its winter suddenly

April 26, 2008

its almost the end of the holidays. And on monday school starts for me again and i will have to power it through till exams.  And the holidays had perfect weather, 22 -27 degrees.. and now just like holidays are ending, the perfect weather has turned around and left. Its a freaking 12 degrees now.. tomorrow’s max will only be 14 means it will single digit coldness for most of the day…

havent been doing much just analysisng old people’s and aphasic language and getting a very big headache from counting the lexical measurements.. Its worse when they are unintelligible.. -x

have been into a baking frenzy on this second week. baked bacon,corn and cheese muffins. baked butter cake as i missed it. baked egg tarts as i missed it too. i miss too much food back home.. i think i am overloading myself with sugar.. ha! And i will have 6 original krispy kremes airflown to me later..so..more overload! its ok to indulge in these stuff when you are away from home! -x

gaaa i really miss my frens back home.. yesh all of u..

yes its so unlike me to post a day a way but i thought i would share this with everyone. I have been reading Shin’s blog for some time. She is a mother of 2, diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is a very reflective person, she makes you realise the little things we do not realise or we take granted for. To me, she is inspiring she is a fighter. She doesnt whines about why cancer chose her she talks about living with it. She makes the best of the situation. Her cancer cant be cured unless a miracle comes by. But i think she is already a miracle..

April 21, 2008

6th week

April 7, 2008

its the 6th week of school here! And next week i will have 2 weeks of holidays. Unfortunately i don’t call them holidays cos i have a pile! YESH a pile of assignments and work to go through. I have to transcribed aphasic speech and i just listened to it just know, its barely intelligible.. ARGH.. now i know i should not do adults. Imagine in spore, a mix of dialects and singlish, haa how am i suppose to analyse into just the basic mean length of utterances. No wonder, no1 cares about speech and language therapy in adults in spore!

haiz there goes my hols. Been trying to organise my timeline for next 2 years as i ,unfortunately, is overloading my degree with my honours. I have no more summer holidays cos they are now reserved for my placements. I have been trying to organise and get the ball rolling, but it gets so annoying when the formal details are not formalised by the institution. So now i am stuck at my timeline.. argh its so frustrating that i spend 2/3 of my time settling admin stuff. i am suppose to study!!!! sorry i am just whining.. i get annoyed when things get stuck.

dunno dunno dunno whether shld i go back in july cos i definately have to do placements in nov08 to feb09. but if i can do in spore den i no need go back in july. but given the rate things are getting settled, it seems like i should jus go back home first. argh… n this is the only tiny part of my delimma! i have many other factors and issues.

kinda of hope sometimes i am not alone here. its so hard to settle everything yourself.

And it doesnt help that my frens are 1 by 1 going back to singapore or their home for good! rahh… soon i will be left with frens that i can count with my fingers! RAH..

Bye cassie, teresa, xiuli, junhui, charlotte.. haik
