When's mummy away

Oh well,

Mum's away since Monday. She went to help my aunt in Malaysia who just gave birth to a baby boy. And because I'm on sch hols now, the last few days I took over Mummy's role and got myself busy with all the cooking and housework.

The first day was fried kangkong, egg, sweet and sour fishball and rice.
The second day with help from daddy, sambal goreng and rendang
The third day was chicken rice
And today was fried rice

Still left tmr and sunday before mummy comes back. I swear I'm running out of ideas. Probably pasta or spaghetti for tmr. So boring. Lol. I don't ever think I want to be a housewife because other than cooking and all the cleaning there isn't really anything to do. And it's really frustrating when you clean the house nice nice, then there's your siblings who never lend a hand in household chores but just makes a mess out of everything. Irritate the living hell out of me.

Oh well, timetable's out and it's an 8.30am class and ends ard 6.30pm everyday. Hall application is out and oh well, it's unsuccessful. Bad news is I stay in Tampines so that means 2 hrs ride which means I have to wake up 5.30 everyday. I think I will die of exhaustion. And so all the obstacles coming one by one trying to dampen my spirit. I will not give in to this. I shall see how I can tweak my timetable to suit my capability. Oh well, I just need to endure another 2.5 years. It will pass in a flash, I know it will and before I know it, I'll start missing it. So I've got to learn to treasure what I have. =)

Bitter Sweet

I kept staring at the page and keep refreshing to see if my eyes was playing tricks on me. I was expecting a big red warning at the top of the page stating " You have received an Acadamic Warning" but no, there wasn't. Surprised, I scrolled down further to look at my grades.

Sweet. I never expected to get 2 A's especially for the CPE201. Neither do I expect to pass CPE106(Maths). I'm more than elated, estatic or over-whelmed to be exact. If then in poly, my exam transcript was filled with all the A's, B's and gpa of 3.7, now in Uni it's all the C's, D's with unexpected A's and gpa of 2.67. Although my results pales beyond comparison with my then wonderful results in poly, the sastisfaction I get now is sweeter. Probably because I knew that I worked my ass off just to pass. Probably because I knew I did it all by myself. Probably because my results improved slightly. And probably because I knew I enjoyed this semester more than last sem. And probably because with lower expectations, the sastifaction you get will be greater.

I guess being alone in classes wasn't that bad after all. In fact I gained a lot more. And I still haven't got over that fact that I got an A for CPE201 and a pass for Maths. Syukor.

Yes Tiger, we sure are getting a hang of this.
