I REALLY REALLY HATE THE SCHOOL NETWORK!!! Now I cannot commit my files into CVS. GRRR!!! Which means tomorrow I'll have to go sch in the day and restart my machine and continue to do my work. What is wrong with NUS network? Shouldn't they do more to make sure that the network doesn't crash so that we can produce good papers for them? It was up the whole day, then now crash. It's been up and down the whole damn week. I feel so irritated. >_<

Ate so much today. Everyone seems to enjoy fattening me up. Peiying came over after her work and brought me chocolates, and also to play with cute little Weiwei. Then Ming popped by to give me 2 tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice cream 'cos he knows how much I like them. And then my mum came back from NTUC with another tub of Ben and Jerry's for me, together with Ruffles chips and roasted chestnuts (what we call 'gao lak' hehe). I feel loved all of a sudden. Oh right and FAT. Luckily I've been working out and climbing stairs. :P

Time really flies. I have to start doing my Advanced Networks assignment already, since everyone's supposed to pair up and I requested to do the project alone. Haha like very 'gei kiang' right. But when I work alone I actually finish things faster. I just need some motivation! I used to be so motivated. Whatever has happened to me? :( It's also about time I started studying my QE. 6 topics in all. Deadlines deadlines. Sigh maybe I'm not so brilliantly smart like how I make myself out to be. Sheesh.

Things To Do
Finish up C code. (I seriously need to put my heart into it. Been too distracted.)
Start writing the paper for submission on 2 Nov.
CS5229 assignment (due 5 Oct).
Study for QE.

I wish I could quit being whiny about work, but I'm seriously quite sick of having no life. Everything about me is about work. Oh hey, in 4 days' time, it'd be officially 2 months since I last indulged on my stipend. When was the last time I actually splurged on clothes and accessories? I miss that 'who cares that I have no time' feeling. Now I really do care. Never mind la. I shall save up. I shall celebrate very hard if I pass my QE. Like fly to Gold Coast to enjoy their summer and sun tan in my new bikini, and ride the roller coasters in their theme parks. Hehe yeah I'm still a little girl inside. Or maybe go to the US again. New York City or something, or go relearn snowboarding. Ahhh I shall stop fantasising and go sleep soon. All I can do for now is to dream about being happy. I miss true happiness...

So unfair! Ming gets treated to a buffet lunch and I'm stuck here starving myself. :\ Nothing to eat around school really. I would've brought my lunch but I didn't think I'd be hungry today heh. Moreover the freshmen are having their matriculation week fun, so everywhere's crowded. Feel like sushi and Swensons. Thanks to Ming, he showed me the new Swensons menu, which is making me crave for food. Grr... Even the new salads seem tempting. I need food...

Thinking of getting a haircut. My curly ends are becoming straighter, so that leaves me with 2 options. Either chop off all the curly parts and don a short bob, or curl again. ORRR... Leave it longer and then chop off the curly ends. The third option isn't very helpful, 'cos I don't like my hair now. It's super long by the way. Short hair for me... Hmm I've always chickened out the last minute. It'll be nice for a change though. But I've had long hair for so damn long! Furthermore Ming prefers long hair, and I've forgotten how I look with short hair. Thought of getting Victoria Beckham's hairstyle, except not so short. Curling my hair will cost me lotsa $$$ again. Feeling cheapskate these days. Damn... Dilemma...

So much stuff to do. Really stressed up this week. Furthermore Ben's HYP student isn't responding to me, so I can't get his graphs. Now I'll have to do his part too. Yeah now I'm a rookie when it comes to PlanetLab, Perl scripts and gnuplot. Not perfected, but will get there soon enough at the rate things are going. Have to finish a paper review by this Friday, barely started. 24 freaking pages!

To Do List (by this Friday)
Paper Review
Experiments/Graphs

For today, I'll have to update the minutes of today's meeting. Need...Sleep...

Yummm... Pure rich chocolate cakes + chocolate cheesecakes! I baked them yesterday because I needed to use up my ingredients. These shall be my meal for the entire day. :P (MING DON'T KILL ME!) Gave some to Ming too, but he hasn't tried them yet. The density of chocolate is enough to fill me up for the entire day anyway. *burp*

So I didn't go to school today, 'cos I guess I'd rather work at home. Foot still hurts a little anyway, even though it's been a week! Bleah... Guess I shall continue with my work. Have a great day ppls!

Just baked a white cake, going to make it into a raspberry swirl cake topped with white chocolate ganache. In my oven now lies one batch of cheesecake brownies, still baking at 350 degree F. Since I am so so so healthy, I used only egg whites in my white cake, so now I have 3 spare egg yolks, that I'd probably use for cookies. Or if my mum gets to them first, she'll cook up something yummy with them. I just saw the expiration date on my unopened dark corn syrup: 16/7/07. WHAT??? Now I have to bake 10 whole pecan pies to use them, except that I don't have enough eggs. -.- Maybe not 10 la. 4 pecan pies should be enough to finish the corn syrup. But then again I still need 12 eggs. And more pecans.

What am I rambling about at 6am on a Saturday morning? I slept at 1am, only to toss and turn on my bed. I think I was subconscious the whole time until I finally got up at 4am. I've been sleeping so little! I'm surprised it doesn't show much on my face. See my previous entry? I slept at around 5am, and woke up at 8.30am on Friday. Then I did my workout, and was out the whole day.

Yesterday I left home around 11am and went to Tanjong Pagar to look for Ming to accompany him for lunch. Apparently I made him miss his big fat lunch at Amara Hotel. :( But he said he prefers my company at BK. So yeay. But he made me eat a Hershey's Sundae Pie when I'm supposed to lose weight! Oh well, thankfully I burned everything by shopping the entire noon. Got for myself a dress, a jacket, a halter top, another top, a pearl bracelet and a pair of white wedge shoes. Met Ming again after his work for dinner, and we went for KTV till night time. Just the 2 of us. Sang a whole array of songs, mostly Mandarin, then English. I even sang Cantonese and Hokkien la. Who says my Chinese isn't good... Bleah.

Going to meet him again today 'cos it's the weekend! But don't know what to do yet. Ok time to check on my brownies!
