recently there has been an influx of photos. haahha! and today is the last time im attending class in uni! sounds.......SADDDDD =(

class photo with prof, and she was so nice to treat the class for pizzas. haha! so we were basically munching on pizzas, passing around pizzas, drinking while she talked.





this looks pretty scary actually. HAHA!

class ended at 8.30pm and we went around taking photos for like an hr. ahhahah! =)) and 2 guys walked past while we were attempting to do our jumpshot. i think they must had thought we were silly. but ya, they offered to help us take probably because they noticed we couldnt capture it at the right time for like donkey times. haha!

its last week of schooooolllll! and my last lesson with gregor! booohoooo! yeah, gregor is my fav prof for this sem just because i think he is good looking. HAHA!

my presentation group mate! =)) and prof gregor's effort to draw a do do bird on the board behind us. yeah, we have learnt that the dodo bird verdict says 'everyone has won so all shall have prizes' (basically the verdict argued that common factors across all psychotherapies were so pervasive such that there would only be small differences in the outcomes of comparisons of different form of psychotherapies, which of course is not true ah). so that ends the lecture for the entire sem =)
eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) thats what we were pointing! our topic for presentation. HAHA! won't forget the funny video we did =)
wooohooo! photos with prof gregor! HAHAHAHA! make me happy for a day. everyone was like queuing to take photos with him.

THESIS SUBMITTED! =D mixed feelings actually - happpy with traces of paranoia. just felt my thesis wasnt good enough. whatever it is, just don't let my thesis drop below a grade B =x

that day my prof was still asking me what was my expectation for thesis. i said a B+ and she looked at me with her eyes wide open....'u aiming for first class honours?' i was like 'noooo...first class needs A- right?"and she was like 'oh yeah.' YAR. THE POINT IS AVERAGE GRADE FOR THESIS IS A B. i seriously wonder whether thats good or bad. B+ seems unreachable eh? but yeah, lowered expectation already. B is good enough for me.


my first ever photo taken in psychology department. hahahaha!

cheers to finishing thesis anyway! all my sweat and blood and many many cups of earl grey latte/ caramel machiatto, all my exasperation and slpness night and everything. now i can only cross my fingers and hope that everything will be fine.

now i need to start studying for exams!

Saturday, March 24, 2012

my thesis has been pretty smooth sailing thus far. i was lucky i got significant results and thus, didnt have to relook at other variables and i was able to start writing my thesis early. YAR. JUST WHEN U THOUGHT EVERYTHING SEEMS PLEASANT, SOMETHING JUST GOTTA HAPPEN.

I REALISED OUR CODINGS FOR TEMPERAMENT WERE REVERSED. so what was supposed to be coded as easy, we coded as difficult and vice versa. AND SO, MY RESULTS ARE NOW IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND NOW I GOTTA RETHINK ARGUMENTS FOR MY FINDINGS. ROARS. hate it when im just done drafting my discussion and happily sent it to my prof and this gotta happen.

and so i frantically emailed my prof and explained to her the possibility of our mistakes. and her reply was '.........................welll looking at the positive sides....you still have time to make changes' HAHHAA! she must had felt so speechless.

and when things like that happened, it stresses me like @#$%@$%^@$%^. don't like it when my schedules are disrupted. got so stressed yesterday i barely ate anything and HEY I LOST A KG. looking at the bright side =)

i met joyce earlier just to get cakes for meijuan. and it was so funny because its the first time ever that i bought pandan cake (nono, not those ntuc pandan cake with a hole in e middle, abit more atas than that) for friends on a birthday =x joyce insisted on getting bengawan solo pandan cake to disturb meijuan and i was like...ermmm...u sure? i always associate pandan cake with my ah ma birthday =x haha! its like those elderly usually like to eat those pandan cake. BUT YA ANW. we bought a slice of pandan cake and coffee cake and joyce secretly passed it to the waitress at the place where we were dining.

and its really goood to hear mj finalllly get tog with cg. its like 3 long years of waiting and she's finally enjoying her fruits of labour. i admire her man. i don't know how many girls are willing to wait for a guy, and to wait with the possibility that there will not be any outcome. but yea, so mj is deeply in love now. hahahha! *thumbsup

after dinner, i went to the counter to get the waitress to serve the cake. AND TO MY SURPRISE, mj loves pandan cake! HAHAHAHH! well done joyce, u made the right choice =D

met bf to study in the afternooon before i left to meet my sis and her friends for dinner.
the bride and her bridesmaids =)

we tried out a couple of dresses. initially we were thinking of getting the same shade of colour but with different designs for the dresses, but ended up, everyone just decided to get the same dress. partly cox dresses in that shade of colour are limited and everyone seems to just fit in nicely with that same dress. so within an hour or two, we were done shopping for our dresses =)

met joyce to study at rochester starbucks!! BUT WE GOT CHASED AWAY =X anyway, i was really excited about going rochester bucks because i heard it was really awesome. But it was kind of a disappointment for me. abit over-rated i felt.
anyway, because bucks doesnt allow us to study, we headed to NTU alumni club. and we found this random spot to study.

