dear friends wun be online until RJ comes and save my com. too frustrated as i seek many remedies for it. haha.. so well meanwhile dun miss me. good. one less distraction for exams.
sunday.had dinner at 5th aunt's, with mama, chun, 4th aunt and grand mama. lala... 5th uncle always never fails to impress us with his culinary skills haha... long time never ate dinner at their place. nice feeling. watched "Delamu" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang at the Singapore Film Fest with sherlene b4 tat. well more like a documentary of the people living in a remote area Yunan near the borders of Tibet. very very slow pace cos they used the real time technique. sorry jus din have the energy and jing shen to sustain myself. zzz at a few junctures of the film. but yes fanastic scenary. they had interviews with the locals. all very diverse and different and hold different view points about life. some very practical (this guy who shares a wife with his elder brother), simplistic (this 104 year old ah ma), sad (this father and his son when his wife ran away) and some trying to escape from her life (this girl who yearns for city life). a very nice mix of people. i think the film started out very hopeful. trying to tell ppl the coming development for this region but it ended a bit on a sad note. maybe jus my feeling. but got this gan jue that they are all trapped there loh. and also the usual notion that development may not be so good after all. hai.. maybe it's too chim or perhaps we are just reading too much into a simple documentary. b4 tat had lunch with sherlene at swensen's, had a long talk with her. haha.. i always miss our long talks, about life about everything. haha.. somehow i think she's more noble than me. really admire her attitude towards volunteerism. haha.. which i can never really can do i think. it's tiring emotionally. anyway shopped ard a little after tat. hee. bought a U.R.S slippers. quite happy. and comfy and furry. heee...
sat. went to sch for last lesson. and yes it jus had to be ABNN's lesson. (haha.. oh no.. will i get caught? for my r****t comments. haha nah.. i'm a not a scholar.) had the quiz 10%. i dun think i'll score well but wat the heck. jus finished the 25% assignment the previous night. and yes actually he gave us 60 hours instead of 48. hai.. din wan to give up cos i jus bu fu shu that he can give so maths problems for services marketing and get away with it. he really jus wanna teach wat he wans and gives questions about his fav 2 topics. assignment and quiz same topic. can't believe it. anyway yeah so had supper with sophy and em instead cos i missed our dinner date. hai.. my first assignment i'm so pia to finish on time. like i know i can do better so mus JIA YOU. perhaps also to prove smth to ABNN lah. haha... well sophy reached my place ard 11.55pm. haha.. she's jus so sweet. then we went to pick em up after i bathe. yes was smelly from 5pm plus to 12am. then passed by sch and jus thought of meiyu. haha.. and picked her up too to have supper with us. so sporting of her to come down like having 5 mins of notice. thought yee-ky went home so din call her. met her on sat surprisingly. anyway picked em up then we went to lau pa sat to have satay and desert. we din eat much but well we all listen to sophy talk about his woes at the workplace. haha.. got this feeling emily also not very happy as a teacher but well 3 more years to go to fulfil her bond so i shan't say anything. think she shld be a research student. maybe she'll be happier. oh man work life is such sad life. anyway my dear sophy getting stronger lah in a sense. i know she will come back and be stronger emotionally and better to handle all her cases.
thurs. trained with ash, loom, zhuzhu. swimming. somehow i was really excited to swim again haha... like nearly 2months since i last swim. i was lousy but had a good workout with coach sheryl timing us. had to swim like i never swam b4. fine lah. cos loom and i were jus joking ard. din feel the fatigue while in the pool. haha... then binged at munchie with zhu and ck then ash came to finish up our banana split. haha.. CB class had a good closure. my presentation went well amazingly. i wasn't really nervous. and hope it was interesting enough. film lecture was alright a bit long though. haha.. the 2 short films tat 2 groups did a bit ??? but well appreciate their effort lah. tribute to wong kar wai and the other one abt gaze. orientalism also interesting concept.
wed. collected my photos. some that i developed from my digital collection. some from phi phi, HK, China etc etc. haha.. and of cos many sophy-skee pictures. hai.. nostalgia sia. nice pics that i can't tear my eyes away from them. chapalang pics too and also sentosa flowers pics i developed for grand mama to see. lala.. my shots of the flowers were jus too fantastic. haha.. ooppss ego trip. nice lah. haha.. to have photos to look at once in a while.
