-試験-

Yes yes it's the exam period and i'm halfway through all my papers and yes yes i'm still here.

>_<

3 papers done, thank God. Leaving 2 more! 1 this Friday and the LAST next Tuesday. I see Freedom beckoning me. Helloooooo!! ^-^

Good grief. I thought i would pass out due to fatigue and nervousness yesterday. After Monday's terribly gruelling evening econometrics paper, there was not a single ounce of energy left in me to revise for the next paper. Which was The Money Paper. All the facts that i seemed to have started studying so long ago were all jumbled up in my mangled brain. I was so tired. I couldn't think. I couldn't study. I couldn't concentrate. I prayed and prayed for strength and concentration. But no, i still couldn't study.

I sat at the sofa in my living room with my notes in my hand and yawned goodness knows how many times. The yawns caused tears to roll down my cheeks. You know when you yawn so often you just start tearing?! Haha yup. But after that, the tears were streaming down my face uncontrollably like a broken tap -_- I repeat, i was totally shagged. I am not mad, yet. In case you were wondering, yes i was alone in the living room. After 8pm these days, everyone returns to their air-conditioned rooms. So basically, i was alone in the hot and stuffy living room. Don't ask me why i was sitting there. I think I left the comfort of my room because the bed just looked so tempting.

Hahaha but after the wave of melanchony, i decided to just give up and go to sleep! Hey, crying is certainly a form of stress relief. At the very least, it works for me. In any case i couldn't concentrate so what's the point of feeling miserable and still not be able to study?! I might as well try to get some sleep and try waking up early to study. AND feel happier. Hahaha. So yes that was what i did. Woke up at unearthly hours to revise and slipped in and out of consciousness thereafter. But at least i finished studying all that i wanted to study :)

The library has become my 2nd home lately. BLEH. On a lighter note, exam periods reveal the weird habits of people. Hehehe. I am not the only who roars! Yt does too! WAHAHAHA! And Stella was so freaked out by us she said, "Before you 2 roar can you please warn us first??" Hahahaha! Roaring is a spontaneous act to relieve our pent up fear and frustration!

Listening to Stella talk leaves me breathless. Literally. Because she speaks so fast like a 新幹線 and i'm trying to catch and hang on to every word she says because she is explaining certain concepts. Hahaha and subconsciously, i hold my breath =X It came to a point i was gasping for air that i realised i was holding my breath while listening to her.

Hahaha Mg is pretty much normal. Just that i commented i hear her laugh more often during exam times.

I think the weird ones are mainly yt and i. ROFL. But studying with them has made studying much more tolerable! The laughter during breaks! Oh my! WAHAHAHA!

Today Mg and i were feeling a tad too relaxed and we were roaming about the school before finally settling down at 1145am to open our books :S So much time wasted! But just a little pampering after the strenuous papers that seemed to be jeering at me throughout. But drop that, i shan't elaborate.

Anyway, i'm still pretty much happy now. HAhahaha! Chocs and colours make me a happy girl! ^-^ WheeHeee! And my mum just gave me a bar of Hershey's Cookies and Cream chocolate. Yep yep! Alot of chocoloates in my house lately. Look at the beautiful Hershey's Kissables! Hahaha but i can't say i like to eat them much. Tastes pretty normal =/ But they bring such joy and colours to my otherwise mundane and not to mention, stressful life.

All the best to you my darlinggsss~ We can do it!

And to Mg and YT! You can conquer the evil KKC! WAHAHAHAHA!

-My Moods/Expressions-

The week has come to an end. It's Friday! Which marks the start of our study week. Help, God, HELP! Due to time constraint, this will be a concise entry. Hahaha!

In short, these are the expressions on my face this week!

Monday:

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Friday:

To side track a little, i've been thinking alot about butterflies lately. Social butterflies, to be exact. Flitting about with no place to stay for long. Pros and cons about it but i definitely do not wish to be one. I want a nest to return to. Oh gosh, do butterflies have nests? Oh no they don't. They just find an underside of a leaf and sleep. Normally alone. Hence, we derive the term-social BUTTERFLIES. Flitting around with no place to call their own. Ok random.

A couple of things that get on my nerves: (okay maybe more than a couple)
1) Someone leaving midway in the conversation with absolutely no warning at all. Just standing up and walking away is just plain R.U.D.E. At least say you have to go or something.

2) Please have the basic courtesy to look me in the eye when i'm saying goodbye. Especially since it wasn't me who initiated the conversation.

3) When you're good at something, it doesn't mean i am too. Please do not impose your wishes, thoughts and expectations on me. I am NOT you.

4) There are times when i do not wish to talk. Or maybe it's just you, alright.

-痛いぃ！！-

木曜日、みりょくてきな岡田先生にも一度会った！！＾－＾嬉しい！！しばらく彼に会っていないんから。見たとき、私は 先生に　"岡田先生！”呼んでいた！先生がわたしは分かっているよ！＾－＾ハハ！彼は”おはようございます！”と言った。私も！でも、あの時は、時間がないから。私たちは遅れていたから、おしゃべりの機会がない。。残念ね！！ヘーヘー！*-*

This week ended better than expected. 3 projects were due - Monday, Tuesday and Friday and a test on Monday. But it's all OVER!! ^-^ Strangely, it all felt so long ago.

