At 7am Friday morning I was pinching myself to stay awake. By 10.10am I was wide awake and grinning happily. Economics by then had just ended. FREEDOM!

So I watched Hairspray.
The dancing and singing were quite cool. Not that the songs were anything to scream about. But the dancing was nice. Sometimes I wish our generation dances. Not hip-hop, but dances like ballroom and american styles.

That is a picture of Edna Turnblad and Tracy Turnblad. Edna is played by John Travolta. No, they didnt just put him especially in a fat suit and women's clothes for this show. Apparently in every Hairspray play Mrs Turnblad is played by a guy. Don't ask me why. When Travolta appeared on-screen I was like "So that's him." But my friend was aghast.

Look at how much Hairspray they need for those hairdo!

Amanda Bynes also acted in this show. Personally, I used to think that she would make a lousy actress or something. But she wasn't too bad in Hairspray. But with her hairdo and her wide eyes she could pass for a barbie doll. And she sucks lollipops during the whole show.

Well, Hairspray wasnt too bad on the whole. Except that it was boring in some parts. But tolerable.

Hairspray pollution! Ackkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

One more paper to go. Economics is the last paper in the whole trials. So that means that the science students end earlier than us business students. It's sad to see that they end earlier... while we suffer another day.

Since today I didn't have any paper, I slept in. What a wonderful feeling!!! You see, despite having holidays and weekends I never really had the chance to sleep in. In the holidays I usually wake up by 6 or 7 am and go to college.... to do my homework. And I'm always up by 7.30am on Saturdays. Sundays are the only time I sleep in, where I wake up by 9am. So even though today I woke up at 7.30am, I really felt happy! Especially since for the past week I had to wake up at 5.30am for my morning trial papers. Anyway, even though there's no trial paper today I went to college. Main idea is to study Economics, but in the end I studied nothing. Haiz.

I met Ee Ann and Ee Wei in the library today. They had just finished their last paper, Physics. I let Ee Ann listen to a song by Weird Al, Don't Download This Song. She cracked up at it and listened to a few more songs by him. Then she said "Hey! He has a good voice! Is he cute?"
Me: Why?
Ee Ann: Because if he is then I'll like him
Me: I dunno. But what if he turns out to be a fat, short guy, with pimples over his face and is a person who digs his nose in public?
The ever optimistic Ee Ann didn't even hear me. "I'm sure he's not so bad lah."
So anyway being highly curious she immediately logged on to a computer and searched up his pictures.
Me: So how does he look?
Ee Ann: Cheh. Not cute also.
Me: Told ya he could be fat and short.
Ee Ann: It's not that lah. In his pictures he poses as things like pirates. Oh well, he writes all those crazy kind of songs, so no wonder he's a bit crazy as well.
Me: Haha. Who knows? Maybe he's actually in an asylum, writing all these songs from there.
Ee Wei: Haha. Very true.
But anyway Ee Ann still want his songs.

Well, people, wish me luck for my final paper.

Gwaaaaa!!!!

Trials is killing me. My Accounting paper sucks, and to top it up, tomorrow is Specialist Math. I am sooo not ready for it... Somebody please kill me!

Zomg, Friday...please come fast fast fast!!!

So....
8 different points about my perfect lover (male)
~Interesting
~Funny
~Loves me
~Caring
~Taller than me
~Considerate
~Makes me smile
~Understands me the best

My perfect lover doesn't have to look good, or have tons of money. Just as long as I like him. And if he's not funny, or interesting, goodbye. I hate being bored the most =P

Phew! One down, four more to go. What am I talking about? Well, SAM Trials have arrived. The trials are important for us, mostly because a chunk of our internal marks are from the trials. Just thinking of the trials make me nauseous. I havent really been studying for it, so now I'm praying hard that I dont do too badly for it.

