fried brain

i've been working so much on excel sheets that my eyes are popping out. and i've been on the phone so much with my prof that my ear drums are bursting too. and a combination of those two for 2 hours each day makes me not want to complete my other work.

but i guess the hard work is worth it at the end of the entire project. like prof always says, "don't you feel proud that you're working for something of national importance?" haha indeed i do. in fact i'm glad i took up the challenge of working with prof sum. these are things you'll never be able to learn in the textbooks, lecture notes, or even the newspapers. most only report the results, never telling you how the results are derived. but when you're the one coming up with the results, it's indeed a challenge but definitely fulfilling task.

there are of cos some opportunities that i didn't take up, i dunno whether i'll regret it in the end, but i guess i have to know my limits also. not like i have a lot of time to spare this sem too. i still want my deans list, though it's a bit impossible lar.

and so, taking the chance that i kinda dun have many stuff to do this weekend, i went to play mahjong with cherry ytd! it was so shiok, really. haven't even have such luxury of time to do anything like that the entire sem. in the end, only one person won, but he won $2.20 only. the rest of us lost $1.20, $0.80, and $0.20. HAHA! that's after THREE rounds btw. i was losing close to $10 after the first round. managed to win for the second and third round though, but well in the end still lost lar. it's the fun that counts!=)

my parents are in penang now btw. have been eating instant noodles for my meals cos i'm quite lazy to cook also. haha. i think my parents are addicted to travelling. they just went to guangzhou, bali, now they're in penang, and soon they'll be going bangkok and taiwan. taking full advantage of cheap airfares huh. it's good lar in a way, time for them to enjoy. would one day want them to go to europe or US, but they'll say, "wait till you all give us the money to do that lor."

i want to travel this holidays too. still in the midst of thinking whether to go KL with mum and bro. but only for a few days lar. i end exams on 3rd dec, and have to come back on 6th so that i can do an internship from 7th onwards (which i also dunno whether i can find). rather short time, but i guess it's always good to go out of s'pore at least for a while.

so envious of all the people on exchange now! next sem, all my freshies will be on exchange and i'll be even more envious! sigh.........
