The exams are here! ZOMG!
2 papers, 2 days, 2 books, 2 tonnes of information!
Aww man!



Man, studying is making me sick, its been text and text and text non stop for the day. Lots of input but nothing barely stays in there. Lucky i got a family which has been supportive and bring me through bad times like this.

2 more papers in 4 days time. gotta chiong!

Today is probably the first time i brought all my notes for ASAS2. Partly i figured that P.Liang was going to give out tips, i also felt that it was the last lesson so i decided to apreciate the lesson more. The lecture turned out to be a quiet and solemn one which i felt kind of awkward. Nothing else to comment on it, usual people doing usual stuffs, except this time everyone's gone more serious.

Speaking of "usual people doing usual stuffs", i thought of which something unrelated to class yet applicable in life. This probably happens in a "guy's" world instead of "girl's" one, but its good to let everyone know.

Here's how it goes... In order make himself better for whatever reason under whatever circumstance, a male would put another male down in order to "alpha" himself. Sad for me, i have to witness such scenerios all the time. A male would bad-mouth/talk-bad about other males just to make himself feel superior/ atas. Sometimes i wonder, is it due to the lack of social security? or just plain sore loser?

So, have you ever observed the people around and noticed a similar pattern? Well, one way of putting up with him is to agree to what he says. Give agreememnt and acknowledgememnt and give him the atas feel he wanted. once he is done, he scoffs. One way to defend yourself is to cut him down on whatever limited amount of knowledge you have of him, even if it's not relevant. He'll feel uncomfortable and his body language will show it. He might even change the conversation topic at a bizarre which you can eventually make a good laugh out of it. There are many other ways to diss the person, go learn and it will be an useful lifeskill.

Okay, back to the topic. After the "last lecture", i had to rush to CMPB for my NS medical screening. My appointment was supposed to be at 9am but i was still in NP at 1pm. A pity that i could not spend more time with my classmates as they are a fun bunch of people. I reached CMPB around 1.30pm with my X-ray films. i had my photographs taken, blood drawn, urine tested, teeth checked, eyes checked, ears tested, X-rayed, height+weight+Blood pressure measured, balls checked and lastly brain tested. I had PES A for all the stations that could be measured for and labelled "mild obese". -_-! Well, after reviewing the Xray films i brought for a bad knee injury, the MO decided to down my PES to C2L2. The whole process was straight forward yet time consuming. Darling was being really nice by initiating to accompany me. Thank god it did not happen or else i will definately feel bad for making her wait 4 hours.

Anw, it's 1 am and its raining outside my window, what a delightful surprize. i enjoy rainy nights for the cooling factor.

2 months since i left a trace at this blog and most of my wanted-to-pen-down-thoughts have been lost in space. Many things happened and sad to say, most were made up of the "downs" which school work probably played the biggest part in it, but nonetheless im glad i survived till today.

Major delightful events that took place were:

Xmas @ fleur's
2010 countdown + Darling's TP celebration @ my balcony
My 21st party @ Changi
ATFKRS chalet @ Changi
Airshow 2010 @ Changi
AT Fun Day @ NP
*Most important* Many fun hangouts with Darling @ various places

and of course, Lunar New Year! which is right now.

This year's LNY is really special for my family because it is probably the first time we experienced so much cohesion. Our celebration is quite simple yet so heart warming. In the eve of LNY, my mum cook a lot of food and prepared the things for a traditional LNY custom. Dad and i would travel down to "si ma lu" to get "tou zhu xiang" at midnight. My sis and i would stay up till morning to "shou ye".

si ma lu - a famous temple in bugis.
tou zhu xiang - the first joss stick
shou ye - staying up the whole night as a symbol to wish one's parents good health

well of course, my sis and i were allowed to wake up late. when i woke up, i was greeted with alot of food LITERALLY! my mum prepared many traditional chinese dishes and desserts. We visited our grandmother later on and then spent the night together watching a movie. This is the best LNY "da nian chu yi" i ever had with my family so far. =]
