Hello fellow earthings! ((: Whee I've been really really busy these days! The workload in school is zomg heavy, which explains my less and less frequent blogging! Honestly, whoever told us Alevels is the worse we'll have to go through can't be any more inaccurate!! Alevels is like half of what what uni syllables attempt to squeeze into us, and in 1/4 of the time too! //:

But I admit its still fun lah! :)

I observe that my blog is getting all wordy with no pictures so here's a really cute one for all to gawk at! :D



Guess who!!!





Its a baby chankeet!!! :DD Who would have thought he could be soooooo sweet and adorable looking last time?!? -Evil grin! :D hahahaha!!

I really love this picture! ((: and I love the little starlet in it moreeee!

aha I got some time to blog now as I'm waiting for my bro to finish shitting so I can shower! Last midterm test coming up this Sat! (: I can't wait for it to be over. I need to get it off my checklist so I can start clearing my frigging backlog of other tutorials!! /: But this weekend will be burnt cus of MINDS camp. Whoopee.

Today, mugging with David and Weiyan was quite productive! We're the only few poor souls who takes Genes and Society as our module and are still mugging for midterms now. Chiong!! I need to ace this module to pull up my dismal grades for Management Science.

Okay bro's out(and bathroom is aired)! I'm off to shower and then start on my Stats tutorial! Goodbyeeeeeeeeeeee!

Oh and thanks everyone for the tags!! (: Previous entry was just plain emo and angsty! lol! I'm still good!

you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

Warning! This is an extremely angsty and emo post.

Today I reached home at eleven twenty and it triggered off a scolding/nagging from my parents again. Here I am, worse than Cinderella, who at the very least has til midnight to rush home in her carriage. I can understand where my parents are coming from, that coming home late is pretty dangerous since my district is quiet and that I should get home for adequate rest.. But god knows the number of times I stay out late is super minimal. Sometimes I just feel really suppressed. Though I know its for my own good and all, I feel that I'm two years old and not twenty.

Sometimes its so tiring to be good for everyone, to live up to everyone's expectations, including mine. I want to be the best daughter to my parents, one they can be proud of, a good friend to my friends, a good girlfriend to my cat, a good sister to my siblings and of course a good student for myself. Meeting the expectations gets harder when its relative to another, especially in the case of my parents.

I know compared to my sister, I'm the more extroverted one and I enjoy time out with my friends. My sis seldom hangs out with her friends out of school but mostly sees them in school as great company so I'm the weird child here who likes to spend some time outside and behave like a normal teenager. I mean, I know I shld maybe strike a better balance in the use of my time but my mom just doesn't see that my personality is different from my sister and it is really tiring for me to always try to conform to what she thinks I should be. I think I've been a pretty good girl other than being a tad bit messy at home. I hardly stay out later than 11, I do housework (minimal ya but still got), I haven't clubbed before (pretty much by choice), I am not rude to them and I don't take allowance from them either cus I can support myself. Doesn't it show that I can differenciate right from wrong and I am mature and sensible enough to choose the lifestyle I want to lead? Hanging out with friends after school doesn't make me the bad girl does it? Coming back home at 11 plus once in a while doesn't make me the wild and horribly playful girl that they make me out to be right? But it does somehow, probably relative. Why must they keep comparing these aspects with my sister? We're two different people, two separate entities, and two whole personalities.

Its just suffocating and a bit sad too. My flaws are ultra magnified to them but my strengths mean nth to them in their way of thinking. They always ask me not to compare with my friends abt their freedom but here they are, constantly comparing mine and my sis's behavior. Nonetheless, I'm determined to do two things. 1) I will make a conscious effort to sit in the living room to chat with them at least reasonably long before I retire to my room and 2) I will keep my things neater.

Number 2 takes me more effort that you guys can ever imagine /:

-

Emo over! I screwed Management Science really badly but I had a really good day today with my friends and ck! (: We went for dinner and then to the IT show at suntec. After that, the rest left for Zouk while ck and I caught a few musical performances at the Esplanade. Which explains why I got home later than usual today.

FINALLY, I got myself settled down.

