update!

my mood for revision has been fluctuating !
that is sooo wrong.
doesn't help that i've got a million and one distractions.
bejeweled, the hills, the city, kourtney and khloe take miami, running in heels.
can you keep up ?

counting down, 16 days to the first paper.
i'm having an anxiety attack already ! SOS. 911.
does it help that my mind's already thinking about the holidays?
hmm guess not.

today 10.10.09 marks the day,
that I, Shereen Mustafar & a friend,
will start our diet & exercise regimes!
25.12.09 is our goal,
to look hot this Christmas!
whoo!

anyways,
with facebook,
these days i hardly blog, post pictures.
i will, after exams!

i accompanied boo & his family to T3 two days ago,
to catch the Michael Jackson tribute!
he's the one in Scary Movie!
he mimics MJ pretty well,
but nothing measures up the the King of Pop himself.
check it out!

this is it.

official revision starts today,
1st October !

did you catch The Hills & The City premieres?!
Kristin Cavallari is ruining what Lauren Conrad has built up for the show,
she is one major byotch.
while The City seems to be more of my cuppa tea now,
i'll still be tuning in to The Hills :)

remember the book L.A Candy by Lauren, which i was glued to earlier last month?
well... Paramount Pictures (i think) has bought the rights to turn the novel into a movie!!
awesomeness.

tickets for Michael Jackson's This Is It is on sale now !
sadly it premieres in the midst of my exams,
but, thankfully it'll run for two weeks.
hurry get yours today !!!
it's gonna be mind blowing!

bi-polar.

i've been super cranky, temperamental and moody recently.
it's time to start my revision,
but i'm not feeling IT yet.
i've already got my notes in place,
planned out my 36days of revision nicely.
but my head's really not mentally with me.

i'm constantly venting my anger on the boyfriend,
lucky for me, he still manages to tahan with his very last ounce of tolerance (which he refills daily).
it's not that i don't love you enough,
to not be mean,
i just can't help it !
girls, you totally understand right?
it's like every single thing irritates me these days !
not like the weather is making things any better anyhow.

assignment and test results are taking forever to be released.
i usually use them as motivators for my revision.
the only one that was released, was just a pass.
uh uh, totally not motivated please.

bejeweled on facebook has got me hooked, big time.
i can click till my fingers cramp up,
and i'll still be clicking away.
till my eyes feel almost crossed,
till my head spins.

do you remember Dinosaurs from the 90s?
you know the one with the adorable albeit kinda scary looking baby,
that is able to speak the moment he hatches out from the dino egg?
yes , that one!
i remember vaguely ...
but vivid enough that i remember.
okie not making sense.
but hey, what happened to good ol' tele?
bring back the 90s i say !!!
shows these days are all crap.
thanks to the era of reality shows eh.
guilty to say, i am a fan though LOL.

boyfriend started his new jobbie yesterday !
he's now a co-teacher in a secondary school somewhere in the east.
so exciting!
know what,
given the bad job market these days,
i do have thoughts on jumping on MOE,
as a back up, after graduating.
we'll see.

on a side note,
hair's at my waist.
to cut, or not to cut??

just call my name.

we spent the night (and morning) at Alicia's till 5+am,
across the road to Macs for an egg mcmuffin.
and that marked the end of our SM group report.
to hell with the other two free loaders,
seriously, where's ya head at?
have you no initiative?
congrats to you, for getting a such an easy 30%.

i've got just one more essay to go,
i can do this.
i know i can, i have to !

saturday was a nice cosy time at mark's.
cuddling equates love.

it's hari raya tomorrow.
urgh.
totally not looking forward.

check this out.
amazing video.

The Ugly Truth about.... men?

i really look forward to my weekends,
for it's the only time of the week i allow myself to just, chill.
i get to spend time with him, watch a movie or two (complete with popcorn, duh!) or just laze around, i don't like roaming the malls aimlessly no more.
it's a mad rush this coming two weeks,
for i've got 3 deadlines to meet.
say a total of 10,000 word limit.

and,
finally, the BKK trip WILL eventually take place!
kudos to my sponsors :)
and of course alicia for making all necessary arrangements!
for now, i will work my butt off and do my school work,
just so i know i can thoroughly enjoy my holidays.
the exam schedule is out,
and yeah i am getting the jitters already.
like give me a break.
best part is,
come Monday, Hari Raya Puasa's Public Holiday,
we're required to go back to school for a submission.
like wtf seriously.

