problem after problem

Probably flunked my Stats exam. I think the only good thing that has happened this week is tonight’s dinner with Christina and Stephanie. Ok…maybe the “loot” I got from attending the talk by Mary Kay Haben and the Stats homework deadline got extended to Monday. Just when I thought I could enjoy a breather from exams and homework, another problem…

my life is officially screwed

All the coffee I downed just to stay awake has gone to waste. My life is officially screwed by the stats exam. Almost panicked and blanked out. Told myself to calm down and think, but ran out of time to think logically. To think that I was half confident that it would go ok since I did one practice exam…

blogging anew

Yes, I got a spanking new blog and no, I’m not ditching this one. I just wanted to encourage myself to write more. I think I used to use this place to give boring everyday updates of my life. Then as I got older, I found it more and more boring. Finally when I entered college, I wrote only occasionally.…

a lesson on customer service

I hate businesses who use generic email addresses. No scratch that. I hate incompetent people who can’t do their job well. Whoever is hired to reply to emails isn’t doing their job well. What is the point of having an email address and asking customers to email to it when you’re not going to check it anyway? Don’t tell me…

something is missing from my horfun

Moments ago, I was enjoying my beef horfun from Golden Wok while watching a documentary by History Channel on 9/11.  Yea, weird mix…I was feeling sick halfway through my dinner watching raw footage of the World Trade Center towers from a dozen civilian phone cameras. Anyway,  the horfun from Golden Wok is by far the best horfun. Tastes just like…

ooh look, pretty wallpaper

I mentioned to deary quite recently on how people seem to behave around me. Despite my contributions, I somehow end up being part of the wallpaper or I somehow just blend into the background. I’m the person who when somebody mentions me, the other person goes “who’s Elisia?” Don’t ask me why it happens. It just does. Who’s Elisia? I’m…

how far would we go to obey?

A few weeks back, we were talking about social influence in Social Psychology class. We touched on the topic of obedience where my TA talked about an experiment devised a long time ago by Milgram. It was an experiment where a volunteer was assigned the teacher role and the other person was assigned the learner role. The teacher and learner…

perspectives

I have started blogging for the217.com. It’s more of a themed blog where I discuss about life in general in CU occasionally making references to life in Singapore. By the way, I’ve not moved, this blog is still functional. Now, on to Perspectives…

seeing underwater

Muahahaha…soon I’ll be able to do that and I will be able to see those fishies when I go snorkeling again during Winter break. Of course, that comes with a massive price tag after I went to the optician today. I had to go through an eye test and fitting of contact lenses and all that jazz. No, that does…
