Tina Turner-Proud Mary

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we?re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we?re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don?t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Miss Congeniality 2 was fab! though some sequels totally suck, Miss Congeniality is definitely an exception. Just got the VCD of Speed 2: Cruise Control too. watched it last night. It's much better than Speed IMO. Too bad there's no more Keanu Reeves.. Gotta go over to the firm soon. gonna hand up my timesheet.

woo hoo... An SA student won the Angus Ross prize!! haha.. bet Mrs Lim must be so proud. Way to go Candice! :P Now, it was mentioned in the papers that she was a div student.Now ppl will know that div is actually a subject. mdm chan must be grinning from ear to ear right now.

Hey 03A31 peeps, we shd get together one day & have a party ya? We've been talking abt it for a long time, but nothing seems to have been done. Where's our welfare rep?? :)

I wanna go back to SA!! miss it loads.. too bad Esther's stuck in bible sch till 1pm. gr.... i want to buy the SA jacket. i can't believe i actually studied there for 2 years & i didn't even buy it! See what procrastination gets you? haha..

well well.. i've officially tendered my resignation. Last day of work will be next wed. Feel both glad & sad at the same time. I sure will miss that place. Tomorrow's Gilbert's last day at the firm.... then i've to face HER for the next 3 days. I was so glad when SHE was out of the office for a good part of the day today. At least i can breathe more easily & not feel as though someone is watching my every move.

SMU's Acct interview's finally over! i wandered ard half of SMU before i finally reached my destination. I cabbed down from Newton MRT station cause the buses weren't coming & i was worried that i may be late. So, i reached SMU at ard 9.30a.m(interview's at 10am). after stepping out of the Oei Tiong Ham building, i turned left cause the Acct block is supposed to be there(according to the map). But.. guess what? i couldn't find it! So i asked this cleaning auntie where the Acct building was. She pointed me in the opposite direction! I was kinda disbelieving cause i know that my map reading skills aren't that bad, but I decided to take her word for it. After all, she cleans up the place so i guess she should know where the diff schools are located. Well, it was a bad move. When i got to the other end, there was no sign of the Acct building. Only a cafe was in sight. I finally managed to get a student to tell me specific directions on how to get to the Acct building. And guess what? I was right in the first place! So, i had to walk(or rather, run) back to where i came from. Before you start thinking that my troubles are over, let me tell u that it's not! I couldn't find the lift at all! All i saw was a stairwell & a door which looks like it can only be opened with some secret password. So i started climbing the stairs. I was halfway up when i realised that it's quite dumb to climb all the way to the 10th floor. And even then, i don't even know if i can get in. So i went back down again & finally managed to find a prof to guide me to the lift. And guess where was the lift located??? Through the door which i saw at the start! Why must SMU hide their lifts?? Guess they're trying too hard to be different. They should just place their lifts in an open area where ppl can see it, and not hide it behind closed doors! Also, the sign that reads "Accountancy" was so small that i almost missed it! It was only the size of an A4 piece of paper!

Ok, that being said & done, the interview & essay was ok...i guess. The dean of acct interviewed me together with another guy. She was pretty friendly. Most of the qns were standard. But i thought they would ask me some funny qns like "Why is the sky blue?" etc.. cause i heard from my seniors that they had gotten this qns when they went 4 their interviews. The outcome will be known in 2-3 weeks.. Wonder if i'll get in.....

i feel so conflicted right now. i really don't know which uni to go to. i thought i knew right from the start, but when faced with so many choices, it really gets very overwhelming. All the unis have their pros & cons, which makes it even harder for me to decide. the thing abt choosing NTU is that its super far away. travelling there from my house will take at least 1 & a half hours. But, it only takes 3 yrs to get my degree(with honours) there. On the other hand, even though SMU is much nearer, it'll take me 4 year to get my degree(with honours). Also, the fees @ SMU is $550 more than NTU. If i do go to NTU, i'll probably have to stay in the hostel. If i add up my hostel & misc expenses, it'll probably come up to the same amt i'ld have to pay if i go to SMU. The hostel @ NTU doesn't look that fantastic, in fact, it is no where comparable to NUS. meals aren't provided, which means that i'll have to spend more on food. but if i don't stay in a hostel during my uni life, i'll feel as if i'm missing out on something. After all, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Once i graduate, i won't have the chance to do that again. The closest i can get to staying in a hostel would probably be in a hotel. Argh...... i hate making decisions. But, i guess it's probably better to have more choices than to have none at all.

