Week 19: CNY!!!

After a series of late posts, I guess it's time for an early post and also to avoid something spoiling the good mood I am in now.

I just came back from Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with 2 really awesome people. Everything was basically organised yesterday and it turned out really good. What I learnt today is that the most important thing during special days is the people.

Just a few days ago, I thought that I would be spending Chinese New Year's Eve alone and trust me, I wasn't too happy about it. But then, if people don't want to spend time with me, who am I to impose myself on them? So I managed to get together with a couple of friends who I haven't seen and talked to in a while. The end result was a great night with good food and better company (also special thanks to lychee juice which replaced the longan dessert).

Every day is what you make it to be. Today was great. Better than I ever thought it would be. A night without alcohol and partying. Just food and people. Mainly the people.

Happy Chinese New Year everybody! No matter how great or badly you've treated me, I wish you a good year ahead of you. Chinese New Year just isn't the same here as back home but with the right company, you can make it feel just like home.

Cheers,
YiJiun

Week 18: Meh...

I keep forgetting to update my blog on time. I really should put it on my calendar.

Anyway, last week was an uneventful week. I passed up my 2 essays and went to a club on Friday. Went to a gig at Kasbah on Saturday. Watched The Blackout who were quite good. The opening acts were decent too.

Very uninteresting week in my opinion. Still no idea what to do for Chu Xi. Hmmm....

Week 17: OH DAMN

So......

Things didn't go exactly as planned for the past week. You know how I was supposed to finish my essays by Friday? Yeah. That didn't happen. I only ended up starting the essay on Friday and finishing + finalising both essays on Sunday. I didn't go to Skool Dayz and ended up wasting my ticket because I was too indecisive, so I didn't have time to sell off my ticket. Oh well, there's still the next one.

Anyway, very uneventful week full of procrastination. Although, I did manage to squeeze in time to watch Monsters University with my flatmates (procrastination!!!). But I am now very free with the next deadline coming in February. So, it's slowing down a bit.

Two performances on the same day coming up for One World Week. One with Dikir and one with Glee. Hope both go well. Battle of the Bands start next week and still haven't attended band practice due to essays. The draw for the preliminaries is on the coming Wednesday and I really hope that we're drawn to perform in the later weeks, preferably the last one so we have time to sort out the originals.

Hopefully my next post will be on time. I only forgot to update because I was so preoccupied by my essays. Here's to less busy days.

Cheers,
YiJiun

Week 16: Hello

So, lectures have started again. Seminars start tomorrow and I still haven't done any work. I did manage to finish one essay which is good. Now, I just have one more to go.

This week was pretty uneventful other than my first visit to Kasbah. I was busy trying to finish off the UOB essay which I basically finished. Need to work on the intro and conclusion though. But Kasbah was nice. Crazy stuff went down in there. Haha. I danced with at least 6 strangers and I think 2 of them had me in a headlock. I like the alternative bar better than the main dance floor but there were so few people there that I went back to the main dance floor. Quite a few of my flatmates got drunk and they acted real funny when we got back. I was pretty much sober (only had a cider and a Jaegerbomb), although I act a bit drunk when I don't have enough sleep.

I'm going to work hard the following week so I can enjoy myself during Skool Dayz. Yay!

Week 15: Oops

Totally forgot to update my blog. I'm so busy trying to finish up 2 essays (currently only partway through one :s).

Anyway, it's a new year and it's been good so far. All my flatmates have come back, I think. Haha. But anyway, it's not so dead here now and I have people to talk to. Classes start today. Will be getting busy again with all the clubs and the 2 essays and lectures and seminars and work.

Basically last week was quite uneventful. I didn't do anything for New Year's Eve but I did make my own Char Siew which turned out better than expected.

A really short post. Till next time. :)
