To count your blessings

Today's blessings:

1) I saw my favourite French tutor after such a long time at AS1 walkway just now! So I stopped by for a jiffy for a nice chat. Ok the reason why I was so happy to see her cos I've always thought (and established) that she's a fantastic tutor. The way she explains things is easy to comprehend back then when I wasn't as passionate about the language and just simply taking french for fun. She's just so nice and sincere. It's great to have professors and teachers around who treat you like a friend rather than just a student.

2) I am done with French and Statistics quiz! Ok, two down, I have 3 more to go! Before recess week that is.

3) Spoke to Nisha during genes lecture about her experience in Delhi. Ok apparently now I know (much more than before) what to look out for when we're going to India this December! Can't wait though. Proj Nai Disha peeps are really a great, fun bunch!

4) I ate the nicest Nasi Ayam Penyet after what seems like the longest time ever! The sambal is to die for! It's spicy, hot and just awesome! What really dictates the sumptousness of this meal is really the sambal, hands down. And guess where my parents bought them from? The Aiman's Cafe! No, not my friend Aiman, but there's really this neighbourhood coffeehouse called 'Aiman's Cafe' which is equidistant from my house and Aiman's (my friend). LOL damn funny.

5) Today is by far the longest day of the week I'd have. Simply because I joined the Thursday's lecture for genes and society when my session is supposed to be tomorrow. Ah this is bad because tomorrow would be the last day I'll get to see MrEyecandy who is no longer a ForestMan cos he finally shaved! Ok I should stop digressing. Changes is due to the collection of passport tomorrow lol. So the blessing here is, I don't think the number of hours of classes I had today amounted to 8 hours (as it was supposed to be) because stats tutorial and abnormal psych lecture ended early! So lesser brain cells died.

6) Movies discussion with Ruiqi and Jiayee just like last Thursday (: Oh man, today no colour-coodination people, perhaps magic doesn't work anymore? Nooo!

7) Ok, I know I think this point is merely filling up the list here (lmao) but my french prof seems to remember my name very well now. She said it thrice today? So no more 'Fakinah' although that was just only once. Only once but the most severe. I've had 'shakina', 'sikin' (almost close to skeen), and some other closely sounding names but not that!

8) Kiki is back! For a study break that is. HAHAHA, this girl never really seems to be far away cos she's always coming back. Although I'd like to go to KL again!

I am SO TEMPTED to lie next to my mom and my sis, in front of the television, watching movies as what they are doing now, but I have 15 chapters of developmental psychology to study for by next Wednesday. And that is .... in F-I-V-E days time holy cows!

There's always 1001 things to do

Now, I supposed most Singaporean bloggers will harp about the flood at Orchard Road. I shall skip that, although I'd like to add that I actually woke up this morning (11 am) feeling so good because the weather's nice. Little did I know for two hours there was a flood at Orchard Road and to think that such occurences are rarity. Ok I hope they would start doing something to the drainage system. Working at Media C. for 2 days was quite an experience, except that Aiman and I did nothing much on Sunday and we kind of did a million more things on Monday because we had ongoing tasks to do. Plus we've met exciting people and also, hmm, interesting people (of whom we secretly gave nicknames for us to refer to). I suddenly thought of The Devil Wears Prada and I actually wonder how the life of assistants are in this line of work, are they really treated like shit? Is that a part of climbing up the ladder in this career path? Ok random. The awesome thing is really to see how they swi...

Si tu le dis : thus, vegetables. As a matter of fact, I did taste artichoke, and it's pretty good. Very delicious vegetable indeed, right Alvin? HAHAHAH!

Dumbledore

I know this is probably another random entry. But I'm excited for Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows movie and I suddenly thought about the day when I read through the final pages of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. I must admit, I was actually mourning for the great Albus Dumbledore when he died (or got killed rather). Not the kind of mourning that goes on for days, just a momentary one. And I pictured in my mind, how everyone in Hogwarts were mourning for their beloved Headmaster and how solemn the environment must have felt to the extent that I actually thought that the bedroom where I was, in this tiny, little Singapore, felt equally dull and grey as well. It's impressive how characters come alive like that and reel me into the world of stories. I even had texted Revathi about how sad I felt when I was done with the book. Pardon for the melodrama, but it's the power of narration, and of course the brilliant writer herself, J.K Rowling. And certainly, the mo...
