for PID last sat, I forgot bowlby = attachment and Gardner = multiple intelligence. then I spent so much time thinking of what to write for my first essay qn and eventually wrote whatever I could think of, and ended up with insufficient time to complete my second question. while submitting my paper, I remembered there's going to be negative marking for the essay section. woe to me. then for atypical development today, we were given a 60 mark question in the form of a case study. it was so difficult to put everything together and come to an appropriate diagnosis, or even conclude whether she is suffering from any language difficulties or disabilities, I have absolutely no idea if what I wrote warrants me the bulk of the marks. in any case, I'm done with two papers, and after tomorrow I'd be left with just one! (: alrights! I had better be sleeping now, before my little brain stops working in the midst of some mathematical calculation tmr. stats in the morning and structure/meaning of sentences in the evening, wish me luck! (: FIGHTING! oyasumi (: *p.s: 6 dec is drawing really close!! Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

ALL THE BEST TO ME! for now, i'm going to catch 2 hours of sleep to let the information settle. brain oh brain, please work your magic from 9am today! Believe in what you feel inside And give your dreams the wings to fly You have everything you need If you just believe

i admit. in ways more than one, i'm still pampered at this age.
last night i was trying really hard to study, when this little cockroach (which isn't small enough to be called a baby cockroach, but not big enough to be called a cockroach) flew past me and totally distracted my gaze from my text. with my parents both asleep, i seeked help from my brother, who reluctantly (hehe) left behind his game of dota to be the cockroach buster.
but that wasn't the end. he failed! his reasons? "eh, it jumps! EH, IT FLIES!" HAHA, i do love my brother. but seriously, he lost the little cockroach, and it disappeared into the corners of my room. BOO. so my brother shrugged his shoulders and told me to call him if it appeared again, resuming his game of dota.
with half my mind still thinking of that little brown bug, i attempted to get back to my books, but that little thing reappeared! rawr, it just wouldn't let me study in peace! so i called my good ol brother again, and well, everything repeated, he tried, it flew, and it disappeared.
then, my daddy appeared (oh dear i think he got woken up by the commotion ):) upon knowledge of this little cockroach that was disturbing his daughter, my daddy went into his room, took his pillow and bolster, and came back to my room to sleep, so i got to sleep with my mummy on the big bed, away from the little brown bug, for one night (:
as for my studying, it was totally distracted from, so i decided to have a good night's rest.
i love my family <3
*P.S: my dad tried to find the insect the next morning but it somehow vanished. THEN I SAW IT AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON ): it refuses to leave me alone. boo.
i think it's residing in a small dark corner of my room, i'm so sad, my room isn't dirty! )):

after a long long craving, i finally got this!   steaming hot, soupilicious xlb!! <3 <3 absolutely adore them (: 6 December is wayyy too far away, and i was craving xlb so bad i actually dreamt of them! (this is so embarrassing i know) i sound so greedy, but i just had to get my hands on some of my fav crystal jade xlb! hee :p so a few days back, i dragged zm down to have crystal jade lamian xlb with me! ((: yay <3 but other than satisfying my xlb hunger, we were such gluttons that polished off everything you're going to see below:    the noodles were so good! although they looked kinda plain, they were really fragrant! and because we missed pgp's la zi ji, we decided to order it when we saw it in the menu. then, i recalled some hungrygowhere post that said the hong you chao shou was a must-try so i decided to order it too! but... after complaining about being extremely full, i wasn't satisfied until i ordered my favourite dessert while the bf gave a look of disbelief/disgust. teehee ((:
as if those weren't enough, we went walking around and settled down in a cafe to have this:
not starbucks/coffeebean. yakun/ toastbox - our type of coffee <3
and then, to end our trip off, i insisted on having something chocolatey. after which, i spotted this familiar signboard, which means:

ah, perfect end to our day of the quest for xlb (: which also means - more 'nutrition' for our growing bellies. oh dear =x self control, anyone?
no matter what, dear xlb, come 6 Dec, we will reunite!

on a wet, cold and gloomy day, this is just what i need (: and yes, you know it, a bowl of hot kimchi soup beats any posh restaurant <3
i'm still craving for my toffee-nut latte, and XLB come quickly please.
today saw the last day of school for my 1st semester as a year 3, and yet again we lament on how time passes us by. and on this last day, i've learnt a painful lesson.
it's not about complaining, pushing the blame to the class structure, thinking you're just unlucky to get yours graded by the prof himself, nor telling yourself you just don't like this, i need, to take responsibility.
i didn't cover my research thoroughly enough, and for someone who is so well-versed with the literature, the errors are just so salient they can't be ignored. 50%, learn, accept, and now, WORK.
it may just be a rut, but i'm not giving up.
and for this sem, there are a few people/things i really must be thankful for:
1. my fruit family - patty, sanjie, kli, jazzy (: i'm glad i got to meet you people more, and for accepting all my flaws & absence, thank you.
2. jurie row sadly ritchell couldn't be with us, but dear julie, thank you for all your advice as a senior, and for being the awesomest fellow EL classmate (:
3. lau ying a new found friend, who's tided me over random 1-hr breaks on friday evenings, making what i dislike a lot more bearable (:
4. cooperative groupmates for the many many projects and reports, thank goodness i had great people to work with. and yes, that includes you, zhijun (:
5. everyone who wished me happy birthday, & spent my birthday with me just because it really meant alot to me, and it happened within this semester, thank you (:
6. my dslite & new ipod touch that kept me entertained when i didn't feel like doing work, keeping me happy (:
7. my ever supportive family <3
and
8. my ever-loving boyfriend (: thank you.
 taken day 30, michigan'09 - outside 1021 east uni.
i will, take this lesson and move forward.
today, 13th november, also marks the birthday of my treasured red-half (:
so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MABES, i hope you enjoyed our little surprise <3
tomorrow will be KIDDY DAY for JURIE ROW! it's time to get back in touch with our childhood innocence (:

for personality psych tutorial the other day, we were tasked with thinking of personal examples of classical conditioning. and while chatting with my classmate, we came up with examples based on each others' stories. application at work (: my unconditioned stimulus - toffee nut latte, producing an unconditioned response of joy (: since the status of Christmas as a neutral stimulus isn't definite, another classmate suggested the labeling of the starbucks red christmas cup as my conditioned stimulus. in any case, the point is this: Christmas is nearing, and yes, that means toffee nut latte is back in starbucks stores!! ((: an end to my year-long wait, YAY! I love this drink, love the warm and toasty feeling (: I can't wait for wednesday (: my sister's keeper, good food, and hopefully, toffee nut! by the way, seeing patty's post on her craving for macarons activated mine too. arh mel, how I miss Laduree's. sweets, friends? in other news, the family is going to taiwan 13-19 dec! ((: it's mum's wish, and I'm glad it will be coming true soon! well, despite all the upcoming excitement, what lies before that are the final exams! it's time for more focus, and alot more motivation. believe, and fight!
