For the last few days, I've been bored and close to breaking point. I wanted to write something but nothing was coming out of my head. Even my dodgy half-started story on fictionpress wasn't prodding me to start writing again. But now it's back! This time, I'm going to learn from my previous mistakes and actually plan this story out. But yes, the ( Read more... )

My exams finished last Tuesday so it's almost been an entire week of holidays for me. It feels so good :D The luxury of getting up early not because of lectures but because I want to take advantage of off-peak broadband. The choice of deciding which show to watch on television every day and night. The ability to multitask between browsing the web ( Read more... )

I'm over the hump. Three down. Two more exams to go. I will get to the end. Just try and stop me. *Warrior battlecry*

Listening to Obama's speech while consistently crying, sniffling and hastily wiping tears away, I couldn't help feeling that it was really history in the making. Sure, maybe it's a long way up hill towards recovery, but we have definitely taken a step in the right direction. In the midst of war, terror and the biggest financial crisis in history, ( Read more... )

Sorry but I just have to post this. Seconds ago, McCain gave his concession speech and Obama has been elected as the 44th President of the United States. Wow, I am so happy right now that words cannot describe how I am feeling. For so long, I have feared that Americans may, at the last minute, make a bad judgement but no, common sense prevailed and ( Read more... )

Wah, why oh why did the US put election day right before my finals? So here I am, currently glued to the computer and TV, looking to see who wins, while trying to memorise the steps of glycolysis... Oh well, I'm loving every minute of it. Please, please, please, let common sense intervene so that Obama will win. I honestly don't think I can stand ( Read more... )

For some strange bizarre reason, instead of focusing on my finals and studying like there's no tomorrow (which is what I should be doing), I am finding time to read novels. Not even enlightening, meaningful novels but teenage empty-brained novels. Even stranger, I'm not even focusing on one novel at a time. I've been alternatively reading Twilight ( Read more... )

"The more sophisticated our society becomes and the more it pays homage to intellect and powers of reasoning the more ill at ease it is with death and that which lies beyond. Sometimes those who wield the greatest power and possess the greatest wealth are those who fare worst for here, finally, is something which neither money nor position can win ( Read more... )

Freedom! That’s the first thing I can think of when I sat down to write this post. The last two weeks have just been… hellish, to be honest. Last week, I had a 2,500 words assignment to write and for the first time ever, I actually had problem reaching the word limit whereas before, it was always “oh, okay” cut, “oh, again?” cut and “no, please don ( Read more... )

Last Friday, a friend of mine and I went to watch the Dark Knight together. That was a big mistake since I can't stand any scary movies (and my definition of scary is way below the scary-meter compared to normal people's) and apparently, neither could she. So there we were, the two of us, huddling against each other and covering our eyes half the  ( Read more... )
