Those wanton ang mohs!
I was walking along crowded Queen Street towards GJ (to study of course) and lamenting on the fact that I can’t be like the people hanging around town with no exact purpose. Then there was this tall, strong-built, good looking ang moh walking towards me. He smiled so I smiled back and SUDDENLY, he collapsed abruptly and rolled right in front of me. There was this loud thud and I froze for a moment. (The phrase ‘sane automatism’ from crim randomly popped up in my mind at that moment) I panicked a lil and I wanted to ask him if he was alright and when I was about to bend down and help him up I saw him…SMILING. I was confused and I realized…it was a darn prank. He got up himself and I was so angry I walked away. After a few steps, I saw his friend at a corner next to a tree holding a camera filming the whole thing. WTH! And he was there chuckling.
......................................
Although its the exams period, I feel like I'm on a holiday. Hah! Maybe because Crim and Accounting papers are over and done with! Lalala Public is on Thursday, and despite Crim ended on Friday, I haven't really started. Even the exchange students seem to be more hardworking than me. Yesterday, we went for dinner and then to the Hobsoners' place till 1 plus am. Needless to say, not much work done. Today, met G at GJ, and coincidentally K was there as well. Haha work completed - 10%. Haha. Haha. I don't know why, but I'm just so happy and high today I cannot keep still. Laughed till dinner, laughed till dinner ended and headed to Esquires (another cafe) to continue studying. Not that productive too.
Just settled down at home and its already...1AM! Damnit, ok I feel a lil of the stress coming in. But well, the thought that the exams are gonna be over in just a few more days....just makes me so...high high high!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Oh! I learned a new phrase today! Calibrated oppression to describe XXXXXXXXX's XXXXXXXXXX. So so so so tempted to do a politics paper next sem.

Randomly random
And they said I was random…but let me tell you what is true randomness…
I had cost and management accounting exam this morning and my friend was supposed to wake me up in the morning and I was supposed to wake my other friend up. My friend texted me at 7plus am but I just continued sleeping… and at 8am I jolted up…not because I was late but because I saw this text: Huiling, I decided not to go Wellington anymore. Haha.
……………………………………….
That crazy ass is nothing but crazy! She booked and paid for her bus tickets to Wellington then to Taupo – a week long trip and she was supposed to leave this morning but she randomly decided to give up on the whole trip! Hahahaha I thought she missed her bus or something but no! She even walked to the bus stop, waited for the bus and decided she don’t wanna do it and just went back to sleep! How random is that?! Total waste of money! But I guess she made her statement – only do what you like to do. Anyways, in Econs, those are sunk costs and should not affect your decision.
And she cancelled her flight to Japan and decided to go to Korea. Utterly random.
The exam didn’t go too well, I thought it was rather funny because I was kinda unprepared. I spent so much at GJ yesterday my card got declined on my last purchase. Haha. Haha the eftpos machine probably got tired of scanning my card for the past weeks. I went home at round 10pm and had dinner, friend called to ask a few questions and I started to panic when I didn’t know how to answer. At last I decided that staying up would be useless so I went to bed.
When I came out from the exam hall, I met Nat and she said she was about to cry when she was doing the paper. I said I was about to laugh when I was doing – Haha I’m so totally screwed. So screwed that I can only laugh at my incorrigible state. I mean, no doubt I was very stress the past few days – I studied for Crim till I was closed to tears. G showed me this video on youtube and instead of being stressed to tears, I laughed till I teared.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCGL6Af3EXQ&mode=related&search=
Initially I didn’t really understand and when I watched it again… I thought it was damn funny!!!!!!!!
I planned to get a short nap before starting my revision on crim which is TOMORROW (with 100cases not memorized yet – zzzzz) but less than 15min sleeping my blarrdddyyy phone rang and YC was at GJ already so I dragged myself to my 2nd home. And I am here now typing this – I can’t memorize any cases any more!
Oh yeah, another random thing. I received a letter which was ripped opened by the Ministry of Agriculture…AGAIN. And in it, is the oh-so-familiar Notice of Detainment. This is the 2nd time I’m getting a detainment letter (for BBQ pork) and 4th time my letter being inspected (with the ‘inspected’ sticker).
