Not a normal Monday
Weekends are always great! Especially for me now when I get 3 days instead of 2 for a weekend. But well that isn't going to last because I think I have a five-day timetable for next semester.. who knows?
Today woke up feeling okie, like usual, Monday always means a welcome into a brand new week, a brand new start. Well at least that is how I persuade myself. Sadly though, that is not reality. What has gone will continue to stay and stir ur future.
Feeling rather emo... it's normal. Nothing does it better than a BAD SCORE. Failed my first BABS (Molecules, Cells and Genes) test... super duper damn disappointed. Failed my psychology before and now I failed BABS... sometimes I just can't help but think how 失败 can I get? Why can all my friends score and excel with flying colours...
Had the second BABS test today... I reckon if I have known my score last week, I would have put in more effort to study for today's test... but at least now I will definitely put in more and more effort in my studies and stop giving myself tonnes of excuses.
But I just can't seem to bring myself to concentrate...
Well emotions aside.. let's see what I did today... Bus-ed to school for CHEM lecture.. glad that lecture notes are well printed for us so it means so don't really need to worry about printing notes... Sat with William and Tony and then William headed home during his one hour break... Lucky he stayed so close to school and so he can just go home as and when he likes.. Revised BABS with Tony during the one hour break... Joined by QiYing (who happened to know one of my primary school friends) and William came back and Alice.. Before we went in L just came out from his experimetrix...
During Psychology lecture I was trying to study for BABS but it was about OPP attraction and was quite interesting so most of the time I was actually listening to the lecture.. Went for the BABS test.. the questions seem okie.. but like I said, I thot the first test was answered okie too, but too bad I still failed... I am a failure in myself so what can I do about it?
I should starting working hard rite? Where is my motivation? Where is my motivation?
Someone return me my MOTIVATION!!!
To all who are reading my blog may ur life be motivated and forever be blessed with opportunities and hope.
GOOD NIGHT!

A BRAND NEW MONTH
Time seriously flies...
I know I haven't updated for nearly a week and a half... Many times I feel like updating but am just too lazy or exhausted...
Yesterday morning I went to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to apply for a CHANGE OF NAME certificate... lol.. of course I am not changing my name... it is just that SABRINA didn't appear in my passport (thought it was added by handwriting) and so my other identifications all stated that I can only be known as TXN... Having Xuan as my first name sounds really weird too... and plus if I'm making the Australian passport I'll need the certificate before all my IDs (some with Sabrina and some without) can be all uniformly the same and all say that I am called SABRINA XN, Tang... hahaha and still I had to pay $136... The appointment was initially at 10.40am but I ended up leaving my house at 10.30am and reaching there like half an hour past the appointment time... but luckily 'cos it was a Friday, not many people were there and I didn't have to wait that long...
I arranged to meet Jia Yun but she said she had stuff to do so I went shopping while waiting for her... I bought like two winter hats for $50... this autumn is extremely cold and I'm sure it might just be truly freezing in winter... haix.. what to do? Global Warming... I then headed to the DVD shop and got two HK shows for $20... That's the only thing I like about buying dramas in Australia.. you can obtain HK shows at much much cheaper prices... LOL... Met Jia Yun finally and went to have Oportos for lunch (thought it was the fastest since it is fast food) before we walked to the CENTRAL train station together.
She was nice and train-ed with me to Lidcombe (half an hour ride) and went with me to USYD to conduct an interview for my SCIF assignment... It felt really comfortable because I was there two years ago for a two day replacement and many things felt so familiar. The bus drivers there are so much more friendly too!
Then we train-ed back to CENTRAL where she met her bf and so abandon me... and I was left alone... I could have gone home but didn't feel like heading home that early... Went to get a $3 SUPER SLURPEE which I finished it at home because it was just too large and bought Hainanese Chicken Rice... the quality wasn't good so I have half a packet left for today...
I finished one DVD of "Off Pedder" - 20 Eps in about 7 hours plus I think... guess I was having a headache and didn't feel like doing anything else...
