After reading Tingting's entry, i realized that i got the same symptoms as her when studying Cognitive Development Psych!!!
- Draggy!!!! (b4 opening the book and when reading the chapters). I wonder isit b'cos of the 4 column style or because of the super naggy and loOoong chapters. It's so hard to sustain attention when reading and it makes completing 1 chapter a great and tedious achievement.
- Microsleeps!! I think this txtbk is a good alternative to cure insomnia. At least it wont lead to tolerance.
So conclusion is.. the txtbk is simply too wordy! -hmpf-.. I swear i won't mind selling this book away to juniors. I think i'll sell my cognitive textbook too. No more cognition related modules in the future for me :(
And while we are still slogging away studying...

People are packing their stuff and moving home!! :( In fact, it's so much easier to find seats in study rooms nowadays. Hall 11 study room is like less than 1/4 filled!
But well, at least we have more time to do our revision..
Wed quick come!!!
-drags my gaze back to that boring book on my study table -

My little aunt just informed me that she's going Korea for holiday tmr.
So niceEee!!~*jealous* She always go for holiday trips while i'm still in the midst of exams. :( But she says she'll being back some beauty products from The Face Shop for me! hehe. Heard that the price there is 50% lower than in S'pore!
Anyway, i've completed my 2 bio-themed papers. The first time in my life taking bio related exams, loL. The questions are really straight to the point and don't know means don't know. Sadly, i had to make guesses for so many questions. :( I guess i wasn't very sure about my answers for the BioPsych MCQs.
Sci or Fiction was slightly better even though this year's paper is supposed to be the killer paper. Actually, last year's paper, though consisting of silly questions, also got many many traps. I rmbed that Ting and I were laughing in LWN when we saw this question:
Electroshock egg?? Cook egg using microwave??
In the end, electroshocking is actually the correct option, loL. A is the correct option.
At least Biopsych gave us a teeny weeny advantage for this da chang jin paper :) Poor bb's still racking his brains today about wad are Neurotransmitters.
Oh, and i'm forever drifting away from my book cos' i keep thinking of what i wan to do after exams. This is seriously a bad habit, cos' i can't substain my concentration without drifing off every few minutes! *hmpf*.. =x
So i'm going to spend some time and list down my plans.. hahahah. At least listing them out will make me daydream lesser.
After exams, i must and will:
- Attend lessons for my special sem module. Can u believe it, i'm schooling again in holiday!! My last yr Dec holidays was delicated to Entre modules, and now, i'll spend like 6 weeks for a civil engine module to clear off my STSS. It's called 'CV8802 ARCHITECTURE APPRECIATION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING'. But luckily, i'll only have to come back to school about 9 times for this module. I've checked out the exam paper b4 selecting this module and i guess it should be about drawing and designing simple structures, like bridges =D It's quite a paradox though, cos' i'm taking an elective of Candice's course and she's taking an elective from Psych! hehe..
- Assist Chee Hui :) I miss chit-chating with her during RP sessions! And also blog-exploring led by Julyn during RP sessions, kekez. Surprisingly, these blog-exploring sessions during RP help update me about Manics, lol. I dun understand what i've been doing online. Lag in blog updates, and forever not logging on to MSN. :(
- Assist Howe! This time i'm going to assist people from the corporate world in playing the Marketplace!! The stimulation game i played in EN104. I hope Howe will give us instructions soon! *prays*
- Mystery shopper calls! Lynn promised to give me heaps of calls! I can work from home whenever i'm free! Wad a nice job.. Calling up people, disturbing them and testing their customer service skills.. Btw, i think they have already blacklisted my house number for all these calls, hehe. Or perhaps, whenever i call, they'll have this *blink blink* MYSTERY SHOPPER ALERT signal appearing. Hoping for more Mystery shopper assignments too! So fun to secretly video cam the sales assistants, loL.
- CHC shifts :) My pocket money generator :)
- Find other part-time or temp. jobs?? Hehe. I'm always v.hardworking in flipping the Straits Times Classifieds during my holidays.
- Revamp my blog!! There's so many dead links on my blog. Julyn is still spelt as "Julynn" (=.=")
- Launch my EN105 product! Proudly introducing Anstant Sugarcane drink into the market! It's an instant, cooling sugarcane beverage, and will be arriving in Singapore somewhere in May. Everyone, pls support!!~ hee
- Redang trip!!!! *screams excitedly*
- Commit more to DrumzouT
Other stuff:
- Go Kimage cut hair and earn $100! =D
- Crash GSS with my shopping pals
- Design a blog shop?? hmMm..
- Attend b'day parties! I still fell bad for not showing up at Fur, Kar liang, Kent and Yue Lian's b'day celebration.. :(
- Swim swim SwIM!!!! I miss swimming!!!! *argH* It's been soOoo many months since i last swam. I want to SWIM!!!!
- Ask my little cuzzie bring me to gym, hehe.
- Make-up class with Marion!! Sweet! =)
- Diamond peel with Yanlin! *yipee!*
Okie.. tt's all i can think for the moment. Shall get back to my books. 1 more week to a temporary halt of this agony. Jia you everyone! tata!~

