My heart will go on...

Damn the Titanic Exhibition and its throngs of likeminded people.

 Okay this new blog interface is kinda weird and definitely needs some getting used to.

Back to Titanic. Exams ended on thursday after the clinical trials paper which I kinda screwed ): hopefully not too badly. Oh Gawd pleasseeeee.

Went for 'Delicacy' a french rom-com flick with N and was quite impressed. Audrey Tautou! Francois was so hawt but died (Oh why do the good and handsome die young?) in a car accident while jogging. Anyway there were quite a few awakening moments throughout the flick. Bien. So I slacked home for the entire friday. And went down to MBS on saturday once I dragged myself off the bed in the early afternoon and was simply slack jawed at the hordes of people queuing outside the ArtScience Museum. The museum staff went around spreading ill joy; 1.5h to queue for the tixs and another approx 2h to queue to enter the exhibit because they were limiting the number of patrons to maximize enjoyment. Which on one hand I appreciate, but on the other, I was frustrated beyond words. So much for all the anticipation at trying to work out if my passenger died or survived the journey. It was a long day of disappointment. Wanted to try my luck the next day, but being the last day of the exhibit and having the Star Awards at MBS that night dampened the enthusiasm.

Till we meet again, my fair sunken ship. 2 broke girl$ is hilariously funny. The sarcasm, the puns, the sexual innuendos. Fab-ul-ous. Plans and so many things to do this week before internship stint begins. Excitingggg. I believe the proper sociology term is called anticipatory socialization. Oh wells. I have no idea when results are coming out and at the moment, I'm pretty pleased at where I am.

oh baby, baby

Where did the weekend go?

Fuck.

Data analysis tomorrow 65% loading confidence.
Spanish the day after tomorrow 35% at the moment. Fuck me.

Clinical trials one day after Spanish. 70%.

Goodness gracious. How the heck did I plan my timetable four months ago?

On the bright side (the only positive note), 3 more papers, four more days before goodbye dear brain, you deserve a break.

the more i learn, the less i know

Seriously. Sociology is making me question everything I ever took for granted. Okay not everything everything per se, but things that I thought were just how things work.

On the topic on gender inequality. Equality is almost a preposterous idea, more than an ideology than fact, even though there is much to be said about the progress made after the famous feminist movement(s) in 19th century, that changed education as an institution and thereby. Still, why do men get to decide what's what and the last say. So blatantly unfair but it's not like women can do anything to shake it up and not have any ill-effected ramifications upon them.

Ageism, sexism, racism. More than just discrimination. Did you even know that? Discriminatory-ism is a form of discrimination on an institutional level. We're talking about way more than just those bad color jokes.

Needless to say, I find it a bit scary for an elective module to rock my world, not necessarily in a good way. And the timing really, cannot be more impeccable seeing how exams are in oh-another-12-days to go.

E-learning week has been a disappointing bust with productivity level in ups and downs in a daily cyclic manner. It's like day1 good productivity and day2 slack away, day3 pulling up the reins, day4 chill and relax and on and on.

A bit terrified for Spanish listening tmr. Shucks.

Dios. God. Madonna. Mon dieu. Do i get extra points if I know God in several languages?

This sem is going to end on a happy note. I swear.

What took you so long
What took you all night
What took you forever to say I'm right.


90s classic. Never go wrong with retro.

bitchslap

Those heartless people going to europe, in europe, and those who've been in europe.

):

This is one of those times where one wonders how and why does time and tide waits for no man. The agony and pain that makes you feel like crap and other people seem so fine and flourishing. I am totally aware that I'm exaggerating my pain and agony and that there are so many worse things in life happening around the world...

But how can so many of my family, friends, acqaintances be heading to europe this summer? What sorcery is this?! Especially after i got rejected. I'm not saying the Earth revolves around me, it's just how can anyone else be so... unaffected? The pain still feels so fresh so thanks a lot for ripping my bandaid off. If i hear/see just one more video or one more person going over... !#$%=

Makes me feel like i've made a erroneous decision. Makes me feel like graduating early isn't quite worth it. Makes me feel so inadequate, insufficient, insignificant. Makes me feel like doing something reckless.

I should still try to apply for the cpf scholarship right. I mean... Even getting a Masters isn't that daunting an aspect. Lol

Since i'm ranting... the vow was disappointing! Never thought i'd say this, but the story just isn't sad enough. Something crucial was definitely missing in the film despite the awesome cast. I mean hello, the night before i actually teared while reading a book when the female's lead sister died due to complications in the surgery that was supposed to save her life. And the vow just didn't cut it.

Not sure if my taste is getting better or movies are getting boring.
