I opened the mail box today expecting to see mom's letters and lo and behold, I was greeted by a mail box stuffed with a huge black package.
I dug out the package and found out that the package was indeed from Designbyhumans.
The tees arrived earlier than I anticipated. 10 days instead of 3 to 5 weeks!!! =D I'm elated.
Love the tees. Except some were a little too big despite being the smallest size. They are of excellent quality and they're neither too thin not too thick. I forsee myself getting more tees from DBH.
I'm just hoping they didn't attach swine flu together with the package. lol.
In the midst of my exams,
I find comfort and pure joy in this thing called retail therapy.
The best thing about it, I don't even have to step out of my house.
(But I still have to dig into my pockets. Duh.)
So yeah, I bought a couple... a few... OK... maybe just 7 tees from this website called Designbyhumans (DBH).
The tees from DBH were all designed by regular people with extraordinary talent. But don't just take my word for it (even though I'm reliable and trustworthy), go check it out! Much better than Threadless in my opinion.
By the way, DBH is having a spring closeout sale! Free shipping for orders above 70USD (after discount). Use this discount coupon (valid till May 4, 2009) for a 10% discount off your total purchase!
I've been constantly bugged to update my blog by some of my friends.
One threatened to remove a link to my blog from their website, while another complained that all I ever talked about on the blog is that I forgot that I have a blog.
I'm just about done with my math revision for the big math test tomorrow which carries 26% of the overall grade. Ok... maybe not about done. But I've done enough to realise that I really haven't done enough for the math test. Hooray.
In addition to the math test, I've got a presentation right after the test. We're supposed to be talking about the laws of attraction and how communication plays a role in taking the first step into a relationship. Our attire for the presentation will be formal wear! I can't imagine doing my math test in formal attire. It's gonna be quite uncomfortable.
I guess if I screw up on the math test, I can blame it on the formal wear.
Bwahahaha.
On my way home today, I arrived at Jurong East MRT today and was oh-so-warmly-greeted by huge crowds of people waiting eagerly to hoard a spot on the train going towards Marina Bay. It seems more and more people are using the public transport system and ditching their cars for a cheaper ride these days. Once the train arrived, everyone from outside started squeezing their way past those who were attempting to get out of the train. Some people are just so damn inconsiderate. But that's just how it is. You don't fight your way through, you don't get on the train.
So I was walking back home after a tight sardine ride home. I was waiting at the traffic light. Across the road I saw a huge group of school children waiting for the green man to appear. It was like a stampede of wild little kids with their parents herding them towards me.
My first instinct - SIAM. (Singlish term, meaning "to avoid")
That is why if I happen to become a teacher, I'm gonna want to teach slightly more grown-up kids.
Baaaa.
Dear Student,
After assessing the reasons that you have stated, we regret that we are unable to accede to your request.
Reason for rejecting the appeal : Class size has reached maximum capacity.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences
That's nonsense.
There were empty seats in the lecture theatre!
I shall be stomping the general office tomorrow.
I left this blog to die.
I'm wondering why the counter's still receiving hits.
But, like Ned from Pushing Daisies, I'm gonna bring this blog back to life.
Just a side note: Pushing Daisies will be cancelled soon =(
So... my exams are finally over (for this semester)!!! But I'm not expecting any good results. Everything seems so uncertain. The difficulty of the exam papers were all stepped up a notch from the previous years. But I only have myself to blame if I don't get the results I want.
But all these worrying about exams and stuff seem so unimportant and redundant when life's at stake. I'm talking about the Singaporean lawyer, Lo Hwei Yan, who became the first from our country to die in a terror attack, more specifically the recent terror bombings in Mumbai, India. I can hardly imagine what it must have been like for her or her family during those precious seconds when she was allowed to communicate with her family. It must have been devastating to be given hope of survival then have it swiped like a mat from under your feet. My dad is a frequent traveller too and my sis is on a long-term job posting in a distant land. I only hope that they'll be safe wherever they go and return home unscathed.
Amidst all the actual turmoil that's taking place around the world, there are actually people who kill each other for toys, or trample over Wal-Mart employees while picking out christmas gifts. It's a sad world out there. Whatever happened to the spirit of giving?
It's about a month till I get to have my own room. I can't wait =D I've placed an order for my bed, desk and wardrobe and they're gonna look great in my room. I'll post a few pics of my room when it's ready ;)
It's clobbering time!
So October went by without any posts.
I told myself I wouldn't let this blog die under me hands but I still did. Now to breathe some life back into it again...
Been pretty busy with lots and lots of tests. Exams are just 2 weeks away. Even after 12 years under the Singapore education system, I still feel the same gut-wrenching, stomach-twisting, nerve-wrecking, head-spinning feeling that always swallows me up whenever the final exams are near. There's really no room for error this time. I went to see the school's doctor (MD) today for a throat infection and so I got some anxiety pills from him.
Anyway, I'm a programmer for next year's SPMS (the school i'm in) Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC)! Totally psyched about this cos I get to plan stuff that'll make the future freshies' (slang for freshmen) lives even more miserable than it already is. It'll be fun fun fun.
Physics test tomorrow. Organic chem the following day. Guess this will be the only post for the month.
PV=nRT
I always wanted to use this as a title. Even though it's totally clichéd. lol.
Now that it's the last day of September, I can finally use it.
I like the song too. Really nostalgic.
Anyway, it's October in less than 2 hours. And it's Children's Day in Singapore tomorrow. I still remember the good times I had in primary school when my teachers prepared little gifts like pencils and erasers for the class. That was nearly 14 years ago (THAT long?). Nowadays, children are getting bolder and bolder, even requesting gifts automatically when special occasions like Children's Day or Christmas arrive. I know this because my mom, who'd been a childcare teacher, told me that the toddlers under her care demanded presents from her and requested expensive gifts like action figures, electronic games and Barbie dolls.
Anyway, October's not exactly a month that I would look forward to. Besides two public holidays on Hari Raya Puasa (where most of the day will be spent on studying for the physics test the following day) and Deepavali, October's gonna be rather boring and slow-moving. Nothing exciting like the Olympics in August and F1 in September. It's gonna be a long month.
Oh well... there's always Heroes to keep me going =)
