let the good times roll

Joween
25 & dreaming.

//carpe diem//

better known as joweeeeen. your typical singapore girl. searching for happiness. quite a sentimental person who appreciates cards and letters a lot. crazy at times and pretty emotional. has a contagious laughter and a twin too. older every 21 march. insecure, annoying and always overthinking. shy and quiet, or outgoing and loud. afraid to trust, but dare to dream. loves long hugs, heart to heart talks, sincere text messages and reading handwritten cards. imagining things that will never happen. always setting high hopes and getting disappointed in the end. figuring life out every single day.

9 June 2013, the best day of my life. Live like Jesus, live with Jesus and live for Jesus.
"For nothing is impossible with God."-Luke1:37♥

recess week!!
Saturday, 30 September 2017 || 11:48 pm

yes!! recess week is finally here!! i'm proud to say i've survived the first seven weeks of university but then again, the first semester isn't even over yet and i have four years here. but i've been waiting for this week to come for the longest time ever and it's finally here. time to catch up on my sleep and studies.

this past week had been busy for me. it was literally my hell week of the past seven weeks. i had two midterm tests, two assignments due and two dance practices to attend for our final performance. i slept at 2am every night since the previous week trying to study for midterms because i've been procrastinating a little too much for my own good. and i really have to buck up for my next few tests and finals (ugh).

when people ask me how's school, i feel like i don't really know how to reply them? it's... fine...? i guess??? i really don't know how to describe how school has been. my og has been extra with our attire almost every single week #extraperalta and i have been trying my best to keep up academically. except since midterms ended, i feel like i still lack a lot so i better spend the upcoming recess week wisely. :'-) i guess it's cool that i only have two papers for finals, but then again that means i really have to keep up with class participation and tests and whatnot. as for now, i'm glad to be taking a little break from school before another few weeks till the end of the semester.

and yesterday!!! we finally performed for the seventeen dance cover project. we have been practicing every tuesday and thursday for the past four months, learning the choreography again and cleaning up the moves. there were a few times i felt like giving up but i'm really glad i stuck through and managed to perform together with the team yesterday. we shared good and bad times during practices and i really hope to be able to join yall soon if my uni timetable allows. but anyway!! the performance was fun! there were a few mistakes made here and there but i'm really really extremely grateful to the carats who were supporting us (especially when the security guard tried to chase us away pfft). the cheers and the fanchants sent chills down my spine while performing. managed to get some freebies as well despite many of the giveaways requiring ticket check (and many thanks to amanda for helping us to get the jeonghan fan you very cute really). also met another carat from wkw whom had the same speech tutorial as me once for makeup class but i never saw again i hope i see you around school soon!!! HAHAH. and yes finally met ash for the first time yesterday as well she's so tiny and cute jiayou for your A's ya!!!

GUYS WATCH THE FULL VIDEO OF OUR SEVENTEEN DANCE COVER HERE.

so yes!! i am so glad it's recess week. though i have to go back to school on monday for project discussion (ugh) and simpsons gathering on thursday......... well. also dilemma cos hall maf celebration clashes with weetrip meeting :'-) so i guess i'll have to miss the maf celebration which will probably be lots of fun i hope yall stay till late so i can join yall afterwards hahahah.

till next time x

school 2017
Friday, 15 September 2017 || 1:55 pm

if you're a k-drama fan, you see what i did there with the title ;-)

as mentioned in my previous post, school has started. uni has started. 8 months of holiday, long over. it still feels kinda surreal to me and i'm still trying to get on with the fact that i'm actually in university. week 5 of school just ended and i am not in a very good state right now. i had an impromptu speech test earlier this morning which constitutes 20% of my overall assessment, and it was bad. i have an astronomy ca next week which i have no idea what the lecturer is talking about, and i have a media law test the following week, which loses me every single lecture as well, so rip me.

