?? Bopian~ lor~ Exams are over anyway...=)

HC102 (Chinese Language) was tricky man~!! I revised a few times but some parts are just so tricky until I fell into my teacher's traps!! I really hope I can do well for this paper as I like the teacher very much... Good results should be my way of thanking him, but then don't think I'll be capable to make him proud=( But won't do that bad as compared to HC201 lah~! =)

HC101 (Chinese Literature) is the one which I could bring in the hand-written piece of A4 paper into the exam hall... Wrote quite long, had points, just hope that I didn't answer out of point...

I'm so glad exams are over!!! Haven't been home since mid November... And after my paper I went to Jurong Point to enjoy my favourite Xiao Long Bao at Crystal Jade!! Also had a random NeoPrint just now after so~ long~!!

Please Please Please Give Me Decent Grades!!! Hopefully everybody will be surprised with their HC201 results...

Exams 来了!!

Exams are ongoing and I choose to stay in hostel coz I won't study at home=/

I had my Econs paper on Thursday, studied for quite long, tried to understand those difficult chapters but ended over-estimating the paper. It appears to be easy, but then I was too nervous while doing, so my thoughts couldn't flow well, can't even think properly how to do a Price Elasticity of Demand question!=( Sheat!!

Monday's HC101, lecture notes are not too useful coz there're more questions than points! It's a partial open book, we can bring in a one-sided hand-written A4 paper, so I've squeezed in writings to the max!! Will definitely use a magnifying glass!! Wednesday's HC102 which I really hope to do well (but I think no chance le...-.-'''); following Monday is the suckiest HC201 paper which requires lots of memorising work!!!=(

Jiayou la POK!! Must survive through!!=)

After exams you've got lots of things to do!!!^o^

Why didn't my mum nag at me this weekend?
Why didn't my dad keep psycho-ing me to go out and makan with them?
Why did my mum bought me bird's nest?
Why did I eat dinner at home yesterday when I usually don't?
Why didn't I feel so sian being at home this weekend?

They probably don't wanna stress me too much during exams?
They probably wanna leave me alone to do my stuff coz I'm mature enough?
They probably wanna give me good food so I can study well and won't feel too tired?
They probably wanna make me feel that home's the best place to be at?

I think I haven't been working hard enough...
I think I shouldn't take their care and concern for granted...
I think I should convince myself to study more and do better so I won't let them down...

Hopefully I won't do badly for the exams...
Hopefully my results won't be something they'll use to nag at me in future...

Thankfully, I'm not alone.

当 普通朋友 那就这样吧

内心的快乐=表面的快乐x 100。刚过去的5个周日里我大部分时间与几名Hall 2的朋友们度过，一起读书，一起玩乐，一起吃喝，一起闲聊。一起跑步，一起拍照，一起分享！本来心情相当失落，但在与他们连续度过了快乐的五天后，我好了一些。

只不过我有些害怕。害怕这些快乐美好的日子会不再有。也许过了明年我们都不能继续住在宿舍了。我会超想念大家，校园生活又会变得沉闷，无趣，无情，深具竞争力，大家斗个你死我活！这就像是从天堂掉落到深渊，现在像是在天堂，但我不知道该怎么面对深渊。

《那就这样吧》，《普通朋友》和《当》是我们这几天听得较多的歌。为了鼓励朋友多听中文歌，我还为朋友抄歌词！希望我们有一天能一起唱着这些歌，让大学生活有些值得珍惜的时刻。

To you all, I wanna say thank you!=) I really treasure the times we've spent together. Why sound as if I'm leaving all of you already? I just wanna show my appreciation to you all lah!! I don't know how un-interesting uni days would be if I have not known you all=/

美好的东西，希望每一天多一点点！