MPH is the biggest and coldest exam venue around. However, even though I stole my bro's thick jacket for today I didn't even wear it. I suppose it's because I dont feel very cold. But when our mentor (also the head of the Math dept.) announced that there was 10mins left I started to feel very, very cold. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. Is it nerves, or something else? Or maybe because my mind had flown away during the exam it ignored the fact that my body was cold the previous 3 hours? Yes, my mind do wander a lot during exams. Basically, I do my exam papers with half a brain while the other half dreams away. Almost as if a part of me is detached during the exam.

A new lesson in Math, Rotational Motion, that made our heads go round. Learned a new equation, which when keyed into the GC gives us ellipses and circles. Being bored with the lesson, I played around and got...this....

Who says you cant do art with math?

Camwhoring for no reason at all =P

This is just so cute >.<

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Neglected my blog. Not that it matters anyway, since there doesn't seem to be many readers :P

Today I sat for the mock math exam. Not compulsory, but went anyway to gauge myself. My class was assigned to the MPH. It was freaking cold. Imagine sitting in the same chair for 3 hours straight, with a small table to work on in a very cold room. But now I know what to expect for the trials....
1. Must eat breakfast!!! Breakfast provides energy to last 3 hours in an arctic room.
2. Wake up early! If not sure will miss the morning exams which start at 7 am.
3. Wear a thicker jacket. Next time I'll bring my super-thick jacket which I wore to stave off the cold in Europe.
4. Prepare the formula sheets. Especially important since I'm taking not one, but 2 math subjects. Without the formula sheets, my mid-year Specialist Maths would have been a disaster...

I managed to get my hands on the piano scores for the songs in Secret. Right now I'm attempting to play Secret. Luckily the score is not too hard. I still can't play songs with more than 3 sharps or flats. I managed to get the hang of the hand crossover (where the left hand goes over the right, if you saw Jay play Secret in the movie you would know what I mean).

Hairspray came out in cinemas just recently. I really want to watch it!!!! Besides having John Travolta as a mother, it's a musical. I always had a weak spot for musicals~ Hopefully TGV will continue screening it until I can watch it...

Okay...this is one of those 'tag' things, except that I didn't get tagged. But it loked interesting, so I thought I might as well do it ... with some modifications, of course =P

Celebrating with family is quite fun, especially so if it's with my cousins. I went back to my hometown over the weekend to celebrate my birthday with my cousins and the rest of my family. This time round though, I celebrated with...birthday boy Alex!!! Happy 20th Birthday, Alex!

After arguing who should cut the cake...

When me and Helena tried to feed each other...

10 YEARS AGO....

Can you spot me in the picture? XP

NOW....

How much 10 years has changed us!!!

To celebrate... my parents brought me to TGI Friday's on Merdeka day!!!!! I haven't been there since I was a small kid... We had the set meals from TGI Friday's.

Chicken Parmesan Tortilla

Ultimate Margharita - complete with alcohol!!! =3

The waiters are dressed in traditional clothes. This waiter has at least 7 flags in his songkok!!!

There was dessert as well, but unfortunately before I could snap photos of it it was already under attack! We had Cookies n' Cream and a Mocha Pie. Delicious! :P

Then to end Merdeka Day... I did something illegal! haha... and while I was doing it... a police patrol car came! I nearly panicked!!! But luckily they didn't notice anything! LOL

So today is really my birthday. I can't believe how fast 17 years has gone by. I still remember being a small toddler in tadika. Haiz...how fast time goes by! Hard to believe that I'm now in college, a 17-year-old girl, finally a class rep, and still stinking in her studies.

I finally saw Secret today! It is good...but I wouldn't go so far to say I cried while watching it. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but I really enjoyed hearing the music throughout the movie. It makes me feel that I should have been more diligent in playing the piano...

I'm celebrating again tomorrow in my hometown... Together with my cousins and other family members. To Jia Yi and Kenny, thanks for treating me! To all those who wished me a Happy Birthday, thank you for remembering! :D
