ahah.

Wasn't allowed out on tues though it's a public hol, cos my dad's coming back from overseas, i gotta stay home. BUT, he came back on monday night, so i'm free tmr. BUT i'm still not supposed to go out. oh well... shall stay home to slack/catch up on my studies.
I realised i do miss up on catching up with lots of my friends. Haven't been talking to liling, hweesh, eveline, yw recently. Been busy, but that's not exactly an excuse. I should try harder to set up meetings.
Gotta catch up on my studies too. Kinda starting to procrastinate these days. boo~
Rmb my data analysis for FYP? haha.. the supervisor said it was well done! XD surprise surprise. First time i've been praised in uni. But i think it's cos they just didn't expect so many graphs or piecharts to be used. but then.... i've more work to do now. Gotta start learning matlab and using it to start some sorting algorithm. @.@ jia you!!!
Oh! my bro gave me my bday present today~ XD grey-scale bape small plushie keychain plus angbao~ so generous this year~ haha... thanks bro! =)

22 and still.

i know you care, i'm sorry for being rude. But what's with forcing me to eat breakfast when i'm already 22years old. HELLO. i'm NOT skipping breakfast. I'm just taking a cup of milo b4 i travel to school for LUNCH. and yet, you must try to force me into eating something. FOR WHAT. i'm gonna eat in school anyway. Can't you just leave me alone? And you get all upset and offended after i end up being rude when you force me repeatedly. I mean, you can't exactly blame me right? there's a limit to my temper, i'm only human. Or maybe you can blame me after all, for being an insensitive and rude daughter.
Still, it's only breakfast. why must you make things so difficult.

Also, i was out, with aquos celebrating my bday with me. Do you really expect me to look at my watch, see it's late, tell my friends sorry, i got to leave now, right in the middle when we're playing lan? My friends made time to meet up with me, and i'm to up and go once it's late? yes, i was home late after curfew. 11+ when i'm supposed to reach home b4 11. but hey, i'm 22!! i DIDN'T go out to go clubbing or drink in a pub or flirt with some guy whatsoever. I was with my SECONDARY SCHOOL mates whom you KNOW personally. Granted, i'm late. But i msged to tell you. Is 22 not old enough to be given a little lee-way for being late? Hell, my friends don't even have curfew.

All these restrictions, and yet, i'm still the one where chores are dumped on, not my bro. sheri go change the fish water, go help me wash my shoes, go clean up the stains on the floor when you're free. I don't mind doing. Seriously. But when i'm being controlled to this extent, it's easy to get the feeling of being made used of. My bro gets to go out as and when he likes. He doesn't have curfew. He can be home at 3+4am for all he cares. Me? hope b4 a 9pm, esp just to packet dinner home. 10pm, if it's some 'special occasion'. Chores thrown to me just because i should be more free, or just because i do what i'm told to while my bro doesn't. I'm the easier one to nag at afterall.

Perhaps i should complain so much. Perhaps i should accept that this is part of being a family. I know, i'm lucky to even have parents when others don't. But sometimes i just need to rant abit.

On a lighter note, THANK YOU JACQ PRIS AND HOI for the awesome quality earpiece and hugely decorated note. =) and pancakes! and L4D2! XD

complain queen.

Ahhhhhh!!!! Allow me to panic here and complain~ spamming my blog post!!! I'm gonna die die die for fyp!!! Got thrown tons of data on an excel sheet, with tons of numbers and tons of technical terms. My job: data analysis. WHAT SHIT? nvm... out of the 2 sets of HUGE amounts of data, i finally have a rough idea what one of them is about... and my bloody excel is dying on me. Everytime i try to click 'insert graph', it freakin hangs on me!!!! I can't do graph on excel without hanging my laptop and restarting excel. How am i gonna analyse the data!?!??! *panics*
The analysis is due on wed. Specific time not given. But i'm trying to finish it all by tues night or wed early morning, so my wed can be used to do other things, and also hopefully i can give a better impression to my supervisor if i hand in work early. BUT! my laptop's excel is killing me!!!!
And i've yet to puzzle out the other set of data... Tian ah~ why my fyp like that one?!?! all the technical terms on diff part of the eye, the weird values/measurements of parts of the eye... How the hell am i supposed to analyse those data? i don't even know what's the standard measurement!!!
Aiyo!!!!! die lah die lah die lah~ and tmr i still need to waste 3 hours of travelling time for 50mins tutorial... TIAN Ah!!!! =(
~MeHhz~

Whines~

Bleh. just a stupid tutorial tmr from 2-3. Gotta travel 1hr 30mins to school for an hour of lesson and waste another 1hr 30mins to travel home. verdict: whole afternoon gone. RAWR!

