Exams are finally overr!!!! ROAR! I'm so happy I can scream non stop, except the fact that people will think I'm crazy. Blogging has not been part of my life lately because of the influx of essays (Apparently I had more essays to do this sem) and the grueling revision for exams. Post modernism was my last paper. In my opinion, it was the toughest out of all the subjects. I didn't do that well at all for my post mod essay (Got a B). I was squirming in front of Murphy when I went to collect my essay as his remarks about my essay were rather appalling. =( In general, there was much to be said about the syntax and grammar that affected my ideas in the essay. But after confessing to him that I was not enjoying every moment of in the writing process, I was embarrassed because he told me that my attitude was reflected in my writing.... gah....
Whatever... there were others like me who 'suffered' too. I am so not a post mod. person. Realism RAWKS my socks baby.... Did well in all the other realist modules (essay wise; especially in American literature). Never gotten so many As in my life at one go.... I am contented. (Bliss*)
Yesterday was quite a bit of a shock as something happened to my dad's leg. Some of you may know that he has a clot on his leg for several years now, but blood unexpectedly burst from his leg yesterday. We were all freaked out because the floor looked like a murder scene. My dad happened to step on his blood and his footprints left a bloody trail on the floor (Like the escape of the murder or something). My mum and my sis quickly dashed him to the hospital, leaving me to clean up the bloody mess. FREAKY.... I have never cleaned a pool of blood before. The thought that it was my dad's blood scared me into the realization of the importance in the matters of life and death and I never prayed so hard, while cleaning the floor with shaky hands. But thank God, my dad's bleeding was not life threatening. He came home by midnight with a bandage wrapped around his leg. He took leave today and is back to normal (Thanks for all your prayers).
Now... that exams are over, I've decided to look around for an internship program to gain experience during the holidays. I didn't sign up with the school's internship program because (1) I couldn't be bothered and (2) I guess I can use the 3AUs for some other interesting subjects. I'm in the midst of typing out my resume so I can start submitting to wherever I want asap.
If you're bothered to know about that financial crisis I endured awhile earlier, well, I'm still making my payments on time without starving my ass off. It's amazing that tithing with a revelation of Christ is really powerful, although it is expected that only some of you will know what I'm talking about.
What else? Oh.... my table is in a mess. Always is after exams. It's called the ravages of post exams. The shelf above me is overloaded with files since year one and I'm very amazed that it hasn't sagged under all the weight of the thick files accumulated over the years. I counted the files in total. I have 5 thick files of A level history and 5 thick files of A level lit (They do come in handy sometimes) and (Shudder*) I have more than 30 THICK files of literature since year 1.... It is certainly worth more than a group of trees combined. Gawd... how am I going to clear them all????
Whatever... I have enough time to clear everything. Now I would really want to slack. But not before introducing my latest major crush to you guys.... My boyband crush (gah! Feel like an adolescent again) is this Korean confection called Super Junior which is a 13 member group resembling somewhat like Johnny Jr. and Morning Misume. I wanna blame Yujun for introducing me to this fabulous group because I'm hooked onto their variety and drama/ comedy shows on youtube and crunchyroll. Hee... never had so many superficial crushes at one go. =D Anyway here is my current favourite picture of them.
Top row from left to right: Hee Chul, Sung Min, Dong Hae, Siwon, Hankyung and Eunh yuk.
Bottom row (Ditto): Kang In, Ye Seung, Ryeo wook, Shin Dong, Kyu hun, Kibum and Leeteuk. Feel free to guess my favorite members..... heehee...
SLACKING TIME IS NOW>....... tata!
