almost.. but not yet

twiddle dee dum. :)

exams are almost over.. but not quite yet. i've two more papers to go. both history papers - total war and europe of the dictators. and just when it counts the most.. motivation is increasingly in short supply.

it's that kind of feeling where you know that you need to push on.. you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you can smell the fresh air.. but somehow, you're not quite there yet.

papers
i am happy and quite content with the papers which i've had so far. thankfully, i mostly studied the right parts and managed to have enough to write. and to have ideas flowing and enough time to put everything down onto paper. :)

just two more to go. the most daunting of the whole lot. one level 2000 history mod - but marked by farrell so yipes! even though i totally love him now (just cos he's so nice) and he knows who i am now. :) and the other.. a level 3000 history mod, and i really have no confidence about that one. plus there are year 3s for competition too. :s

i have this inkling fear that the total war paper is going to have questions which are going to take quotations from readings i was supposed to have done (but well, have not done). :s.. and im not exactly sure how to really study for it. but, i quite like the content, i think.. and for most of the chapters, i understand what's going on i think. well, hopefully enough to be able to manage.

of vices and temptations
yipes. my wallet has a huuge hole right in the middle thanks to the wonderful world of online shopping. it's such a wonderfully colourful, beautiful world that offers so many opportunities and promises of satisfaction etc. i've found countless more sites to shop from. and i've got them saved in my bookmarks, under the heading - "drool". LOL

three dresses came.. im gonna use them as skirts instd.. cos the lining stops short and somehow, worn as a dress they aren't very flattering for me. anyway, i dont have any nice casual long skirts.. so all's good.

the bags finally came! :) im totally in love with one of them.. it's my new daily bag. lol

threadless tees are on the way.. i ordered 4 for myself.. and getting one for van for christmas or birthday or smth. :) can't wait.. esp for 'summer' and 'motovino'!! :):) my absolute faves!

apart from online shopping... due to nagging by kelvin and max (i think).. asking me to get a facebook account so they can get their hands on all the photos i've been taking. well.. i went and got a facebook account. about a week or two before exams?.. smth like that.

i am absolutely amazed.. facebook is SO much fun.
and well, more than that.. it has allowed me to re-connect with some people whom i would otherwise never have been able to get in touch with again. :)

and all the functions are so cool and funky. oh and albert, serene and justin lee have voted me as the most likely to poke them all the time! hahaha.. :):) right on! even brother sam and fr val have facebook lahh. shocker!

dependencies
siigh.. i realised that i have inadvertently built up some dependencies.. and well, sometimes it's really not a good thing.

#breakfast dependency.
there was a time when i used to never take breakfast. it was never my thing and i could survive the day until lunch. usually a simple nice cold can of milo would suffice.
but lately.. i've grown the (bad) habit of having a full breakfast every morning, in school. by the snack and kway teow stall.. beehoon and the chicken fillet/piece. even the auntie knows me already lah. :s they say breakfast is a good way to start the day.. but... :(:(

#friendships and msging
no elaboration needed i think.

christmas and carolling is coming!
it's the 1st of december.. the advent wreaths and candles are out at the churches.. and the rest of the family is busying about preparing the house for our yearly event and my most favourite time of year. the carpets are being cleaned, the cushion covers have been washed, dried and put back. i hear the vaccuum cleaner being used in the hall. i smell wonderful smells in the air.. the food is being cooked!! (ngoh hiang!! :D yum!!) all the excitement in the air around me. and i wish i could help out too.

the 9th of december is coming! ohh goodie goodie! :]
i can't wait.

and in another four days, this gal will officially be free.
just four more days to go. :)
