week 8 is over. (i'm not allowed to call it a break since it didn't feel like one to any of the SMUggers.) jam-packed with meetings, meetings and meetings. ok. wasn't thaaaaaaaat bad as i thought it wld be. got to hang out with friends and clear the constantly never-fulfilled appts.

cleared the lunch appt with sen at an italian restaurant. it was fun to just sit around and chat and simply just catch up with one another. and i was grinning at the desserts. ahahaha. sugar rush from the strawberry gelatin-like thing. managed to do the oktobeerfest with dc, cy, yw and steph at paulaner's at millenia walk. dinner and drinks and i finally tried the dark lager. dt and sherina joined us earlier but they left for a party after that. our impromptu-ness and cy's flirting with the ticketing auntie at EW suntec got us watching deuce bigalow, european gigalow. my brain rotted in the cinema. not a fan of crude slapstick really. and i felt that the first one was better. less "trying-too-hard-to-be-funny".

the the amazing 6 hour ktv. muahahahaha. it was supposed to be a big grp judging from the first email. then it shrunk to cy, dom, jt and i on the day itself. after abt 3.5 hrs, dom left. i've never sung so many chinese songs in one day. it was actually fun. (cheers to jt who did an amazing "you better not come home"!) i was just drained after that.

i'm ecstatic. roy from osl called me and told me that i got that gym assistant position. $10 an hr, 4hrs each time... if i work on friday, sat and sun, it's $120 a week! and i'm in the gym! wahahaha. one of the few dream jobs that i finally fulfill (the other is working at a gelato place and getting paid in cash and gelato..) wahahaha.. and i've been receiving positive feedback on funday after it ended. even though this little party pooper spent part of it reading her income tax text and feeling miserable. the sky threatened to rain but it didn't! yay! attendance was better than i expected. at the end of it, ppl were tired but still laughing.. some throwing the disc around.. others trying to avoid jx when he held the softball bat..

this is one baton i've got to pass soon. 3 more semesters and i'm out of SMU already. fun/sportsday how? it's not a "must-do". but it's a nice break from the monotony of studying. and new friends are made each time! will need to handover.. freshies... and now that's sch's back on again, it's return to the 3.9 in the lib once more... i have no social life once again. 7 weeks.. 7 more weeks.
