Good news:

1) FINALLY grew some balls and participated in scary German lecturer’s tutorial.
2) Presentation typed out.
3) Found materials for women’s social history essay.
4) Decided on essay topic for urban Southeast Asia module.
5) No more bio lab.
6) Holidays are near!

Bad news:

1) Two tutorials left, mad rush to make up for lost time.
2) Presentation too short, hence must be tweaked. A lot.
3) A lot of materials, don’t know where to start.
4) Research not done.
5) There’s a bio museum visit instead.
6) So are deadlines and exams.



The Name Game

Finally after a bloody long wait, there is a song about me - Farhana by Jinbara! Ok it’s not really about me but the title is my full name (ok minus the ’h’ at the end but can we stop nitpicking?) and that is good enough. I now join the ranks of Isabella, Teratai and Fatimah. I would upload it here to share the love, but I am too lazy. I have given the Paki 3 days to memorize the song because I didn’t wait this long to just hear the song on the radio. I want my boyfriend to sing it to me!

On a completely unrelated note, I hate hate hate my hips.

A month after my 18th birthday, I signed up to take the basic theory test. It’s almost 3 years already and I have yet to enrol myself into driving school. I am so bloody sick of taking the MRT during the evening peak period. If the Singapore Sports Council is short of sprinters, they should send their talent scouts to Jurong East MRT station between 6-730pm. At every 2 minutes or so interval, there will be a bunch of people making a dash towards the train in the middle platform. I’m sure the scouts can find a few promising sprinters so that we wouldn’t need to import our athletes.

My gold flip flops came AND THEY’RE A SIZE TOO BIG. God damn. But, I managed to sell it off for the same price I got it AND I found someone willing to sell a brand new pair in my size but in silver for $12.  So it evens out and I get a bit of retail high, not enough to spur me on to do my assignments but enough to make me think about doing it. I’m exhausted just thinking about the amount of work waiting for me. 2 long essays, 2 short essays, 1 stupid bio assignment and 1 presentation due. I need a holiday.
