i just have to think of the paper i took today and my headache will be back. it's like a buy one get one free thing, just that you don't really want the free gift, but get it thrust in your face anyway.

well at least today, we learnt something new. okay we meaning feelip and i and perhaps a minority others. was walking out of the exam hall today when i caught sight of a stoned feelip and animated col looking like she was explaining something to him. i walked towards them to listen in. apparently concept brief is not the same as design brief, and i'm not talking about undergarments for guys with different professions. and so we both stared at her like dead ducks as she tried her best to enlighten us. it was as if she was telling us that she, along with others who went "ya, ya", used a fishing rod to fish while the both of us used our bare hands. "well at least you caught some fish," they quipped, trying to console us. i looked at him and figured i must have had the same expression he had, the kind where even if you started saying "shhhhh-" you wouldnt even be able to complete the word before you went charging against the wall. i tried to console him some (i believed i wasted more time on a question that was wrongly answered than he did), though inside i was crying a river for the loss of the last glimmer of hope for my only possible A this sem. the question was 25% of the paper, but on the bright side, it's 7.5% of the entire percentage. that cheered me up a very little bit. guess it's better than nothing.

after, my dad and i went for xiao long bao at crystal jade, cos he saw how i was starving and looking gloomy. it was definitely something different from what i expected to do--mope at home, of course--so i kinda looked forward to it. when we reached, however, his phone rang. it was my uncle from perth, and you know how you can't ignore overseas calls or make it short cos your brother's on the other line and he's like your best pal so you keep on talking. and talking. so i was left to myself, without my handphone (which i left in the car by accident), and empty cutlery as we waited for the food to come. an eternity later my dad was back and all else was fine and dandy.

we were going to go off when i spotted my 'cheapo shop' (so named by debbie's mum, if i remember correctly) and remembered i broke my hairband a few days back and need a replacement. so i went in while my dad went to get the car. not sure if my brain got fried at the exam hall but i stood there staring at the many different colours not knowing which to pick. then i narrowed down to 2, and spent a good minute or two going black, white, black, white.....and in the end i bought both. should've done that earlier right. waste time. only $1.90 each. my sister would've killed me. (my sister who has just bought a $149 pair of heels from zara and thinks that anything below $5 is as good as free. she cracks me up sometimes. pity her future husband though. )

and...i found out my neighbour living diagonally below me has 3 fat rabbits! the real ones. (who knows what you're imagining) one white one and 2 brown ones. they're so huge you don't really go awwwww but wowwwwweee. haha. so now i've got something to entertain myself with when i'm bored at home. (staring at rabbits....is cheap entertainment. i know you disagree but anything's better than staring at huge chunks of words that are dull to the core and i'm talking about my organisation comm text which i haven't touched.)

i just found out my exams end on wed next week, instead of tues. dang it. it's too far awayyy... but there's nothing i can do but wait for my next paper which is about 7 days away. 7 days. 7 very long days. oh. my. headaaache. (i'm hoping this headache thing is not due to my wisdom teeth, which are awaiting extraction, which i'm really dreading...though i think it'd be better to get it over and done with, all that agony of pain and looking like an oversized chipmunk for a week. sigh.)

stardust! WE WILL WATCH YOU SOON. :)
