Anyone interested??

Going to school "just cause" on a Saturday was definitely a first for me...
But going to school on a Saturday and staying till it close is just a sign that...

"Fiona has officially gone mad!"

While waiting for the bus (yes... surprise! i didn't take a cab home...)
i saw...

I had to take a second look to confirm
But yup! (for those who recognise)
It's Daryl!
(haha...)

***

Today was just a drag and pure torture....
Try teaching with no sleep...
And guess what!?

I'm going out soon to meet the girls for yet another overnight marathon!!

According to Snapple,

Fiona's becoming an elephant!

p.s/ don't ask me why i keep refering myself in the 3rd person today... I also don't know why!

I think this is a new high...

Start Friday - 2pm
End Saturday - 645am
Slept Saturday - 730am-9am
Taught Saturday - 1045am-1230pm
Start again Saturday - 2pm
End finally Saturday - 10pm

New record!
32hours with only 1 half hours of sleep!!

Sleep is like stripping me of some precious time...
I think the ginseng caps are really doing wonders la!
I'm still getting fatter by the min...
All that eating and no exercise... (very very bad!!!)

Okie... Done with my random post
Tomorrow's another long day...
I got one more chapter to go before i can catch some Zzz

Yes!!
It's getting closer...
Yay-ness!!

CF was a stunner!
But i'm finish dwelling on it... So ya...

Went for a good solid dinner (proper food finally)
and indulge in a little movie-ing
We watched Indie! (i just realised that today is the opening... haha!)
Then realise that there's so many others i wanna watch! (Sex in the City!!! - can't wait)
Wel it was a good break.

The past week was pure madness!
From nothing... To something...
I manage somehow.
But i seriously think it was only by the grace of GOD that i manage to do it.

Getting accustom to all that "All day and all night" studying
This group is really driven and we just pushing each other on!
Which is doing all of us some good
This is really finally finally stretch...
And the heat is on!

Sleep now is like a luxury...
Savouring what amount i can conjure
Good night

Amidst all that studying and mugging and stressing
we still find time to be just girls and gossip and giggle

Girls are still out numbered
But I'm so happy that Agnes joined us today (Yay! another girl joining the group!)
Eating is more fun when there's an extra person to share with
More stories to exchange
and more plans made.

In addition to the huge long list of things we planned to do
Jas and Agnes are interested in joining Shape run too
and they most prob be joining us to BKK in Sept.
actually may have a few more ppl interested but not so confirmed. The crowd is growing! Yay!
(They are really cool ppl. I'm sure y'all will like them too!)
So excited la...


Anyway... Back to mugging for now....

Check this out if you're free or just need some entertainment

Top entry (the McDonald's one)

I had a good laugh!

A lot of mindless rumbling... No pictures....

Another sleepless 24 (more) hours!!
It's like becoming a routine that i don't sleep on Friday nights...

The guys came over to study again...
So glad that Jas could make it... Then i don't have to be the only girl.

Starting time: Friday; 1pm

We totally conquered the whole room (again...)
This time it was CF all the way for me!!
Good thing i have Pauly Jas and Darryl mugging the same...
Bugged them continuously with my endless questions.
I'm totally clueless la...
I now i have 5 days to become un-clueless!
How la!? *die*

Anyway....
The guys decided that we should make it an all night-er...
And i agreed to their craziness!

Productivity and efficiency fluctuated
There was a point where the words all look singular and didn't make sense in a sentence...
It was then when supper was in order!
Gosh.... Studying is making me fat!
Yes girls.. My diet is going down the drain! No time to think about it....
Guess i've to make up with twice the amount after my papers! *sucks*

*don't mind me if the points don't flow and has no link*

Anyway....
We tried our best to last through the night...
During one of our breaks, we watch Iron Chef (Japan) - Damn power and super funny la!!
And the guys are really clockwork man!
Exactly every hour they will walk out for their *ahem* smoke break.
And how long they stay depends on how many cigs they have left...
Like when Jas called to ask how long more they will be staying
Melvin's answer:
"I'll stay until my cigarettes run out. Which is about 4sticks, so about 4 more hours lor!"
Damn funny! I just burst out laughing la!

