fulfilling

Phwoar! Photo overload!! Since too many things happened in the past few days, I shall summarise them by using photos haha. But I can definitely say that I had a great time!

Mon: First up, S27 outing! Ok la, not really S27 cuz only half the class turned up -.- But nonetheless, it was still fun haah.

Outside Vilag'e (however you spell it)
The Taka Christmas tree. I seriously think they re-use the same tree every year haha.

Jie meis! Simin, me, Alaric.
Tues: WWF outing! (minus Nina and Jan) We caught "The Golden Compass" first, and I must say, the movie is overhyped. It really isn't that nice. Mostly special effects and all.
The 3 Stooges.
My fav study buddy! Not Pei, Starbucks haha.
The random acts we do.

Wed: Museum(s) with Shuqi and Hongsheng! Qi and I went to the Mint Toy Museum (bet you didn't know this place existed!) while waiting for hs, and we kinda lost our way haha. I think we asked 3 different pple for directions, and we still couldn't find it. Cuz the entrance is kinda obscure so we walked past the place like a few times before we finally realised it was there haha. Anyway it wasn't much of a big deal. Basically just shelves and shelves of toys haha. But it was cool to see what my parents played with when they were kids. Toys then were really basic, yet had detailed craftmanship, compared to those nowadays.

Then, after that we went to the National Museum to check out the Greek exhibits from the Louvre thing going on. It was quite cool, and there's so much to see (and read)! Too bad we didn't have time to see everything in detail. I really wanted to read all of the explanatory notes next to the exhibits :(
The Christmas tree at Raffles Hotel. We went in to ask for directions haha. And felt really out of place. Oh well, maybe next time when we're tai tais, we'd go back there for high teas wahaha!
The toy museum. Shelves and shelves of toys.

The earlier (and uglier) versions of Mickey Mouse. I'm so glad they made him cuter haha. This version looked quite scary haha.
Funky China dolls.
Arty farty picture. Maybe I should take up photography as a hobby haha.

Popeye the sailor man! Gee, he's so lovable haha
Tintin, my childhood fav haha.
Another arty farty picture taken by yours truly.
And Shuqi's failed attempt to do the same haha.

The National Museum.
Some art installation thingy. It's supposed to depict a world without trees, as a result of global warming. Like everything will melt. Like the pillars in the background, where the corners have "melted off" haha. Cool stuff.
So yeah, we had a great time being tourists in our own country, and pretending to be intellectual haha.

Then today, it was shopping with my Mum! Woots. Mango is having a sale! It's crazy I tell you. We had to queue to get in to the Shaw outlet?? And it was mayhem inside. Crazy women rummaging through heaps of clothes, with their men standing together forlornly in one corner of the store haha. Nevertheless, all that rummaging paid off and we bought loads of stuff! I think I settled all my shopping today haha.

Ok, gotta go sleep soon. Driving tmr! And it's driving me mad. I dunno why I always make stupid mistakes that result in immediate failures. This sucks. I really wanna pass!

And you're full of facts

But not things that could add up to words

Think about meaning more as an after word

wheeeeeeeeee

THE END IS FINALLY HERE!!

Woohooo!! Ok I have alot to say so I'll just give a brief summary haha

1. Boran's post-exam celebration: Casuarina's prata was good yesterday. The zoo outing was fun too! The penguins were super cute! My fav animal haha. And the sea lion reminded me of my dog haha. It's just too bad that it had to rain (and heavily, too). So we had to run around with umbrellas. We even watched the animal show under our umbrellas ("ella, ella, ella" sorry, I can't help it haha)! Dinner at Ang Mo Kio was good too :) (though I wish we'd have more outings in the East hah). In conclusion,

2. Everything looks brighter after your exams :D

3. Despite the *(#$#*^$ construction going on behind my house, I had a good sleep today! It's time to spend more time with my wonderful bed hahah.

