Totally screwed up my paper today but guess what, I don't really care. I just want to finish the exams soon...and that's tomorrow. Totally didn't know that there was 3 essays to write till like 15minutes before the exam. Yes, I am an extremely studious person as you can see. =D

My answer for the first question was "Obviously lar" but obviously I couldn't write that down. Didn't really know how to support my answer though. This is what happens when I try to study a semester's work in 3 hours. Whee~

Second question was bad. Let's just say that I'm totally not cut out for business.

Third question was the best, as in I knew how to answer, but there wasn't enough time. Spent too much on the first 2 irritating questions.

I know that I'll pass but let's just hope that I pass with a decent grade. Whee~

Got back project A and B and test C today. Project A sucked big time and I was wtf-ing when I read through the commentary given. Project B was so-so but I still wtf-ed at the commentary. Test C was ok. Yup, shall go eat my Oreo Mcflurry now. Bye~

I can't wait for the exams to be over...although they just started today. =D

JS3208 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Phew~ It was kind of sucky to take an exam while you're coughing like mad. My throat doesn't feel like as it it was stabbed now. It just feels freaking ticklish...that kind that no matter how many times you cough, you still feel like coughing. Boo.

Anyway, hy bought this for me~!

Does anyone find the above packaging familiar? If you do then you must be a fan of Crayon Shinchan as well! Whee~ I never knew that they actually sold this lor.

Like every kiddy food product, there was a free sticker that came with it. There's like 45 different patterns. OMG, how to collect all?! Will go broke before I manage to do that.

Apparently this biscuit is quite delicious(I wouldn't know because I'm not supposed to eat anything that will irritate my throat any further), so if you want to try them, go Daiso and buy them now! $2 only~!!! Cheap cheap!!! (Ok, I shall stop sounding like a Daiso fan from now on, although I am one.)

Two more papers to go before I set off for Korea. Quick end already, stupid exams.

Exams...arrgh!

Exams start tomorrow. I'm like so effing dead because I've not studied for any paper yet. Can someone help me pretty please?

Then again, wtf am I doing here? I should really be studying right now although my eyelids are starting to droop down and my brain is not absorbing any information, unless they're non-examination stuff. Oh, and I think that I'm falling sick. Throat infection is back and my mum just had to entice me to eat the so-freaking-aromatic chicken pie that she bought. Of course, I succumbed to temptation and my throat feels like as if someone just stabbed me with a knife and tickled my wounds with a furry teddy bear. =(

Ouch.

Chou beri busy week

Have been chou beri fucking busy this week. This week was seriously hell for me, the 18th level somemore. Let's see how my week went.

Monday: Had to go for the korea trip briefing after class. I just realised that almost half of my tour group is made up of middle-aged people who are not very matured.

Tour guide: (In Mandarin) I will now....(whatever, what he said wasnt important in this anecdote.)
Man: (In English) Sorry but I cant understand Mandarin.
Tour guide: (In English) Oh ok, that's fine. I will speak in English then....
Woman: (In Mandarin) I cant understand English.
Tour guide: Erm...
Man's wife: Why not you speak in both languages then?
Tour guide: Erm...that will take too long.
Man: (In English) Never mind, let's take a vote. Who can understand English here?
Woman: (In Mandarin) Eh! It's not fair lor.
Tour guide: Okay okay, I'll try to talk in both languages.

My god, what language is the tour guide going to speak in during the tour itself?! I sense that there will be some interesting drama on the tour though =D

There's like one bad thing that I cant stand this tour group. Many of them were LATE for the briefing. The briefing was supposed to start at 6.30pm but no one arrived on time. It's not a Chinese wedding dinner for goodness sake! I had to leave at 7pm because I had work to do and when I left the room, I complained out loudly to my mum, "Walau eh. Those people are irritatingly late lar! What's wrong with them seriously..." Then, after saying that, I realised that the couple who walked passed me, and obviously they heard my speech, was from my tour group. That means that they were like for a freaking...HALF-AN-HOUR. They better not be late during the tour or I'll give them hell.

Night was spent preparing the presentation slides for translation and linguistics. Slept at 3am.

Tuesday: Had translation presentation and Korean class. Night was spent rushing out my linguistics paper and writing the draft for the JS2224 paper. Slept at 4am.

Wednesday: Linguistics presentation went well. Phew~ Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks(yes, I know that this show was out ages ago.) before continuing the JS2224 paper with hy. Had to study for my final French test too. Slept at 4am again.

