oh the tricks my mind plays on me.

as logical as i usually am, sometimes i just want to whack myself with a stick.

and sometimes, i wonder, why?

seriously.

why do i put myself in such situations…

…on the bright side, i have stop reporting abt completed essays.

yay.

anyhoos, formal last night at homerton was somewhat enjoyable.

was the first time i sat on a bus in cambridge, the first time i’ve been that far south too, for that matter.

here are some random pictures of the night :

post formal footie watching at the homerton bar. mu v barca! 1-0! awesoommmeee =)

…. back to me being ‘emo’

maybe its the stress that is getting to me, the random nonsense i have to read everyday, the insane amt of supervision work that never seems to go away, and the fact that tripos is less than a month…

who knows.

random facts

i was just reading my notes from paper 4 and noted that 4 million tourist come to Cambridge every year.

that’s an average of 10,959 tourist a day!

and now you know why cycling along trinity street and king’s parade is so hard.

also, the population of Cambridge city is only 120,000.

that makes the number of tourist 33 times (or so) more than the actual inhabitants of Cambridge.

and out of that 120,00 already 25,000 are students who are only here for approximately 24 weeks a year.

which explains why during ‘non-term’ time, the city is dead-ed (with the exception of the hoards of tourist of which 10,959 still come each day!)

ok, enough random facts.

this is just way too much excitement for one day.

wait, one last thing which i BET you are all dying to know.

Cambridge used to be called Camboritum/Grantacaester/Grantabrycge/Cantebruge/Caumbrigg/Cambrigge.

and, no there are no typos in the names.

phew.

let me now get back to my uber interesting notes about land, environment and structural change.

the sun is actually hot?

spring has finally hit the uk.

what with all that was going on abt how it snowed in spring, and it being so cold..its now actually warm…

….too warm in fact =(

i have a massive headache and am in a rather foul mood.

grr.

can’t believe i had to go all the way to the department for my 10am supervision. in which my headache got the better of me, and i started stoning.

plus, the sun was shining in my face, and everytime i looked up at my supervisors face, i’d see a blur of light.

serious!

and, in a strange and slightly deranged way, i like it being cold, piling up on the jackets/scarfs/gloves etc.

or, maybe the sun has just fried my brain and i am jst looking for an outlet to procrastinate.

jings says i’m going crazy cos when i read abt the rule of law, and how dicey said that ‘englishmen are ruled by the law, and the law alone’, i went, ‘therefore englishwomen are NOT ruled by the law, thus we women can do whatever we want!’

….thinking back upon that, i do think am slightly losing my mind =/

also, i can’t believe i slept for 10 hrs last night, and now i’m sleepy again.

but, work waits for no woman, hence i shall get back to it.

have another econs essay to write..something abt inflation.

boo =(

go away, you stupid headache.

and (surprise!) another!

hah.

finally completed the essay on sustainable development.

so happy =)

now i can go ’sleep in peace’ without feeling guilty for not being productive.

it seems my blog has turned into an essay completion reporting centre.

i am such a sad person with no life.

and another!

one more essay done!

yays!

i was so happy i stupidly sent my supervisor/DoS an email, without attaching the file.

o_O

now its ‘just’ THAT stats project, and one more essay.

*not to mention many more pieces of econs supervision work that i shall pretend, for now, doesn’t exist*

back to school =(

this feeling in me just sucks.

bah.

My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart

sigh.

awesome song that jings introduced to me.

its not like it means something to me. but the song is just so real.

love those two lines.

=)

and so, i’m still emo-ing.

pray i have fun in lectures tmr,kays?

accounting and economics.

ooh, joy.

jiwang-ness with a capital J

i am seriously so sien. and depressed. and jiwang. for no apparent reason.

ok, maybe there is a correlation between me having loads of work and me getting depressed.

the last time i felt like this was when i had that stupid ‘uber exciting’ retail development project on the Grand Arcade and Christ Lane (which i am still boy cotting. hah! i can still shop at lion’s yard/grafton!)

…saya harap orang yang ber-mark saya punya projek tidak baca ini. nanti saya mati.

i don’t want to do work anymore.

i want to just sleep and sleep and sleep and not have to use my brain for anything.

well, maybe to watch phua chu kang on youtube, but other than that, no.

pre-term blues?

oh, my exam time table is out, exams start for me on the 23rd, with papers on the 26, 27 and last one on the 28.

which means i can actually ‘celebrate’ me turning 20. wooo.

except i won’t have anyone to celebrate it with, since everyone is still having their exams.

well, except us land economist that is.

i seriously need to study for tripos, but keep getting stupid supervision work in my inbox.

ughh.

and there’s still THAT stats project *which i really should have done over the holidays*

sigh.

how to study when i keep having to churn out essays like an essay factory?!?!

joanne says i complain to much.

maybe i do.

and i shouldn’t.

workworkwork.

ok, shall stop procrastinating and will go write that paper 4 essay on smth abt sustainable development.

agn.

ugh.

i want to go shopping.

wait, correction.

i NEED to go shopping, less i drive myself crazy.

ok, i shall reward myself by going shopping once i’ve finished my 2 essays and stats project.

sounds like a good deal.

anyhoos, went out for lunch to celebrate zhongshan’s 21st with the other liars, i mean LAWYERS and nicholas.

i (heart) green curry!