hahah! like totally random right? but it was breezy and quiet. so we just made ourselves comfortable there =)

it was productive studying for the both of us =D awesome. and joyce made me fell for earl grey latte. yums. it has overtaken caramel macchiatto at the moment.

its vday with ben =)

plan A was aborted for plan B. so bf came to pick me up and we went grocery shopping for our jelly cheesecake =) we found recipe for it but it became pretty redundant because we practicallly changed the whole recipe.

we were supposed to use 50g of icing sugar but bf hse has neither icing sugar nor white sugar so we resorted to using brown sugar =x and because brown sugar is less sweet....we decided to add more of it. but bf hse has no weighing scale to measure so we use agaration, assuming 1 spoonful of brown sugar = 12g. and so we happily added 6 spoonful of it.

by right we had to dissolve gelatine in boiling water but we didnt use gelatine because that isnt vegetarian. so we had to omit that. and since brown sugar (compared to the original icing sugar) dun dissolve as well if we were to just add and stir with the creamcheese (supposed to stir in icing sugar with creamcheese), bf suggested why not just dissolve the brown sugar in boiling water since we gotta add the water (by right it should be gelatine mixed in water) to the creamcheese anyway. and we were supposed to add 40ml of water and again, bf hse has no measuring cylinder (i suppose their family seldom bake), so we assume again one cup = 100ml and we just halve it.

i call it our own recipe. hahahha! after using much of our assumption and agaration, SURPRISELY THE JELLY CHEESECAKE TASTED YUMMY STILL. OMG. how amazing is that. but the looks of it certainly seems unappealing. ahahhahaha!!!! cox i poured the jelly mixture too quickly onto the creamcheese before it totally solidify, so bits n pieces of creamcheese kind of floated around =x hhahahahahhaha! BUT YEA, STILL EDIBLE! just abit unpleasant looking.

headed for fries n ice cream at night and home!

plan B was awesome still because its ULTIMATE QUALITY TIME. ahahhah! and beause i get to make my jelly cheesecake too. heh.
i was googling for some images when i landed up on this blog site. http://hello-son.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&max-results=18.

i just scanned through some of the entries and it kind of touches me for what the mum had done for her lost son.

emo nemo.

my life cant get any more exciting. first was root canal, then wisdom tooth extraction and now, im finally fit to sit in front of my laptop after lying in bed for the past 3 days recovering from what it seems to be a stomach flu =/ booooo! shall not elaborate the details. not too pleasant to hear =/ but thanks bf for being there, physically and mentally =) *hugs

anyway, as i was slping through the past 3 days, i had many many many many dreams. of which, was this reallly scary dream about having all my teeth falling out one by one =X AND ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS DREAM. ITS LIKE I'VE BEEN DREAMING THIS SAME OLD DREAM FOR MANY TIMES. i wondered what it means to dream of falling teeth....and so i consulted my best buddy - google.

The typical dream scenarios include having your teeth crumble in your hands, fall out one by one with just a light tap (YESYES!! I DREAMT OF THIS!), grow crooked or start to rot. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but they often leave you with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxieties about your appearance and how others perceive you. Your teeth help to convey an image of attractiveness and play an important role in the game of flirtation, whether it is flashing those pearly white, kissing or necking. Thus, such dreams may stem from a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old (!!!!!!!). To support this notion, a dream research found that women in menopause report to have frequent dreams about teeth. This points to teeth dreams as being related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine. Teeth are an important feature to your attractiveness and how you are presented to others. Caring about how you look is natural and healthy.

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dreams may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxieties. Perhaps you feel that you are unprepared for the task at hand. However, you will find that your worries are unfounded in most cases. Sometimes what plays out in your mind is far worse than what is reality.

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream may be an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the importance of what you have to say.

further information from google.

Falling Teeth:
As bizarre as this dream may be don’t be alarmed because it’s quite common. Falling teeth points to all of our worries and anxieties that surround us in life and not being in control. If you are under a lot of pressure and is worried about the outcome its possible this dream may appear. Below are some hints on why your teeth are just falling out of your mouth.

* Stressed about your job situation. (yes, stress over thesis if u are referring to that)
* Fear of being impotent (huh?)
* Afraid looking stupid in front of people (self conscious maybe)
* Stress about looking older/trying to stay young (ehhh, not exactly)
* Have you lied to somebody (NO! im like how honest)
* Lacking power at work or relationship. (eh? no?)

Spitting Out Teeth:
Spitting out your teeth in dreams are pretty common and it generally happens to people who are older. This is an awful dream that feels very real and you don’t want to experience it again. This dream can mean that you are afraid of getting older and loosing your looks. In today’s society we fear getting old and Grey and there is a lot of emphasis on staying young, that’s why a dream like this can feel more real than anything. If your always concerned about your looks or afraid of getting old you will be getting this dream more than once in your life. Another meaning to this dream can imply that your are admitting something that you have held back for while and you expressed it in a direct manner. Some people have experienced illness in the family when they have dreams about there teeth falling out.

i only dreamt of falling teeth and spitting out teeth out of the many scenarios. HAHAH! oh man.