Thursday was pretty much like usual except at night there was this PASAR MALAM thing and I went with a couple of Singapore and Malaysian friends... The atmosphere was quite right with the right food though the quality wasn't as fantastic... My favourite highlight of the night was banana fritters... It came with ice-cream, chocolate sauce and peanuts... It felt as if I was back in Singapore except the weather was cold... Really cold.. Wanted to catch a bus home initally but I missed the one before by 10 mins and had to wait another 45 minutes so I decided to walk home..
Maybe it was too cold, maybe I was quite scared.. I could feel my legs walking faster than my body... I reached home in no more than 30 minutes... A great achievement YEAH!
The rest of last week of mostly assignments and tests... CHEM test on THURS was like "I would be really happy if I passed"... I failed my PSYC test very badly... that's why I am really worried...
Okie, I think I should pack up my room a little so I have the motivation to study and I should since I have a BABS (Molecules, Cells and GEnes) test on MOnday...
To all who are still around reading my blog and remembering to TAG, THANK YOU...
It really means a lot.
So here, I like to wish everyone was is reading my blog right now a great month ahead and that MAY would be one adventurous and eventful 31 days!

a TUES UNI day...
Today was a rather typical Uni day (or rather not)...
Well last night (or this morning) I slept at near 3am. Had like 4 hours of sleep (basically it just isn't enough for me)... was up late workin on my PSYC assignment due today... had to force myself to work and luckily for me... the song in my blog kept me calm (even now...) and I was able to work without much other distractions...
Went off to school in my mum's car (too tired for a 45 mins walk to Uni)... she dropped me off at the lower campus so still I had to walk quite a bit to upper campus...
First lecture today was SCIF(perspectives in medical science) and as usual the 2 hours lecture was torturing... Well usually I would just switch off and on during class, but today we had a guest speaker so that means we couldn't exactly just switch off because he didn't wanna upload the notes on our website... the plus point for that lecture was that he ended earlier so that means we didn't have to rush to our next lecture...
BABS (Molecules, Cells and Genes) isn't usually boring... but today I sort of dozed off... Thought I was in another class for a second LOL.
PSYC (Psychology) tutorial was okie... most of it was the test which I think it would have been okie should I have studied more.
That should've ended off my short Tuesday like usual but I stayed in school for another 2 plus hours... Met Alice and Deirdre after class, well apparently they already had lunch. I was eating by myself... felt quite weird and plus my lunch wasn't that fantastic. But it all got better when L (a guy friend) walked past the building we were in and surprisingly said HI when I didn't think usually he would. We haven't really talked since we were back in school (which was just ytd) though we were in most of our classes. He cut his hair and funny I have to say. First reaction was to laugh. I know it is bad just couldn't help it. Actually we were chatting online at ard 1am 'cos I wanted to ask him how to do the PSYC assignment... lol he said he didn't sleep the whole night... as usual...
Well back to the bit where we waved and he didn't actually say HI... he just walked in and his opening line was "GOOD MORNING"... haha it was 1.30pm already I think... Well anyway he came in to promote to buy waffles for the cancer foundation... they were like $1 each and I figured out that my lunch wasn't so nice, so might as well... Gave him the money and asked if he could buy it for me and he went to Q for me... (sounds sweet but probably wasn't.. he wanted me to buy it so ... ^_^)
He came back with the waffle... it was a small penguin waffle... filled with nutella (my choice over golden syrup). The waffle isn't all that nice but since he had to buy it for me.. i guess it just made the waffle tasted a little nicer. He rushed off for BABS lab after and I walked to the chemistry computer lab to complete my weekly computer assignment.
It was about ions being diamagnetic/paramagnetic... First trial I got 4 (missed by 1 mark to the full marks)... My SCIF tut classmates Rahul and Stephen happened to be around so we discussed the answers with each other and finally the three of us all got 5. Growing up in an all girls' school for the past 12 years of my education life made interacting with guys rather weird (or challenging maybe)... But today it didn't feel as bad... I guess in a way we are all humans... we will all find a way to interact with each other eventually.
