i am So Exhausted.

For some strange reason i'm always exhausted after an exam. It can't be the lack of sleep, since by normal standards, 4 hours a night is usually enough... It can't be the mental processing (very the lack thereof), so goodness knows why.

goodness cares also.

Over! its Over! totally finished no more Over!

*sag in chair*

ahhhhhhhh......

I went shopping today. Shopping is always a good idea. And its healthy for the economy, although the various definitions of economy come into conflict here. ~$~

Surprisingly enough, i didn't blow my entire november allowance, but i'm still completely satisfied. know why? I bought the latest Beck album!!!!  Mutations (!) Totally blissed out, put on those headphones and flopped on the bed. i could have stayed there all night but i got hungry and then i thought i'd better write another one of these update things.

So hellowww... we meet again. yeaahahahahah.

Ay. i have nothing to say lah.

I can rant and rave about Mutations the album, but i was planning to do that on my long-ignored Beck Page, so...   oh to hell with it.
 

Or at least have a listen.
And then go buy it.

visit www.beck-web.com to listen to realaudio versions of all the tracks. They're all fabulous, every note so perfect i wonder how he does it.

ah, i think i'll link some tracks:

O Maria -- lovely
Nobody's Fault But My Own -- one of his prettier songs
Diamond Bollocks  -- i love this one. so warped.
Tropicalia -- funky bossa-nova
Dead Melodies -- hardly.
We Live Again -- reminiscent of the beatles, but totally beck.
Cold Brains -- brilliant. (so its an aimlessly adulating description. listen to it anyway.)
 

Okay. i feel so empty now. nuthin to saaayyy... nuthin to saaayyy...

Shall i tell you how my exams went? heheh. lemme think. Hrm. oh dear. sigh. better not.

The psychology paper today was interesting though, 3 hours for a 150 MCQ question paper. It might sound easy (so i thought), but i tell you, MCQ is Sneaky. Purposely try to trick you even if you know the right answer. This is why i prefer short-answer questions since you can just regurgitate everything u remember that's remotely related and hope they see the marks somewhere in the mess. Essays are too long and tend to go awry when you have nothing to write, with no idea whatsoever what they're asking. Case in point would be my entire philosophy paper. Big pile of bulls**t that was. the flies were gathering.

I'm not going to do very well for this series of exams, but it doesn't really matter. i just need to get Credits (65-75%) to do well enough. Distinctions and High Distinctions are for the exceptional people who actually study. People with no life. nyeah nyeah.

But yeah. sometimes you have to study. Like for the Os.. and then the As (which i totally skipped!)... And you know what, i'm fine with that. I study so seldom i actually find it interesting when i do. Also, i like these external examinations, since teachers (who know what an incredibly bad student completely undeserving of good grades you are) won't be marking your work! I am convinced this is the only reason i got all those As in the Os. By all those As, i won't say how many, this way you'll think i did really well.

Of course if i'd stayed in JC, i probably would've gotten as many Os in the As.

Anyway, here in Australia, the Year 12 (J2, pre-uni, u get the idea) kids have just finished their HSC, which is the A level equivalent, and there's this really interesting event going on now in Surfers Paradise. Its called Schoolies Week, but lasts for a month. Schoolies refer to the post-exam students, and every year, thousands of these schoolies arrive on the Gold Coast, and celebrate the end of school with dancing, drugs and debauchery. Fun or wot? It's an annual event. Apparently the kids (hah, im calling them kids, they're my age) spend the nights just cruising this street (Cavill Avenue), walking up and down getting sloshed and pulling out all the sexual magnets. This year, the police provided bath tubs along the avenue for people to throw up in. And what do post-As singaporean students do? catch a movie? get drunk one night and hangover the next day and then go out to catch a movie. OH maaannn, do we need lives or what. Even if getting drunk and laid in a gorgeous beachy touristy-setting with thousands of fellow minded revellers isn't your prudish cup of tea, its the Freedom that's so enticing. Imagine the singaporean govt letting a throng of partying J2s take over one street every year for sex drugs and techno. The foam parties fiasco was funny enough.

It took me a year and a half, but now im finding myself comparing sydney favourably to singapore. I know i like living here, i find i'm not wanting to leave, and even the homesickness is fighting a losing battle with my immune system. However, i'm not going to migrate here. not yet, its not home. Its nice to come here and live for a few years (and really live at that), and then go home.

But someone has to take over RCS by the time i get back or i'm going to sabotage their stations, specifically Perfect Ten. I haven't been listening in a few months but i hazard a guess and accuse them of not knowing how to play good music instead of cheap crass polyester pop. I'd also like to be a radio dj, if only for the sole purpose of doing a 'say it with music' segment, and dissing all the idiots who write in. Idiots. Totally. How can there be so many idiots in singapore.

Can you tell, idiots really annoy me.

Of course it's all relative. To me someone might be an insufferable idiot, and to someone else, im an idiot. Relative like intelligence. I'm more intelligent than some people, infinitely more intelligent than my mouse (Hey. I resent that.) (You shuddup and give me back my keyboard), and stupid in comparison to those overachieving smartypants, many of whom i actually know, which also sucks.

Everything sucks.

Incredibly Bad Original Joke of the Day:

Ah Beng, trying to be bombastic : Hey baby, you want to see my fallacy symbol?
Female : fallacy? you mean phallic don't you.
Ah Beng : Harh? you want to lick my fallacy symbol is it?
Female : oh gross. Suyin you've gone too far.

Hahahahahah. I'm sorry.

Really.

Naah.

The phrase 'double entendres' always makes me think of double-edged swords.
Both have odd pronunciations too. On-tons. Sords.

hurhur.

I'd better end off now. Go listen to the realaudio links up there ^ . If there's severe net congestion, then nevermind, go listen to it at HMV.  :)

Take care with your life, and thank you for reading. Stay cool and funky!
