It's good to have someone to lean on sometimes, especially when you are all alone on board a ship cruising the stormy fates of your life.

Woah. I finished my exams! Haha. K anyway, would have expected myself to blog this right away on Friday, but I was not around. Yep, been quite busy until now. Heh. Post exams activities.
Came back to snooze after that Econs paper to prepare for the night's activity. Cool, our class actually organised a night cycling trip from East Coast up to Changi Village and then back. We had Geylang in our plans, but our time didn't allow it, so yeah, no dao huey and you tiao. Well, there's always next time.
Our cycling was quite, well, eventful. Out of 14 bicycles, 2 of them had tyres punctured. And one of them was my bike. Lol. Yeah, and we were on long Changi road that went behind Changi Airport. You know, the one that can see the planes taking off and landing very clearly? Yeah, that ulu long stretch of road. Yep, so someone (obviously that someone wasn't me) had to endure cycling a punctured bike for quite a bit until we hit Changi Village.
Reached the village at about 3am after 2 hours plus on the road, got ourselves prata and teh tarik by this coffeeshop, and rested there for a bit before setting off. Had to find some petrol station to get the bikes pumped, but the nearest was quite far away, somewhere near TPJC, so we had to send 2 people back to East Coast on taxi. A little mood-dampening, but yeah. I guess we had to do that. Anyway, the rest of us hit the roads, this time choosing to wind through towns and HDB estates to get back to East Coast.
By the time we reached back at 7am, I was dead shagged. Can't say much. Took breakfast at the Mac, hitched a taxi back hall and slept like a log until the afternoon.
Met up with the guys at night for dinner and movie. Dinner was so traditional. NYDC, pasta with ice cream float. Woot. I don't know, with Hui, Tan, Leong, Dau and the rest, we almost always end up in NYDC, but I'm not complaining. Heh.
Harry Potter was cool (remind me I'll have to borrow the book from someone), but please remind me never to agree to Cine front row seats. It's not as bad if it's 2nd row, but the front row simply cannot make it. Yeah, anyway, the movie was darn long, almost 3 hours. By the time we finished we were just in time to catch the last train to Kranji. Yeah, Kranji, it doesn't even extend to Jurong East. The best plan was to get back to Hougang, and get Yi to drive me back Boon Lay. Lol, the original plan was to send everyone home, but turns out everyone wanted a spin in the van. All 6 of us squeezed in Yi's van, got ourselves a bumpy ride to hall. Slacked around in my room, then headed opposite for prata (again) before they left.
Slacked the sunday away gaming.
Ah. Just about summed it up I guess. Whew. Ya, I'm really glad exams are over. Seriously hoping fun days are coming.

I have a lot of pent-up frustration I wanna release. I think it's accumulated throughout the three weeks of exams, and it's finally mounting up. Tomorrow will be the last day of paper, and officially my study nights ended tonight. Right. I don't know why I'm feeling so peeved right now. I should be glad, right? Come on, no more exams after tomorrow. Right, shit.
I'm in the right mind to go get some running done, but I don't want get sweaty and have to bathe again. Damn wasting time. Argh.
Gonna do my laundry, finish up Econs reading, then get some sleep. I'm obviously not in the right state of mind. Shape up, my girl. Think rationally.

Woo. I still haven't start my econs revision. Too slack. I think the last weekend made me lazy all over again. Lol. Ah well, 3 more days to absolute freedom! Wahaha.
Ok, I'm gonna start my studying now. Really.

Woot. Lovely weekend. Relaxed myself after that bio paper.
Cool. Had movie marathon, one after another at different places.
Stayed over somewhere else other than hall.
Enjoyed lazing on bed in the mornings.
Finally did some gaming after so long.
Heh. Sounds as if exams are already over for me, but nah. Come friday it's gonna be my last paper Econs, and it'll be all over for this semester.
Can't wait. Wahaha.

Well I'm trying to reassure myself. I hope I haven't been feeding myself with glass all these years. You'll never know.
Am I invisible?

Woot! It's finally Friday! Woohoo! Never feel so good before an exam. Bio paper's later in the afternoon, and I can't wait for it to finish. 5 pm, and we are FREE!
Wahaha.

Cool. On special request by *ahem* someone, I decided to blog this small but er, sordid event of my life. Please, if you are eating while reading this, or do not feel like puking over your computer, please leave it as that. You have been forewarned.
Anyway, carrying on.
Yeah. I finally shitted yesterday. Lol, yes, as in literally shitted. You know, the brown brown things that you empty into the toilet bowl almost everyday? Ah. You get the idea.
Well, turns out I haven't been able to do a smooth operation for a few days, and I finally panicked yesterday. Had been trying to take in food that will make my bowels move more fluidly. That ranged from laska to banana milkshake, then finally papaya milkshake. Woo, that did the job nicely. Heh. I don't know if it is really just the milkshake itself, or the strange combination of food that got me going, but yep. Hehe. And I've gotta thank that *ahem* someone for the special recipe of papaya milkshake. Not bad huh.
So peeps, next time you constipate, before you try the doctor, get yourself a papaya milkshake. Lol.
Laters.

