life is too short to waste time being sad

yesterday was quite an eventful day with two very loud OMG exclamations!

i had my paper first time in the kr mpsh. so as usual, i opened a can of nescafe and placed it at the top left corner of the table for my caffeine dosage during the exam. just before the exam started, the girl in front swung her jacket around and toppled the FULL can of coffee on the floor. and then came my OMG!! which was freaking paiseh coz imagine all the turned heads. then instinctively i ran to the lobby toilet and took hell lots of toilet paper to clean up the gross mess, whereby the girl juz looked down with bewilderment apologizing profusely. and as i was cleaning, the invigilator went ok you may start now and there i was, squatting on the wooden floor, cleaning the spilt coffee -__-

the second exclamation was for a much better cause. i was at the third floor linkway rooftop, sitting on the ledge of the paraphet wall recalling to kt of the soteriology of buddhism. when suddenly i saw sth at the corner of my eye, then at the same time looked up and went OMG!!

I SAW A SHOOTING STAR GO ACROSS THE SKY!! a bright flash that flew past, for a good one second i think. and because it was so totally random and unexpected, i felt a silly adrenaline rush of happiness the entire night:)

to sleep now, or study till night and get a good sleep for tmr's 9am paper?

i'm blogging excessively again. but today's a good gooood day! :D

met yayan to study at wisma starbucks today.. and i think i did quite alot! altho according to her, it's relative haha. i think we had our most intellectual conversation ever, one of anyway. because recently i've been reading up alot somehow, inspired by studying about government and financial crises, religion and history; and she's one of the few who can entertain me ever-so-informatively :)

and then went to meet the big bro for dinner and a good catch up at ajisen. who's now donning work shirt and slacks woohoo! happy 2_ birthday lester! i shall keep ur age a secret muahaha.

when i came back to check my email, i got 9 good news - 9/10 of my mapped modules got APPROVED! must be my fabulous translations haha. so now i can choose which fits my timetable best!! and my second official acceptance letter is on its way. i spent DAMN long carefully crafting the email, keeping the french particularities about politeness in mind. so i googled all the formal ways of requesting, and those format phrases like thank you madame in advance and i sincerely send over my distinguished wishes. when i finally got my reply, it was [in simple french] i do not understand you. do you mean you lost your letter and want me to re-send?

*FAINTS. i told you my french was bad. so this time i just replied oui, merci madame.

but well at least everything is settled now! must be the good luck we got from watching the leonids meteor shower last nite. a few of us went out to marina barrage, armed with lotsa food supplies and camera equipment. and AC managed to catch a photo of a UBER HUGE shooting star!

isn't it AMAZING?! :D

haha although we didn't see much (except two shooting stars for me), it was quite fun la. just that the whole night of study plans just evaporated, because prior to that i went to catch 2012 with kt. altho the front part was abit looong and the whole show mega drama, i still liked it. i guess the drama makes for feel-good watching, but i thot the show had some thought-provoking undertones. in the show, the government was blamed for trying to cover up the impending doom. but if in reality, even if today they know the world will indeed end in 3 years, will they let us know? because imagine if they do, the world will stop functioning immediately. nobody will go on with their lives, the economy stops working, and the end of the world will be brought forward.

not that i think anything will happen la.
