rupees

Yesterday was like a going for a history field trip. Went to change S$ to rupees at Mustafa yesterday because am going to India (YEAH!!!). Side track a little, i must say i feel RICH having all the rupees with me...my wallet was bulging when i put the rupees inside. Couldn't stop counting the money...ok, yes i am psychotic and silly and anything.

Back to the history lesson thing, i went to Farrer Park together with 'mum' and Poh and when we reached there, Poh started to give us a mini history of Farrer Park. He told us that the Fortuna Hotel collapsed once while it was under construction and now it has been rebuilt. While walking, we also passed by the Singapore Turf Club building (no longer there) and Poh told me that before the building was used by the Singapore Turf Club, it was a NTUC supermarket where the business was excellant because there was a car-park nearby but then the gov. do away with the car-park to build the Farrer Park MRT station, causing a dropped in business, thus the NTUC closed down (ahh...so now you know!). Then my father, who came over after that to drive me home, brought me to see his old house which was in some street that i can't recall the name, but i know it is near Bendemeer Secondary School. He told me about the history of his life which was very interesting. When i say interesting, it is referring more to the moment that we shared rather than his life, caused my father and i seldom have a proper talk or conversation. When we talk, it is usually when i need to inform him about something or when he asked me a question and i answer. It is unlikely we will talk about his past and that is by the way, our longest father and daughter conversation.

Anyway, i am left with only one more paper to go and i can be free!!!

law paper

Yesterday's law paper really Super Ultra Crap KaseS (SUCKS). No offence Ms Peter, i really like your law lesson...it is fun and everything but that law paper was a killer! Not to worry though, i still like law.
Anyway, i have to kiss goodbye to my 22 marks because i did not do 3 questions! Yes, you read right...3 QUESTIONS!!! Now all i can do is pray for the best like what Zar said. I really pray that i can at least get a C.

A few things i have learnt through the test:
1) NEVER be cocky and think that you will have time to finish your paper even before you started writing any answers.
Initially i thought i was able to finish all the questions because during the 10mins of reading time, i was able to finish reading all the questions except the last and i also managed to answer all the 5 mcqs. When the lecturer said we may start the paper, i was pretty confident i was able to answer all the questions since my 5 mcqs are done and i have read through most of the qns. Now i know it is wrong to think that way for law because it requires a lot of thinking for each question. Well time waits for no man, in the end i still did not managed to finish everything!

2) NEVER ever leave any question blank and think that you will have time to go back and answer them after attempting all the other questions, at least not for law!

3) NEVER use correction pen (fluid type) for exam papers!
Come to think of it, i think i have missed out some words where i have 'liquid'(don't know a correct term to use) them and forgot to write the correct word on...AHHHH. Ok i shall not cry...I shall be S.t.r.o.n.g

Oh well the paper is over so i shall not think about it....now i will have to go back to my ConB!

nothing better to do

Nothing better to do right now so decided to update my blog! Currently i am doing my dma project...actually my group members are working while i am slacking! Oh ya went to the immigration buliding yeterday because i need to update the photo of my passport..the place looks really familiar to me although i have gone there like only once, when i was in primary 4! After waiting 5 minutes for the updating of our passport photo, Poh and me found an ice-cream auntie selling ice-cream using her mobile store. I love those ice-creams because it is cheap and it is an ice-cream with a lot of flavours! It's a sad thing that such traits are dying because not many people know how to make those ice-cream and not many people wanna take up such jobs!

I will be having my examinations in about 1 weeks time, it seems like time is running out for me to study (start pressing the panic button now). I will survive!

thinking about my future

Hooray! Several good news to announce...
1) finally i can rest well after many hectic weeks of rushing our project.
2) i am not suffering from constipation anymore (at least for this few days)
3) in a few weeks time, i will be going to India. In case you people want to know when i am going to India, it is on 2rd Oct and it is until 10th Oct. Pretty excited actually, the only thing now that is distracting me from thinking about the trip would be my examinations which is coming up in one week time.

This few days i have been thinking, what have i achieve in life? I have been thinking very hard but i just can't think of anything that i can be proud of. I feel so aimless... i know i should be optimistic but i seriously can't figure out what talent i have...i believe that everyone has a talent within them but where is mine? It seems like everyone in my class have achieve something in their lifes. Like zarifah, she have achieve quite a lot with her photography skills, ali is writing for newspapers, waishin knows how to play clarinet. It kind of worries me that my friends are achieving something in their lifes and they are all starting to discover their own talent but i am lagging behind!
