Procrastinate IS my middle name

Recess week was here?! How come I didn't get anything done AT ALL?!

This is quite serious. If I were the anxiety attack type, I'd probably be running around pulling my hair out and surpressing a scream.

But it turns out I am a hedonistic procrastinator, so I don't give a damn. Given the number of middle names I have, how does Christine hedonistic party procrastinate Chew sound? *roll eyes. That was lame.

3 reports, 2 presentations, 1 mid term. And Nothing is finalised yet. Very smooth, Chris.

What Turkey.

Monday was out with Cher to the Istanbul Festival at ACM. Yeah right. More like a pasar malam + 1 carpet store + 1 Turkish Committee thingy. Anyway I bought pretty hairclips and a pair of cute strappy sandals! :D Saw Jiawei, but he totally gave me this blank/cool look. Eh. I think I've just been snubbed for the first time in my life. Haha.

More Pink Stuff!

Went shopping on Monday with Chris! Zara disappointed, but if Bohemian was coming back, Yay!!! I still have the Mango catalogue. That top was too cute to pass up, and it's only 49 bucks! Oh ya, I bought a pair of shoes (again). Pink Audrey Hepburn-ish heels! *love* And a pink Jordi Labanda notebook!

Being Spontaneous!

Tuesday I crashed Sam's hall and lecture! It was fun, I didn't know they had such fun classes there. No need for lecture notes, calculators, no need to frantically copy formulas and what they hell each symbol meant. No need to look at 2094375 numbers a day. Love it. Anyhow. Did stuff! Went to queensway and bought this really cute earrings from Frezx (or something like that) and a cute diamonte hairclip. Then went to Anchor Point Haagen Daz, but it didn't have what we wanted, so we took a cab straight to Holland V's HD. Haha.. Talk about being spontaneous! :)

Anyway, I want to digress for a while. There is a really cute skirt at Bodynits. I AM GOING TO PURCHASE THAT! It will be mine! (No, I am not a maniacal shopaholic)

Being horrible and unreliable

Didn't go to Zouk and Nitrar BBQ in the end. That's cause I'm horrible and unreliable. So there.

Wednesday!

Was spent with the Mentoring people. Played captain's ball (yay! I love Captain's Ball) and then went for dinner at west coast. Er the big hawker center place. Then went to this park where they have this rope pyramid thingy. We climbed up there and talked about vacation plans! yay! Phuket!!! :D

Okay, I shall talk about more serious issues next time. I'm sleepy.

Yay!

Today was not too bad, with the exception for finance test. (which is alright. I'm not thinking full marks, I'm thinking decent pass)

After test, I was on 96 home, when I realised I have a bizcom meeting at 5. And because I felt stupid taking 96 back again, so I ended at Clementi Giodano buying something. That's right. When I'm bored, I buy stuff. *shrug. So I was there buying this pink polo top (yay! my first pink polo shirt!) when the giodano guy was taking my top to the counter. This lady was in the queue in front of me and caught sight of my shirt. She she was like touching it and stuff, and truth be told, I don't really like people touching my clothes when I have not started wearing it yet. I'm weird like that.

But for some reason, I gave her a big smile. Maybe cause she looks like the nice and kindly type. Then when it's about my turn to pay, she asked me if I had the giodano member card. I didn't have, and she offered to let me use hers! Haha. So nice right. She's really nice la. The whole of Giodano is nice. The staff are nice, the clothes (I've been buying tons of giodano stuff. Spag top in 2 colours, t shirt top in 2 colours, racer back top in 2 colours, khaki pants, polo tees.) are nice. etc etc.

Anyway, Sam said she could probably help me get tix for this Thursday's Singapore Idol! Yay! :D

Anyway, the strangest people makes you feel the most self conscious. But that's another entry altogether. Shall talk about it when I have the time.

I have no idea what to name this entry

Ming once wrote on my friendster testimonial that I can be a really great friend, but ‘one can be ‘freezed’ by her too’.

Of course, I take that to mean that I can be a real icy bitch at times. Haha. And I don’t deny that, I can be a really horrible bitch at times. If you piss me off, I certainly won’t hesitate.

Like last night when I smsed this girl to ask her if she would mind doing one part of the presentation (due today), cause the part was currently untaken, and I couldn’t take it anymore; I had too much stuff on hand. She never smsed me back. A couple of my friends also know that that is one of my biggest pet peeve. When I ask you a question, you better answer. (I am quite a stickler for that. Sorry)

When I saw her this morning, I had to make sure. Therefore, the first thing I asked her was whether she received my message. When she said yes, I shot her one of my ‘looks’. Probably what Ming meant by ‘freezing’. I asked her why didn’t she reply. She said that she didn’t reply because she didn’t want to take up the additional part.

