okayyy, the wonderful week-after-the-prelims is over! OVER! it's time to get back to reality and FACE THE MUSIC. *funeral music plays in background* =X
ok, basically, i spent this week slacking lik nobody's business (apparently, i was hoping for a meteor to crash into earth and i can happily skip the a lvls. but apparently, life doesn't work this way). i watched tv, hang online for 6 hours straight, watch tv and wasted time and youth. i did everything but studying.
went out with cher, liting and kityeng (we shall henceforth be known as "oosh crew") to celebrate liting's (otherwise known as toosh) belated bday. we presented her with the pink box from ikea but made by us (we hammered each and every nail!). ate maggie mee at lt's hse cause somehow dinner jus slipped our surprise plan. went some bar ("Oosh" hence the name for this gang) at dempsky (ok i'm so nt sure of the spelling) rd. yesterday was the day when we cabbed around and about lik nobody's business. LUCKILY i wasn't the one footing the cab bills. at the bar.. kinda boring la (it WAS a monday). but stil drank some drink called "high on grass" (again i can't reali rmb the name) that's more of fruit punch den alcohol. poor ky had to gulp down some fiery (with a tinge of salt and tomato juice? URGH) Bloody Mary drink. as usual lt ordered the best drink hahas. but no matter, everytime i go out with them guys, i invariably learn sth new. =) i learnt "on the rocks"and i learnt volka is actually quite mild. hmm
anw. thot i would get back into th studying mood since tmr's back to school. but i got tempted by the constantine show (oH GOSH KEANU REEVES IS SO COOL). spent whole aftn watching and getting a headache (but still KEANU REEVES IS SO COOL) and feeling bewildered by the show's storyline. hmm. stil confused about some parts thou (lik wat was he trying to do before that half breed gabriel swoop down upon him towards the end?) but no matter it was a nice show. =) ahhhh <3 keanu reeves!! ^^
o wel, that's the end of the entry about the end of a blissful slacky week. SIGHS. FACIN THE MUSIC TMR. i wil get thru this. i wil.
oh, i HOPE i won't be bloggin for some time. i think the addiction to go online is in my blood already. too late. i have to face the painful withdrawal symtoms of no internet as well. BLAH.

hmm.. at long last! the prelims are OVER! i never felt so free, so relaxed, so at ease yesterday. it was after the disastrous bio paper (like always) one, and i felt i guessed half of the answer. but watever, it's over, jus lik the rest of the horrible chem papers (mind you, it was disasterous chem PAPERS, not paper), and til then, i shal happily enjoy for a while. =) that's y i'm blogging! and going online lik there's no one's business. and y i'm ironing my own clothes. doing hsework can be so.. therepeutic. hehe.
ok. finally finished searching for my songs. yay i lik having new songs in my mp3 player. ok that was random. =x but when i go online, i dun reali dedicate my whole time to reading blogs (even thou i think that'sa good way to reali find out things that u don't noe). some entries are so darn long and with small font la. ok anw..
oh, let me describe how WONDERFUL i felt yesterday. aft the paper, i felt so HAPPY. so relaxed, that life is so lovely. went marina den suntec with sheryl, junli, huihui, viki and simin. ate pizza hut (yay! finally no more RICE for dinner, for once). became broke upon buying earrings from diva (bleahh.. not reali nice la) and perlini silver (did i spell it correctly? no matter, this pair was worth its price. hahas. cause it's jus looks nice). i felt soooo relaxed. indescribable. priceless. sure walking around was tiring after one mth of only-sitting-down-studying-like-there's-no-tmr, but i duno la, i jus felt waaay at peace, and relatively happy. i think i'l feel this again after a lvls. but i guess only one mth of torture can one feel how tortured one feels, and truly appreciate freedom. hahas. sometimes when i'm studying, i keep telling myself "there won't be such an EXPERIENCE again, so CHERISH this", and it kinda works.
O YA. i think econs reali helps in my life leh. =X as in.. cause once upon a time, childish me used to think that saving is GOOD. and spend only wat u can afford. but after reading the straits time (there was this article under insights i think. it was about investing?=X), i realised that purely saving in the bank collecting interest ISN"T good. especially once inflation catches up with ur interest.=X so now i can't even jus save. i must invest in places where there is risk to be taken. and it's ok to spend on borrowed money (article talks about good and bad debt). i think i should take up financial studies or sth. to avoid being at a disadvantaged when it comes to this kind of things.
