EXAMS ARE OVER!
I AM LIBERATED!

Had a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL time yesterday.
I had my very last paper in the morning - Terrestrial and Coastal Environments... it was the BEST paper i had among the 4 exams... Its the only paper i know how to do all the questions, and have confidence that my answers are right! Haha.. Really felt over the moon when the exam ended man.. kept smiling smiling smiling to myself. =) ... =) ... =)

After which i met Sheya for lunch at Plaza Singapura. Then we had a hell of a time at the arcade.. I can say we exercised every part of my body such that we felt so so so shag after the session.. We completed Time Crisis II, played Daytona, tried Dance Dance Revolution and another super crazy game i dunno wad name.. Haha.. By the time i left the arcade, my arms ached, legs ached, and my back ached. Now i see the similarity between the arcade and the gym. Haha...

Despite all the shag-ness... we actually went on with a shopping marathon.. I felt like a bird freed from its cage, flying freely in a paradise aka Orchard.. Haha... Something that guys probably cant understand is how we girls can overcome all odds physically to shop shop shop non-stop.. Tell you all bah.. its really all in the mind.. i think girls' brain are wired to respond to shops and sale signs that say 20% discounts.. A good analogy would be that they are magnets and our brain contains iron.. So we are naturally attracted... And when the brain gets too occupied with the obesession, we forget our fatigue.. Once or twice, i will suddenly 'wake up' and realise that my legs ache alot when im in the toilet (cos for those moments i dun see any shops or sales)... but once out of the toilet.. the 'hallucination' goes on again.. Im a 'drug' addict aka the ultimate shopoholic. =)

SO... we shopped from PS... to OG... to HMV... to Taka... Areas not conquered includes - Cineleisure, Wisma, Tangs, Far East Plaza... The reason being we need to meet Xuan for dinner.. (somehow we can forget fatigue but cant forget hunger.)
We had such a sumptuous dinner at Marche.. basically we were like 3 mad aunties getting their groceries in the wet market.. (not a very good analogy actually. wahaha.) Anyway, Marche is really like an enclosed paradise, a place where you can stimulate your sense of smell, sense of sight and sense of taste... cos you SMELL the food, you SEE it being cooked, and you then get to TASTE it.. And the best part is you only need to hand over a flimsy piece of paper to scan, no money required. Doesnt this sound terrific?!!! People there are like trapped in a limbo, unable to control their actions.. submitting themselves to the cycle of scan, eat, scan, eat, scan, eat.. This place is BETTER than a shopping mall lor, cos you dun even see price tags nor receipts with horrendous numerals. I salute the designer of Marche. =)

So.. we had rosti, baked potato, pork knuckle, calamari and caramel banana waffle. And we chatted for 3 hours. Another thing that guys probably dun understand too is how much we girls can gossip.. We just dun seem to run out of topics.. seriously this i cant figure out. DUN ask me. Haha.. Gossip gossip gossip... I realised one of our best topics was abt our JC teachers.. One example... We talked abt how our physics tutor often tried to crack a joke but failed.. well in our opinion he failed, but to him he thinks his joke super funny la, cos he kept laughing at himself, until we cant help but laugh at how stupid he looked. HAHAHA.. oh teachers so poor thing man... Years after your student left school they still talking bad about you. HAHAHahaha.a..a.. ..oopss.. Im gonna be teacher leh.. !!!!!! ... i will brush up my joking skills..... ....

SO.. one might easily guess that i must be so shag after all the strenuous activities of yesterday, that today i will just flop on my bed and be half-dead. NO.. you are wrong. Guess wad i did today? Yea? You sure can guess rite?? Does it start with the letter 'S'? Oh yessss.. its SHOPPING. (again.)
Really pei fu my korkor Zhiliang.. you may not believe this.. but he - a GUY, actually managed to accompany ME the ultimate shopoholic, around the WHOLE of Bugis!! (minus OG only). Another person to salute to. =) Hahaa... And i must say he has not-too-bad taste of girls' stuff, especially accessories... BUT he still has lots to learn from the guru aka ME.. yea today is only the first lesson. =P Anyway i also must thank korkor for orientating me to the si ma lu guan yin miao (temple).. i really koe nuts abt praying with joss sticks...so today i learnt a new thing... I prayed that him and dasao will bai tou xie lau. =)

Today is the last day of lessons for this semester.
Today is also the happiest day of this semester!!

