It hasn't changed for the day yet, so, PUDDLE.

Happy Birthday Laura! Though if you're reading this, you probably shouldn't be here. Nor should I, for that matter =S Have an awesome day anyway!

You know the way IE shows you your most-visited sites in miniature when you click on New Tab? Today, when I clicked on New Tab, MLIA (My Life Is Average) showed up as one of the nine thumbnails. Just after four days. MLIA.

My first paper was yesterday, and it wasn't a fantastic start, but oh well. It seems funny to know that I won't ever be doing an exam for that module again, I'll never use any of those notes again unless I take another elective to do with Linguistics. Things in Uni move so fast. We spent about half a year on each book in JC, here we spend a week on each text. For each module. So that's at least 3 different texts each week.

Watch out, IKEA. We're on to you. =D

My friends are awesome.

It's the last HW101 workshop. A friend of mine is sitting right in the corner. I only see him during this lesson, and in passing during lectures. I'm sitting beside him. We're supposed to write a letter to our instructor reflecting about what we've learnt and telling her anything we want to. My friend looks in his laptop cover for a pen, looks bewildered, glances over at me, and reaches for my pencilcase. Grinning sheepishly, he proceeds to rummage inside for a pen. "I don't have a single pen on me," he says. I offer him the one I was about to start writing with. "Here."


"Um isn't that your favourite pen or something? I'll take another one."

AND I signed into my Cbox account. Was relieved that I remeber the password. It was really fun reading all the tags that CBox saved! I shall put it up again someday.

Long, boring post. Unless you're an Aquarian girl.

I once told a friend that I can be contacted anytime I'm needed, even at 3am. Back then, I thought 3am was considered an unusual and unearthly hour.

On Saturday night (or rather Sunday morning), I slept at 5.30am, and had to get up before 9am on Sunday morning. On Sunday night (Monday morning), I slept at 3am, and got up 7.30am on Monday. Survived Monday by editing Sam's HW101 assignment during lecture and Caroline and Jon saved 102 tutorial. I was up the whole of last night, Monday, revising my HL102 assignment and helping other friends to edit their essays and look for critical sources online. It was quite fun, the way we dropped each other a message on msn every hour to check progress. ZT went off first, around 6.30am. Colin slept in the evening before starting the assignment and was still working on his assignment when I went to grab a half-hour of sleep at 8.30am. Got up at 9am, started for school, refused to sit for fear I'd fall asleep (though my knees buckled twice cos I dozed off for a second despite standing), met Ronnie and Jia Yi on the way, and met the others at LT9. Colin was finally triumphant at 1600. Lecture was only an hour, and that concluded the last lecture for this semester. We went to Can A, I realised that I hadn't eaten that morning but just bought a Mango Ice-blend anyway, and I decided not to skip the last HG102 tutorial. And good thing too, we were given extra marks =D Reached home at 4.30pm, and I've got HW101 to work on now.

Anyway, my point is that 3am has become too common to be used. I need to find another way to say I'm always available.

This Chris Brown song has been stuck in my head:
Ain't no way (ain't no way),
I'm gone let you down (let you down).



This is one of the more accurate descriptions of my horoscope I've seen. I usually scorn all those horoscope descriptions that are floating around, but not this. And though some parts of this aren't accurate, most of it is. Plus, it's amusing. Comments in brackets are added by me. I guess it's written for guys, about girls. Drop me an email if you're a girl and wanna read yours/if you're a guy and wanna read about a particular girl =D

Aquarius Woman (21st January to 19th February) :

Inconsistency and confusion describe the characteristics profile of an Aquarius female. (What nonsense!) The same goes for her love life too. She is very loyal, but at the same time, she is also a little detached and not extremely emotional. She will be committed and remain faithful too, but do not try to bind her. Let her enjoy her freedom and in return, she will come back to you when she gets tired of her expeditions. Her dreams are very different from that of a normal female and she hums a different tune, which most of us have not even heard of (This is so cool).

An Aquarian female is like a butterfly, which sits on every flower, but belongs to none. She loves her freedom and if you can accept this, she will love you even more. Within her boundless limits, her love will also be limitless. Position and power matter to her more than money and bank balance. If you want her to fall in love with you, be true and honest, not only to others, but also to yourself. You don't need to follow her rules. You can form your own code of ethics, but be sure to live by them (Very true) .

Passion is not one of the personality traits of Aquarian girl. Rather, her love will be subtle and unassuming. She is intense, but may prefer to be platonic most of the time (Yes!). Hosting as well as attending parties comes naturally to her and she will always be a social delight. She will trust you completely and will not be unduly suspicious of your activities. You will also not be bothered by too much jealousy or possessiveness on her part. Her trust arises from the fact that before committing, she had dissected your behavior under a microscope (Haha, does sound likely).