Sigh.... i just feel like curling up with a cup of tea and a good book to read. Heck fyp and tutorials! as if i can..... ='(

Bought 3 books today at the central forum. 2 Classics i have yet to read, Jane Eyre and Dracula. Plus a fantasy book by Stephan Lawhead. Cheap, good books. But i don't have the time to read... sigh.

Realised my blogging frequency increased by ALOT once school reopens. ha. an act of procrastination. Lunch with bj and edison today, followed by indy~ monday seems to be a day where most pple are free for lunch! Had discussions on where we should go for grad trip. Probably Taiwan!! so we can stay in liling's house~ and probably another country. Either china, hongkong, korea or japan. Have yet to decide~ haha... I ever wondered, with my parents so strict, and me not working= no money for trips, how the hell do i decide which group of friends to travel with for grad trip. I'll probably be allowed only 1 trip by my parents. After chatting with jacq, i decided to follow whichever group that goes to where i want, and is the most affordable. That way, I won't have to choose between friends. I'm depending on the itinerary. =) travelling with friends, i'll probably enjoy more after i work and earn $$ to freely spend on things. so... grad trip choice will depend on affordability and countries~ =)

Oh and bj couple gave me matcha royce nama chocolates for bday~ XD Thankyou!!
~MeHhz~

THANK YOU!!!

Friday was my birthday! XD Didn't exactly want to remind friends cos i don't really wanna make it a big deal. Friends who rmb, i'll appreciate knowing that they do keep me in mind. =) It's quite comforting that those who rmb are my old buddies, who msg me just past 12, etc.... da jie, jacq, hoi, pris, my aunts, my cousins, hl, etc... (there's still quite a few but i'm too tired to go check my hp and type it in). Even yw called me just b4 12mn! haha. AND indy rmb too. haha... they are awesome.

Anyway, lessons on fri was from 9-11, and then i was supposed to meet hweesh for lunch when she teaches me the route to fusionopolis. Indy then gave me a surprise lunch treat by already being at fusionopolis japanese restaurant when i reached there. =) i'm still so glad i've spent my happiest 2 years of uni living with them. Met my fyp supervisor after that and realised they actually expect quite alot. save me. :X haha... anyway, reached tampines about 4pm, too early for dinner. Stayed at tampines 1 manpuku to mug while waiting for my mum and bro to meet me at 6.30pm. And surprisingly, i met my cousin mugging at manpuku too! Haha... He was mugging for his upcoming A level prelims. Ended up sitting with him to mug, then met my family for dinner, bought a river gauche small choco cake, went home cut cake~ and that's the end of my birthday! =) So much wanted to go for Timbrefest but alas, family comes first. It's been 4 years in NUS, and i've yet to get a chance to go for timbre fest, or RH bash. Or rather, i've yet to step into a club. Haix.... 22 years old and i'm still such a kid. Just hope i can survive in the real world when i've graduated. :X

Taking the chance to go out when my parents are being slight more lax with the issue of 'me not going out too much', since it's my bday period, I joined john, jy and hweesh for a tou of singapore. Or rather, tour part 1 of the 'bring john around s'pore tour'. Acted like a tourist travelling around chinatown area~ Kinda fun cos seriously, cos my parents seldom let me out anyway, chances of me touring singapore for attractions and good food are close to nil. =) enjoyed myself with them but had to leave halfway and miss the other nice tours~ i wanted to go to THE national library too!!!
Anyway, i left to go for natsu matsuri~ XD met up with bj, eveline, james and andrew. As usual jalan jalan-ed around the booths and bought awesome food, etc... the meiji icecream was SUPER NICE!!! haha.. played the water balloon again, and still failed to pick a balloon. Thanks jean for giving me one of yours! =) went for texas chicken dinner with them~ then home.