Omg, I think I’m going to be top of their suspicious persons. One day, I will stop receiving detainment letters. But instead, I’ll get this:
NOTICE OF WARNING
Dear Ms Huiling Chen,
Please stop asking your friends from SINGAPORE to send you BBQ pork. You might as well ask them to send you a pig. You ought not to eat so much anyways. If this happens again, we will bar all your letters from Singapore.
Regards,
XXX
Haha. Noooo please don’t stop sending me stuff! Haha.
Haha ha ha ha ha Crim would be over and done with tomorrow! Yes! Oh no! I haven’t memorized my cases! Ha ha ha. Never mind, I always rely on my loser-statement when I’m unprepared – Everything is fated.

goddamnit I'm back again...
Cause... I'm so stress I don't know where to start any more.. 4 more days left to the exams and I'm really not prepared. Yune called me so many times and texted me a 4pg text to ask for my notes. She is making me awfully stress. I didn't pick her calls up initially because I haven't done my notes but she kept calling and texting the whole day I finally answered. I was...really frustrated because I explained to her so many times that its not that I don't wanna sell them to her, its because I haven't done them! And I can't do them if I haven't finish studying! But she kept going on and on no matter how many times I tried explaining to her that I HAVEN'T FINISH THEM AND ITS NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM TO YOU, I JUST CAN"T FINISH THEM!!!!! Ah! She is 1 'customer' who I really regret selling my notes to! At last, I said I try to do it by Tuesday (which I really doubt so) she said - Ok! See you on Wednesday -.- She still don't get it - I said I try! Not as if I can! I am in a real screwed up position now and I can't even salvage my own situation.. she really ought not to rely too much on me for answers...which probably be crappy ones!
I guess this sem's exams would be really bad. So bad that I don't know what to do. So bad that I decided to just go out for a drink. Dad's friends are here and they brought me out for lunch with their son who is studying in AU as well. Although I was really apprehensive initially because I'm afraid of awkward silences - I don't know what to talk to Uncle and Aunty. But thank god Uncle, Aunty and Victor are all real friendly people and, its a blissful feeling with older people. Haha well because I haven't seen or talked to my parents for quite some time (they are in China) so I kinda feel happy seeing Uncle and Aunty. I remembered my parents are always so super understanding during my exams - I don't need to do any housework, I can throw tantrums like nobody's business and they will let me be, they will fetch me even if its inconvenient for them blah blah blah. Of course, I don't have such luxuries here but I guess I'm still a lucky girl. They treated me to the best meal I ever had since don't-know-how-long and I feel as if I was with my parents - You always get good food with grown-ups! In return, I gave them a bottle Chardonnay.
Although that made my day, the stress I felt once lunch ended was 100xs more than yesterday. I headed down to SB walking in this awkward manner (because of the horrendous run yesterday) and mugged like mad and rushed to hulucat to meet C for a drink.
Oh yeah, my attempted run to mission bay was a failure (as the word 'attempted' already suggests). I didn't exactly reach mission bay because the weather was so bad. I only managed to reach Orakei Bay, which was such a waste because it was rather near Kelly Tarlton already!
But the weather was so bad I knew I had to turn back else I'll be in deep trouble. I was just damn unlucky - I knew it was going to rain but undaunted by that, I decided I was going to run no matter what! And so I did - and thinking that its Spring, it wouldn't be that cold so I wore shorts. But WRONG! It was freezing, I started having runny nose after awhile, stomachache during the run -.- The view was fantastic though - absolutely picturesque. My plans were foiled when I saw the dark clouds looming over mission bay ahead and the wind was so damn strong I felt that no matter how hard I ran, I was still on the same spot. Although I was dead tired I couldn't stop and rest because it was just too cold - I didn't bring my handphone out so I can't call for help either. So I cursed under my breadth throughout the run back.
When I saw the city, I was so damn relieved - thank god I didn't get caught in the rain. Never mind, will try another time.
Man... I feel so damn stress.. I can't believe my friends are actually traveling in Rotorua now - its the studying break not holidaying break! K, I ought not to complain so much. I guess everyone is feeling the same. So well... good luck.

