Transformers, Robots In Disguise

Just caught Transfomers just now. 3.40 showing at the Southbank Cinemas.
Excellent movie. Can't exactly say what set it apart from all other movies but IMHO it's better than Pirates or Spiderman. :-)
My new favourite movie!

In other news, I tried the Nasi Lemak at Satay Hut today. And it was okay. Not bad. But not good either. The beef that accompanied it had a strange texture to it. Very grainy. Don't quite know what it was. Too bad I didn't take a picture of it. I've only just thought that a picture would be a good accompaniment but seeing as it's all gone down the gullet...

That's it for now I guess...

Damn It All...

The weekend's been absolutely terrible.

Recap:

Had eight transaborts on Friday. Add one more today... brings it up to nine. Hehe. Almost beat Aileen's record. Then there was the whole mess with the SPOs and stuff.

On top of that.... guess what I had for lunch on Saturday.
Pot Flambe!!
Really. The pot caught fire just as I started heating it up. And it was like... two pots burning away on the stove. Luckily, I wield a mean fire extinguisher. And to think I was leaning over the pot just a half minute before it spontaneously combusted. Ugghh.

Above: Scene of the carnage.

Plus, I do believe I've overspent this month. Definitely. Won't go into details here but suffice to say that I have to reign myself in.

On the positive side of the ledger, I got some more new stuff. Bought a few books, some DVDs, and.... 3 more t-shirts and a bag. (Just to make Justin jealous. Hehe. Evil, aren't I?)

And that's all for now. At least I think that's all. Brain's a bit fuzzy now. Definitely not enough sleep over the past few days.

Au revoir!

And Life Goes On...

Exam's may be over... but life still goes on.
Back to work. Done with my long weekend away. Even better, no 20 hour weekly limit so I get more time at work which = more moolah for me. :-)

Weather here's getting colder and colder. As I sit here, I don't think I can feel my toes.... hehe. Seriously, I'm shivering. Thank God for sweaters and pullovers. At least I'm not shivering at work.

Sales are on now. End of June sales. Lots of shops have 50% discount. Just bought a t-shirt and a pants...
Might buy more... now that I've got more spare cash coming in. Hehe.

Anyway, that's it for now I guess.

Until next time.

Well... It's Over

and I'm glad for it. It's been a stressful weekend but I'm none too proud with myself over today.

Note to self: Never ever again stay up until 2 a.m. revising. It just takes too much out of you.

I was yawning and fuzzy throughout both my exams. God knows how I did. I know I screwed up at least two questions in Micro and in Animal as well. Ah well... bygones.

Better get to bed then.

G'night

Two Down

Two down and the worst is over...

Not quite. The worst may be over but the next ones're quantity over quality. Two exams in one single day and just a day to study for them. I suppose I'll really have to hunker down to it tomorrow and get it all settled with. Future's looking brighter though with the end of exams on the horizon. I just have to make it past Monday.

Genetics and Biochem were okay. Not as bad as I feared but not smooth sailing either. Good part is that at least I finished answering as much as I could. Time constraints'll really kill you. We had about 2 hours to answer 8-10 questions for each exam. Supposedly short-answer but their short-answer = full length STPM essay question. Ah well. Have to keep up with the times I guess.

Anyhow. Gotta go to bed. Tomorrow's gonna be packed.

Signing Off.

Arrggghhh!!!!

Haih. Tomorrow's my Biochem final.

Guess what. I haven't studied yet.

Guess it's an all-nighter for me this time.

Guess I should have studied earlier huh?

Anyway.

Wish me luck. Or at least some divine intervention.

Catching Up

So...

Yesterday, went out the whole day for a Movie Marathon!
Caught up on some of the shows I'd missed.
Pirates, Spiderman and ... Reno?

Reno sucked. Terrible terrible show. Slightly funny in a few points but otherwise horrible. Ah well.... it was just a filler between Pirates and Spidey anyhow.

Pirates was great! I watched it on the 25m screen (Brisbane's biggest). Awesome special effects and very fun to watch. Really enjoyed it... especially the part where Barbosa and Jack clash. I find Barbosa to be more interesting than Jack tho... probably cos he's more pirate-y.

Spiderman was not bad... comes in a close second out of the three... Although I'm wondering... if Spidey had a friend dying on the floor below... why didn't he remember it and go down immediately instead of chit chatting with the bad guy? Interesting all the same... even though it was a bit long ( I know Pirates was longer but it didn't feel that way...)

At the end of the day... a bit stiff from all that sitting around. Still, I had fun... Shrek's coming out tho... luckily it's still study break... so can probably catch it this weekend.

Seeya.

The End Of The Beginning

Thus ends my first week back at work.

Turns out there's a ton of things I forgot or a ton of new things that I had to learn/relearn. Makes me feel like such an ass cos I should have known all this stuff. And I guess my feet forgot how to stand that long. And it was only 5-6 hours/time... not like the 9 hour shifts I used to pull...
Ah well... all part of acclimatisation.
Yesterday particularly was really hectic. When at reg.... didn't stop for a single second. It was like... "Next", "Thank You" then "Next"... And even off reg... kept running up and down.

On a brighter note, it was also the last week of classes. Now we have swotvac (study break). I wonder how much studying I can do tho .

Anyway.... day off today... gonna go have a Movie Marathon!!!
Catch up on all that I've missed.

Seeya.
