dear blogspot, i have a very lame sister.
i just came home today and my deareat sister living under the same roof as me starts communicating with me through u. i think she is nuts. pls make her better soon. thank you.

besides weiling during the exam stress period, i seriously doubt there exists another girl with a huger appetite than me.
i had nasi lemak plus an extra egg for breakfats at 830am and now i'm eating katsu don.
and while stufifng myself with rice, i am fantasizing abt subway after my paper at 3pm.

a perfect morning gloomy weather to match the looming doom.
finance paper in 3hrs and i'm now gg thru tut 2.
i know i'm screwed.
but i just want to get it over and done with.

to look on de bright side, i declare my own freedom after tml's MA.
den its time to start packing.
i miss home.

this is funny.
i just completed the student feedback exercise.
and i had to bullshit abt this lecturer coz i have not seen him before.
haha.
honestly, i should start watching his webcasts since that module's exam is in 1 week's time.

anyway, the feedback exercise made me realise that i got lucky with my tutors this sem.
despite not taking to my finance tutor at all during the first lesson, he turned out to be real nice and i find him very sincere in teaching if u ignore the long-windedness.
and that was why i had a deal of gd comments for him :)

since i have such wonderful tutors this sem, i shld work hard.
so gd night world!
kj starts mugging tml!

ok, so i woke up not feeling too well on friday afternoon.
i guess thats my excuse for not touching books till now.
i shall start mugging tml.
and i really hope i have time.

gosh.
here i am in biz library attempting to do my work but i am soo sleepy.
must be the heavy lunch.

anyway, i totally agree with the statement "nothing is perfect".
i think it applies to my beloved biz lib as well.
their coms on lvl 1 have no microsoft word or pwrpt!
and the pathetic 6 coms on lvl 2 is forever occupied.
if they have $$$ to build a new building plus pay noisy dragon dancers to perform, why are they depriving us of such small privileges?!
sigh, i guess this calls for more feedback ya, pf. haha.

now i cant conc. on my tut and i cant work on my proj too.
i think my grp mates are gg to kill me.
but i dun care =)

oh, i have to say this!
i came back to a very pleasant surprise last night, courtesy of my neighbors.
thanks clarice, for mopping my floor twice.
thanks jo, for putting my bedsheet.
i dont even know how u guys know i left my matric card.
mushy as it may be, i love u alL!
haha.

anyway, i duno if i am paranoid or wad.
i couldnt sleep last night depsite going to bed at a late 330am.
and having instant noodles just before that.
friday's scene kept haunting me.
and i remember many pple's comments abt my room fan sounding so scary.
and i got up and investigate a small noise which turned out to be my fridge.
then i contemplated if i should lock my door lest anything happens and no one can come in and save me.
and then i wonder wad jo would say if i knock on her door and ask to sleep in her room.
wow, kj has a great imagination.

on thurs, me, rachel and clarice shared a pack of Ruffles and tomato twisties.
today, me, kk and kt shared another pack of ruffles and bbq twisties.

1 bag of Ruffles: 7 servings
1 bag of Twisties: 3 servings

in addition, today i had dinner at about 730pm.
at 11pm, kt came back with 2 pratas for me.
after that it was snacks and sweets.
now, at 230am, i just ate a pack of instant noodles.

mummy is so cute la.
after tiantian open and ate a pack of instant noodles and left the remaining 4 on the table last night,she went and hid it.
and when me and kaikai opened a new pack today fo lunch, she hid the remaining 3 again.
too bad i found out her hiding place just now.
she is going to be so disappointed tml morning.

btw, this mee goreng my dad got is damn nice so me and my sis are gg to steal some back to hall. :)

food aside, the exams are really near now.
i have concluded that the most conducive place for me to study is biz lib.
last night i came home and went to bed at abt 2am without doing any work.
today i woke up at 430pm and i have done 2 questions of my backlogged MA tut.
i am thinking if i shld just stay in hall till de exams are over.
but i will miss mummy and her cooking! :(

i wan to go home.
and never come back.
i dun think my room will ever be clean again.
and i cant forget the sight of it that greeted me today.
it was a horrid feeling.
almost seems like an act of spite.
and i keep wondering wad if i was sitting there.
or sleeping.
thanks nic.

