this Friday marks the end
Awaiting and constantly counting down... Friday still hasn't arrived. These 2 weeks of exams feel more like 2 months. Had Physio paper on Mon but spent Sunday chilling at Marina Square and Bugis area instead. Had an over-priced vermicelli at Lai Lai that wasn't all that worth it. Then headed over to Marina Sq for some serious biz... helping the happy couple plan and organise for their big day. Dan and I are just sooo happy for them; can't wait for their big day!
Well, it's a month plus of happy events coming once the exams end - firstly there's Wei How and Shui Yun's wedding dinner on Saturday, then my darling god-daughter Mindy's very first birthday on Sunday! And of course, the above-mentioned happy couple's big day! No, the happy couple is not imaginary, but rather, they haven't really told a lot of pple yet so have to keep it hush hush. Anyways, so happy! And of course, there's also our proposal anniversary... come 1 May, it'll be one year since Dan proposed to me... and we're going back to where it all began. Really, heaven awaits after the killer-exams! Yoohoo!
Say hi to me and my new moustache!
This little Viet hat is actually a flyer for a Viet rest... damn cool lah...
And here's dearie Mindy! Happy birthday, baby!

One down three more to go!
One sucky paper down, three more to go... just one more week of hell and here comes HEAVEN! I have come to realise how the quantity of studying is not important; it's the quality that counts. I haven't been mugging day and night for my psych paper, but instead, been taking breaks in between studying and taking my time to study. Apparently, it does make it seem easier and I'm not as stressed out as I was studying for the sucky paper yesterday. At least it's over and done with.
Anyways, came online to recheck my exam timetable, all due to someone who triggered me into this paranoid maniac about getting the dates wrong. Wells, glad to say that I've been playing Patapon, so much so that my elbow and right thumb aches. Yay yay! Can't wait for next Friday... Patapon marathon. Muahahaha!

I hate rainy days and stupid $5 slippers!
I now know why I love the sun, constantly looking out the windows in Sheryl's room during today's mugging session, to the amusement of everyone. I HATE rainy days - the cold, wet, filthy feeling u get after walking in the rain, albeit carrying an umbrella, is damn irritating. What else do I hate about it? Well, let's just blame it on a pair of stupid $5 slippers, the wet weather and a super rough surface for ruining my day.
Thinking that I was going to be late for an oh-so-important Physio revision class (which only 4 people attended), I pushed my luck by walking with slightly hastened steps as I made my way up the slope to Blk 5. And along my way, I met Dr John Tan. Said hi and walked quickly past him, hoping not to be caught in an awkward position of being stuck in the lift with him. Lo and behold, right at the top of the slope, when I thought that I'd be safe from the clutches of the slippery ground, I slipped oh-so-graciously, finding myself kneeling on the ground with my knee and toes scraping on the ground upon kneeling. According to Sheryl, Dr Tan must have thought that I'm a crazy person kneeling and praying before going in for my exams.
Anyways, there I am, garang as ever, picking myself up as if nothing happened, and I move on to the lift quickly, furiously pressing on the button. Amidst the fluster and attempt at making my fall less obvious, I failed to realise the extent of my injuries. Until I got to the lift lobby and felt stinging in my knee and toes. And there I am greeted by 2 bloodies toes - super bloodied might I add, plus a freaking bloody Mary red knee. And whilst I was waiting for the lift, from the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow looming in - there he is, waiting to board the same lift as me. Haiz... there's my plan of avoiding being stuck in the lift with him.
Anyways, there's the blow-by-blow account of how I sustained injuries today, as requested by Sheryl who had to get me to do anything but studying to reduce the guilt she feels for sleeping whilst the rest of us studied.
And yes, this I do a day before my first exam paper, which I don't feel particularly confident about. To hell with my GPA. I'm taking a break.

Overwhelmed but Elated
The stork must be working overtime this year... just received news of another incoming baby... congratulations to you guys... though was little surprised at the abruptness of the news.
And yes, I'm still procrastinating in my studying.

Wandering mind
I really wonder if all that I've studied in the past few days are still in my head. In fact, I think I have been just reading blindly, like nothing sticks in my brain anymore. And as usual, I've been thinking about everything else but studying - what to do after the exams in particular. I've even been thinking about how to decorate the house, what to learn to cook first, what to do right after the exams, what to wear to the exam venues and useless stuff like that. I really do need a fresh perspective on studying. Am so glad that this will be the absolute last time I'm going to study for an English paper. After this sem, say bye bye to AS2! Yeah!