…anyways…

shall post up some random pics.

zhongshan

nicholas

wei yang

and since the photographer, ms yong doesn’t have a ‘personal’ picture, i have to put up the only picture of her, which *coincidentaly* has me in it! =)

okays, now really, back to work.

ahhhhh..

i habis my econs work for thursday!

finally!

since i’m on a roll, its on to my law essay.

and then law supervision work.

i can so do this.

oh yeah.

ooh, and i made chicken rice just now! its was really good considering i just ‘agak-agak’ and dumped things i thought chicken rice was made out of. haha.

jings said it was good too, so i’m not being bias.

back to work!

i swear i will stop watching phua chu kang on youtube.

a little something

got this song from wanlin. learnt it during word alive, and despite it being wayyyy over sang in our caravan (basically, every two seconds, you’ll hear someone go “oh, no you never let go”) i think it is an amazing song which really reminds me everytime i whine abt things, that God is ALWAYS with me.

here are the lyrics :

You Never Let Go by Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know you are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

(Chorus:)
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

love this song. has been playing on itunes over and and over agn. on loop =)

especially the chorus. God will NEVER let go. can never be reiterated too many times, me thinks XD

anyways, has been a busy weekend, what with the picnic and the post grad dinner thing.

but both events were good. the picnic was fun! especially twister.

and thank God for the weather. NO RAIN!

and also for green curry at the post grad cookout.

ooh. just as i was craving green curry =)

pretty sick of making/looking at wantons tho. won’t be eating it for quite awhile. spent 1 and a half hours standing by my rice cooker making them.

tirreddd.

but have been eating way too much today. so bad. i shall ‘detox’ tmr. since i have no food left in my fridge, to the dome and the salad bar it shall be!

and now, here’s to my 5th econs ‘essay’ of the day. gosh, i love my supervisors.

“5. Do not expect to find a good restaurant in a tourist town. Why or why not?”

this is the actual question. seriously.

i should include personal examples and pictures of our paella in barca.

lol.

i’m sure i’ll get a first for that =)

*hyperventilates*

i.can’t.breathe.

term starts thursday, and i am all but ready to begin easter term.

aghhs.

first of all, i’ve barely put a dent in my revision for exams, only finished the work for paper 1, and did a bit for paper 2 (which i barely remember right now)

secondly, i haven’t touced my stats project. or my two ‘holiday’ essays for that matter.

thirdly, i just realised that i have a law sup on this coming friday which i have to prepare for.

fourthly, i have no idea how to do accounts. and i was supposed to work at it OVER THE HOLIDAYS.

and lastly, i just got an email from my econs supervisor with work for 4 sups in the next three weeks, the first one being this thursday, meaning I HAVE TO START WORK.

and this is just for ONE paper.

omg, someone kill me already.

gahh.

i want to cry =(

economics 101

the greek letter T, tau rhymes with “wow”

if we are willing to rule out ‘kinky tastes’, we can forget about the example given in figure 5.2 *

* otherwise this book might get an R rating

i swear, this was what i read in my economics book.

don’t believe me? go look up varian, pg 27 and 190 respectively.

the guy is just hilarious.

and this has been the highlight of my day.

woo!

exciting isn’t it.

i predict that cooping myself up and what with this ‘hard core’ studying, i will go crazy by thursday.

hence i have to go out on thursday.

even be it wondering arnd town by myself.

i think i have reached my limit for today.

i started reading abt the law of demand (which is like the basic-est of the basic) which states that “if a demand for a good increases when income increase, then the demand for that good must decrease when its price increase”.

simple right?

except i kept reading it as “if a demand for a good increases when income increase, then the demand for that good must decrease when its price decrease“.

and i kept thinking to myself, “this doesn’t make any sense! but varian can’t be lying to me!”

10 minutes or so later after re-re-re-re-reading and pondering, i finally read the right thing.

good grief, i am such an idiot.

how the hell am i going to sit for tripos?

anyways, mu went 5 points clear!

woohoo!

i love heskey for that awesome late minute goal!

and also, ronaldo for that superbly taken penalty! twice!

yupss. this awesome ronaldo.

we are so going to win the championship.

oh, yeah.. and before i get more distracted by ronaldo. here are some pics of wales when i went there for word alive!

view from the train

a picture of the caravan that we stayed in. well, this wasn’t the exact one, but it looked exactly the same!

inside the grand marquee where the main talks and celebrations are held.

people in the our caravan

me being emo.

the traditional “after word alive lunch” at gbk

yups, lazy to post more,la.

besides i have to run off to cook.

toodles!