Only after being convinced of your integrity did she take the next step. Still, if you become unfaithful to her, she will be extremely hurt and is likely to remember the wound for a long time (Perfectly true). With an Aquarian female, out of sight means out of mind too (No way! This is absolutely wrong). So, make sure to be around her always. She has a very strong will power. If she thinks the relationship is not working and has no chances of improving, she will break it right away, though doing so may tear her heart into two pieces (Whoa, they got me. Spot-on). Like every Aquarian, she will remember her first love throughout her life.

It's no use getting upset, better be the first love in her life (HAHA what on earth). She will never ever be dishonest in a relationship and even if she indulges in an extra-marital affair, it will end before it even started. She will always try to know your deepest thoughts and secrets, but her own dreams will be beyond your reach. Conversing with an Aquarian female is usually a delight because of her charming manners. Her mind is quite unpredictable and you will find it hard keeping track. She will live in the present, then suddenly be wistful about yesterday and then, become enthusiastic about tomorrow (I've noticed this myself).

She may talk about fairies one day and discard elves as humbug, the other. Never look down on her or she might never look up to you (Oh nice phrasing!). She respects you and will expect the same in return. As mothers, Aquarian women tend to be very loving and caring. Though in the beginning, they may be a little nervous about the whole idea of motherhood. But once they become comfortable with it, it will come to them naturally. An Aquarius female may find it difficult to express her love in the form of hugs and kisses and you will have to teach her that. She will never overburden the kids with protection.

At the same time, she will always be a patient listener to their childhood and adolescent problems. Teaching them discipline will also be your responsibility. However, for all this to happen you will have to convince her to get married and this certainly isn't an easy job (Lol..). You will also have to teach her romance, since expressing emotions does not come too easily to her (Very true, the expressing emotions part). She will happily hold your hand and walk besides you, but don't expect her to gaze into your eyes for hours at a stretch (I agree completely).

Don't smother your Aquarian girl with too much closeness, she needs her space and will give you, yours too. Things like suspicion, possessiveness, chauvinism and criticism turn her off. Just be nice to her odd bunch of friends (HAHAHAHA) and she will warmly welcome yours into the house. Make use of her intuition and insight, it may help you in solving a problem or two. It may seem like wishful thinking now, but then, remember she looks in the future. Hold her hand and she will let you see the future too, where both of you are cozily living together! (Lol so cheesy.)

Someday I'll show this to my husband.

All Hail Chen!

(A lot of people are using variations of this template but it's honestly one of the neatest.)


Shouldn't be here, but this made me grin. =D


It's exactly two years to the date that PW ended. So I messaged Laura, Jared, Reuben and Wen Jun about it. The conversation with Reub went this way:



Me: Hello guys! (if i rmb right, it's VJ087.) Today is our second end-of-pw anniversary! Haha hope everyone's doing good!


Reub: Haha yup yup i'm doing well. :) who's this by the way? :X


Me: It's shreya! Haha did you lose your contacts?


Reub: Haha hello shreya! I must have lost your contact when i changed to my army phone. Ah i'm surprised you have spare smses to message us. I thought you usually use them all up on your boyfriends. :D


Me: Hahaha what on earth! Dont make up stories just cos you're emperor! Lol. I'm sure none of your MANY girlfriends' numbers got lost right? =D


Reub: Haha. Fine you caught me. The truth is that i threw away your number cause you failed as the bodyguard! Ha but now you're hired again. You'll start work on monday! See you in the army camp. :)


Me: Hahaha you never fail to make me laugh. Thanks for giving me my job back! I failed earlier cos you didnt give me salary =( lol im on course now, until 2013, so ill join after that! You can think abt my salary till then!


Reub: Haha sigh. Nobody cares about the emperor anymore. Haha. Yup yup take care my bodyguard. If anyone attacks you or anything tell me yea? I'll execute them immediately! :)


Me: Yay ok! Haha you better save my number =D ill punish anyone who gives you trouble too! (army officers dont count) haha take care!



=D



I guess you won't find it funny unless you know him and can picture him saying all that.




And I'm beginning to understand why Thiru's so mad about Survivor.

Hopefully, this will be the top-most post till exams are over.

Things to do after the 2nd of December:

Walk/Cycle to my favourite place at the beach.
Empty my phone of messages.
Meet various Victorians - batch-mates (sem 1 will finally be over), juniors (As will finally be over), seniors (some of them finally ORD).
Climb onto the VJ roof with friends on a starry night. Or, if I won't be allowed, on a cool evening.
Meet other friends with postponed meet-up plans.
Write letters and buy stamps and envelopes (preferably black in colour).
Play the violin.
Learn how to write my own blog template.
Watch movies all day/night at home.
Find a mouldy old tape that can't be salvaged and open it up to see how it's assembled. The rationale behind the mould is that I won't be wasting a tape.
Make mixtapes.
India trip!
Make scrapbooks of Silicon Valley trip, Japan trip.
Get Lit notes back from junior.
Have a look at VJ Physics notes. I really like Physics (except for the electricity bits) and might do a Physics module next sem.
Write a letter to myself to be sealed until 2013. I would have graduated by then.
Go for a walk with a camera in some secluded but pretty place.
Make a notebook out of home-made recycled paper.
