甘すぎるのものが嫌い！
あますぎるのものがきらい！
Amasugiru no mono ga kirai!
(I) don't like things that are too sweet!

Because I was tweeting the other night about lime juice being my new favourite drink and lovryu asked me to try peach juice but I find it too sweet. Bah.

So my mad trimester ended last Friday, which was also the end of my second year in uni (wow that's fast. I didn't even notice). It's what, almost the end of the month now? But I've been getting unexpected requests to work because there are people who suddenly couldn't make it and stuff, so I guess I will still be able to earn my usual monthly pay in the days between these two weekends even though I haven't been working for more than four weeks. Woots! (I hope I didn't just jinx myself for the following months...)

Anyway, I've been trying to slowly get through the metaphorical pile of photos I was going to edit for posting here and after a couple of days of mass-photoshoppage, I finally got through 95% of them this morning before work. Phew!

(Click on the image to view full size.
It's still a little blur, though.
I was trying to take the photo inconspicuously under the desk. HAHA.)

At the end of every trimester, we have to do a survey for all our modules and our lecturers, and that *points up* was for the Public Affairs and Communication module, for which we had a really assholey lecturer who thinks the world - nay - universe, of himself and tries to play mind games with us all the time by using his "minor in psychology". Pfft. Sorry, mister, but I could tell every since time what you were doing. Guilt-tripping, innuendos, hidden meaning, snark, careful sarcasm... Kinda familiar? Sounds exactly like my dysfunctional parents. So. Too bad. Your tricks don't work on me.

(Am not typing out my full survey comment because he will screw me up for the rest of my life if he ever finds that I wrote all that, and that I was the first person in the whole course who really made a serious verbal complain. Because he's psychotic that way.)

End of trimester, crazy assignment period and my two exams, means a very messy table that I do not have the mood for tidying up. Meh.

My books and notes always pile up on the right of my desk. Heh.

My pile of Torchwood novels (which I haven't read),
Kate Mosse's Labyrinth (which I haven't finish),
Consumer Behaviour lecture notes,
Discovery Channel Magazine (which I haven't finish since April)
and loads of notes and brochures for museum exhibitions
that I should have cleared out long ago.

Here's my current organiser, used from my old secondary school exercise book.
(I do have a proper organiser, which is quite pretty actually,
but I want to finish up my old stuff first. Save the Earth, yeah?)

My trimester schedule and the full list of hiragana and katakana that I never really look at.

Week One.
Pretty full for the first week.

Doesn't it make me look hardworking? XD

Weeks Two and Three.

A quote to encourage myself.

Results for the trimester before this.
Two distinctions and one credit. Whee~
(Although I doubt I'll get any distinctions this trimester. Meh.)

Weeks Four and Five.
Starting to get empty. Ugh.

Trying to get myself to sleep early.
And I recorded it, because I'm easily amused like that.

Weeks Six and Seven.

It got so empty that I was desperate to make it look "fuller".
Hence the huge phrase in Mandarin
(which means somewhat like cheering someone - or in this case, me - on).

Weeks Eight and Nine.

Starting to fill up again.

Weeks Ten and Eleven.

Yes, I was strangely psyched about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,
considering how much I hated Prisoner of Azkaban,
was 'Meh' about Goblet of Fire
and never got to watch Order of the Phoenix.

Weeks Twelve and Thirteen.

I was MADLY obsessed with Torchwood series 3,
but I stupidly took down the date for the US telecast instead of the UK date,
which was, what? One or two weeks earlier?
*FACEPALM*
And I still haven't got the time to watch it yet. WTH, Self?

Weeks Fourteen and Fifteen.
Getting emptier, because it's all just assignment deadlines left.

Planning for Jayasri's belated 20^th birthday celebration.
We had Popeye's for lunch and went on the Singapore Flyer
even though I've always said it was a tourist trap.
(Which reminds me, I still have photographs to edit. I keep missing them out. Sheesh.)

An attempt to spur myself on for the remaining two weeks of trimester.

Week Sixteen and trimester break week.
End of crazy trimester = MAJOR YAY-NESS!

Trying to organise my life on paper, and failing terribly in reality.
Didn't do any of those on the days I wanted to. Ugh.

A very long list of things to do during my too-short break.
Didn't get to do anything more than what was crossed out
because I was working practically every day since last Saturday.

I've bought new contacts after my last exam because I ran out of them.
Had a check-up at the same time and my short-sightedness went up like WHOA, especially my right eye. I blame it on the late nights of rushing through assignments when we were staying up until 5a.m. and sleeping for only an hour before getting up for classes.
(I'm half terrified of my eyesight getting worse, and half overjoyed at being able to see clearly now the rain has gone~ I can see all obstacles - ahem.
I mean uh, yeah, yes. New pair is very clear.)
 

More updates to catch up with next time because it's almost 11p.m. now, I need my shower, and then a good night's sleep for my hectic weekend work shift tomorrow.

Ugh, I left my handphone at the workplace today. I got back from work and changed out of my jeans before realising it and the first thing I thought of was to text my work-friend with my phone to tell her that I've forgotten to bring my phone home so don't call or text me. Like, WHAT? *FACEPALM* OMG, I am so EPIC FAIL.

Also, some people have apparently misunderstood, or never learned, what blogging is. Perhaps it was me who had interpreted it differently? Wrongly? Meh. I know I didn't, thank you very much.

This brings back some fond memories of my crazy uni time. LOL.... I'll never know how we got it all done. But seriously, there's such a deep feeling of "satisfaction" once you're at the end of another semester and you just have "survived" the madness with your sanity intact (more less ;)

I also had to laugh about peeps demanding regular/daily updateso on a blog. This is so NOT what this is all about! I found myself neglecting lj in favor of my other blog (which - as a new toy - seems more interesting to me :)
"
The emphasize is on "ME". With all the stuff I feel "worth" posting and my random thoughts on this and that, I claim the right to be "always wrong" LOL... This is for my own joy and if people don't get that, well... you know what they can do ;)

Take care and have a great Sunday, Hun!

Hugs,
C.

At the end of every trimester I just think, Wow, how in the world did I survive that?! It just felt so impossible when you're in the midst of it that it felt surreal when you're finally done with it. And yes, that feeling of satisfaction. And relief that I can finally get more than 3-4 hours of sleep XD

And how in the world did you know what I meant at the end? You're amazing :O And I totally agree with you. That's what it should be, you know, in essence, but people just forget that because like everything else in life it starts to become some form or entertainment-on-demand for someone on the outside. But that's not what it is at all! D:

BTW, I'm totally loving the pics on architecture you have on your other blog. Perhaps I can try if Sims let me build something like those next time. Hmmm...

School is starting tomorrow! D: But I don't have classes so I can have some rest after 4 consecutive days of "work-rush-periods and mad customers who think we're there for them to relieve their stress and anger on".

Hope you had a great weekend! And here's to (hopefully *crosses fingers*) a good week ahead :)
