As I typed the title of this post, it reminded me of my presentation last week. I guess I really stressed out myself and I didn't perform as I expected myself to. *sigh* I don't understand why I can't seem to a method that is suitable to let me hold or maintain the situation. Sometimes I just get so so disappointed with myself that tears just flowed out. Even though I know I practiced and I make use of the mental thinggie before the presentation to make sure I'm prepared for it. Kind of failed or I just go blank when things don't go the way I've practiced for.
I thought that was my last presentation in polytechnic, but.. I guess I have another chance not to do better. Lecturer mentioned that there will be a journal club on next Thursday.. 14 Feb. Last day of school, last presentation and I'm going to celebrate Valentine's with Dear after that. *excited* I'm panicking about it too =x Haven't been able to prep anything.
The past two days were spent mainly at home because CNY is just next week and there's quite a bit of things to be done and prepared. Spent my friday evening with mummy at home and preparing all these.. Rolling the popiah skin, cutting them up and deep frying them. We made batch 1 one Friday evening to bring to my paternal Grandma and also sent them as gifts to my aunts and uncles.
Batch one was mostly done by my mum cause she took the day off and spent about 5 hours just rolling 8 packets of skins. Lucky I was back earlier to help her. But I stopped halfway =x
I woke up super early to accompany my Grandma to the polyclinic. My grandma forgot to get appointment for today and ended up as a walk-in patient. So walk-in means no priority. WE WAITING LIKE 2 HOURS TO SEE THE DOCTOR and he sent us for blood test (HbA1c) and then ask us to wait. The clinic was like super full when we arrived and we were the last to leave D: NEVER GO AS A WALK-IN on a Saturday. I only got home at 1plus and since I was so tired, mummy let me nap for an hour plus. Supposed to head to grandma's before going to Bugis but after we board the cab, the driver went onto PIE which was heading towards town so mum decides to head to Bugis first. I didn't had any proper food so we went OG for my early dinner at ahma 的私房菜. Ordered a soup and a vege to share with mummy and a pot of tea ^^ It's a mix of chrysanthemum, rose buds, wolfberry and some tea leaves. I was too hungry so.. no photos. The meal was expensive and not really worth it D:
Shopped a little before going to grandma's and mummy bought me a bag ^^ she said I didn't take money from her for buying CNY clothes, heez. It was not really in my budget, but mummy say she'll buy for me. <3 I wanted to buy shoes too but I didn't want her to pay for it as well, so I will go back and get shoes soon. Maybe tomorrow. Oh yuh, I was thinking of making meringue for CNY snacks. But I don't know if I have the time or not. I think mummy won't want me to mess up the kitchen, since she's going to clean it up today.
I stayed awhile at grandma's place and headed to Lot One for movie with dear. We caught 'The Impossible' and it was about the Indian Ocean Tsunami that occurred in 2006 and it was based on the true story of a family. The family went through the tsunami and got separated but after a lot of things, they got back together. I thought there were something about religion in there because the female lead was holding something that looked like bible and a page flew out and somehow the page flew out a second time when the tsunami hit. There are things that are quite creepy and gross about it but I was able to feel the pain and emotions that the people were experiencing. There is this desperately helpless feeling D:
I wanted to continue with my 2012 review, but time is running out. It has been quite a wordy post. So ending it with one of the photos from work during June with Magdelene. <3