There was this whole issue in the morning..
but i'm not in the right frame to bitch about it to it's fully capacity
So... i shall let it slide. (at least for now)

Though a class...
Then back to my notes...
I swear that all i see is it all spinning around
expected returns...
variance...
covariance...
CML....
SML....
mean-variance analysis....
Hmm... don't you think it's weird that we talking about efficiency but there's no abbreviation for correlation coefficient...
*just random*

So many interesting conversations...
Funny moments...
Out-of-the-blue, make-no-sense questions....
It was draining... Very draining!
But so fun all the same.

Okie... I cannot continue anymore..
More boring updates soon...

Anyway, the whole "marathon" finished at,
End time: Saturday; 6pm

Yes... Seriously... No kidding!
That's how long we studied for...

Oh did i mention that thanks to this bunch i'm getting hooked unto red bull!
(the sliver and blue pls but gold if there's really no choice. haha!)
It's like the best pick-me-up at the moment!
*I need my shot*

Finally a bit of a free time for an update with pictures!
Last Sunday was Mummy's Day!
We decided to have dinner together on Sat instead.
The usual "Where to eat??" "You decide la!" conversation in the car
And outta the blue, I just said Dempsey!
Actually i wanted seafood...
But Mum wanted to try something different
So we checked out this whole row of restaurants.
There was Jap (looks normal), Italian (didn't feel like it), and this Northern Indian place.

We haven't had good Indian food since Dad's birthday. So we decided to give this place a try.

Place: Vintage India
The service was excellent from the moment we stepped in.
The staff was gracious and polite (most will agree it's not something very common)
The ambiance was lovely!
Looks really grand yet still comfortable enough
The table setting was really pretty.
Dim lights but not too dark (for pictures!)
And they gave me one of those pretty flowers to put in my hair.


We ordered and waited...
Photo op!

And the foodie arrived!
Yay!

Sherm said that the portions looked small...
But you'll be amazed how much can the stuffed into that little bowl!

It was all yummy yummy!!
We all really enjoyed our meal very much!

And of cause we never say no to....

B&J!!! We like....
(new month so dad got his treat too!)

"Latest Trend"
Studying over at my place...
The guys came over the other day and we just "conquered" half the room!
The good thing about studying all together is that there's always company nearby
And these guys are an awesome source of entertainment!
All mugging hard and someone will suddenly crack a joke...
The guys and their super prompt (hourly) smoke break
(i'm fine with it as long it's far far away form me)
And of cause Melvin's ever entertaining lappie!
There's the instant arcade
And "movie central" (although i don't really wanna know what they're watching...)
I mean what can keep 4 (one hidden) grown guys all glued to the screen like this??

*i didn't say anything ar...* (haha...)

Today is always the First of the Last
It is also my most xiong-est day!
Bright and early i was there,

i don't like to squeeze with others so i rather go early and get mentally prepared.

I wasn't late but still decided to cab down.
It's damn draining to squeeze with the morning crowd k.
And today is not a day to tire myself out like this...
And guess how much my crazy cab fare was!?

Bloody $22!!

Madness la....

Morning surcharge cost more then taking cab to airport at a off peak timing la....
Anyway....

ME paper was okie. I did what i know. Didn't wanna dwell on it too much. There was still ICP to worry about. (told you it's my xiong-est day!)

Had onion rings for lunch... Couldn't really eat...
Then Melvin came early bearing a wonderful gift!

Red Bull gives you wings!

I could do with any form of energy today
I had one can! The just as i finished, the Red bull car pulled up.
Melvin and i started waving to the girls to get their attention!
Another can wouldn't hurt! We need the brain juice!
So down another can! So tempted for another...
But we're almost at our daily quota already (3 cans per day only)
All that juice and i was ready to go!