Thursday: Woke up at 7.30am and my head felt like as if it were going to burst or something. Tried to do some last minute French mugging before I headed off to the classroom. I like it how teachers say that students must be on time and then they themselves show up late. Not blaming my teacher because she was only late this time round but just saying in general. The class seriously thought that she cancelled the test and was planning to celebrate when she walked in. Finished the paper in like 20mins partly because I didnt really know how to answer some questions. Took a short nap and after waking up, nobody else had finished lo!!! Anyway, handed in my paper and went for lunch.

Dont ask me why but hy started writing out Shuuchishin's lyrics on the whiteboard during lunch.

Koide Keisuke, again by hy.

French oral went surprisingly well though...erm...at least I thought so lar~Haha. Had Korean class after French and on my way to class, I got so attracted to this bag that I stopped over at that shop to look at it. Needless to say, I was late for class :D

Night was spent...writing JS2222 essay. So once again, slept late but this time round, 5am.

Friday: Woke up early to finish up the referencing part of the essay. I hate referencing :( Rushed to school to print it out and dumped it into the teacher's mailbox. Today was so freaking hot and I seriously thought that I was going to melt.

Wanted to eat the student's meal at Jack's place today but couldnt find the menu anywhere so my mum helped me ask the waiter about it.

Mum: Hi, do you have the student's meal menu?
Waiter: Mam, student's meal is for students.
Mum: -_____________- (Of course I know that student's meal if for students only lar! WTF.)

Okay, my mum didnt say WTF. I added it in. :D

My beef pasta was soaked in oil la! Damn disgusting. Every mouthful was like full of oil. Couldnt finish it because I really felt like puking 1/4 way through.

The dessert made up for it though. Mango and chocolate ice-cream. Super-duper yummy but I couldnt finish it though. The oil from the main course took up too much space in my stomach.

To reward myself for working so hard this week, I went SHOPPING~ Bought a new cardigan and some leggings~And this pair of earings from Citigems. Shopping with my mum rocks...because I dont have to pay a single cent. :D

Anyway...one more essay to go!!! My goodness~Shall start on it after I continue to reward myself by watching the Spring doramas. Jya!

Touring around NUS

Toured around NUS for the first time and almost died walking. Well, you would too if you've been walking for like what...2~3 hours? The weather was freaking hot somemore but it was quite fun though, bringing 2 Japanese students around. The funniest part was when we were walking through Dr. Morita's office in the JS Department. Dr. Morita was having a consultation with Kyohei, one of my classmates from linguistics, and when we walked past, both of them actually stood up to exchange greetings with the Japanese students. So cute!!! Normally teachers will be damn pissed when you interrupt their consultation sessions but Dr. Morita was different :D

Fulin and I first brought them to tour around Arts and I'm proud to announce that I've discovered a few shortcuts in Arts that I've never known of. Whee~ Shorter walking distance to classes in the future! Next, we crashed a Sociology lecture and because Take wanted to sit in for a while, I brought Yayoi to the library for a short tour while Fulin accompanied Take. I originally wanted to write something about someone in the library but considering that she's my friend's mother, I shall refrain from doing so.

Next up was the Coop where they actually bought some NUS souvenirs back~ I never knew that NUS had such cute souvenirs...not going to buy them though. Hee. Went to the UCC(this abbreviation keeps reminding me of the coffee brand) next and there were like tons of cute little Malay kids there, preparing for some performance or something.

Yayoi left first because she had to do her homework. I seriously hope that she did not get lost on the way back.

Fulin, Yayoi

We later then went to the Raffles Biodiversity Museum. There were like lots of girl and boy scouts there who were doing museum tours or something...since when did we have this?! Then again, there were too many of them and it was quite irritating because they were blocking lots of exhibitions.

Wowie~ Elephant bone!!!

I do not believe it but we actually went to NUH next, along with Fulin's friend, Alvin(I think). NUH looks more like a shopping mall than a hospital. There was 7-11, Mr Bean and gift shops there. Walked around the gift shops for a while and I saw lots of cute stuffed toys there!!!

Qizai! Then again, this qizai looks fake to me because it's hair colour is too yellow. Still cute though. :D

Intellectual hippo.

Me, Fulin.

Me, Fulin, Take. After the NUH tour, I parted ways with them and met up with my mum and sister for a seafood dinner. Damn expensive I must say for 5 dishes only. Then again, it was quite delicious...but not delicious enough to justify the price though.
