fighting to hold back~

happy birthday hwying~!

i'm sorrie i was a half hour late in calling..
=( haf lots inside to say to you.. but wells.. can't put it in words now.
luv ya and missing u from across the world.. and i really hope u liked e video and ur bday party.. even tho ur actual day wasn't so happening remember we all love u k??
so we're both feeling kinda down now..
=( but we'll make it through...

i just need to get through this week.. this sem.. i need to stop feeling so negative and letting the negative feelings get the better of me... but i dun haf the energy to fight the negative and force out the postive anymore.. i just can't do it on my own..i try then something else glares me in the face then i'm back to square one.

i guess its my own fault.. i'm practically looking for those things to glare me in the face.. i'm finding it in every corner i look.

ok nvm.. tt was a rambly nonsensical post that no one will understand but me.

gotta go for 395 lecture in ten minutes.. am still sitting tryin to haf lunch at zoupp on my own.. at least i can escape the campus for abit.

of heat transfer saturation point~

i've been officially devoting ALL my study time to heat transfer.. tmr's D-day... i'm gonna sit for an exam that i mugged like crazy for but am still not sure i'm going do well in =(

help.

oh wells.. tried my best... leave the rest to Him~

cabbage soup for dinner~ yay~
something to loof forward to..

snow/sun/rain??

it was nice sunny two days ago and ppl could wear skirts..
then it was nice and rainy last nite when i fell happily asleep to the sound of raindrops outside my window... just like i used to luv at home..
then i woke up this morning and the rain turned to snow~!!!
haha perfect example of michigan weather..

pass/failed my psych.. now can put in more effort into my me classes...
need to study for me 335 exam next week.. its my worst class so far=(((
i realized i am better better at stationary things.. things tt dun move.. statics rather than dynamics.. and totally suck at moving stuff like fluids.. and abstract stuff like thermody and heat transfer..

i should go further into solid mechanics and statics.
*Sigh*
i hope tt kind of stuff works good for my future company. *hopeful*

shall try to post arnold comp pictures=)the ones of me dancing are courtesy from my teammates and frens who took it for us and posted it on facebook~ =)

since mommie so specially took the effort and time and money to get me my outfits.. must show her the outcomes of it=) thanx mommie~! =)












and the ribbons at the end of it all~
thanx to mommie's hard work and encouragement despite e long flight and jetlagged me~ *beams*

back in ann arbor~

after a hectic weekend at arnold in ohio =P arnold went pretty well.. slept through the whole standard category rounds.. but wells.. we got some ribbons which is more than i expected for not practicing for more than two weeks and suffering from intende jet lag~! *thankful*

oh wells..just had pysch exam tt went ok i guess.. not excellent.. but i dunno.. *shrugS* trying to decide if i shd take it pass fail or graded... cos i'm at a borderline a- at e moment and i dun really need to take it graded.. but wondering if it might still help even if i do get an A- after all.. *bites lip* i have one more week to decide~!!!!!
