Post Exams Trauma?

I just had one of the weirdest dreams ever. It was related to what I studied fore exams.

I dreamt that there was a curse and prophecy going on (from Oedipus Rex), and someone (not going to mention who) escaped to prevent the prophecy from coming true, but failed ultimately. The murderers are from this cult group called Polixines (from Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale), and my role in the whole dream was to call the police, whom refused to believe me.

Weird..

Bringing back the childhood laughter



Animaniacs is possibly one of my most favourite cartoon as a child. With all the childhood innocence, Animaniacs (with Pinky and the Brain) was well, just a cartoon that all kids watch. Watching some episodes again just brought back so much memories, but it is only now which I realised so many parodies and slapstick humour, which I couldn't have understood as a child.

Exams are over! I can breeeeatthhhheeeee!

URGHH

I'm a POE: Prisoner of Examinations


Gonna enter into another torture chamber tomorrow. I'm gonna be seriously whipped by chains of Shakespeare.

And then I'll face the cell again on Thursday.


Gonna enter into two torture chambers on Friday!

First chamber: Boiling water of the approaches to drama
Second (and last) chamber: Electric chair of Sensibility and Romanticism (how ironic)



I'm sure my hair is gonna be like Freakazoid after the shock.



But no worries. These examinations only torture but don't kill... which is worse, isn't it?

hadoken!


Daddy bought SF4 today!!! (we all will chip in for it) And we all agreed that he keep it in his room and take it out next Friday, after my last paper. The closest I got to the game was just to open it up and read the manual.
6 more gruelling days!!!

American Idol



Stumbled upon the results while searching for this video.. Urgh.. Wanted to give myself a surprise by waiting until 10.50pm before the results are out. Matt isn't my favourite contestant, but I think he's quite good (and rather charming) with the piano this time round. Nice song too!

Not good

Typing this in the library now.. Need a break from my revision!

I dreamt of two unpleasant things during my one-hour nap in the morning. Two dreams which echoed a couple of my fears/peeves. Firstly, I dreamt that my new pair of specs got so badly scratched that I couldn't even wear it. Secondly, I dreamt that one of my African lit novels was badly scribbled by my tuition kid's cousin.. so badly scribbled that I couldn't study for my exam. I realized that these two dreams portray what I most consciously try to avoid. Ever since I got my pair of specs, I clean it everytime and put it nicely back into the box. As for books, I really cannot tolerate writing in them..makes me lose my interest in reading them.

And I think I'm being punished for being proud. Was telling Stella yesterday that I have a really strong resistance against falling ill. Apparently that's not very true, cuz I caught a cold while studying in the school library yesterday. Have been sneezing non stop even until now. Or maybe it's just the exam stress hehe.. I remember falling sick one week before the exams last semester. But then again, I'm not exactly feeling that stressed. Sub-conscious?

Okay, back to work. First paper tomorrow! Hope the sore throat and runny nose run away!

Run away... run away.. ruuunnnn away and never return! ( from The Lion King)

Breakfast at Leong's

One year ago, on Good Friday, Stella and I prepared breakfast for the family (Check March 2008 under archives). This year, we decided to do the same, but the menu has changed. This year, we prepared pancakes with sausage and scrambled eggs.

The pancake mix


Stella was in-charged of cooking the pancakes

The eggs.

Sausages in the oven


All set!


Food on the table!

Skippy waiting for his chance


Juice and the food
The food, upclose
Apparently I bought the wrong type of syrup
As usual


Yum yum!

It is finished! (nearly)

I finally completed my last essay, at 5a.m. I could literally feel myself floating at 4a.m.. suddenly the words looked like they're floating too. When I profread my essay just now, I realised that there were many stupid grammatical errors.. Haha!

Exams start next Wednesday! (So fast!) But it'll end pretty soon too. 8 more days to freedom!! Gonna list out what I wanna do after exams end.

1) Have a good sleep
2) Buy SF4!!! (and train!)
3) Practice Fifa 09
4) Finish reading books which I've abandoned for my Lit books
5) Try to exercise

The list goes on, but I'm looking forward to these 5 first!

Touched ;__;

I have to blog about this before I continue with my work.

Lydia and Kailing gave me a surprise visit at my house just now! They came because they knew I was feeling rather down lately, so made a decision to cheer me up. Really have to thank my mum for keeping mum about it =p She actually made me believe that her friend needed help with the computer, and would be coming over so that I could help her. I actually cancelled tuition lesson for that.

Anyway, I was really in a daze when they came in. Really glad that they came. We had fun playing the PS3,talking and eating chips, and of course, bullying Skippy (and Lydia).

Thank you Kailing and 傻傻! (oops, i mean Lydia!) Love you girls loads :)
