quick post & i’m outta here.

in case you’re wondering – why do i pour my heart & soul into this bachelor tinky.

(1) doin smt for myself.

only a handful of pple understand..
after advanced dip, i swear ‘no more school’

but at 27, i found myself back in class.
despite all d stress and whines, i’m happy.

i might not get the best grades and it doesnt matter.
it’s d whole idea of doing smt for myself, that’s my wow-factor, my motivtor.

i just wanna clear all modules.
what’s d secret to happiness?
the simple answer: contentment.

(2) the monies issue

i seen some of my classmates who took classes for granted, who proudly skip class or even 15% class quiz.  hey, go ahead. esp if you have rich parents who kindly folk out 20k

( fyi – my parents have the monies but its kinda duh?! expecting my parents to pick up the tab )

like i frequently say – monies is a motivator for all d hard work. 1 module cost 1550. i say thats helluva of motivation.

(3) all the time in the world. not.

One of the biggest challenges is time mgmt. balancing work, classes, assignments, slp, family, friends, pumpkin, me-time.
unlike full time students, luxury of otot (own time own target) doing research, meetin project mates, written report. part timers operate in a totally different style. i cramped whatever time i have into reading journals on train, giving up sleep and tv-time.
exams for full time students are a leisurely affair. for me, its crawling outta bed at 6am, coffee + study before heading off to the office. REPEAT. 5 days a week.

And the ‘best’ of all – are you ready for the shocker?
i took my exams last week and ta-dah, im back to classes.
another 2 modules, 3 mths, 4 assignments, 1 class test, weekly ‘homework’ and 2 exams.  

having say all that – im not in the position to whine. there are full time working adults cum parents in my classes. seriously. where do these ppl find time? *bow down to their time-mgmt skill.

side story

to illustrate how committed i am..
i was upset with pumpkin over taking a little break after exams.
kinda upsetting when i realised we cant make it.

frustrated. disappointed and ended up in tears..
i was still crying when doing my assignments.
it was tough.. one of the toughest thing i had to do.

why didnt i take a break? goodness, i was in tears !
deadlines to meet. things to do. life goes on.
take your pick.

alritey, i’m out.
gotta slp, i’m on 2 weeks intensive classes and there’s journals winking at me. 🙂

quick blog & i’m outta here.

went facial recently.

chit-chattin with my facial girl. abt life, school, a little abt bfs, work.

den facial girl asked: your bf paying for your school fee right?

no. of coz not.*frown

facial girl goes on abt getting my bf to pay for school fee, mobile bill, insurance or even facial package.

meanwhile, i pretended to slp.. haha !

why bother to ‘correct’ her views. she’s fixed on getting bf to pay for everything and if her bf willing to pay.. who am i to comment?

plus my face in her hand !

okie i’m out.
like mummy said – exam over. watch some tv, hv some fun. 🙂

*tsk tsk

on the train, revising for exam.
look up from my notes and TADAH, armpit in my face.

durh !

gave the uncle the ‘look’
he dont get it.

shift myself and gave him the looks.
he still dont get it.

ugh !!
it’s not my fault that i’m short but it is his fault for placing his armpit near my face.

meanie me, finally swing my bag in his direction. he gotta the hint and move his arm away from my face.

finally. *breath breath. hehe

my parents are super sweet.
closed the door when they realised my neighbour’s bird chirping away.. lower the tv’s volume & mum told dad: dont sing ktv, xiao ying studying.

so thoughtful and sweet.

____________________________________________________

the things i noticed when i’m not reading journals ..

first –couple on the train.
two things abt this couple.

the woman. she wore a skirt but hv to sit and doze off with her legs.wide.open.

whatsup?!

LUCKY ME ~ !
i wasn’t sitting directly in front of her.
opps .. ! keke

guy said: maybe she’s hot. need to ‘air’ ..  haha ! hmm..

observe them for awhile longer, trying to pintpoint what’s wrong with them.

ah..

they are those typically married couples. who mind their own business.
they wasn’t even holding hands!
no, there’s no rule saying you gotta hold hands all d time but i suppose it’s a way of stayin close to each other?

im sure it wasn’t like this right in the beginning right?
musta all sweet & nice, cant get enough of each other & stuff..

so, i wondered.. when had ‘life-happens’ or when did life take away sweetness in a r/s. i think its a process which took place gradually.. smt that sneak in slowly & quietly until one day u find yourself sleepin away from your partner kinda thing.

what abt me? i wish it wont happen to me.
and i don’t think so lah.
i am full of shit..
okie, too busy to be full of shit recently..

anyway..

second – ‘gold man’
waited for jen at mcd.

noticed a man all decked out in gold – you name it, he got it. 10 rings, bracelets, necklaces..

anyway. that’s not the point.

the point is d way he HIT his son.

ouch !

“SLAP” across the boy’s face and “SLAP” at the boy’s neck

the way he wave his fist in front of the boy.
he look at me and i stare right back at him.
in public lah, and i’m not the only one who’s staring.

man. if you don’t like kids, don’t bring them into the world?
little kids are NOT trash.

btw, the little boy is like 1 year old..

poor thing. 🙁

This is all I need
A gentle wind, a cup of coffee,
and a little bit of conversation
And you

me & my girls
