Before and After

Do you know how it feels when everytime exams come, eveything is off limits to you? I mean, like during my study week, I was not supposed to touch the computer, not to play games or go online. (My own doing). Everytime I sit down to study at the table (computer in front of me), my hands itch to touch the mouse or even the keyboard. Urgh! Computer games during this 'perfect time' (duration before exams) are especially 'enticing' (Forgive me if it's the wrong adjective). My heart longs to be with this LCD screen and its coulourful 'nature'. My eyes ache to be glued to its bright and sparkly 'eyes'. Aahhh! And then, here you go telling yourself, "Study girl, study. It's only for three weeks.The computer will still be there, but your exams are only once!!" Then I drag myself, still unwillingly to go and study. But it always does not last long, no matter where I go, I can hear the oh so sweet melody of the computer games being played by my sisters. It's haunting me!
Then, after three grueling weeks of battling with your inner conscience, exams are finally over. The computers are yours to use for free! But, oh no, what's this? The computers no longer call out to me as they did before. In fact, I find the games all a bore now and wished that I had something else to do!! What's going on? Here I am, free from studies, with the time and 'money' to use the computer and I find it is like a normal chore. The games have suddenly lost their 'magical touch'. And I am sitting here all forlorn and lost figuring what to do...

P/S: While studying my computer subject, I came across this syndrome "Computer Addict". That's not me I hope!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
