start of revision..?

now that suzi's gone, it's the perfect time to start my revision. or maybe not. since she's left, the whole flat is to myself, which means i can watch all the tv i want, play all the games i have and be merry! nah.. thing is we have like less than 2 months to the exams. so i have to really buck up and study hard. this year is gonna be so bad. will have to be more hardworking than i've ever been to get a decent result. at least, my spanish exam went quite alright. the paper was fairly easy, but i made a few mistakes here and there. the oral was actually pleasureable. haha. oral exam i mean. not the kind of thing that most of my guy mates are thinking. so humanities are done. i'm left with the core of my course. which frankly i have no idea what's going on. but nevermind, i should pull through. somehow..

so.. i had a week of fun. been lazying about and then went to amsterdam last wednesday. amsterdam's cool, but very tempting place. the nightlife is quite good. considering what they sell in the nights. both sex and drugs. two of the worst tangible temptation a man can face. so anyway, the place is not as sleazy as i had made it to be. it's actually a quite beautiful city, with canals and all. nice place to walk. the city's fairly compact. so, i've been to london, paris, barcelona and amsterdam.. and i would say the cities are ranked as follows: barcelona, amsterdam, london, paris. yeh, based on what i've experienced in these cities, barcelona seems the most attractive place to live in. really cool, hip city.. and still very cultured and filled with loads of history.

so, i'm back here. suzi's in philippines. many of you are in singapore or left stranded in london. yeah, was thinking. you never really treasure someone as much, until they're gone. though i fancy the idea of living alone, i realise the place can feel empty when your loved ones are not around. felt that first when i went to ns. missed my family during the first three weeks of confinement. then when i came to london, missed the company of my friends initially. so of course, i will miss you. even though you can be naggy and annoying. but miss hearing you having a go at me. ok, enough been said. i should really go work and revise. or should i go play ps2 and watch naruto????? hmm...

the pressure and fats are piling..

its 4 days to the exams. i'm still quite slow with my revision. i was slowed down by the delphi assignment we had to hand in. thing is i completed it a few weeks ago, but decided to improve on some error-handling crap. yeah all these jargons. in a nutshell, i wanted to be extra so i diverted attention from spanish to this useless program.

anyway, turning the clock back by about half a year ago, i was fighting fit. after all, i spent the summer holidays working and also swimming and running. all those efforts have gone down the drain after coming here. i did try joining the ic x-country club. but the people there are a bit mad la. they can run really fast, really long in really cold conditions. so, my attendance with them is like 2 out of however many weeks we have had in school. bring on the food of suzi and beers of london. coupled with pub football and birthday parties. the fats that i've never known on my once-occupied-by-packs tummy has turned the stomach region to a wobbly hill. am i being vain here? nah, i'm being real. a skinny dude with a bulging potbelly is not a turn on. the physical consequences of having it are increased tiredness and feebleness. i have known of this situation for half a year. half a year of no exercising, beer drinking.. leads to destruction.

few days ago, my bus pass ran out. so i decided to save money and rid fats by running to school. yeah, running to school. been tough. but i'm getting used to it. the enthusiasm's still there. results are not showing yet. but i will perservere.. i will.

one week to espanol exams..

hola amigos! como estais? blah blah blah..

i'm ready. i'm going to be ready for my spanish exams. i must be ready. i gave up on politics last friday after receiving a 'C' for my essay. after all, a 'C' meant that i need to score about 55/70 for the politics exams and easter essay. so it's like impossible la. i like politics, but seriously don't have the time to read up on its history from plato's work to the european union constitution. so screw it, i decided. oh ya, i was quite disappointed with my essay on plato and aristotle, 'cos it was the one piece of work that i put a lot of effort into, and the results didn't meet my expectations.

ok la, onto better things, had quite a bit of fun these two weeks. the 'reach' event, the supposedly-not-so-good-but-turned-out-quite-alright mss night and lim's birthday. yeh, i met yanjie. it's yan2jie2, not yan4jie2. ya, the funny economist from lse.. we almost missed one another, but joseph caught him in time. haven't seen him for ages and his hair is damn long. our course officer wouldn't be pleased man!

suzi just disturbed me and i lost my train of thoughts. she'd also described lim's bday really well. i have nothing to say. so until we meet again, good luck to me in the exams.. come on, gimme an A, an A*..

welcome to my new place. i'm just bored with the old xanga format, so here i am, following the crowd. today was singsoc election. congrats raj and chong wai and the rest of the new committee. left early so don't know who the rest are. but anyway, i must say the previous committee did a good job. especially the superwoman kaileng. alright, as you can see i'm done with xanga, just as i'm done with laziness for the next four months or so. ojala!