Nope, this is not about Japan
I'm so productive... not studying but blogging!
Yuck.. I'm so totally wasting every bit of my negative amount of time left, all because I don't wanna start working on my exams.
Blogging is like a time-sucker: you feel as if you're doing something productive (i.e. doing serious reflections) but actually you're just wasting time on typing frivolous stuff which has no contributions to anyone's life! Thats for me. Does blogging make me any smarter or help in my exams? No. Does my blog affect you in any ways? No. So why the hell I'm blogging? Because I just feel like wasting time. Ha ha.
Today's the last day of lects for the semester! I feel totally liberated after my last public lect ended and I rushed down to............GLORIA JEANS! (Nothing special I know). I was do dead damn freaking #$%&* hungry the whole day because I had a far-too-early and far-too-little breakfast. (Don't usually have lunch) I wanted to grab some stuff from home before I headed down to GJ but to my horror there was absolutely NOTHING edible at home! (Except a black rotting banana and of course thats not classified under edible). Then I realized I haven't done my grocery shopping for more than a week, had been eating out the past few days. Feeling frustrated because I've to spend money which could have been saved, I bought the cheapest thing you can find on Queen Street - doughnut. Usually I can suppress my hunger till dinner but it just seemed impossible today because my stomach was acting stupid making all those washing machine noises and I don't wanna embarrass myself with this kinda stomach at GJ.
Stepped in to the oh-so-familiar GJ again. I think the time I've spent in GJ/SB is longer than the time in Uni. Coincidentally met C and Y. Talked for awhile but my notes were calling out to me so I was quickly pulled back to the stupid world of cases. (I just printed all my highly-summarized crim notes (for FREE at railway campass! Thank God G smuggled me in!) which is 1cm thick, most have 4 pages printed on 1 - thats freaking scary...I need to memorize that shit!) But less than 2 hours of highly productive studying, probably 5xs the rate I usually read, D and G came and it was time for dinner! Relieved because I can finally eat, exasperated because I really don't have the time.
They thought of going to the chocolate boutique at Parnell after dinner... I reckon they saw my super stress face and asked if I wanna go - I stammered and said maybe not (I was very sure I am not going and I'm gonna go SB to mug till midnight). BUTTTT they changed the destination to hulu cat which compelled me to go because its so near my place! And I thought why not, I can do my grocery shopping while they go for a drink so I succumbed to my temptations and went - in the name of grocery shopping. At last, they went foodtown with me and joked that I can survive war if theres 1.. because I can live on expired food -.- Haha Yeah...I think I'm totally immuned to expired food! I won't get a stomachache after eating them! I mean I do occasionally but thats very rare. NOT that I love eating expired food, just that I can't be going foodtown every 3 days!
After which we rotted at hulucat. Coincidentally, S was there and she gave me a few good tips about law (Another good reason why I should be at hulucat not SB studying). And again, coincidentally, I saw N and V! And coincidentally, they know each other! Alright, so many coincidentallys today.
And as you can see, I really don't wanna stop typing. Else I need to start studying. But well, I'm quite sure I won't. I will sleep early tonight, wake up at 7am, eat a freaking heavy breakfast, head down to SB, study till 4pm non-stop, run to Mission Bay (hopefully I can make it there and back), dinner, and back to SB at 7pm to study till 12am. What a fulfilling day -.-
But then again, I'm so sure I'll just die of tiredness from the run and either stay at home or roll down the steep slope to SB. If you do not already know, Chen Huiling's legs have never gone faster than the speed of 7km/hr since say 6months? And the run to Mission Bay is round 10km -.- But the hype bout it is just too enticing to ignore. They are always running there but I've never joined them because... I don't want everyone to be waiting for me. Er, I'll attempt that %^&*feat tomorrow. I think I can only make it to the highway bridge and turn back. Or maybe worse still, I'll take a bus back -.-
Ok, you know what, I am really gonna start being more discipline and stop blogging or wasting time on frivolous stuff (like pulling out my luggage and start packing for home which is utterly random because I'm not going back that soon... or start buying souvenirs). Well, all the best to those having exams and take good care! I hope you won't see me posting something else tomorrow or else my good bye msg would be rendered useless.