the first few weeks of uni had been pretty chill i guess, but it was only this week when it hit me that midterms are coming soon so i am feeling a little stressed out and very under-prepared. i really need to pull up my socks and study even though i dread it. other than the academic stress, i'm really grateful for the friends i have with me. peralta, being the most extra og almost every single week and being my only friends in wee kim wee so far, i'm glad to have yall with me during lectures and shout out to jianfeng ignatius and hannah for being my tutorial buddies for bmw and speech (ugh). for simpsons, it's great going back to hall after a day in school and being around familiar faces and people who i'm comfortable with. for ku, been an idiot, always an idiot i'm gonna annoy while i can.

time really flies and i really have to snap back into reality asap. not everything will go smoothly from now, but i have to keep holding on.

till next time x

one month in hall
Sunday, 3 September 2017 || 9:25 pm

hello!! apologies for the lack of updates but uni has started for me and today is the beginning of week 4. i participated in hall camp and faculty camp and have yet to update about these camps i am so sorry but i really had fun. :) got to meet new people and familiarise myself with this place also known as pulau ntu and played pretty interesting games during the camps as well. 

for today i'll just be talking about hall so far. i've been posted to hall one and most of the reactions i get are "omg is it the very old hall" yes it is. "is it need to clean your own toilet that one" yes i do. but look at the brighter side man, the rooms are really big you can hold your own party, and you have your own toilet right in your room!!! it isn't very warm in the room either most of the time (but i just got back from jing's room and tbh i'm starting to feel a liiiiitle warm). but really, hall 1 isn't as bad as it seems to be. but most importantly, the people here are nice. :) 

i enjoy hall so far because firstly it is very convenient and secondly, the people here are nice. HAHAH i have no idea how many times i'm gonna say this but the people i know in hall one are nice i guess. let's just say hall one is near the entrance of the school-- you can very easily go out of school for supper or k sessions (aka nyte lyfe). also, you don't have to worry about not getting a seat on the campus buses because hall 1 is one of the earlier halls so there is a guaranteed seat for you. you do have to worry sometimes about getting out of the bus though. you can wake up later than your friends who do not stay in hall!!!!!!!! or even later than your friends who stay in hall!!!!!!! depending on where your hall is located and if it is near where your lectures and tutorials will be held at. for me, i wake up 2 hours before my lesson so that i can slowly take my time to prepare and leave the room slightly earlier in case i miss the campus bus. sometimes i even walk to school. yes, i myself am surprised that i walk to school. 

but then again, week 4 hasn't even started and i'm kinda sick of the food that we frequently eat already, bless. time to explore other canteens. and also because i gotta settle my own three meals per week, i probably need to get a part time job as well hahaha. and another thing that stresses me out is the activities to take part in. i'm an indecisive person and i can't decide to save my own life because i'm scared that i will regret the choices made like do i wanna join dance or jcrc?????? real question. yep i've been stressing over this question for over a week now and i still can't seem to make up my mind so um goodluck to me as i need to make more decisions over the next four years in school. 

one month is not a very long time but one thing i can say is that hall life has taught me to be disciplined and (kinda) independent. disciplined because there are gonna be many activities and there are probably gonna be many jios happening but i need to know when to go back to my room in order to have enough sleep for school the next day. some people may stay till quite late to talk or till the security guard chases them away but when i'm tired, i gotta retreat back to my room. independent because i am staying away from my family for the first time in 19 years and i have to plan my time well to manage studies and other ad hoc activities. i guess staying in hall is a pretty unique experience for me, as i get to see some of my og guy friends cook and clean their rooms HAHAHA. it takes some time to adapt to hall life but with my hall friends, hall life isn't very dull. there will be random jios and gatherings where we (or maybe just me) let loose and have a good time catching up with people since we're all mostly split up into different schools. 

the cultures in each hall and og are different, so this post is based on my experience being in hall 1 simpsons family. :) i really have no idea how long i'll be staying in hall, let alone hall 1, but i really hope the friendships formed will stay strong. 

till next time x
