Today marks the last day of week 8. It'll just be over 3 days before exam timetable's out and I can't believe that I'm actually anticipating its release. That's a first.

Went to cut my hair on Sunday. After church we went to eat lunch at Boxhill as usual and all 4 of us came back to the city to cut hair. Actually was intending to cut after week 12 but before exams, but since the guys wanted to cut that day and Judith decided to go trim hers, i just went along and cut it too since i'll be cutting it sooner or later anyway.

Had the Management Accounting Systems mid semester test this afternoon. It was a wreck, i kept repeating the same points over and over again to a point that I didn't know what i was writing anymore. Hopefully Sue will pass me for it *cross fingers & toes*.

Today the village dropped us a note that they're gonna check the unit for cleanliness and if everything is maintained well or not next week. I was like THANK GOD! My side of the room is fine, kitchen and toilet just need a little vacuuming up and it'll be good. This will force my roommate to pack up her disasterous room! Am intending to borrow the vacuum cleaner from recep tomorrow to vacuum the kitchen, toilet and my side of the room. Been wanting to get my own vacuum cleaner, but just too hesitant about it since we can actually borrow 1 really bulky one from the recep. So i'll just do that tomorrow. The roommate's just gonna borrow it on Monday if they don't allow us to hold it through the weekend. Guess she needs the whole weekend to pack up her room and dump all the rubbish in her room before she can start vacuuming.

It's another really boring weekend. Been watching Singapore shows on Xinmsn, so it's still alright. It's been eating up a whole chunk of data but at least it's keeping me entertained. I guess I'll have to top up the data soon when it runs out if not internet is a goner for me.

It's the end of week 7 and the coming start of week 8 and the final week of April! 9 more days til the provision exam timetable will be out and I can plan my time over the next 2.5 months and book my plane ticket back to Singapore!

I know I have heaps of things to do, but just can't seem to wrap my head around them. I think I better study and do up the weekly online test for Accounting Theory by today and also do up the group's second group meeting minutes and email it to everyone before the group come after me.

Somehow, don't know why, everybody just disappeared together. Probably hiding somewhere mugging I guess. Haven't skyped with a FRIEND in over a month now. It's getting better these days. Don't really feel as bored and lonely at the start of the semester. Probably it's a sign that I've gotten used to being alone and there's shows online to kill time and to keep me entertained too. Owell, I hope everybody come back online real soon after exams or so and come on to skype with me!

It's Friday of week 6, like finally! It's been a rather tragic week. Had been rushing all my assignments since last Thursday and hadn't been sleeping much, prob just about 2 hrs each night. Was rushing til i finally finished my final assignment due this week which was the OB literature review essay at 7am on Tuesday! I had Current Issues lecutre at 9.30am and reckon i could squeeze in an hour's rest, but i overslept til 9.30am and that was the time that my lecture started! Was 30min late. Worse was that i didn't rest when i got back that day and overslept on Wednesday til 9.15am when my OB seminar started at 8.30am! For all lectures OB is the last one that you ever wanna miss cuz the students are running the class! I quickly messaged my grp members that i overslept and on my way to class and I ran my guts out all the way to school. I was just over an hour late and only sat through class for 30 min before class ended. I felt so horrible for being so late for class and I hope my grp mates aren't angry.

It's been a massively tiring week and I'm just glad it's over.

Week 7 please come quick and kick off the 2nd half of the semester!

Alright, 1 more day of semester break and I've not really touched on any of my assignments due next week except for the current issues grp project. I really should start on my OB literature review essay like now! It's a 1750 word essay + Harvard referencing.

I'd been fairly entertained by facebook and storybooks, so much so I'm neglecting everything else. Tomorrow, i shall spend the whole day researching for the management accounting major project for Thursday's discussion and attempt to write at least 1/2 of my OB lit. review essay. Tell me again why i hate writing essays.

So, Daylight Savings ended on Saturday and so we all had to turn our clocks and watches 1 hour back from Sunday onwards. The thing was that all of us forgot even though Aunty Swee Lan did send us an email to remind us a couple of days before. Was just wondering why can't they just stick to 1 timezone, it's so confusing. What happened was that I woke up in the middle of the night at supposedly 4.30am , which was Singapore 1.30am. Checked both my aussie and sgp handphone and Singapore hp was showing 1.30am but the aussie showed 3.30am, checked my watch and it gave me 4.30am. I thought my aussie hp timing went haywire and came online to check only to realise that daylight savings had ended. Thank God I woke up in the middle of the night to clarify my timings cuz I had to go to church on Sunday, don't wanna get my timing mixed up. On Sunday morning when I was about to leave for church, Marcus called me to ask if it was 8am or 9am, cuz his handphone stated 8am but his watch says 9am. So he thought he was late for church. That's how confused everybody got. Haha!

Aunty Siew Lian was in town for a week to visit Jon Lai who's studying in Monash. She decided to meet the PPCoC youths for lunch after church on Sunday. Jon lives quite far from everybody else, so he visits another Church of Christ in another suburb, so after their service he drove down together with Aunty Siew Lian to the Belmore Road Church of Christ to pick Marcus, Judith and I for lunch. Aunty Siew Lian and Jon treated us to a chinese meal and insisted that each of us pick dish that we haven't had in a really long time. It was really great seeing them again. Haven't seen them in years ever since Jon and Aunty Siew Lian left Pasir Panjang CoC to join the Bishan CoC. Aunty Siew Lian used to teach me in Junior Bible class at the primary level. It was really awesome and glad to meet them.

Alright, I'm gonna take some rest now and start chionging all my assignments from tomorrow onwards. I had far too many slack days over the semester/easter break. It's time to get working and looking forward to the many many late and sleepless nights ahead.

Happy Easter everybody! Can't believe I'd spent the entire Good Friday at home....playing bejeweled! Ok, I did do the laundry and cook myself noodles and wontons for lunch and 5 miserable chicken wings/drumlets for dinner. Am actually quite hungry now so went after the remaining 1/2 bar of Lindt hazelnut chocolate that I'd bought over a mth ago. Well, it's Easter after all right, we should all eat a little chocolate on Easter.

It's the 2nd day of semester break and I guess I've gotta get myself started on at least 1 assignment tomorrow. For once I'm in at home the whole day and not really killing myself over boredom.