JAPAN!!!! again.
goddamnit I'm so super distracted.
YES I'm going to start talking about Japan AGAIN.
I know I've been very unproductive and distracted the past few days so...I decided to study my ass off till late at SB today.
I woke up at 7plus am for the ortho appointment and was caught in a v heavy rain so I decided to go back and take a nap and get changed before my lect. But I overslept and missed my last lecture of the semester!!! Which is really bad because its a very very important one. But something else made my day - someone bought my law notes today, so $50 extra!
I headed down to GJ to study for awhile and G came by. Obviously I stopped doing my work and talked for awhile and went for dinner with YC. Feeling so super freaking guilty, I thought I would stop by SB and study till late. But I'd to get some books from Borders first (40% discount!!!) And as usual I stayed there longer than expected. (I stayed at Whitcoulls for an hour yesterday to find for a freaking book!) It was a disappointment because I can't get the books I wanted - The Gathering by Anne Enwright...she won some booker award and because of that, they all sold out -.-. So I bought Japan's lonely planet instead! I just realized I spent so much these couple of days but its so worth it. Whitcoulls had 50% off all their fiction books!!
Ok so I was determined to study at SB but obviously it was too late so I might as well go home. Well thats because I can't wait to book my air tickets!!!!
Coincidentally G's going on the EXACT SAME DATES AS ME!!!! And Apple is going as well! And mp is there, and wb might drop by!!! But G departs from Tokyo while I've travel down to Osaka before going back to Singapore. Anyways, being so freaking excited I came online and tried to book the tickets. Took a long long long time to figure it out and finally booked it...But sadly, its on waiting list and there's only 50% chance I can get the tickets..
If I don't get it through krisflyer, I got to get it through ana or something... and I've to wait for my parents to come back from China before doing that. AH! so excited now. This is my first time booking air tickets by myself! Cheap thrill. My dad usually does it for me but he is not available now and I can't wait any longer!
Erm so yeah, I'll wait till next week, if they still don't give me a confirmation, I'm gonna try other agencies! AHHHHHHHHHHH DAMNIT I NEED TO STUDY AND STOP TYPING SO MUCH!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
I sooo won't be laughing like that next week when my exams start.
Ok.....!!! HUILING!!!! STOP!!! Start studying for crim!
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
LALALLALALLALALALALALLAAAAAAA I'M GOING JAPAN!!!!!

This is my first time booking air tickets by myself! Cheap thrill. My dad usually does it for me but he is not available now and I can't wait any longer!
Erm so yeah, I'll wait till next week, if they still don't give me a confirmation, I'm gonna try other agencies! AHHHHHHHHHHH DAMNIT I NEED TO STUDY AND STOP TYPING SO MUCH!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
I sooo won't be laughing like that next week when my exams start.
Ok.....!!! HUILING!!!! STOP!!! Start studying for crim!
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
I will not talk about Japan anymore
LALALLALALLALALALALALLAAAAAAA I'M GOING JAPAN!!!!!

Backpacking #5 - JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still can't help it but rant about my excitement.
Ok, its not confirm that I am really 100% guarantee plus chop etc going because....
I HAVEN'T BOUGHT MY AIR TICKETS!
Only after booking my air-tickets would I really consider myself going.
Last night I was talking to my dad and we were searching tickets online and there was one to Osaka and my dad said 'book now huh?' I was taken aback because I felt that it was just too fast and random and unexpected and don't know...just so not prepared! Cause if I really book the tickets, I can't change the dates anymore! But I can't believe my parents are so swift bout that!
Ok, they still don't know that I may be traveling alone for a few days...if they know, I can totally give up the thought of going so of course, they are not going to be notified bout that!
Its really not the time to be researching bout the trip but I can't help it because I need to settle some stuff before I can even book the tickets! Apparently there are no more tickets to Tokyo on the dates I'm looking at so my only alternative now is to go to Osaka first. Kinda decided where I wanna cover already - Osaka -> Nara -> Kyoto -> Tokyo -> Osaka with the 7 days railway pass! Wonder how am I gonna go Kobe though...theres this Kobe Luminare during Christmas which I really wanna go! Heard its beautiful!!
