grr... i'm turning into a tv addict. at the most inappropriate time too. i dont' understand tv stations, they seem to love releasing nice shows around the tiem of exams don't they. they must be involved in some conspiracy with the examiners so that the weaker and more easily distarcted students will be sifted out nice and early..
ha. that's one far-fetched theory.
anyways, i'm currently so hooked on tv. and mind you, tv. not like vcds or something. i'm diligently following the tv guide and watching goodness knows how many shows. there's Jewel in the Palace, and Stairway to Heaven. and then now that War and Beauty show is really amazing. never knew people be quite so evil and suspicious of one another, not to mention being able to think so badly of each other. but it's quite fascinating coz you never know when someone's gonna show his/her true colours. and tonight there's Full House. i'm turning into such a sucker for Korean drama.
and Survivor: Guatemala has started. i really like that show. first watched it during the Thailand or Amazon season(whichever came first).
some food for thought. long relationships were never counted in the first place. assuming all relationships encompasses every sort of interaction. between humans, between objects, between animals etc. like having a relationship with say, your pillow. it's all these relationships which last so much longer and yet we choose to overlook all these and concentrate on say friendships and boy-girl-relationships. and sometimes we forget about family too.
i never really bothered about counting the duration of the relationship with my bolster for example. or say with my favourite softtoy. or even the plant at the window. i mean, so long as that 'whatever' has some sentimental value attached, i suppose that they can be part of a relationship right?
and don't ya think if one continually questions the future of a relationship, then it's gonna end so much sooner. the fact that there was a need to count the days and minutes and seconds really reflects the insecurity behind it all.
and now now, all these thought whilst studying bio. how perfect.
cheerio now. gotta head to my granny's place.

again i'm speechless. there's just nothing i want to say about the prelims. even with all the possible permutations of words, it'll convey the same meaning. bad job.
of which today's bio was the worst. seems to me that every paper is trying to out-compete its predecessor in terms of difficulty and puke-worthiness. can't blame anyone else but me, the bio paper was really poorly prepared for. and considering hwachong papers were meant to be killers..
seems to me that stress is getting to me in all manner of unproductivity. the absolute worst has got to be headaches during the paper. such an irony that exams are a test of one's knowledge. everytime i summom my sad and fast-perishing brain cells, they seem to retaliate by forming chains and wringing themselves in my skull. not a nice thought.
i'm so thankful that only the GP examiners are picky about handwriting. the teacher marking the genetics question is gonna have a fit. it looked so much more like bird's claws squiggling on paper.
oh and check this: the question asked how was one to identify the genotype of a fly or whatever and my tired brain automatically wrote down,
pick up the fly and check its sexual organs and you can guess it's sex. then look at the eyes and determine the gene for bar-eyedness.
holy cow. what did i write? PICK UP THE FLY AND LOOK AT ITS SEXUAL ORGANS! i think mrs foo would have laughed her jaws off or something. and expel me from the S7 on top of that.
thankfully i realised that i had written rubbish and wrote some other kind of gibberish instead. some of my bio answers and proving to be absolutely ridiculous. i pray and hope the option paper and the chem structured will be better attempted. the thought of returning to 3 Os just doens't seem very nice.
when you've started on rice, the though of gruel just ain't pleasing.