I opened my Econs textbook, a pencil poised over paper to make notes in an attempt to squeeze some knowledge into my resistant brain, AND I feel the sleepiness creeping in. Am I allergic or what!! /:

So anw, since it is so unproductive studying now at a whooping 1.54am, I might as well blog a quick one and get to bed! :D

Today is Happy 20th for my cat and I! (: Thank you for everything dear! You're not only my big, bad boyfriend but also my best friend, and I can't imagine my life without you (: Even though our lives are so different now with me in sch and you in your army camp, I know you still understand and know me best, and I'm happiest when I'm with you. Loveeee! ((:

Subway for dinner followed by Watchman with the meow meow! Watchman is a guy's flick lahhh, thick with blood, murder and violence. Sorry, I'm a peace loving girl and gore grosses me out so I'm just okay with it. The storyline was pretty good though! Despite my initial disgust, I was impressed when the entire story fell into place! (: You all can go catch it too! For one, the skeptical cynical ck (whose most generous compliment for a movie is "not bad lahhhh"), said it was GOOD! :D That's a level up for him!

Okay I just tried my luck with Fish and Co to get them as sponsors for the Tri-Uni camp. I know hardly anyone reads my really boring blog but ANYONE, if your parent's company or your company (blogshop maybe?) would like to be a sponsor for the biggest collaboration ever between the 3 local unis, please do contact me @ yyueqi@gmail.com!! (: Its good publicity I promise! lol!

Alright off to bed I go. I didn't study all day and I have a test on Friday. Oh gosh what am I doing!!

tag replies:
YONGSTER! (: Its been a whileeeee how're you!! Yeahhh I'll bring you back some meatballs when I go to Sweden hahaha! Or you want ikea furniture? =D Marley was soooooooooooo sad lahhhh I bet you cried! Don't pretend! :D

The budget constraint defines the set of baskets that a consumer can purchase with a limited amount of income.

Heh. Trying to read through my Econs now but I've been on the first page for ages. Sigh, me. I'm totally ill disciplined! I spied my camera at the corner and decided to upload some photos! (:


TGIF! (:


Newton today with the girls!! (: After a horribly sinful meal of stingray, oyster egg, otahs, satays, chicken wings and sambal kangkong, we washed everything down with two scoops of island creamery icecream each! haha!


Meow! (:

My face is getting really round these days ahh!

10:44 PM

Yay first two papers down! Management Sci was a complete nightmare! I'm quite sure I'll flunk it so the best I can hope for now is that everyone flunks along with me (: lol! One the other hand, stats is way too easy for comfort. I think one mistake will mean getting an F or sth. This bell curve system is so exasperating!

Anw, I had two fabulous days in a row since there was this post exam feel after my two midterm papers and I really felt like playing! (: Post exam always makes me high! :D On Tuesday I had a really great time with my friends! We trekked to Weiyan's place aft school for Wii and as always, they forced the poor me to dance for everyone's entertainment ///: And as usual, I got thrashed badly by Daniel! O.O! How can I lose to a guy in sth so gay?! hahaha! Okay, maybe cus Daniel is Danielle :D

Then it was Ichiban Boshi for dinner! Super satisfying!! (: The conversation that followed was comfortable and interesting and hilarious all in one! I realise our bunch can just seat at some place and chat all day and not run out of things to say! Thats really nice and enjoyable (: Jx sent all of us home after that wheee! THANKS BUBBLES! (: We love you and your Volvo! :D

Today was spent with my meow meow Garfield cat, who was very luckily, spared from having to spend 4 days outfield! :D We had dinner a Crystal Jade and then caught Marley and Me together! Omg its a frigging sad show and to no one's surprise, I cried pails and buckets. I was pretty close to bawling my lungs out! lol! Ck was grinning/laughing at me and trying to comfort me at the same time! He always has to endure a sloppy, crying me for tearjerkers like these lol! BUT I know he also felt teary watching this particularly show though, which is a very big thing cus ck is usually the Stone Man! hahaha! That's how sad the show is! Everyone shld go catch it, its really good!!!!!

Anw, as I watched Marley, I kept thinking of my own MooMoo and MiMi and that they'll one day be old and and deaf and ill and I'll lose them forever )): I cant bear that thought )): Please live to a ripe old age you two!!! )): Went to the pet shop after the show to get mimi a new collar and moooo some tidbits. I'm gg to smother both of them with even more TLC starting from now!!!! My fat little bundles of joy.

Its back to school again tmr! Damn siannnnnnnnnn. I can't wait for the Sem to end!! Take care everyone and good luck for Midterms! (:
