Day 76 -- Monday blues

I guess that knee injury I had yesterday caused my really foul mood earlier today. Didn't sleep well and woke up with a HUGE bruise on my knee. But then, I still went for training in the evening and even did jumping jacks. I'm really all out to torture myself, but that's what I excel in :p

Now I'm rushing all my assignments, hopefully I can get them edited soon! I need my sleep :(

Day 75 -- An impromptu trip to 小琉球!

Went to 小琉球 with Miyuki today! To cut the long story short, we had some other plans for this weekend, but due to many circumstances, it became a trip to dong gang and xiao liu qiu at the very last moment. Perhaps it's only a short day trip for 2, we managed to finish planning our itinerary within 2 hours, which includes where to go, how to go and when to go, etc. I really love such efficiency!

Anyway, back to the trip. It's only took us 1 hour to reach dong gang and another 30 min ferry ride to xiao liu qiu. Perhaps what's the most exciting thing about today was just the ferry rides. Sailing in the open Pacific Ocean, the waves were so strong that the whole ferry ride was so rocky! Luckily we made it safe and sound. Just to think about the Korean incident, it must been a terrifying experience for all the passengers, living or dead.

The island is actually quite enjoyable, with the scenic views, the caves and the sea! Not too mad a weekend getaway for locals. Luckily I'm here for exchange, or else, this is certainly no the place I will want to visit if I'm on a tight schedule.

After the day spent in the island, we then went to dong gang for an awesome dinner, with fresh Sashimi and grilled oysters! NTD 150 for a big plate of oysters, just for the 2 of us. And they were so fat and juicy!! This is really bringing extravagance to a whole new level!

But now that the day is over, it's back to another week of studying, training, and school. Good luck to me. Ciao~

Day 74 -- An efficient day!

Went to 新倔江 again this afternoon with Miyuki, Adeline and Alejandra (girls whom i met in dragon boat) to source for our dragon boat tee! And within 2 hours, we managed to get the designs and the quotations done. Now it's just to place the orders and we are almost done! As usual, we walked around the shopping district after getting our things done. Wanted to get myself a formal blazer and saw some really nice ones, but they're either too casual or too expensive. Guess I will have to go again soon, because I need them for the PILOT Global conference I'm attending this coming Friday. (It's so fast I don't even know what to do now :O)

And I came back to dorm with my electricity bill pasted on the door of my room -.- SGD 10 is gone for 1.5 months of EXTRA UNITS of electricity used. Now I really wonder what was the limit given to us, given the fact that I only on the air-conditioning when I sleep -.- And the woes of no roomie = I got to foot the bill ALL BY MYSELF~

Day 73

Had the facilitator training for the PILOT GLOBAL conference in the evening then dinner at some random noodle shop at Yan Cheng Pu with Miyuki. We agree that we somehow always stumble across nice, random eateries along the way. Yesterday was just one of the many times this happened! We then had shaved ice and one of the ingredients was RAW egg! Yes, it's something new, so both of us decided to give it a try and it was good! And for the first time in my life, I tried 'frying' an egg in ice, or rather it is more accurate to say 'freezing'. looking at the runny yoke solidify right in our eyes is just, fascinating. Then again, I believed I'm just being suaku because there are still so many things I didn't see before! 

Ok, so we walked to 新倔江, did a little shopping and chilled at xizi bay. Our conclusion: we love our exchange, but KS can get really boring after a while :(

Day 72 -- End of hell week!

Finished 2 papers today and hello my dear long weekends! I had so much trouble concentrating during the 2 papers today because all I wanted was my bed in dorm. But I still managed to finish the papers on time and hopefully I did not submit any rubbish to the teachers. I can't really do anything to them since I had already submitted them, but now it's party time!

I'm already making plans for the long weekends and I really hope I can fulfil them, one by one. Now it's time to crash 'cause I'm dead beat.

Day 71 -- Mugging day

Spent the whole day (literally!) studying for my 2 papers tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's because I haven't really started studying, it seems like a whole torrent of information that's engulfing upon me. No joke. When I looked at the notes, it felt as though I'd read them somewhere, but then when I reviewed it again, they looked alien to me.

I can't even remember when was the last time I studied so hard for, erm Mid terms? This is really unheard of from me I think. But this only shows that I got to buck up in order to ensure I can get all my credits transferred back in NTU #sadlifedoesn'tendhere

And I do think I'm getting less and less resilient to stress. Looking at the amount  of snacks I had just now and the urge to club right after all these papers are strong evidence I need to build up on my stress management. It seems like the stress-resilient Vivience wasn't brought along in this trip.

Back to my notes again.. And hopefully I can sleep by 3~

Day 70 -- First mid terms

Just had my first mid terms paper in NSYSU today! Stayed up late last night to study for it and went to take it in a half-asleep mode. But thank God nothing unexpected was tested and I managed to complete it without much difficulties. But seriously, we were given ~2.5 hours to complete what is considered a relatively straight forward paper. It's either that the paper was deemed too hard or the lecturer just want to give us a mid term break after our paper as well. Oh well, I don't care, because what mattered the most was the extra time I had for completing the paper early!

So I have another 2 more to go on Thursday and I am done with the mid terms in NSYSU. Come to think of it, I really don't have much time for the next 2 papers, so I better buck up and start studying now!

Ciao~