I was craving for Nutritea and so i happily went down to the tiny minimart at hall14 to buy..
N i was so happi that there was 3 packets left - including 2 which is my preferred flavor.
Hence, i happily paid for it and returned to my room. Then i realized...
the expiry date is
6th April 2008!! *argh!!!!* =(
Stupid me. so overwhelmed by the happiness till i forgot cleanly that it's 7th April already. =x
Anyway, i was looking at the STSS GE which NUS offers and i found this really interesting one:
Module title: Reproductive Health - What One Must Know
Offered by: Obstetrics &
Gynaecology / YLLSM
Prerequisites: Both male & female students are eligible for the module. Medical students are not allowed to read this module.
Ohmigosh! This is so interesting la. An elective offered by Gynaecology! How cool is that??
- Why NTU doesn't offer such interesting STSS electives?? Then i wouldn't have to wreck my brain over which boring STSS elect to choose. -
Then i glanced through the list of Psych modules that they offer..
N i must say, the Psych majors in NUS are really spoiled for choice! They have 3 yrs to choose from such a looOong list.
N we have so few interesting modules to choose from fro a 4 yr course.
stupid.. why did i reject FASS in the first place. -hmpf-
But well, if i went to FASS, then i wouldn't hav met bb, Manics and so many nice peeps :)
Perhaps, i may not have even be streamed into Psych successfully. Mayb i'll be thrown into sth which i totally hav no interest in. (yay~ make myself feel better).

No more Genting trip!! =( After i manage to psycho my bf to go for the trip, someone else pang seh and then it's cancelled..
It's a pity.. Cos' no more promotion! Supposed to be $60 for 3D2N. Now the price have rebounced back to dunno how much le.. :x
Anyway.. I'm looking forward to Redang!!! Redang Redang!!~ yaY!~ Julyn is so nice to plan trips for us :) Too bad Singapore don't have many fun places, or else we'll be able to reciprocate~
Last Friday, Chee Hui (Ch) treated Jul and me to Ichiban!~ It's the 3rd time i've eaten at Ichiban JP, and for all 3 times, I was treated :) 1st time with my little aunt, 2nd time with the Manics to celebrate Jul & my b'day, and 3rd time Chee Hui!~ Oh btw, Ch is such a cute and blur girl tt i think she can compete with the Manic pres, hehe. Wad's cool is that she eats everything except onions and yet can be so slim!~ It always astonishs me whenever she says she like sth, which i also like, but was condemned for! like pork liver and bean sprouts. *hehe* Oh ya, since we girls couldn't resist desserts, we ate Anderson's ice cream after Ichiban!~ Uni students, rmb to flash ur matric card at Andersons for a 10% discount =)
On Sat, after a tiring EN105 battle, i attended Shujun's b'day party!~ She's my JC darling!~ haha, my daddy, who abandoned partner Leng and then formed a couple with my mummy Eunice. Anyway, it's a pity tt Eunice couldn't make it for the bbq party.. or else we'll have a great family reunion, loL~
Btw, Leng & I went shopping for S.Jun's prezzie, and i got a set of makeup brushes for her! Cool right?? Girls usually won't buy makeup brushes for themselves. But it's always nice to receive them as a gift :) In addition to that.. Leng & me went into Guardian, looking for masks.. and we found... a Breast firming, hydrating and dunno-wad-other-benefits mask for S.Jun!! It was so hilarous when she saw and read the label to everyone, hahahahahxz~
It was fun to make games with them too.. though S.Jun's bf & Fel still owe us a forfeit! N it was fun to catch up with the Hougang guys when we went home together. The 1987 guys are coming into uni soon! Time really flies~
Oh, and next party will be Felicia's 21st :) It'll be during exam period though! So i better go mug now.. Chao!~