Wha.... super tired now. Tmr was supposed to meet up with aquos, but prissypoo is sick! so i'll meet them next week instead. Have yet to get a present from my parents and bro cos i still haven't decided what i want. XD Yup, birthdays in my family are like that, we get to decide what we want and the other will buy for you. (obviously it has to be within budget) Am still thinking of what i should get, hee hee... Got a card, and Japan lego landmark from Indy! It looks like the temple in asakusa but i'm not very sure~ gonna fix it up soon and take a pic! =)

K i'm seriously dead tired now.... more or less burnt my feet in the indian temple this afternoon cos we had to walk barefooted to tour the temple and the sun was shining brightly on the temple compounds... t'was fun trying to avoid the HOT pavements though. XD I wanna go for singapore tour part 2! hopefully my workload/parents will allow me to join when it's the next tour~
~MeHhz~

oh damn, i'm reminded of those times.

Lessons ended at 12 today. Kinda proud i paid attention during the whole lecture today! Achievement! haha... i didn't doze off though i had 4 hours of sleep~ probably cos i know that's the only lesson i have today, so i shouldn't waste time in school sleeping. Hur....
Kinda miss eating all together with jean, brandon, eveline and uday since this sem we all have diff timetable. I guess it's part of being year 4, all the random mods we take. Oh well.... And i met ryan in engine canteen today. He made me realise something. I DO MISS RH PPLE. I thought after not contacting indy for such a long time, i might learn to let go of hall life, to be satisfied with living at home, and that to meet up occasionally with them would be enough. But i realise, i do miss all the times. Seeing john and ryan joke about. Having htht with hweesh and liling. Eating dinner with indy. Having enjoyable ccas. Laughing at all the funny antics each indy have. room sessions. supper. rawr. I've been trying not to go back to RH, to avoid reminding myself of fun times. But i guess i'll still end up dropping by when i'm free-er, after FYP to-do stuff is finalised.
AND, i ditched the bj (brandon-jean) couple today to meet jacq for lunch. hee hee... At least i won't be a lightbulb! :P anyway, i FINALLY went to eat @ sun with moon, a japanese restaurant in wheelock place. Awesome food. Ex though. But the Tofu-cheesecake~ omg... so nice. haha..

My FYP supervisor is damn cute can. Haha... i was emailing him asking him when he's free. He replied friday. Then i asked for his address, then he gave me a website for details. Throughout the emails, i've addressed him as Dr. Liu, though he always signs off as Jimmy. Then my last email to him was "Thanks Prof. Liu!" for giving me the website, and he replied: " Hi Sheri, call me Jimmy lah :-). "
HAHAHA.... so cute lah! But so strange, calling a supervisor by his name... Gotta get used to it. Haha. Best thing is, i haven't even met him. And from his pic on the website, he looks sooo much like prof chew. Haha.
~MeHhz~
Added a new song. Heard it from a friends blog. Loved it. =)

Lucifer~

The 8th Saturday since i started the course during the hols.
Finally finished learning the steps to Lucifer! haha....
I'm satisfied. For a noob beginner, at least i know i can learn dance steps fast enough, even though i practically don't practice at all at home. At least i know i won't lumber around like an elephant with my fat ass. haha.... I know my movements are totally not sharp enough, but hey~ i'm a beginner, at least i know i can do it with more practice. =) Am satisfied at last. At least i can happily tell myself i did try to dance despite my size, since i daren't try RH dance at all. Below's the youtube on shinee dancing to lucifer. I learnt and memo-ed all the steps OKAY! I'm not some fat lump bouncing about~ XD
The awesome real dancers:

