Finished exams today.
Started on the wrong note, ended on an even worse note. Papers in-between were good though.
Dread the outcome, really. 50-50 is never a good risk to take in any situation. *crosses fingers, toes and nose*
This semester has been an interesting one. I had 4 papers - one of which I studied the hardest for in my entire uni life, 1 of which has got to be the weirdest exam I've taken so far in my entire uni life, 1 paper that I've felt the most confident for so far & the last paper...well...one of the worst I've taken so far. So this semester has really pushed me emotionally & mentally.
So tired. So used to sleeping 2 hours a day that I can't sleep more than that anymore even if I want to. Hence I am still awake at 1am.
Went to the city with Syl. Not the best time to go to the city now because it's freezing and raining. Malls provide a source of comfort though, as always :)
Saw these cute things in Myer:
Their trash bin!!
They have a clothes brand named "For love or money"!! So cute!! We want that suitcase so badly!!
Myer city basement has got to be one of the most creative shopping outlets that I've seen so far. They have things like folded jeans inside this thing that looks like a huge transparent fridge (like those you see in supermarkets with products inside) with the heading "FRESH". How cool is that lah!!
People can be so creative.
Off to pack for Sydney!! I can't wait for next semester (honestly) - call me crazy but...I'm so excited about it because there are so many activities lined up for me!! Especially in September!! THE MOST HAPPENING TIME OF 2007!!! Wake me up when September COMES!!!

It's a sad day for Arsenal fans. Henry is being transferred to Barcelona. Yupyup... :(
Harry Kewell is in Singapore! The Socceroos are in Singapore for a friendly!! Dang, wish I was there. :(
At the end of exams, I will become:
1. Blind, from staring at the computer for too long, making notes
2. Drowsy & nauseous from lack of sleep
3. Retarded from burnt brains - overworked & underpaid
4. Part of my furniture - by sitting in my chair for the longest time without moving
Studying is hazardous. *sigh*

I've been going through too many changes this year. I am still trying to get used to them.
As I said before, why can't things just stay constant? I like constant. I'm happy with constant. Change is not a good thing. Ironically, I just read someone's blog and that someone said that change is the only thing that is constant.
I want to be someone else. I don't like the person that I am. Nobody understands.
Identity crisis. Mid-life crisis. Hiahz.
To my Singapore khakis (u noe who u are): I miss you all now more than ever

Yummy!

Most exciting thing that happened yesterday was the shooting in Melbourne city. It's funny. When the shooting happened at Monash Clayton, I was in the city. Now when the next shooting happened in the city, I'm at Monash Clayton. I must be damn lucky. Either that or I'm never where the action is.
My condolences to the brave solicitor's family - he gave his life to save the woman. Some may say it wasn't a fair exchange but a life is a life and no one's life is more valuable than another's.

I have been prone to bouts of nausea, headaches and abdomen cramps for no reason recently - not sure if it's because of the lack of sleep I've been getting (I get like 9 hours one day and then 3 hours the next - and even when I try and get 9 hours, I keep waking up in the middle of the night, or have lots of weird dreams so it's like I haven't slept much) or cuz of the cold. I usually get woken up because it's too cold - then when I turn the heater on it gets too hot and stuffy - yet I can't open the window because it's too cold then it just defeats the purpose of switching the heater on in the first place!! I am sooOOooo desperately in need of a good, long and undisturbed sleep!! I just hope it's nothing too serious. Whatever it is, it can wait till after exams.
Speaking of exams, this is keeping me going!!

I'll be in Sydney in exactly 10 days!! WOOOHOOO!!! It's been too long since I've been there. Sydney is like the most happening place in Australia - Melbourne only comes in 2nd.
Have a lot of things to do after the exams. I hate it when the end comes and then you have to plan where to go next. Why can't things just stay constant??

I was complaining awhile ago that I was bored of my music because I've heard it all to death.
I now have something exciting and new.
I am currently listening to...
This is Chris Daughtry, who came in at number 4 on the 5th season of American Idol (the one where Taylor Hicks won). He's the lead singer of this band (named after himself). Their music is essentially rock with all the guitars and drums (similar to Dean Geyer's but Daughtry's is less poppish).
This album sold really well in the U.S. and beat out all the other American Idol contestant albums - "The album is currently the #1 album of the 2007 Billboard and Calendar Year in the entire music industry. In addition it is also the 6th best selling digital album of all time." (Wikipedia)
I am addicted. I heard his first single "It's not over" on the radio a couple of times and liked it immediately, that's how I discovered him. I like all the tracks on his album so far - some angry, some sad - his voice is very powerful and rockish (lol can't find the words to describe it).
Chris wrote & co-wrote 10 out of the 12 tracks on the album and there's one song that's co-written by Ben Moody - "What about now". Chris sounds a bit like the lead of Nickleback.
Good thing about this album: If you like one, you'll like all the tracks because they sound similar.
Bad thing about this album: Halfway through you may get sick of it because all the rock and guitars and drums may get grating. It's also a pity that the background music drowns out Daughtry's voice sometimes.
My favourite track: I think every track comes close to each other but I'm most familiar with "It's not over" so I still like that the most at the moment. "Feels like tonight" comes close - it's a feel good song. "What I want" is a super chill out-play air-guitar-jump-around-in-your-room kindda song - it is very loud and great for rocking out with the whole electric guitar thing.
Something slightly different: "Breakdown" is slightly lighter - shows off Daughtry's vocals, "There and back again"
Noisiest tracks: "What I want", "Gone"
I have a feeling my brother may like this album - just for the noise it makes.