Hmm. You know I try to keep myself and my blog PG, but sometimes when you feel screwed up, and there's simply no other word to describe that kind of feeling, you have to say it.
Yeah.
Today's paper was shitty. I think no matter how hard we prepare for it, we wouldn't have expected anything like it. No tutorial questions on it, no extra materials to help us. Damn screwed.
Well, to keep things as clean as possible, all I felt when I came out of the hall was that I was cold, hungry, and I just been screwed pretty bad. Worse paper ever. Hmm.
Ah. Get over it. Bio on Friday, and it's party time!

It's my third post commenting on Blogger. I have to say, Blogger sucks, loading time sucks, but I'm stuck with it. Think of the archives. If Blogger should die on me someday, I curse with all my heart.
But anyway.
Hmm, recently been blogging more and more.
And it's a lazy saturday. I know I gotta study, but currently I'm waiting for lunch. No bother. Gives me more time to slack a bit. Yeah, excuses. Heh.
Lazy to blog more.

I hate blogger. Recently it just refuses to load.
Anyway, woot, it's finally friday. 3 papers down, 3 more to go. Maths was crap, MEB was crap, Physics was... moderately fine. Lol.
And I was so worried about Physics. Yeah. Crap. We didn't have quizzes, so this exam was a make it or break it thing, and I don't particularly feel like retaking Physics the next semester. So yeah, panicked over Physics, and because we didn't have the irritating quiz, we didn't know our standards, we didn't know what kind of questions the irritating professors will set. Ah. Herein comes the problem. So we studied like mad. (It was mad enough for me, I guess.)
Got cheated of course. Paper was A level standard. Crap. Anyone with A level Physics background could do it. I think the people without background would be a little disadvantaged, but they'll manage fine. Seriously, a lot of people finished the 2 and a half hour paper within 1 and a half hour.
That doesn't mean I'll score la, but at least I can confirm I don't EVER need to take Physics again. Wahaha.
Cool. Another 2 papers next week, and I can slack around a bit until my last paper.

Ah. Finally blogger loads itself. I was about to tear my hair over it.
Anyway, short update about Monday's maths paper. Screw it. End of update.
Ah. Tomorrow's MEB paper. (Technically, since now it's past midnight, I should say MEB's later, but screw it. I haven't sleep = the day haven't passed.) You know, that one I screwed the first quiz? Yeah. That one. Yeah, and now I have to buck up a little to patch up the marks. Yeah. Getting a bit of jitters over it, but I guess I'll scrape through. Just need a pass will do. Hmm.
Oh yeah, gonna meet up with Xin and Ven tomorrow. Cool, I'm finally meeting them, but all because they wanted to meet a certain someone. How unfair. It was originally cancelled because they said Boon Lay's too far for them. Didn't want to meet me. Then I casually mentioned I might bring a friend, and they go nuts. Suddenly Boon Lay didn't seem so far. Friends huh? Yeah. My friends rock. I know. I love my friends. (Just in case you didn't catch the sarcasm. Yes, you caught it.)
Ah well. Gonna sleep slightly earlier tonight. Laters.

It's how fast, you know. Really. Tomorrow it's the start of exams for me, as well as all those A level people. Maths paper, so I'm not that jumpy over it.
Quite lethargic today, and I'm not sure what overcame me. Just felt tired from all the accumulation of things this past week.
Had been studying like mad. (Ok, not really mad, but consistently I guess.) Burning all those midnight oil lamps, going all the way to 7 in the morning. Think we are all crazy, my class and I. Mad.
Heard disturbing news from overseas. Not keen to talk about it.
And I was trying to adapt to my crazy behaviour which I developed all of a sudden. Ask my hall mates, they'll verify. To which I have not much of an explanation for it... Heh.
Anyway, I'm gonna sleep early for once tonight. Not gonna screw up the only paper with I have high hopes for getting an A. The rest of the modules... I just hope I can pass mediocrely. I know, I'm a slacker. I just wanna graduate with the most common results. Ah. Whatever.
Updates later in the week.

I swear I saw this very gigantic mosquito, and it bit me on the neck, and now it has become one bright patch of red clot.
Really. And I think no one will actually believe my story. Lol.

Ahh. Let a few days slip me by without even thinking about blogging.
So vexed with studies. I know everyone is, so that goes without saying. My roomie is, my classmates are. I don't know, maybe it's just the general feeling, but sometimes it's really hard to get me so frustrated over something, especially studies. I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Damn crap. Feeling not good today. Yaya, who'd feel good sleeping at 7.30am in the morning to wake up at 12.30 later?
This few days has been a roller-coaster ride for me I guess. Not as in I'd puke at those kind you know, as in, like normal people would have felt I guess. Enjoyable? Fun? Haha. It's just a metaphor la. Whatever. Anyway, I'm really glad the past week has has been the way it has been, even though I woke up with a not-so-good mood today. Just doing some recollections now.
Don't think I'll wanna blog so much today.
Laters.
