I had a visit from a little birdie last night.

I had just carried my laptop into the bedroom so I could lay down and play abit before I sleep when I noticed a yellow bird perched on the side of my bed.

Cue scream.
"为什么有一只鸟在我的床！？”
I swung around and glared accusingly at my sister, thinking it was her idea of a practical joke, because it seriously looked like a fake bird (it was motionless despite all the commotion).

Anyway it turned out to be a real bird :/ My papa tried to catch it but it flew away and hid behind my sister's shelf of books. More jostling and shifting of books before we found the yellow birdie. According to my papa, it was a songbird or something like that (I'm supposed to think that the 'chip chip chip' is a tune??)? Apparently it could fetch good money (roll eyes, but what do i know about birds?) but well, being the nice people that we are, we freed it. Smirk.



On an entirely different note, I noticed something today：the two angmoh exchange students in my class carrying the NTU sling bags. Which led me to wonder why. Don't they have their own bags? Bags that are trendier? And they are girls leh. I thought girls are supposed to be fashion-conscious or something? Or perhaps as mel had pointed out, they didn't really care cos no one knew them here? But then again, the other exchange students (jap and taiwanese) weren't carrying them. Hur.

So would you carry it? Even though it doesn't exactly make a fashion statement (blue and black with ntu stenciled at the corner of the flap of the bag. Yea right.).

Actually I probably won't mind. Now I suddenly feel that our uni is more generous. The HK uni i went to for exchange didn't even offer me as much as a free pen. The only memento I brought back (the sch's PE tee) was purchased with my own money :/ Snort.

Bah, whatever. I'm gonna go rest. Hopefully there won't be another birdie waiting for me on my bed.

I'm so sick of hearing CNY songs in shops. Shouldn't there be a rule like you can only start playing CNY songs a week before it starts? You know, like what we do for national day, where we can only start hanging flags in the month of August? 'Cos seriously, I don't think I can stomach another "dong dong dong chiang" =_=;

I'm not looking forward to CNY. 'Tis the season to sit in front of the TV and gorge yourself with food. Sounds like a good deal, no? Except you've to sit there for hours watching shows that don't really appeal to you in homes that you can't roam freely about. Plus you've to sit around waiting for the adults (you know, ADULT adults, cos i'm aware i'm an adult legally too) to finish whatever they are doing (mahjong, chatting, whatever floats their boat) while you're stuck with making small talk with relatives whom you see once a year and are MIA for the rest. Yawns.
**For relatives who are reading, that's not personal so please don't take offence. Snigger.

It's not as if it's a long holiday anyway. Not to mention i've lotsa things to complete before CNY. Projects? Research? Presentation? OOH buying new clothes! See, another task to conquer. Buying new clothes that are SUITABLE for the occasion? Grrr. AND WHAT?!? Spring cleaning?? NOOO DON'T REMIND ME OF SPRING CLEANING!! NOOOOONOOOO.

Now tell me why I should be looking forward to CNY :/

Lol. So I got complained for taking too long to update my blog (ne, you know who you are. snigger).

Nope, I wasn't taking a break from it. Let's just say I kinda forgot I've a blog. HAHAHA. Aiya, my life has been too boring lately. School, projects, SL (I got ridiculed by PL for including a bookmark on my navigation toolbar but it's true that I visit that site very often wad! I need to bank in my money before people steal them away. meh) and making new friends.

Yea, I've been trying to be more sociable lately. It doesn't help that there are a lot of unfamiliar faces in my classes. Speaking of classes, have you heard me complain about the school cancelling one of the modules I'd added during the holidays? Yes?? Sorry you've to listen again cos i suddenly have an urge to grumble.

Anyway, the school cancelled one of the broadcast modules and when I emailed the person-in-charge to ask her NICELY why and consequently spent the next paragraph explaining my sob story to her, she replied 2 days later with a "class was cancelled due to low enrolment". wtf. This wasn't the first time they did such a thing to me. Seriously. Cancel my class? Fineee. At least make me feel better by saying you apologise for the inconvenience, then offer some assistance to help me get other modules. Like that I'd feel more shuang, no?? What's with the cold approach? Next time they send me some "graduation gift" email asking me to donate money to the school, I should probably reply with a "haven't work, no money, how to donate?" isit? Some people should learn to take lessons in writing emails. It doesn't have to get so impersonal you come off as unfeeling. But whatever. The thing now is that I was forced to take another module which is reallyyyyy realllyyyyy Boring (with a capital B). The class only has 7 people (including me). Is it pathetic or what? Sighs.