The Ugly Truth : 3 / 5 stars

i really like Katherine Heigl !
no i do not watch Grey's Anatomy,
but she was great in Knocked Up!
however, this romantic comedy's kinda.. expected.
i wasn't blown away, it was ya know,
just alright.
you should catch it anyways.

holla with me.

where should i start?
with EG group report and Finance test done with...
it's time to move on to the next three.
i remember that particular week where i felt so effin' lousy & moody..
you can always trust on the boo to cheer you up :)
for he got me a black longchamp!
and i got myself one in this season's in lime-blossom :)

swimming pictures from swimming-Tuesday!

honey duncha see

it's amazing what clothes and bags can do to lift me up.
that aside, my worry, is gone !
unfortunately, not exactly for good.
but i'll take it a step at a time :)

boyfriend & i decided to hit town,
made an unexpected, impulse purchase (ha! what's new?).
which totally was a result of punishing the boyfriend for being a badass.
and hey, no one's complaining !
so thank you mark my love for being naughty ;)

i signed up for BagaholicBoy's 2nd Anniversary give-away !
i sure as hell, hope that the Balenciaga will be mine to own !
urgh, if it's one thing i can't resist, it's BAGS !!
and dresses :)

G.I Joe: The Rise of the Cobra - 4 / 5 stars

G.I Joe was da bomb !
boo and i really didn't expect it.
action was incredible, so were Channing Tatum's abs ;)
overall, great storyline & twist!
not just another action flick, with just, well action.
i love how Marlon Wayans (think, White Chick !) adds a comedic element into such an intense show!
i was literally at the edge of my seat most of the time!
2 thumbs up!

its whatever , really

yes, i'm back.
feeling angry and upset.
my IE's history is gone !
my passwords were set to "remember me".
now i can't seem to set it back.
argh so frustrating.

no, the group did not manage to present yesterday.
now it's being dragged to next week.
i haven't really touched Finance yet,
with so many projects, i NEED to manage my time well !

sarah will be going back to Canada soon,
and we only met once so far!
it wasn't even a proper meet up.

i promised to meet bhav soon,
but obviously,
it's been dragging on since forever.

i've got another thing that has been bothering me.
but i can't mention it here.
why why why!!!

FML.

ohlala

i'm feeling so upset right now. beyond words.
it really sucks that the BKK trip will not materialise.
meant to be eh.

i've got a thousand and one things to complete,
with so little time!
i need my beauty sleep so badly,
can't remember when was the last time i had 12hours of sleep.
gone are the days...

with the finance test drawing closer,
anxiety is gradually building up.
at the back of my head i know i can do this,
but why is it i still think that i can't ?
complexity overload.

full day in school today really wore me out.
HRD presentation tomorrow!
i hope we'll score a distinction :)


UP : 3.5 / 5 stars

markie love & i caught UP yesterday !
isn't Russel the cutest thing?
looks just like my boo when he was little :)
just that boo wasn't in no Wilderness Explorer Club ! haha
i teared at the first part of the flick,
even without words,
it says so much.
i thought this animation was pretty good,
although kids would probably not be able to understand what its all about.

pledge yourselves?

i've been keeping myself busy with stuff at school.
the upcoming weeks will be really packed with a test and assignment deadlines.
ha, and the following month too.
with the first assignment done, it's time to move on to the next.
i can't seem to catch what the lecturer is talking about in Finance class.
urgh. doesn't help that it's on Saturdays.

time passed really fast today.
class at noon,
boyfriend picked me up,
and off we were to guitar shopping :)
oh, we went to this one at Katong Shopping Centre,
the sales assistant told me i had to leave my bag at the front of the shop,
like on a cart... and anyone could've just taken it and run away!
it's so dumb really,
like HELLO! like i can so fit a guitar into my A4 size bag.
fyi, they don't sell guitar strings, tabs and what not (you know small accessories).
celebrated markie's dad's birthday today too :)
crab was absolutely yumsss.

