@ 10:53 PM
I'm losing confidence in myself. After today. The overview question was kinda hard. Plus, I can't think clearly under the stress of time constraint then. THAT question requires more thought and effect than the time allocated can allow. Aside from that, I did not get as good a grade as I hope for 103 essay. I think it was better that I collected the essay after the paper and not before. Imagine what will happen. I will probably be too disappointed to focus on the paper. I can only say one thing, I need better time management!Ok, away with sulkiness and on to happiness. Haha. Watched the finale of Korean drama, 'Present', today. I like the ending. Girl realizes she truly loves Boy, and they get together. Which is what I want. Really can't bear it if Girl did not end up with Boy, who loves her and has done a lot of things for her, most of which are pretty heroic and self-sacrificing. I didn't watch the first few episodes of the drama, but I guess certain dramas have this unique appeal. Even if you start watching from the middle, you can still get hooked. Hmm...What I said earlier reminds me of another idol drama, starring Roy Chiu and Joanne Peh. Like Boy, Roy's character loves the girl and does a lot of things for her. I know their characters will end up together, or I sincerely hope so. It is an interactive drama, and Roy and Joanne's stamp is leading in the vote. Hmm...

@ 3:40 PM
Tomorrow. A most dreaded day. At least I think people who are doing Romanticism will agree with me. Totally no hints whatever. The result? It means I have to study the entire reading list. Freaky... Even now, I'm reading and studying bits and pieces from everywhere. My only hope is that questions on the novels will be set, on both sections B and C of the paper, excluding RC, which I never got to finish reading it... Only then, I can tackle the questions with confidence, feigned or real... Tomorrow just come! Let me get this over with!This past week, I have been really grumpy and nasty towards my friends and family. Sorry... Guess I am too stressed. Luckily there's a considerable break in between 204 and 105. I need the break to recharge my batteries, which are almost fully spent...

Single? @ 10:34 PM
One thing to say, I'm single because I have not met the right guy!Lesli, you're single because you don't want to commit
Once the blush of first love wears off with your partners, do you get a little antsy? You probably crave excitement in all realms of your life, and you need a relationship to keep you filled with possibilities. Let us guess: Someone has probably told you that you haven't quite grown up yet, that you're still holding out for the perfect "whatevers" (job, car, home, date) in your life to come a knockin'. Or perhaps you're just having a difficult time accepting that your comfortable little place in this world is always growing, always evolving — and that means you have to be willing to accept big life changes, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, you're probably a lot of fun to be around and may be the life of the party.But when it comes to settling down, you leave without looking back twice. Now's the time to ask yourself: Why? What's holding you back? Maybe you don't want someone to get to know you fully? Perhaps by saying "yes" to someone, you're afraid you'll lose yourself, or the possibility of something better coming along. Just remember that the best relationships are those that never stop growing. That's something you can identify with, right? So keep that in mind next time you find someone you're really comfortable with. You never know, it may prove even more exciting once you really get to know each other, teensy flaws and all.
You're single because you don't want to commit

Slacker's afternoon @ 9:40 PM
Slacked for the whole afternoon today. Had Shakespeare in the morning, decided I was too zonked out by it - studying and then doing the paper itself. It was a heavy paper. Argh... Went to delifrance for lunch, had a mushroom 'ciabatta', not too sure of the spelling. It was quite nice, tasted almost like mushroom pizza. Haha. Went home after that, and began my slacker's afternoon. Watched an episode of Reaching For The Stars while lazing on the bed, all thanks to the convenience of a lappy. :P It was such a nice laze, dozed off to sleep after that. Not that I slept for a long while. :-)Well, that was my slacker's afternoon. There's still night. Haha. Watched tv from 6 till 9 pm. There are just so many nice shows on tv on a weekday night. Temptation...The next paper is a week away. A week for me to prepare, study, and do whatever I need to get a good grade for the paper. I'm so worried for that particular paper. Guess it is because of the quiz segment on the paper, it scares me... I need luck, aside from hard work! Can't wait for the exams to be over!!!

