weekends are great.
merely getting together and talk abt the same thing over and over again is awesome already.
unlike most of the weekdays where i've been mentally rehearsing what i need to do for 201, 203, 204, 212... and few seconds later it'll be 201, 203, 204, 212 again and again even when i'm in my first stage of sleep just to make sure i didnt leave anything out. obligation cum obsession )= the habit's hard to break.
'death week' awaiting. because
2nd and 4th march midterms.
3rd march trial run. (omg omg omg)
5th march pal tutor and assignment due.
still searching.

Friendship.
Friendship:
- "Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between people, or animals. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis." (Wikipedia, 2010)
- my definition for the past n years: about the same as stated above. i've always delved in friendship with pure and sincere intentions.
-my updated definition: i would like to add another statement to reinforce the definition. without mutual respect, friendship becomes a form of manipulation where the victim will be controlled like a puppet. friendship is at times, beastly.
will still study a bit because i duwan to disappoint those who really care for me.
that's all i wanna say today.

做人要惜福
还是活在当下吧=)
as expected, i met a lot of pp during cny.
but unexpectedly the excitement and passion of meeting everyone is diminishing.
not because the pp are less awesome
no worries friends, you pp still rock=)
perhaps the perception of impermanence is permeating through my brain holes (not literally of course).
also perhaps it's an excuse to neglect my awaiting....errands.
i'm tired.
and hmm...
february is good. so far.
once again, thank you peeps for adding colors to my life=)
and btw, should i continue to contemplate whether or not to be motivated?
lack of extrinsic motivation? (though it's the intrinsic that counts)
oh, and i'm feeling incompetent almost every friday 12:30 to 2:30pm.
i'm updating=)

appreciation.
note: boring post. seriously.
i wandered in the library aimlessly searching for a comp to do my assignment when one of my tutees who's a Korean mum approached me for Stats homework.
so i thought her the basic stuffs and i was utterly shocked that ms W already taught them ANOVA which is supposed to be taught end of the semester. no wonder they couldnt understand what she said. and i felt my burden as a tutor increasing because i'm doubting my ability to prepare them for ms W's lectures.
and the conversation became more informal when i suggested she should teach me Korean language in return and we began talking about Boys Over Flower and Beethoven Virus=) and she also shared with me her hardships she's undergoing as a mother and as a student. i really pity her because she has so many responsibilities in hand and she's always burning the midnight oil to attempt to digest what ms W said in class. and she's not complaining a single bit. which makes me wonder why am i complaining because of *toot toot toot*. (dont ask, people who know, they know)
although i'm only approaching 20 and i shouldnt be comparing with the Korean tutee, but i should start to learn how to bear more responsibilities in the CORRECT manner. "compassion should come with wisdom", as what dad said, but i'm totally not living up to that.
i've learnt in psychology that people who're in the situation (in this case me) tend to make situational attributions by blaming external factors when things are not going the way we want. and i totally agree with that. i know the external factors that i'm having now totally suck....sucks BIG TIME....but i should learn to overcome all these and acquire wisdom from this matter but seriously i dunno what to do.
at times i thought of neglecting all my obligations and responsibilities since it really doesnt matter to me at this point of time (again, those who know, they know). but i'm fully aware that this is just a sign of avoidance, and it's not going to do me any good. the perfectionist self is bugging me to give it all even though i'm not responsible for its consequences at this point of time. i feel stupid.
nevertheless, i'm glad that there're people out there who sincerely care for me and are really concerned whether i'm still breathing normally or not. and even though i'm not being normal i'll still tell them i'm normal because i duwan them to worry for me. (the word breathing is just an analogy) and seriously, i thank you all for that because you guys are seriously awesome but i'm also really sorry that i've been complaining a hell lot these days. and i'm having a bad feeling that i'll break down again next month. as for those *toooooooooot* i dunno what to say but erm, thanks for letting me know that i've been stupid all these while? as people always say, enemy makes us grow up. so i should really bow down to you guys that i'm really experiencing some tough mental grow up?
i feel so much better after typing all these. i'm still surviving. even if i'm not, i'll live up to it.
hwaiting!!

big. huge. enormous. warmth.
a few of the gang including me went to X's house 3 hours before the housewarming+bday party started... (NOTE: X does not wish to state his/her name here. so even if you really know who X is, please dont blurt it out here tqvm)
and it was totally worth it because...
1. it's a 3-storey bungalow.
2. there's a mini waterfall in which the water flows into the pond with really nice and big japanese koi inside.
3. there's a 'greenhouse' where there're lots of flowers in it. you know smtg like those gardens in Cameron Highlands if you've been there before.
4. her dad has a collection of orchids stored in an air-conditioned room. that's why we said that the flowers are more 幸福 than us.
5. the AV room ceiling has two rows of LED lights where it changes color all the time.
6. once you enter the main door there's this vast space for guests which is very close to the size of a ballroom.
6. (i find this most amazing) there's an ELEVATOR which can fit 3 pp in it. i tried that once=)
and many more...
so we took advantage of the karaoke and sang for a few hours. and it's good to be with them again although recently we've been meeting each other quite often eh hahaha...
and i finally cut my hair. my head is so much lighter now. phew.
and i baked cookies for cny.
and i'll be out soon to celebrate kak's bday with the same gang again.
which means i've been neglecting my assignments once again and seriously, i dont feel guilty yet.
life is about enjoying, and i totally agree with that=)

noob.
had my very first tutorial today as a tutor. tutees are juniors who're taking Quantitative Methods (Stats) this sem.
firstly i showed a very bad example to them by being late for half an hour. i have my reasons )=
and my impatience caused my car to langgar divider for the umpteenth time.
as for the tutoring part, i think i did horribly.
lotssss of room for improvement!><
had to choose btwn 3 events to attend at night.
1. cousin's wedding dinner.
2. help's charity concert and auction.
3. yumcha with jiayi and gang.
i decided to be a good girl and attended 1. in the end, the first dish was only served at 9pm and i forgot i couldnt eat a lot of things because of my piercing. (note: yes dudes, i went to pierce my ears for the very first time.) now you see why i'm so indecisive huh....because every decision that i make is a mistake>< turned out that 2 and 3 were so much more entertaining. and xj if you see this, i'm still very glad for you hahaha...
and life at uni? hmm...
