Hugs

I just found out my sister has received more than 3000 hugs on her hugs counter. What?!! I have less than 50...

Update

Okies, this post is an update of all the goals I had for the study break.

I haven't finished the abnormal assignment yet... but hopefully I can have it done by tonight *fingers crossed*

11 people have completed my experiment so far - thanks so much guys! I really appreciate it! So only 14 to go.. *anyone wanna do an experiment?*

Haven't done any lecture readings yet. This was expected.

Sooo... not going very well am I? Heheh...

The Simpsons

Being a Simpsons fan, here are some really great quotes:


"You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on."

"What's the point of going out? We're just going to end up back here anyway."

"The three little sentences that will get you through life - No.1: Cover for me. No.2: Oh, good idea, Boss. No.3: It was like that when I got here."

"The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV."


Apologies if I got any wrong, I think the wording on some of them are wrong.

Monday Bloody Monday

Today is a Monday - the start of the two weeks break. My major goals for this break are as follows:

1. Finish all three psych assignments by the first week (or at least the abnormal assignment)
2. Catch up on the readings for each lecture
3. Get at least 25 people to do my experiment (any international students who want to complete a questionnaire?)
4. Go out with Amy, Dorcas, and Hidi -- we are sooo going out Dorcas!!

Hopefully by the end of these two weeks, I will have at least one goal completed. I hope.

Hoobastank

I love this song - Hoobastank -- 'The Reason'

------------------------------------------------

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

.

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why i need you to hear

.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is You

.

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

.

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

Reading Digest

I really should write something poignant shouldn't I? I mean, I was just talking to Taz and she mentioned someone elses blog (will not mention names) was very whiny. Don't worry Taz, we know a lot of people - no one will know who we are talking about. It could be you reading this right now! Just kidding, I'm sure the person won't go to this blog. So anyway, here's my insightful stuff which I stole from Reader's Digest:



There is this difference between happiness and wisdom: he who thinks himself the happiest man really is so; but he who thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool. -- Charles Caleb Colton


Because I reckon that I'm quite a shy person, I quite like this quote:

Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating. -- Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


Nothing wrong with being quiet.

P/S. The title of this post is from the Simpsons

Movies

I am debating whether to go watch a movie in my break right now. My next class is at 1pm, and it is only 9:50am right now. I can't go home 'cos I live so far away...

I should really get started on my other assignments, but I told myself that I will do them in the first week of the holidays - get them out of the way so that I can do nothing in the second week. We shall see what happens.

Well, Dorcas and Jeffrey are checking the movie times (I am really influencing them...how bad)... Picadilly has two movies on around this time - White Chicks or something else (I can't even remember, I'm too tired).


Ali

So so tired

Okies, just finished my assignment... I hope it's good, but I don't really care at the moment. I am too tired. I have to stop doing last minute work. Dorcas is sitting right next to me in G25. We are just wasting time, talking about that kayak ad (Dorcas loves it). You know, the beer ad where there is a man holding a kayak everywhere he goes...


I think when I read this post I will not even understand what I am saying.

Saturday

So today I really should have most of my assignment done as I am going to Youth Alive tonight. Hopefully I will be able to focus today and make this assignment a really well done one.


Chrissy and Jess - sorry I can't make it tonight! But I know that you guys will have an excellent time tonight regardless. Congratulations on becoming an adult!

As you can see from my blog title, I am still a teenager. But I only have a few months left until I am "in my 20s" *Shudder* (is that how you spell it? It looks wrong). Many of my friends are having this similar reaction at turning 20. I think that we are scared of being an adult, finally being solely responsible for your actions, for your future... what happens if we screw up?

As well as this, I think many people regret (me included) to things that they haven't done. I mean, I'm almost an adult, but what have I achieved so far? Not much...

But then, I know that God knows my destiny, so what is the point worrying about it? I guess we should just enjoy each day as it comes, because seriously, one day it will be your last.


So to all the people under 20 - enjoy your youth! Seriously. Because I am missing it already.

Firstly...

After much contemplation I have decided to create my own blog. The main reason for my doing so is because I am procrastinating to avoid doing my assignment.


Another reason to create a blog is for the people I haven't seen for a while - it's a great way of keeping in touch! So to all the people who I haven't seen for ages... get a blog so that I may secretly interfere with your lives! :OP (Norelle, I got the website address from your email *grinz*).

To the friends that I see on a regular basis - Jo, Jess, Christine, and Lauren... with all the stuff going on in our lives, it's hard to find time to hang out with each other! So hopefully by reading this blog you guys will know more about me (as I lead such an interesting life... *sarcastic tone*).



The last reason why I decided to create a blog was because I recently developed a habit of reading other people's blogs - Lay Hooi, Amy, Liz, Ling, Hidi & Dorcas (just recently - found the link from Amy's blog)... it has inspired me to create my own. So yes...


Okies, that's it for now, I'm sure you guys who actually read this post have fallen asleep next to the computer, but congratulations for making it thus far.

P/S I am not computer literate, so don't expect to much from this blog. There will most probably be no pictures, links or extra stuff. I can only do basic things on the computer - like turning it on and off.
