I'm Beat!

3 papers in 3 consecutive days; I am mentally drained.

Finally, a well needed short break of 4 days till my last paper dawns on me.

I hate finals.

No, actually I think I just hate PREPARING for finals. Of course, exams are of good intention cause we do need to be tested on what we've been taught to see if we are learning. How else will we know if we've learnt, right?

Anyway, I sat for my business law paper today and now I'm having second thoughts of majoring in that subject. No, paper wasn't tough but the time constraint makes it tough despite it being an open book exam.

But, I shall let bygones be bygones.

See where I've circled...that's the space I have left on my bed to sleep.

Well, this is how my bed went from Queen to Single, and how I ended up sleeping with my books and notes in my bed. I eat, sleep, make lov (No, let's not go there.), breathe Business Law. Yeah, those were all my books/notes on Business Law that I brought into the exam hall. Notice the pile piles of "junk" on the floor? Oh trust me, you wouldn't want to know my bed looks like underneath. Darn it, now I've got another item to add on my things-to-do-after-finals list: spring-clean room. Maybe I ought to shift that to the top of my list.

Anyhoo, brain cells are depleting and eye bags are forming, I'm turning in.

Toodles.

'Please Sir, I Want Some More.'

The people who whine about being poor are stuffed with so much greed. (Generally speaking.)

They are always yearning, wanting, craving for the best, for the largest, for the greatest, for the most luxurious and for more. "...all you people want is more morE moRE mORE MORE!" as Chris Crocker would have said, but with much inelegance.

So here's the thing, read my lips when I say 'life is unfair'.

Surprise surprise. NOT.

If God wanted to make the world fair, He would have. But He didn't.

So, there'll always be some richer than us, some poorer than us.

And we are left to wonder for what reason He made the world as such.

Nonetheless, we, the human civilization, have no say in the works of God.

Hence, we can only continue living the way we do in this unjust world, whether we like it or not.

Rumination

Life is short.

Without a doubt.

19 years have passed me by and my accomplishments don't measure up.

Regretting will only give me more time to reflect on the past and less time to think about the future.

I am 19, and getting older.

And 'time' has been anything but my most cruel enemy.

Lost in Transalation, Literally

I just hung up on a call.

An international call, I think, cause the number showed 0000.

And from that call, I realised how bad my Mandarin is. But that's besides the point.

Anyway, I got a call and the person on the other line started talking in Mandarin. I'm guessing she must have been calling from China cause her accent was really strong and she started asking me a bunch of questions that left me dumbfounded. It was hard enough trying to make sense of what she was asking, but the whole time, she left me playing catch up. She spoke like a bullet train! And I could only pick up on a word or two.

It felt weird speaking to someone I do not know in Mandarin, but I started to get suspicious when I told her that she may have gotten the wrong number and she just casually replied, 'No. We're just doing a survey.' (Yes, she spoke in mandarin and if I'm not wrong, that was what she said.) So she went on to ask questions about whether I would prefer studying in the country or outside the country (I think... Like I said, the whole time I had no idea what the hell she was talking about.). Then she asked something about casinos....and football fields...and god knows what else! I simply answered casino (cause that was the only word I understood) not knowing what the question was. And then it all got too fishy when she asked for my name. So I said in English, 'Sorry. I don't understand you and I'm not giving you my name!' and hung up.

Now I feel foolish for even going along with the "survey". Maybe it was a scam. Maybe she was trying to track down my number! But for what??

Okay. Now I'm getting paranoid.

p/s: If only my Mandarin wasn't so atrocious......

Don't Look Back, Leave It All On The Dance Floor

I decided against blogging about my ballet exam experience.

Who wants to know anyway, especially when it fell vastly short of my expectations.

As I am refrained from swearing (cause my mum reads my blog), thus ranting about my frustration will not be at all therapeutic. (There really should be an option 'hide post from snoopy mum'.)

Nonetheless, my conclusion reads: an anti-climactic end after 14 years of ballet.
