So, the...horror(?) begins...

After a long trip down to London to meet Muz yesterday I thought it was nice to finally find my way back to my room and get some rest...

when, upon logging into the uni e-learning portal, I discovered: reading lists and guess what, instructions for:

COMPULSORY WORK PLACEMENT.

*faints*

Lol, all this before the start of lessons. Or even Induction. Ah well, at least this "school re-opening shock" will come to me gradually and not at one go...

No wonder they say one would be swamped by 2nd year stuff. I can't imagine how 3rd year would be... >_>

---

Later on during the night I could hear a ton of noise coming out from the courtyard and the road leading towards the halls...must be the next batch of people moving in, lol.

But the horror was people blowing party horns, shouting and banging on everyone's doors (really loudly, mind you!) sometime later. I was pretty much annoyed by all the noise (I have a low noise tolerance level, I prefer some peace and quiet) - I didn't answer the door instead and stopped whatever that I was doing for a while, just to act as if there was no one in the room.

Tomorrow is start of term. And me being a transfer student, I really dunno how my peers will look at me tomorrow.

Arg. Pwned by culture shock. `_`

WHEEEEEE

WHEEEEEE

Yesssss I'm in the UK xD

HAHAHA

*lol i'm so hyper now. wait till next week comes...

EDIT: OH NO I don't even have to wait. My TON of reading material is already online on the e-learning thingy. ARGH what short-lived bliss.

3 weeks...

...isn't a long way to go.

Yeah, I've made my most-rushed ever big decision to go for further studies in the UK in the span of a few days. And now I'm due to fly off...September 21st? Thinking of it still makes my head spin @_@

Gotta go off and rush for preparations now...lol.

lolUpdate.

How time flies....

I can't believe I'm already churning out uni applications one by one by one. I can't believe it...it's like I'm going to step into a whole new phase of life...something even more different than my last 5 year stint spent overseas studying...

*Sidenote: People who might seem "scary" to one might actually be perfectly normal or even down-to-earth if you keep in touch with 'em. Hey who knows...maybe L squared M could have also been such a person...just that her "scary" reputation overshadowed her true personality...

Pangea Day

I think it's cool.

Malaysia - Singapore, anyone?

Poisson d'Avril!

Hahahahahahaha!

Happy April Fools!

It is the practice in French culture to stick a picture of a fish on one's back during this time, I guess...

So here's one from the FISHball Hermit to you!

Poisson d'Avril!

Nightmares of nightmares...

Well, this morning I woke up as usual..and everything was fine till I was on my way to college....

I just realised that last night, I had the nightmare of all nightmares--

I dreamt that I was holding a dagger and attempting to kill someone I vaguely recognise, but could not identify who was the poor fellow. And I don't remember me having any reason to kill - I just went and stabbed him/her right in the chest.

I remember clearly, the wound wasn't deep - I did not drive the blade to the hilt. But there was bleeding, and I remember my dream-self being extremely psychologically disturbed after the act.

...scary right? X___X

Reading scientific journals makes my head spin @_@

As usual, I've been putting myself into huge piles of merde lately. Considering my, er, usual habits, it's not surprising.

In order to clear myself out of the biggest pile of merde that I'm in now, I am hereby slaving myself out in front of the web browser, staring at scientific journals, of which I am 99% unable to make head or toe out of. I'm already in a pile of deep merde and now I'm drowning in it. And no, I can't picture myself reaching my goal of completing this task...I'm sorry Mr. Haw, I don't see ay Cheese out there...

>_< I can't imagine the day I have to write one of these jargon-laced, mostly incomprehensible papers for my final thesis...

End. Back to work.

Peon of Warcraft III fame: "Work, work..."

Why...

- does my computer mouse's left button double click when it's supposed to click, and does not respond whenever I want it to?
- does my school wireless connection ban MapleStory? Or even Hotmail, for that matter... (O_O)
- is TmNut Green Snailyx so sloooowwww
- do I not dare to drive on my own despite wanting to get out there so badly?
- am I such a failure in socialising?
- am I so demotivated to do anything despite studying Human Motivation this term?
- am I crapping so much here when I have tons of projects to do...
- am I...

Oh well i realised this was total merde.

*scurries away searching for "New Cheese"*

A little music...

After the long hiatus from blogging, I figured that I should do something to revitalise things up a bit XD

During the recent trips on the plane to and fro the USA, I became re-acquainted with a certain piece of simple yet inspiring piece of light music. It is a piece that most might know by tune but not by its name...

I was first hooked to the flowing, soothing melody of Kevin Kern's "Sundial Dreams" when it was played during various school occasions such as graduation and prize presentation ceremonies during my course of study in RV. Of course, by then I could only enjoy the tune during such rare events. Personally, this song has paired itself with events of great importance. Despite its slow tempo and soft, smooth melody, to me listening to this song motivates myself instead. I guess I have been classically conditioned to associate this song with times of glory and pride o_O

Whatever the case, as soon as I heard this song playing through the in-flight radio channels during my flight from Korea to the States, I was pleasantly surprised. And so, not only have I recognised this beautiful song by name, it has also opened up to me a new doorway, a new path towards appreciating the world of contemporary light music.

To those who have yet to identify the wonderful piece of music playing in the background, it is called "Sundial Dreams" by pianist and composer Kevin Kern.

So here, enjoy the new background music (while it lasts =X)...

Jetlagged, tired, and basically burned out...

>_< I'm tired after travelling for 19 hours on a plane from LAX to KLIA...

More to come of my US trip...hopefully.
