cleaned!

i've been too busy (and lazy) to do chores like cleaning my room.
but when it comes time to study for the exams...
cleaning the room sounds like sucha good plan
and so does doing the laundry
and going grocery shopping...
maybe i'd even wash my shoes.
Anything! just about anything is better than sitting at my desk staring at powerpoint slides and scribbling notes.
now my room's dustless (almost) and i've got clean clothes... all thanks to procrastination.


my guilty pleasure these days:
watching old episodes of Friends...
in between waiting for new episodes of How i met your mother and Big bang theory.

swish-swash hair

yay!!! all's done!!!
just the exams left now...

stayed up all night thurday night-friday morning to finish up my report...
staying up through the night is all part and parcel of uni life and i wasn't giving that up for my last uni assignment.
and i didn't feel tired at all ytd morning... just felt relieved!
i slept at 3pm hoping to wake up in 2hrs but i ended up waking up at 7.30pm and i don't remember turning off the alarm. it's funny how when you're that tired, you unknowingly turn off the alarm and it's Always the Off button... Never the snooze button! even when every morning i hit the anooze button (many times)... you'd think it's only natural for me to hit snooze even in my sleepy state. i wonder how the body knows.
anyway, i wanted to get back into my sleep cycle so i went to bed at midnight even after a 4hour nap...
and now my body is whining and so is my head.
not sure if it's too much sleep or the lack of it.

that's not all i did ytd though.. sleep...
those who know me well enough will know that i usually cut my hair when i am stressed especially after a major assignment.
well uni has too many of those to be able to cut my hair ever so often (not to mention it's so darn expensive too and the boy will whine about liking my long hair!) but i think i deserve this one!
so that's what i did after handing in my assignment, still without sleep, i went to the city and tried my luck (coz i didn't make a booking) and i managed to get a slot!
so snip snip snip... my long long hair's gone! =D

i think it's probably the longest it's ever been in a very long time.
it was close approaching my waist and now it's just below my shoulders.
that's as far as i could go before the boy starts nagging...
why do boys like girls with long hair anyway? so troublesome!

well ok... it's partly me too. that was as much as i was willing to get rid of.
in fact i kinda missed my long hair already... the length not the dry ends!
i used to be able to go from middle-of-back-length to chin-length and not feel a pinch.
but i do now... a little.
then again... i used to be young and free.
i really think i'm growing old and it's the little things like that that kinda reaffirms it.
i used to go to my trusty hairdresser back home and tell her to cut my hair anyway she likes... whatever she thought would look good on me. even if it's short or if she just wants to try out a new hairstyle. she would tell my mum that i'm still young and can try out all sorts of funky hairstyles... but when i grow older i'll be more conservative with my cuts.
i guess she's right. oh well.

now it's muggin' time...
with my swish swash shoulder-length hair. =p

final swotvac

so this is supposed to be study week... but not for me.
one report is pretty much done.. just got to hand it in.
my research project on the other hand is nowhere near done.
i know a lot and i know how i want the report to be like...
but it just seems to keep getting harder to churn out words and paras.
i think it's the pressure i'm giving myself...
i want it to be perfect!

i really hope for the strength to get through this report without half giving up towards the end. sigh... back to squeezing my brains for words.

final week

the final week of uni has just past...
but nope i'm not quite done yet.
still got 2 more reports + the exams.

i'm almost there...
and i don't know if i should be happy or not.
i'm glad to be almost done with studying but i really enjoy my course and i want to learn more!
everything is just getting exciting as i learn new things...
and when i say new things... i really mean new in a way that nobody else has learnt about it before!
unfortunately, the chapter is coming to a close...
but a new one awaits... one that i hope will put everything i have learnt to good use.
can't wait to bring all the exciting new things to the world out there! woohoo! =D

3rd last week

if there is one thing that really irks me and get on my nerves...
it's horrible presentation skills!
it really annoys me to see wordy powerpoint slides!!!

i don't mind editing it...
in fact, i've this innate need to do so.
i love perfecting slides!

but why whyy whyyyy is it that people refuse to let me do it!
and instead insist that the wordy, untidy, inconsistent-with-the-rest-of-the-ppt slides are the way to go!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was so close to screaming there and then!
i could feel myself bursting into flames inside.
never before did i realise how an*l i am about presentation skills.
i knew i was very particular about it but this... this brings it to whole new level altogether.

i will never ever ever let myself be associated with such horrible presentation slides.
it will not see the faces of the class! i will not let it!
