A levels results is
PROBABLY (not sure not certain, i have no inside info, don't hold my word to it) going to be out on the 6th of March. That's exactly one week from now >.<
I'm almost prepared to cry..but considering since non-As are within my expectations since long ago, I'm probably not going to be really really broken down. I might even be able to recover within a day. It'd be good if I can get an A for at least econs though. I love the subject. Just doing an essay outline for my sis last night gave me so much joy..lol. I'd probably hate it if I were to do it at uni level though..Not sure. Thinking of backup plans for when I don't get into architecture, but econs may or may not be it.
Installed this personal financial management software last night. Finally I'm pissed enough by my own lack of financial management ability to actually try to do something about it. It may or may not work, but at least I'm trying and I'll try to make it work. Got to, and there are great incentives for me to. Uni life shall be tough if I can't manage my money properly. Not to mention the much awaited Japan trip may slip out of my plans. The added financial liability by the kittens too...starting to impress upon me I really got to manage. At least my income shall increase gradually. So I get a gentle learning slope on financial management. First month I had only my temp job salary, this coming second month I shall have half the tution income (half goes to agency) on top of my monthly salary. Beginning of April I shall then have my full monthly income of Tution + Salary.
It's always good to lack money when you are trying to manage your money better. LOL. Helps you learn prioritising your consumption.
Starting to go on iknow.co.jp regularly now. That's trying to instill more discipline in myself. The lack of discipline in myself has really done me a lot of harm over the years - JC academics wouldn't be so bad if I didn't slack the four years in RG. While I bucked up slightly in J1, it wasn't quite enough to compensate my four years of negligence in studies. By the time it was J2, it was too late. I suppose I might not have done so badly in that I'm probably not the worse among the JC A levels students in Singapore..but..I could have done a lot better. So anyway, bringing the topic back to iknow.co.jp...Might as well start instilling discipline in the learning of something I like, like Japanese. Lack of discipline was what made me drop out of MOELC in sec 1 anyway.
While I have smart friends...geniuses in fact...and thus I keep telling people that I'm dumb...I know I'm not all that bad bah. Shouldn't let myself continue rotting away like that. Hopefully it's not too late, and coming next Friday won't be a black friday for me. Can you imagine if it's not on 6th but on 13th?? =S
EDIT: P.S. I switch between colemak and qwerty at work now that that I'm actually making the switch pretty fast now. So proud of myself. LOL.

I feel like creating a fontset. Which shall be so much work.
But I bet it'd be really really fun.
And practice makes perfect. It'd be easier. I still cannot make new fonts for design projects.
OK. Must get a tablet soon. Seriously.

My sis just got me a puppet for valentines which is sooo kawaii!!!
It kinda dissolves some of my sadness this valentines away. haha. Oh well, I shall move on! =) I'm kinda pleased with the way I've managed myself and my emotions this year though. Maybe I've matured yet a bit more. Heehee.

I just realised...I don't really like green, pink and orange these days anymore. In fact, I kinda detest orange. And pink feels boring. Green is okay...But...It's not that appealing.
Instead, I find myself drawn to shades of blue and grey these days. And gold.
Not just colors too, I find myself changing a lot these days. Not really in terms of observable aspects of personality...but more of the way I think, the way I react emotionally to certain events..not sure if i wanna use the word philosophy in this situation. But I'm changing..so much that it's a bit scary. It feels like another stage of those radical changes, like the one when I got into secondary school, and the one in J1..and maybe the one in sec 3, though that one was a bit less radical.
I bet no one knows what I'm talking about HAHA.
I have a feeling that my ability to feel and experience pain has changed too. I'm no longer affected by pain in the whole life-consuming kinda way. More of a lingering in the background sorta pain. Erm...how do I put it...It's like pain is no longer opaque, but more of a overlay on my emotional life. So I can still experience other emotions, just that they get tainted with this overlaying pain?
Again, I bet no one knows what I'm talking about LOL. And why the hell am I thinking photoshop when I'm talking about my life haha!
Just tried word challenge just now. Quite fun! LOL. Having played prolific so much, my mental dictionary doesn't match the word challenge one though. Luckily there's no dictionary penalty haha!
I totally failed geo challenge though sigh HAHA.

Today's rather fun haha. Went for my first session for this pre-architecture course which nat's cornell interviewer is giving. (though i was terribly late.) today's session was at terminal 3 of the airport. Oh man, so long never been to the airport le. I miss the viewing gallery. Shall go back there soon by myself. But anyway, he's a rather interesting guy, though the lessons are....as queenie put it, more of a he teaches you absorb kind. It's the kinda lesson I haven't had in awhile so I'm not really used to it. I mean 4 years in RG, it's always been rather interactive. RJ too. I mean true, there are some lessons which we found not so interactive, but that's because we took the interactiveness for granted already. If you compare our lessons with say, the neighbourhood primary school...the difference is great. The RJ culture doesn't allow the lessons to have a purely one-way transfer of knowledge anyway. The student always contribute somehow.
Yet the pre-architecture course was a one-way thing. I suppose I should get used to it soon. Haha. Wonders if the NUS architecture is like that.
So anyway, we toured the crown plaza hotel..which was EXTREMELY NICE. I especially love the ballroom's design actually. The moment I stepped in, I loved it. It's the kinda thing I wanna come out with. Though, of course, that would be interior design. I wonder if any architect actually does both the architectural design and the interior design. If it's possible, I really would like to do both. I mean, if Woha does both, such that the two aspects of design complements each other, they probably have a team of both architects and interior designers. So it's highly possible that some of the architects are actually capable of doubling as interior designers no?
Haha, these are just dreams though. I'm still not confident of getting into architecture afterall. The aptitude test and the interviews shall be scary. There are so many better people out there than me. XS
Went to eat dinner and Ben&Jerry with shuyi after lesson (though shuyi had her dinner already). I decided I really really like cheesecake brownie flavour. haha. But each time I eat Ben&Jerry I say the same thing about the flavour I eat each time anyway. =P
Ben & Jerry rocks! <333
ahhhhhhh. can't wait for sat to come. lanning with roger merv aaron and people. lol. and really really shall make time to visit airport soon. LOL. still gotta take up photography too.
AND I NEED TO THINK UP SOMETHING TO MODEL FOR THE PRE-ARCHI COURSE. lol. any ideas people? throw them at me man.

I have work later, but slept too much haha. Shall sleep soon I guess.
Finished reading Fruits Basket finally, after putting it on hold for two years. I still like the characterisation, but reading it again made me realise just how draggy the entire manga is. So much repetition and flashback. But I suppose the pace fits the mood of the story.
So yup I completed the manga.
Reading mushy shoujo manga isn't a very good move though at this time. Sigh. It induces the feeling of yearning. Sigh. I'm a healthy girl with hormones I think haha.
The late night may have contributed too I think. haha.
Shall go sleep! Life for the next two weeks shall be boring with almost the entire world going on field camp. LOL. Life sucks when so many of your friends are guys.
YES. Shall ask sammie and ning out nxt weekend or something =DDD
And plan for sleepover with shuyi!