ICP was ok too
Just glad that the questions looked familiar
(in other words, i kindda understood what they are asking for)
The first question was something i thought i was prepared for... But i just draw a total blank!
Thank goodness there was others that i could do too.
Wrote till my hands ache....
Manage to complete my paper...

I'm just really praying and hoping that today went well.
I seriously just wanna pass (at least for ME)
The papers were do-able
I just hope i did enough.

Surprisingly, the feel after walking outta the hall was one of relieve
Really really relieve that today is over.

"2 down and counting!"

(I just need 50!!! Please...)

First paper(s) in 2 days...

What is worse then that??

Having 2 of the xiong-est paper the same day!

What's worse-er then that??

Not prepared at all!!!

What's worse-est then that??

Stuck in bed with the most terrible pain imaginable...

Almost taking an overdose and it's still not helping...

And i can't do anything about it!!

“HELP!!”

My Mummy said that: “Mothers’ Day should be like Valentines. So long as everyday the husband and kids are good, then everyday is Mothers’ Day!” (how more practical can she get la!?)

I love my Mummy

(Hey… Don’t forget the Daddy too ya!)

The whole overseas conversation sparked of again
But serious... this should have been a conversation 3 years ago....
A bit too late for it now...
(But then again... 3 years ago the conversation would be to convince me Not to go...)
Oh these fickle minded people...
Somehow my grand dad suddenly been brain wash with the idea of us all going overseas to study.
And he wants me to be study more!!
Just now he told me to go do my PhD!!
Hmm... Prof Fiona
Has a nice ring to it!
Haha...
He gotta be kidding la!!!
I'm thinking over 10 times whether i should pursue my masters let alone a PhD!!
Studying more right now seems like a horrid idea...
But maybe down the road when things are more settled... I may re consider.

"Yes, and you can call me Prof Fiona."

A typical conversation between 2 girls driven crazy by ICP!

ZA 05... ZB 07... Got same??
Then you have 06 prelim not?
Quick check!
You have 07 prelim?? and o5??
I downloading now...
Ok... there's some the same! I think got hope...
But cannot confirm leh
Hey... How come don't have 04 ZA?
Find online leh.... Quick la!
Wait wait... I finding...
What you wanna compare with??
ZB 06.... You have??
Yes yes... You see ZA 04.
Ok....
Just give me 4! I just need 4!
Don't need exactly the same... Similar can liao...
Pls let it be similar!
Then there's still 08 prelim. Shouldn't be the same right??
Compare to ZB 07...
I don't think it's like this....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
(and the conversation can go on for hours like this)

It's crazy that i would wanna remember this....
But i guess it's crazy situations like these that strangely bond ppl together...
I'll remember!
And be glad that once i was part of all this frenzy!

Daph>> I just have write this here. If not i scare will forget to tell u.

Last night i dreamt that we were at a airport, supposedly going to bkk, but it wasn't changi airport... It looked more high class! haha...
Some of my other friends were with us too, but we didn't plan to go together. Just so happen to meet at the airport.
Then while walking to the plane, i suddenly say wanna eat marks and spencer chocolate digestive biscuit. (must be cause of your entry).
Magically a M&S appeared in front. But you keep saying don't buy la... wait eat liao fat! Then you just walked away...
I was happily buying and taking my time to walk to the plane, when there was a final call for me. But i didn't know the gate number!
I tried looking at the board thing but it was in some handwriting that was impossible to read...
But somehow i manage to get on the plane.
The plane was different.
The door was near the back of the plane.
We were seated last row before the door... and my friends were sitting first row after the door.
Then suddenly you keep asking me to share my digestive biscuit with you.
But the air stewardess keep asking us not to eat and keep quite!
Suddenly outta the blue, you ask me got bring money not?
Then i realise that i don't have any Thai Baht! or SG$!!
*panic panic*
You ask how come my Dad never give me any?
Then i was like "Shit! forgot to tell my Dad! Die! How?"
Somehow we mange to make a phone call on the plane.
And my Dad said that he'll get his friend to pass me some money at the airport.
But you were like "No No... ask him to meet us later. I wanna meet my Mum first."
Then i was like okie....