something interesting happened on my way to school.
this buncha teenagers, dressed in our national colors,
boarded the train, starting shouting out loud,
asking everyone to join in "The Moment" at 8.22pm today.
in case you didn't know,
it's a moment where all of Singapore will supposedly recite the pledge together.
hmm i mean creative way to raise awareness,
but do you think people will really do that?
knowing Singaporeans!
yeah and everyone else stared at them like gong-gong.
hey, i smiled at them!

something else that's interesting!
chong sent me this sms, that got me and my family laughing out loud:

We, the passengers of MRT,
poise ourselves as one united kiasu.
Regardless of pregnant women,, elderly & little children,
to chiong in when the doors open,
so as to achieve seats, sleep & rest.

haha like what the hell right.
but hey, i think it soo describes the typical sort of Singaporeans.
eh eh i'm one of the exceptions ok.

wheee Sunday!

satisfy me.

i've got my eye on a new Canon lens for my toy,
but, i don't know if i really need/want it.
i don't wanna get it on impulse.
the workshop the other day,
was pretty much a waste of my time, unfortunately.
i figured i don't need no workshop,
i will mould my own style.

it's sickening that i can't get my mind off that freakin Miu Miu tote,
the one i saw, felt and, am still drooling over.
it's now that i realise Louis Vuitton bags are... kinda disgusting.
someone, please... i need a remedy.

boyfriend & i went on an Orchard Rd exploration trip during the weekend.
Ion Orchard is da bomb please.
as much as i'm no longer crazy about LV,
just being in the boutique makes me happy!
sadly, the freakin queue was ridiculous.
i ain't no bo-liao-er.
i can't wait for the Prada extension to open its doors!
and Marc Jacobs !

SM's essay is... so urgh.
i might be halfway through,
but i'm not feeling the distinction in this one,
why why oh why.
i need to be inspired.

now will someone get me that $2k+ Miu Miu !!!!
ps: i WILL settle for a small leather item.

kuku

dinner with family friend, from Myanmar.
he asked gongong, "So how did your game, Kuku go?"

he meant, Toto !

things i do on a lazy wednesday

i felt lazy,
i tried to start on my essay... i really did.
but to no avail.
so...


look at that mess.

















so many reds eh.


















pink shades, my favourite.

























OPI bottles arranged according to colors!

















miscellaneous Revlon, Sally Hansen

















mac, elf and estee lauder

of what nots.

oh what a day.
a day full of, changing of plans.

the girls and i were supposed to meet up,
crash hwee's crib,
go for a ride in ali's ride,
and land up at the marina barrage or something.

that was postponed,
and i was contemplating if i should meet markie,
but the weather out there totally stopped me.
so i spent my afternoon,
ogling at Forever 21 and Louis Vuitton online.
oh oh.
and i printed sem 5's timetable!!
that was exciting.
looking forward to year 3.
no really,
i'm not being sarcastic!

evening came,
i kicked into "i need to pack my stuff" gear!
put all semester 4's notes and textbooks aside,
making way for semester 5's.
i cleared my wardrobe, finally.
all this while,
i couldn't bear to part with my once-cld-fit-and-i-thought-i-look-good clothes,
but today, i did.
now my wardrobe has shrunk to a third of its orginal size!
i say.. time to re-stock babayyy.
i also threw away all cosmetics which i gauged to be more than 1 1/2 years old.
super gross.
i need more more more!

popo called to ask if we were meeting for dinner.
so mom & i were supposed to head down to Tampines 1.
gong gong called, and there , cancelled.
so ban mian for dinner, mang guo bing for dessert!

you kiddin me right.

SINGAPORE: She was supposed to check her exam results on an online portal on Friday. But before the student, who is studying for her RMIT University degree through SIM could do that, an email from RMIT stopped her short.

Her results had been held up — along with those of over 2,000 students here — as some RMIT faculty were involved in a strike by the National Tertiary Education Union in Victoria, Australia. Therefore, exam results have been withheld over a dispute on pay and working conditions.
But the delay looks to be a short one, as the university and the union will likely sign a memorandum of understanding on Saturday which will lift the industrial bans in place, including the withholding of the exam results.

