[[cyclical]]

Realized that during examination period, the number of visitors to my blog cycles up and down depending on whether do they have exams on that day. And so it's the 2nd or 3rd day for BS year 3 to revise their plant and I see a spike in the visitor number.

Besides my friends who will come and read my not very intellectual content, I often wonder why others came. So I came up with a few reasons

They are honestly fans of my blog (bah!)
They dislike me, and yet still want to kpo
They want to play with the clouds on my blogskin
They want to hahaha at my English/how cui I am
They want to take contents off my blog to bitch about

and the MOST important reason of all...

THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW EACH AND EVERY BS STUDENTS FEEL AFTER EVERY PAPER

so that they know roughly where they stand.

This competition thing has really taken a toll on every bs yr 3 student.

Last time people contend themselves with closet muggers and this year we have to contend ourselves with closet + OPEN muggers.

Animosity has got to be real high behind the fake smile and words of encouragements. This is one scene I am definitely not missing when I am so out of here. I shall blog more about all these muggers after the exams. No time to feel disgusted over them.

(Wait a sec, maybe people also consider me as one ?)

Doesn't matter :D If that's the case, chao mugger can hate chao mugger too.

but anyway,

in case you are looking for some clues about how I cui or killed my papers, you can press Alt-F4 or Cmd- W now, but if you want to spend time on this entry and analyzed whether have I cui my paper, well feel free. 20 bonus points on BP101 if you get it right.

Righty, off to photosynthesize known knowledge.

[[luck]]

Some nonsensical comic relief :P

Much thanks to my stuffies, I survived the no-life "in-camp" pretty well.

Yesterday was the 1st paper and a couple of good news came prior to it.

Firstly, I was accepted into UWA exchange program. Cuzzie offered to help me pay (FIRST) the insurance, so that I don't have to go through the whole messy currency exchange crap and all the bank charges.

Secondly, I finally went into the lab and sign my name on some sort of contract, stating that I agreed to have my name posted on the journal. Considering how little I have done, I was really exhilarated about this news. Hah! My name is on a journal FIRST Dear :P

So with very much thanks to Sian's old notes and everything, I did the paper really happily. I shan't say more about the paper :)

Now it's back to time with stuffies :D

[[scum]]

With a stroke of inspiration, I found a nice new name for 房客： scum in society

scum 的种类很多。

譬如说，那些比较粗俗，无恶不作的人。

不过今天要说的，是斯文败类。

昨晚想了很多，不过今天忘了。

没关系。

对于房客的事，聊再多也沒有用。

Scum 就是 scum，是永远无法彻底改掉的scum。

有时我觉得人太聪明也沒有用。

缺陷堆积如山，惹别人厌。

挺可怜的。

头脑那么发达，却连思考都不会，只懂得死读书，原来这是新加坡所谓的人材。

这种对社会，对家庭毫无贡献的人，真的浪费我们的米粮。

也许我不是很聪明。

也许奖学金得主永远没有我的份。

也对，死读书因该也要有奖励，不然死读书干嘛？

每次只会让人心灰意冷因该是这位房客最拿手的。

去台湾你就自己冷吧。我有妈咪陪。起码妈咪的fashion sense没你的差。

我该去上香祈福，希望神明无论如何都得把我送去澳洲，这样你因该会很开心。冷冷的房间终于是你的了。我也是，6个月不用看到这种人，心情也会很好。不，会变的更好。

嗯。。或许败类会变呢？

江山易改，本性难移听过吗？

这件事就到此为止。

这所谓的“情”也断了。

不要怪我以后见死不救。

这种血没比水来的深。

因为我见识到他老早不把血看在第一位。

Scums of society.

There is NO WAY I am going to help anymore.

[[countdown]]

Final few days of countdown to examination... with a twist.

Had been in a frenzy trying to solve some matters which shouldn't even exist, but existed thanks to meddlesome jealous fools. Well, it takes more than just that to take me down. For once I am truly grateful to my friends around the world. I guess 远亲不如近邻 wouldn't work that well here.

