So while i was working on finance and i saw people doing readings after readings, i was thinking
"Damn , i hate numbers. Words look far more interesting".

Today i have started on my readings for Asia Pacific Business and Ethics (sounds quite cool dun it) and i hate it! Words are starting to drive me crazy! Smart me also wanting to save money printed two pages on one side and its TINY!! Effness.

And last but not the least, i hate how my blog posts are turning into whinings about exams.Effness.

Laundry

I believe i have run out of clothes in my Hall room.

My bed has whole-heartedly agreed to be my official laundry basket cum bed. Thus, every night its an effort to clean up the bed before going to sleep. And here, i don't mean folding the clothes and putting them neatly in my laundry bag ( Well, i do partially blame it on sloth and that would be an entire blog post of its own). I take as much as my hands can hold and chuck them all on the chair on top of my bag, hoping that they all wouldn't end up on the floor over the course of the night.

The next morning, when i need my bag, i grab all the clothes and chuck them back on the bed. Believe me, its a tiring process.

I need to do laundry.

It seems that there is something addictive about venting out your frustrations through words, especially when you're in the middle of "Issuing Securities to the Public"and strange jargon ( underwriters, articles of incorporation, issuance of common stock, offer price etc etc) pops up and purely out of sheer confusion ( yea right! ) you look up and find yourself facing the laptop screen and suddenly, you have this URGE to vent!

So you go onto Blogger, start typing(and attempting to be coherent; grammatically and otherwise) while taking frequent glances at the notes. Yes, Multi-tasking, thats the word and apparently multi-tasking is unproductive and creates inefficiency.

Then, fear sets in because its 10.13 am already (of course, that was when i was typing that sentence. At this full -stop, its 10.15 am) and your train of thought starts derailing and you decide Corporate Finance is obviously more important to the society as a whole than this blog entry and that the world would need capable I Bankers like myself in the near future and thus i should study.

The Usual Before Exam Post

Its that time of the year again, when you feel like pulling out every strand of your hair, when coffee is a substitute for food, when you frantically attempt to organise your notes and find out you have not printed out half the lecture notes,tutorials are mostly undone and you're swearing at yourself for that, when everything seems so hazy and it feels like you learnt nothing the entire semester, etc etc

So, the E time is usually a period of regrets for me. Regret at not having done much practically the entire semester, Regret at not keeping up with those stupid New Year resolutions( I will do all my tutorials, i will start studying right from the beginning, yada yada yada.. does that sounds familiar or what), Regret that i do not have a single chromosome of genius-ness in me and many others.

But, there is no point regretting. You cant live your life with regrets, right. So, the nerd me, faithfully, attempts to organise my messy life (a.k.a table), makes a timetable ( and furiously attempts to follow it ), gets all my stuff ready, and sits with a cup of coffee to MUG (a.k.a study)

Then, the Es come ( and you stare at the paper and are like "what the F***) and they go!

Then the cycle repeats the following semester.

Swinging with the moods

A mood swing is an extreme or rapid change in mood (Wikipedia).


My mood off late seems to resemble the Singapore weather. Highly unpredictable.

I was trying to analyse why i was experiencing these mood swings. Let me tell you, it is NOT PLEASANT. One minute you seem perfectly normal and happy, the next minute you feel like a bull ready to charge. Its almost tiring, trying to keep up with your moods and manage people and relationships.

So, now the question is : How do you handle a mood-swinger?
(oh i like this word, its quite a swinging word. Feels like the 70s)

1) You let them rant. Rant. Whine. Complain. Cry. Whatever they want to do.
2) Do not interrupt and try to have your 2 cents worth of fame with some lame ass advice
(though it is a much appreciated attempt)
3) If there is alcohol, hand it over immediately. No one needs it more than a mood-swinger
4) It is advantageous to give chocolate.
5) Numb yourself ( this is very very important). Use dry ice, alcohol, or just be an emotion-less prick as it can get nasty (being attacked by words and occasionally even physical attack)

So, eventually, they're bound to "swing" back to a less grumpy/angry mood. Subsequently, they'll get back to normal. But till then, i guess the mood-swinger would have to walk around with a "Beware" sign.

P.S. These are with regards to my mood swings. I do not mean to hurt anyone.

Ok, i was just surfing through the net and i ran across this :

Thats a friggin swimming pool?!?! Sometimes you think about the extravagant nature of the minority rich and the many million other less fortunate people in the world and you wonder, "whats wrong with the world?"

and i came across this video:





pretty awesome i think. Man did evolve from apes/monkey. These animals just managed to retain their intelligence while man's losing it.

Inauguration

Well, apparently its time that i started a blog.

So that got me thinking, what should i blog about?

You know how at the start of modules (ok this is just the beginning of my uni talk), or conferences, or talks, meetings etc etc, they always set a clear agenda of what is to be expected, what is not to be expected.

Well, i though i would set clear expectations about my blog so as to filter readers (per se) or to put it in a nicer way, not waste their time if they come to my blog expecting something but not getting what they want.

1) : Do not expect me to talk about my personal life, my problems, the issues i'm facing, my hopes and fears, my deepest darkest secrets and fantasies because how i feel about talking about these issues on the World Wide Web is like how some people feel about PDA(public display of affection).

2) : Do not expect all posts to make sense. They may not.

3) : There is no point 3.

So, what am i going to write about? Its mostly going to be random. It could be about anything from the pains of having a messy bed to global warming. There might be occasional bimbo moments where i go on and on about a cute guy or an awesome dress i saw but whats the point of being a girl if you dont have your bimbo moments.

Ok, i think i have better things to do.
