distorted house~

ugh
ME 250 was NOT good.
some funny picture tt looked like a house shape with a flag on it.. totalli left me confused... half of it looked 3d the other half looked 2d..
*scrunch face*

just dumped laundry in..
and there's a commotion next door.. one of them's screaming at her bf or smth while e other is laughing her head off..
*tilts head*
how absurd..
heh

cross sections and auxillary views...

i hope i can draw them correctly later..
i hope i can visualize properly..
i hope they dun ask much about machining processes yet..
i hope i can remember all e parts of the "house of quality"..

*bites lip*

"i smiled so much, so much that i know it was a miracle..
i gave so much, so much that i know it didn't come from me anymore..
i hurt so much, so much that i know that it was because i loved...
i loved so much, so much that i know it was something special..

then i lost so much, so much that i know how blessed i was..
i cried so much, so much that i know how much it meant to me..

still i remember so much, every detail of every day..
i hope so much, that it takes so much out of me..
i pray so much, now i can only be thankful.."

thinking thinking..

finished my eng 100 exam today~
it went pretty ok.. thank You =)

one more midterm to go.. but i think this one can hardly study.. its all about whether or not i can visualise there and then and whether i draw the rite things =S
*worried*
but i shall try not to worry.. shall just try my best and leave e rest to be wat it will be..
today's lecture was a waste of time by e way.. started at 1.40.. ended abt 1.50..
supposed to be 1 1/2 hours.. but oh wells.

meeting mommie in 5 days..
figured i'm v blessed.. was just thinking about how my frens here dun get to see their family and loved ones for so long.. since they left singapore in august.. here i am a lucky girl who's v blessed by God's timing.. managed to meet daddie in chicago during fall break.. went home during winter break and meeting mommie in europe in spring break.. not only do i get to see them i get to see them in three diff continents~!
i guess the most important part is not the place but the actual being w ppl..
with mommie with daddie.. even the little time i had w jie..
and i just pray that this break will be a blessed time for us.. me and my mommie, me and my frens =)

going to make my michigan license soon~!
jingshen is giving us a lift.. we're donating to his umdm dancer account.. for his services.. thank you js~! =P


hms.. got alot of other things on my mind as well.. but oh wells.. am trying hard not to go worry excessively about them.. all will turn out fine eventually anyways.

...

today's one of the crappiest days ever...
i woke up feeling extra crappy to start with..
then everything along the way just got worse and worse..
dun feel like elaborating

trying really hard to keep my head up since this morning.. it hasn't been long, but i'm drained. i give up for now...
if i can just look and val and i'm on e verge of breaking before i can say much, i think i just need a break.

no dude for me today.
i want to escape from this whole thing for awhile..

diversity day~

just came back from scarlett middle school for diversity day~
was a realli interesting experience~ =) e kind u can only get when ur here =)
made me feel really proud to be singaporean.. and think about all the things about home that i so very much luv and hold dear to me =)

got two midterms next week..
thankfully i managed to do pretty well for my two past papers by God's grace =) v happy w my math grade and i guess contented with my ME.. above avg =) even got 9 in front.. v happy alreadi =P
hopefully the next two will be ok.. dunno wat to expect out of eng 100 and ME 250 *nervous*

haiz.. my GSI can't really help me with my NX either.. he says he doesn't really noe wats wrong.. looks like maybe tmr i gotta go caen lab and try to start all over again and hope to do the rite thing =(

the weather is crazy cold now.. just two nites ago i was saying how it was raining.. and now its llike -12~! my fingers and face and ears feel numb everytime i step out. *bleah* tonite's the lowest hopefully and then it *shd* get warmer and better from then on..

spring break's in less than a week~! hopefully everything goes great even tho we haven't really planned out much of wat we wanna do..
it will be a much needed break..

my bed looks *ReallY* inviting...
*ponders dreamily*

unigraphics gives me a headache~

ugh..
i hate NX 3.0!!!
and i'm pretty sure it hates me.=(
alreadi this week it erased one of my homeworks.. refused to save it for me..
then on three different computers it refused to let me print my homework

now it doesn't let me revolve my sketch..
and AFTER not allowing me to revolve my sketch it happily deleted my entire sketch for me~!!!!
*PULLS HAIR*

wat am i doing in ME =S

my hundredth post~

blogger.com says this is my hundredth post on this blog~!
haha.. yes just a random fact.. din noe i blogged tt much.