Accommodation is rather expensive though (compared to the backpackers in NZ which ranges from $18-$25 per night). The cheapest I can find in Japan is something called Ryokan, probably their version of backpackers. There are youth hostels which costs around $37 a night but its shared. Erm I feel that its a lil dodgy if I have to stay with other people when I'm alone. Sigh!
Alrights, I must keep everything going else my plans of backpacking to Japan will fail! I even bought a travel diary just now for planning purposes and I'll probably buy the Japan Lonely Planet travel guide tomorrow! And its as if heaven is on my side - I've a 40% discount voucher from Borders for travel guides!
Ok, I shan't bore you with all those details anymore like what I'm doing to everyone around me! Haha whenever I see my friends in uni, I just can't control myself and start talking bout my plans -.-.
Ok, all I need to do now is to be focus on my work. Exams starting next week.
Haha oh yeah, as usual, I've been going to GJ/SB everyday. And in SB, they ask for your name when they take your order. Knowing that they can't spell my name, I usually give my initials - HL and this is what they gave me:
So I decided to say 'Ling' the next time. And they gave me:
Alright, I know. I need to get a English name. So I decided to just say Lynn the next time. And this is what they gave me:
..........................................
And as you can see, I'm a comp idiot. I don't know how to rotate the pictures. I tried, but they just won't turn.

My dual lifestyle
Early bird
Night owl
I lived in Singapore for say 18plus years, NZ for approximately 2 years and I am ashamed to say that I hardly know much about my country- both Singapore and NZ. And so we were talking to Charlie from Taiwan during dinner. He has been here for 7years – meaning that he’d been away from Taiwan for 7 years. But, I’m impressed that he still knows his country's history, politics etc. Not just Taiwan but China and Hong Kong as well. And so we started bombarding him with questions about Taiwan's history and politics and to my delight, he was able to answer most of the questions and it was really interesting. I just know a lil about Taiwan...something about KuoMingTang and Chiang Kai Shek but nonetheless it was still a very entertaining topic to talk about. We digressed a lil to Singapore, ASEAN and a lil on Indonesia. I guess I've learnt a pretty substantial amount from them over a short dinner.
The other day we watched a video on the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp under the Nazis. It was so freaking disturbing. Listening to it was bad enough but watching it was just pure torturous. How they exterminated the Jews, stripped them, gassed them, used all their body parts for other purposes as if they were like commodities. And how the concentration camp functions as if it’s a factory – just that the raw materials were human. Look at the POW’s expressions – you will wonder why they even want to continue living. But the most disturbing part was when the bulldozer pushing all the dead naked bodies into the furnace. Freak! I don’t even want to try describing it. I guess its just the circumstance. Maybe the person sitting next to you now is the sweetest thing on earth but maybe if you put her/him into that context, can you guarantee that she/he will still be sweet?
3 more weeks before my exams end. Yes, I really can't wait for everything to be over. I don't want to wake up early in the morning and walk to Starbucks. I don't want to sit there the whole day. I don't want to skip lunch. I don't want to stay there till night. I want to just rot and read anything other then cases. I read 65 cases this week! 380pages in total and considering that 2 pages are printed on 1, its 760pages!!! That totally explains my headaches, loss of appetite, dizziness blah blah blah. Never mind, it will be over soon.
AND! SouthPark is ridiculously funny! I've only watched 2 episodes but I think its so damn funny I kept re-watching them. Especially the death of Eric Cartman. HAHAHA ITS SO DAMN FUNNY I LAUGH WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT IT. I was controlling my laughter when I was watching it at GJ. My god, I felt like exploding with laughter.
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Ingeniously funny!

