Ha?

What Fantasy Archetype Are you?

 

The Unlikely Hero
You are the Unlikely Hero! Others like you are Frodo (Lord of The Rings), Young Aurthur (arthurian Legend), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Peter/Susan/Edmund/Lucy (Narnia), Richard Mayhew (Neverwhere), Harry Potter (Harry Potter) and Richard Cypher (Wizard's first Rule). You were happy to just live out your life as a peaceful schoolboy/farmer/wood's guide. But alas, greatness was thrust upon you. Don't let the hordes of The Totally Wicked Villain get you down, you have your Seasoned Veteran Friend to protect you and you almost always end up with the Pillar-of-Strength Love interest. Heed you Mentor well and keep your chin up, hero! You are simple, humble and kind but possess great potential for truly inspirational heroism, bravery and strength in dark times.

Life of a Sloth

I feel like a sloth.

I've been on the couch for the last 3 hours since dinner. Ok. Granted that N is also here on the couch but that doesn't mean I'm any less of a sloth. Fwahaha... Watching the finale of Celebrity Big Brother as well, I'm embarressed to admit. Hm. They're just about to announce the winner.
*******************************************************

Haha! Yes! I knew it. Shilpa has won. Although I believe that most of her votes were sympathy votes. Ever since the whole racism row with Jade Goody, there was almost no doubt about her winning. Well. It was always going to be between Jermaine and Shilpa during the last couple of weeks. If it wasn't for the stupid row that Jade and her minions started, Shilpa wouldn't have stood a chance against Jermaine. Oh well. Either one of them winning would've been a good thing. I was just so filled with evil glee when Jade got evicted. Mwahahah.. Stupid b****.

*****************************************************

In other news, school starts tomorrow. (>_<) This term I'm going to have to travel out of Aberdeen for some lab sessions. And those labs don't even belong to the University. They belong to a local college. I don't understand why we have to use those labs? Are they better equipped than the university's? That would just be ridiculous wouldn't it? Argh. And having to report there at 8.45am in the morning! AARGH!!! 1 hour 20min to walk according to D. So probably about 45min to 1 hour on a bus, if I can even find out what buses go there. Sigh. (T_T)

Been shopping since my exams ended!!! I got a new pair of brown suede boots!! Eeee!! So happy! Spoils of war (so far) include:

From TK Maxx (kinda like Factory Outlet. It's got a lot of brand names going for CHEAP!!):
1) Pale pink 3/4-sleeve Bench t-shirt
2) Pink (rose? not sure what shade this is) long-sleeved Tommy Hilfiger shirt
3) Cream-coloured Betty Barclay sling bag
4) Red Jasper Conran sweatshirt
5) Pair of pretty Miss Outrage socks

From SportsWorld:
5) Pale blue/green Heart And Soul tank top
6) Blue-striped loose long-sleeved Ocean Pacific shirt
7) Brown Miss Fiora suede boots
8) Blue and white Diadora shirt

Wahahaha... All this for under ₤60!!! And they're good brands too!

And of course today went and got two more tank tops from Primark (one cream [₤1.50!!] and one khaki-coloured [₤2!!!]). Might go and get the emerald coloured one tomorrow... I'm GOING MAD!!!

Fwahaha....

Post Exam Rant

やっと。試験が終わりました。

Exams are FINALLY over. Well. Ok. They finished yesterday morning, but I've been having minor problems with the internet since yesterday so here's a delayed update.

The Electronics paper was surprisingly easier than I anticipated. There was only one question that I had to give up on. I may actually get above a CAS 15 for this particular course. As for the other two, Maths I should get either 19 or 20. Structures... My confidence was shaken a little when I blanked out on a simple formula. But hopefully won't be below 15 either.

So that's exams for the first term of my second year in Aberdeen. Things are looking good so far I guess. Heh. Went over to G & PL's place after the exam yesterday to do some online shopping from Japan Center. Hohoho! Although I promise I didn't spend over 20 pounds. I did that today shopping for Classical/Opera CDs and cheena DVDs... (>_<)

I can't help it!! I'm addicted to DVDs & CDs!!! And it's after exams! I should be allowed to have some kind of release!!! 发泄发泄!

Why so Sian...

I am SO BORED of studying. (>_<) *pui*

Stupid exams. Can't wait for the last one to be over. *grumble*

On a bright side, salsa and hip hop classes are quite fun. Very different crowd though. Think I prefer the salsa class. Older, more mature, not so clique-ish. The hip hop class... mostly young teenage girls, some of them regulars. So you can imagine.

2007 Random Flat Conversation 1

[D came back to pick up some stuff, and of course, being landlord and all, got made to fix various bits of the flat]

Me: Ah, D -- The fixer of things in this flat. That's why we keep you around the house.
D: Gee, thanks.
N: Yeah, Jim's great. I'm going to call you Jim now.
D: Wha..?!
Me: Why "Jim"?
N: Coz Jim fixes things!
Me: Why not "Bob"?
N: Coz Bob's already in there. *points to R's room* And he doesn't fix anything.
Me: No, no. As in "Bob the Builder".
N: Well, he builds things. He doesn't fix them. Jim fixes everything!
("Jim" is chuckling away at all this. After a bit he moves on to fixing the light in the hallway since "Bob" couldn't do it.)

D: (fiddling with some loose part) What did Bob do to it??
(as the light comes on, "Bob" comes out to go to the bathroom.)
N: Hiya Bob!
R: Hello, er... (pauses in the bathroom doorway)... I'm trying to think of some snappy come-back here. Er...
Me: Jim did what you couldn't do, Bob.
R: Who's Jim?
D: Hi. I'm Jim.
R: Why are you Jim?
Me: N named you.
N: No, I didn't.
Me: You named Jim.
N: Yeah, ok. I named Jim. But you named Bob.
Me: But I was referring to "Bob the Builder"!
R: ... (closes bathroom door. You can practically see the (-_-''') expression)

BTW, Happy New Year.

Ha. Yes. A bit late. Oh well. Better late than never I suppose.

So yeah. Start of a new year, I'm back in Aberdeen. Presumably busy revising for my upcoming exams. Maths has been progressing quite well, Materials & Structures... Not as fast as I would like, and Electronics is... uhm... sitting somewhere in my room.

Airport Post

Ho ho! My first ever Changi Airport Free Internet post!!

Yes. Here I am in Changi Airport, waiting for the boarding gate to open. Flight's been delayed about 30min due to late arrival. Well... Gave me time to buy little keychains. Now I need to find some candy to suck on to stop my ears from hurting.

As always, the Christmas stop back home has been short. Couldn't meet up with everyone. Next time k? At the moment my next return is scheduled for next December. Dunno what's happening in the Summer just now. So see how.

But please, everyone keep in contact. I do miss you guys. Always wish I had more time at home. Well.. Just keep watching this space I guess. Heh (^_^)