Hmm... met my FYP prof on friday. Super nice guy. But my fyp is damn cheem. Some image processing thing using mahine language algorithm, means i gotta learn matlab. Plus, i might need to create a new algorithm, or at least add on the the existing one. :X Argh... learning matlab, plus image processing, plus research on existing algorithms in the market, etc... so screwed. haha.. But at least it seems interesting. Lucky hweesh has some notes on image processing so i know where to start. haha... And i gotta travel to biopolis to meet my research supervisor also... gotta email him tmr....
RAWR. Jia you!! final year!!
~MeHhz~

first day of school~

Eh.... straight away i had 6 hours of lecture on the first day of school. Sigh.... But thankfully, due to the new campus, lessons have all been cut short to about 1.5hours each, instead of 2 hours. Tired and sleepy, and yet i'm not sleeping yet. Tmr's a super shuang day, having only 9-11am lessons. Still thought i could go home, but Prof wants to meet me at 4.30pm instead. Zzzzz.... there goes my afternoon, slacking around in school.

National day just passed by. I do miss the singing sessions during secondary/jc time, esp when the singapore songs were still so awesome. Jacq came to stayover on the 8th night and we ended up sleeping at 6am on the 9th. haha... Busy watching drama. 5 episodes from 1am-6am. Then sleep from 6am-1pm. Followed by the remaining 5 episdoes from 1pm-6.30pm. Awesome. haha... Missed having Aquos sleepovers, but i don't miss the cleaning up. :P At least when it's only jacq sleeping over, i don't have to clean up since there's no mess.

Hmm.... It's weird how others can condemn another just because of some misinterpretation. Acts done out of kindness end up painting a bad image of that kind soul. The world of adults is such a complicated arena, and i'm just having my first step forward. I'm not experiencing anything shocking, but that's probably cos i'm still leading a perfectly sheltered life at home and in uni mugging. I guess i can adapt rather easily since transition to living in hall was no bother to me. But in the world of gossips and human relations, seeing how relatives view one another, etc..... I'm kinda dreading graduating and working life. But then again, come on sheri, you always complained about being pampered, wanting to get out of the cage. Time to brave the outside world, or at least start preparing for it. =)
~MeHhz~

Thankful. =)

Some friends say i'm too 'anything', allowing pple to push me around. But i guess, in a way i seriously hate conflicts and stuff, so i'll more or less be fine with anything thrown at me unless it crosses my tolerance threshold, which is actually rather high. I guess i forgive easily, but don't exactly forget. Still, sometimes i'll want to rant, about everything, life, school, friends, family, etc...
And it's times like these that i'm thankful for that small handful of friends i have. I guess i'm rather sensitive, in a sense that b4 i feel comfortable to chat with a friend, i'll think twice on the impacts of my words and stuff. I don't wanna come across as proud, ranting to someone about something when he/she is worst off than me. I also don't wanna come across as some pity-seeking emo kiddo. I just need to know that these friends don't misunderstand my rantings. Anglican High has indeed gifted me with 2 such friends. Yw and Jacq, both whom understands me, listen to me patiently and either sympathizes with me cos they experience it too, or is in the position to give me sound advice to make me feel better. Hweesh is another buddy that i can rant to without fear.
The phrase 'don't wash your dirty linens in public' sometimes make me wonder if i've ranted too much about my family to these friends. Should i really have said such stuff and sorts? But i've come to think that, these are friends whom i trust to not spread what i rant and gossip, having known them for so long. So why fear? I do need an avenue to air my feelings sometimes anyway. And for listening to me, chatting with me, i wanna thank you'll. =)
Similarly, blogging is sort of a stress reliever to me and i hope that those whom i have trusted enough to tell my blog add will not spread my blog address. I know my blog's nothing fantastic, but time to time, i'll still blog somethings which should be private. So thanks in advance. XD

On a lighter note, FINALLY went cash studio to sing japanese songs. Though i didn't exactly sing much, cos i'ld rather allow others a chance to sing instead of hogging (anyway i know most songs and can sing along without mic, and i seldom can decide what song to choose anyway), i still had fun with them all. Jean, brandon, eveline, james, andrew, edison. Dinner was pontian wanton mee, with 2 bowls of soup! haha.. the auntie gave extra bowls of soup(with wanton!) to all of us. LOL! I do miss singing K with all groups of friends.
