Back to the library days

*Heaves a huge sigh* I feel like I'm studying for an exam or something. I haven't been in the library for this long since - well, since, before the summer. Stupid law essay! I didn't even go to the library during my resit period! Although, to be fair, I didn't actually have to do that exam. I think I went temporarily psychotic and decided it'll be fun to voluntarily take a resit. Yeah, it was definitely the influence of Singapore's tropical heat.

Ok, an update about my weekend. Nothing went as planned but nevertheless, it was a fairly good weekend to say the least. Dinner with Nish and Pri was highly amusing, especially the look on Pri's face when Jay and I walked into the restaurant together. Fine fine! Ruin my fun... So I wasn't wearing my contacts and I couldn't see that far but still, Jay sort of gave me a very bad description with an even worse imitation. ;P Honestly Jay, it was awful! Of course, Pri herself later told me that she thought we were back together. Silly girl. I love her really but she's not very realistic at the best of times.

Went to see the Incredibles on Saturday with the boyz and Remy. That was really cool. The baby of the family was the highlight of my evening. I was invited to a house party later and was very surprised to see Babis there. I seldom see people I know from last year as they all live so far away. It is kind of sad really but *shrugs* we all move on...

Addicted to the sweet

Mo and Foz complain that I have a sugar addiction. In fact, come to think about it, I vaguely remember Jay giving me grief about it as well. Man, can't a girl enjoy her candy in peace anymore these days? Sigh. It's not even like they're normal candy; they're WINDERS! They've even got fruit content in them which means it's quite possibly good for my health. Huge thanks out there to Haylz who bought me my first one. You know what it's all about honey!

Bat just told me that she isn't able to make it from Winchester this weekend cause she's in the hospital getting her leg x-rayed. I'm still not quite sure what she did to herself but it definitely involved the gym. Maybe a gorgeous guy walked past while she was lifting weights. *grins* I was really psyched about her coming over since I haven't seen her since April but never mind, there's always a next time.

My weekend is starting to look very busy. Lots of work to get done. My law essay is due on Monday (Dec 6th) and I haven't started so it's about time to get moving with that. There's also a stack of tutorials to work on as well as the never ending ton of reading to plow through so, yeah, I'm busy this weekend. First, a treat to motivate me: dinner with Nish and Pri tonight. It's starting to be a tradition between the three of us, like mom's mahjong sessions on a saturday night in the far away past... Nevertheless, I have a surprise for them tonight. This should be highly amusing. I can't wait!

Rippled surfaces

Yesterday was a strange day for me. I woke up for my 9am lecture but after that, I took a nap and somehow managed to miss 2 lectures and a tutorial after I'd set 2 alarms. Still can't figure out how I managed to sleep through my alarms. Thing is, I was highly amused when I found that my flatmate had done the same. Oh well, the world goes round huh?

Today, my reading remains untouched. I have no motivation to do any work despite the fact that I know I need to snap out of it. Not quite sure why I do it: knowing that the work needs to be finished yet not doing anything about it.

The ex's name keeps coming up in conversations aimed at me. I'm not sure what they are trying to prove. Maybe they think it's fun to poke at a fresh wound. Sure, I made the move to leave him but it doesn't mean that it didn't upset me as well. Perhaps it's not deliberate, I don't know. What I do know is that it's not worth the temptation to start a fight. It's not like I spend any more time than necessary at the flat anyway. If I minimize my time there anymore, I might as well not live there. To be fair, I can't pinpoint exactly what's bothering me about the whole situation. Something's gone awry somewhere and I have the feeling it needs to be fixed. The only question is: where do I start?

Sanctuary

Ok. I made a promise. This time, I really am going to try and keep this blog updated. Honest!!! *makes a face*

The last couple of months have been stressful to say the least. There's been a whole chain of events happening so fast that a new issue unfolds before the last one is sorted. Our Thursday tax lectures are now known as my crisis management sessions thanks to Gazza. :p

On the brighter side of life, I'm slowly but surely sorting out my life. Missing a whole week of lectures didn't help but at least I'm trying - not very hard but the thought is there. And there's no distraction like the Xmas holidays. I can't wait to go back to Asia to see my family. It'll be a very busy holiday with the wedding and the vacation in DongGuan (China) but it'll be well worth it. A huge thanks out there to the people who organized the China trip.

Been trying to do some reading for the past couple of hours. It's not happening. Anyone out there thinking of doing accounting as a degree major, I have one piece of advice for you: DON'T! It's terribly boring. Most people out there think it's just the numbers but there's so much reading to do. I swear that our chapters have grown at least three times in size.

Today's been another lazy day. Spent it at Nawaz and Mo's. It's starting to be a trend now I think, the whole boycotting my flat thing... Started at the beginning of the year with another house but now circumstances have changed so that I can't go back there again without there being an awkwardness. Nevertheless, I found a new sanctuary until... Well... Today's issue. I hope it'll blow over though cause I really don't want to cause any trouble between the housemates there. I love chilling there. Nawaz and Mo are brilliant people to spend time with. No issues, no worries... It's all easy. If I could chill at Foz's as well, that would make everything perfect but it's not possible. Oh well, shit happens...
