I feel like I got owned by today's Japanese 7B final. I'm now in Evans Lab, accompanied by Feng feng, and feeling crappy like hell. We had seating arrangements this time, and both of us had a different question. And the essay question was...

"Write about the male-female love relationships in Masks."

How suay can I get. I wished I had gotten the book on Lizard, but I just had to get Masks! Omg. Lizard's stories were all on love, the main basis was on love, but Masks wasn't. Masks is more on manipulation and revenge and jealousy and all that crap. Ahhhhhhhh! And what sort of question is this?! Anyway I crapped on how the "love" relationships weren't really love, but more based on sexual gratification. I noted that Ibuki did had an attraction and posessiveness over Yasuko, but he wasn't that "in love" with Yasuko as he had no ideas on divorcing his wife and marrying Yasuko instead. What a bastard.

I think my Jap Professor enjoys love stories, because we always seem to discuss about love and all that stuff. AHHHHHHH. BUT WHY MASKS?! WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I gave my best shot in this essay. Major sigh. Didn't expected such a question to come out though. I'm sure we're supposed to write about love luuuuurve <3! Gah.

Done bitching. Feel better now. Ah.

I finally shifted to blogger.com! Reason being that Yahoo is going to shut Geocities down after summer 2009, so I figured I should just shift now for convenience sake. Found this really cute blog layout on blogskin.com and decided to use it :) Please change the link accordingly if you did link me.

Thanks!

On a side note, I had lots of fun today with Feng feng after UGBA lecture today. Quite disappointed with the new module on Strategic Planning though. I was looking forward to class today because I thought it was an extremely interesting topic to study. However the new professor's lecture made it super boring... sigh. Now I'm missing Prof. Robinson. I wish we had more of Prof. Banks class though! However, the paper topic for this module seems fun to write. I think I'll enjoy brainstorming for the paper :)

After eating at Ann's kitchen (we initially wanted to try out Cafe Durant but were chased away by the crowd of flies at the bottom floor XD), we headed down to Shattuck to Long's Pharmacy. Surprisingly, there was no Queen Helene's Mint Julepe Masque! I bought this cute pink scrub which smells heavenly - gonna try it out later ;p (Bought it on impulse =X) Feng feng bought this luxurious eye mask and her medicine and finally got her Queen Helene Masque at Walgreen's down the street! 

Alright, gonna try out my new scrub. Ciao~

It feels like I'm in the Sahara Desert. Today and now (which is midnight) has been so freaking hot. Even with my roomie's fan twirling in the distance, I'm perspiring like a dog. Before our midterm this morning (which was SO SO SO HOT), Prof. Robinson said that in Berkeley, there are 2 hot days in Spring and 1 hot day in October. But during the Summer, it'd be freezing. Contradictory much?

The heat is getting to me. Even while doing my Jap 7B Step 2 Paper Process on Noh Masks and Anime & Manga, I can't help but feel even more irritated than usual. What the heck. I WANT SOME AIR CON!!!! OR BRING BACK THE COOL BREEZE PLEASE!

I most certainly had a pleasant surprise when I got back my math 53 midterm back today :) If only the math finals would be of this standard... <3>I love differentiation...

...and hate integration!

I think I'm going to shift to a new private blog... so if you don't see me blogging here, it doesn't mean I died. :)

I want some privacy... I feel that I haven't been myself since I left home -.- Sigh. I want to go back Singapore and feel me again.

I can't help but cry and I don't know how to stop crying.

It's early mornin' here and I'm back from showering. Feng feng and aster are still bathing so I'm all alone in the room. Sha sha has disappeared.. prob to a study lounge? Hopefully she's alright. Haha I <3>I talked about alot of heart stuff today with a good friend, and it's really heartwarming to finally see that I am able to put down the past and move forward. Sure, mistakes have been made, wounds have been inflicted, but eventually moving on is the key to recovering. 

Feng feng and I were discussing what type of guy we'll eventually be married to and the entire convo was hilarious! It turned into a what type of guy we're looking for and I couldn't help but remind the both of us that our quiz results had stated that we would be married at the age of 45. XD We tried Cheeseboard pizza for dinner and the queue was insane. In the end, we were almost late for Danceworx concert partly because my foot suddenly had blisters (and I was wearing BOOTS, why would there be blisters???) and we were walking kinda slowly. Nevertheless, I had a really fun day (& night)! Haven't had such days like this for a long time. Woo. Still, this is merely a temporarily release from the stressful competitive world we are trapped in and tomorrow is another dreadful day of mugging like hell.

Econ 101A midterm was tougher than the previous one. Major sigh. I felt so cheated when one of the questions that the Prof Dellavigna set was on the Hicksian demand, which was in Midterm #1 syllabus. I only studied the new stuff =\ Oh well, learnt my lesson... hopefully the curve wouldn't be so bad XD

Feng feng and I were spamming Facebook quizzes during Jap 7B lecture today. Lol. Prof Wallace now makes his quiz uncheatable, which is sad. The worst thing is that the quiz only had one question today, but we were expected to write down a long answer. Bleh. My question was : Describe the basics of the story from the woman's perspective. GGXXed. I only read 7/8 of Woman of the Dunes, so I didn't know the ending at all. I merely wrote like how the woman was used by the man to have sex with, and at the end he had public sex with her just to fulfill his wish. I think this book will never be used as a "textbook" for Singapore's education, given how "scandalous" and sexual this book this. Heck, I think most of the Jap 7B books assigned have such wild ideas that they'll prob be banned. Lol.

So anyway, Feng feng was so suay during lecture. She was laughing at one of my quiz results, and I think Prof. Wallace saw this when we were discussing about the human condition and hence he oh-so-randomly called on her: by her name! LOL. 

I SIGNED MY NEW HOUSE LEASE TODAY!

Yeap, Aster and I met up with the Landlord/Agent today and he was super duper nice! He heard all of our requests, of that which I'm thankful for, and he even drove us back from the Office to campus! W00t. I wrote my first check today, signed my first house lease... ahhhhh I feel like I'm growing up :) Hehe!

Having a terrible headache right now. I slept the entire day... but it didn't make my headache go away. I think I'm falling sick >.<

Lovely strawberries :)
