Wow! A whole month without blogging. I had plenty of time but seriously you would not do it if you had the cranky dial-up connection that I had at home.
My holidays. Uneventful while at the same time it was also very relaxing. It was filled with me helping my bro, loads of TV (but not too many movies), missing a lot of friends, and spending time at home with my mom and niece.
Apart from that, the main higlight was of course the release of my exam results - overperformed in the unlikeliest of modules - like 4101 with a B+ and an A for 4201 - well, those were kinda unexpected. Thought I deserved more for my 3215 (advertising_ - got a B- and also a B- for intro to media writing - to think that the ones I tried hardest for. And for my SOC module apparently, I missed my A- by a mark - well, can't complain - it moderated to an even 4.0 - fair enough.
Hmph! What else was there? I believe for the first time that I actually missed my buddies back home - my CNM buddies! Hehe! They are a fun bunch and I am kinda I am back with them in classes!
What else? Ohh! I got a nice blue cap from Meera! Its a Nike and though I would usually condone them using child labour, I must say they did really good with the cap. Don't give me the eye-roll - its NIKE that employs them kids and not me.
And my birthday bash was nice - my lankan friends got me a fantastic long-sleeves shirt and birthday cake and loads of well wishes. It was highlighted by accusations that I was downcast since they held it in suspense - I don't know how true it is but the only reason I think I could be depressed is because I am thinking of my thesis 24/7 - and I am as good as 3 months ago - blank.
Haiz! So many things running through my mind. Oh yeah! I almost missed my flight coming in. Hilarious. Me being the ass decided to really test emirates. I went there like half an hour before take-off when the recommended cut-off was 1.5 hours. Emirates had, of course, promptly closed the counter and when I finally made it to the departure area following the screening and like 20 mins before take-off, there was no counters. Began running frantically. Finally, after like what seemed eternity, a lady tells me "Oh Emirates? The counter is closed, sir." I was like SHIT! This is a one-month expiry ticket - its a use it now or never thingy. I started pleading. Lucky me. I had checked in ONLINE and had a seat number. They made a very special exception and opened both passenger and baggage counters and also cited the plane being slightly late as a reason that I did make it. PHEW! BUT they still made me run like a KM to departure gate 8 - and all this time I thought the plane could still take off without me - and I finally got there to see a bunch of NUS dudes and dudettes still seated since they had not yet boarded. I think I have had enough of the huffing and puffing - will be sticking to making it earlier in future! :)
Ha! What else? I started work at Law Library. Quite OK. $6 bucks an hour. The work is quite tough and mundane. The people are nice though - very friendly. Man, this makes me wonder. Two of my friends got excellent breaks - one friend, Praveen has got a mind-blowing offer. It is just too good to talk about it since I will jinx it. Good luck to all and I hope that something rubs off onto me too.
Well, I will be updating regularly from now - and todays highlight was a boring NOC meeting. FUCK! This people like totally wasted time on some nonchalant matters and upon returning the pre-party alcohol in lieu of Shavanka's 22nd B'day had toxicated quite a few people - Shavanka was happy and was sure to get laid tonight - with or without his consent.
Hmm! I am just a mixture of all emotions - I want to achieve so much and do so much - but for now I am only pondering how bright everyone else's future is! This blows - like Adnan Sami said "Mari life karadai! Ek nahi to Char Diladeh!"
CHEERS!!! :)
