My courage grew a tiny winy bit

I am glad I did what I did. I realize things aren't always as formidable as what I tend to perceive them to be. I'm glad I made my guts grew a bit in not just one way. Long way to go still.

I endured.

The torment is over. FINALLY. I have been waiting for this day since the start of the semester. A little exaggerated lah. But its still mostly true. Thanks for all the luck from those who wished and encouraged me in one way or another. I must say I have been really lucky in this exam. To think that I could have not recalled so many things, I remembered 60% of those I thought I forgot. Thank God. BUT, that doesn't mean I will be expecting good results because I have been so last minute. Pray hard I don't bao anything.

Now I can officially watch all the tv I want, all the games I wanna play, all the shopping I wanna do, all the sleep I wanna sleep, laze all I want. Yes. Laze all I want!

And straight after my exams, I found a job. Actually the job found me during the exams, but only now can I accept it. Its the same old job I have been doing for the past hols. Plus I got a tiny pay rise. (Finally dared to open my golden mouth..phew~) Need the job to fuel my endless shopping craves. No choice. Can't keep spending my parent's money. Just busted another 40 bucks at Body Shop just now. Because I wanted to get rid of a $10 voucher, I end up buying 3 bottles of shower foam and a bottle of body lotion, the voucher still in my wallet. I think the sales assistant there is quite smart lah. First she told us that getting another item entitles me to a 20% discount. So I went to grab another bottle of shower foam. So now I have 3 of them. Next up, she told us we need another $10 to get 2 stamps (Winnie's loyalty card). So Winnie was forced to get some facial cotton and a Aids Aid coin pouch. See, a $30 bill turned into a $60 dollar one. Had a hard time at the store finding something to buy. Moment of folly in a way. Could have just left and save myself 40 bucks!


my goofy bro.. skin like leather-thick.....


The young follows suit....

My greatest horror comes true tomorrow..

Tomorrow is my thermodynamics paper. 10 chapters in all and I have only covered 5 chapters. The time is already 10 pm. Not counting any sleeping hours I effectively have 11 hours left to the paper. I am definitely doomed for tomorrow.

I need a miracle.

Last Paper

With the end of the exams approaching, I'm dreading the release of the results. The best way to deal with it is to go into hiding, hug a pillow and cry, for me at least. Courage in short supply.

Many OTHER things to look after though. Harry Potter is out. Much-needed shopping will be sufficed by the upcoming Christmas sale. Holiday would mean rest, reading books I'm dying to read and finish reading, hanging out with friends, not forgetting, watching television and playing games like there's no tomorrow.

Of course, I mentioned in my previous two or three posts, I "adopted" a cat. The only difference now is I adopted the cat. See, the difference. Haha. IT'S MINE NOW. *evil grin* I seem to have gotten used to calling it "xiao mao". I foresee a problem once it grows up. But nevermind. It shall be called that lah. It will be in my mind a xiao mao forever.

The last paper is Thermodynamics. My most feared subject of all. Catch no ball. Fortunately I have an approximate 4 days to study it.

Anybody has lobang for the new ipod tell me k!! I totally dig it. Haha.

That's all for now. Ciao...

Some recollections

A song I used to like to sing.. especially during a certain period of my life.
Thought of this song while I was in the shower. Hehe.

Goodbye To You

-Michelle Branch-
The Spirit Room

Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star.
