i guess it's kind of weird. and i shouldn't be thinking like this.
but these couple of days, i've been wondering...
if hardcore engineering is really for me.

i mean i like it. but i don't know.
guess it's just the momentary feeling of uncertainty.
though i really think that i can still do so much more if given the chance.

yeah cny's been good.

another hectic day today running from mum's side to elaine's house for the interns cny gathering and finally to dearie's place.

life's good.

feeling more at ease... feeling more of the family feel at his side. i like that comfortable feeling =)

enjoyed myself loads. fav cny stop of the season =)

his turn to come over tmr! yay means i get to see you again! =D

haha this is turning out to be quite a good break from everything =)

hello =)

it's been awhile.
it's been a hectic couple of weeks.
weeks, days, hours zooming past me with the blink of an eye.

life's been good. tiring trying but good.
internship's been awesome.
wastewater's getting more and more intriguing
water or wastewater? wastewater hands down.
enjoying evey moment of this IA. though its really tiring to juggle it with night classes, late night chingay practices and other random stuff.
can't wait till chingay's over (soon soon yesssahhh! =p)
intern cny gathering tmr =)
pretty thankful that we're quite a close bunch of interns (probably partially cos there are so few of us)
was initially quite apprehensive to be the only environmental engineering student going to SUT. only kinda spelt lonely to me at that time. haha ah well. but i'm glad we cliqued. we're even going for an intern holiday in late july. =p anddd im learning chinese bit by bit everyday. and french too. i'm gonna be tri-lingual at the end of this internship man. yessah. lol =p
great bunch of intern friends, great supervisors and collegues who never fail to make me smile no matter how tired i am. what more could i ask for =)
and gosh think my little problem with heights is partially back.
that day on top of the isotanker. got that little panicky feeling deep down inside. something i haven't felt in awhile.
think i've been off high elements for too long. gotta do something about it.
go do more bungee thingys, rock climbing, roller coasters, climbing up trees that kinda stuff.
sometimes i think.. i'm quite... man-ly LOL =x sometimes. only. yeah. haha =x















a little chingay preview haha =p

and during this period of time, someone grew muchhh older.
someone's almost... just almost a quarter of a century old now. hahaha
(okie now you're gonna kill me for rubbing it in again lol)
and here comes his four part surprise =)














good spanish food, good ambience and good company. lol.















ta-da! twenty four! haha and my really melted lemon cheesecake =s



















his favourite rarh =)



















haha the fourth part... shall remain as a secret. LOL. =p

ahaha ah well. anyway xin nian kuai le people! =D
great break to recharge a lil before chingay comes at full force =s haha

back to ia reporting it is =p

alrights.
this sucks.
there's a reason why i don't play bball anymore.
and there's a bigger reason why i never stepped into that same court again.
to have to stand there and watch something that looked precatiously like the match last year was heart wrenching.
the same looks the same cheers the same omg feeling the same feeling heartdrop feeling each time the ball falls through that hoops.
painful to watch.
i hate competitions.
but then again. it's probably just how a captain feels.
after going through so much. training the team. leading the team. it hurts to watch it all end just like this.
sometimes you wonder if you could have done more. even though deep inside you already know that you tried your best.

2010 Yearly Horoscope, for Virgo

Overview
Whew! Feel that enormous burden sliding off of your shoulders, like you've been carrying around an overstuffed backpack for the last couple of years? That would be Saturn, planet of structures and limitation, moving out of your sign. Congratulations, first of all, on having simply made it through more or less in one piece. You passed through the fire and made it out the other side.Now, what to do with that spiritual Medal of Honor you've earned? Well, for one thing, establish who it is you really are with both yourself and those around you. Your ability to quietly endure both the big and little outrages of life have served you well in the last couple of years, and many of those around you may have come to assume that either it wasn't as rough on you as it was, or that you are somehow made of steel. In fact, you may have come to the same conclusion yourself. Virgo has a reputation for being able to take care of others with the best of them -- but can you turn that same care and attention on yourself? That's the big question you'll be facing in 2010.The good news (beyond simply less bad news) is that there will be all kinds of opportunities opening up for you in new directions as far as fun, recreation and romance. So take advantage of those whenever you can. You've earned it!

