Saturday
Now
that another assignment deadline is done, it is time to go shopping and have
fun! Only a few of the girls, Shinyi, Huiting and I went with a large number of
guys to the Chengdu’s city to do some shopping at the warehouse sale near Chun
Xi road. We began to meet up at around 10am and went to the West Gate to take
the shuttle bus to the old UESTC campus since we were going to town. Upon reaching,
we split into two groups, half of us went to explore Chun Xi road while the
rest went to shop around MidTown. While walking around Chun Xi, we were very
hungry and decided to have our lunch first before shopping. For lunch, we
decided to eat Pizza Hut. Faiz and I ordered a big pan pizza that has seafood
flavor and the taste was really delicious, since all this while I have been
eating noodles and rice from the same Halal restaurant over and over again. However
neither the pizza nor the food here in Chengdu, China could beat the food taste
in Singapore, ever!
After
a satisfying lunch in town, we began our shopping journey to a nearest
warehouse sale. I was down most of the time as I was running out of cash really
fast and the items that I wanted costs about RM300. Slowly I began to feel
frustrated and was not having a great time during the whole shopping trip. Then
while shopping, we accidentally met up with Ms Ray, Mrs Teh, Peishuan, Rose and
Lee Minh and eventually we went to our own separate destination. I don’t
usually get attracted to things easily since I am a very picky person but then I
saw a bag that I really like. It felt like love at first sight. It was baby
blue in color and it was like the type of bag that I wanted. When I got to know
the price, I found out that it costs about RM320 and my heart shattered into
pieces since I’m left with less than RM200 and everyone else were getting
broke. I was emotionless, sad and grumpy like I am like a spoilt brat that didn’t
get anything I wanted. But then everyone was trying to cheer me up and moments
later I began to get over it. To me, today was such an emotion rollercoaster
ride for me. Well, that is what you get when a lack of cash girl went to do
some window shopping. Then half of us went back to the campus first by tuk-tuk
since we wanted to finish up our journal which is due by tonight before 12am.
But before we went back to the dorm, we went to have our super late dinner as
we were just too famish and after we had out fill, we went to the dorm with the
laptop in front of us and the sounds of the tapping keyboards from time to
time.

Firstly
in the morning, we had our last lesson on Chapter 6 for AC Circuit. Then by the
afternoon, we had revision with Mr Teh since we would have our exams tentatively
in three weeks’ time when we are back in Singapore. After that, I quickly rush
to eat lunch and start on my report which is due today. My initial plan was
that I would half of my report after shopping yesterday but I was in so much
pain that I fell asleep. Thus now I have to suffer on trying to cram as much as
possible to quickly finish up my report on time before the clock strikes 12am. At
first I was lost at doing it but then thanks to the reference, I was able to
know the geese of it and do my report.
Like
what I have said in my previous post, I really regretted not to start or even
better finish up my report earlier so that I would not have to suffer like
this. But what to do, it has been my habit, a very bad one, to do my work at
the very last minute. To me, I find it annoying and I would always remind or
told myself that I would no longer do my work at the last minute the next time,
but the ‘next time’ didn’t come. It was torturing to have the whole day of
leisure cramming my brain on what to write for my report. I think it is about
time that I take my assignments seriously hence I would not have to suffer just
like this anymore in the future. It would also not bring any benefits for me as
putting aside the assignments would just cause me for my own death instead. I was
lucky enough that I managed to finished my report and sent it to Ms Ray about
10 minutes before 12am and I really put in a lot of effort on my report even though
I’ve done it at the last minute. I just hope it was done as expected and that I
didn’t go out of point.

