A Gigantic Relief

At long last, finals are over. Praise all that is good and holy in this world :)


Not that today's paper went well or anything. I barely understood any of the questions. And apparently it's not just because I'm dumb. I have proof too. For example, in Financial Economics we learn about this thing called delta hedging. Which I'm pretty familiar with and all, no thanks to the lecturer (thank goodness for the study manual, that thing saved my life). So imagine my surprise when I saw the paper today that was telling me to find the delta gamma hedging. Where the hell did the gamma come from? :s


When I walked out of the hall the first person I saw was Aaron and he didn't get the delta gamma thing either. Neither did Meena or Priya or Beh Jian Fung or Christina. Damn.


Oh well, I'm just relieved that it's over. Now I'm feeling all relaxed and awesome while Shu, the poor thing, still has 2 papers to go and is walking around my house hungry and stressed. I feel like laughing when I see her walk around my house and help herself to bread and peanut butter and make herself a cup of Milo. My house has pretty much officially become her house :p


Anyway Larry and I went to watch Johnny English today. It was pretty okay, but I still like the first one better. Then we went to have a celebratory dinner at Fridays at Wangsa Walk. The waiters and waitresses there are so nice and pleasant; made me feel so nice. It's so rare to see waiters and waitresses who genuinely smile at you when you order, who say 'You're welcome' when I say thank you, who come and ask me if I want more warm water without me needing to stand on my chair and wave both hands to get my attention. I'm definitely recommending the Wangsa Walk branch of TGI Fridays to everyone I know :D


Anyway, that being said I'm off to begin enjoying my sem break which has finally come :) Oh and I'll blog about something more interesting soon, I promise.

A Mindless Rambling-On

As the title of this post so clearly states, this post has not been thought out or planned. I just really wanted to blog today so this post will probably consist of a lot of nonsensical rambling, being typed out at a time when I really should be studying for the last 2 papers of my finals next week.

Yes, finals. That's why I haven't been blogging at all. I've just been doing a lot of nonsense when I'm supposed to be studying. UTAR made a grievous error in giving us the Raya week off as an extension of our study break. Why, you ask? Well, mom and dad were on holiday in Sri Lanka for an entire week. Needless to say, 'rebellious' child that I am, I was honour bound to party all week instead of study lol.

Unnecessary temptation not to study aside, I've been watching a lot of 'Whose Line is it Anyway' lately? I guess its sort of a de-stresser when Larry, Shu and I are studying. Okay fine maybe it's a de-stresser for them cause I sure as hell haven't been studying so hard that I need to be de-stressed :p Okay here come the videos.

My absolute favourite game they play on Whose Line is called 'Sound Effects'. Here, take a look; this has got to be one of my favourites.


Isn't it funny? The way they change the scene and make fun of themselves... And the way Colin's always the woman for some reason lol.

Then there's another game called 'Quick Change' that's also incredibly hilarious..


Oh my goodness, when Colin did that whole "We want to make millions" so slowly cause he didn't know what to say.... And the part about being a giraffe choreographer LOL. What normal person comes up with this stuff? :D

Oh but the video that makes me laugh til I cry every single time I watch it has to be this video of a game called 'Sit, Stand and Bend'. This is the most hilarious shit I've seen :)


Oh. My. God. I'm crying again lol.

Okay here's the last game I promise (for this post). See they have this game called the 'Irish Drinking Song' that usually goes something like this.


Buuuuut, there was just this once that it went a little out of control. The result? I cried again lol.


Oh goodness gracious. Ryan's face when he was singing gibberish....then Colin with his "Meowwww". LMFAO

Okay, I think I've had enough of laughing for the week lol.

So what else have I been up to? Well nothing much to be honest. Oh but I do have an update about a certain someone I haven't written about in quite some time. You see, there was a certain Mr. JC Chasez in a documentary recently about 9/11 called 'When Pop Culture Saved America'. Before this video on Youtube came to my knowledge, I suppose I had a certain hope that one day I would finally get over JC, stop stalking him from a distance and become, well a normal person :s It was looking hopeful too. I had stopped watching his videos for a while...okay fine I didn't stop but I did slow down a lot...okay I slowed down a little...okay FINE you got me I hadn't slowed down at all. What was my point again?

Oh right, becoming a normal person. So yes, the hope was there. Distant and very dim but at least the hope was there. And then I just had to watch this video la.


Why?
Why?
Why?

WHY JC Chasez, do you have to be so thoughtful?? And sweet?? And funny and adorable and HOT?? WHY????

I'm never getting over JC Chasez. I am doomed to forever stalk him and fall even more madly in love with him and never be a normal person.

What an uplifting thought :s

Oh well, why fight it? Speaking of JC, something very weird is happening to my friends. I think they've been spending too much time around me and my JC madness. First Larry says that JC is, and I quote, "awesome". Then Joanna agrees with me that he's cute, only she's not crazy about him like I am. But the worst shocker of them all - I was talking to Shu before our Loss Models paper on Monday and you know what she said. I was rambling on about how awesome JC is and suddenly, unbidden, SHU (who always hated JC for no apparent reason) said "Yeah, he's hot." I almost dropped dead.

After a while when I had recovered from the shock somewhat, I was talking to her about how perfect he was (Jeez I really talk about JC too much, and before Loss Models final summore, as if I was so prepared for the paper) and she actually agreed with me!! She caught herself though and instead of saying 'Yeah' it came out as a sort of "Yeaowwww". Lol just the entertainment I needed before Loss Models.

Oh on a non-JC-related issue, the fourth and final book of the Inheritance cycle will finally be released in November!! That is, it's being released in the US and the UK in November. Who knows how long it'll take to reach Malaysia :s

And what is the Inheritance cycle, you ask? Well, remember that god awful movie 'Eragon' that came out a couple of years ago?


Ringing any bells? Well Eragon is the first book of the Inheritance cycle, followed by Eldest, then Brisingr. The fourth, called Inheritance (aptly named), as mentioned earlier will finally be out in November after a long, long three year wait. I actually wondered if the author had given up on the series lol. Anyway, although the movie was rubbish the books really are quite interesting. Sadly, that's usually the case.

I suppose that's all I wanted to blog about. Either that or I'm just really tired. I really should study tomorrow. Anyway cheerio, all.

A Heartfelt, Post Traumatic Thank You

About five months ago, this album called Post Traumatic was released. Three months ago, I went to Bangkok to watch Mike Shinoda perform...
