I had been complaining of not being able to plan a 3 day week for next sem. Now, it seems like my worries are over. I can have a 3 day week while also being able to cope with my job (need to work till at least the end of August)! If only I can convince myself to take a certain module since I very much wish to take up 6 modules next sem.Here's the draft:HL203: Renaissance and RestorationHL211: Science FictionHL409: Popular Literature(What I need to convince myself to take) HL217: Directed Study in Literature: SE Asian Women's WritingCOM204: Basic Media Writing orCOM206: Visual Literacy and CommunicationHC252: Language and Society (I can try a minor in Chinese with this module first; I can take HC101 or HC102 later since the pre-requisite for this module is a B4 or better in O level Chinese or equal!)All these modules in a 3 day week with Wednesdays and Thursdays off, while also allowing me to take what I intend and want. Forensic Science or Genes R us will have to wait. Anyone taking the same modules as me, especially HL217? We shall see. Life is carefree once again:)

This shall be a post about good food and scenery. Pictures below. Shall not write much, pictures speak a lot more than I can ever use words to describe. :) Tiramisu! Tempura Ice-cream with strawberry syrup  Last but not least, the clear, calm, blue sea at Vivo/Sentosa. It gives one a peaceful feeling, or calms one down, at least for me..

Life on a roller coaster.. Have you ever wondered what life on a roller coaster would be like? I guess I know a little now.. It may be fresh and interesting at first, but it tires after a while.. Why do I say that? That's because I feel my life has been like that this week..Got called back to work yesterday after exams when all I really wanted to do was to slack and do mindless stuff. (The exam paper feels like a re-enactment of my previous science pe; I crapped for the paper.) It was hard to reject yesterday, simply because the request came from my shop manager. How do you reject your boss??? Then today, someone from the shop called me and asked me to do relief at Taka before my actual shift (6 to close) today. Hello??? Is there no one else you can call? If I agreed and go there, I'll have to rush back to Vivo later. What is that? And of course, I was so not in the mood to work until my actual shift today. Anyway, it's not like i'll miss making millions of dollars if I don't go. I need my rest, ok? I'll have to work all the way to Sunday. And who knows when my next off day will be, since mine was cancelled yesterday? Of course, I said I cannot. I feel like such a whiner, but I can't help it. Too much frustration building up.. However, I do enjoy working there. It's just that I like to whine.. (Sorry to someone who will read this and feel bad. I know you wanna work and here I am complaining about it..) I wanted to look at subject content and sorta plan my timetable for next sem. But it was a mess. It seems like I can't plan a decent timetable. Everything keeps clashing. Modules, please stop clashing with one another! How am I to do my minor in Comms Studies if almost every module I'm interested in for CS clashes with this and that? Even with the Lit modules too. Where on earth is Lit and Madness and Contemporary Lit? Whiner inside of me whining yet again, but I have the right to do so. I feel so messed up, period.

Oh well, here I am trying to study yet again for my animation module. The exam is tomorrow and till now, I still feel like I haven't really gotten anything into my puny brain. I have work at 6 and this is my last chance to study. I'll probably go to bed the minute I step into my room tonight. Sleep is such a release when you have things to do.. Study Lesli, study.. I know I already su-ed the module, but I still want to feel like I know what I am doing tomorrow morning. Know what I mean? I want to feel like a good student who has done her work even if the module is crap. It's a mentality as well as pride thingy.. Ok, back to studying before I go for work this evening. Best of luck to myself and my friends taking the animation module! We shall celebrate after this whole thing ends, which is less than 24 hours away! :)

To tell the truth I was pretty angry with the mess-up and uncertainy at work yesterday. They changed the schedule for this week at the very last minute and as it ended up, I only know about my schedule today. I don't actually mind, if not for the fact that I was the only one who does not know whether I am working today/Monday. Whatever... Luckily this week's schedule is pretty slack, if I can say so. It definitely beats having to work a full shift. [I only need to work at night tomorrow/today. Which is good since I have a morning paper the next day.]Since I don't have to work, I met up with Karen and Vera for a 'study' session. 'study' because I wasn't really studying. 'study' because we gave up and went for coffee/dessert instead after about three hours of trying to study. But it was still better than if I stayed home. I would not have touched the papers at all. Hopefully some of what I read went into my head. May Wednesday come soon and let me get the whole thing over and done with.. And thank goodness I'm not working that day, I have the feeling I'll be super tired by night-time. 9 am paper! Found out something today. Vera and I love tiramisu.. Seriously, if I have to name a favourite dessert, it will be tiramisu even if it is green tea/red bean combination. :)Two more. People, if you haven't watched Men in White, go watch. It's super hilarious, seriously. Definitely worth the ticket price for a Made in Singapore movie. To friends who asked me out, I'm sorry I can't reply you right away because my working schedule is given on a weekly basis. Hmm?

Kudos to my curiousity. Because of it, I got to know my exam results at the very first minute. Can't believe it but results were released at exactly 12 midnight. I'm ok with my results, just a bit upset with a certain module. Also, the admin stuff should really do their job well. Fancy them messing up our degree audit. What's going on???Finished watching Pride today. It's awesome and I'm glad I found it on youtube. I missed most of the episodes when it was shown on tv then. I think Takuya and the female lead has great on-screen chemistry. "Love is a game, or is it not?" :) I'm hooked onto JDramas, especially those by Takuya. Oh oh.. Haha.. After resting for two days, I feel recharged. It's such a relief from work.. It's a tiring job but the friends are great! I have one more day to rest before having to work on Saturday.. Guess I can only say this, I am working 'cause I want the money. Really, money can be such an evil and yet necessity at times. :pSpeaking of money, I watched the Wednesday's episode of Deal or No Deal. If I had been on that episode, I would have been a rich young lady now. Haha.. The reason is simple, I would have chosen case 24 to keep. As it turns out, case 24 happens to be carrying the most cash, $250,000. Haha, see my point?Since everyone is talking about which lit modules to take next sem, I might as well join in the fun. Ok, tentatively, these are the modules I'm considering:1) Popular Literature2) Introduction to American Literature3) Renaissance to RestorationI think I will definitely take those 3 modules. And if I were to take a 4th module, these are what I'm considering:1) Contemporary Literature2) Film TheoryI wouldn't mind Modern Drama too, if not for the professor. I don't know if I want to be taught by him again. Ok with modules talk. I'm gonna watch Man in White tomorrow with Sis. Will it be nice? I shall know soon:)