GJ vs SB
I spent the last couple of weeks camping in cafes - Gloria Jeans and Starbucks. Although I personally still prefer GJ way better than Starbucks, (I don't know why but Starbucks tastes so bad after drinking GJ...maybe its just that outlet, don't remember Starbucks tasting so bad before. I tried Cafe Mocha, Vanilla Latte, Caramel Latte, White Chocolate Latte, Cafe Latte and all tasted either wrong or substandard. But I stick to Cafe Latte now because it tastes like milk and its the cheapest)
Anyway the point is time passes so slowly now. I thought I went out with them for dinner a week before but actually, it was just 2 days before. Thats what happens when you stay in a place for too long. We sat there without moving from 1130am to 930pm, occasionally for toilet breaks. I was rushing for my exams revision while G was rushing for some archi project.
I felt like a lump of dough just sitting there the whole freaking day and night flipping through cases after cases for law, questions after questions for accounting. And its really draining on both my brains and my wallet. I mean, I felt that it was pretty wrong for us to sit there the whole day by just ordering a drink so I bought 2. 2 drinks from SB everyday - thats freaking wasting my money considering I don't even like it. And why am I not going to GJ? Because they have no power point for my laptop.
Haha ok, stop complaining. I quite like sitting there in fact - rather than sitting in the library. I'm so much more productive there plus the caffeine keeps me invigorated. But whenever I reach home, I'll feel like I'm floating around because my brain is kinda fried. So now, here I am, sitting down for a moment to rest. I was just reading several blog entries and suddenly, I realized that my lifestyle is so different here!
This is totally random but I realized that the way I live here is totally different from how I would in Singapore. Its just so different! Not that its bad, but its just different.
Ok, got to get back to my surreal world of cases after cases and calculations after calculations. And my vacuum cleaner just got to act stupid at this crucial time. Argh.

Notice of Detainment
I froze when I opened my letter box and saw this:
I panicked - thinking that I'm gonna get detained because I didn't vote. Ripped opened the letter and saw this:
.........................................
'$59.56' totally popped out from the letter. I thought I had to pay that amount and was super relief when I saw the 2nd option - Destruction at no cost.
Destruction at no cost? Pretty weird because the BBQ pork, aka Bak Gua is already with me:
But to enable them to fulfill the requirements of the Biosecurity Act 1993, alright, I'll 'destruct' it:

Absolutely peculiar
Huh? I feel that I'm living in an ultimately surreal world now - Its either I am dreaming or I am not existing.
Maybe its the lack of sleep again.
I had an assignment due today which I usually finish a week before but obviously I didn't and had to even skip 2 lectures to complete it - Yes, last-minute.
Considering I didn't sleep much the past few nights and a few important matters to attend to and major decisions made etc, I felt that I used 10% of my brain instead of the usual 3% as Einstein states (Am I even right about this fact?). And being deprived of GJ this morning made me 1000xs more lethargic. And as usual, being a true-blue Singaporean, I was late for History lecture by 20minutes after which I skipped the next 2 lectures to complete the 4% worth of Accounting assignment (Yes, only 4%). I mean even if I get that question wrong, its only gonna affect my grades by less than 0.5marks but its either the kiasu-ism or the I-just-need-to-know-how-to-do-it urge in me, I refused to hand it in till I kinda think its right.
But my brains could only function at 10% of its usual rate and it was just a totally wrong time to piss me off then. So as I was rushing for time, this kinda familiar girl came up to me and said, 'Hey, you did accting 102 last sem right? You are doing acct 221 now?' Damn... I recognized her after awhile...that girl who kept forcing answers out of me during tutorial when the tutor was talking. I mean, I need to listen to explain but she just went on and on and on and on so I could never get anything out of the tutorial. So I can never teach her nor can I even understand it myself.
I knew she had the intention to copy my answers but I really don't like that idea. Firstly, I don't really know you, I don't even remember your name. Secondly, if you weren't that last minute, I can teach but not let you copy! You gotta work it out yourself. Attitude totally wrong. Thirdly, I'm pretty screwed myself so as I much as I want, sorry. So I told her as politely as I could that I haven't finish it myself but she kept insisting (She didn't even have her assignment there). I got a lil impatient yet guilty but I really have negative amount of time to continue that mini argument. Probably she got me at the wrong time, I was really tired and I had another tutorial soon. Tough luck. And no, she didn't give up, she saw Nat's assignment and flip through it. That really pissed me off because that was not even my assignment and she just took it without asking?! So I took it back. And you thought she would just give up, but no, she said she will come later after printing her assignment. -.- But I left a lil after because I had a tutorial.
