when you believe

Song Playing: When You Believe (Prince of Egypt/Soundtrack Version)

Well, i'm down to my last two weeks at school for the semester. I'm left with 3 more tests and 2 more presentations. Not to mention I have an Internship coming up in September. "Ah.. The bliss!" Kind of at least. I am most definitely going to miss all my group mates during that period. After 9am-6pm days of seeing them, not seeing them just feels weird; if you catch my drift.
Something really awesome happened on Saturday, where burdens were just lifted off my back. And I am yet again reminded that God is so real in my life. 
Yesterday, Kenji, Joy, Nigel, Will, Mark, Hilary, Crystal, Mama and I went down to Bras Basah. I tagged along mostly because Nigel wanted me to help him find a guitar. And it took really long. We spent close to 1 hour at Swee Lee. And we saw a professional percussionist at work (Kenji's 'Shi Fu"?). Overall it was pretty fun, to just chill and hang out with the peeps. Plus finally Nigel got his guitar at BlackWood. Some brand I have never heard of before. But it sounded pretty good! 

Oh and I had this random thought lately of calling all my old friends all the way from Primary School Old and just re-connecting with them. I wonder if its even possible. At any rate, Facebook is the only connection cable. But from Facebook alone, its pretty obvious that practically EVERYONE has changed. So im not exactly too sure if its a good idea. Hmm.. maybe in 10 years time when we all have kids and can sit round a table for a cuppa tea? 
Suddenly the thought of it makes me wanna laugh out loud (which i cant at the moment because everyone's sleeping... But, i think im laughing inside cuz my tummy starting to cramp up while im sitting down)

Well, maybe i'll contact Arthur, Long Jie, Yong Hui and Tracy and we'll see how it goes?

its been so long! Argh.

Plus: I'm finally gonna be able to watch Despicable Me tomorrow! ( i figured i had better watch as many movies as I can before my internship) So i'll be getting round to watching Inception as well. 

Plus SQUARE: I'm still patiently waiting for my DSLR. I doubt my internship pay would be enough to get me the one I want. And my dad keeps telling me to wait. And its irritating, because my fingers are itching to go for a photo shoot! And my Powershot just can't do what i want it to! 

Plus CUBE: My Toe is fully healed! Whoopie! (not goldberg...) 

Haha Much.

Bye Bye Ingrown!

I really thank God really that I finally managed to get the toe nail out. And to tell the truth, I was so nervous as if I were a little kid going to perform on stage for the very first time. So with my mum and my Jodi Picoult Book, I waited in the cold A&E waiting room at Khoo Teck Puat; the new hospital over at Yishun.
But being a Marketing student, i started to talk to my mom bout the good service at the hospital. And it was really comfortable! (If it wasn't for the fact that my nervousness made me a tad chillier).

It was interesting during the surgery. I was trying to focus on reading my book while trying not to observe the surgery procedure. So there i was half peeping out of the bottom of my book and half reading the few pages that I wasn't quite sure I actually 'read'. So it started with the doctor cleaning the area around the wound, then he put this green cloak with this hole over my big toe while covering the rest. After that he tied this rubber band around my toe (I assumed it was to stop the blood flow). And there was this absolutely HUGE needle that held the anesthesia. and he sorta poked and injected like 5 times! the first few times it sort of hurt really bad (Nothing like the normal vaccination jab) then as my toe numbed up, i couldn't feel a thing! Talk about BLISS! a month's worth of sharp pains and pain in my big toe that i couldn't seem to get rid of was gone in a few minutes! So i obviously took an interest at observing how the toenail was to be cut out. So he went on snipping and like pulling pieces of nail out of my toe and it was weird but I felt strangely comfortable about not being able to feel a thing (As if my toe went missing). Well the pain is starting to seep in now, and i suppose its gonna be real bad soon, but it was fun nonetheless. WHEE!

Another one of those Days

Its another one of those days where i just feel like sleeping.

