mindless

stupid blogger was down in the morning. pretty quiet day, way into this multiplayer game i bought over the weekend. Guild Wars. only problem is, time just flies by when your playing. no wonder kids always get scolded for playing too much. i do that too!

something has been bugging me lately. i didn't know what it was until i could only pick at my dinner. then i realised......I NEED JUNK FOOD. totally crying out for a burger or something deep fried and crunchy. dinner was toooooo healthy. think ill alk out and grab a nice oily burger after this post.

was irritated this afternoon with one of my maid's friends who called. after phoning the first time, she called again 5 mins later. instead of a simple hello, what i got was "Y did XXXX put down the phone" in an accusing tone. i was like #!$!%!@@ but before i could get much sarcasm or scolding in she put down the phone. still, bl@@dy hell.

still, no reason to spoil my hols. my credit card bill came. spent less than i thought. woohoo time to spend!

exmas to xmas

finally the exams are over, cant say they were too stressful, being spread out over so many days..but i still managed to have adrenaline pumping to keep going in today's final paper. kept saying "last one last one" in my head.

strangely couldnt sleep last night, or rather expectedly lah haha. guess its the personal pressure i heap upon myself that even translates to affect my sleep.

things i realise throughout studying the exams

1) i cannot in anyway go beyond 6 hours of studying a day. anymore is a miracle.

2) in typical gemini fashion my mnd changes every minute abt my studying style and plan. in addition, i cannnot stomach studying in the same place for too long. i HAVE to shuttle to and fro between home and the jurong east library.

3) most things can stick in my head in the exam hall, its just a matter of whether i can organise them and not blindly spit them out. sadly its more of the latter...tikam tikam and hope the marker gets it from there

4) i need caffeine

5) in lie of (4) i pee way more!

went to celeb the end of exams with my classmates to swensen's JP and then off to settlers' cafe at Holland V. Games there are really cool and the staff has to really be applauded. it wasnt only us but others around who needed continuous explanation of games and wanting to experiment new ones. kudos to the staff there!

on a light note...its damn funny seeing people smuggling roast geese into S'pore from faraway China now! nice meh? wahahaha

of historical whores..oops woes

throw in a combination of history, geography, grammar, phonetics and sociology and what you get is $%$@%@#@%!# CAE231: Language Change and Variation

so soo sooo sickeningly sian. hope things will get stuck in my head and i don't screw up too badly.

am so wanting to switch on the tv and watch hary potter but my conscience doesnt allow me. doesnt help my dad has it switched on in the hall and i can hear muffled booms of swishing wands. the very same dad who took it into his head to hammer a nail into my room while i was studying. sigh...still gotta love family *shrugs*

things i cursed today: Long John Silver's apathetic service and POSB ATM queues

i got my first ever parking ticket!!! after seven months of driving the government has finally caught up with me. now if onli there were a wingardum leviosa or something to wave the $10 fine away...

to save the world

thought id better put this down before i fall asleep. i dreamt i was spiderman before i woke up this morning. quite vividly, i was facing some strong supervillain made of clay(Clayman) and the only way to defeat him was by spraying oil on him.

oil softened the invincible Clayman but the problem was it lasted only a little while before it dried up. finally i got a bucket of oil and swung it over his head. in his distraction, i got a superhero friend (someone suspiciously like superman with heat vision) to seal the bucket. taaadaaa Clayman drowns in oil.

i then woke up to prepare for my lit exam.how anticlimax...sighez...

2) Roy Keane has left Man Utd

3) Eddie Guerrero has died

4) Madonna is 47 and still sexy or at least appears to be

cant really figure out what else to study for tomorrow's paper, hope my preparation was adeqaute and everything goes smoothly.

burgeoning wardrobe

my wardrobe is bursting...still haven't count topman top spree and the polo end of year sale. haiz....

i bought a zara pants yesterday..realised it was $90 today only...what came over me. then went to some columbia sale at wheelock place today. bought a backpack...they were having FOURTY PERCENT DISCOUNT. guess its a consolation aka save $$ from the crumpler bag i give up on. i mean come on, 200+ for a backpack is rather difficult to see the worth behind it.

that being said, i pretended to be interested at my local cash converter, played around with a $600 gucci simple black elegant shoulder bag. cant bloody figure out why its worth so much, new must be like 1k+. must be some super quality leather cuz to my coarse hands it feels like pvc.

retail therapy has been good this weekend. got to hit the books again. im just happy that i got a pleasantly surprising A for one of my modules. the zara is the reward hehe.getting As is painful on the pocket non?

of the gogglebox, cds and exams

just about going to take a nap before gearing up for the science exams tomorrow. studied english grammar in the library just now...thankfullly took faster than i thought. studying has become a nice cycle these days, takes a while to warm up but once the juices start flowing its smooth sailing. just pray everything sticks in my head and nothing screws up.

was watching star idol last night, totally laughed my head off and some "freakos" who have a bombastic ego. i really exploded with laughter when one long haired, buck-toothed ah beng said he resembled gallen lo aka luo jia liang! omg get a life man!

i have tons of comments to berate the new channel 5 show "lifeline" but shall hold my piece to ^@@^#$&#$%#!@^%@$&@$%!@!&@#*%#!$#@%$&&*. i mean come on, hearing gurmit singh on the tv say "its the first ever kind of show" is a whole bunch of bullshit. in case u guys dont know, its a copy of "Third Watch" from the USA. Firefighters, policemen and paramedics...*shakes head in disbelief at channel 5's creativity*. i thought True Files and Rouge (pukes) were bad enough, now their passing off B-grade crap as A-grade.

currently listening to the new simply red album, a mix of slow and fast tracks but kinda apt for this examination period. can literally blow hot with enthusiasm and cold with sian-ness the next.

thank god for SCV's starworld, hallmark and AXN.
