MOMMYYYY, IT'S OVERRRRR!!!

HAHA. Do you remember the tagline from Just for Laughs? Love the show, it's so hilarious I always find myself in embarrassing moments laughing away on the bus (alone) because of how funny the show is.

Anyway, EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER! It has been such an agony waiting for this beautiful day to arrive. Studying for the last paper was by far, the most difficult task of the whole exam period because I kept thinking how close I was to this day. Glad it's finally here. Wanted to scream so badly when the invigilator said, Please Stop Writing.

I just got back from Hall. Today was my last day and saying goodbye to my bed and desk was not easy... All the wonderful memories of pigging out with Jacky, watching Criminal Minds together, online shopping together, brushing our teeth and washing our faces together, and a whole load of other daily activities just came flooding back to my mind. I'm gonna miss hall life, my roomie, the convenience of getting to school and most of all just that little space I've grown to love so much.

But, in spite of all these, I guess I still prefer home. It's so much more comfortable and has everything I need. So I'm not that devastated that I can't stay in Hall any longer. Like what my dad said, this season of my life in Hall has come to an end. A chapter is closing, and a new one is beginning. :) I'm glad I had the experience of staying in a dorm, but I'm more than ready to settle back home again. Nothing beats mom's home cooked meals, dad's 24/7 strumming on the guitar (or most recently, tinkering around with the keyboard) and sissy's constant mess.

I'm hungry, I should go rummage through my fridge and find something to eat.

Back! With a pathetic square of Ghirardelli Chocolate. It says on the wrapping- Dark Chocolate 60% Cacao. OOH. Wonder if it's gonna be too bitter. Gonna take my first bite now!

Mhmmmmm. Absolutely delectable. It's very bitter but the rich taste of the Cacao powder simply infiltrates your whole mouth, bringing your taste buds to the highest level of satisfaction. Superb.

Okay, now my square is gone. I'll probably have to go search for more food later.

So about the whole process of moving back. Jason was initially supposed to help my ferry my things back home, BUT, he failed me.

Hahaha, no la. It's just that he had some stuff on in the afternoon so he wanted to push the shifting til evening, but, I decided against that because I would have died if I waited any second longer to get back home. Instead, arranged with Ead for her to drop me off since she was also shifting back home today. This was our plan up until after packing, we both realized we had TOO many things to fit her car. Haha.

At this juncture, I need to pause and say that Rach and Ead helped me sooo much today! I would not have made it back home alive with all my GUNK if it hadn't been for their help. Rach singlehandedly cleared out my whole desk area, including cupboards and drawers, whilst I very clumsily tried to pack the clothes in my wardrobe. She is an angel!!!

Then they both helped my carry the 15 bags, one mop and pail, one standing fan and one flexible shelf from my room all the way down to the car park. That's three flights of stairs (six in total if you count going up and down), and about four times heading back to my room to grab the stuff. Awesome friends to the max. Love them!

So since Ead's car was packed, I decided to call a cab. Again, they self-sacrificially helped me load the stuff onto the cab and I was soon on my way home. When I reached back, the cab driver helped me unload everything and now my stuff is occupying the whole entire living room. Tmr I shall tackle the GUNK!

Alrighteys, I'm gonna watch Grey's Anatomy now. So in love with the show!!! :D

It's pouring outside. I feel so clean and warm and fuzzy being home! I missed home way too much.

TOODLES.

Okay back to blogging again!

Hitting the books/notes for the exam period has been such a treacherous journey, I can't wait for all this to end. First year has been good but I can do with the four-month long break. In fact, I'm really looking forward to it! :D

It's funny yet sad but I don't seem to have the motivation to study Genetics for my paper this Wed. ARGH! There are some stuff which I think is so easy I don't have to memorize them at all, but then when I try to do questions I realize I'm not quite able to regurgitate all the points that I'm supposed to- so I know deep down inside that I haven't quite learnt those 'easy' bits well enough, yet. BIG SIGH. Why I'm not motivated by this scary fact is a great mystery indeed...

Caught this on someone's FB account which I think is super hilarious-

"Someone once said that 'studying' comes from the blending of 'students' and 'dying'.
What about 'studied'? " Go figure.

I can't wait for the hols to come because I have a great long list of things to accomplish:

1. French Lessons (Highly recommended by my beloved sister)
2. Read Chinese books. (My mandarin sucks, I have to improve on it)
3. Prawning, fishing, crabbing. (I think it's important I get in touch with nature)
4. Farm stay/Kelong Stay. (Same reason as above. HAHAHA. I know, I know...)
5. Cook/ Learn new recipes. (I really enjoy cooking, really)
6. Watch Dvds, movies, drama serials. (I love following drama serials)
7. FINISH DRIVING LESSONS. (Self-explanatory)
8. Pack my wardrobe, get rid of the old. In comes the new! Whoopee! :)

I'm really excited to get to doing all these things. I want to visit the Night Safari too!!! YAY.

And of course, hang out with that special someone who's currently in Thailand bashing through the jungles...

Alright, looking at the clock now I realize I have very little time left. Somehow, my motivation has returned! Goody. According to educational psychology, this form of motivation is known as extrinsic motivation which is the motivation propelled by external factors- in this case, it is the fact that if I don't study, I'm not gonna have enough time to cover everything I'm supposed to. Basically, the fear of failing.

Hahaha. Ciao, partners. :)

It's been awhile since I've blogged!

I don't know why I'm even blogging now considering that exams are just round the corner and I have a research paper due SOON. But I guess when you're all wound up, the best thing to do is talk about it. It really does release some stress, ya'knw!


So this research paper that I'm doing is really a great big joke. I mean, the sample size is so small, how accurate can it actually get? Basically, our research paper requires us to conduct a questionnaire for ten people. TEN PEOPLE. That's like a minuscule amount compared to real research! Okay, granted, we're first year newbies so it's technically not a real research and they ARE being kind by limiting our sample size so... I guess I gotta be thankful. :S

Back's aching. Anyone has any idea how I can alleviate the pain? I really dislike salonpas so nope, not gonna use that. Counter pain? Is that good?

School's technically out this week cuz lectures are over and gone BUT i still have a practical this thursday. I love practicals so that's fine:D SUPER DISLIKE the lab reports though...

Okay, that's it. Time's up, gotta head back to work now.

TOODLE DE WOODLES! LOVE YA'LL!