anyways just came back from the ambassador's talk in rackhan auditorium.. the did haf a v nice reception after.. had rice and char siew and some siew mai and har kau too =) prob the best part of the whole event for me *guilty grin*

had eng 100 presentation today... went ok.. but it has made me realise tt i need a new shirt.. actualli.. i need to stop being such a pig.. haha
my blouse can hardly button without the thing looking like its gonna burst at e seams.. my skirt is so tight it keeps riding up with every 3 steps i take.. then i haf to tug it and flatten it down again.. *demoralised*

oh wells.. its raining.. i can hear the pattering of the raindrops on my window.. i kinda like tt sound.. especially when i'm sleeping in bed.. i dunno.. i kinda like rain in certain ways.. back home i'd luv to cuddle up in my bed when its raining, with e air con on.. my window used to be above my head board.. then id watch the glass mist up.. hear the splattering of the water droplets on my window, then watch the droplets accumulate and drip down..

heh.. i realise my mind ponders over the weirdest things when i start to stone.. like thinking of geometrical shapes and patterns that nite when i couldn't sleep... or just thinking about abstract stuff about life... thinking about how to live it, thinking about people... i think i can think about anithing under e sun.. =P

haha ok enough crap for today..
finished my hw for this week tt's why i can afford to enter this long entry..
but my ME 211 hw still isn't totally in order i guess.. can't get some orders.. how i wish there was another ME major person with me...

by e way i'd like to dedicate a big hug to val. =) *HUG*

ugh.. randomness

1) just had my me midterm..

but still.. i'm thankful.. its over.. there's nothing i can do abt it animore.

2) lazy..
been fiddling ard with html codes..
(or at least i *think* they are html codes..)
figured some stuff out..
but then i think i screwed up the whole thing after by fiddling with it even more

*shrug*

3) NX 3?
i'm sick of unigraphics.. but here i am just at the start of my relationship with it..

4) power 98 is the best~ =)

5) laundry is sitting at home..

6) not looking forward to e weekend.. threatens to be a not so pleasant one.

7) looking forward to seeing mommie and giving her a big big hug.. enough big hugs to go home and pass on to everyone else.

8) i'm blogging way too much these few days~

the randomness list goes on...

me 211 exam in about 3 hours..

studying with earphones plugged in my ears~
i guess shear and moment diagrams aren't supposed to have the tension forces in it? *ponders*

ssa meeting tonite~

duding~

just had an ME 250 pop quiz.. now duding in the dude~

bleah wat nonsense...
cant decide whether to study me 211 first or to do my me 250 lab homework first.. wait i still haf my dance paper due next week.

=(
xian...

wat's with me why am i so xian?

had a few msn conversations going on simultaneously with ppl from home~
i -still- miss home.. when will it stop having so much of a hold on me~?

let go dear girl.. ur here for a reason.. take hold of here and now...
*reprimands myself*

arboretum in the winter

i rushed into the ballet studio this morning about 5 mins late.. starting to panic.. when i realised there was NO ONE in the e studio at all~!!
haha my teacher had last minute plans to bring us "out"..

felt like primary school field trip.. she din tell us where she was bringing us.. so we walked and walked in the cold and guess where we landed up~?

the arboretum~!!! in e middle of winter~!!!

she wante us to observe the arb like we were observing a performance of nature..its for our second paper to be written soon.. reminds me-- i need to write my first paper.. due next week.
i must say it was a realli pretty and relaxing atmosphere.. even though my ears were freezing off..

i was standing ine middle of the arb remembering e prayer i said this morning~ haha
"Lord give me love and strength to get through this day.." (my normal daily prayer to get myself out of bed" and then thinking to myself with my eyes closed on the bus "if only i could spend some nice quiet time in some relaxing place with God"...

and tada~! prayers answered.. half an hour later i'm in e arb wandering ard on my own, watching a little squirrel search for nuts, looking at the whole place, slopes and all, trees and logs, covered in white snow... (mommie will luv the place) kicking e soft snow and wishing i brought my gloves and beanie so i could plop myself down, make snow angels, play with snow with the initial enthusiasm and excitement i used to haf about snow when i was young..

haha and when it was time to wander back into reality, i lost my way.. =P
so ended up not making it to math on time.. shrug. the lecturer's realli lousy anyways.

walk walked to league for lunch and read my math 215 text.. i think its more useful than lecture.. got a little frustrated with it.. but trusting things will go well tonite.. anyone care to give me some tips before tonite~? *hopeful*

when i got home i got a lovely surprise.. my mommie's package arrived~! *beams*
-finally-
it got checked by customs but nothing got confiscated..
*yay*
got my packets of sweets and gummies and my clothes tt are a little too late for my competition and stuff..
although mommie's suit came in time for presentation next week =)

haha wat a rambly post...
math midterm in 2 hours.. *nervous*

for some strange reason shutterfly refuses to allow me to upload the pics of the arb i took w my phone camera.. bleah.. shall try again later.

