a place where she always goes

i realised i have adopted the bad habit of watching tv day in day out. i mean, i have returned to watching "shi jian lu" at 4.30, and dont-know-what-chinese-serial at 5.30. then after i watch the news and eat dinner, and continue watching tv until 11pm. oh wells. and while i mark papers. hm. is that a good sign or a bad sign? of course, i run off halfway at night to talk on the phone for a short while, then i either fall asleep or return to watching tv. yawn.

goodness. i was just looking at the SMU accounting courses, and to be frankly honest, i wanna do so many of the various courses offered, even when they say just choose one/two/three or goodness knows how many. personally to me, they appeal to me. very much. of course, i would stick to some safe ones, but those that im interested in definitely. lemme see.
lets start off with general education:
from the arts side, i would like to try linguistics, geography and foreign language (take the chance to learn german or french). but from the science side, i would like to try chemistry, life science, and maybe pschology. but i only need to do 4 courses from general educaion. oh whine.
then we have global and regional studies.
tax planning is compulsory, but i wanna do intellectual property rights, law and international business, political science and public policy. most interested in public policy. but they would only allow me to choose one. cos two courses are required and tax planning is one of them. oh sigh.
next, Technology & Entrepreneurship.
they said choose two courses.
me wanna do Chemicals & Biotechnology, Communications & Information Technology, IT & the Law, New Media Technology.
i know i wont have the time to do them all, but i am interested in them all. oh whine. oh sigh.
all i pray hope is, going to SMU to study is not a wrong choice, but in fact, the best choice i could have ever made. yeah. i mean, sometimes i do question myself. why am i going against the flow, when everybody is moving to NUS and NTU. but ultimately somebody will go against the flow. and if i really wanna be true to myself, it's time to wake up and think what really interests me, and what will motivate me to study. i admit, science is really not my forte, but maths is actually alright. i mean, i do enjoy doing maths and was rather happy when i saw that statistics is in the syallbus at SMU, meaning i'll see the same things that i used to do for fmaths, like discrete, continuous, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression. eh wait, in fact everything i learnt is the bulk of it, only 2 extra courses that look more or less vaguely familar. and i loved stats. and i still do. yeah. consider me mad, but i do love stats. which means, roo i cant sell you my calculator, cos think like i would need it ultimately. yeah. for the convenience of it all.
maybe i cant wait for school life to begin, and start studying again.
i aim to be a mugger this time round.
no more playing the fool and neglecting my studies.
no more. but i will and hope to enjoy life, and keep in touch with friends as much as possible. that is provided, they will want to keep in touch with me still.


yesterday only one person msged me after reading my blog entry.
thank you joyce tan. grin. *hugs* love ya.
dont know when that yy is going to japan. *sulks* *jealous*
she gets to go to japan and play. no fair. hahaha.
am just trying to play the idiot here.
lalalala.
going back to hwachong on saturday for interact elections.
cant wait to see what kind of 20th exco would be born on this coming sat. yeah. i know, last year i was pretty much apprehensive about the whole issue cos i had no inkling if my choices (or rather, our choices) were right. but i think it turned out to be pretty good, and successful. i mean, the president was obvious. nobody else could have taken up the post aside from him. i bet if we gave the presidency post to somebody else, there would have been an uproar. yeah. soon it will be installation time, and we would go back and gate crash again. as usual. it was nice to see the seniors seated together with the teachers last year when we were stepping down, though mok wasnt present. he dint even come down for the whole thing i think. although he did rush down after our elections to kaypo kaypo at the results. and the seniors were having a fun time telling us their opinions and giving us their comments. i wonder if it would be the same this year. put it this way, the 17th (mok's batch) and the 18th (our batch) were close, but i dont think the 18th and the 19th are that close. somehow i think. just a feeling. it might be wrong. even when pansy and wendy are in there, i dont feel that close to them anymore. even though only a short 4 months odd have flew past. which is pretty quickly i gotta admit. unlike the good old days of jc time when time seemed to crawl by. i dont know. sometimes time seem to crawl nowadays but when i am enjoying myself, time flies. oh wells.

are we still watching troy tmr? hm. i wanna see shrek 2. hint hint hint. "P
