5:28 PM welcome DECEMBER (:

i love the macaroons - coffee, chocolate and cream (: with soba 'party', winter wear hunt and over- handburger updates from sihui for europe!

and of course, welcome home DESIREE WONG (: you've been dearly missed.

so, i'm gonna be broke buying winter wear and all the payments for exchange ): esprit or coldwear, well sihui said can always buy winter wear over in france, 20 euros for trench coat! but i guess i should better be prepared with some before landing there, yes?

the excitement is rising, but running in parallel, the apprehension. oh wells.

preparing for 2 more presentations for the faculty, meeting, list goes on. so can't exactly immerse myself in the christmas mood yet ):

but still, the christmas carols and jingles everywhere now are making me smile like an idiot (:
the christmas tree at United Square's lovely, with candy canes and big gingerbread mans, shall upload the picture another day!

3:56 PM last few days of november 2011

End of school term for 2011 (: hoorays!

Dinner at home was lovely, especially when papa cooked the awesome fish again. jammed with bro with his electric guitar and my not-so-in-tune piano.then had mama dancing with guitar and funny headress, and that got papa laughing like mad! ((:

I miss having fun at home, should really have more of this before I really fly off to France. oh, and our mini christmas tree is up, on top of the piano, with its flickers of lights.

Met with new IITS CIO today, and am glad that the school's really taking care of students, be it both network or service, hopefully things will be better in the coming school term.

2 more presentations for me to go, one last exco meeting, exco retreat, AGM, and that will be it. this feeling seems so surreal, surreal that I'm actually stepping down. but am joyful, for all the battles will soon come to an end. got to hang in there - and truly, God's grace is sufficient for me.

Time for christmas carols now, Charlotte Church, all time favourite!

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime, soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass
when a child is born

8:54 AM its just ONE MORE MONTH to my favourite day of the year!

im done with Ethics, CSR and discrimination. Didnt manage to finish the limitations of principles due to time constraint, but oh wells, at least for now i dont have to think of ethical questions for a bit. though this is contestable given the array of ethical problems we face everyday, but the rigour of Ethics totally drove me mad for the past 3 days. byebye!

now it's the jolly christmas. i love the starbucks cup design for christmas, especially the snowflakes (: they are lovely! am waiting for my vanilla latte small now, i love the mix of vanilla and latte, hopefully France has something even more amazing for my caffeine addiction (: even typing this line, i can imagine myself sitting at some floral cafe in some cozy corner of Reims, champagne. wait, i have not ordered my airflight! better do so soon too, ayee and my insurance.

Haha, it's amazing how i talk as if i dont i've anymore exams, but alas no. ONE MORE PAPER to go. Consumer behaviour, well it's really a course I enjoy (: understanding consumers' behaviour, what can be more fundamental to marketing than this!

Just gotten my creative comms results yesterday. B for class participation, how disappointing. And i really wish that creative comms will still be able to pull my lousy grades up ): but from the looks of it, i dont think so anymore ): BOOHOO.

Ohmy, i really have to apply visa insurance now, if not it will be too late. ohmy, I havent taken passport photos yet too! ): hopefully next monday morning is not too late to apply aye! if not I cant go johor for exco outing if passport is needed, hmm.

So long for now, when 27th november comes, this blog will be flooded with my christmas plan, christmas wishes, christmas everything.

christmas. christmas. christmas. and i'm counting down, just akin to every year.

"tis' the season to be jolly, tralalalala, lalalala"

save me i hate ethics! ):

Labels:


4:16 AM

just one more day to prepare for ethics, rather scared though, 3 more topics before going heads on with the past papers and more examples to be found online to support arguments.

anyway Ms Barka from reims finally replied my mail. so my studio in france is pre-registered already, hopefully i can secure it. my mind keep wandering off to france amidst studying, haha. not good. and i kept tumblring. not good either. haha.

sometimes, i wonder what's the point of messaging if you won't reply.
oh wells.

"here in Your promises I stand,
You hold my future in Your hand"

10:06 AM ONE DOWN!

One paper's down, 2 more papers to go.

I just gave away 8 marks for MR ): logistic regression, i dont think there's any correlation between me and regression, haha. as for other questions, i really don't know what's the outcome gonna be, but oh wells, already studied hard, and tried my best.

ethics now. crazy stack of notes to read, hopefully i can finish by thursday 830am (that's when the paper starts by the way, haha)

anyway ben and jerry's coming down to school this friday for free ice-cream giveaways! i guess i'll queue up for strawberry cheesecake! but i don't think i'm coming down to school even, well, will see how.

argh, still waiting for REIMS to confirm accommodation, really really want my studio. and my intercultural comms has yet been confirmed ): hurry hurry!

alright, back to my pile of "ethical" notes.

"so close I believe, You're holding me now
in Your hands, I belong,
You'll never let me go"

5:09 AM exams is drawing near and ending with a blink

I know that I've abandoned this blog long enough, but oh wells, i need a place to rant before i start my studying again.

Marketing research, Consumer Behaviour and Ethics, just 3 papers and I'm done with school for 2010 ((: CANT WAIT for exams to end, in fact it will end in 7 days' time from now. wheeee!

Meanwhile, preparing for France exchange (:

I hope Reims do reply me quick so that I can be at ease knowing that I've a place to stay! really hope that i get the ACOBHA campus accommodation - it's a studio with a tiny kitchen, bathtub, fridge, free WIFI, and best of all, safe! Waiting for one more module to be confirmed by LKCSB, please do let the module be intercultural comms, if not am really not sure what I'm gonna do with the mandatory module that I've to take.

Okay am going back to my notes i guess. Guess I'm gonna be back here often, kinda miss blogging. Not that i have a lot of time, but it's always good to have a place like this. Not twitter, not facebook, but just a diary.

"This alabaster jar is all I have of worth
I break it at Your feet, Lord, it's less than You deserve
You're far more beautiful, more precious than the oil
The sum of my desires and the fullness of my joy
Like You spilled Your blood, I spill my heart
As an offering to my King

Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory"
Take me