Romantic
This is the year that everything changes, one way or another! Saturn has left your sign, so you aren't feeling as weighed down by life as you once were. Pluto is transiting your Romance House, bringing revolutionary changes to your love life and your romantic pursuits. And, to top it all off, two eclipses hit your romance sector.The first of the two happens in January, and makes for a major shift that will carry on throughout the first few months of the year. If you are currently in a stable committed relationship, be prepared for some jolts. Don't panic just yet; the jolt will be of a temporary nature, but could bring long-standing issues to the surface that need to be addressed for the sake of the relationship.Then in July, a second eclipse will liven things up again. Unlike the previous eclipse that landed in your House of Committed Relationships, this one affects your House of Love Received. Certainly if you are in a long-term relationship at the time, it will be affected. But even if you aren't, don't be surprised if new romantic potentials appear out of nowhere -- or from a direction you didn't expect.If you are in a committed relationship, the first month of the year is generally good. Then from February onwards, Jupiter rolls into your Eighth House. This brings a new emphasis on the physical side of your relationship. A bit of a caution though: this doesn't necessarily just mean your partner. Whether it's appropriate or not, prepare to be hit on a lot.

Career
The big news for Virgo this year for work and money is not so much an onslaught of good news as it is the release of tremendous pressure. Neither Saturn nor Pluto have done you any favors in the last two years. Fortunately for you, they've both moved on to make economic trouble for someone else. The next year of your financial life should run far more smoothly than you've gotten used to, and your perseverance will be rewarded in 2010.Part of the gains you'll be making will be as a result of good old-fashioned penny-pinching and money management. Whether you had a natural inclination that way before, you will find that you have newfound talents in the wise spending department.Your personal earning ability will also be improving in the next year. April and May will bring opportunities for you to either shine within the context of the job you already have, or to reach out and find something new. There are no particular warning signs for the next year, but you may want to start giving some real thought to what the next logical step should be on your career path. If there is one downside to the work year ahead, it's a nagging doubt that you are in the right place and using your talents to your advantage. The last three months of the year in particular -- the holiday rush season in many lines of work -- may find you questioning whether your current position is the best for you. Do your groundwork, and opportunities will present themselves at this time.

haha HMM quite true quite true.

especially the overview. and the romantic too. january haha interesting haha mmm

i remember pacing up and down that pathway next to woodlands mrt... nervously... waiting for you to come pick me up to visit your mum's shop and family for the first time. =p

i remember you walking me from woodlands to rp's park for a little nature walk for our 6th month =)

it felt so weird taking the escalator up the mrt without someone to hug and cling on to real tight.

i hope you're enjoying your trip loads!

lovelove from a crazily tired fishie <3

cos we're both way too busy =s

microbiology paper in the morning

awesome 9am papers

shit. im feel so stressed over screwing up waste management.

can't seem to get it off my mind.

please please please give me a B+.

i begggg of you.

don't give me anything below B.

though the more i think of it. looking at the way i answered the questions, the more i think i might have deserved that.

if only i could turn back time =(

someone please pray for me.

arggh. okie. now please make up for it kim.

learn to let go.

you have three chances left.

don't regret.

make it up.

icandothis.

and especially for you, i won't give up. as promised =)

sigh the more i think about it,

the worse i think i fared for my waste management paper that day.

not just the 20 mark calculation that i couldn't do.

but also the crappy answers that i gave even though i knew what was going on. =(

pls pls don't let me drop too many grades.

b+ will do for me =) (though now i think i need a miracle to get that =( )

sigh okie make up for it with microbio air and water. come on.

focussss O.O

stressedddd =(

haha yay! and im halfway through.

and i got my two wastewater quizzes back =)

and i realised i've scored 31.5 out of the 35 % possible that we've gotten back.

omggg. ifff my individual proj turns out fine... and i can somehow keep it up and do well for my final paper... YAY!

the most important module to me now cos i wanna major in that.

alrights. but i'll only touch it after microbiology and air pollution control are over.

and i must must stop slacking and playing so much. time to focus.

tmr will be a better day =)

okieee... to a crazily xiong week ahead...

I CAN DO THIS.

i really really want/need my honours.

and i really hope you do well too =)

you're my inspiration =p

okay. two days wasted.

gone to procrastination.

come on kim pull yourself together.

just four more.

you can do it.

you're almost there.
