its getting humid @ Wednesday, July 29, 2009
...so far, i have been spending my summer vacation working, studying, working and meeting up with my friends. I feel sorry when I could only spend few hours with my friends, just to have lunch or dinner...but it can't be helped, i have lessons to attend at double school, and students to teach at juku. And maybe this tight schedule makes me treasure the limited time I have with friends. Surprisingly, I'm satisfied cos I think i'm catching up with those I've wanted to meet. Especially Juna, who is going abroad next month to Paris. Plans for a PEACH gathering this Sunday, for Chika who'll be going abroad to U.K. Makes it sound like this is some farewell season...but its a time for reunion too, for those SILS students who have come back from study abroad. WIll be meeting Seo soon, catching up with girls talk and stuff :)

all the best in Paris :)

finally @ Saturday, July 18, 2009
i'm done with my exams for this semester!The previous week indeed was a pain...
4000words essay due on Monday
Two final exams on Wednesday (Not open-book, piles of notes to study from)
Presentation and a Research Proposal on Friday
Moreover, i had part-time work everyday xD
But I've survived it! I'll spend the money I've earned during the exam period to get myself a pair of swimming suit for the summer camp 合宿.
Well, after this semester, I've found out that I really lack the knowledge of modern Japanese history, the legal system and diplomatic relations of Japan. I guess I have more to learn, and to research on my own. Anyway! I'm looking forward to the MOFA seminar next Friday, and the 5 days Global Seminar scheduled in early September.
Getting accepted in the Global Seminar was a encouraging news I received during the exam period, cos I heard it got more competitive this year, with many students applying from Waseda. Only 5 students from Waseda can get accepted if I remembered correctly.
I thought i screwed up the application essay but what matters was that I wrote my essay in English and explained how I would like to relate this seminar to my future careers.
So, tada! 5 whole days going to be spent in Shonan(Kanagawa) together with students from other universities, and the theme this year would be East Asian diplomacy.
For the time being, my schedule is filled with studies for gaisen, part-time job(really busy with the summer supplementary classes), and of course some leisure :)
Oh I forgot I have another essay to write by next Monday :s
All the best to Karpie who is having his entrance exam for graduate school (><)

I made curry for dinner :D Lol, random...Its July, and its time for final exams and term papers.
Hm...things to overcome
1. History on War and Peace Finals
2. Law and Society Finals
3. Foreign Policy Research Paper and Presentation
4. Taiwan studies Research Paper
After all these, I'm going to spend my third summer vacation in Japan.
Not going back to Singapore this time, cos if I could, I would like to stay for at least two weeks.
Hm, I feel uneasy...maybe i should go down to the convenience store nearby to get some icecream for myself...
I got disgusted after hearing from my good friend how possessive her bf is...
And she still listens to what he say. Blah, why are girls so blind...
thats why i hate 肉食系boys
lol
