Workaholic Me- (I lost count of the number! :P)

I was depressed last weekend- not like, I-want-to-die depressed, but more like I-am-not-in-the-mood for anything depressed. As a result, I didn't do any homework or anything during the weekend, I missed my Tae Kwondo classes and so the week started with a back log of my house chores and homework. Not a good way to start a week I tell you!

So on Monday I handed in my SOLT (essay) paper  after a hasty 3 hour research. That reminds me, I have to check Black Board and see if Poosie (My very awesome Health teacher) has uploaded our marks. OMG OMG!!!! I can't believe this!! I got a 10!!! Out of 10!!!! THAT is soooo awesome!!! I am throwing away my laziness  behind, once and for all!!! Al'hamdhulillahi!

Well, my SOLT wouldn't print in the library so I had to ask for an Information Common staff to do it for me, which made me late for Maths class. Sue had already given out our papers from last week. So I had to wait till everyone else was doing their work till Sue gave me my paper.. And guess what? 50/50!!! I was sooo happy! I worked so hard at Maths because Francis Sir, my favourite teacher of all times made us do ALL the questions in the text book while all the other classes were doing just one or two questions from each exercise. Sue gave us a couple of questions from each exercise as well, but since I was so usedto doing all the questions, I did all the questions. But I got only 23.5/25 last time, because I did not simplify a surd (Sue said we weren't studying rationalising the denominator, so I just didn't think of simplifying the answer further!) and that was such a disappointment. But good news, I am back on track, baby!! :D

On Monday, we also did this Mental Assessment kind of thing to determine if we were depressed or not. And I got "extremely depressed" as a result. It was such a surprise! I am usually very very happy! Everyone who knows me would describe me as bubbly and stuff, but there it was, "Extremely Depressed"! It was a wake up call for me! I knew I had to pull myself together and go back to being the happy me! I missed the happy me! The result was, when I went  home on Monday, I was so happpy that I was actually skipping! Yeah, that's right! ;)

On Tuesday we had Chemistry Laboratory. We did Crystallisation and it was so fascinating to watch the very pretty crystals giving out rainbow colours, falling to the bottom of the test tube like snow!

 I was lazy again. I slept for 12 hours straight and ended up not doing the presentation for Health (who am I kidding? I never do Health presentation until the 2 hours break we get before class), but I did not even finish the Chemistry homework. So I woke up at 7 and did my Chemistry homework and went to class.

After Maths, we had Chemistry and Larry gave us our papers back. I got 48/50. It was such a disappointment because the mistakes that cost me my two marks were extremely idiotic!! 

Well, after Chem, I went to the Library with Gloria, who was my Health presentation partner for this week. She had already done her part for the presentation and it was now my turn to add my slides to it. I finished mine at 2.10pm and went to Godfrey Tanner Bar where the Drama Club, Quidditch Society and some other people were holding a Fanfiction Reading where they acted out FanFic scripts.

 It was so much fun! But in the middle of it, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate Shortland Building. Such a pity! 

When I finally went to Health afterwards, there was something wrong with my thumb drive so my slides were not visible. Gloria presented her slides which she had a backup of in her thumb drive and I just blurted out the facts real quickly since I had no slides to show. *Sigh*

Wednesday night was super awesome! There was this Toga Party  and I did not know how to make a Toga out of my bedsheet. But I wrapped it around somehow and when I put on a belt, it didn't look too bad ;) The oh-so-sweet Liv helped me secure the Toga and she drove me to Bar on The Hill. 

There I had to wait in line for almost half an hour because the place was so packed! Apparently it was because Nina Las Vegas was the DJ.

While I was waiting in line, Felicie came up to me with a guy. She introduced us. He was from Liberia and was doing Bachelor of Science. So we waited in line together. After sometime, felicie got tired of waiting and she left. So it was just me and the guy. But we had so much fun! The DJ was soo awesome that you couldn't just stay still!! And he had some cool moves! We danced and danced and danced till our feet hurt! It was finally 12am when we stopped. But by then, the shuttle bus had stopped operating and I was literally stranded! But this guy, he was so sweet- he found a cab for me and gave me some money before rushing off to catch his bus into town. I didn't even check how much he gave me until I had to pay the cabbie. I gave the note and asked him if it was enough and he told me it was a 50! I knew I had to find the guy and give him back the rest of the money! But so far I haven't found him yet! 

Well, on Thursday, we had Health lecture on Depression and a little bit of Maths and an English test which was all about Grammar and I hadn't practised at all! I know it would be a total disaster! But no point in crying over spilled milk, so I am not going to! 

Thursday night I had this extremely severe pain in my hands which later radiated to my arms. I had to washdown 3 Panamax with water before I could finally fall asleep. I went to the Uni Health Services on Friday morning to see a doctor, as the nurse I called the night before has advised me to. I was there for so long that I missed my IT class- one of my favourite classes because Sandra always lets us get online from Facebook and stuff. We had this Powerpoint Presentation on Friday, so I texted Gloria and asked her to let Sandra know that I couldn't make it because I was at the Doctor's! I was so looking forward to that presentation because i was going to talk about beautiful places tourists MUST visit in Maldives! ;) Well, I guess I have to wait till next Friday.