The day was pleasantly cold with showers in between... and it drizzled when I was about to head home... so I caught the bus. Usually the bus would take like half an hour wait but it ended up being only 10mins... Even though I had to walk home a little since the bus stopped 2 stops before mine... I was lazy to take out my umbrella so was semi walking in the rain...
Maybe that is what caused my headache that I am having now. It is now 11.59pm and I should probably be in bed since I only caught an hour nap this arvo...
Hope tomorrow will bring more joy and surprises!
May all who are readin my blog right now have a pleasant and happy day tomorrow!
CYA folks! Thanks for reading.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIFANG!
HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST LIFANG...
People my batch are slowly turning 19 one by one... It seemed like my 18th birthday party was just yesterday but in fact I am already 18 years and 5 months old. Apparently time really flies... Birthdays are indeed not just about presents, cakes, candles and balloons... they are about sharing it with people who remembers your birthday because usually they are the people who care. I bet many people will rmb my birthday wrongly due to the date of my birthday party last year... lol... let's see!
Anyway today we went back to Uni after a one week break, where I guiltfully (is there such a word) did NOTHING... I do regret, but regrets are not going to bring back time. I have my PSYC assignment due tomorrow and I still haven't started and I still have to study for my PSYC tests tomorrow... ARGH hopefully it will all be good.
The weather is starting to turn cold and rain is coming to visit more regularly. This reminds me of a person. (WF: I think u know who I'm talking about) This is the perfect weather for sleeping, a weather where u just wanna slip into your covers and have a good sleep and wish nothing else in the world matters.
The week started off as usual with CHEM lecture and obviously I usually detests that... I walked in with an attitude to learn, and I indeed learn quite a bit. I think I paid attention because I would like to save my effort for studying for it. Had my SUSHI ROLLS for lunch as I dreamed off last week and they tasted great. Went to PSYC lecture and I was trying hard to keep awake. BABS labs was long but fun. Handed in my assignment that I did at around 1 plus am this morning and it took me like an hour plus to complete. We got to use Congo Red which potentially stains your skin red if in contact. I think it is the props that dramas use... lol. We used SHEEP BLOOD today as well... Vivian, Sarah and I worked very well together and got through most of it...
Sarah kept saying for the three hours that she was very hungry so we headed for snack after the lab before Vivian went home and I discussed with Sarah what we were to do for our BABS project when we have 2 other rather irresponsible guys on our team. Hopefully our marks wouldn't be dragged down. My mum came to pick me up since she said that she was around the corner and saved me from walking 45 minutes home in the rain... At least I got home dry...
I am going to work on my assignment and study for my test now.
For all who are reading my blog right now, may your night be pleasantly sweet and smooth(like I hope might will be).

FOOD - I DESIRE...
It is now 11.13am... what am I suppose to be doing???
I set my alarm to wake me at 8.30 and still I can oversleep by 2 hours...
Okie, I admit, I am a bit (or more than just a bit?) of a lazy pig...
I didn't get any work done ytd and I am going to do it today... Tonnes of lecture notes to tidy and apparently we have tests next week so I can get to spend the rest of my break MUGGING... Yeah how exciting -_-"'
I've been eating BBQ pork bun for 3 mornings in a row now... those frozen buns aren't as good as those fresh ones of course, but what to do when u seem to live in an isolated "industrial", well at least originally area and u can hardly find food...
I'm craving for SUSHI ROLLS for some weird reasons and I've to shockingly say... I am looking forward to next MOnday when I return to Uni... because that means I can get SuSHI RoLLs for lunch... yeah.. okie... I'm greedy but maybe this greediness will make me work better and get everything done (or at least try) BECAUSE I wanna go back to Uni for... *hehe* SUSHI ROLLS...
Am going to finish the remaining one mouth of my bun... and what am I going to do?