Okay, let me redeem myself a little here. 1) I was doing all the compiling work for this project, I know that her part is like one of the least portions. 2) I smsed her an important question pertaining to a project presentation, which she ignored, and proceeded on to be nonchalant about it. 3) She went on to say ‘It’s okay, I think you should do it, since it’s so little anyway’

I am a bitch. I hated her because 1) The use of ‘It’s Okay’. It pisses me off more than I can say. Why are you saying ‘it’s okay’ to me when you’re at fault?! 2) She is obviously lazy and incompetent 3) My part is already 10 minutes long. This is a group project lasting 20 minutes long. It is obviously off, and it would be quite a sucky project if it were so uneven.

So I basically was a bitch to her for about 15 minutes. I told her that if she didn’t want to do stuff, could she please sms me back. I didn’t care that my tone of voice was really mean. I thought she deserved it. And when I dislike you, I make it really apparent.

And people really shouldn’t piss me off at 830 in the morning before I had my first cup of coffee.

Bitch

I can be such a bitch sometimes.

But I love it. Lalala. So sue me.

Sick

It is so not attractive to double over coughing like mad. I mean, I think I cough pretty unattractively; like bent over clutching my stomach and this hollow coughing voice. Not a pretty sight.

I think I should go see a doctor... it's been 2 weeks

A stream of consciousness entry

Just a short entry cause I haven't been updating.

Nathanael called me at 3 am yesterday?! That was damn weird. Which reminds me I better go get the IonePlus plan soon. I need to jump on the free incoming bandwagon.

Which also reminds me. Gmail. Weisiong sent me 3 invites for Gmail, 1 of which didn't reach me, and the other 2 already had accounts created. Or something like that. Dammit. Does gmail not like me? :/

Also, I've finished writing my cover letter and resume which I have been putting off... because Procrastinate is my middle name. Got a copy from the PC, and I just modified it here and there. Cover letter was from scratch though... Who knows it would be so hard to write a cover letter? Gosh. I felt like I was writing a personal ad... haha.

I can't wait till end of Tuesday next week! 2 Presentations down and 1 quiz down! Yay!

Only I had to worry about my OM and 1021 term paper next. Yuch.

Oh well. The only cheery thing is that 2046 is coming out soon! And will be hanging out with my best friends Sam and Cher soon! Yay! Can't wait to crash CS. Haha.

Anyway, I'm having a craving for snowskin mooncakes.


Yum. Not necessarily the ones from the picture (which by the way is from Shangri La, and probably costs like, a lot). I can content with the ones from Begawan Solo! I love the green tea filling ones! *love! I never really liked the pastry skins one, only the snowskins one. Heh.

Okay. What else. I've bought 2 books. The paperback copy of The Five People You Meet in Heaven. (Finally they have the paperback one! The hardcover one costs 25!) and Deception Point by Dan Brown. Slowly savouring Five People. Such a beautiful story. I really like the way Albom writes. Also Paulo Coelho. Very straightforward, very simple, but so meaningful. When you read what they write, it's almost like you've had this thought in your mind all the time, but that you didn't know how to put it across. Then here these 2 writers come, say it in such simple language and it makes such an impact on you. It's strange.

It reminds me. I have not completed the Curious Case of the Dog at Midnight. And Sophie's World. And the Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl. And The Alchemist. I should really stop buying books and start reading what I have on my shelf. Oh ya, I read Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho though... It's really good!

Okay I'm getting sleepy. Got home at 4 yesterday, woke up at 11 and went straight to the library to study. I'm tired.

I am not a tech savvy person. So I guess crying helps

Just got a new printer (Epson Stylus. Really nice black covering compared to the yuck beige ones that Canon has. Epson Stylus has more er... style I guess. Hoho.) that replaced my ancient Canon one. Which has been around since we first got a computer. Which makes it about 11 years old.

Goodness. That IS ancient.

Anyway, I still have trouble printing my notes. Was thinking I can finally stop hanging out at the computer centre printing my notes and do it at home, and you know, I can be more constructive with my breaks in school. Like maybe lounge around the canteen and gossip. Or something.

But the printer's not working the way I want it to be!

Ack. I think it's just me. I even had trouble putting the stupid ink catridge in. Which resulted in a huge quarrel with Alex and the parentals cause I was frustrated. And resulted in me crying in my room cause I felt so lousy and unloved. I think I've been crying quite a lot these days. I wonder why. Spritual catharsis and all that jazz. But it's like all of a sudden I don't have enough tears to continue crying, and so I stopped, and brought the printer over to Harvey Norman for them to fix.

I think I must be quite a sorry sight. Red eyes, crappy clothes, messy hair, coughing like mad and sunburnt skin. I think the Harvey Norman people probably felt sorry for me. The guy was very nice though, installed all the things for me, wrapped it up nicely and stuff.

Ai... I feel so crap now. And tired too. And so 'nothing to look forward to' - ish. It's very sad. I'm very sad.

Sad sad sad.

I guess my life will be nothing but tutorials and lectures for the next couple of weeks till exams and then the next semester will come and I'll still be here at about 1256 am complaining about my crappy unexciting lifestyle. SAD

Damn it! I want some kind of excitment! Any kind!

Okay. At least I'll be playing Captain's ball tomorrow if it's anything to look forward too.

When you get excited just by the prospect of playing captain's ball, you know your life's seriously boring.