Also, Thursday turned out to be one of my coolest friends' B'day, although I was under the impression it was Friday ;)

I finished watching Merlin on Friday night! Spoiler alert to those who haven't watched it yet. Arthur died! He frikking died! I cried, because it was just too sad! :(

So the whole of Saturday I spent watching Penn 1600 which is a comedy about the First Family. It is such an awesome series, and the airing date of the 13th episode of Season 1 was March 2013. I do hope they continue it, but it looked like it had ended- the ending was happy!

Then I started watching 2 Broke Girls, which is another hilarious series about 2 poor girls (one was a rich-turned-poor-recently girl) trying to make ends meet and they have big dreams of a cupcake company! 

I also succeeded 1/3 in cleaning my laptop and deleting all the unwanted stuff! It is pretty slwo because I don't want to delete any pictures so I had to first upload all the pictures to Facebook before I could delete any of them and my Internet connection was super slow since I watched so many series these days and apparently that "ate the bandwidth" or something! I do not know these IT terms! ;)

Well, that is how my last week went! 

I seriously should start working on my chemistry homework questions and laboratory report, which are due on Tuesday, catch up with the backlog of Maths homework, study for the Health exam on Wednesday, read my English article and catch up on my house chores and grocery shopping! Phew! So much to do and so little time! I must away! 

Toodles! Everyone take care and be safe! Keep smiling! xD

YourSingapore Day 4 (Cont)

So after having lunch at the Botanical Garden’s restaurant, and buying a sandal from the souvenir shop (my shoes were killing me! They definitely weren’t made for walking long distances!), I went to Vivo City to catch the bus to Sentosa. It was  a fun ride and the view from Sentosa was amazing.  I followed the crowd and ended up at The Universal Studios.

The sign of Universal Studios (you know, the one with the globe on it!) was amplified a 100 times and it was at the entrance of the place. The whole place was amazing!

First, I went in through the gates and I began to search for Transformers ride, because that was the one Iko recommended me.  I got a few maps of the place from a friendly girl at Madagascar. The map that I opened was so confusing that I had to ask for directions. I followed the directions and ended up in a looooooong looooooong queue. It was so long that I couldn’t even see the front from where I was. The queue was moving so slowly. It was almost half an hour before I entered the “Transformers lair”. There were all these cool symbols that appear in the movie.

The walls were lined with TVs- some were broadcasting breaking news that the villains had attacked the lair, others were calling for new recruits and some others had the General addressing the new recruits. There were blinking lights all the way, and all sorts of stuff that you would see in an actual lair of robots. It was so real like. After almost an hour in the slow moving queue, I finally arrived at the place. There were car-like structures (you know the ones you sit in during roller-coaster rides?) and we had to leave all our bags and even sandals because this was to be one helluva coaster ride!

I finally got on it and we were given 3D glasses.
Then it started! It was totally out of this world! The villains attacking seemed so real, and sometimes it seemed liked we were flying upwards so fast and at other times we were diving so suddenly that I almost forgot it was a simulation! There was a villain on our tails and our car was diving so deeply that I actually hung on to the rails for dear life!

It was so terrifying yet so exciting! And then this huge explosion sent us rolling and spinning and there was destruction everywhere when it finally stopped. It was so real-like!  When it finally stopped, I just had the most fun in my life! :D The one hour wait in the queue was totally worth it! :D
I exited to the Transformers Souvenir shop. I headed out of there and saw a huge 3D version of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime from Transformers. I took a picture with each one of them!

Next was Battlestar Galactica. I had heard of it, but I didn’t watch it until much later so I didn’t actually know how Humans and Cylons differed. But I figured Cylons must be some kind of robots. I met a French or German boy (I don’t exactly remember which) with his father there. Apparently they visited Singapore every year, just to visit Universal Studios. They recommended that I take the Humans one first since I had never been on a roller coaster ride before in my life!

When we started to climb higher and higher, I could barely open my eyes because the wind was so strong. The closest I’ve come to that feeling was when I rode the motorbike really really fast. But even that was nowhere close to this! Again, it was so terrifying but exciting! :D

At the end I almost felt dizzy, but the boy asked me to try the Cylons one next. I was so pumped up with adrenaline that I ran after him.  We took the Cylon ride and it was crazier than the one before,  and I didn’t think that crazier than the Human roller coaster was even possible! It went round and round and round so fast, it climbed soooo high that we could see almost half of the entire place and then it dropped down so fast that I thought my seat belt would unbuckle. It even went upside down and that was freaky, I tell you!

I grabbed a bite after the crazy coaster ride and then visited the Mummy.  The entrance was amazing. There were around  4storey high stone carvings of ancient Egypt like people. Everything was so ancient and Egyptian-like, it felt like I had stepped back in time!

After going through what felt like an ancient cave system which very much resembled a maze, there was a freaky roller coaster ride again, this time with the theme Curse of the Mummy and the mummy threw us into complete darkness that I couldn’t even see my own hands infront of me. Then a brilliant fire rose out of nowhere and I could actually feel the heat as we were drawn in to the inevitable flames! I came out of there a bit shaken!

Then it was the slow ride back in time. There was this absolutely ancient carriage that even squeaked! It took us on a ride, a very very slow ride when compared with all the roller coaster rides that I had been on! The ride showed us many aspects of ancient life, very much like the life shown in Merlin, I later realized! The way people worked before, the ancient equipment they used and all sorts of fun stuff! There were even snakes that hissed and crocodiles that opened their mouths! It was interesting as well!

Let me leave you at the gates of Jurassic Park! See you next  Monday! Don't get eaten by a dinosaur though~! :D

Cheers!