Especially after the really awesome seafood dinner last night at Deborah's Wedding Blessing, and after my 2am diarrhoea. Not to mention, my eye got infected! its like kinda red on one side. (I knew i should have remembered not to rub my eyes while wearing my contacts)

ADDICTED to Nissin Vegetable Tom Yam Cup Noodles. I think i've eaten about 6 cups over the last week and i feel like having one more.

INTERVIEW for my internship to SIF is on Wednesday. Gonna meet up with qirong and vil for breakfast since we are having the interview consecutively. After that it's gonna be back to school for Services Marketing and LM. Egg-cite-terd! Gonna be staying over at my grandparent's place after that for the next 3 days or so, since theres gonna be some construction work at home. Plus, i hope i can wear my heels for the interview, which means that my toe has to heal PRONTO.

DISCONNECTED is a horrible feeling. Sometimes it kinda feels weird when you look at old friends' profiles on facebook and think back on the times you used to have but no longer have. Almost like you have been left right at the spot where the road split and you are just watching them walk their lives away from you. And its almost as if the moment could have been captured if you had only held tightly enough.

PROJECTS are very much a part of my life now since i have been at it for 2 1/2 years already! And i doubt its about to stop any time soon.

ENDINGS are horrible if you cant seem to let go. But it not holding on that tight to this post, so... i'm ending here. ;)

The Rush Hour is Near!

Gonna spend the next hour or so writing out a script for this Friday's Oral (SKIT)Presentation for Sales Management. Suddenly feel like gonna be missing these times soon, while on my internship maybe.
And Project Rushes are around the corner, starting... Now? My toe is still wrapped up in bandages and i am seriously getting annoyed at the horrible extra weight on my toe. I cant jump, i cant run, i cant even walk properly. I CANT WEAR SHOES! Major Bummer. And I cant quite start to imagine how i'll be walking into that interview room wearing sandals or slippers. It just isnt right.

Oh well, Im looking at possibly 9 to 8 days every week for the next 2 weeks? Its totally choking full. I cant even really confirm any attendances to any event or outing with friends, because i dont know when projects will pop up. So i guess everytime i see a message that says, "Hey! Are your free? Lets meet!" My reaction would usually be: 1. stop looking at the message. 2. Forget about the message. 3. (to some extent) feel kinda frustrated.4. I make some people mad because I fail to reply to their messages.

I know, its rude and its entirely my fault, so apologies to those who did not receive my replies.

ARGH.
Its fun! But projects are killing me! Saturday Morning, I cant even go get my contacts done, cuz i have a meeting. I have another one after church on sunday.  After which i have to rush down to a wedding!

Oh well. I shall be strong. Just a little more to go and that will be it for this Semester. (Besides, i really am praying I do not fail Strategic Marketing.) All the logic stuff just doesn't register.... : |

On days like these, i just feel like rotting at home. During the holidays, i just feel like doing the exact opposite! Strange huh?

The Toe, The Projects and The Me


A few things have been happening lately, and im just not suite sure where to start...
For one, things have been rushing by so quickly i barely have a chance to catch my breath. Second, ive just been so seemingly distracted and disconnected somehow; as if my body just suddenly switched to auto pilot or cruise mode. Its so hard to snap out of! Rawr! If anything, i was hoping a trip out of Singapore would make things better, but i haven't got the luxury of making an exit.


  1.  I have a horrible ingrown toenail. Yes.. I tried to cut it out on my own, but it got horribly infected, and had a painful trip to the doctors on Sunday. And now i need to go for Surgery. Great! More money spent on trying to rip my toenail off my toe. (only thing is, after what seemed like almost a week, i haven't gone to the A&E to rip anything out yet)
  2. Its the Projects period. Average time of sleep: 2am (6 hours till wake)
  3. My internship is all over the place. But God really has a plan, i believe; no i know. in a nutshell: Self-Secured, missed the deadline, waiting for school to allocate, hoped it would be some super fun awesome Branding Company, may end up with SIF, a non-profit organization. 
  4. Im still patiently waiting for the chance to grab that FFXIII game for the PS3... After I get a PS3...
  5. I just feel like doing something absolutely silly like Bungee Jumping, or Sky Diving; something that would snap me out of this daze...
Yep! That just about sums it up.
