Heart to heart...

I had the most fun four hours of my life just now. Just chilling with two of my dearest friends over dinner until 10 pm wasn't really on the top of my list on a school night. But who knew that it would turn out to be such an experience? Anyways, I am dead beat now..school has really been a drag eversince term began. Remember how I was hoping like an eager beaver to kiss the ground of NP (not literally la...c'mon)while I was having attachment? Well, apart from being back with the people I missed being with, there is certainly nothing else that I am really contented with. I mean, there is at least a deadline for something each week, and on top of that, the FYP..it really sucks la..But thank god it's already the last semester of my final year. I can't wait to graduate. I know I shouldn't be complaining because that's how the cookie crumbles in school life. But it's really too much to be doing all these in the span of seven bloody weeks. Yah, that's one school term for the awkwardly planned biotech course, for final year that is. And I don't understand why some people are making such a brou-ha ha over that dinner and dance thing for LSCT. It's just a silly gathering of people I already see in school, and I have to pay sixty bloody dollars of my hard earned money just to see them, only at a different place smartly dressed, or not. I have better things to do thank you very much. Many have asked me to attend the function, but I had to graciously decline and exit the conversation as inconspicuous as possible. Well, I didn't really think that it was nice to say what I really wanted to straight in their faces. Oh, the things I have to do just to come around it. For those who presumably concluded that I am being anti-social, well you're wrong. Once bitten, twice shy baby..and believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Seriously. I am sooo sick and tired of NP, well certain aspects of it actually. Urgh..Yay, my dad said we're going to practise driving on Sunday. Can't wait..Something to look forward to at least.

Annalakshmi and the smelly pig

Yesterday was sooooo coool!! The four of us (Reky, Makcik So'od and Sasi, and yours truly) went to this restaurant in Excelsior Hotel which is in Peninsular Plaza. It's called Annalakshmi. It's this Indian Vegetarian restaurant which has this special ambience. They have paintings and statues and sculptures all over the place, and with the light music being played in the background..that really did it. Let's just call it All Things Indian, cept that the staff speak excellent English of course. One particular guy was soo nice to explain to us the dishes and stuff. But Lo and Behold for I have yet to mention the fact which pleasantly surprised me. I think the slogan of the restaurant says it all: Eat as you please, pay as you wish. How coool right....I LOVE this concept. One thing we observed was that most of the customers were non-indians. I wonder how they had discovered this haven. It's like a refuge for cash-starved students like us. Heh...Anyways, we had lots of items..Two different types of Vadai, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, Poori, Paneer,Yoghurt rice, Gobi Manchurian (which tasted alot like chicken!) and milkshakes. Oh, Reky and I had Gulab Jamun..it's this sweetish ball thing which is soaked in sweeeeet syrup. I tell you, that place is like MMmmmmmm...We only paid 22 dollars..Shhh....We are soo going back there.

However, the nice evening was very quickly spoiled by this guy who smelled reallly bad. Makcik so'od and I were seated at the rear seats of the bus. After like three stops, this bad-smelling guy came and sat beside me. Really terok I tell you..It's as if he hadn't taken a bath for several days, or maybe it's just BO. Either ways, he still stunk. How can people not bath before they go out? Personally, I don't think I would feel comfortable going out without bathing first. It's such a simple, most basic step of personal hygiene. Not only that. It can actually be a social problem. heh..you would be affecting those people who actually have the mind to take time to bath and smell nice before leaving.

*

God..It has been SOO long since I last updated. Anyways, I went to Batam (for the right reasons of course, what were you thinking you dirty pigs..) with my family over the two-day holiday last week. And I tell you the things there are like soooo cheap, just to reinforce that idea to everyone who don't already know that but heard of "rumours". Heh..anyways, I bought a several things..a bag, shoes, clothes..Fun la..

Just to divert, I just cannot stand someone. Just soooo bloody super freaking annoying. I really can't wait for school to end just so I won't see * again. Everytime I see *, I just have the urge of decapitating *. Really. * is just sooo annoying. The bottomline is that I wanna get out of school so that I would have absolutely zilch contact with *. IAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Sorry, I just had to let one out so bad.

The Quest Begins..

I am feeling very anxious. No wait..hesistant is more like it. Should I be applying for the Biological Sciences degree at NTU or NUS? The course programme at NTU sounds more interesting as compared to NUS. But the underlying fact is: will I most likely be successful in gaining admission into it? I mean, needless to say, there ARE other students from school whose grades are more decorated. And I am hoping that they would be aiming for seats over at NUS. Maybe if they could consider flying off to institutes far far away in other continents, and not interfere in my application process, that would certainly most definitely be great! Or should I just wait till after NS and then apply? Would that be too late? So many uncertainties, so little time...Maybe I should just wait for the course talks coming soon. But that would only leave ONE day for application should I apply this year.

...I have other things to worry about now. The stupid FYP poster presentation will be taking place tomorrow. And then the first draft for FYP. Not forgetting the IAP final report.

But on the lighter side, I've found a driving partner! Yay! No more boring theory lessons!
