Anyway, yesterday I went shopping at Orchard with sin hui, ai lian and wen hooi. Had fun trying all sorts of things, especially that really long winter coat and looking at all the fury coats haha. Wanted to buy this really nice shirt, but it's too thin. Then saw another nice shirt and felt like buying, but then it cost like 60-something. Like hello..that much for a shirt? Anyway after ai lian left we went to library then to kino to read magazines. Felt really tired afterwards, but somehow I just refused to sleep early. So instead, I watched an episode of Apprentice that I taped and ended up sleeping at 1. Sigh..I'm back to my usual sleeping habits. It's obviously not healthy. Somehow I really really must try to sleep earlier.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

Prelims are finally really over for me! I feel so relieved! To say that math s paper's extremely extremely difficult would be an understatement. Haha actually I'm quite happy that I could solve 1 whole question. Hopefully I can pass. I'll be really really happy if I do, but probability of that happening is quite low. Anyway, got back GP compre today. Don't know whether to be happy or to be sad with my mark. It's not very high but it's one of my best so far. Anyway I'm so looking forward to holiday tomorrow! Sigh..gotta really work on applications really soon. The essays are scary! And I just remembered that I'm taking writing next saturday. Must study for that too. Argh..so many things to do right after prelims! I really just want to take a break!
I've just been wasting my time and basically slacking these past few days. Mostly I was either online or watching tv. I know I'm actually supposed to study for tomorrow's math s but I don't really have the mood to. Maybe I'll look through later. I've been watching lots of tv, but the last time I counted, I still have 10 hours to watch on my tape. Which include 2 long-time-ago episodes of OC, 1 Apprentice episode (actually I had 3 before Thursday's episode. But I watched Thursday's episode without watching the previous ones. Doesn't matter I guess since I already know who the winner is) and the US Open final. Oh ya I also watched the encore telecast of Singapore Idol last night. When I saw Taufik I was reminded of what Sin Hui told me. She went to search for "taufik singapore idol" and...she found my blog. Haha I went to search for myself and I really saw my blog! My brothers were laughing at me. It's really hilarious. Think the description below was something like "taufik 'my brother' won....with singapore idol and olympics coming up I dare not imagine how much tv I'll be watching". So funny! Think I must've written it like after he won the gold haha. But it's quite a scary thing also..I mean just like that and anyone can see my blog. Oh well.. it really is such a small world out there.
I'm super duper happy today.. For a change I didn't feel terrible at all after doing a paper. Math 2 was probably better than I expected and I'm happy that I found it quite ok. Which can't be said of the rest of the papers..they've been really quite disastrous I suppose. Oh well.. 2 more days only.. I should really remind myself that so that I'll be motivated to study really hard for chem and physics and hopefully pull up my marks.
Another reason to be happy: MU beat Liverpool 2-1! Haha. How 'bout that? I would've been happy with just a draw. Too bad my brother didn't have confidence in MU and bet on Liverpool instead.
Think I should go sleep now so that I can study later. Been sleeping really late and it's like prelims. Not good.
Anyway yesterday we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate both my brothers' birthdays. The only other time we've eaten there was actually in SF and we all thought the food was really great. It's supposed to be an Australian restaurant but I think you can't find it in Perth and Melbourne which is really strange, considering that it has branches in other countries. The food was, well, mostly fried. Think I really ate too much fried food last night. Not good.. Oh and at the restaurant, they were showing Sportscenter on ESPN I think and then they showed the Capriati-Williams match. I think Serena's outfit is really hilarious; she has to like take off her boots before playing haha.
I just found out that my uncle actually got to go to Athens for the Olympics. So unfair!
I've spent like almost the whole weekend studying..my brain really needs a break now. But I feel as though I haven't studied much..which is probably true. Sigh..don't know how long I'll need to finish studying everything. But gotta really study hard especially for chem, cos to get a decent mark now, I'll need to like do super well for my theory papers..thanks to my prac which was a total disaster. Didn't do both design questions..well I just drew a table for the first one. Spent too much time on the titration question. Had to take and weigh the solid twice which was a stupid thing to do. Anyway it's over already..so just have to do well for theory papers.
Anyway, went to meet Huiling to study today cos I had to return her Jet CD and she had to return my Maroon 5 CD. We were supposed to study at the cafe at Orchard Library, but there was no space by the time we went there cos we came rather late. So we decided to walk to Borders. Went shopping along the way. We each bought this sleeveless top from U2..quite nice. Anyway..the cafe at Borders was too ex so in the end we went to McCafe. It was open-air.. but I think the place was quite nice to study at, especially since the weather was also just right. The only thing that sort of put me off was the cigarette smoke. There were quite a few people smoking and the smoke really bothered me a lot. Oh.. I really like the Double Chocolate. It's really sweet but there was too much cream.
Just realised that there are quite a few people from my family who are celebrating their birthdays this month. My younger brother had his last thursday (the same day that my prelims started. Well his started the next day..), my uncle's is today, my cousin's is tomorrow and my youngest brother's is wednesday. I think we're probably going to have dinner to celebrate both of my brothers' birthdays.
Anyway..I think I better go back to studying again. Sigh..it's pretty much my life right now.
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
