i'll be busy for the next 3 weeks or so. it's my crunch time for this semester so ideally i won't be publishing any posts here. note: ideally. i guess blogging doesn't take very much time if it's just a simple post. so like now, here i am, strangely enough. have more or less edited a grp report due this thursday and it's those in between times where i decide to move on to my next assignment or should i decide to go to bed.
it's gonna be so hectic i'm so scared yet i think because time won't wait for me, i gotta keep moving as well. ultimately, even if i am not prepared for my quizzes or if i am not done with my report, i still have to sit for my exam and i still have to submit something (either of poorer quality or late). so much for alternatives. hehe
anyway Eusoff's Dinner and Dance was last friday. it was a blast. almost all the table were dressed up and for once i had no organising reponsibility for that night itself. all i had to do was to sit back and relax. photos will be out on my flickr soon, pending my collection from other peeps and the spare time i have to have them uploaded. anyway,
my schedule for the next few weeks:
30 March - 1 group submission
1 April - 1 major quiz
2 April - 2 group submissions
3 April - 2 presentations + 1 group assignment
4 April - 1 group submission
6 April - 1 presentation
7 April - 1 presentation
10 April - 1 major quiz
11 April - 1 major quiz
17 April - 1 individual submission
20 April - 1 major quiz
22 April - 1 individual submissioni'm not trying to gain sympathy. rather, i hope my loved ones will cheer me up once in a while to keep my 3 insane weeks sane! hehe

i enjoy spending a day at home. sleep earlier, wake up earlier and spending time with daddy who is mostly at home :)
i had lunch with daddy today. the simplicity of walking out to the busstop. waiting for and then taking the bus to the nearby food place. the meepok from the stall and the walking ard shop&save for the aircon! haha.. well, we ended up buying a few things like chocs and redbeanbuns for tea. while dad went to buy some numbers, i went to the postoffice to take a look. it started to drizzle then but the rain did cool the warm day. it's been humid and warm in sg lately. we then took a bus back home, walking back in a v slight drizzle.
it's these little moments that i enjoy. the laid back, 'not rushed', relaxing and 'worry not' company. i love my daddy! he always makes me feel at ease.

i've been eating a lot. maybe it's normal on days when i've trainings and dance practices. but since all that has ended, i think i've been overeating a lil. haha. well i can't stop my lil tummy from feeling hungry. and i guess before i know it, and perhaps even now, i am getting rounder :(
everyone ard me seems to be busy working out. my friends (not all of course) go jogging every night, or at least almost every night. but me? i think i jog at least once a forthnight.. haha how.. how to keep my metabolism up! i just borrowed a skipping rope to perhaps do some skipping but errr maybe not cos it's really rather late already.
okay. a friend just came in to disrupt my train of blogging thoughts. it's been a while since i spoke to him but yeah it was a nice pop by. i wonder if i spoke too much. i guess we're pretty much good friends who talk occasionally. in fact, it's like only when he happens to pop by. i wonder if such friendships can be kept alive and how will it be kept alive. maybe with time, such friendships fade away.
anyways, the dilemma once again - the chase for a coveted internship this summer or the chase for a totally relaxing holiday. i have to decide/know SOON. if the former is the choice, i shan't sign up for trips and i will continue my search for one. if the latter is the choice, i can stop all my internship applications and confirm my trips. the problem - indecisive paranoid lorrie who can't decide on what she wants.

i'm staying in hall this weekend. want to do some schoolwork and the journey back home with the laptop, laptop battery charger and mouse is too troublesome. but even before i get started on my work, i'm taking it quite easy. definitely not a good thing but hopefully not a bad thing either because as mentioned a few posts ago, when guilty, lorrie does more work. haha.
went to MOS on thursday night with a bunch of friends. many of my other friends didn't want to go because they said that didn't like the MOS crowd but it was a fun night out (for me at least :)) it's been a while since i clubbed. the past few times i was at a club, i stayed there for say about 1hr without drinking or grooving as i was there to support my hall's event. thursday was good, thanks to the good company.
and then friday i cleaned tping's smelly tank! i am a lousy pet owner but i promise to brush up! it's times when ure so stressed and busy with work that something has to forgo and poor tping bears the brunt of it. i mean i feed him well. all the time. i just feel that i neglect him when it comes to playing with him. i don't blame him for looking sad at times. i'm glad siding still plays with him now and then. anyway tping was a happy hamster yesterday. with the new tank with lots of sawdust, he was running around and i put in the apple home again instead of the wooden bridge and he started sleeping on the apple again. yes as of now, he's sleeping once again so i don't want to disrupt his sleep to play with him. i seriously think he takes after his owner. yes me. haha.
i'll be going out for dinner and perhaps a movie later. which is why i'm trying to do some work now and i better make sure i get more work done when i'm back from town. 5 weeks more! 5 weeks more before the end of this semester for me. but till then, still tons to be done. i refuse to keep count but step by step all assignments and projects will be achieved. enjoy your weekend dearies. ta!

