today, i woke up to alphabet soup.

okay granted, i expected much worse. something along the lines of retaking mods and all that. so actually, seeing the alphabet soup was much more relieving.

but.

it still was far from a good day. while i expected the delivery of the abovementioned item to be the worst part of the day as well as the only bad thing that could happen today, i can only say that such thinking was utter naivety on my part.

never underestimate Chance.

things happened. and while i appreciate the silence now, i can't say i like the reason behind it. and there's also the minor matter of other things on my mind as well as the soon to be due explanation of how i got alphabet soup instead of the pickled lettuce(hint: look at what's on the left side of the bottle).

last week wasn't exactly the best week of my hols. to put it mildly.

i made a new personal record: fever for 4 days. wednesday to saturday.

i ended up going to the doctor twice: once on thurs, another on sat.

i pretty much slept the whole week away cuz of the flu. and the funny thing is, the two doctors that i went to had different diagnoses: the first said it was viral, the second gave me anti-biotics(i.e. bacterial). talk about differing opinions.

hope i won't get a relapse can get well soon. damn bored being cooped up at home.

went out with alvina, yanting, beatrice on tues. kbox-ed, walked around, and chatted for quite a while. felt really good to catch up with them haha. hopefully we can meet up again soon:)

met up with huifang, wanqin, hueykia on wed at hueykia's house. and me being blur as usual, got lost on the way to her house and they had to come out all the way to get me>.< anw we went back to her house after that and chatted for quite a while. didn't get to meet up with shermaine cuz i had to leave before she came :( really wished i could have stayed longer. sigh.

2-3+ mths of hols left.

lyrics post! all chinese this time haha.

two songs that didn't have me sitting up the first time i listened to them.
the first song only caught my attention when i caught a few lines of its lyrics when it was playing. that had me going online to search for its lyrics. and after listening to it a few times, i was hooked.

the only thing memorable to me about the second song was the chorus at first. then due to certain circumstances, i happened to watch one of the last few episodes of the taiwan idol drama in which it was the theme song(for the curious people, it's roseate love.) i never did intend to watch it cuz the snippets shown before the show was aired as well as scenes that i saw from the first few episodes had me feeling that the female lead wasn't a v good actress. which btw is forgiveable since she is a singer. and a pretty good one too.

anyway, i digressed.

the episode i happened to catch had me seeing that her acting had improved. and since it was nearing the end, things had become interesting. by a stroke of luck, the story behind the song was also in that few episodes. and that story as well as a closer looks at the lyrics was pretty much what got me to like the song.

okay enough of my ranting. on to the lyrics!

刺猬 - 温岚

最后一抹的微笑在转身之后
我闭上眼哭了
仅存的一点点骄傲
华丽的外表终於丢掉
很彷徨很孤单是寂寞或悲惨
一个人该怎么办

像是刺猬般防范伪装得勇敢
不轻易让你看穿
我以为可以很坦然
面对分开时不觉得伤感
然而将灯关上一片无声黑暗
心痛得大声呼喊


我想我没那么坚强
每个女孩其实一样
渴望着爱情的好 渴望被拥抱
却都害怕爱让人受伤


承认我没那么坚强
不过是一而再的逞强
小心将情绪收藏 比傻瓜还傻
刺猬的坚强全都是假象..哭吧
刺猬的坚强全都是假象

爱一直存在 - 梁文音

那天我扬起帆
想看看未知的海
心里很多话想说说不出来
虽然我脸上看不出来

天空一样蔚蓝
却换了多少云彩
那时的你让我幸福百分百
是否为我等待

我知道我的爱一直都会存在
没有你泪停不下来
你知道我依赖多不想say goodbye
我痛说不出来
我知道我的爱一直都会存在
没有你快乐都停摆
某一天我期待和你笑的灿烂
回头看爱都在

站在你的门外
我却幸福在徘徊
心里很多话想说说不出来
但我想你一定都明白

时间过的好快
想念却不曾更改
现在的你是否幸福百分百
我应该怎么猜

我知道我的爱一直都会存在
没有你泪停不下来
你知道我依赖多不想say goodbye
我痛说不出来
我知道我的爱一直都会存在
没有你快乐都停摆
某一天我期待和你笑的灿烂
回头看爱都在

爱一直存在

3 days after the end of exams.

brief recap of exams:
CS1101C - much more manageable than sit in labs. but unsure of some parts especially when it comes to structures. and not to mention the pointers qn that i stared at for 15 mins before realising what the qn was asking. upon which time ran out. 5 marks, down the drain.

PC1432 - similar to PC1431 exam last year. typical of this two modules: funny qns never seen before in tuts or past year papers. completely no idea how to start solving or applying formulas and eqns. you know you're in trouble when people that are usually good at physics(NOT referring to me) complain it's difficult.

LSM1301 - it's funny that the only module i'm confident of doing well in is the very module whose subject i chose to drop 3 years ago. open book and mcq with ample time to do the questions and look thru notes and textbk for answers. i even had time to check.

GEK2506 - a module that i planned to s/u even before going for the exam. not enough time to study, especially given that the module is so content heavy. spent a grand total of ONE day studying for this module which is obviously highly not recommended. went in with a cheat sheet that my sis helped me with. had at least 20+ qns that i couldnt do. not exactly the best thing to happen.

MA1506 - i. do. not. even. want. to. talk. about. this.

EG1108 - surprisingly not as bad as i thought. but i didn't have time to finish up the one question i was confident of getting correct. FYI each question is 20 marks.

and so it's time to PLAY. haha.