anyway, i really hate being disappointed.

ma tut sucks.
how childish can undergrads get?

this is such a small world.
thou i dun even remember u.

things seem to be getting better.
i love you.

kj feels sick from instant noodles.
she has no milk left coz my fridge froze HL and its not spoilt.

exams are near.
but all i wan to do is read a book.

i couldnt sleep.
so i got up and cook noodles.
and now me n my sis are eating our second pack of instant noodles when a blackout suddenly occurred.
i doubt i'll be getting any sleep tonight.
jo, clarinase doesnt work for me :(

my littlest(in terms of seniority in the family, not physical size) sister woke me up from my nap just now just to ask me go online and see her essay being posted as the sample answer.

much as i was very tired and seriously irritated to be awoken, i pretended to be interested.
haha, just kidding baobei.
i have to give u some attention la u deprived youngest sis.

now everyone, here is an excerpt from her anglican high's portal:

Here is response done by Foo Kai Kai of 4C, which I feel shows a good engagement with the poem. Well done, Kai Kai!

In ‘When in Disgrace with Fortune and Men’s Eyes’, what has impressed me is the way the poet discusses the significance of love through a sonnet. He first presents the problem followed by the solution, and the stark contrast in the persona’s thoughts and feelings after he “thinks on (the woman he is in love with)” is significant. When he is “in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes/(he) all alone beweeps (his) outcast state.” The term “alone” suggests his despondency and feelings of alienation, and he is forced to “trouble deaf heaven” with his “bootless cries”. However, because of the woman he is in love with, he feels like the “lark at the break of day arising from sullen earth” and sings “hymns at heaven’s gate.” The word “heaven” here is used in a vastly different way from earlier. Previously, he thinks “heaven” is “deaf” to his “cries”, and the tone used seems to suggest self-pity. However, due to the realization that he has a woman that he loves, he begins to be thankful of what he has and “sings hymns at heaven’s gate.” The power of love in being able to change his mindset in a positive way has impressed me greatly.

Secondly, what has impressed me is the way love is portrayed so beautifully. In the first part of the sonnet, the persona wishes to be “one more rich in hope” and desires “this man’s art, and that man’s scope.” This elicits my disgust as he seems to yearn for superficial possessions. However, my feelings towards him change when he says that the “sweet love” of the woman “brings” much “wealth” and he “scorns to change (his) state with kings.” This suggests that love is so great that it turns a superficial man into a sentimental one, thus impressing me. (Miss Ng’s comment: “I don’t think poverty and being in a financial crisis are things to be scoffed at. Perhaps Kai Kai could comment that love has the power to make a person see the positive side of life despite the situation he may be in.)

I am impressed by the way is described as something special and beautiful. It is the “lark” and “break of day” in the midst of a person’s “outcast state”. It brings a person from “sullen earth” to “heaven’s gate.” It is a state where one feels wealthier than “kings”. All these seem to paint a powerful picture of love and the ability of the poet to do this has impressed me.

Lastly, what has impressed me is the way the poet seems to convey subtly to me the idea that love is the most important thing on earth. He starts by claiming that he has no talent, “wealth”, “scope” and “future.” Even “heaven” is “deaf” to his “cries” of help. Yet, he “scorns” to change his state with “kings”. This shows that love triumphs over everything. It elicits my envy towards him – despite his having no material gains, he has a love that takes him to “heaven’s gate”. Therefore he is wealthier than “kings”, and those who despise him.


Haha. the comments by the teacher is quite funny.
anyway i am super proud of u la baobei.
surprise for u when i'm back this weekend k?
all de best for the rest of your exams!
