It was not too long ago when I heard the words "Pens Down, Please stop writing!"
I have been dreaming of this day - The last exam of my school life, since I first entered University - My exact words :" I can't wait to get out of school, cause I simply hate the course and school to the core! I am in the Wrong degree & Wrong School! "
I thought I will be filled with jubilation, have the temptation to jump up and down the exam venue, wave my hands in the air and shout YAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was partly restrained by the image conscious side of me, who did not want to be labelled as a lunatic/ weirdo - SGP is so tiny, weird news travels even faster than a bullet train in Japan! I was partly surprised that when everything ended, in place of jubiliation I was filled with much regret!
I feel that Uni Life is a little Overrated![ I bet many of you will disagree with me ] It is not compulsory to fill your Resume with countless prestigious internships or various CCAs/competitions & attend those parties/bashes [plaster those fake smiles on your face and act like you are having the time of your life] just to build up your "NETWORK"!
for three years:
I never participated in any school activity,
In fact I hardly explored the school!
{ I was only familar with the canteen &
how to get to the lecture theatres & library!}
Was a sleeping member in Odac for two months,
Other than that I never joined any cca.
Made many wrong choices in course selection!
I often got really pathetic grades!
The non "tahanable" acquaintances,
Outnumbered the friend/s I made!
Hated canteen food to the max,
But ate it to hush the rumbling of my empty tummy!
Hated the stinky toilet even more!
Drove to school once - for my last lesson!
Coordinated my timetable in such a way,
that I had 1,2,3 free days in yr 1,2,3 respectively!
An Internship for the E********! - the company i met made it bearable!
A short summary of my 3 years!
For many Uni Life is the most enjoyable time,
of their whole school life,
Maybe for others, but definitely not for me!
A Relief from the stinky & mundane life I had in Uni: Grateful for Summer Breaks and Free days!
Yr 1
Went for my maiden backpacking trip to Darwin
Was very Home Sick - called back everyday
Was Silly, didn't buy a calling card
Chalked up a huge phone bill!
Returned with an overweight baggage
Filled with Sweets & cocoa powder for friends which I found could be bought in SGP! [dumb right]
My Cloth Baggage was cut!
Heading off to Vietnam next with my family
Travelled from the North to the South
Came back with huge conical hats!
And a huge love for Viet Food (:
Only regret was not buying their traditional costume
S told me that she paid $8 for it,
so when the tailor wanted to charge me $12 for a tailored set
Being narrow minded I insisted of just paying just $8 for it,
when my bargaining power didn't work ,
I didn't buy it!
AND it was not the MILK Fruit Season
Yr 2
Went to the UK alone,
Had a Memorable Experience!
Was a dumb idiot again
I forgot to buy a calling card,
Chalked up an even larger bill than the previous time!
This time my luggage lock was cut at Heathrow on the way back!
Went cookbook crazy there,
as it was so so so so much cheaper than Singapore
carried home 4 cookbooks!
Under-estimated the weather,
brought shorts and sleeveless and too many tops
ended up buying 2 jackets as I was freezing!
Lost my fleece even before I wore it,
dropped it without realising I dropped it
thankfully they were kind enough to send it back to London!
Helped out at C**
An eye opener!
Joined Salsa - found out from there I had two left feet,
Took Spanish - together with my partner, coined out weird, idiotic and absurb phrases which were quite lame but highly amusing! Realised that I didn't have a flair for the language!

Fly me to Darwin again
Interesting & Comical Signs
Mother Nature's Beauty
An 'Alfresco' Cinema!
I went during winter so it was very chilly!
Do remember to bring your jacket and wear long pants
I labelled this as "Bishi Bashi" Ice-Cream!
You can choose a flavour & the topings
Following which the counter stuff will bash, mash and mix them together!
with all the banging
the ice-cream looked like it was having a massage!
The first time I was up close and personal with so many fishesThey were about 30-50cm long
I found this little quirky spot along the shoreline
where I found many stones/rocks which had cool prints on them
the one at the left bottom - reminded me of a fish, just without its tail!
the top right -looks like it has a picture of a girl with stylish bob cut printed on it!
I love the swirly effect on the rock
http://www.adventuretours.com.au/
I highly recommend using this tour operator!
The group & the tour guide really makes or breaks a tour!
Fortunately
it was quite enjoyable
Life in the outbacks
Camping Outdoors and freezing my butt off!
Temperatures fell to below 0 degrees
Though I was in five layers!
It was still so so so cold!

the dates are getting nearer,
the days are getting longer, (been burning the Mid-Night oil)
Phew
very soon everything will be over ...
My Brains are Semi-Fried
My Plan:
Stand Tall like a Giant
to intimidate & scare away the "Subjects"
Hopefully, it won't be the other way around!
Summer Break,
is nearing!
Come September
Time to repay those IOUs -
[I signed since birth ]
Brilliant!
(that explains my daily headache)
A Spastic Post
so .[dots] I know!
Blame it on the Exams!
it is making me a little queer

There is a Mega LoopHole in StarBucks!
If you are a Lover of Chocolate Milk,
A Little out of Money,
Dying for a comfy place to rest your feet after a crazy day of Shopping
then listen up
Here is a suggestion
This method has been tried and tested (Not by Me but by ... )
If you have ALOT of guts, go to the Drink Collection Counter and ask for a cup of water. After replenishing your thirst with the water or Pouring it into your Water Bottle. Go to the Self Service Counter, where you can help yourself to the Milk and pour in as much milk as you want into the cup! Unscrew the Cocoa Container and dump in the powder! For that moment stop counting the Kilos, Be generous and dump in the amount which you think will make a yummy chocolate shake! Stir it and viola, you will have a yummy drink F.O.C! That's if you can survive the angry stares from the Counter Staff, Risk being approached by the Manager and queer looks from fellow paying customers (:
