Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

I am traumatised. I think I've just watched gay porn masquerading as a sitcom. Don't get me wrong..I wasn't in search of such things...and I have watched a REAL sitcom about gay guys, but no sex and NO FULL ON NUDITY!!! And where exactly did I watch such a show? In the Uni, no less...it was the prefilm to Billy Elliot. I am traumatised. The show sux and is really porn, cos (1) NUDITY and I don't mean guys in swimming trunks. There was also this brief scene of frontal nudity. Is that porn, or is that porn? Ok, maybe not hardcore, but still! and (2) There's no plot except the guys keep having sex and kissing. No plot...just sex and weird fetishes. Oh, they threw in a lesbian who gave birth to a baby and her friends of the same persuasion. The only funny parts were actually just dirty, sick jokes. I can't tell you how happy I was when everyone protested against continuing to show this series as pre-films to the rest of the movies this semester.

Other than that awful incident, I had a linguistics test today...I did some revision for it, but the questions still shocked me! Oh well...proves that complacency is a sin. Oh, Billy Elliot was good though. Not the first time I've watched it, but I understood it better this time..the last time I saw it was when I was pre-lit student (meant as adjective). Exams coming. Yucks...must revise. Why am I up at 11pm, not having bathed or done anything of consequence? Ah well, I'll start tmr!

Oh yeah, I ordered a book online! Haha, I know a lot of you would say, "Chey, no big deal" but my parents have never really trusted online shopping and I've never had a credit card, so I ordered my first book today. I couldn't get it in the bookshops, so I had to order it...plus, all the copies they are offering at Amazon.de are actually second-hand. The book's called "Die Schnellficker-Schuhe" (Erm, quick f***er's shoes...but don't think dirty thoughts...it's just a description of a kind of shoes that look like they belong to real smooth guys). It's written by this German TV host. Other than that, I bought this book called "Dear Doosie" that's half in English and half in German. "Doosie" is actually a combination of "Du" and "Sie", the informal and formal forms of "you" in German. Because the persona says, he can't tell if he should be formal or informal with "Doosie". Cool eh? Okay, maybe my explanation is not very good. I also bought "Catch me if you can" in German, cos it only cost €2,95...I think I'll get "Sushi for Beginners" or "Sushi für Anfänger" as it's called in German...also only €2,95.

Yipes, time to sleep man!!

HASH(0x87ce03c)
Your soul is bound to the Rose Petals: The
Wronged.

"'ve come undone and all hopes of mending
me are gone because the pain took my soul.
Can't you see? The only one who can put me
back together again is me."


The Rose Petals are associated with sorrow,
reflection, and wisdom. They are governed by
the goddess Persephone and their sign is The
Teardrop, or Broken Love.

As a Rose Petal, you are always self-reflective and
may be hard on yourself. You probably have
been hurt in the past by other people and can
sometimes distance yourself, as a result. You
don't usually let other get too close to you,
but you are very good at mending your spirits
back together by yourself.

My goodness, is this so true or is this so true? This is the one of the aspects of me that a lot of quizzes never hit on.
First day back to school after 2 weeks of hols. It was hard enough to get myself out of bed. I have always been an "early to bed, early to rise" kinda person, but during the hols, I was sleeping at 3am every day, waking up at 9, having breakfast, then going back to sleep till lunch time...then if I was still tired, I'd sleep again around 3pm and wake up at 5. So when I tried to adjust back to a 12 midnight bedtime and 8am wake up time..it, needless to say, failed quite miserably. But I have exams to study for, so there's no choice really.

I was revising for a test I have on Thursday, when I realised, hey, my first exam is on 29 January (one day after my 20th birthday!!)...that means, horror of horrors, that I should've started revision a month ago. But, since I can't turn back time, I'll have to make the most of what time I have left. So I made up a rough revision plan, like what to revise on what day. It turns out that there're 8 days between my 2nd last and last paper, so I can throw out the stuff for the last paper until all the rest are over. Yeah! Makes life slightly easier for me! But till then, I must work hard!

Besides working hard, I have to check my complacency man. Today we had a Hamlet quiz and one of the questions was "How many acts does Hamlet have?" And I wrote...20! Cos I was thinking of scenes instead. Can I get stupider than this? I should get my brain checked. My lecturer will laugh her head off when she reads it man! Quick, help me find a place to hide.

I am so looking forward to going back to Singapore! All the good food! And all the great stuff to do. Air con! Swimming! Going to the library to borrow ENGLISH books....shopping..etc etc!

Hey Rach, I got your card and present today! Thanks!! I'll pin it to my pencil case! I got your card too, Tiff...if you still read my blog! I'll visit your blog too Rach!