An RMIT spokesperson told TODAY that it will be "business as usual" when the agreement is signed — the university will resume the release of results immediately. About five of the university’s modules — mainly in business — were affected.

RMIT students in Australia are not affected, as they have yet to sit for their exams, while graduating students whose results are withheld would also not have been affected as they can apply to the union for exemptions.

An SIM spokesperson said about one—third of the 6,000 students who took RMIT exams in April and May were affected, and RMIT had informed the university that it had been working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. This is the first time in SIM’s 22—year partnership with RMIT where a strike has affected students here.

The 20—year—old business management student received her results for three of the four exams she took. "I was surprised, but I think everything is fine because it sounded like someone is handling it. We were told that our re—enrolment next semester would not be affected," she said.

Other RMIT partners in Singapore told TODAY their students have not been affected by the strike. The Singapore Institute of Commerce — which offers RMIT programmes in engineering — was informed of the situation but were told it would not affect them, said its spokesman.
The strike was also supported by other universities in the state, like Monash and Deakin, but institutions offering their programmes here said they were not aware of it and had not been informed of any impact on students here.

— TODAY

to a place ...

mark's gonna kill me if he knows i'm still awake!
4:48am, i'm so not gonna wake up by 11am !

anyways,
it's been a pretty good week.
first week since the holidays started,
that i actually hung out with my friends.
met sch mates on wed for lunch at Seoul Garden,
i don't remember us talking much!
i think we were all busy cooking and eating, right?!
sucks that it was a short outing,
we have to do something before school starts!

met bhavie for dinner in town,
did a lil' catching up,
more to come!
lucky bitch is gonna cruise round Europe!
i'm damn jealous can!

rahh talking about school,
results out in less than a week.
oh gosh, it's seriously freaking me out!
I pray...

i went jogging today !
yippeee. starting off with one round.
healthy eating is key !
say buhbye McDonalds baby!

morbidness.

i've been farting since i met the boo earlier this evening. so smew-ly.
i felt sick after lunch, could it be that i binged over lunch?
could it be the thought of Org Theory's paper?

i am officially done with semester four.
tests: check.
assignments: check.
exams: check.
results: pending.

this semester, is probably the toughest yet.
or is it not?
four modules, out of three were examinable.
i studied hard, perhaps not hard enough?

every night i'd be fixated on my neatly written stake of notes,
madly attempting to squeeze chucks into my head.
i don't know if i'm feeling relieved that exams are over.
i still feel ... uneasy.

God, i leave my worries to you, and trust you'd bless me with what i deserve.
i do not want to anticipate what my results might be.
but i can't help but thinking bout my OT paper.
i really hope i did enough to get a pass.
it's sad that i might be missing out on distinctions this semester,
but really, i'll be contented to just pass.
this semester has been tough on us all.
images keep flashing in my head,
imagining myself logging onto the portal on June 4th.
i hope i'd be able to present Mom with a good present, she turns 48 come June 6th :)
damn i have to stop brooding over exams.

boyfriend is turning 28 soon.
felt like just yesterday when we started dating :)
he was 24, I was 18.
it's been a long ride.
long and pleasant one.

i can't help it but i admit.
i'm pretty temperamental.
i don't know if it's my desperate attempt for boyfriend's attention,
when we're not physically together,
or that i just wanna test his patience.
either way,
i feel blessed that his tolerance level is like, wayyy up there.

gong gong & po po have decided to go on their annual trip to the states.
i was part of the plan,
till the Swine came along.
mom has all reasons to get paranoid.
of all times, why now?
i hope my grandfolks will be safe though.
next time i guess.

i'm turning 22 soon.
oh my word.
wait, what?!
did i say 22?
you gotta be kidding.
kid you not.

gayness.

i'm sure you've already heard about the Miss California - Perez Hilton's controversy.
America has gotta cut her some slack!
everyone's entitled to their own opinions,
she merely stated her stand, and her beliefs,
basically what's morally right, in the eyes of society.
hmm judging from the reactions, maybe not.
if everyone's disagreeing with her,
why is it that only 4 outta 48 states have legalised gay marriages?

and i really don't understand why the Queen of all paparazzi is a judge Miss USA.
it's kinda degrading the pageant brand.
