Of birds and trees

Been writing more than usual lately. Not on this blog though. Rather it is thanks to the literature selectives that I am taking. They are kind of fun, but it is weird seeing lecturers who one day are teaching you about the recurrent laryngeal nerve and how cutting it can result in a hoarse voice, and the next day they are discussing narratives and blank-verse poems with you. Takes a bit of getting used to I suppose.

Gf busy studying for her big EOS in early January. All the nice movies coming out though haha. Having troubles deciding which university to put as my first choice PMS. Everytime I think that is the university I want to put down, another one that seems better pops into the picture. Annoying. Anyway so far it is Glasgow, then Liverpool then Southampton. Hopefully I can get into one of those.

Wanna play football. Been playing futsal and it just ain't the same. Sigh. But over here there are no free fields like in Brunei. Plus unlikely there are people who would want to play outdoors now that it is raining like mad every evening all the way till midnight. Ahh open field!!

Intricacy I adore you

Just a few updates I guess. Literature selectives have been going on fine. It's always fun and a nice change to do something different and something I have always loved doing. Had a futsal kick-about in the evening with my Sem 5 friends. It's good to be sweating out and doing sports again instead of being couped up at home in front of the laptop and the other radiation producing magic-box watching House re-runs and Sportscenter.

Argh my laptop is too slow. So frustrating to play games on it. Though it has only occured lately. Hope it isn't a worm again. Those things are the devil.

Can't believe I was stoning in the exam hall just now during OSPE. Damn. I feel so useless, feel like I am brain dead. Can barely recall facts, or think quickly like how I used to. Maybe I am getting old.

I don't know who my friends are anymore. I know people have their own choices and all, but come on, don't just ignore people you acknowledge as one of your closest friends a few weeks/months ago. Ah well guess everyone has their own ways and right to choose. Forget it.

Guide to nowhere

Haven't been updating my blog in a long time. Laziness is one thing. Boredom is another. And then of course, there is the tiredness from studying for the ICA on next Friday. Not detached from the world though thank goodness. Gerakan VP 'fell' to his death just a few days ago. And just 2 nights ago an Indonesian maid 'jumped' off the 17th floor of Vista Komanwel C1 to her death. This reminds me of the suicide in Vista B last year when I was in Sem2, and I remembered discussing this in the library e-lab (the old one, with the bottom floor dungeon thing that was so nice to study in) with Ding Yang and the seniors.

On a brighter (?) note, Mr Barack Obama wil soon be known as President Barack Obama of the USA. Well let's just hope that he'll do what he said he'll do, cuz his speeches were sure as hell impressive but all talk and no work is, well, bush-shit. There are so much to report about local politics and such but I'll keep my mouth shut. I can do with no jail time in my record.

Planning on watching Quantum of Solace tomorrow. I need a break from all the tumours and suppressor genes. And physiology arghh. Utterly disgusting section. Hope it's a good movie though I don't fancy this new Bond. Too human I guess. Too cold, humourless and thuggish. But it's Bond nonetheless, hopefully the action scenes are good.
