To finish reading the books I've always wanted to read but never got the time to.
To play the piano pieces I like but have been too lazy to start on them.
To accept the fact that I'm going to be a college student.
To learn how to live by myself and manage my expenses.
But there's no time left.
I just realized that I won't get to eat 大闸蟹 for the next 5-6 years! Hahaha, I know that completely ruins the serious tone of this entry. It's just a random thought that came to me just now... But it's making me think about whether I'm really prepared.
I got freaked out after reading yali's music report thingy and read his blog entries about the stuff he learnt in psy class. I think I've forgotten how to be a student! What if I don't understand the lectures and fail the tests? What if I can't maintain a good GPA? What if I really worked hard but is still too dumb to get good grades?
Okay whatever. 'What if' questions suck.
So apparently the school will be sending us our IB Diploma certificates soon, then what the hell is going on with our english papers that were supposed to be re-marked?! Why are they so slow?! WHY!?
I know I know, IB's not important anymore. But I'm kan cheong about it cause if they lift my grade then I don't need to take my literature course! Not that I hate literature or something but it'd be a great burden off my shoulder.
The thing is the college gives IB HL course 6 units for 6/7, but they give British A Levels 6 units for A/B, 3 units for C! British A Levels! Not even Singapore A Levels leh!! They make it seem like IB students have a much easier life than A Levels students. Why can't they give me 3 units for a 5 in HL too?! XD
Aiya. The unfairness of life.
Boo.

Completely random
我突然好想吃猪血糕和米肠!!! ):
Completely random. XD
People should read xiaxue's latest entry... hopefully these kind of drama don't happen around us. Think before you speak. Keep to your promises. Don't try to test another person's limit by stepping over the line, don't expect people to forgive you.
That wasn't referring to anyone by the way, it's sort of a reminder to myself as well.
Oh and I want to thank all of you guys who visited my blog/left a msg! (: All the best, whatever you do! Take care! <3
Caught my own 100 :P

Going to read: Salem Falls By Jodi Picoult
Finished the Mitch Albom book! It's quite... wow, intense... in the nice way lah, finished it in one night :P I like how Mitch Albom's books are about family love, seldom get to read books like that nowadays. It's short and sweet, enriching too, go read if you get the chance (:
Sleeping too late these days cause of late night reading... hehe, it's hard to stop when you have a nice book in your hands. Still have about 10 english books or so I haven't read yet... Don't think I can finish them before I leave, but trying to.
Btw... 抹茶 smells really nice leh! Bought one packet from a 10yuan japanese shop in HK. Are there similar shops in Boston? Hahaha ok, I'm probably dreaming.
I'm quite worried about my courses leh, also doing 5 a semester but I haven't even met my advisor yet! Other people are asking about textbooks already... ): The textbooks damn ex... The school gives codes for the texts to purchase from their bookstore so can't even buy them from amazon or something. Evil. Hopefully I don't need textbooks lah!! >_<
Wow... I'm leaving in about 6 days!! Single digit already.
Yeah, pointless entry, whatever :P

Currently reading: For One More Day By Mitch Albom
Actually, haven't really started yet lah :P
Finished 'The Rescue' though, happy ending as expected but with a small twist! Somehow reading Nicholas Sparks' books make me feel like there is a special someone, so called 'the right person' in life. Or maybe he/she is just the person who appeared in life at the right moment? I don't know. Does it feel nice to think that someone is planned to appear? A little, I guess. A least it makes waiting more worthwhile?
I think I'm not someone who'd tempt with fate. I lack the courage, and I don't have the energy to keep up the fight. Somehow when I try to fight against fate it feels more like I'm fighting against myself.
But what if?
Such cruel words, 'what if's and 'it could have been's...
I should stop questioning my own decisions. The only way to go is forward. No matter how much we want to, we just can't go back anymore. Well, I don't think I have any regrets in life so far. That's good, keep it up.
To digress a little, Liu Xiang pulled out of the 110m hurdles race! So saddening... omg, it's olympics. 4 years. You wait 4 years and you've been fantastic but you just can't run on that day. Just try to imagine... heart-breaking! ):

Packing
It's ridiculous how much stuff I have man!! Packing is such a pain in the arse... If I want to bring my room with me I need at least... 5/6 suitcases?! I can only take 2! How!?
Aiya... Can't bring this, can't bring that, can't bring this either!! Oh no!! ):
Because dorms only provide the basic furnitures, I have to bring my blanket, bed linens, bed spread, pillow, towels, alarm clock, toiletry, hangers, hair dryer, flashlight etc etc, plus dictionary and thesaurus!! what the!! Somemore Boston gets bloody cold so have to bring almost all my winter wear and of course I need my summer clothes too right... And not to forget I'm going for college so I need to bring stationery, notebooks, files and other stuff related to my studies blah blah... Ridiculous!! x__x
Parents are helping me out with the packing and all but it's still really tough... Sigh... After quite literally flipping my room around, I discovered things that I didn't know I had! Like my tiny phonebook that I used in singapore, letters, bday cards, medals, autograph books etc etc. Brought back a lot of memories!! Lots of sentimental stuff. Unfortunately most of the sentimental things are 'unpractical'...
Imagine, 18 years and I already have so many things! Not to forget some other stuff still in singapore! Wow... I should feel really really fortunate yeah!
Hmm... I wonder how my dorm room looks like. Some people can't fall asleep if they're in a new environment, I'm not worried about that, but it's still really sad to leave my room! Cause it has always been a comfort zone. But I think I'll like BC, the campus looks nice (: It's not a party school so I need to pull up my socks too... A bit stressed actually, but it's a new start! Hopefully a good start too.
It's going to be a really really big step. I don't feel completely prepared but that's alright, we'll all be fine. (:
On a side note, congratulations to Singapore Table Tennis Girls team for winning the silver medal! So proud of you Singapore! <3
Some pictures of Boston College (:
The last picture is for you, Michelle... XD I feel cold just looking at it!

下雨天
Added music to the blog... think the loading takes a while, but can't be bothered to change XD
Really really like this song... 听到想哭。
算了，不多说了。看歌词就好了。
嗯。
---
作词：梁心颐(Lara)
作曲：张杰
歌词：
下雨天了 怎麽办 我好想你
我不敢打给你 我找不到原因
为什么失眠的声音 变得好熟悉
沉默的场景 做你的代替 陪我等雨停
期待让人越来越沉溺（疲惫）
谁和我一样 等不到他的谁
爱上你我总在学会 寂寞的滋味
一个人撑伞 一个人擦泪 一个人好累
怎样的雨 怎样的夜 怎样的我 能让你更想念
雨要多大 天要多黑 才能够有你的体贴
其实没有我你分不出哪些差别
结局还能多明显
别说你会难过 别说你想改变
被爱的人不用道歉
edit: eh the music seems a bit loud!! don't know if that's the case for everyone... the volume control is in the 'screen', quite small lah hope you can find it :P if not, sorry!
p.s: can change the fish bg or not? haiz. XD

Going to get my hair cut now! Wanted to go dancing but... never mind.

HTML? @_@
Man... Haven't touched HTML since ages! It's so bloody hard lah = =
Spent the afternoon to add the c-box, sidebar picture and the mainbar picture... Took several trials cause some pictures didn't work out as expected. Actually found a nice layout but somehow can't use it cause blogspot says got error blah blah... T_T
Ok, it's been quite a long time since the first entry! I actually kind of forgot that I have a blogspot too :P
Aiya... I don't know how to make the layout nicer already! I give up!! Hopefully I can keep this blog alive, haven't been very successful the last few times :P