Boo. Oh yah and I've quite a lot of exchange students in my classes. While attempting to be Ms Friendly, I've been working towards becoming a Ms Not-So-Invisible-In-Class also. I mean it's not like I've a choice. The classes I'm taking are all so small. It's a good thing my name doesn't really stick in the profs' minds, unike PL's. Snigger. She's been harrassed (in a good way! ahem :D) by the profs cos her name's easy to remember. nyaahhaha.

okok i shall stop. I hope I won't take another 2 months before I next update. I do have a lot of stories to share one, like that time on the train..... Oh well, forget it. I'll just admit I'm lazy. It's faster. Snigger

=___=;

Some girl on SL wrote me in the "burn" list and then left this message for me:
"You took advantage. You got a lot of money off me. I just got out of the ICU. I nearly died. Did you not think there was a reason you were getting so much money. This is supposed to be a game. I am ashamed of you . Enjoy all that play money".

Errm. She said it's a game. But she's getting all worked up. How was I supposed to know she had all that money cos she was in ICU and had to be away for an extended period of time? =__= I spent money to recuperate in the spa so i had to attack people who can help me recoup my losses wad. Is that logic wrong? :/ Grah. Even virtual SL is like the real SL. Girls are all so bitchy. I get attacked by the same girl for like umpteen times and I didn't even leave a threatening message for her. Why? Because it is just a game, no?:/ I don't even know if i'm supposed to reply to that. kb

*edit: anyway, i apologised to her. Not that i'm humji, but i did feel bad for her. She seems to care alot about it? Hur i guess the lesson learned is only attack girls who give u lousy money.

Mew my paper tml will supposedly include a question on our favourite former ms sg world so i'm doing some last minute research on her (if u can call watching and laughing at videos, research..yea anything to avoid notes and textbooks :/). I find her q&a session particularly..erm..impressive. Really don't understand why people would put themselves out there to be ridiculed (I mean even if you did well you never know what people who are watching in the security of their homes are saying about you). Is the fame really worth it? :/ I'd rather not give people the chance to make me the butt of their jokes. bleah

Desy walked into Tuesday's lecture snickering, so i asked her why she looked so excited. Apparently, she witnessed these 2 huge lizards (not our usual house guests but maybe sth like chameleon or monitor lizard??) mating right in front of the door on the passageway. Then she enthusiastically shared another story about how she witnessed 2 flies mating on the windscreen of her mom's car sometime ago. So cool right? I never get to see such things :/ Anyway while we were on the topic, i told her the video i watched which was on mating turtles. I promised to post the video xiaomeng and I love so much so here you go! C'mon c'mon let's share the love! Btw it's meant to be educational (ahem), so i refuse to adopt mel's usage of 'animal porn'. She's the dirty one, not moi :D

Meh! Class is boring :< Oh well this class has always been boring, but today's definitely redundant. He's actually teaching material that's not prepared for this class lor. I'm sick of staring at my computer screen and nodding absently at whatever he's droning on about.

Hur at least there's sorority life to keep me busy.


HAHAHA. No actually I wanna cry. I'm so sad i've so few friends on it lor. For those who don't know what the crap i'm talking about, I'm referring to the fb game that i've been obsessing over for the past 2 weeks. Basically the aim of the game is to advance levels, earn money, attack other girls, socialise and buy clothes. Snigger. Sounds bimbo? Lol yea, maybe even a little boliao, but it's so addictive. I love getting new costumes. Oh not to mention I won 3 yachts and one chartered plane through the lottery. If only this is real life. Bleah.

Anw, my point is to avoid being an easy target for other bitchy sorority girls (i'm not gonna say if i'm one of those cos it's the survival of the fittest out there), i had to increase my house strength, which means i gotta GET MORE SORORITY SISTERS!!!! So far I've psycho-ed xiaomeng, desy, shiya and jings to create accounts (of whom only shiya's making an effort to play the game) and forced mel to accept my friend request even though she's stopped playing it. I've gone so far as to beg my male classmate to become my sister, only to be scoffed by him for questioning his manliness. Chey :/

SO PEOPLE, if you're reading this, it means you CARE about me and would go create an account at sorority life and ACCEPT MY FRIEND REQUEST! BE MY SISTERRRRRRR! :DDDD
