Lost In Beauty-
Saturday
Bear with me, this post might be a random one.
100 MCQs, 2 hours. The lecturer didn't even tell us the number of questions, the format of the exam(although it's quite obvious) and the duration of the exam. Ok, I shan't complain much of the 100MCQs since JM had a 200MCQs GEM paper earlier(how disgusting is that?). It wasn't the long and tough questions per se, it was the boredom and diminishing drive of continuing the MCQs even before reaching question 50. To irk me further, I had my strong distaste from surfeit with some "peculiar" habits of our fellow students. First, there's this lady sitting to the right, displaying her bare foot right in my direction. As if that wasn't enough, another guy to the diagonal left in front of me kept shaking his feet and legs intensely, like he was having an epileptic seizure. Not that I wanna be mean, I usually don't mind(unless it's somebody I know, hee) but his rubber slippers seemed to be given out an irritating squirks like it's been previously immesed in water. Plus the speed and intensity of the shaking, the amount of fat cells burnt should be equivalent to at least a 2.4km run calorie burn since he's been "working out" vigorously for the full 2 hrs in the exam hall. But anyway, it's over!
Although the holiday does appeal to me, I kinda feel that the end of exam is more of a reprieve than a relief to me. I simply detest the draggy exam period but the end of this exam(most probably) will mark another stage of my life; In other words, I have to be on the lookout now. I am kinda excited about it, I wanna embrace my new life, yet the thought of it somehow perplexed me.
On a brighter note, many many activites coming up next. I might not have the time to come online and the revamp of my blog will have to drag since I'll not be home most of the time.
I love to indulge in the hot hot steam bath after my workout everytime and that's only possible if I go to a gym. I've been jogging and swimming but no gym-ing. I finally went back to Hyatt gym yesterday but it's closing for a renovation soon. Dear and me was still wondering if we'll see Dick Lee again. Haa. And I casually joked about GI and "sense of identity and place" and of course, all from Kong (1996) article doing a cultural investigation on Dick Lee's transcultural music. Ok, no more geography.
Supper with the gang at night. The guys were talking about their future, study and trip while XiaoJing and me were detached and totally engrossed in our own world, engaged in our girly stuffs. Girls are girls, we yak and yak on for hours, occasionally tuned in to what the guys were talking about. The topic of their future, study and exam drifted off to an island getaway plan. Beach beach! Somehow, (although I shun away from the sun but I love it) I've been thinking of bikini, the warm sun, the soft sand and the clear sea recently. That would be nice, I thought.
Wei and me discuessed about the Taiwan trip and came to a final conclusion -- Taiwan trip was cancelled. I thought it was a good deal for a peak travel period like June but there's a better package in July and she prolly will be going with her friends.
Anyway, I'll be working next Wed till Fri. The JJ's mother has this event -- the Merill Lynch International Bank Conference at Ritz Carlton. So cool! Thanks guys!
XuanPing is getting married!! And suddenly my holiday is exploited by her (she used "exploited" herself, not me) cos I'll be her bridesmaid! I'm thrilled at the idea of my first bridesmaid's experience and to be exposed to firsthand experience of a wedding preparation. She said she'll be exploiting me starting from this month onwards. Ok, fair, since she gave me the liberty to choose the colour of my dress/gown. But I rejected the idea since it's her wedding and my gown should, instead, fit into her theme. However, I'm still confused by the different kind of bridesmaids -- she had 2 or 3 and I'm unsure which role I played. She did explain to me the different types but I still don't get it. Anyway, she said,"Not much difference, same work responsibilities". Haha, ok, fair enough.
Before I forgot, CONGRATS my Dear!!! You actually passed through the 15 rounds of interview! A tough competition indeed. Work hard! I'll be supporting you allll the way, with lotsa lovessss!! For now, just wait for the HK Human Resource to contact you again. I'm so proud of you. All the best!!!
Oops. Okies, I'm running late, better be off for now. Update again!
