just finish ihrg scrabble.. as expected my hall didnt get into semis... haha but not bad i think we top 4 of our group... let's see out of 7 rounds... we won 4 lost 3. ystd there was one round against the pro-est in our group. was so ready to be thoroughly thrashed by them. well they did, but to me, in a most unconvincing way. i was playing doubles and you are not supposed to communicate with ur partner... then i noticed whenever player A of that hall want to put sth she not sure.. she will hold the tile there... then glance at player B who will support her forehead with her hand if the word is not valid or put her hand down if it's valid. then if player A wants to put at a particular spot, she will try to rearrange the tiles neatly on the board and the first place she touches will be the next one she wants to put so player B will not block that space. well, the first time i thought i was sensitive, 2nd coincidence, but when it happened the 4th time i was like.... so so irritated. but u can't like tell the umpire they are cheating bcos no evidence what.. they just touch theboard, touch the head.... so for the rest of the game i was like staring... yes literally staring at them when its their turn.. then when they try to glance at their partner they will see me staring.. haha u should have seen their faces lo. haha well, if they didn't did those i think they will still win us. and maybe it's just the 2 of them among all from the pro hall... but the sportsmanship is not there and it's really .... haha nvm. frustrating. yes thats the word. but overall scrabble is fun!!:)

my sis got probational offer of scholarship from MINDEF ... which means she will officially get it when a levels results released and is good plus she qualify for OCS. so she's like going to BMT less than 2 weeks later... haha busy with buying all those necessary items... and i think no guy will be able to know what she is thinking bcos all of them jolly well hope they didn't have to go NS and she literally jump into it. lol. i am of course happy for her ... scholars have their career planned out for them who cares recession or not. and she will go overseas to study!!! and come back do what she likes.... and a female officer in SAF... so cool la. at the same time i am jealous. SPF didn't want me it's their loss .. that's what ppl ard me says. but they didn't want me also means i am at a loss. still can't really imagine myself working as an engineer in the future.. but oh well, haha there isn't much i can do now.

thanks to sally i am like now hooked to geo challenge on facebook... haha i am now 3rd among my friends ... and still trying hard to overtake rou lin who is the 2nd on my list.... and 1st is choon yong whose score is more than twice of mine la... siao. haha i'll try to achieve that maybe next holidays...the long 3 month break. haha

in 2009, jingru shall commit herself to the following:
- be organised (record my expenditure, update calendars and reminders)
- try not to procastinate (that applies to household chores in hall, proposals, tutorials...)
- spend more time with my family and friends

notice i nv include losing weight? haha i've lived 19 years and going into my 20th(omg suddenly feel so old)... sometimes we need to learn to accept some things in life... haha

you are on the mrt.. you look across to the person sitting opposite you.
sleeping. jerking and swaying as the train moves.
the head is tilted downwards. hair covering all over the front of the face.
sudden wakes at random stops. 'sweep' open the hair. realise its not time to alight yet.
falls back into deep slumber within seconds.

that's me.

haha! i wanted to cut my hair one month ago bcos it was turning bushy messy clumsy whatever u call it la. dry and split ends... until now i still havent cut... nO TIME!!!:((((

and i have a real serious outbreak on my face. i think i need to go see that doc again. her creams and ointment are real effective but expensive la... hmm but thats IF I HAVE TIME. lol

i am like half asleep now. waiting for my hair todry before i drop dead onto my bed. doesnt matter if my bed in hall is as hard as concrete. my eye bags and dark circles should be visible from 10m away now. it feels worse than going for sports camp. real shack.

this christmas is really draggy...

life is about

inconsistency
-hate the clumsiness in me, but hate even more the once-in-a-while skillfulness.

paradox
-dislike crowds. dislike being alone. just love being all by myself inside a crowd.

rebellion
-nobody really stick by the rules. and you lose out being too obedient.

responsibility
- those that you chose to take up. along with some unexpected ones you can't handle.

choice
-you made one, you gave up something.

dreams
-they remain as dreams. some things are just too good to be true.

commitment
-it's not about you being there. it's the heart.

juggling
-and i can't really do it.

appearance
-impression, looks, public relations.

regrets
-we treasure only after we lost it.

winning
-and losing.

satisfaction
-maybe just from a good night's sleep. or a hearty meal.

reminiscence
-if only(s)....

learning
- from mistakes, about new things...

existence
-we all live to be someone needed by others. like a doctor needed by his patients. or a mother needed by her child.
