Dear Diary,
just came back from watching The Incredibles. Well, all I can say is that Pixar has blown me away again. I was laughing so haard that I actually perspired in the freezing cold theatre. Haha. The animation is stupefying, sometimes, too real for an animation, I think, haha. Anyway, an outing to the theatres to watch this show is a sure way to unwind. Good storyplot, hiarious lines, All that I can say would be ...incredible...
Anyway, had my second last paper today and will have to wait till next tuesday for my last paper. I hate this kind of a waiting game. It just seems to me that the professors are playing a twisted game with us, stretching our patience to the very limit to see if we could survive. All the exams and test are obstacles to rob us of our confidence and most importantly, that all important degree! And, guess what, they have succeeded. Wel,, I guess this shall prove to be a very good summary of my exam battle report.

Dear Diary,
I seriously think that I am screwed up for my exams. Haven't been studying for like 3 whole days already and exams is like...a week away? Oh my, oh my. Someone, please, anyone, instill in me the desire to acquire knowledge! ArHHHH!
Anyway, it was Deepavali yesterday. A really good day whereby good Bollywood shows are shown on TV. Watched this show called Lapaan which stars one of the most famous Bollywood actors, Amir Khan and oh my, it was a 3and a half hour show. Totally screwed up my desire to study which I always plan(only) beforehand. Anyway, it is a showw about those poor Indian who rise up to challenge the British to a game of cricket so as to remove the unfair Lapaan (tax) system which the British had been extorting from them. The match was rather exciting I must say and I love their dance moves! WooHoo! If I can show of them in those discos, I would be famous! Haha. But.. no money, cannot go this kind of wind flower wine place. Anyway.. it was a good show, and I think I am falling in love with Indian movies. To heck with Charlie's Angels this Sunday.
Ikimalan oh Ikimalan Eh EHHHHHH... haha

Dear Diary,
Today is certainly one of my happier days. Got an A for my essay! Wahaha. This is like the best morale booster one can ever get especially when exams is like a week away. Haha. Damn happy for it is a geopolitics essay some more. Wrote something that had never been taught in class - the China- Taiwan issue! Haha. Looks like all my research had paid off! So heartened to see my work been appreciated by the professors. Afterall, I think A levels geography and economics had taken off me whatever confidence I had in writing academic essays. Whatever.. Shall psycho myself into believing that I got a C instead to ensure that I do not get too smug in the end. 19 more days to one month of academic freedom! Can't wait man...
Rreally cannot wait for the holidays man... there are like so many things I want to do and have to do. First up is first aid course which I am pretty confident of clearing. An 8 lessons course with the last lesson being the test. Hope I can pass out being a truly qualified first aider. Next up, the event I had been waiting for all year-the Standard Chartered Marathon! Really hope I can clear the full course under 4h 30min. The average timing the Brit who got a heart transplant ran in all his marathons around the world. Next, yummy... the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King extended DVD edition. wah... can drool at the thought man. 5h of middle earth, 5h of Gandalf, Aragorn and the besieged Gondor, and of course, gaying between Sam and Frodo. Haha. Then there comes the conclusion. My lifeguard course. Hope to clear it and am praying that I can coz I am not a good swimmer, in fact, a weak swimmer would be a more apt description of myself. My freestyle is like shit. Can't swim more than 10 laps with that freaking style. Whatever. Hope to clear it and can then become a part time lifeguard!

Dear Diary,
another week had passed, just like that. I realise that time really flies when you do not really take notice of it. When I was young, I find that one year passed very slowly while a day goes by very fast. However now, my perspective takes a 360 degrees u-turn. Everyday is a painful walk through, but whoa la! A semester is coming to an end already. Sigh... think I am becoming older, though not old enough in my reckoning. I want to earn money! Academia is certainly not my cup of tea. Studies is just what I do to ensure that my starting pay is more than the others... Shucks... What kind of a person is this society moulding me into?

When I was young, I wanted to be a badminton player, when I grew bigger, I wanted to be a basketball player, when I got even bigger, I wanted to be a musician, and when I got even even bigger, I became a canoeist, and now, I am just another mugging student... sighzz.

Dear Diary,
I've sudddenly realised that had I been more serioous about my work, I would not have been so free, talking to you now and then yet still have the time to slack around aimlessly. Just screw up 2 projects worth 25% of my final grade. Really @£$%^ liao. Siao liao think I might have to be retained and pay liquidated damages to SAF liao. Siao liao!
Anyway, I think I had finally started to really mug, and I mean start. Progress had been slow, but it is certainly better than nothing. Guess I had only been ghosting around the LT all the time, well I guess if you had been to uni lectures before, you would certainly understand how boring those demented PhD holders can get actually get. They just keep on droning on and on, drowning you into an abyss of knowledge which you have no idea what it is. You keep screaming and yelling yet no one heeds your calls. You choke, you suffocate, no amount of CPR can save you now. But you never stop struggling. Giving up was never an option anyway. Slowly and slowly, twilight is near, you heaved a sigh of relief as the One, whoever he is, embraces you. Welcome to the bachelors club.
You take your Bachelor of Engineering degree, leave the stage, welcome to the real world.