Yes, I'm horrible and I'm pretty guilty bout that. But..aiyah! Sorry lor. Just not the time to ask me for help.
Thank god Nat got coffee for me before Crim tut else I'll definitely doze off again. Although its not comparable to GJ, its still effective. Ok, this is the crux of my post - I was utterly stupefied when I got back my results.
I had this crim test weeks ago which I totally screwed it up because I had a mental bock and had almost nothing to write - to the extend that I wanted to walk out of the exam hall. In fact, it bothered me so much I had to go out with a couple of friends for a drink to straighten out my thoughts. And the following weeks after that test I was still demoralized about it and felt fidgety during Crim lects and am half way on giving it up. When the results were released, my whole mind was clouded with the thought on how badly I'd done and trying to create the worst case scenario - maybe 9/100. I refused to check the results nor collect the paper although I know I need to do a proper review on it. I was gonna ask my friend to collect it for me but I reckon I shouldn't be such a pussy.
So I decided to collect it today, after crim tut and before SY's birthday dinner. I told myself not to be too affected by it and if I really was (which I was almost certain i would be) the company later in the evening would probably comfort me a lil. So yes, I went to collect my essay and test and expecting to get a single digit. When I opened the script, to my horror/surprise (I don't know what words to use) I saw a double digit which starts with 7 and ends with 6. So I rolled my eyes thinking that they gave me the wrong script. (Getting B+ for Part 2 law is kinda impossible for people like me) But I thought the handwriting looked familiar. So I reckon it was mine and I was kinda sure that they entered the wrong marks. So I flipped through it with the -.- mindset, already expecting some super stupid major mistake in calculations. But to my horror (Yes, horror, not even happiness because I thought it was totally absurd) I saw the comments 'good', 'good', 'v.good', 'self-defence', 'good effort', '76'and thought - you MUST be kidding me. This is totally wrong. I mean, HUUUUUHHHH I'm so confuse! I mean wth! I spent so many sleepless nights and worries and blah blah blah because of this. I know, you must be trashing me now saying that I should just be contented but I just think this is just so ridiculous. I can't say that I'm happy, I think I'm more of dumbfounded. Huuuhhhh I totally feel so stupid worrying like shit the past few weeks...not paying attention in lects huuuuhhhhhhhhh ironic. I'm so damn freakin lucky. I think I can even win a jackpot now.
But my opinion's marks was bad but I think it accurately reflects the quality of that piece of work - crap. Totally mistook a whole chunk of law but as usual Brown ALWAYS states something consoling at the end of his markings no matter how crappy your work is. He said my English expression is well-up to task - Although I feel absolutely flattered, I know thats not true. I must correct that statement - not MY but the people who not only proof-read that opinion but even corrected all my nonsensical mistakes. Haha thanks to those - I promise I'll give you all a treat.
And yesterday I was checking out the GJ's outlets in Sg and the good news is that there are 3 not 1! At Marina, Raffles and Vivo. Yup, no worries now. So as I was surfing through their web I unknowingly ended up in this page - http://www.gloriajeans.com/t-franchising.aspx
Haha! Yes, I wanna franchise more of them in Sg. Haha nah, just joking I don't have such means but I reckon if there are more outlets or if Sgporeans are more aware of GJ, they would be as or even more popular than Starbucks! Starbucks is way too expensive and I don't know, but I love GJs here. Ok, I must qualify my statement, I love Gloria Jeans @ Borders. Yes! Another dream of opening a small lil cafe in the center of a bookshop. Hah. Maybe one day I should just sit there and count the number of customers patronizing that outlet and work out how much they probably earn! I bet its a lot!
And! I've spent so much there! Damn! But I try not to spend on anything except groceries which I haven't even bought for a couple of weeks. How I survive? Didn't you know instant noodles are students' best friends? Haha.
