2 more down and 1 more to go

sorry for not updating for past few days. anyway it was 2 papers away since i last updated. on thursday, well Asia Pacific Business (APB) was ok lah managed to write all i could... vommited as much out as i could abt economic situations of China, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and S Korea. the paper was kinda a surprise to me cos the first question on East Asia was like 60 marks out of 100. scary rit? hai.. wrote pretty little for the others so hopefully wat i wrote was constructive.

had a row with mum over the car and no. i'm not angry cos i couldn't drive but it was the fact that she told me i couldn't have the car like an hour before the start of my exams. was so damn pissed off. mum tried to call me when i was waiting at the bus stop but thought i was too agitated to answer so waited until the second time when i boarded 197 then i answered. luckily my 197 came otherwise thought i was really gonna be late. anyway mum called me to tell me tat she can give me a lift already cos one of the lorries came back so she dun need to rush some goods to hougang already. anyway i was too pissed to say anything. kinda hung up on her. hai... sometimes i jus feel tat my mum puts us (my sis and i) priority too low. and everything is for the shop. hai.. on the bus ride remembered some childhood times when i was waiting and waiting for mum to pick me up. could be well over the off school time etc until when a teacher or the principal would stop their car and ask whether i was ok cos i was the last one left. started to be rather emotional. told myself if i ever have kids, i wouldn't break my promises or up their expectations and disappoint them again. being the career-minded woman that i want to be, i rather not have kids than have them growing up blaming me. i know it's not my mama's fault but jus feel so worked up at tat point of time. hai.. anyway grow up already so i must try to be a better person through all these. mama called when i was on the way home. anyway she offered to drive us to late lunch or rather early dinner at zion rd for prawn mee which was the original plan before my paper. hai.. okok told mama my frustrations and we made up already lah. but to our disappointment, the zion rd prawn mee not open. it has staggered opening hours 12pm-3.30pm then 6.30pm to 10pm. aiyo.. so big shot this prawn mee stall. hai.. ended up eating with mama at great world city. had a big meal yes it's actually 1 and half servings cos was so hungry. haven eaten since morning.

shopped at cold storage. since young, i loved shopping at the supermarket so many things to see and so many things to buy, jus so little money haha.. heee... been to the supermarket pretty often these days with mama.. and trips can be educational like if u bother to read who's the manufacturer, where does the cornflakes come from. shit am i jus bo liao? but seriously thought it is rather useful and an eye-opener for me. hee.. and i can know who's paying the slot allowances i.e. money paid to supermarkets so tat their products would be placed at prominent places consumers are more likely to see. and it works i tell u.

went home, napped and nua the whole night man. really dun feel like doing anything. ended up watching american idol, OC(quite a nice show i think. and the lead is quite cute), my usual dose of xun qin ji, quan neng mei shi show (food variety show hosted by zeng guo cheng). i must be crazy rit? the night before my OM paper i do this. hai.. thought i needed it. oops.. though i struggled with OM the next morning. ok paper a bit later at 2.30pm but decided to have short brunch and quick quick read through my notes.

the OM paper was such a killer but i must agree i underestimated it. hai.. can u imagine there was one question which was exactly the same the previous year and i thought it wouldn't come out again so i din read it very carefully. ended up i rem nothing of the answer jus spin some story. wah lau and some questions jus anyhow go with my instinct. think i'm dead for OM.. hai.. i'm jus not cut out for logistics man... think john and ah bao won me over for finance. hee.. hai.. john never reply me e-mail sad..

