Temporary Break + Other News

Feeling: Well-Rested
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Linkin Park- Robot Boy

As title says :(

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates I’ve been giving the blog, I feel really bad about it. And I’m not even done with the Singapore trip T_T

My thesis is due 29th November 2010, which means I need to focus and go full steam ahead on it. Apart from that, I also have a lab report due next Tuesday, 16th November 2010, need to prepare for a presentation during research colloquium on the 27th November 2010 and have a poster display for that day x_x Agh. So yeah, I wouldn’t be actively posting because I’ll be focusing on my thesis and assignments :P

In other news- those who know me would have already known that I will most likely be going to Singapore to further my studies- my Master’s degree. I haven’t officially graduated from University yet, that would be April 2011 (Since I’m extending one semester) so I can’t officially apply, but I am looking at Nanyang Technological University‘s Masters in Psychology course. I’ll be doing Social Psychology, with emphasis on organisations/organisational behaviour :) I hope that everything goes well and smoothly, though D:

Therefore, I’ll be heading down to Singapore some time next year after I graduate to check out the university, as well as other options :D Yay for another Singapore trip, albeit a more official one :P I’m quite thankful that I’m not going so far for a one-year course, since there’s a lot to be done, and being able to shuttle back and forth to do the application and the like is definitely a plus.

Though… I need to schedule a GRE and TOEFL test ._. TOEFL is OK… but GRE… I need to do math again zomg T_T

10/10/10!

Feeling: Languid
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Linkin Park- Wretches And Kings

Apologies for the lack of updates, especially on the Singapore trip! :( University is in a way taking its toll on me, and there are soooo many photos of the trip to process, the lazy bug just sometimes catches a hold on me >_> I promise I will endeavour to update as soon as I can, and I also realise that the previous post is pretty boring when written down :P

Anyway, today is a Perfect 10 day! :D Just thought I’d like to post on this rare occasion and have it marked on my archive calendar XD

Taking a leaf from this post by My Women Stuff (Ssh >_>), what’s my Perfect 10?

I’d also have to say my parents :P For the same reason- no matter what, they’re always supportive of whatever I do and they do their all to give me the best they can. And also a special mention to my dearest Louis :3

I’m not going to go to the material aspect of my Perfect 10, that’s a bit too much and it changes too often >_> But it has to be gadgets, books and skincare/makeup :D Oh, and my pets… and stuff like quality time…

Tomorrow will be my 15th month anniversary with dearest (Time does fly!), but we’ll both be having classes and at jarring times T-T Though we’ll be having dinner together, so all’s still well. He’ll also might be going to Singapore (For work) from Tuesday to Wednesday… I wish I could go to Singapore pif :(

Singapore Trip Day 2- 18th August 2010

Feeling: Accomplished, Floppy
Weather: Cool And Cloudy
Listening To: Slash Featuring Ozzy Osbourne- Crucify The Dead

Sorry for the massive delay! :(

Anyway, on 18th August 2010, or day 2 in Singapore, dearest Louis, Mum and me hit Singapore Zoo… for the entire day. Yes, that includes the Night Safari :D So this post will have all animal photos and not much in the way of text XD

Warning though, it’s very image intensive- about more than 100 photos @_@ Blame it on trigger-happy dearest!

The tickets to Singapore Zoo :D With the tourist map/guide of the entire place and the cute serviette obtainable at its cafe :3 I took one (Or a few, I can’t exactly remember :P) as a souvenir because it’s adorable! :x

Likewise, the Night Safari tickets and the tourist map/guide, which we purchased after we were done with Singapore Zoo XD One of the tickets were purchased with a Night Safari lanyard that’s not pictured here because it was in its paper bag :P

Having arrived at the Singapore Zoo and heading towards the entrance. It was drizzly :(

Near the entrance :D The elephants are so adorable, although they’re not real.

We committed a tourist faux-pas of not having taken a group photo under the big sign near the entrance/ticketing booths that says Singapore Zoo, but there were a lot of groups of people queuing to do so so… >_>

Trying my hand at wrangling a crocodile :P

The fish in a pond near an entrance. Fat, huh?

Inside, opposite the souvenir shop, were parrots, and these were some of them :D

A pink parrot! Reminds me of a really tame one back in Labuan Bird Park… it was tame enough to let me touch it, but these apparently bite, according the zoo wardens D:

Mum and me, wildlife rangers! XD

The Rest Of Day 2 In Singapore!

I am supposed to update with the later parts of my Singapore trip >_> It’s been so long delayed, eeeep. My sincerest apologies for that.

The semester for University just officially started (We’re in the… what, 3rd week now) and I have been ill for the most of last week (With food poisoning, apparently) :x Plus there are over 700 photos to filter through… so yeah. I’ll get them up as soon as I iron out kinks that needed to be ironed during the start of every semester (Planning assignments, etc) and I’ll get to them as soon as possible :D
