Complexity meets simplicity..
i am a happy girl. pretty satisfied with my results for this semester. although my results and CAP are nothing to boast of. a Donkey+ isnt really a glamorous grade. nonetheless i am truly thankful for the grace of God. I had worried about failing the module as i was unable to finish a question which had a weightage of half the total marks. He is always good! for the first time in my 2 and a half years of university life, I got my A albeit it was A-. indeed arts module seem to be a good choice so i guess next semester i will be investing in quite a number of them apart from my 2 core modules. now that I have finally hit 3, my next aim will be to graduate with a pass with merit. with God, I am sure i will be able to achieve it!
went ice-skating with lionel, yuan tai, ben, wei chang, sun qiang and merissa. woah~ it's been 7 years since i last went there. seems like i've improved considerably though i felt rusty initially. fell a couple of times but the feeling's great! perhaps i am psychotic but i enjoyed the contact with the ice. a great stress reliever which allows you to scream out all your pent-up emotions. ;p sadly there's always a price to pay. now my legs are aching like mad.
i need to start planning my schedule. with so many tuition sessions to pack into 5 days, I seriously have to contemplate what modules to take.

the chipmunks are fantastic! i love their singing and their acapella is totally awesome.
i received 2 pairs of earrings and a card as christmas present from my korean student. she is indeed a sweetie pie. *.~ her message to me goes like this"i am very happy when you play games with me. So i think you are the very very best teacher. I love you! You are the best teacher I ever had." how sweet can it get? reading it just puts a smile to my face and warms my heart. ;p
got christmas presents for 2 of my students and their family. it's time to reciprocate the kindness they have shown me throughout the year. lunches-both homecooked and bought, Jane's mother often offer me whenever i go their house after sunday service. complimentary movie tickets and korean food products from the Min family. indeed I am well-loved by my students. what more can I ask for?
I am so looking forward to christmas!

i am beginning to appreciate the beauty of an afternoon movie. theoretically it wasnt afternoon yet but late morning. not only is it cheaper, we get the whole theatre to ourselves. almost. and we got the chance to take the comfortably spacious lover seat. ^.*
Enchanted is a good albeit cheesy movie. kept us laughing throughout with all the unrealistically dramatic acts. nonetheless the music is nice and lighthearted. true love's kiss. the theme of this musical comedy.
job-hunting with my dear. though i havent really the need, with 11 tuitions spread over 7 days. nonetheless, it's more for the sake of accompanying her than the dough. in any case, who would mind extra cash? ;p

yesterday was a day well-spent. met up with friends who mattered to me. Alister came down to Bugis to have a talk with me. funny guy he is. figured he barely had a chance to talk to me during the past semester and decided to make up for it. not that it really occured to me that we had minimal conversation and contact. i believe friends are kept in the heart, no matter how infrequent you talk to each other, the bond will always be there.
met up with the girls later on in the evening. our gatherings will never be short of shan, yee and val occasionally ju will grace the event. nonetheless, it was a great time at Mind Cafe. no-brainer games suit us fine though the main motive is to welcome my dear back. at least now i can look forward to fun days ahead. my partner in crime. lol
enchanted is up next!

feeling emo today. slightly affected by someone.. though i think it is just foolishness on my part. if the person had cared, i wouldnt have been upset. or perhaps i'm being over-reactive once again. oh well. that's just me- an emo roller coaster. to me, the worst thing in life is to be ignored.
spent half the day reading a book by Nora Roberts. realised it's been a while since i indulge in a good book. now that i have so much time on my hands and the library just steps from my home, i should make full use of this chance to 'upgrade' myself. on top of , there's quite a number of things I want to accomplish this holiday.
my dear is finally coming back on Sunday! great~
i want to go for Fish Leong's concert next year. any one?

it's finally over! indeed it's all over.. =[ i just pray that i can manage at least a C for Organic Chem. not that i was not prepared but somehow i just am too slow. sigh..
was sick for the past few days though i am not fully recovered as yet still. went to Raffles Hospital A&E on sat, after being tormented by fever for the whole day. 38.9 degree C when my usual body temperature is only 36. the doctor was like:"very serious problem" because my eyes were all puffed up. was prescribed 5 medicine and the bill totalled up to over $100. i guess what you pay is what you get. the following morning, my fever and swelling subsided, apart from feeling drowsy the whole day. could barely concentrate on studying but sleep the day away.
now i can finally take a well-deserved break! with the excitement of christmas tingling in the air, i need to get some shopping done plus get some quaility activities done amidst my busy tuition schedule.
