"Doesn't matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up."

Hmm, I like this instantly when it was narrated in Grey's Anatomy's "Elevator Love Letter" episode. For your information, "Elevator Love Letter" is the most current episode of this American prime time medical drama. And I admit that I really do love Grey's Anatomy and always try to keep myself abreast of its latest episodes. Ha, Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey are my all-time favourite characters in this drama. These ladies are die-hard good friends. Many scenes they share are totally hilarious, or very 'girls' talk' kind. And some medical knowledge can be learnt from this drama, like 'sharing bad news to the patient can increase complications on operation table'. In short, you got entertained and educated at the same time while watching Grey's Anatomy. So, interested in watching it?

Anyway, examinations are really coming. Ha, I just got my examination seating arrangements. Hmm, I really feel like asking someone to help me in some subjects like Thermodynamics and Mathematics 4. So, can someone volunteer yourself or something?

I actually lost my Kingston thumbdrive at my university's library!!

Oh man, that one piece of gadget that holds lots of meanings and memory. For your information, I actually bought it at China's Wuxi Sim Lim Square-alike and it's my first thumbdrive. Hmm, I really miss it to the core. How? My mood is totally spoilt since Friday night till now. I can't concentrate. I am totally unhappy about it. Can the person who picked up my Kingston return it to me? I am not going to curse or swear here. I just want it back.

Anyway, I managed to re-do my Technical Communication powerpoint slides swiftly on Saturday morning in the same library. And at the same time, I realised the good of MSN's SkyDrive. As long as you got internet and can access to MSN Live services, I guess thumbdrive-free days are obviously possible to realise. Haha, go and make use of this function when you can. And enjoy its convenience.

Of course, thumbdrive or any portable memory disk can't be totally left out of our IT-savvy everyday life. You definitely will need it when there's no internet or you need to pass something to someone. Also, it can provide a more stable file transfer between people, especially when internet is actually vulnerable to earthquakes and technical problems. So, still keep your thumbdrive or portable harddrive. Well, I still have spare thumbdrives (of bigger capacity) after losing my Kingston. Pretty lucky that I actually have two spares at home.

Alright, I need to get myself back on feet and move on. Let this time be a lesson to be learnt. And, of course, safety measures are to be implemented to prevent future upsets. Yes, one time is enough. And I don't like to be affected.

Lousy. Horrible. It seems like everyone (including Xiao Mei, Shan Shan and C.M.) is working harder than me. And I felt terribly bad to be unprepared for the past weeks' MP2011 tutorials, where C.M. did everything beforehand. Sorry, pal.

Hmm, what am I to do now? Can someone help me? I mean, seriously. I do need to clear up my mind. And I need to re-establish my daily routine or schedule. If not, things are going to be not well.

Anyway, I have finally collected Cheer Chen's Immortal concert tickets. Ha, I can't believe that I took months to get the tickets over the Sistic's Jurong Point counter. Totally ridiculous, right? Yup, I am self-blaming...naughty you...lazy me...

Goodness, I still got 2 more subjects' e-learning lectures to view. I am 'so' running out of time. Please pardon me to stop the post here. And wish me all the best along the way.

Hmm, I was supposed to get my 'engine' running on consistent acceleration this week before settling on for cruising. But, for some reasons, I have yet to do so. Okay, it was only one day over the past six days. Hmm, bad. Very bad. Plain words here cannot do any good. I need someone or something to 'push' me. Any suggestion? Or simply stay at one quiet corner to study? Or even get a study buddy like C.M.? He has offered me thrice to help in my fluid mechanics. Maybe I should seriously consider and accept this nice offer as I really do need that.

Anyway, I realise that the grey zone is seriously appearing between these two person. Maybe some will feel the same way too. But, they don't meet often. Just once or twice a week. Oh well, their relationship status is yet to changed. So, I guess they are just having some innocent affection now, which is as light as "Salad Song", the duet by Yoon Eun-hye and Lee Dong-gun. Ha, just let them be. Let nature take its course.

I did get the 'warning' talk from the personnel of the relevant Office. And after that, I was totally embarrassed. Hmm, it is not just about the academic results. It's about how I find myself worn and torn after my first undergraduate semester. But, that's not what I should do. With or without a scholarship, I should never stop fighting to 'survive' through the university curriculum. Like my friend, Marilyn, stated in her Windows Live profile, I want to graduate too. Hmm, I really want to graduate on time. So, I'm saying 'help yourself' to myself, and 'help me' to all my friends and professors. If you prefer, I can add 'please' in front of both S.M.S (Save My Soul) codes.

Anyway, I might be staying lots of time away from home over the coming weeks. After the 'warning' talk, I think to put decent amount of effort to study is totally essential now. Can't wait much longer. So, if necessary or urgent, I suggest you to contact me via my mobile phone. And I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