Recently, i've almost been camping over in school labs due to projects. It didn't feel very good that after a day's of strenuous mental excercise of classes, i had to continue with more mental workout for projects. More often than not, i think i stopped making sense to anyone after 9pm. Hahah, it came to a point YS asked me very tentatively, "are you very tired?" And she continued saying that it was reflected in the report i was typing and the lack of chatter from me after 9pm. HAHAH! But i had so much fun with her when it was just the 2 of us alone. The things we were chatting about make me laughed so hard it actually hurt. And our amusement and frustration mixed together made deciphering another group member's formating much more tolerable.

Econometrics project and test were much smoother. The test was easier than expected but securing full marks would need some divine intervention :) Project was actually due on Friday but we submitted it on Wednesday! WOW! I think this is a first time i submitted a project 2 days early! I really felt a huge burden lifted off my back! The steps out of the lab after printing our report felt so much lighter! I was squealing with delight after we stepped out of that claustrophobic place where i spent countless hours over countless days sharing a chair with Mg, staring at the computer screen. I was defnitely much happier as compared to the past few days with tensions running high, and my temper was threading on the thinnest tight-rope.

People around me have also been displaying similar signs lately- less chatter, less smiles, less laughter, more frowns, more stoic expressions. We are all easily irritable nowadays. Mmm. The slightest thing can ignite the flame in the anger unit. What lives we are leading! How i wish i could just leave Singapore! Yess, i wish to leave Singapore indefinitely. Someone give me a ticket to Eutopia!!

For the first time this week, i went to the gym! My injury from the escaping-from-auntie incident has not healed but i still decided to hit the gym anyway. I still jogged despite the nagging pain in my ankle which was increasing steadily. So i thought shifting my weight to my right foot would make jogging less painful. But i was wrong! While jogging, i tried to shift my attention away from the pain but rather terrifying (or perhaps hilarious??) thoughts passed my mind. I thought of myself visiting the doctor and him telling me how i will not be able to walk normally anymore because i strained my leg too much...and how the hana kimi's (taiwan version) female lead carried on running despite the pain from her bleeding foot... and my injury only paled in comparision! So i could carry on running! HAHAHA. All the silly useless thoughts. So after a while, i decided to walk on the threadmill rather than jog, much to my boredom actually, due to the slow burnt calories count -_-

Okie, hopefully this is a long enough post! Haha, i might not be updating much. Gear has changed to mugging mode! Exams are cominggg!! ファイト！！！

Oh Debs, i received your postcard! Much loves and thanks!! :)

-救星-

The days are passing by so fast that it seems almost surreal. The examination period is merely round the corner and yet the never-ending pile of readings hardly seem to be diminishing. ARGH. Come on Grace!! You can do it!!! Just a few weeks more!! After the submission of projects, it would be total focus on the examinations!! WHOOSH!

Yesterday, i was working on 2 projects and didn't even study. Actually i can't wait to hand in the projects as soon as possible... but of course, we're not exactly done with them. 3 project deadlines next week! :S

Had 日本料理 yesterday. Contented ^-^ I'm an arts student and yet i hardly get to eat my meals in arts!! Seem to be spending a lot of time in science this semester due to the Pharmacy and computing modules.

Econometrics is driving me crazy. Our data set seems inadequate and it's practically analysing nothing. Because everytime we think of a new variable and collected all the data, the tests show no/hardly any correlation. Oh mannn... :( HELP!

After the rather fruitless attempt at the Econometrics project, i had to rush down to work on the Pharmacy project. Lugging so many things around is no mean feat. Hahaha, my whole body ached at the end of the day with all the weight training.

Filming went reasonably well yesterday. With the exception that i was the receiving end of all the mockery and laughter and jest which was all the result of me being coerced into accepting that role! While the other actress looked so quaint and pretty, i was the total contrast. Just to bring out her beauty and poise. How sad :( and i still had to put up with her laughter despite watching that scene for more than 50 times. Everytime that scene was played during editing or that she chose to sneakily watch it herself, she had chortle so hard with laughter (-_-)"'

And the (non-apparent) relevance of my character and her childhood reference left not just me, scratching our heads with curious wonder at the end of the night.

Hahah oh wells. Anyway, Thank God for Zx!! Our 救星!!! Just a phone call and she came to save the 2 damsels in distress. WAHAHAHA! My mum's right. I'm truly blessed with great friends. What more can i say? I loveee you~~ Hahaha, i'm betting zx is cringing with disgust now. She hates all the mushy stuff. But only from us of course, from *ahem* i had think she perfectly enjoys it. Haha! I'd better stop in case she stops liking ME! And zx, i'm just kidding! Hahaha! You're really, truly, a greeeaaatttt friend!! HUGSS! (oh, she squirms whenever we put our arm around her waist because she feels it's 'ticklish' and 'itchy'...hahah!)
