exams start this saturday, and ive just started revision. which actually means im just starting to catch up on all the readings that have not been done yet. am worried about the stuff to cover for deviance, social thought, and those for indochina. not only is there quite a pile left undone, they are pretty complex too! just need to persevere abit more i guess. cant wait for the semester to end. 3 months holidays man 3 months. that in itself is a motivation. and im sure my sentiments are shared by many too. haha.

went to yan's niece's birthday celebration cum mini-bbq last saturday, and met the whole family. plus a few more auxillary aunts and uncle who were there too. nervous and reluctant as i was, i couldnt really turn the invitation down. not nice to do so yea, its only polite to accept the invite i guess. aniwaes, you can imagine how awkwardly kancheong i was throughout the night. so scared to say or behave in a way that would misguide their first impressions of me. but i hope i did okay. they were hospitable enough, though there were quite stumping moments when i had to engage in small talk with her parents, especially the dad. dads are always fearsome. they just have this aura la. but her 1st sis and hubby are pretty chummy with me already. which is great i think. never hurts to have support from within. =)

finally got the last essay done. pretty much a good piece of intellectual crapping i feel, not that sciency as it should i think. did it all the way through sunday nite til monday early morning. feels good to get it out of the way. can direct my energies to the exams now. and praying for it. haha. continued the rest of monday by staying back in school to get some readings done before heading home after catching desperate housewives on the nus webcast. did the crazy thing of washing my bike in the middle of the night (it seriously needed to be cleaned) underneath the block til like about 1.30am before ending heading up. fatigue overwhelmed and i concussed soon after. not before giving myself some washing up too of course.

spent today in campus with imah, mariam punk rock & yan revising and fighting mosquitoes. wasted hours trying to comprehend some indigestible readings which, unsurprisingly, ive already forgotten by now. aaah well. the company's good though.good mix of fun and seriousness. pretty tired now, will head to the bed soon. shall try those darn readings again tomorrow la...