4. Time to catch up with friends! Goodness, I MISS ALL OF THEM. It feels like years since we last met up hah.

5. Read, read, read, read, read.

6. GET A TAN.

7. I need a haircut, and eyebrow trim haha. And something to control my pimple outbreak :(

8. Try to lose weight haha. TRY.

9. Pack. Sigh. And settle my pre-term accommodation. And buy alot of nonsense.

10. Heroes ended already!!! WHY. Damn that stupid writers' strike. But oh well, I still have tons of shows to watch, like Grey's Anatomy, Pushing Daisies and 30 Rock haha.

11. Christmas is here :D I'm still deliberating on whether to put up the Christmas tree at home. Maybe when the mood strikes me haha. But I seriously think a tree really helps alot in adding some festive cheer at home hah.

12. Drive! Or rather, cram driving lessons. IT'S DO OR DIE.

13. I have lots to say, but the things I really wanna say I can't (and won't) say here. So there.

Ok, it's time to run off for lunch, and Parkway later haha. I think I'd really really miss Parkway when I'm in the US.

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

diner dash

"Diner Dash" will be the cause of my downfall.

Hahaha but it's FUN!!! And damn addictive. Ooh I love brainless games. But it's stressful ok!

I hope my mum will get a Wii hahaha!! Then I'd never have to study again :D But of course, she wouldn't, for the same reason.

I am all the days
That you choose to ignore

massacred

Yesterday's paper was a massacre!! A murder of mass proportions!

I was happily skipping questions till I realised there weren't any left to skip haha. The only things that were going through my mind were, 'I dunno, I dunno, I DUNNOO!!!' before they gradually turned into a steady stream of vulgarities. How sad and disheartening.

But life goes on. And the exams must continue. The mugging can't stop! Go, Ade, go!

Oh and I'm beginning to develop this unhealthy dependence on coffee. Crap. I need to wean myself off after the exams.

And if it takes shit to make bliss,
then I feel pretty blissfully

maybe we're fools

4 words: BECAUSE I HAVE TO.

#$#*(@&#^*(@!#

There's a certain thrill in going somewhere totally foreign and unfamiliar to you. Well, to me at least. A place where no one knows you, and you can pretend to be someone else, or be yourself, whichever goes. Sigh, such are the small things I find joy in haha.

I don't know if I want my exams to end quickly or not. Cuz once they end, it means I'm leaving already. And I don't know whether to look forward to my departure, or dread it. OMG. As if constantly worrying over whether I can finish studying isn't enough. I worry too much. Mugging only makes everything worse. Mugging turns me into this sad, depressed, and lonely woman. Haha sucks right.

Ugh, I should seriously stay away from the computer. AWAY FROM ME, EVIL MOUSE!!

And maybe we're fools, who knows
Who knows, who knows

humpty dumpty

I think my feelings are in a state of suspension. I'm neither happy nor sad. I just am.

I'm too tired to feel anything I guess. Tired from mugging. This mugging that never ends.

Btw, the show 'Pushing Daisies' is nice. Go watch. After your (my) exams.

All of the king's horses and all of the king's men
Couldn't pull my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two

Cos all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give my heart to you

readings!

I think I know why I don't like to study Political Science - the FREAKING readings! The whole stack of them!

At first I thought, "Oh you know, they're just readings. Shouldn't be too much of a problem." I WAS WRONG. Omg. Readings aren't supposed to be pages and pages (and pages and pages and pages..) of indigestible crap. I don't understand why, if those authors can write in Queen's English and write words like 'tautology' (???), they can't put their ideas across in simple English. And the thing is, they go in circles before presenting their main argument (which explains why our readings come in stacks). So sometimes, you have to read a whole paragraph several times before you finally understand what the author is trying to say.

Also, most of the time, the articles tend to contradict each other. I know the lecturer is trying to get us to see a concept from different perspectives, but HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ONE TO BELIEVE IN??

Argh!! I don't know what I'm reading!! And I don't know if I can finish that whole stack in time!

I think I'm destined to be a Business student haha. Can you imagine if I were in Arts? I'd suffocate under all the readings I have to do. So contrary to belief, Arts students aren't slack haha.

[The fact that I'm blogging everyday means something.]

Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
