Huge Sigh Of Relief

There's no better description than "Oh my God" (P.s. Sorry God!).

Today is the final submission of my Software Engineering project. Oh man, I think I've never experienced a more excruciating project (like crucio in Harry Potter! Argh!) experience… but to be honest, also some extent of fun lah. Plus I was really happy cos everyone of us had a part to play in the project, it was collectively ours! =)

Anyway, we stayed over in Daryl’s house to do this project so many times that I lost count. I’m so familiar with his house that I think it has become my third home (after my true home and hostel). But of course we did have fun lah. Haha like pouring powder over Steven’s head and specs. HAha. And yesterday they also played a prank on me by exchanging my precious pillow with Daryl’s one. But I couldn’t tell which was mine! Hahaha, until I smelt it. Haha. Oh well.

But seriously, last week was the most packed week I ever ever had. I had:
- Human factors presentation
- Human factors project completion
- Engin professionalism presentation
- Software engineering project submission
- Probability quiz
- Probability homework submission
- Quality engineering quiz
- Gem Paper 2 Submission
- Yvonne’s 21st birthday party (on 8th April)
- Ching Yin’s 21st birthday party (on 9th April)

I suffered through the school work lah, haha but I enjoyed myself at the parties. Each had its own flavor.

Yvonne’s one was a BBQ and I know so many of her friends so it was more like being with a family of friends. And her cake was a cookies and cream ice cream cake! Haha, although only a small piece, but very yummy!

Ching Yin’s one was held at her home. Hers was more high class…with music and candle lights. So I had to be more well behaved. Haha. And I think my gang (i.e. the happy12) was the most piggish. Haha... we ate alot! The food was great. Haha.

April's Fool

I've concluded that I'm extremely gullible... haha I kena cheated by Yvonne and Melissa. Haha.

what staying in hall has taught me

Definition Hall
a hostel with lotsa activities.

Today I was just reflecting on what I've gathered along the way during my stay here in hall... this is roughly what crossed my mind:

1. I learnt how to wash my clothes using the washing machine (courtesy of Yan Ying and Li Shan)
2. I learnt how to eat food that's not fantastic and convince myself that it's quite ok
3. I learnt how to eat very little or simply no rice (courtesy of Ching Yin and Pearl)
4. I learnt how to get rid of a small lizard (absolutely horrifying experience since I hate/detest/loath/abhor/you-get-the-idea lizards)
5. I learnt how to get rid of beetles (courtesy of Pin Xiu)
6. I realised that I can survive with lousy toilets as long as there's hot water
7. I realised that I drink alot of water... like more than 2.5 litres a day
8. I realised that I love fruits
9. I realised that Old Chang Kee and New Zealand Ice Cream are dangerous forces
10. I realised that I love swimming more than running, although I do still like running
11. My eyebag and dark eyerings are becoming more obvious... seems linearly distributed witht the amount of time I spend in hall... (but may be cos of NUS rather than hall)
12. And... it taught me independence and how important my family is to me.