I liked Equity...
Until we had to learn about Equity in Property.
Now my brain's all screwed up.
I HATE PROPERTY AND TRUSTS!!!

Material things are but material things. They are temporary. They exist in the moment and then the excitement is gone. They are easily replaced. Pity some people can't understand that. Using material things to satisfy yourself is pathetic. But who am I to judge?

Just as I was getting back into the groove of mugging again, I got distracted by Josh on Youtube. Damn this Youtube. It's got me by the pinky.
I love it when he sings in another language :o)
I've been in Josh-reclusive mode for the past week: no looking at him, no watching his videos, no listening to his songs - because I couldn't bear to look at him/listen to him sing because my heart would ache.
I'm back!!

(0) comments how long can I go on plodding this race?
I need to find it within myself to carry on.
Because no one is going to find it for me.
I must be the world's biggest idiot.
How long can I go on plodding & losing this rat race?
When will this rat race ever end?
I'm tired.
So very tired.
Can I drop out? I give up.

Besides Josh Groban, I am currently listening to....
I have to admit though. I sooOOoo do not like the album cover. What kind of lousy picture is that. He is so good looking and they go and take that kind of picture of him. Yeesh. It so does not do justice to his gorgeous face.
The 2 men who are my study-buddies during this stressful exam period: Josh brings out the emotional, sensitive side in me and Dean just allows me to chill out. They compliment each other, that's why I'm listening to both in unison. Need a change of moods from time to time 'ya know.
Anyway, his album is excellent. He wrote/co-wrote 7 out of the 12 tracks on the album.
His first and only single off the album so far is "If you don't mean it". It pales in comparison to some of his other tracks. He didn't write this one. The first time I heard it I was kindda disappointed. I thought that he could do better than that. The tune of the song was kindda flat. However after a few times, it sorta catches on to you and then you find yourself humming it unconsciously and it just gets better and better after that.
Anyways, my favourite track off the album is the last one, "Secret Place". I love the tune. It's so simple, the lyrics are excellent and it's just so easy to listen to anytime, anywhere.
This whole album is very Dean = rock-pop. Every track is all about the guitars and drums. They are mostly mid-tempo tunes.
Yinny's verdict: 4/5 - I like around 9 tracks on the album and I think he's not just a pretty face, he's very talented. I admire talented people *lol*.
I've got the best of both worlds - Josh & Dean. Excellent stuff. I'm happy. :o)
On a different topic, don't you think Fabregas looks so damn cute and cheeky when he was a kid??? *pinch cheeksssss!!!* He still is damn cheeky now.
He looks like a little robber in that pic with the beanie!!!
Stumbled upon a gorgeous pic of Iker Casillas yesterday.
He's my favourite goal-keeper. Spanish of course.
Torres is still gorgeous and the best-looking soccer player I've ever seen.
Oh Gawd look at Ronaldinho - some things don't change do it?
And Rooney!!! I simply am speechless
Awwww Henry was sooooOoo CUTE!!! He's another one who's damn cheeky. Fabregas and him love to be cheeky together at Arsenal.
How cute was Gerrad?? (note I said "was") He was a gorgeous kid really
This is for you SYL!!! Your beloved mushroom head of a Kaká!!! *lol*
Ok enough sniggering, back to studying. BOOooOOOooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo....

After riding the emotional rollercoaster all of yesterday, it wasn't surprising that I had a long string of dreams all night in completion.
Funnily enough, these dreams were all linked together to form this complete story...it wasn't a bad dream but it was strange. So strange that I can't even tell you how strange *lol*. But the ending was a good one. One that I liked very much *grins blissfully*. One of the strange things was that it was sooo vivid. Like I was actually up and acting the dream myself because I was using all my 6 senses (*lol*) in it. AND even stranger, the endings to my dreams for the past 4 days have all been the same, but with different people! My brain is trying to tell me something *hmm*.
I've always been fascinated by dreams and what they represent. I should go study dreamology.
That would be funny. "Hi everyone, I have a BA in Dreamology. I'm a dreamer by profession."
I have got to stop trying to take control of my life. I need to let go and let God take over.
People always tell you to be yourself. But what if yourself is not good enough? What if yourself is boring?
I changed my mind. I'm now TOTALLY addicted to "Remember when it rained" by Josh Groban. Excellent song. Great for being emo with. Everytime I hear this song I feel really sad. It's as if he's trying to expel all the sadness within him - and he's really hurting.
Remember when it rained
Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained
In the darkness I remain
Tears of hope run down my skin
Tears for you that will not dry
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down

Look! Josh Groban tickets.
I am super pissed off.
This morning I rushed all the way down to Uni at 9am to get tickets for Josh Groban's concert. I had to wait until 9:45am for them, with just 3 people in front of me. By the time I got them, the best seats that were available were in the 19th row. I had no choice.
Thinking back, I could have done it myself online instead of waiting in queue to get the freaking tickets from the shop. My tickets would definitely have been better then.
What makes matters worse is, the concert is so popular (it was sold out within an hour) that they are adding another one 2 weeks later in Melbourne.
And guess what?
The 1st row is still available.
@!&^$(_!*@&$)(!@&$_)!@&*$_)!@*$_!}@*$_!@*$_!)@$*!)(@&$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is SOOOOO not my day.