all e best in aussie jy~!

just had a conversation with jy before he leaves for australia~
in 9 days nonetheless but i doubt i'll be able to contact him much before then so i'll make a tribute here now...

talking to him was amusing.. in some sense, enlightening in others, and thought provoking in yet other ways.. haha

jy is always crappy.. but sometimes when his crap genuinely comes from his heart and mind it makes sense and means something~! u noe when u wrote me that note to thank me and say farewell before i left for US it was one of the most genuine notes i ever received~?? and i least expected it from u.. and thus i'm thankful =)

recalled the times our class had crazy xiong practices in xen.. somewhere between june and aug last year.. =P was esp fun with agnes and u and melvin and ruifen and al.. some memories i'll nv forget.. haha u're one super amusing friend jy.. =P

haha.
aren't u honored that i said smth nice abt u on my blog~? =P

all e best in aussie~
and dun give up that passion for dancing even tho i noe circumstances seem not to allow u to keep it burning.. but yeah its too precious to lose...

God bless ur days in aussie w lovely memories and experiences! =)

shall i do math or shall i sleep?

just got back from ME 250 team meeting..
long.. but at least we managed to finish up our homework =)
we;re gonna haf our next meeting this sunday.. *bleah*
wat's the world turning into? my whole sunday is getting eaten up..
church ine morning.. ballroom rite after.. 430 eng 100 presentation rehearsal.. evening ME 250 team meeting... wat a sad way to end the weekend..

oh wells.. on a lighter note i finished all my homework for this week! =)
tt's cos its midterm week.. two midterms this week.. and thus considerably less homework..
need to do math 215 practice exam later..
ooh got eng 100 meeting tonite too..

i haf a great urge to plop myself in bed now..
lack of rest lately..
after finishing gateway today i let myself take a 20 min break at stucchi's eating french silk ice cream on my own..
comfort indulgences~!

*yawns* math 215?? or sleep??
*dilemma*

dreams haf a way of coming true~?

yesterday was a day for a creepy confrontation with my dreams..
somehow some of my dreams seem extra real and especially vivid.. and when i wake up i can remember almost every detail of my dream..
somehow these dreams seem to speak smth to me.. and maybe a few years down the road i find nmyself in the exact situation i had in my dream.. sometimes its good.. sometimes it isn't so good..

had a weird dream the nite before.. it felt so real and vivd tho.. and the feelings in the dream were pretty intense.. was just telling jer and chris when i woke up and went to church abt the dream and how it was pretty disturbing.. the creepy thing was after i came back some part of the dream became real..

i knew it was coming.. but i never thot it would come so fast..
oh wells.. after being a little shake and all..i figured there was a reason why i had it.. and i guess sometimes its things like these.. maybe God is telling me.. and gently guiding me in the right direction..

i dunno.. but i will just keep praying and trusting.. but i will need a LOT of strength..

anyways.. the weekend and atualli the whole of last week was pretty packed up... tt was one hectic week..
went to the charity snowball on friday nite~ it was realli nice.. too bad nobody else wanted to go..u guys shd haf come.. thanx jer for still going anyways.. =P then we went for movie.. underworld 2..

had ballroom competition on saturday.. wasn't too bad... but was kinda demoralised after awhile cos they din allowthe c team members to compete in the newcomers category after e first few events.. altho we've only been c team for a few weeks.. but i guess i understand why. but the thing was tt there were like b team members competing in bronze level.. so obviously we couldn't accomplish much in the bronze category.. =S oh wells..

i've got photos.. but as usual i'm gonna wait till i;ve got time to put them up.. computers aren't exactly very nice to me remember... heh.

haf a great week everyone..

ooh and happy birthday claire~!!!
*hugs*
ur twenty alreadi~! how time flies...

yet another month has passed~

time flies.. can't tell if its in a good way or in a bad way..

hms.. anyways booked my driving test for friday morning.. and hope all goes well~ *hopeful*

shall try to chiong as much homework as i can today.. i wanna finish it all up so i can make time for the million things going on this week~
its not a bad thing tho.. wat would life be without these little pitstops in life for u to look to and thank God for? *makes myself think postively* =)

in pensive mood.. maybe its missing out on the festive season back home (just read a nice email from daddie and mommie abt the stuff they did these few days.. made my heart swell with emotions again), maybe i'm just tired.. or maybe its just another one of those times ~
*rubs eyes*

back to work~

-me 250 written individual assignment
-math 215 webwork
-me 211 assignment
-eng100 lab prospectus
