很多感触 说不出是什么 也不知道如何说出来 讨厌这个感觉
觉得做任何东西都是多余的 一个人在那旁默默的做事
真希望有人了解 有个知己
好希望我能够放下所有的事情
呆在家里不用管任何的事情
也许我是需要再去做我的拼图来让自己的心情平复下来。。

30 more days!! before i experience a lot of FIRST!

FIRST time sitting plane alone (lucky only for the return trip to S'pore in Dec)
FIRST time travelling in a foreign country w/o family or friends.. (even though i do get to travel quite often but it is always with my family!! so hee.. never really care abt little details.. all leave to my parents to settle.. now need to open my eyes big big!)
FIRST time staying by myself and having to look after myself (hope i dun get homesick)
FIRST time studying at an american uni, gg for roadtrips, staying at seattle.....

and the list can go on... lol..

wld be leaving s'pore on 30th aug.. flight at 6am (yar i noe super early-so i dun expect ppl to be there to send me off? cos wld be very inconvenient) wld be travelling the east coast of US and some parts of canada with my parents for 9 days (have joined tour so that they can help me carry my luggages around.. :p but think the tour gp wld be ppl from diff nationality cos we wld only be meeting the whole gp at NY) most prob meeting Kenny at philly or NY at night on one of the days there to chit chat..to be confirmed as the date draws nearer but if ur want to pass anything to him can go through me :) (but pls dun be too big stuff hor..)

wld be reaching seattle on 8th sept.. by then i wld have internet connection and can msn ur! hee.. wld first be staying at a motel with my parents till 12th sept (where i wld officially be alone in a foreign country) between 8th-12th sept wld be touring seattle with them + attending the international student orientation + settling all the admin stuff

after 12th sept? no idea.. lol.. most prob moving to the temporary hostel at the uni and waiting for my permanant housing (if i can get one..else i wld have to go house hunting alone.. blah).. but in the meantime shld be attending some more orientation program or travelling to neighbouring states (if can meet other exchange students) school only starts on 24th Sept (which falls within the one week break for nus students? lol.. nus students half the sem gone already then i start school..)

haha.. school is straight for 12 weeks with no breaks in between (unless u count thanksgiving holiday) and a straight 4 days of exams (all UW exams falls within 4 days.. and the date and time of ur exam depends on the date and time of the first lecture of that module.. so confirm no clashes and i can only say siao.. cos all exams clear within 4 days..)

my last paper falls on 12th dec and then i be flying back to s'pore on 13th dec morning.. so shld be back in singapore on 15th dec (if u count all the time difference and stopover)

whee~ feeling happy today! :D finally found something i wanted for very long...

went to Bras Basah to find my textbooks but just got no luck at the 2nd hand bookstore.. in the end went to Clementi Bookstore and finally NUS Coop.. Finally at Coop then manage to place an order for one book.. hope they would be able to place an order for the other book! anw.. this is not the main topic of this entry.. :p

haha... i finally manage to find my storybooks after so many years!! Drina! hee.. even though only manage to find 3 books.. but at least there is 3!!

hmm.. with the one book that i already have.. i still need to find 7 more books!! oh man.. haaha

anyone find these books familiar?? haha they are out of print already.. but most commonly found in primary and secondary school libraries.. have read them countless times and i'm still not bored of it! still remember in sec 4.. before i graduated.. i went to borrow every single book to read cos i noe it wld be very hard for me to get my hands on them again.. who cares if it is written for ages 9-12 :p:p:p luv it!!

The Drina series, a collection of books first published in England in 1957, expresses all the wistfulness and determination of a devoted balletomane as she struggles for her place at the barre and in the world of dance. From her earliest years, orphan Drina has loved movement and dance, but her grandmother-guardian has always discouraged her. When Drina enters a new school, and meets a girl named Jenny, her yearnings are more intense than ever. Jenny, who dislikes ballet, studies at the Selswick School, and only by lobbying hard does Drina, too, start lessons. By the time the story ends, readers learn the source of Drina's grandmother's hesitation, melodramatic and satisfying for all its incredibility. Drina's old-fashioned willfulness and her desire to dance will be joyfully embraced by ballet fans.

There are 11 books in total:
1. Ballet for Drina
2. Drina's Dancing Year
3. Drina Dances Alone / Drina Dances in Exile
4. Drina Dances on Stage / Drina Dances in Italy
5. Drina Dances Again
6. Drina Dances in New York
7. Drina Dances in Paris
8. Drina Dances in Madeira
9. Drina Dances in Switzerland
10. Drina Goes on Tour
11. Drina Ballerina

still remember when i was young i came across stacks and stacks of these books in bookstores.. but my mom dun want to buy for me and my sis.. wonder what happen to all these stacks of books.. hmm.. anyone so happen to have these books at home?? in some forgotten corner of the house?? hee want to consider selling to me?? :p:p:p

hope i can find the other 7 books sooooonnnn... :D

Am glad the internship is finally over! not a very beneficial 9 weeks.. but at least i noe more abt mosquitoes and a little of how things are done in a Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council..

the last week of internship was spent writing PTS report (can be considered completed bah.. just have to run through it again to ensure the tone of the report is neutral.. that's a little hard..), helping the finance dept with some admin stuff and watching shows again.. :p

tons of shows were watched within 6 weeks.. let's see.. (for my own reference)

Movies:
- The Monster House
- Bee Movie
- Balls of Fury
- The Spiderwick Chronicles
- The Other Boleyn Girl
- The Pursuit of Happiness
- Horton Hears a Who!
- Fantasic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
- Kung Fu Dunk

Korean Dramas:
- 署童谣
- 豪杰春香
- Surgeon Bong Dal Hee
- Billy Jean, My Love

Others:

- One Episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

hee.. opps.. the list is quite long.. don't think i would ever be able to complete such a feat ever again..

on the last day, we bought sugar roll from Polar for everyone in the office.. even though we never even talk to more half of them before.. cos cannot only give the ppl at the finance dept (who are the ones who really treated us really good and acknowledge our existence).. wld be quite wierd to give them but not to our supervisor..

those in the office (except one person) just thank us and wish us all the best for our studies.. quite awkward cos they also dunno what to say to us and vice versa..
but our in-charge.. upon seeing the sugar roll ask us whether issit we want to make him fat.. -_-'' and when he see us gg around the office giving out the cake.. he said 'wow so fast.. now giving out wedding cake already ar..' the 3 of us could only roll our eyes lar.. lame.. lucky i'm not seeing him again and pity my fellow intern friend who receive his call yesterday.. *irritating*

anws.. glad to have Pei Yun and Xiu Ming around for the 9 weeks :D to watch dramas together, to laugh abt things together.. now we have tons of jokes that only the 3 of us understand.. haha..
also thxful to the finance dept staff :D at least they acknowledge our presence and talk to us.. hee.. it's also because of them that we got some work to do during the last few weeks of internship *not complaining!*

hope next year internship would be more fruitful and enjoyable :D

~off to enjoy my holiday!~

okie after all the emailing.. i'm still not able to map one of my foundation module *Project Scheduling and Control*.. so have to come back to s'pore and take in Year 4.. still in the midst of settling another module *Material Technology* .. the prof yet to reply but i hope i'll be allowed to take it.. else i really be dead..

other then that.. i've settled the other modules i would be taking there.. would be clearing my breadths and GEM (at least i'm able to get approval from NUS side! yippee) :)
would be taking:

*pls pls let everything go as plan.. dun screw me up.. PLS!*



and a few hours later.. it didn't go as plan.. i'm so dead and screwed up.. *PISS*
