Freedom~
finally! i finished all my exams. today's paper wasnt that good. but i'm numb from it after wed's paper. stupid blogger blanked out on me after i typed the super long entry on wed. argh...really upset over the genetics paper. made so many mistakes. cos i didnt trust my instincts or interpreted the question wrongly. haiz...but anyway, i have all the time in the world now. time to get a job. i wanna go on holiday...qifen's in korea, weixiao in taiwan, jeff in tioman. and so many other friends going bangkok.
anyway, i wanna share an interesting story i heard on radio the other day. its not exactly a story but an experiment by an american scientist. he trapped a fly and a bee in a glass jar and put them in the dark. after some time, he shone a light at the top of the jar while leaving an opening at the bottom. guess which of them will escape and which will die in the jar?
the answer is the fly will escape while the bee dies. although the bee has a higher order of intelligence, most of it is based on logic. it only does things based on what it knows. so its logic is that the escape route must be where the light is. it will fly towards the light and fly around it until it finaly dies without finding the opening. cos in its world, it does not know anything such as glass. determined creature but inflexible. haha...
the fly on the other hand, has a lower order of intelligence. it does not know the logic of flying towards light. instead, it will just fly around ramdomly around the whole jar till it finds the opening. it will be able to escape very quickly.
so we must be flexible. if something fails, find another way till we find the solution. dont be bent on using the same method over and over. be the fly and not the bee. haha...

Basketball Finals At Changkat
accompanied my brother to go watch the basketball match at changkat cc just now. tamp changkat vs tamp central. actually didnt plan to stay for long cos we didnt really get good seats and i should be studying! but the match was quite exciting so i watched for the whole 40 mins. changkat won 41 to 36. there were a few good players. all can jump so high and touch the rim. then see so many steals, fakes, rebounds and layups. some of them pass the ball without looking. and some can shoot 3 pointers very well. really nice. too bad competition cant slam dunk. saw one cute guy too. haha... how i wish i can play like that too. havent touched a ball since jc i think.

Cheeze Prata~
went NUS to study with my dear shiwen yesterday. think i can be quite familiar with nus le. haha...like go there alot of times. the campus is nicer. not so many slopes to climb. shiwen, u cut ur fringe very cute leh. even more like xiao mei mei. haha... the environment was quite nice for studying. we ba zhan a tutorial room to ourselves. but i think we talked a bit too much. after that, we went to the prata shop near fass. i think the cheese prata is very nice~ so much better than the one at canteen a. but quite expensive though, and have to wait very long. tried some of shiwen's ginger milk tea too. it has a...special taste. haha...never tasted anything like that before. craving for cheese prata now...

Start Of Exams!!
Just had my first paper today. Should be the easiest among all my papers--jap. haha...It was alright except for the compo part. Suppose to write 15 sentences about university studies. Like huh, how to write. Think everybody talk more about their jap class. With the exception of kairong. Haha...what he wrote was so funny. Had my listening and oral last week too. The listening compre was disasterous but i think i did well for oral.
Well, the easy part is over. Now for my core modules. Scared...it seems so difficult. So much to study. Cant seem to concentrate on studying this sem. It'll be worse if i didnt go school to study. Had been spending a considerable amount of time with my jap friends. Really fun studying with them. Then always get a lift home from them. Haha...so shiok. But after today, everyone got their own exams. Hope qifen does organise an outing after exams. Will be looking forward to it.
In the meantime, good luck to all those having exams! I must ganbatte!

Last Jap Class
Yesterday we had our last jap lesson. Took alot of photos. We even dragged a guy from the corridor to help us take a class photo. Jasmine and junhui didnt come today though. We signed a card for her but due to our very limited jap vocabulary, we could only write in broken english and japanese. Everyone was using 'omoshiroii' and 'arigatou gozaimasu'. lol. June kit wrote her name very nicely in kanji on the envelope. We really like her alot. She made the class so interesting. And its due to her pair work that we could know each other better. The class people are so fun too. There's always laughter and much chatter in jap class. Everybody liked it more than their core modules. We're lucky cos the other classes dont seem to be so close. I'm going to miss the class sooo much. Its thanks to this class that i've made so many friends. I think that we really you yuan. There are so many of them who were secondary school friends or bmt mates who never got close to each other till this class. 9 of us went for dinner at pizza hut after class. Really had alot of fun. Especially when all of us shouted out 'itadakimasu!' before eating. Lucky not many people there. Hope we'll meet up again after the exams. Going to miss going home with kairong, qifen and weixiao. Some of us are going to take level 2 next sem. But too bad the 3 of them cant join us. The girls are going to graduate! Oh wells, tian xia wu bu san zhi yan xi. At least i had a memorable time. G03 rocks!
Sorry if i bored u with my ranting. Havent been blogging much lately. Exams are coming and there's nothing much interesting. Haha...oh yah, i was surprised when i saw nic in the newspaper. He got second for the glamour quest. But i think he looked better than the winner. lol. Good luck to those who's going to have exams! 1 more month to the end. Gambatte!
