.......................................................
And freak! Law tutorials are COMPULSORY. I can't believe I slept through all my freaking alarm clocks AGAIN.

This is the 3rd week and I feel as though uni just started. Considering the number of lectures and tutorials I've been missing, I'm really going no where.
(I took out my calculator just now as I was about to do my tutorial and realized that it was dusty)

Damn... and I thought there might be a chance of getting into honours for law.
You know what, I'm really going full pelt through this semester and hopefully, make it better than the last and consistent to the first two years.

Last semester was disappointing and I've tried making changes (i.e. switching majors) to make it better. I shall not, would not and cannot disappoint myself again. Come to think of it, I'm doing papers which I enjoy best this sem - Econs, Art History, Contracts and Torts.
(Linghui must have dominated me recently)

Digressing...
Not a very good start to my pseudo proclamation of my goal in being hardworking as seen above. But just digressing for a moment...

I had one of the best Sashimi and Nigiri yesterday. I love Japanese food. Really. Ok, I shall not carry on talking about food just in case I start having cravings again.

I was flipping through Fortune (Issue: Global 500) during breakfast and read an article on Noble Group. Reading such stuff always make me go, 'wahhhhh.............' Flipped through the other pages and read about the power shift and the world's largest corporations and I go 'Wooo.........' I really admire the executives' intelligence, confidence, decisiveness, coolness and whatever not. They seem or rather are, out of my league. But its always nice to daydream every once in awhile.

And so they ranked the top 500 world's largest corporations. I skimmed through the whole list trying to find one from Singapore. Surprise, Surprise, Flextronics International came in at 378 (a fall from 292) and guess what, Malaysia's Petronas is before us at 121! (Haha no, I'm not trying to imply anything!)

And I realized that there are really quite a few South Korean corporations on the list. Hmm... wb, good foresight, learn more Korean and you are good to go.

Just if you are interested, the top 5 are:

1. Wal-Mart Stores (U.S.)
2. EXXON Mobil (U.S.)
3. Royal Dutch Shell (Netherlands)
4. BP (Britain)
5. Toyota Motor (Japan)

3 out of 5 are oil and gas companies - where the big bucks are!
And well done Japan - the only Asian country in the top 5. (YEAH! JAPAN ROCKS!)

Digressing further...
I know I said that I would not talk about food previously. But what is Huiling without food?! And so here we go...

Weather was looking good today and I made it to Econs. After my one and only lecture for the day, I decided that I should reward myself for... listening in class. So I decided to go grocery shopping AGAIN! I know I shouldn't since 1 week ain't up yet, but I have this crazy craving for standard milk (not the trim ones) recently and mine is running low at home and I know my cravings would drive me crazy in the middle of the night and I will keep thinking about it and I will be inefficient in everything -> substantial reason for going another round of grocery shopping.

If thats not enough, I also ran out of toilet paper and softener which are also adequate reasons to go grocery shopping. AND I thought a walk would be good to clear some thoughts. Anyways, I was kinda 'torn apart' when deciding where I should shop at - TaiPing (Asian grocery store) or Foodtown. At last, I decided I should go both. (I need to/must/have to/dying to buy avocados in Taiping).

So I made my way to Foodtown and to my HORROR there were SO many BARGAINS I really felt like buying the whole Foodtown. The freaking beef was so inviting, I subconsciously took 3 packets. Of course I had to buy milk and I also must buy spaghetti, I also needed to buy tuna, I also felt compelled to buy bread, I was also coerced to buy toilet paper, I was also induced to buy Mayo, I was also convinced to buy Pasta sauce, I also needed to buy instant noodles and how can I forget about my precious bread?!

And suddenly I was awakened from my frenzy and realized that I can no longer make it to Taiping any more!!! There was just so much stuff in the trolley I don't think I can carry it back. If you think that I did not practise self-control, you are SO wrong. I gave up buying Salmon, fish paste, avocados, peaches, lettuces, sausages and juice! And I'm still brooding about it. You have no idea how much I wanted to get Salmon and avocados and sausages!!!! RAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! If only I had a lorry and a driving license.

And yes, I suffered on the way back. 4litres of milk/softener and 1 bottle of Pasta sauce in my bag and all of the above plus carrots, onions and canned food in my hands. I never learnt my lesson. I was crawling up the stupid slope and felt a scary similarity between that and the time I was lugging my luggage from the bus stop -___-"". Call me spoilt brat but I hate to carry heavy stuff. I've this random thought whenever I walk back from the grocery store - a kind driver or passerby would take pity on me and give me a lift home or help me carry. And I would fantasize sitting in the car and within seconds I'll be home. Or if its a passerby, the weight I'm carrying would be half... *daydreams... and before I know it, I'm home and nobody came to help. -___-""

Ok. Bye bye. I'm going to study like I've an exam tomorrow.
