Today I woke up at 8am to prepare for my last presentation for AB0601 Communication Fundamentals. It involves rehearsing my speech 5 times before I wash my face and dry it and put on toner and moisturizer and BB cream and blusher and lipstick and then changing into white shirt and black dress pants. Halfway through rehearsal #3 I was hijacked by the new whatsapp mass convo set up by squadmates and I was distracted for 15min. After that I went off to do my stuff but still got distracted for 5min every time I looked at my phone.

Today I gave my last presentation for AB0601 Communication Fundamentals which took up a 30% stake in my overall grade. My teacher feedback that I spoke too quickly, far too quickly, for her to give me a good grade. That sort of dampens my spirit a little. She then told the class the criteria for last Saturday's written examination which was also 30% and I don't think I did well for that either. Still, I hope that I'll get an overall grade of at least a B+. An A- will make me really, really happy. Dare I hope for an A? Our seminar group will be having an outing in January in Sentosa. This sounds like fun.

Today I had my last lesson for university year 1 semester 1. It was AB1101 Accounting I. I like the teacher. She is a post-graduate candidate and so funny and so hardworking I will miss her. Not a lot of teachers in university are like her. I appreciate her for adding spice to my life. She returned me my mid-years and I got above average. My group project got B+ which was average. So far I have been doing above average in accounting. Maybe not so fab that I'll definitely be an A+, but every component places me at average or slightly above average. I really, really wish I can get an A for this, or at the very least, an A-. I'll work hard for this module to make sure my standard remains in my examinations.

Today I met huishan for dinner. We ate din tai fung. We ordered honey lotus roots with glutinous rice for appetizer and she had dan dan mien while I had mushroom mien and we had red bean glutinous cake for dessert. It was delicious. Nom nom nom. We will go to Anjappar next time for dinner. After dinner we walked around Jurong Point for 2 hours. Huishan declared that we have walked through the entire Jurong Point. Then we bought bread and went back.

Today when I was taking 179 back to hall a lesbian couple came on the bus and sat beside me and proceeded to smooch with loud wet kissing sounds. Not that I mind their sexual orientation, but I sort of minded the loud wet kissing sounds, because they did not stop for the entire journey which lasted about 10min until I got off and they were doing it in repetitive kisses and lots of giggling and whispering in between. There is a difference between not being afraid to show the world what you are and what you have and being rather obnoxious about it all. I was amused and curious and repulsed all at the same time. Contradictory, ain't it? If they had frenched silently I would just have been amused and curious, but no, they had to add in the loud wet kissing sounds. It was quite disturbing.

Today was an eventful day.
