Super Happening Week

This week is super packed. Apart from usual school stuff:

Wednesday - 6:30am -10:00 am AIESEC Corporate Breakfast at Raffles Hotel
- 8:30pm Work and Travel USA Compulsary Briefing before we leave for the States

Friday - 7:30pm - 9:00pm Social Entrepreneurship Forum at Suntec City (rehearsal)

Saturday - 9:00am - 1:00pm Social Entrepreneurship Forum at Suntec City (real thing)

Just when I thought I'd have the rest of this week to prepare for my GEK1052 project and journal (basis of grade coz it's non-examinable), Hydraulics assignment, and Foundation Engineering assignment...all due on April 2, next Monday. Somemore, I have a final presentation for Engineering Professionalism the very next day.

God is good because we were supposed to have the Engin Prof presentation a while ago, but another group agreed to present first so we'll be presenting next week. That's really great, because then that would be AFTER the Social Entrepreneurship forum. That means I could use the insights and ideas from that forum for our presentation, which is also about - you guessed it right - Social Entrepreneurship. Yay=)

Whew. I love deadlines. Especially the swooshing sound as they fly by.

Mushy SoC Ppl

He is super duper hands down totally sweeeeeeeeeeeeet, can....

Haha:)

Okay, I admit I tend to be really mushy with someone I care for (hello Pisay days).

And this guy reciprocates my saccharine advances (as far as I know I have coined this term) and gives back even more.

We seem to be unconsciously engaging ourselves in who-is-more-candy-coated contest and he seems to be determined to win everytime.

WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE with me okay haha:)

What is it with SoC (School of Computing) guys??? There are two more people (my friend and...hello Pisay days again...) I can associate with this behavior, and their common denominator is that all of them took up programming-related courses in university or stuff similar to it.

Long-distance besprenship

Eventful.

Finally I got some much-needed sleep after my first class...even if it was only a fraction of the usual amount of time I spend in it...

and a broken relationship restored. No one hates me anymore=) Okay, none that I know of=)

=)

I am happy because an old friend has accepted my apologies and has taken another step for us to be okay again. He now calls me 'buddy' haha. =)

You're so much braver than I gave you credit for. Thanks man, and here's to world peace.

I won't give up.

I have never worked so hard for any CCA before.

I have never devoted so much time for any school- (but not academic) -related activity.

I am about to barf AIESEC already. I have been working on this thing since the start of the semester. Now, it is already 6:33 am as of this writing, and I have been awake since I woke up yesterday at 10am. I have a class later at 9am.

I want to complain, to whine about how much I am sick of this already and how much I abhor my superior and the agony he is causing me for the thousand and one revisions I'd had to do for the publicity materials. I also have a lot of deadlines for my modules you know.

However, I am constantly praying to God to please, please calm me down and endure this thing until it ends. Yes, God is teaching me about commitment - because I got myself into this and I am going to finish it. How many times I've been tempted to give up...far too many. I want to just scream at their faces and say "I QUIT!" and leave them hanging in the air- but that's not gonna happen baby. And I have seen past the measly 6 points they have given me in exchange for this turmoil. Yes, this is to prepare myself for the real world out there.

No fragrance without crushing the flowers. No diamonds without tremendous pressure.

The Cadbury Test

I know I like him a lot because I gave him my one and a half last remaining rows of my Cadbury chocolate.




I've never given anyone my last bits of Cadbury until now.

PS And it's not because my chocolate didn't come with Hazelnuts. Even if it came with Hazelnuts I'd still give it to him so he'd have something to munch on while finishing his project in SoC lab.

PPS Hey my beloved friends and taggers, something is wrong with my shoutbox. Whenever I try to reply or tag, it'd always go like this: SERVER ERROR. Hrrrmph.

Such is the irony of life

GOSH. I have never received a hate mail before in my entire life. A very elaborate one with a cacophony of censored titles and with death threats to boot.

Welcome to the real world, Korinna.

:(

Saturday blues

Gosh. Last Saturday, I intended to go for the workshop in church. But then...haiz=( I got tempted to stay back to do school stuff. I had a long list written on a post-it which I conveniently placed near the keyboard of my laptop. So far though, I only have one item slashed off the list.

One of the things I needed to do was for our project in designing shallow foundations. We were given reports and we need to analyze it to be able to proceed with our design. We were given data regarding two borelogs made on the soil, aptly entitled Soil Investigation Pte Ltd: Record of Boring. No other report lives up to its name.

Which is why, after finishing my part for that report, I dozed off and woke up at 2 am because Wayne knocked on my door. I was shocked for having slept without taking my dinner, and waking up to find my room in the same state as it was Saturday afternoon.

Then I read Robinson's blog, and I found out the workshop was about our church's theme for this year: Go Fish. I NEEDED THAT. Everytime I try to tell someone about my faith, I'd always end up saying the wrong things. I look at my life and get even more discouraged, because I am not exactly a shining example of what a Christian should be.

I always tell Kuya Martin about my struggles, and he always patiently tries to explain to me the same things over and over again. It's as though I never learn from what he's taught me before. Why?

Hmm...there's always next time. But the thing is, I should grab that next time and not let it slip through my fingers like sand.

Peace, Man

It has been creeping into my subconscious that it's wrong to secretly hate my groupmate for things he has done in the past. I must learn how to let the bad things slide over like water on the surface of glass. Why not just forgive the tiny mistakes he might not even have intentionally made? Because actually, I am beginning to see that he has a significant level of goodness in his core...it's just that he has some idiosyncrasies that annoy me. However, I realized that I should be more tolerant of him, because he is unique - just like everyone else.

Pfft.

I HATE THE FACT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO FOREGO MY DINNER WITH SEN JUST TO ATTEND OUR GROUP MEETING THAT WAS RE-SCHEDULED LATER ON FRIDAY NIGHT JUST BECAUSE MY *FAVORITE* GROUPMATE COULDN'T MAKE IT EARLIER.

*Shudder*

Please. So far, I only see him on Fridays coz we have our other commitments and stuff, and even that is taken away.