Then the dream ended here. Cause i remember thinking that this was really ridiculous and i must be dreaming...

Okie... I have a very weird thought process la...
But it felt damn real la!

Some mysterious source of energy is sapping my energy
For some weird reason,i feel so so drained...

Exactly one more week...
I don't know what to do anymore...
The next one month is gonna determine the outcome of the last 17years of my life.
The pressure is mounting,
The heat is on!!

I am officially freaking out now!

How do you know you're going crazy soon?
You dream of your notes and text chasing after you saying

"wake up! wake up! you haven't finish reading me yet!"

The worse thing is you wake up in a shock and feel utterly guilty for closing your eyes for that 15mins!
This is madness la!

I'm gonna close my eyes for an hour now (and pray i don't dream)
There's too much to cover and too little time left!

Worse case...
I'll just have to burn everything and drink it down la!

Everyone's gone and i feel so alone....
*sigh*
No mood to blog...
Blah!

Today is my last official day of school.
Attend my last class...

With friends that i've seen in and out for the past 3 years.
Most heartfelt was that today sitting beside was the friend i made 3 years ago,

I remember it was Soci class early on a Wed morning.
First soci class, and i was late!
Didn't know anyone, so i randomly chose a seat.
There was an empty seat beside me, not long after a girl tapped my shoulder and ask if the seat was taken. I took my bag away and hurried her to sit down. And that started our friendship.

This is probably my most treasured friendship of this 3 years.


Class today was no different.
We all gossiped in class....
Complained how boring it was...

Pass notes...
And asked silly questions!
But deep down we all knew that this was gonna be the last time we'll get to sit in class like this, and it was quite saddening actually.

Lesson was over as quickly as it started.
Our routine trip to the library...
Then lunch-ed together ( prob for the last time in sch)
Everything felt the same, but we knew that it was gonna be the last time.

We said our good-byes
promised each other that we'll be mugging hard

but this time instead of saying we''ll see each other next week
It was "See you at expo!"

We are at our final lap,
The sprint to the finish line
(our last final lap!)

Despite all the complaining and lamenting
Despite all the resentment
Through all the good and bad and boring...
I think i'm gonna miss school.

***

Today everything is in PINK to celebrate!

Congrats again boys!!!
So proud of you
So so happy for you!

My stupid brother went all the way to London...
And all he came back with (for me) was....

My brother sucks la!
So many pretty things there and he brings back something to fatten me up!

Lucky he was smart enough to get this for the person that actually sponsored his trip....

Major serious chio-ness!!

"ORD loh!!"

Pet phase for the night.
And i don't blame them for screaming this at the top of their lungs the whole night!
After all they been through...
(i already feel so much just listening to their stories,
let alone actually physically and mentally going through it all)
I feel their pride, and am very proud of them!

Congrats boys!
(hmm... or should it be men!?)

Another awesome experience to write about,
But time and energy level is seriously not on my side.
The lack of sleep is seriously kicking in bad!
Thinking that you're superwoman (who needs no sleep) is starting to be feel like a bad idea.

But on a "good" note,
my appetite shrank to the size of a pea!
The mind have to focus more energy to doing other things (like keeping the eyes open and walking in a straight line) that i haven't felt hungry since thursday.
Well maybe i was hungry but i couldn't really tell.
Haha

Oh well....
Now since my daddy don't want to bring me out to eat.
And my house has nothing! (completely nothing.... not even maggie mee!)

"I shall forget abt eating and finally get sleep!"
(Damn and there's still got tons more to study too!)

36 hours and counting...
I must be crazy!


"At a place where logic doesn't make sense anymore."




"I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music..."

Oh gosh...
I just did something that i so shouldn't be doing right now...
And i can't go to sleep or else i wouldn't be able to wake...
Guess i'll just go study now to kill time and ease the gulit!
Damn i odd to be shot!
