I love Exams.
Exams. The most well-spent 2 hours. The only time i can truly said I've put in great effort into a gruelling 2 hours of intense mental thought processing.
Love the brie toast thingy at black sheep cafe at Mayo Road.
Love Mr Smith from Ice Cream Chefs.
Love Vamilla & Rum Raisin at Udders at Goldhill Plaza.
Love the Sticky Date Pudding at Brownsugar cafe at Institution Hill.
Love trying new food especially after a day of mugging.
Hate the lighter wallet.
Still mugging, keep mugging, gotta love mugging.
Mugging gives me HOPE! :)

Another futile day
I don't think i can ever be contented. Not with love, with family, with friends, with work, with play nor with myself. Sadly. I can attempt to change that mindset but it's always temporary. Some things never change, most others do. I can be very happy when i'm in it but when i'm not, when i have time to sit down, to wonder and ponder and chew on it, yes i'm not really happy enough.
What's enough?
This brings me back to the point that there's really no real definition for everything in the world. If you really think about it, everything is subjective and relative to you and your world. What the oxford dictionary or the longman dictionary can do is to give you a benchmark, a vague concept, a narrow frog-in-the-well view of everything. Happiness can only be decided by you. Sadly. I don't think i will ever find happiness and i think the happiest people on earth are those who are most ignorant. Comforting to know that someone else, probably the first person on your address book, the person sitting opposite you in class or your best friend, they're not happy. They may be happy to you but they have their own troubles to pack in their old gym bag. They may be happy by their definitions but not to yours, mine or maybe the girl you met on the train today.
On the other hand, we can be relatively happy. Happy enough to want to live each day, breathing, striving, working, thinking, talking, just hoping that the next day brings a brighter and happier future. For most, money seems to bring on the materialistic smiles but i know a little secret. They cannot be happy either. How can they? All they can be is to be relatively happy. Happy in terms of not having to worry about money but what about their family members, their health, their friends and what-nots?
Well, i am kinda happy with my life now. Not contented kinda happy or in pure perfect utopian kinda bliss but the "thank God things weren't worse" kinda happiness. To me, there's no sweeter day than a day gone by and everyone around me, including me, are still alive. Ironically, i am happy now because i've already know i won't ever be happy enough.

I love doing things for you
I love clothes. I don't have enough bodies to wear all of the clothes i've put my heart in, set my eyes on nor feel the touch of but i love clothes. I love to parade in them, shop for them, look at them and i even draw my own collection. I've even contemplated on joining a dress making class just to satisfy my own creative juices. Well i didnt but i might. This can join in the long list of things i want to learn like horse riding, golfing, wakeboarding, etc.
I love planning events for people. I love having a group of people coming for parties, mingling, eating, making merry and drinking loads of booze. It's so happy to see many smiling faces interacting like some science fizzy experiment where X + Y = XY and X + X = XX and stuff like that. Of course i'm not advocating pre-marital sex but we need more babies everyone! And after age of 25, a woman's fertility just goes down hill. Touche!
Those who know me well should know i make the weirdest linkages between thoughts sometimes and these 2 hobbies of mine just signals to me how much i do love to make good changes to people's lives no matter how small they are. I do relish the thought of seeing others don on my clothes or enjoyed my parties or simply happy for the thing i do and the way i am.
Oh my, changes are the constant of this universe. It's so scary yet so intriguing sometimes.
Meanwhile, my essay sucked. How horrid. Couldnt even really enjoy myself last night. Can't wait for bothersome exams to be over so that i can know that i'm alright and over the hurdle already. Just 5 more exams to the end of academia...for now.
God bless our minds, bodies and soul. Amen! xoxo

Random randoms.
- I'm in one of the photos for F1 parties in the november issue of Torque. No biggie when some other girls frm my school is on tv and magazines but i find it amusing. I'm no big beauty so it's memorable for me. Ha!
- It feels like holiday to me now although my exams are really just a week away. Not to mention the hair cut and mani/pedi appt i have tomorrow in town.
- Sometimes i feel that i just have no knack in certain stuff, and most of the time i feel that it happens to most of the stuff i'm dabbling with. Damn.
- I hate it when it comes to revision and you know something but not the full picture of it and you can't seem to find it on the pages of your textbook so that you can be assured that what you sorta know vaguely is accurate. Frustrating, really.
- I wanna go prawning! Woohoo! And i wanna lose weight.

Till death do us part.
With 2 friends getting officially married to one another under the well wishes of family and friends, I am so addicted to wedding planning the whole day. Not forgetting mich's contribution - her 2 thick wedding magazines. They're the way i like magazines to be - photos, photos and more photos. :)) I would like to your wedding planner. :)
I would love to design my own wedding dresses. :))
I would have them simple yet elegant.
Now i just have to find someone I love and is willing to marry me.

So much angst.
Choices. I've written a post on this long time ago and until today, I still hate choices and crossroads and stuff like that.
Angsty today. Recalled all the bad bad stuff and all that pent up stuff = mega big blowup. Got reminded of my evolutionary psychology on Aggression.
Aggression is an evolved psychological mechanism where men tend to aggress physically and women aggress verbally. Since i'm a girl, i'm gonna talk about why it's a natural tendency for women to gossip more than men.
Evolutionarily speaking...
- Based on the theory of parental investment, women are needed to provide care for children thus they cannot risk to be injured seriously or even die from physical attacks.
- Women like to derogate other women in terms of physical appearances and sexual conduct. Weird as it may sound but it functions to improve one's standing as a choice for mating because physical appearance of a woman has always been a cue for health and fertility since ancestral times and this scale of attractiveness is absolutely subjective and relative (so don't worry) and that paternity certainty has always been a concern for men since they can never be sure a child is theirs until a DNA test is conducted and men would never really want to invest in a child who is not genetically his.
I know some of you are protesting already.
"But we don't gossip!"
"We are just telling the truth about the really ugly/slutty/fat girls."
"We're just exchanging information!"
However, lemme remind you that evolved psychological mechanisms are not decisions made by "free will". All cognitive progs are often mistake for “homunculi” which are entities endowed with “free will” when in fact they are just like computer programmes written to behave in a certain way given a certain input. So these protests that you have are the proximate causes for your behaviour. Although you think you never meant to derogate others intentionally just to improve one's standing, it is just the distal cause of your gossiping/comments/exchanging information.
Indeed, these evolutionary theories just leave you with the scary thought that men are pre-programmed and selected for by natural selection in the environment of evolved adaptedness.
Sigh. Feel alil' better now. Back to work. Hoped, hopes, hoping! :))

The weekend
Sangeeta's Deepavali.
My stuff from Paris. (no it's not a 2.55)
Ought to have studied over the weekend because next week is the week full of tests which can be considered as exams. However despite the dreary news, it also means a month more to the holidays.
Holidays = trainings + thesis + holiday!!!
Still deciding on where to seek temporary solace?
Killer set of notes to complete. I need some loving. Let's live on hope. :))