chocs make me happy. it's really does inject some happy hormones.. well these few days, my craving for chocs are back. does that mean i've been unhappy? chocs makes me fat. but i rather be fatter and happier than skinner and unhappier. i guess...
i was in sch from 9am to 9pm today. 12 hrs! it's not the first time.. but a rather rare occasion. sch's been really draining these weeks. sapping all my energy. and i'm really not the most hardworking person in sch so i can't imagine how the others do it. i guess it's partially due to the fact that my modules are CA heavy. i always feel like i need a break and i do take those breaks when i feel i deserve or can afford it. and trust me, this time it's not lazy lorrie. i stay true to my statements that i get some work done before i reward myself! haha. it's really tired lorrie. not so much physically. but mentally and emotionally too.
sometimes i get frustrated with things. sometimes i take it easy and remain optimistic. sometimes i just want to run away and hide and wish that i didn't have a worry in the world. sometimes i make that happen, sometimes not.
anyway, i'm back to grey's anatomy. my reward for tonight. :)

i've heard so much abt how people like
grey's anatomy but i didn't want to get hooked. also because i dislike missing the beginnings of shows as i would find myself lost if i started watching from the middle. that was why when it was showing on channel5, and i had the first episode, i didn't plan to start watching it.
today, siding introduced me to the show as we were having our subway dinner in her room. she had the complete season 1 and part of season 2 from lav. she had already watched until season 2 but being siding (doesn't mind watching shows over and over), we watched epis 1 and 2 of season 1 and yes, i like the show.
haha seems like i'm liking almost every other show ey.. but this is kinda like a selective bias cos i'm only blogging abt the shows i like. also seems that i have been watching quite a bit of stuff ey.. but it's really my other form of relaxation and entertainment because other than schwork, project meetings and occasional MAB meetings, i pretty much haven't been out... all work and no play makes lorraine a dull girl.

today is my 1.5th day working at the IT fair. tmr will the 2.5th day and also the last (and my last) of this event. i'm promoting some bodycare equipment for OTO which includes a slimming, detoxification and massage belt and another machine which is supposed to improve ur balance, tone up muscles to achieve an overall slimming effect. hehe. when this opportunity to work for a few days came along, i was hesitant. i was feeling lazy and i was thinking i need the time to catch up on my studies. in the end, the lure of the extra cash ruled. it is a rather easy job but could be boring if you're alone don't know any of the people there. but it was rather fun for me because my fellow loveliest friends/neighbours are also at the job! i'm glad i decided to do it. :)
meanwhile because i'm doing this job, i actually did quite a bit of schwork yesterday because i knew that i wouldn't be free to do it today. funny how it helps ey.. similar to the "i went out today.. feeling guilty so must do more schwork" effect. hahaha i don't think it's like u'll end up doing more work, but because u know u have less time u'll procrastinate less and end up going straight to ur work. and this is not a bad thing for me since i procrastinate all the time. hehe
anyway, on reaching back hall after work, i joined some of my other neighbours (the babies) in the lounge for the movie "50 first dates" while having my late dinner. and as usual, being the fool for romantic comedies and dramas or any love story, haha, i fell in love with the movie yet again. i remember liking it the first time i watched it in the movies with lychee and i still like it now. yep! okay.. feeling tired.. so to bed i go.

i woke up late and missed my date with siding to the eusoff gym. in spite of the tons of sch work waiting for me to be done, i decided to watch "
the notebook" to go along with my lunch. didn't make sense though cos the show was about 2hrs long while i guess lunch would take at max half an hour. but i still went along with my decision. hehe
i really liked the show although it made me cry a lot. even on scenes which seemed perfectly normal and non-tear inducing, i don't know why i got emotional. you know, silly lorrie... hehe it's been a while since i wept i guess and not tt it's a good thing but it feels good to let go again now and then. it's just the sentimental side of me... i haven't read the
book but the show's a romantic cliche love story that sweeps you off your feet. sometimes i doubt that true love exists yet deep down i secretly believe that it does. it's like a dream which i wish would come true or like a star so high up yet i still try and hope to be able to touch.. someday.. makes me feel like reading this book and perhaps more of nicholas spark's books..
i have this craving for crystal jade's porridge and carrot cake but i can't find anyone to pop by holland v with me. yet. hehe cos i'm still hoping to be able to go there later today.

hmm.. anyone who can see this post has any idea why
http://www.iloveteaping.blogspot.com shows my recent posts whereas
http://iloveteaping.blogspot.com doesn't? i've been publishing my blog for a few days already. :( somehow the worldwideweb www makes a difference. this didn't use to happen i think.
i sure hope my friends still get to read my updates. not much sometimes but i guess it's still good to keep in touch with what's happening in lorrie's world or just to hear from silly me.
anyway, today was a rather long day in school. even though i only had classes from 9 to 12, chris and i discussed the fundamentals of our investment analysis project all the way till 4pm. i do hope that we're getting this project right. sometimes it gets so annoying that i just want to get it done regardless of whether it's right. but i know tt shouldn't be the way. this module aside, we still have tons of other projects and assignments to be done so it's still a long way to go before the end of the semester.
have i mentioned that my two best business school kakis are going to graduate this semester? i'll be lonely in my 4th year and it's a bit daunting. well, that's thinking a bit far ahead. i guess for now, step by step. step by step to finish up my projects, assignments and quizzes for this semester. then the long awaited summer holidays which i have yet to have anything planned but a break from school is always good. then my 4th and final year in NUS.
i'm daydreaming again. gotta go back to reality, to my books and notes... hehe.

i wanted to change my blog addy and blog skin as mentioned a few posts ago. here is the new skin! changing addy is a bit trickier though cos i don't know how to go about informing you peeps abt it. i tried putting up a post to inform on iloveteaping before switching the addy. yet when i changed the addy, the iloveteaping site is not to be found anymore so how can you see the last post or even the tagboard on iloveteaping? haha.. well, looks like iloveteaping is here to stay for a while..

frenchloaf decided to take random hall life photos. supposed to be the unglam kind but her camera's memory card was full so we used lav's camera. just somehow lav's camera lighting is weird. anyway i hope you guys can see this (bad lighting!) cos i think this photo is cute and already had the best lighting as compared to the few other shots... haha.. me and my neighbours!
