Sex Lies and Smurfs

I’m not in the festive mood really. Strange, since Christmas is my favorite holiday. Haven even got a santa hat yet. If I’m not gonna wear one this year, I’ll be breaking years of tradition! Started clearing out my old text books.. am selling all of them, except the 2 religion texts, so let me know if you need anything. From marketing to computing to theories of communication; you name it I have it. Publications and graphic design texts are taken though.

Some pics from the KL trip.. silly pictures, none with monuments. Oh.. I bumped my head really hard on a tap just before Culture Industries examination. Here’s a pic. I was so paranoid I paid $25 for a doctor’s assurance that I don’t have brain damage. He didn’t even give me medicine. Guess that’s what gave me the culture industries A. I usually don’t do well for essay based examinations.

Back to KL…. Everyone loves Paul Frank! If only we had one of these in Singapore.

A&W, god’s gift to Malaysia.

And this was at the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Think I was trying to make contact with alien life forms.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join em!

As I was blogging this entry, a mosquito bit my ass. I was sitting on the bed, with my Neutron propped against my knees. Sneaky lil bastard. Both cheeks somemore.

All I want this Christmas, is for Santa to drop me a huge sack of money. Santa sized sack please?

I’ve also taken a fancy to a Hi-Fi / DVD player. 169 only. Anyone?

CAP: 4.13

If I S/U the two Bs, it should bring my CAP to 4.18. Right? Thank God I did well for my cores.

I can’t wait for this! It’s supposed to be released on the 18th! That’s TODAY, or tomorrow if its the US time zone!

Hello there. It’s been a long while since I last had a decent post. From time to time, I struggle with the meaning of my existence and adopt a reclusive lifestyle in a bid to discover the true essence of my very being here on Earth.

Just joking. During term, I was drowning in school work, tests and exams. 

School had been a really tiring one this semester. Since I was taking 2 electives and 3 cores, it should be manageable yea? Since I had 2 S/U options left, it seemed logical to concentrate on my 3 cores and slack off the other 2. Unfortunately, I couldn’t slack for the electives even when I wanted to. I don’t know why, must be canteen food.

I guess forensic science and e-commerce were interesting modules to take, but not easy to do well for. I’ve never sat for such annoying multiple choice exams. A looks like B. B looks like C. C looks like D. What wait? There’s an E? I swear people who do well for NUS multiple choice exams should go for Who Wants to be a Millionaire. 15 questions and 3 life lines, easy peasy. The trick I use for attempting these hellish MCQ exams is simply to color nicely within the ovals. I’d like to think that the computers ‘marking’ these sheets come with compassion.

The 3 core modules were pretty ok, except for that one which was a complete waste of time and the other which I was confused about even after the semester ended. Ironically, I couldn’t stop writing for the examination. So much to crap, so little time. Exams should totally be type written.

There was some form of ‘leaked’ CAP this morning. If the results are accurate, I’ll probably do better this semester; enough to see a .1 increase. It’s strange, really. I’ve been doing generally well for my assignments, but I didn’t have the mood to study hard this semester.  I’ll just have to wait till the 23rd to be sure. Please don’t spoil Christmas for me. 

And of course, with a slightly above average CAP, people around me are finding it a waste that I’m not doing honors. The thought of fighting for modules already puts me off, and writing more research papers…. that’s almost comparable to plucking my eyebrows. So I guess it’s goodbye NUS.

So now the semester’s over, I’ve been bumming at home. Drowning in dust. We’re currently doing some massive repair works and getting a new paint job. If you’re on the PIE heading towards the Eunos exit and you see a pink house with scaffolding and a green net over it, THAT’S MY HOUSE. 

Naturally, the house’s in a mess and there are men walking around doing repair works. Sometimes they are outside my window. With no curtains, it does feel kinda weird. I feel.. like NAT… our hamster in his cage.

So much to pack, so many DVDs to watch, so many games to play, so many books to read. 24 hours a day just isn’t enough. 

I haven blogged about it much, but I’m in love.

With my iPhone.

I’ll post up a screenie of my iPhone. And my trip. And my house. Oh, and my hospital stay earlier this year.

On a side note, everyone’s going crazy over Twilight. What’s the big deal huh? I thought the movie was kinda amusing actually. Wasn’t that fantastic, but the baseball scene totally kicked ass.

I’ll try to blog more often, but for now, it’s back to Dexter. It’s such an awesome show! And for you people who still read this, errr.. check back soon?

Goodbye Singapore!

I haven been sleeping well for the past couple of months. I’ve gotten you out of my life, but you just won’t leave my dreams alone. Nightmares rather.

I fall asleep exhausted, go through an emotional torture in my sleep, and wake up even more exhausted. It’s always the same kinda dreams, just dealt to me in various plots and forms. Now I’m thankful even if the dreams last shorter than they usually do.

I don’t think about the past, I don’t think of you. I deleted traces of you from Neutron and I’ll prolly go back and throw out whatever stuff that’s linked to you.

I think I’ll need to see a shrink if this continues.

Irritating thing to do on a beautiful Thursday morning

feel safe

Look at the tee Lau Kay’s wearing!

Your Existing Situation

Acts in an orderly, methodical, and self-contained manner. Needs the sympathetic understanding of someone who will give her recognition and approval.

Your Stress Sources

The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as she has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to her self-sufficiency because of the restraint she normally imposes on herself. Since she wants to demonstrate the unique quality of her own character, she tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal her fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticize her behavior with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference she really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Conditions are such that she will not let herself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Your Desired Objective

Has exaggerated demands on life which are concealed behind specious rationalization and cautious behavior. Wishes to impress others with her achievements, but camouflages this desire and is inclined to be covert.

Your Actual Problem

The unsatisfied desire to be respected, to stand out from amongst her friends, is causing some anxiety. As a result, normal gregariousness is suppressed and she refuses to allow herself to become involved, or to participate with others in their ordinary activities.

Your Actual Problem #2

Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of her hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. She tries to escape from this by withdrawing and protecting herself with an attitude of cautious reserve. Moody and depressed.