@ 3:21 PM
Here I am blogging when I have my Shakespeare paper on Monday morning... Hmmm.... Wanted to write this long ago, but I don't have time... Here goes...Realized a few weeks back that my teachers from primary to jc have been calling me by the correct name when I thought it was wrong, they have been calling me Soo-Hwa, which is coincidentally my Korean name. Hmmm... interesting ar?Finished Jernigan's paper last thursday, I think it was quite ok. The topics I picked out to study all came out. Guess I'm lucky, hope this luck continues throughout the whole exam period. Haha...I just finished my revision for Othello. Flipped through a few of my notes from jc, not forgetting Quigley's notes too. :-) And that is only what I have done in preparation for the exam. Hmm, I need to study again. It would be nice if I can get a good grade for this paper. A nice thought...My sister was just saying that she shoots people off when she talks. Actually, I have the same problem as hers, maybe even more serious as well. I don't really shoot my mouth off with friends... but with close friends and family... that is a totally different case...Most of my friends have already finished two papers, so envious of them. Really hate my exam schedule. I'm stuck till the end of the exam period. Yikes! I wanna start reading the Charmed books I bought! I need non-serious books to relieve my brain! :P Whatever, it's back to Shakespeare now.

2 more days...or should i say 1? @ 3:41 PM
The exams are coming, this thursday!!! And I have not exactly studied. Maybe it's because I know the texts to be covered in the 103 exam, I'm slacking in my revision...Don't really feel like studying, though I have tried. Believe me. I need to study!!!

Zhiyang is CSS @ 11:35 AM
It was a good show last night. I enjoyed the songs. I must admit, Zhiyang has a really good voice, to be able to sing a difficult song like 'Superwoman'. I'm really glad that he won and not Teresa. Compared to Zhiyang, Teresa seems to pale in comparsion. There was quite a big gap between their marks in the final round, 51 vs 45.5. When I saw the marks, I had a sense that Zhiyang will emerge as winner. And I'm right. I must say that this is the first time that the competitors of the various talent quests on television won based on merit. I admit though, popularity is still important. I guess the votes between Teresa and Zhiyang last night were pretty close. Haha, whatever.

CSS finals tonight! @ 10:37 AM
Finally. CSS is coming to an end, tonight! I really hope that the eventual winner is a deserving winner, one who wows the judges and audience alike. You know what I talking about. It will be be a long competition cum concert tonight, running for 3.5 hours. That is long... Hmm.. I'm looking forward to tonight, despite what I wrote in my 101 essay. I'm lying in that essay. No choice, have to fit the requirement. After that, I can then flly focus on my work and exams, which is a mere 2 weeks away? Oh dear...I guess I can say I am lucky that I finished my 202 essay 2nd draft last night. Just have to edit it later today. And then I can start reading the secondary reasources for my Wordsworth essay. And then I can start on that essay too. Then I will have time to read the assigned readings for this week's classes. Hmm.. what will Mrs Teng say if she sees this post? I'm making no effort at cohesion. Or do I? Maybe there is indeed cohesion at some points. Haha...

When things don't go your way @ 4:29 PM
Why do I say 'when things don't go your way'? That is because it happened to me today, for most of the afternoon.It started when I was paying the bill for my meal at Delifrance. I thought we can pay it through my Atm card. It turned out that the service wasn't available there. I was quite pissed off. I had to withdraw money from the Atm machine outside. There were so many people queuing! Frankly speaking, I don't have much patience queuing up. I get restless.Then, my sister was running late for work and we decided to hail a taxi. It was so hard trying to hail hard. Cabs were either booked or the drivers ignored us. It was so frustrating. But we managed to hail one, so I guess my frustration is reduced. Library. Really don't like community libraries. They don't have the books I'm searching for. I went to two libraries before finding some books of relevance to my essay. Maybe I should go to the central library. Maybe I can find better books there. Hmm...I'm just complaining in this post. No choice, have to vent my frustrations somewhere. :-)