Gaming!
Been distracted severely by temptations of late... PSP and Wii are damn bad for someone who has to study for 4 papers.
Patapon is killing me! I can just stay up playing it till like, 3am in the morning and not get sick of it. And when I finally try to hit the sack, the stupid rhythm is stuck in my head... pon pon pata pon, pata pata pata pon, chaka chaka pata pon... and of course, bon bon bonnnn. AIKS! I really have to keep that PSP out of my sight, at least till after exams.
And today? I was supposed to be studying but instead, I've been playing once again... looking at past year papers yesterday was supposed to scare me into studying, but instead, it's gotten me turned off from studying thinking that it's a lost cause, and thus, turned me towards the evil of gaming... Eric just got a Wii and when we live so near each other, what else is there to do but go over and play? Hooked on the fishing game... all of us trying to catch the biggest fish. And the mad sporting competitions going on - tennis, sprinting, table tennis. Whew! Somehow my muscles are aching as much as I would if I played the actual sports. Great way to keep in shape... just waiting for them to get the Dance Revolution mat... then I can go over and harness my dancing skills... and I can then find one day to challenge our class DDR queen, Jac! Haha!

3 Heroes of China
The three heroes of China - 3 great men who fought for what they believed in and for peace and harmony of China... according to a certain Ms Motor-mouth, are...
1. Zhu Ge Li
2. Wang Fei
3. Liu Xue
The best joke I've heard in a loooooooooong time gal! Haha... really wanted to cry when I heard that. I think their ashes burst into flames when she said that.
Anyways, shopping with Dan's mom today was a great break from studying for the stupid Eng paper that I have much difficulty studying for. Glad that first round's over. Now's to make sense of what I've written.
Can't wait for the holidays, as usual. This time, I've decided to spend it on harnesing my cooking skills, with the help of Dan's mom. Hopefully, it'll be a fruitful period of 'training'. Don't worry, I won't make anyone my guinea pig - yet. Except of course, for my loving and supportive husband who'll eat ANYTHING that I cook, right dear?

Motivated
How does one motivate oneself to go jogging? Well, it helps if you have a big dog that needs walking every day and if you're hard-pressed for time, so jogging makes it all faster. Plus, he can help pull you along and encourage you to run faster when you're all tired out towards the end of the run. My best running buddy is officially my dog. What a people person I've turned out to be.
Anyways, speaking of being around pple, was out with class peeps for dinner and desserts after NYGH. Food was not so nice, but company was good, especially the entertainment. I wonder if she knew why she lost... hmmm... still amazes me how she didn't notice when we take her car keys and when people trick her. Oh wells, that's prob how she is and that which makes her amusing to us. UNO was fun and super exhilarating as usual. I can feel my heart beat even faster than being on a roller-coaster ride. I really didn't expect that she'd actually proclaim her love for a guy in the picture so loudly, so much so that I could hear her from where I was, not to mention the people right beside her who got such a shock at her crazy feat. But I think they got that it was a forfeit/dare when they saw us walking out together laughing, and of course, the hoard of PESS-ians laughing outside. Thumbs up for that act man! And I've gotta say, you've still got guts, even though it took u damn long before you carried out the forfeit... but you're still a far cry from the queen of forfeits, beck's lil sis!

Missing Mommy...
It's at times like these when you realise that you're all grown up and have to live your own life - you have to do your own chores whilst tackling with the responsibility of caring for a dog and also school. Exams are such a bitch... can't wait for it to be all over so that I can just slack my days away doing nothing - that's what I need again - mindless aimless days where I can do anything I want, but I'll choose to stay at home and rot. I need a trip to Bangkok for the much needed 2-hr massage too...
Studying for a particular Eng paper is such an arse... I haven't been going to their useless lectures and the useless notes coupled with the book has resulted in a mammoth proportion of things to study. I've never felt this helpless and unmotivated to study... which is why I spent the day doing what I mentioned I shouldn't do previously - cook!
But this time, food was good, just that I cooked like, in epic proportions. I think I cooked enough to raise a hoard of Ethiopian kids for a month - for like just Dan and me. He did suggest asking people over for dinner, but I didn't want to drag others down and let them incur any loss from consuming my food... plus, having to act polite when eating crappy food sucks, so I don't wanna put others in that situation. Anyways, I love the soup though! ABC soup - my fav... cooked with mommy's recipe and for once, tasted like mommy's soup! Plus, my much crazed mushroom dish, which includes 4 types of mushrooms cooked with my fav onions. I was soooo not looking forward to studying when nothing went in after days... so the only thing I looked forward to was cooking.
The only thing that's quite sucky about cooking today? I'll prob be eating the leftovers for the rest of the week...
