Still alive
thursday nights are my curse: i slept at 5.30am last night, no i mean this morning, in order to complete my pchem homework. then i woke up at 8.30am to finish my japanese homework before sch started.
But i am refraining from complaining because pchem and japanese are my favorite classes this sem cuz of my superb professor/teacher.
i have alr fallen to the flu virus that has been lingering in the house for at least a month and i know the last thing i should do is to sleep this little, but i really can't help it becuz every piece of homework counts and the median of each homework is always close to 100 marks and i have already screwed up the previous homework so i can't hand in another incomplete problem set again!
but i am still very much artificially awake right now at 1.05am because the effect of caffeine still hasn't worn off since morning time. and, because i am bloated with good food from the fortnightly house dinner!
SATAYS !!!, Carrot cake (both 'black' AND 'white'!), shui jiao, guo tie! and all taste like the authentic ones we eat in singapore! Welcome to the Singaporean House, where only high-quality Singaporean food is served, brought to u by the fabulous Chief Chef Hong.
Coupled with dessert mango pudding, and bonus dessert ice cream brownie cake --combined efforts with my best baking buddy Christina, just for birthday-boy-to-be Shanon Chin :)-- all of us were soooooo full that even yx felt pregnant hahaha.
oh if you think i am the only insane masochistic person, huangyu came home at 2 am plus, yonglin slept at 3am plus, christina slept at 4.30am and joel slept at 6am. Welcome again to the Singaporean House, where muggers reside (but don't really sleep) and 'spoil the curve' (translation: huai4 the wan1. no hints on whose translation this is haha)
My classmate is damn cute: she made me watch the Japanese drama version of Meteor Garden with her when we got damn sian doing the pchem hw yesterday at the comp lab, and now i am sorta hooked to it! and she also lent me takuya kimura's Pride vcds today. omg, wo wan le...
i feel so clean and happy now because after procrastinating for 2 months, i FINALLY washed my winter jackets and scarf and gloves and beanies, and my bedsheet and comforter, and vacuumed my floor today!
my winter clothings finally have to make a come-back after being shelved away and left untouched for almost 5/6 months, because temperatures have plummeted to ard
5 deg celcius in the day and -2 deg celcius at night. Say goodbye to my sandals...
Sheesh, i really can't resist describing the weather in my blog bcuz i really feel it helps to put my current state of living in the right perspective! Really, living in a place like Ithaca where weather is not a constant, it becomes an impt exogenous factor in determining my mood and well-being and plans.
In any case,
Montreal and
Quebec were great!
French cuisine burns a big hole in my pocket but rocks!
And fantastic weather and great travel companions complete the perfect travel package :)
I have gone into deficit this month (consumption>income). i don't dare to think about my wealth after my Europe trip..... :
