Hi ppl!

I know... I am back (pun intended).

To those who have been patiently waiting for me to update my blog... gomen! Its just that so many things have been happening, I either had no time or no mood to do so.

But, I have decided to stop putting this off any longer, lest I forget what I want to say. So here's a brief review of my past month (i'll try to keep this SnS - short and sweet):

The reason why you did not hear from me during the whole month of June was because I was preparing for my exams and finishing my assignments. If you know me, obviously studies are really important, now not just for my personal satisfaction but also to justify the amount my parents and of course, my scholarship provider, are spending on me.

Initially i was so worried, as I had less than 2 weeks to revise for my exams as I could not revise while my assignments still lay unfinished. Thank God, I had enough time to go through my notes, and still watch some shows (the more i study, the more down time i need). In fact, on the first day of exam, which was in the evening, I was glad the exams were finally starting! I am not an exam-fanatic, but it was just that I was reading the same thing over and over again, I couldn't wait for the exams to just start! Also, for the exams to end, they have to start first right?

This reminds me of an incident where a pastor once asked his church, "Who wants to go to heaven?" Obviously everyone raised their hand. Then he asked, " Who wants to die?" This time not a soul put up their hand. The pastor then said, "How do you expect to go to heaven without dying?"

Exams were over in a flash. 3 at once. It was ok I guess. I rather that than prolonged agony. Had a nice long talk with WQ before she left, and forbidding my Singaporean friends to talk about food as I thought I will not stepping unto Singapore shores until 6 months later. Was complaining of not knowing how to spend my 1 month of holidays. Little did I know I would be flying back in a week after my exams.

Received the news after I came back from Aquatic Centre with Tree. Sounds exciting right? It's actually just a swimming complex full of old uncles. Anyway, I called my mum immediately upon reading the email, and she said if I could catch a flight back, good, else it was ok, since my grandfather has already passed away. There was nothing much I could do even if I went back. However I knew my father would probably want me around. So I prayed and told God that if He wanted me to go back, He will provide a seat, since I knew it would be difficult getting a seat back so last minute.

So I called, and yup, a seat on Sat was waiting for me. However, as I do not deal well with last minute decisions, I was really stressed out, so much so that my face broke out. It was so obvious, almost all my relatives took notice of it, even when they were mourning. Lol. But its better now. Weird, I thought it would be worse in the hot and humid weather.

Anyway, now I am fretting over my flight back. I had no idea why Adelaide has suddenly become a hot study spot. Most of the flights are fully booked and I think its ridiculous having to change my flight from Adelaide to Melbourne on the way back and paying an extra $300 for it. I mean if I choose the return flight, via Melbourne, if I do not take the flight from Adelaide, my return ticket is cancelled. !^*&($%)!@

Sigh...
