It's just less than two hours before a new calendar year arrives to this part of the world. Well, what can I say? 2006 has been an eventful one, with some ups and downs, and new recognition of what one can expect in his/her life has been somehow established, rather than to be a 'no direction but just follow the crowd' person. And I want to thank anyone, who has been with me when I need some support and courage, or even make my life more beautiful than what I ever can imagine for my own life. I mean it. Really. Thanks.

Okay, so it's a new year for me and the rest of the world. The first thing is that me and some of my friends will be celebrating a new milestone of our life, which will lead us nearer to the essence of the real world. Having cold feet about it? I can say "yes, in some ways" cos' the path in front of us or every single individual is always a mystery for one to explore and experience. However, one has to be courageous and mature to walk down the passageway of life, and bear with anything that comes along the way. So, friends, let's be prepared.

Then, the rest is up to what is to happen or to be expected in the new year. Can I say that's another mystery for us? Wow, there's certainly plenty of questions of what's going to happen, who's going to die, who's going to be born to which couple etc. in all parts of our lives. Hmm...it seems like I'm writing craps here. Aiya, whatever it is, these are just my opinions. You have the freedom to believe my words or not.

Anyway, do enjoy yourself on this special occasion while different parts of the world will be welcoming the new calendar year in their own unique ways. As for myself, I think I choose to go to bed early cos' I'm really tired. Good night.

I have went to consult my skin doctor, Dr Loke, yesterday. This time, I went to the place all by myself, with some help from my bus guide and my sixth sense. And then again, I had waited about half a hour for my turn. After seeing my condition, Dr Loke prescribed me with some pills and the usual medicated cream, and said that my skin is sensitive and we will have to observe what I am really allergic to cos' it varies with individuals. Actually, my condition could be due to stress too. Anyway, Dr Loke finally had handed me a list of food which I can avoid while under medication. Oh my goshness. Let me tell you that I will have to avoid beer, tined or preserved food, medicine such as penicillin, milk & cheese, eggs, fruits (wow!), shellfish, nuts, chocolate and sweets, and yellowed coloured soft drink like chrysanthemum & sugar cane juice. Haha...I'm not very sure what I can consume now.

Anyway, I'm now rushing my holiday assignments and preparing some information for my upcoming activity. Hmm...I might be too busy to update anything during this period of time. But don't worry. I'll try very best to think of something to blog. That's a promise.

What's to expect for this Christmas? Definitely no male companion cos' I am invited to an all-girls mini squeeze-in. Wow. Sounds okay? Absolutely cos' I love to do silly things with my close friends, and perhaps talk about anything under the sun. Okay, at least about ourselves. Haha...well, I should thank Lijuan and her friend for this nice idea. If not, I probably will choose to chill out at one of the coffee cafes in the town on this very special occasion, with my favourite cafe latte or even frappuccino (as for at Starbucks).

Anyway, Weiliang will take over Jiahan to go to Guangzhou, while Ivan will replace Junhong to go to Shanghai. As for Jessie, she'll be guranteed a place for the following batch of overseas industrial attachment. What a piece of good news for everyone. From these 6 months of overseas exposure, we're to experience real independence and have cross cultural exchange with the locals, trying or even fully submerging in a different everyday life. Am I right, people? Well, let us keep it low profile first. Once everything is settled, I shall keep you updated with more elaborate details about this overseas industrial attachment programme.

Meanwhile, I'm going to bed now, and I remember that I have to buy something for the Christmas gift exchange. Please don't let this thing slip off my mind again. Not again, please.

Goodness. I can't believe myself being so shaky in doing the two common test papers. It's such a big disappointment to myself. I know all my lecturers will be shocked when they are to grade my scripts. However, there's no point of return to correct the mistakes made on the papers now. So we shall see...

Anyway, having this matter really makes me awake to wonder what's actually wrong with me. Is there something distracting me while preparing or, I simply just panicked while doing the papers? Hmm...I can't blame anyone now for such situation. I just have to stay calm and cool all the way throughout the following weeks of this semester. And also, I shall have to put no pressure on myself to achieve perfect grades. Rather, I should let myself flow with the course of nature. Then, I guess I'll be able to get out of this unexpected and unwanted situation, and recover the real me.

Ok, it's time to rest before having one more common test paper in late afternoon and followed with going out with my friends in the evening. God bless me. Thank you.

Hmm, I'm still slightly affected by my careless performance for today's common test paper. It's really my mistake to change the former, and fail to check and change for the latter. So there goes some marks for that big mistake, preventing me from scoring beautifully. Oh well, I can't do anything about it now. However, a lesson is greatly learnt.

Perhaps I should just relax and do the following papers with a calm mind, rather than making myself a 'super person'. That doesn't seem right for me. I already feel that I have lots of things to meet up with. And being multi-tasking for all times exhausts one fast, leaving not much energy to take a brain-consuming task such as taking a test.

Ok, I will have to get back to my revision before watching my 10pm TVB drama serial and then go to bed early. No more multi-tasking for a common test day, or any particular test days.

Next week is the common test week, with me having three papers from Wednesday to Friday. Oh well, I'll say I kinda like it cos' I know I can temporarily go about here and there more freely, be it at home or in school campus, with much less restrictions from my usual academic schedule. I mean my academic schedule can be really hectic, especially when tutors are pressing you for assignments or giving you tests. Other than liking the moment, I shall definitely treasure it more than I ever do. That's a promise.

Anyway, after my common tests, I'll have to do a few demanding assignments over the two weeks' break. I'm not too sure if I can have a nice time enjoying this festive season with such important assignments in hand. But I certainly will be trying my best to finish the assignments on time to let me able to concentrate the other stuffs after the break.

Hmm, I seem to mention too much about my academic stuffs. Maybe it's because it has actually occupied most of my time in my everyday life. And hence, I'll have unknowingly placed much focus and concern on it, to so make my best out of it. Haha...I wonder if I have changed a lot from who I was two years ago.

Ok, I decide to enjoy myself by relaxing, or particularly doing nothing for today before starting my momentum for preparing the common tests and completing my assignments. And to enhance my relaxation, I have stored a number of chilled mocha drinks so to let me conveniently stretch for it without stepping out of my place. Hehe...goodie goodie...
