I have a sudden craving for Royce's Nama chocolate. Mmm, that lush taste of white chocolate melting in your mouth. Slowly, leaving just a little silver of milky vanilla behind and in a second, it disappears leaving nothing but the lingering taste of sweetness. But I quote, I'm not like Faustus and brave enough to sell my soul for just a box of Royce Nama White Chocolates.
Now if it were 100 boxes... :D~Breaking in my new Sennheiser HD-201s. I love big headphones. Watch me prance around school in them big ones. Hurrah! The bass right now isn't that dandy - it sounds weak. But I'm assuming that it's just that it hasn't broken in yet - we'll save judgement til later. Still! A big improvement from the standard iPod cans that we
all have. I for one, am conforming to the non-conformist ideal and just so. Currently on the playlist is Sitar Saga by The Guess Who. My whole song list is on shuffle-mode now, and hopefully I get a hard rock song next - to really test out what this baby can do. I mean, if it sounds like this
now can you imagine the joy it'll do later? For the time big, I'll store my cans in a lovely soft-pouch in my bag.
!!! Another Devil Dies (Badly Drawn Boy) just came on and mm the bass is RUMBLING. <3 See guys, this is why we all should switch to huge headphones. When I work, I'm investing in those expensive cans for a new laptop next year. Ah~ The piano is so crisp - just how a piano should sound - and you can just hear the background chattering going on. ♥ Though - the muted trumpet sounds a little too tinny and not as emphasized as I'd like it.
Chio!Well well well, it was the GP Prelim exam today - first step into the heart of academic darkness for the next week or so. Starting tomorrow, I will embark on my 12 hour study shifts yet again, only just because they're really damn fucking effective. Though, I might camp out at school for a while, in the mornings. I can't wait till the new library opens! Alright, I'm disgressing. The GP composition paper will probably be the death of me. For the life of my own, I couldn't decide what question to do for 20 minds (cue Brendan Mok's insane laughter) starting on a rant about gender equality and finally settling on "Might is Right. How true is this of contemporary politics?" I think I killed myself by defining "contemporary politics" as anything after WW2 - a little off I think. BUt anyhoo, I started on a whole philosophical rant that just played on the words "Might" and "Right". I AM DOOMED.
Comprehension was... I don't know. It was hard - but if I was given more time I probably wouldn't have panicked over the
incomprehensible passage 2. I seriously did
not understand what point the fucking Dworkin was talking about. But yeah, I waxed lyrical about ANTI-PAP stuff in my AQ. :D() As everyone has, or will be doing, the summary was insanely hard to do.
Or was it! But yes, I'd be thankful if I can scrounge a B3 from this fiasco.
I met JTan after the paper today, actually she accosted me outside the staffroom and asked me if I could find my GP mock essay. I found out later, thanks to Jeanette <3 that it's in 2t06. JTan was lamenting about how she'd be upset if I couldn't find it. Apparently I could have gotten a better grade (than a 30) if only I had more proportionate examples. Like I'd go waxing lyrical (e.g 3/4s of a page long) on a particular point, yet briefly on a few others. In other words, it was rather unbalanced, otherwise good. Whew. And
then I was instructed by PChua to tell
2T04 that we have a Blake tutorial next Tuesday at 11am and please bring our Blake texts and the past year questions that she gave to us last year. Which I presume you all have lost. X3
I've started on Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, much to the behest of my brain because I really shouldn't be reading anything else other than Brave New World, LDJ, Glass Menagerie, The Handmaid's Tale and Blake. :\ Blake. But we all know how I end up multi-tasking and confusing all my texts together. I was just joking about the latter. I love the way my brain works. Most of the time totally unpredictable but always there for me in the end. Ah, brain, what could I do without you!
And what could I do without Tsu-han's delicious Cats' Tongues! She delivered some of those delicious (albiet vanilla overpowered) biscuits to me this morning, which satiated my growling stomach during the 15 minute break.
MY D/D ISN'T HERE YET I AM PANICKING.Rachel, Esther and a few other people went out to watch
Tony Takatani today after the exam and I am
devasted devastated that I couldn't go. All Murakami films should be silent films. Haha, alright, I exaggerate. But it'd be lovely to see how the scriptwriters and directors convey the sense of timelessness and surreality in a word-less film. Then I'd demand for a high quality soundtrack.
These two days, rain and thuderstorms, have been spent huddled under a warm blanket, under the warm glow of my study lamp (well, not exactly warm). The abusing of punctuation, including my favourite - the comma, has been a fare activity of mine these few days. I love rainy days, the way the silk-like atmosphere brushes past and sometimes clings to your skin so lovingly. Studying in such weather is so much more revitalising that in the usual damp and humid warmth that we have.
EDIT:
Haha! RACHEL, GOMES, T06! Don't we all love JTan for teaching us the meaning of acrolect, mesolect and basolect? ;D