All the same, I do need more luck for this whole thing to blow over.

Thanks sian for the late night you know what. Reckoned I wouldn't be able to sleep that night if not for you know what.

This was how the weather was like today.

Finally the rainy season is here (albeit early)!

So studying communism in China gets a bit boring sometimes, so I took a shot of Mago's butt.

I think big Mago has a real intestine inside, because it seemed like all the cotton were digested.

Hmm.

Oh, Mago here on the other hand has a perky butt don't you think :D

Seeing that I have "nothing to do" I decided to squash Marsh into some corners.

Did manipulation with my phone and ta da!!

He looks even more hilarious now. HOHOHO.

Right, let get back into China now.

[[yog]]

Thanks to YOG, our school had to delay the starting of the semester from this year on. And oh, it doesn't just end there.

So starting a couple of weeks later than usual is cool, seeing that the first week coincided with National Day. (or was it the second? Never mind)
And so they say they would do up the pool nice nice during the school holidays and guess what ? People are still happily swimming during the hols. And then ? They happily and quietly go and reconstruct that whole place without telling us students DURING the semester.
Oh while all these stupid constructions are going on, we have to PAY for the sports facilities which we are supposedly able to use.
So our exams starts late and ended late as well. Nice. It totally threw me of the whole cycle of "by XX week, I should have start panicking"
And then, exams ends in DEC when it should by right (as before) ended in Nov. I CAN'T WATCH TWILIGHT MARATHON ON DEC 2 because of the stupid exams.

Nice going.

While you chivalrously agreed to host this nonsense, saying that all students should be understanding and it's a national pride, have you go through your think skull and think of how to MINIMIZE as much inconvenience YOG will cause to the bigger population ? (Cue: Yes, we did already, but some things are beyond our control)

Just because you guys finished your exams like in dino past, and probably you have your own swimming pool to swim in doesn't mean we have.

Aren't we a society who likes to send emails, bcc-ing and cc-ing everyone ?

Whatever happen to that regarding the pool ? Can't find the "suitable" department to send the emails huh ?

With so much dislike for YOG, it's a no wonder why it takes 4 rounds of circulars trying to get volunteers. (Cue: No no, it's because we are trying to get high standard volunteers and that's why we rejected quite a number. There were a lot of people who were jumping up and down eagerly to be volunteers)

Load of bullshit.

And we kena the shit.

This is Mago on Halloween's Day. She had recovered from her neck sprain and told me she didn't want to dress up like a mummy, so the theme of her clothes was "Emperor's New Clothes"

And on Halloween we learnt about cancer.

She kept asking me to check for lumps everywhere but I could only feel the ventral skin touching the dorsal skin. (crap, developmental is rubbing off me)

And yesterday, she asked me "Why do we have to study again ?" (Btw, the $2 potage soup from Daiso is superb for a cheap snack)

Sigh, I wish I could say "We don't have to :D "

But I didn't and I can't. And so I shan't and mustn't say.

And so we...

Learnt about how some small cells called T and B cells together with some small molecules called cytokines rage war with everything they hate seeing.

And at the end of the day..

Mago grew some wrinkles and she's dead tired.

So is her owner.

Still, I had a booster on Friday.

Spontaneous dinner with Luppy.

Something I was grateful for.

It's been long since I really laughed that hard about things that

1) Don't concern school

2) or I learnt in school.

Especially so since I am convinced that I did score badly for 306 (though everyone was telling me otherwise...)

Thanks :D

Oh, I won a pair of premiere tickets to 2012 too :D

It came as a surprise because I just sms-ed for the sake of it.

Didn't really want to watch it because it would probably escalate my fears about 2012. (Cue: oh wouldn't you just look at that bimbo, she got the tics which other people want and say she didn't want it. Sheesh!)

But I won it. Yay!

[[sometimes]]

I guess sometimes all it takes was just a little "Are you ok?"

And maybe other times, it will do good to do something rather than being angry.

So I walked in the rain.

It was only towards the end of this journey, I realized the reason why.

I smiled.

Thank you.

For showing me how I used to be.
