One paper down! 2 more to go- Science and Business.
It was really stressful when Prof threw the dice to determine which exam questions we would be doing. And she did it right on the spot, so there is no way anyone can predict which questions would come out. Sian. Had to memorize my essay questions for ALL the questions and only 2 will be tested on. :S
Am going through some shit times also. Loads of problems which I feel too lazy to write here. I hate it when shit happens during my exam period. Sigh, even my O and A levels were plagued by pretty rough patches but I SURVIVED it, so I guess I can do it again for this round of exams. go go go!

Writing a family autobiographical sketch for my Gender & Family class. Feels weird to analyze my fmaily using theories and critically examining all aspects of my life thus far.
But I think uni has taught me to think more deeply about issues.. Things that seems to occur "naturally" actually does comes as a product of certain circumstances and social arrangments. So when people say things are 'fated', I think it would be more accurate to say that things are arranged. Maybe fate has a part in which family we are born into, but it is the humans who are respobsible for shaping the family experience.
So am I right to say my parents moulded me into who I am today? haha.. I will be blasted for making such a conclusion. bleagh.

Feeling kinda sad today because I was thinking about some of the people who are close to me.. and how they have changed for the worst. They used to be supportive , non-judgmental and easy-going, but is now replaced by cynicism and crudeness. I wonder if growing up brings up the worst in us, or simply our true colours.
Take for example, a personal opinion on a topic open to interpretation. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts, but the way they bring across their views really shows you if this person have thought through his or her words carefully before voicing them. It is saddening that some people have some sort of word-vomit where they just blabber without thinking of the consequences those words have on the people around them.
And people whom I thought I can rely on... well, I think I am better off relying on myself. Ever since the dark days in my late teens, I find it hard to trust people. Somehow or another, I am wary of other's actions and being (overly) distrustful but hey, thats how we survive in this world isn't it? At the end of the day, I'll just be happier trusting in me and being the best for myself. And people wonder why I like to talk and sleep with my stuffed toys.I seriously think the best girlfriend/boyfriend in the world is an improved X99999 milllion version of myself. Haha..I should totally check my mental health for schrizophrenia now.
Unreciprocated (and imagined?)feelings of affinity is a darn sad situation.
I wish I can say this is an emo/depressing post but I think it reflects whats going on in my head, so its more of a reality jolt rather than an emo post.
On a happier note, can't wait for exams to be over so that I can get ready to see the other side of the world! Planning quite a few activities for myself for this year hur hur hur.