came home, hee. napped again and it was tv time again. oops. think no momentum for finance paper on mon already. die die.. supposed to meet robin the next day to compare answers for finance past year papers but i did nothing.. told rob kena scolded by him a bit. anyway thought time was rather well-spent. well yes like sophy said, sad tat JPL is out of idol. hai.. but i wan my john stevens (shit is it his name?) u know the cute cute 17 yr old boy with red hair tat sings jazz and blues. hai.. although i agree with simon john stevens has no charisma. maybe he's too young. but i still love his voice when he sings. reminds me a bit of michael buble. hai.. shld i get the michael buble album. pretty classic songs ok will still ponder or shld i (like wat i told loom today) spend onli after exams and after i change them into foreign currency and to be spent in foreign currency.. hee. i.e. save to spend abroad. we'll see. anyway found another gem in late night tv. this kang xi di guo programme airing at 11pm on channel 8. wanted to watch last week but keep forgetting. very factual, no big stars but jus good old story telling. very interesting to watch ok besides my interest in chinese history, well the costumes were pretty not bad except they dun wear their hair with black cardboards (sorry bad description) but see huan zhu ge ge where they wear tat with accessories on it, but this kang xi show shows imperial ladies wear their hair with no black cardboards and also simple but elegant accessories in the hair. pretty interesting to see. these made-in-china shows mustn't be looked over cos they are really good shows too. can see the subtlety of geatures and in chinese shows not everything is explicitly said or expressed which is the beauty of it. hai.. jus made me so excited abt my shanghai trip again (and found out tat shuang shuang is on attachment there during our stay in shanghai see if can meet up. lucky her man!) sometimes feel tat i'm so "cheena". actually think i have my sec sch to thank - dunman high (de ming zheng fu zhong xue). can u imagine we have bamboo gardens, pavilions, carp ponds, zhong lou, this yuan and tat yuan. hai.. guess i'm still very cheena at heart and i guess to a sense a traditionalist.

saturday morning tried to finish one paper to compare answers with rob. ended up onli finished 3/4. hai... got a "scolding" from rob. hai.. he's my inspiration again. can u imagine he almost finished the 4 past year papers and he is re-doing tutorial questions. oh my god think i can start to light my incense for him. hahaha crazy.. anyway compared answers with him think he is a superb teacher man. so patient when i try to insist on my pts. oops. he also showed me some of his t-shirt company work. pretty impressive. he showed me designs, quotations etc. ok his supremacy in photo shop is needed for his t-shirt company lah so liying dun need to feel inadequate cos he needs tat for a living. i'm really impressed. anyway robin has never failed to wow me. he currently has 2 companies. one is the t-shirt printing one with his army frens(he differentiates his service from others by offering them advice on their designs and even tries to help them modify) and the other one a website tat links buyers to sellers and more like a job seeker website. he is such an overacheiver and he is in my year in biz ad. he still meets his clients during exams time cos he said opportunity cost too high. he jus met one b4 we met up. he is seriously my inspiration and some more he still maintain such a healthy lifestyle both socially and physically. plays bball.. damn shuai.. hahhaa.. oops.. he is so not our normal league. think he's too seasoned. haha...

went to yida's bday chalet at downtown east after tat. met the usual 09 gang (meiting + weicong (meiting's bf), loom, mart, kwek, snoop, shuang, surprise guest junwei). it was a combined party of yida, zai hao (acquitance) and norman (acquitance too). met several of my dhs classmates too (weiyi, still as shuai as ever, abel, lijie etc) and tj ppl too. yida was being force-fed chivas and coke. he gulped down 3 glasses. think he damn zai but thought he was rather tipsy when he talked a little loud and couldn't walk straight. hahha.. teased him a bit but hope he feels better after having it all out. left pretty late cos we were caught in conversation with animated kwek who told us so many army funny stories tat loom was tearing at the end of it, snoop who helped us relive his classics (wat time does 7-11 open?), mart who was late but nonetheless missed and as-usual-animated meiting. weicong offered to drop me on the way to send meiting home but thought i shouldn't intrude on their 2-person-al space so took bus 12 home with loom, mart, junwei and snoop. junwei, our 1st 3 months classmate who transferred to vj. now only ah li keeps in touch with him by playing badminton with him every week. hai.. well i guess he's kinda drifted cos he's not really in 09 but not really out. hard to explain. but anyway all of us exchanged no.s junwei and snoop's new no. left junwei to take the siglap-katong stretch ride. talked a little. caught up a little. think was a long time tat i ever talked tat much to him but well felt good like finding back a lost fren.

anyway it's late if i could get my butt up to run i will... as always.. pls expect the worse. think i'll die in stong.. sophy, zhuzhu, keith and YY are so fit nowadays. may be meeting siang, desmond, loom and mart to join them for their lunch meeting at beach rd to discuss their thailand trip. ok another 2 more past year papers to finish for finance so tat i can proceed up the level so tat i'm closer to "Sage" Robin.

one day more... one day more to revolution... (one day more to freedom)