Haha, this is totally random, but yesterday when I was doing some work in GJ, a friend dropped by and told me the most absurd and funniest thing about his childhood I nearly died laughing. I still think that that is totally ridiculous. Rolls eyes again.
Ytd I started to use reverse psychology to convince my parents. As in, imbuing indirectly my opinions so that they would be slowly be influenced and maybe at the end of the year when I let them know my decision they would just happily embrace it, without even displaying the slightest objection. But of course, I got to be discrete about it - sounding neutral and blahblahblah so that they won't think I'm being emotional or bias. Haha this feels like a game -.- I hope I win.
Oh no...I just read what I've just typed and I think my blog is totally rubbish... Its totally void of contend and random stuff coming out from me. Ahh... haha sorry for wasting your time if you're even reading this. haha.
Yup, to again emphasize my identity as a true-blue Singaporean, I'm once again, very late for dinner now.
Maybe its the lack of sleep again.

So I reckon it was mine and I was kinda sure that they entered the wrong marks. So I flipped through it with the -.- mindset, already expecting some super stupid major mistake in calculations. But to my horror (Yes, horror, not even happiness because I thought it was totally absurd) I saw the comments 'good', 'good', 'v.good', 'self-defence', 'good effort', '76'and thought - you MUST be kidding me. This is totally wrong. I mean, HUUUUUHHHH I'm so confuse! I mean wth! I spent so many sleepless nights and worries and blah blah blah because of this. I know, you must be trashing me now saying that I should just be contented but I just think this is just so ridiculous. I can't say that I'm happy, I think I'm more of dumbfounded. Huuuhhhh I totally feel so stupid worrying like shit the past few weeks...not paying attention in lects huuuuhhhhhhhhh ironic. I'm so damn freakin lucky. I think I can even win a jackpot now.
But my opinion's marks was bad but I think it accurately reflects the quality of that piece of work - crap. Totally mistook a whole chunk of law but as usual Brown ALWAYS states something consoling at the end of his markings no matter how crappy your work is. He said my English expression is well-up to task - Although I feel absolutely flattered, I know thats not true. I must correct that statement - not MY but the people who not only proof-read that opinion but even corrected all my nonsensical mistakes. Haha thanks to those - I promise I'll give you all a treat.
And yesterday I was checking out the GJ's outlets in Sg and the good news is that there are 3 not 1! At Marina, Raffles and Vivo. Yup, no worries now. So as I was surfing through their web I unknowingly ended up in this page - http://www.gloriajeans.com/t-franchising.aspx
Haha! Yes, I wanna franchise more of them in Sg. Haha nah, just joking I don't have such means but I reckon if there are more outlets or if Sgporeans are more aware of GJ, they would be as or even more popular than Starbucks! Starbucks is way too expensive and I don't know, but I love GJs here. Ok, I must qualify my statement, I love Gloria Jeans @ Borders. Yes! Another dream of opening a small lil cafe in the center of a bookshop. Hah. Maybe one day I should just sit there and count the number of customers patronizing that outlet and work out how much they probably earn! I bet its a lot!
And! I've spent so much there! Damn! But I try not to spend on anything except groceries which I haven't even bought for a couple of weeks. How I survive? Didn't you know instant noodles are students' best friends? Haha.
Haha, this is totally random, but yesterday when I was doing some work in GJ, a friend dropped by and told me the most absurd and funniest thing about his childhood I nearly died laughing. I still think that that is totally ridiculous. Rolls eyes again.
Ytd I started to use reverse psychology to convince my parents. As in, imbuing indirectly my opinions so that they would be slowly be influenced and maybe at the end of the year when I let them know my decision they would just happily embrace it, without even displaying the slightest objection. But of course, I got to be discrete about it - sounding neutral and blahblahblah so that they won't think I'm being emotional or bias. Haha this feels like a game -.- I hope I win.
Oh no...I just read what I've just typed and I think my blog is totally rubbish... Its totally void of contend and random stuff coming out from me. Ahh... haha sorry for wasting your time if you're even reading this. haha.
Yup, to again emphasize my identity as a true-blue Singaporean, I'm once again, very late for dinner now.
