Hold It Tight!

Hello!!! :D I've spent so much money this week!!!! My heart is bleeding! A pint bottle of Bulmers Cider, a chicken wrap for lunch, Captain America's for dinner with flatmates and Castlewhite people, snacks at Tesco (SO UNNECESSARY!), dinner at Wylam with coursemates (Jerome's bday dinner!). T____T 

Oh well. The dinner at Wylam was fun! Jerome, Adib, Yong, Sam, Sunil, Narina, Andrea, Jesse, Kaumal, Nadine and Ozma were there. Kaumal is from Cork (she's Pakistani I think) and she's super nice! It was a really nice dinner filled with laughter I guess. Wylam is a Chinese restaurant btw. It was so expensive though. I had king prawns with hot garlic sauce, and that comes with boiled rice, and that was €15.80. Craziness! The food was not amazing, but it was pretty good. I should stop going for prawns, love them so much, but I just hate that it just comes with prawns only. We sang happy birthday to Jerome even though we didn't have a cake or anything. It was really awkward cuz way after that, while everyone was having their own conversations, a really cheesy recording of "happy birthday" started playing. And everyone at our table were like "awwwww~" and I really thought that the people at the restaurant put it on after they found out it was Jerome's bday when we sang him the song, that they put it on for HIM. Then after a second, we kinda realised that, wait, it could be for some other table. And we started laughing. Then one of the waitresses came out with a tiny cake and candle on it and walked past us over to the other table with three girls. OHMYGOSHHH. We all laughed. so. hard. man! It was absolutely hilarioussssssss. Oh and we found out that Dr. Markos (one of our physiology lecturers) is most probably married to Dr. Ruane? Also one of our physiology lecturers. That's... awkward. *shrug shoulder*. And Yong was saying that, during the exam time before winter break, she was so bored of studying that she googled our lecturers. And "did you know that *pause, with me thinking she's going to say something really interesting* Dr. Healy, was really fat before?" HAHAHAHA. WHUT. She's just so blunt. It's was just really funny. 

ANYWAY. At the dinner we found out that Yong got 90 on her spot exam, the one I got 64 on. UGHHHHH. I know, it's only 5%. I'm not too upset about my mark (prob said this before) but it's just upsetting that EVERYONE ELSE did better than I did except for like 9 other people. That's pretty depressing. Haha. But then. I really didn't know much about what I was doing. But still I thought I was pretty prepared for that. :/ oh wellzzz. So yea. I really need to get a hold of myself man. I haven't been doing much studying at all!!! Getting a bit worried. Our first MCQ, the one that is the first domino that falls, bringing along with it a waveeeeeee of many many... many others, is two and a half weeks away. When that first MCQ hits, oh gosh. The rest of the tests (as well as a big exam in March too) will just keep on coming a week or two after the previous one. We're gonna be swamped! So yea. I should really get on top of things now while I still have breathing room. Should really go to the library more and you know, take control of my life!!! And get a good hold on studies. Etc etc etc pep talk. Ok. Tmr I'm going for lunch in the city (money money money~~~) with seniors. :D Hope it's fun! Sleepy!! 

I actually just watched KONY 2012 today. :/ It actually made me really sad. Just about how unfortunate some people are. Once again, feeling so blessed. And feeling that it's so weird how we can be living in such luxury when there are people out there who are living like that. Sometimes I think it's so hard for us to make revolutionary changes because we're too comfortable with our lives. Like the corruption and stuff that goes on in Malaysia. We all know it. We joke about it. We shake our heads at it. But we don't do anything to change it. Bersih was great, but time moves on relentlessly as I always say. If you don't keep spreading it, things get old, any news becomes old news. So that's why in my opinion, KONY was a great achievement because they gave it a deadline. 2012. They knew that people will move on and forget the feelings they felt while hearing the news about Kony. They really did everything in a remarkable way. Hats off to them. But I'll watch the other videos about them saying that the video was not fair in the sense it fed people the wrong ideas etc. But still. So hard to find people these days who get up and actually take action and try and change things. :)   

OH YEA!!! Now that it's past midnight, it's the 1st of Feb! BIRTHDAY MONTH! Haha. But the point is, a month of this new year has already gone by. It's been so quick!!!! Scary how time flies :O People!! Make time go slower for you by spending it wisely and making the most out of it yo!!!! But anyway. This begs the question: what have you achieved in that one month? Have you grown up in any way? What have you learnt? You know? It feels like a month has gone by. I keep reminding myself of my resolution. But... have I really achieved anything? Turning 20 in 12 days yo. Sigh. I should sleep. Gnite!! :D
