Went to look at my Facebook activity from year 2007 and wtf! My statuses then were all damn embarrassing. 

They all go something like, "Rachel Tan is is sad coz she cant make it to the class chalet. :'(" , "Rachel Tan is confused", "Rachel Tan is tired". 

OMG. Was it a trend to speak in third person on Facebook last time?

And this is my very first photo on Facebook. 

Can you spot me? HAHA
I miss being 14!

Shit la really need to lose weight this time. Ate too much during the exam period and now my face and calves are swollen. Didn't even realise that until I saw pictures of myself. Gross.

Anyway, TODAY MARKS THE LAST DAY I AM TAKING EXAMS IN NGEE ANN!!!! NO MORE EXAMS EVER!!!! JUST THIS COMING INTERNSHIP SEM TO GO BEFORE I GRADUATE WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Yesterday's pretty significant. First time in seven years. Strange feeling.

Forgot to note this down, I got my conch piercing on 7 August! I've always wanted it, and now I've gotten it.  It's my first needle piercing and it didn't really hurt much, surprisingly. Just for one sec when the needle went through and when the piercer tried to put the stud through the hole. But now it's slightly sore at the area, and I can't sleep on my right side again, like the other time I did my helix. Every time I accidentally budge it when tying my hair or something it will hurt though. The only plus side is that the conch is closer to my head and doesn't really get bumped around so much like the helix, so the chances of it hurting from accidental contact is less. Anyway, who cares, I got my conch pierced! :D

Read some of my previous posts and I realised I sound too chirpy. Eww. I literally cringed while reading. Some posts are simply exclamation mark overload. Reading my own journal entries are too embarrassing. I still couldn't even bring myself to read my primary school journals, I think I will only read them and this blog when I turn 70 or something.

The other day I suddenly had a thought; is my personality now my true personality? Was I born with this personality, or did it change and morph over the years to become how it is now? Can personalities even be changed? Or did I, along the way, started to pretend to be someone different from my original self and eventually I got so good at pretending that I don't even know if how I am like right now is really me? This is quite scary. Are having thoughts like these what they call an identity crisis?

I don't think I have mentioned this before, but my flight to Shanghai is confirmed for 30 Aug. Or have I? Anyway, the thing is it's just 24 days away (less than a month!) but I can't really feel it yet. Know what I mean? I'm going for five months! I've never been away from home for so long before. But that fact hasn't sunk in yet. Weird. Usually even if it's a five days trip I would get excited early but now.. THERE IS NO FEELING. I think my brain is just too overcrowded with thoughts of exams. Seriously, now that projects are over we are diving straight into exams. STRESS! But it's the last (ever) academic semester anyway, and there are so much to look forward to after this sem ends, so.. LET'S GO!


I'm going to be a curatorial intern in Shanghai Ocean Aquarium by the way! Curatorial work wasn't my first choice but now I am getting pretty excited for it. I heard it's going to be mostly desk bound though. And full of research work. :| But still, the word "curatorial" sounds intriguing. I'm going to start telling everyone I'm doing curatorial work and when they ask "what's that?" I'm not going to explain. Then they can stare at my back in bewilderment and wonder as I turn my curatorial intern self away from their mystified faces. HAHA. Sorry, human thoughts get strange at strange hours.

So hungry right now watching the people in Running Man eating lobsters and crabs. Ah.. this is torture. I want steak. Some nice, juicy steak. On a hotplate with a baked potato and lots of bacon bits on the side. I am making myself hungrier. I could have made something to eat for myself but I don't even have a kitchen now. I just want some scrambled eggs! I haven't had scrambled eggs for so long! But I have no stove. And no kitchen. And I am lazy to plug in my microwave, which is buried under a pile of stuff anyway. Renovating the kitchen is so much trouble. Actually I do have a stove but it's in its box. New, nicely wrapped up and useless. Come to think of it I think I haven't had eggs in over a week. WooooOOOww. I don't think I have ever gone without eggs for so long. Maybe now my farts won't smell. Hahahahaha

FYP presentation is over!
Today everyone seems slightly emotional, especially towards the end. I've always wanted this semester to be over as soon as possible but just now I suddenly felt like I don't want life in Ngee Ann to ever end. 


Anyway I find it cute how every lecturer just now is so protective of his/her own tutorial class. HAHA. Love the TRM lecturers, most are pretty caring. But still, Mr Loh's the best! :D
