my first paper was on friday afternoon and i went in thinking i was fully prepared for the questions. i remember the official steps taken and logic behind stuff. but oh no... they choose to come up with all these funny scenarios and have so many similar answers that i couldnt really tell the difference!!! there were quite a number of questions that had me stuck for a long time. i used up every single minute of the whole 2 hours doing all 50 questions. that, isnt good.. right?

i felt so demoralised and depressed that even the prospect of eating my marutama eggs werent that enticing.. but it did help lift the mood a tad bit.

):

i went to bed on saturday morning at 12.30am, thinking that i should set my alarm for 7am to start studying for my 2nd paper. i took 2 hours to fall asleep and when i did, the next thing i knew, i woke up! like i never really did sleep! i woke up at nearly 6am! the sky was dark, the weird bird was making its annoying sounds and i was wide awake! 1.5 hours BEFORE my scheduled time!

i just needed to get it off my chest and i posted on facebook. haha! thank goodness i have my bbff to comfort me and yuanzhi for making me feel less depressed about being the only one i know awake at such a ungodly hour..

i havent taken an exam since i left poly. which makes it... nearly 4 years? or is it 3? whichever it is...

):

anyways! i spent the entire saturday mopping around the house, walking in and out of the kitchen eating chocolates and seaweed.. haha! not something i should be proud of since i SHOULD be studying.. went for a facial thing with mum, aunt and cousin, after which, decided to go to my cousin's new condo!!!

definitely didnt regret the decision to make the trip down. saw the really beautiful house with all the bay windows (a selling point in my opinion), with the balcony facing the pool and the fountain at the entrance.. dont even get me started on the pool!!! wait. no. poolS!!! HAHA!!! water aerobics and water pressure massages, steam bath, oh-so classy bbq pits.. ohman! and the doors of the apartments look like they belong to hotels!!!

):

someone marry me and get me a unit there please!!! HAHA!!!

we went to another apartment facing the bedok reservoir and both of us were standing there admiring the view then i just had to add something funny/disturbing. haha!! think all the news in recent months about bedok reservoir and you'll probably be right. haha!!! either way, the view was super pretty and i think they will probably never need to install air conditioning in their apartment. it was so cooling!!!

(:

we walked around the compound, sat by(at) the poolside and talked about stuff and then headed for drinks at tampines.

chatted even more about family and the related.. i honestly love cousin-talk.. we need more of such things..

decided to plan a Christmas dinner for the family too! super exciting!!! and my december is now practically full. haha!!!