Thursday
We
got back our common test results today and I was really shocked by the marks
that I’ve gotten for it. I didn’t expect to go beyond 80 or even reach for it! This
is because I did not really study for the test and was just trying my luck as
much as possible. I was really satisfied with my results but I know that I could
do better than this thus I would stop being so lazy and really work hard for my
AC Circuit examinations when I’m back in Singapore.
Since
a group of us had already planned to go out from campus after school to go
shopping, we decided to take the tuk-tuk in groups to Hong Guang street at late
afternoon. Upon reaching, we began walking around the streets to explore the
stores one by one. We stopped by a donut shop where Weijie offered me a donut
but none of us were sure what flavor it was. In curiosity, I took a bite and
found out that the donut has coffee in it. And that is when I got really
terrified. This is because I am allergic to coffee and if I were to consume it,
I will have a really terrible upset stomach. True enough, I was having a suffering
time throughout the shopping journey. While the rest would be walking around
the shops to look around, I will be one sitting by the store they are in like a
beggar. But then everyone was really concern for me and my health. Thankfully I
didn’t consume too much caffeine and could still withstand the pain I felt at
my stomach area.
We
walked around a few more stores until exhaustion began to set in to our legs
and hunger setting in to our stomach. We then took the tuk-tuk to the Walmart
area again to have our late lunch cum early dinner at Subway. I was not really
in the mood to eat anything due to my aching stomach condition but everyone
persuade me to eat and I took a couple of bites before I declare that I am
full. After eating, half of us went to the arcade to play games while half of
us went to the Walmart to do some snack shopping. But then again, most of the
time I was just sitting on the floor as they look around the shelves at the
snacks section. When we finally got back to the dorm, I was told that I totally
knocked out while Huiting and Rose were doing part of their report. By the next
morning, I felt that my stomach was back to its normal health.

Actually,
I woke up late for my presentation. I wanted to wake up at about 6am in the
morning such that I could at least practice on my slides even though I could
not finish the remaining half of the speech I was supposed to do. But then I kept
on snoozing my alarm clock again and again until when I was realize the time, I
had about an hour to bathe, get everything ready and reach the vicinity on time
before my presentation slot timing. Thankfully when I reached the classroom
with Rose, I had about 15 minutes to at least scheme through what I would be
saying before it was my turn.
During
the presentation, it went as smoothly as how I practiced 15 minutes ago, even
though it was pretty last minute. Also for the first time, I was not really
that nervous presenting in front of Ms Ray. However, there are still some
regrets that I hold on to inside where I could make my presentation much better
and more professional. But what’s done is done and I have to continue and move
on. Thus after eating lunch, I quickly began my second round of research for my
report which its deadline is coming in less than a few days’ time. Since I would
be going out from campus to do some shopping with a group of us, I began to
rush as quickly as possible so that I could finish my research by today. I think
that today is such a hectic day where I was running around trying to accomplish
as many things as possible to meet my assignments’ deadline. Sometimes I get so
irritated and frustrated with the entire deadlines that I would give up
halfway. Then I would laze around and playing around for leisure instead of
doing my work and being focus even when I know that I would really regret it
later.

It’s
the start of the presentation and I am glad that my presentation slot would be
on tomorrow. So as Rose Marie thus we had this time to sleep through the
morning and only wake up when it’s going to be in the afternoon for us to eat
lunch. Huiting however had her presentation today afternoon and she was
frantically trying to get her powerpoint slides in perfection and getting ready
her speech. While Rose and I were lazing around for a while, Huiting was
getting ready for her presentation as time gets closer. By the time she went
off to the classroom at block A, we gave her a last minute encouragement and
began to start on our slides.
Rose
and I met up with Huiting and Faiz for lunch and began to talk about the
presentation. Hearing about their feedbacks, I began to feel nervous and panic
a little because so far I only had finished my research and had not done my
slides yet. When we finally got back to the dorm, I quickly start on my slides
but despite knowing the need to finish up my powerpoint slides, I was not fully
focus and was still playing around like I do not have any sense of urgency. When
Rose had already done with her slides and was halfway doing her speech by
night, I was still doing and editing my half of my powerpoint slides. When I finally
finished my slides when it was going to be midnight. I began rushing to do my
speech until about 1am plus in the morning until I was not able to take it
anymore and went to sleep instead, even though I was not done with my written
speech planning. All I can hope is for the best in my presentation as I hardly
had any time to practice on what I would be presenting. I can now just hope and
believe on my brain to work in the morning tomorrow since my timeslot was at
10am.