I got back 3 projects today and I got an A for all of them! WOOOHOOOO!
Leisure, Recreation and Tourism (LRT) projects - A
Leisure, Recreation and Tourism journals - A
East Asia (EA) essay - A
And another project which i got back one week ago,
Changing Landscapes of Singapore - A+
Hahahaa.. sorry for seeming to be haolian-ing.. Im just very very happy... This has never happened to me before.. This is such a morale booster and study motivator for my upcoming exams!!
And now I would like to thank the follow people...
1. All my Changing Landscapes project members - Jiajie, Zhiliang, Jac, Peishi & Laura, for putting in so much effort into it, and especially to JJ and Zhiliang for working the hardest, and providing me with a lot of guidance since i was the only yr2 and obviously the least experienced memeber.
2. All my LRT group members - Hongyi, Jianyin & Ziping, for all the fun time we had in doing this project and during all our tutorials too.
3. JJ and Zhiliang for their help in our LRT project, especially all the good ideas and tips.
4. Zhiliang for his guidance in helping me with my LRT journal.
And lastly,
5. Zhiiang again, for tolerating me as his EA porject partner, cos i've probably brought him more trouble than contribution in the course of this project...(haha. ) And I really learnt a lot of valuable things from him.
And finally, thanks to everybody who has in one way or another made my life this sem a happy one.. Hahaa...

To everyone who are preparing for their exams:
STUDY HARD!
GOOD LUCK!

=)

Exams are coming!!
But I dun seem to feel very stressed yet... Which is a good thing or bad thing?
Yesterday and today were spent mostly on enjoyment.. It doesnt feel like exams are near at all!

Yesterday me and Weiliat had a romantic dinner at the Equinox Restaurant. This is a super high-class restaurant with super nice food, and it is super expensive too la.. haha. (ah boh den.) Its located on the 70th floor of Swissotel Stanford.. so you can imagine how breathtaking the view was... We arrived at about 6.45pm, just in time to see the sun set... WOOOOOOO.. Im sure i have never seen something more beautiful in my life. Maybe its because im a geography student.. i seem to appreciate the scenery more deeply than my bf... I mean as i look at the paranormic view of Singapore's central business district, things from the module Cities In Transition came to my mind.. urbanisation, economic development and stuff... When i saw HBD flats i thought about the PAP's success in providing housing in the process of nation building.. from the module Changing Landscapes of Singapore... When i saw the Singapore River and the Marina Bay, i thought about what i learnt in the module Terrestrial and Coastal Environment.. And when i see foreigners in the restaurant i think about tourism from the module Leisure, Recreation and Tourism..Wahahahaa.. i know you may think this is crazy.. no lor, this is called xue yi zhi yong ok? Hahaa.. Of course i didnt spoil the whole romantic atmostphere by talking about all these to my bf.. which i think he will faint if i do so... Hahaha.. We had a really wonderful dinner, the food was good, the view was good, and we had a nice chat.. without involving geography concepts of cos. =)

As for today... I had a SUPER SUPER DUPER fun time at the Settler's Cafe with my friends - Hongyi, Qing Yue (Moon), Chi Man, Daeyna and Yilin. For the benefit of those of you who dunno this place... this is a cafe where you can eat and play a lot of card or board games and its located at Holland Village. We played games from 2pm all the way to 7pm non-stop.. We played Game of Life, Taboo and another very fun game which i cant remember the name.. My favourite was Taboo!! I tell you i really laughed so much until my stomach pain and my mouth there the muscle still ache up till now. The best part is Slow's excellant acting skills! (Slow is Yilin's nickname, obviously cos she do everything also very slow la.) She could imitate an asthma attack so well that we were too busy laughing to guess the answer! Hahaha... end up the answer wasnt 'asthma'.. it was 'afraid'... i wonder wads the link.. but anyway it was very very funny.. really.. she sounded like she was hyperventilating. Haha.. At first we still thought she will live up to her name - Slow, and would be very slow indeed.. but turns out she was one of the best at Taboo. We were impressed! Haha... I also not bad k.. I held the highest record of 8 correct answers within the time limit! (which means i managed to make my group members guess correctly 8 words) If you played Taboo before you will know that it is not easy... the Taboo words (words u cant mention) are out to kill you!!! Its so hard to avoid them! But thats the funny part la.. cos u will see pple use super weird ways to get the message across without saying the Taboo words... And sometimes after so much efforst still blurt it out by mistake... haha.. then thats toooo bad. Haha.. fun game eh? Those who never play before shd try! Go on down to Settler's Cafe and enjoy yourselves bah!

AAAAHHHH!! Dun feel like studying liao la!!! Can just everyday go there and play???
Wah lau.. can jiu hao liao... Nevermind.. after exams MUST go back AGAIN.. and again.. and again.. haha.