I'll let you know.
May everyone who is reading my blog right now have a nice day ahead!

Back from Karaoke
Back from the karaoke session...
We met at 1pm (well supposedly) but JiaYun came just to tell me that she can't join us for the karaoke... I feel really bad towards her because she thinks I dun care about her...but the phone bill here is so expensive... how can I call her? (Is that more of an excuse?)
Then Alice finally arrived (or rather found her way to the karaoke) and we went to Oportos to get lunch. Pamela brought her friend, Lucy, and arrived shortly after. While Alice and I were having lunch, Deirdre came from her group work... she was quite well dressed, or rather all of us were quite well dressed, except me. Apparently I look like an OL. xLOLx.
Then we went to sing karaoke at Big Echo. Cost us $10 each and took us like 10 minutes to settle the money issue because it seems like money was LOST in the midst of paying for the bill.
We headed into the room and starting singing... or rather started cam-whoring.
(The photos are uploaded in my blog, one of the 5 squares and u'll find it.)
We took turns to sing, but of course Pam sang the most because she sang beautifully. Meanwhile the rest of us just chatted around, or cont'd taking photos. The 3 hours session ended rather quickly and we were in the midst of our last song, 童话 (a rather touching MV) when it was cut off suddenly and we were chased off the room. Alice went home first because she had assignments to do... actually I should be the one heading home first but well... time wif friends are irreplaceable.
We walked to another karaoke place where Pam's boyfriend, Ken was. We ended up wif Joseph and Mish and they decided to head for dinner together. I decided to walk off with Deirdre and we went to get birthday cards because... do I have to state the reason? hahaha.
We went back to join them like 15 minutes later (well Deirdre said I took a long time) and they still haven't decided where to eat. We finally settled to eat at a Jap place and I ordered Terriyaki Chicken Set... Hearing the waiter/waitresses speak Jap felt rather good because Deirdre and I found it familiar.
Deirdre went off shortly after to meet her sis and aunt for dinner. Joseph and Mish wasn't talking so it felt rather awkward. (oh btw. J & M are g/bf)
We ended dinner with a bill of $55.60 and I have no idea why I had to pay an extra 10c... seems like everyone paid extra (probably due to Ken... he was on the phone when we settled the bill).
I then walked Lucy back to her train station and walked to my bus-stop to catch the bus. I am suppose to go shower and feeling rather tired (though it is only 8.33pm), I really feel like going to sleep... but I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE TO START WORKING ON THE "TO-DO" LIST THAT I LISTED ON THE FIRST DAY OF MY BREAK AND STILL NONE OF IT HAS BEEN DONE.
WISH ME GOOD LUCK.
GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE WHO IS READING MY BLOG... All LOVE Sent to those who care abt me!~!~!~

ONCE AGAIN
Well well, this is like the dunnoe how many blogs I've had already...
I guess that is just me.
Someone who doesn't seem to be able to persevere for long...
I often blog for a while and then just stop... then suddenly I get this urge of blogging again...
Like seriously, I really admire those who can basically just update everyday even if there is nothing to update, they can still have some inspiring thoughts around...
Why did I decide to start afresh today? no idea.
I had a 10 days break from 10th Apr (Good Friday) and now half my break is gone... and disappointly, I have done nothing.
I am sure everyone has those moments when they just feel like doing nothing... but hey, I am a Uni student... aren't I suppose to be more independent and have more self-discipline and get done what is meant to be done.
Next week I'm returning to being a Uni student for my 6th week... I mean, ignoring the work bit, Uni is pretty free... 'cos no one tells u what u have to do for homework, which is why I have so much work piled up. I should probably go get some work done before I head out to meet my friends. We're having a girls' day out today... I mean there are people who are just so sticky around their boyfriends that they want them to be around wherever they are...
But they have to understand that some of us just can't really stand the sight of her bf (okie, rather extreme but yeah if u ever meet him, then u'll understand).
I better go tidy my lecture notes. brb. (hopefully)
