Blame it on the exams

So. I am done with two papers. Two more to go. I CAN DO IT! Whee.

Seriously, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE EXAMS TO END! (Yes, I apologize for the abundance of caps. What can I do to show you how much I FEEL.)

I think exam period is tv period for me. I turn to tv when I feel stressed. How ironic. I watch much less tv normally. Darn cable. You know if I had loads of money to spare, I'll get all the channels and watch tv till I turn into a glob of jelly.

Let's see: I'm absolutely addicted to Discovery Travel and Living. I'm a faithful fan of Nigella Bites. Nigella Lawson- now I know what all the hype is about. You can't just read her cookbooks, you HAVE to watch her. The way she talks about food...sigh...you don't even have to taste them to have a culinary orgasm. Haha. Ooh what else? Hongkong tv serials! Yes, I unabashedly love hk drama shows. It's funny, full of tension and have a great plot. HOOKED. I'm even re-watching the Sun Wukong (Monkey King) series. I remember how much I loved the show when I was in secondary two. It's so touching! Sigh. I think it's the best thing to come out of chinese tv. Of course, I admit I've started listening to more chinese songs after watching Mtv Chinese. I love the way taiwanese mtvs and ads are shot. It's all very subtle- the colours, the choice of clothes, the vignettes. It's like watching one short story after another- except with music. They're like washed-out polaroids come alive. Haha.

Sheesh. I'm going too far with this tv watching thing. NOTE TO SELF: cut down on tv watching. It shall be one of my new year's resolutions. Yesiree.

Tomorrow's BooksActually's one year anniversary. I wish I could go. There's free tea and waffles. And I didn't know one of the co-owners is a year one nus lit student! Awesome. It makes me think that I can actually achieve something soon. Ok currently I'm thinking of majoring in lit. And I think many people will think that it's such a useless, frivolous thing to major in. But who cares! Right? It's my life and it makes me happy. I don't want to lead my life doing what I should do or think I should do. Anyway I've always followed my passion, hopefully it will lead me somewhere someday. Even though I don't exactly know how my life will turn out, I have a feeling that with God's blessings, it will be something good.

Speaking of frivolous, I've been super frivolous of late. Exams are doing weird things to me! I've bought 12 bucks worth of magazines, spent hours surfing youtube for goodness sake. I've always thought that youtube addicts are seriously hopeless and need a life. Look how I've turned out. But anyway, that's besides the point. youtube's good for catching up on Gilmore, but there's seriously a lack of whimsical good stuff on it. Just alot of homemade crap- some of them rise beyond crap by being hilarious and the rest, well, you have The Rest. Shall link some good stuff someday.

Yay. I hope you like to hear me ramble on. That's what exams does to you. Make you ramble like a crazy girl. I've already done my christmas wishlist! Boy am I fast fast fast. I REALLY LOVE CHRISTMAS! I even love christmas jingles they play in shopping centres. It's so jolly, gets you into the mood for christmas shoppin and eatin. Subliminal messages...tsktsk. Then there are Starbucks seasonal coffee. Once a year! Sighs. Cinnamon and vanilla and baking. Cold (ie. rainy) weather that calls for jackets and sweaters and HOT DRINKS. Time to loop Nat King Cole's 'The christmas Song' over and over again. And the lights that dress up trees on the streets:) Awfully pretty. I don't particularly like christmas day itself. Pre-christmas is really what does it for me. It's like a present waiting to be unwrapped. And you can just FEEL that something good is about to happen.

Sorry for being all sentimental and disgusting. I think it's what exams do to me.

I think I'll move to livejournal after the exams. So I can post pics of my impending (WHOOPEE) Bangkok trip, and other nice stuff. Down here its just words words words. Like who bothers to read them anyway? If you just did, hmm. I'm suddenly shy about all that rambling.

That means bye for now. Hang in there, kiddos!
