Deja Vu

a little lesson learnt today- Never overestimate my time management abilities.

I'm a stubborn person who always likes to squeeze my appointments and plans into a tight schedule, leaving hardly room for hiccups or delays. Today i had FRS from 9-12. PBL was set at 3.was supposed to go to the gym in between lessons, BUT i decided that i could go to the bank before going to the gym, and after the gym i REALISED i had to go to the Study Lanscape to print my PBL notes.at 210, i finished my work out. by the time i bathed, it was 240. ran to school-245. 15 min to print my notes, that was okay. However, so unfortunately, alfred's thumb drive was too big to fit into the pathetic USB port that was behind the com. i had to crawl underneath the desk to find the port, but still failed to print my notes. in the end, i sat through "feedback" with no notes and contributed everything from memory.
good because it was a test of my understanding.
bad because i'm a perfectionist and not having my neat computer typed notes in front of me and failure to fulfil my schedule=sub-standard. Im not happy:(

im in the learning mood. feel like reading non-stop and putting on my thinking cap to understand everything. however,i think im partly suffering from "kiasu-ism", im paranoid that i dunno enough!!! what a shame...

besides that, the weekend was great. cell group was good! everybody loved my lemon butter cake!-thank yew hannah for ur help-*bows* Im gonna make some for my mommy when i return for christmas! she'll be so happy!
the stay over at jean's place was tiring but fun.. we talked till 4am! and woke up at 12 on saturday. headed down to town, and my.. shopping here is SOOOOOOoooo fabulous!!!! the ZARA is 4 storeys big and so is topshop. zara has taken over mango as my favourite, cause it's just so good. so many nicer clothes and the variety is huge.. and Frasers is just awesome.. a mini Harrods, but less high-end. everything is so pretty! but of course.. expensive. i shall not get hooked onto the shopping bug. it's an evil bug. daddy will be so disappointed in me.. -shall wait for the boxing day sale-

school's fine.. still on blood related stuff. wanna start this week well, doing good work and meeting my schedules. and none the less, give God the best part of my day. and when sunday comes again, I'll be a happy girl at Church:)packed weekend, with Rasti's (my roommate) birthday, year 1 potluck and church.. hmm so i gotta work hard for the next few days.

was a bit sad this evening.cause im starting to cough badly, like a TB patient. -hope its not the winter flu- and i was so tired too. You know how it is like when its cold and grey and ure walking home alone. the thought of having to cook despite all ur fatigue made me feel like a sad person. its such a chore to do so, yet you must. cause your food will expire and it will all go to waste. and its like throwing money into the drain too. so i felt quite sad.. i wished then if someone could do all these for me-cooking and laundry and groceries.. but i guess, this is life now. i think it was more of self-pity then. well,at least, my smoked salmon pasta tasted good, so no regrets! Thank You God.