Work has been pretty sucky lately. got told off by my female boss for something which wasn't even my fault in the first place. i really think she should get her facts straight before pointing fingers at ppl. My other colleagues are nice. I'm planning to leave soon. My 2 other bosses are gonna leave the firm as well. So, i'll be left to face Her & her nonsense when they leave. It's getting untolerable & totally ridiculous. I just pray that i'll be able to get the airport job & i'll be able to quit. :) The time spent at the firm was pretty useful in the sense that i managed to pick up quite a bit. If my 2 bosses weren't leaving, i'll probably stay until June. But, i guess it's better for me to try other jobs be4 i enter uni. Anyway, the airport is so much nearer my house, which means that i'll be able to wake up later. I think it shd be more fun & interesting than my present job cause i'll be able to meet ppl from ard the world. :P I've wanted to work at the airport for a long time, so if the chance comes, i'm gonna grab it!

I feel better now. Pouring out all my thoughts here is pretty cathartic. Guess its better than keeping it all inside me. :) Retail therapy next week with Esther & Pam!! can't wait.. :) It's gonna be better than being cooped up in that stuffy old office. I've lots of stuff to buy!!! haha. can't wait man..

I got shortlisted for SMU Acct!

Interview's next tues.

Wish me luck.

NUS Open House

went for the NUS Open House yesterday. wow.. i was really impressed. :) the whole atmosphere there was just so vibrant & happening. I was won over by NUS when i stepped into Sheares Hall. Even Esther, the die-hard SMU freak, is considering coming to NUS now. the ppl @ Sheares r very open & friendly. There's a family-like atmopshere there. It's a feeling which u don't get from other halls. We visited Prince George's Park(PGP) as well. However, the whole place just felt so isolated... Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing instead. Pam,Esther & I will be going for the Sheares Camp in May/June. haha.. can't wait for it. now, all i have to do is to pray hard that NUS Law/Biz Ad accepts me.. :) I'm definitely gonna stay in hall, at least for the 1st year. It's sure to be quite an experience.. If Esther gets in, i hope that she'll be in the same block as me!! haha. then we can be neighbours!!! :)

NTU Open House

i don't really like the school at all.. it gave me a bad impression right from the start. shan't really elaborate lest i infurate some NTU ppl who happen to stumble in here by chance. But... all i have to say is this. NUS is way way better than NTU. :)

well well.. received my A level results. they weren't that bad... still gonna try for law,acct & biz ad.just wanna thank God(most impt) for bringing me through the exams,my lit teachers(for helping me during that crucial last mth) & mdm chan(for marking all my essays).. If i do( by any chance) get into NTU, i'll probably have to stay in the hostel there. the travelling time is really too long for me. i'm recovering from my fever right now.. really feel bored at home. i wanna go shopping!!! & esther owes me a buffet treat!! haha :) my weekend is completely full next week! NUS Open house on sat & NTU's on sun!! what a busy busy life i lead. :)

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive if you have faith.
-Matthew 21:22

i'm stuck at home now.. it's raining & i'm sick. what a perfect combination. i stayed in the office till 8.40p.m yesterday cause there were plenty of memo cheques to do. i was one of the last to leave! i've never stayed back so late before.. not even at dbs! and when i reached home, i had a high fever. :( went to see the doctor today & he said that it's quite bad. my temperature was 39.2!! and to think i have to collect my results tomorrow! i'll have to be exposed to the elements. must really pray hard that i'll get well before tomorrow. sheesh... i can't believe that it's really happening.. it seems like only yesterday when i took my A Levels. really really hope that i'll do well. same goes for all my friends.. :)

guess i'll see u guys in the sch hall tomorrow.. good luck!! :)

Selena-Dreaming Of You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...
