Today was the first time I walked out of the examination hall early. A two hour paper, but I left half an hour earlier. It was a really short paper, just 24 MCQs and 6 short-answer questions, and I checked my work about 10 times before deciding to stand up and leave. It was at MPSH so I didn't really want to stay till the end and fight for the bus with about 2000 other students. Plus, I think I was about the 50th person to leave the hall early haha but there's always that fear that your paper won't be collected, since you just leave the paper on your desk and walk out. But oh well, if I didn't leave early, I wouldn't have time to do my eyebrows haha
The past two weeks have been great, reminds me a bit of A' Level period, minus the CG studying with me. I've been studying alone in school mostly, due to Mayee's refusal to leave her room and Siyi's nocturnal schedule. But it's been somewhat peaceful, especially cause I've decided to make QT the first thing I do in the day, before I begin any work or task (like tuition, did I mention I taught the boys Tues, Wed and Thurs last week? Tiring). It's been good, and is it weird that I'm sad there won't be school/assignments/exams for at least another 3 months? I'm enjoying this routine.
Managed to watch a list of DVDs in the past two weeks too, and I'm glad I've enjoyed most of them. In order of my watching them:
Dan In Real Life - Great soundtrack by Sondre Lerche. Maybe I liked the show cause of the music. But i like Steve Carrell too. I cried during the scene he talked to his daughters about love.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - I super love this show! It's kinda weird and gloomy, but I thought the message was brought through in such a creative and interesting way, and its memorable.
Lars and the Real Girl - I really love this movie. I think its probably the best show I've watched in the past two weeks. Ryan Gosling is so socially awkward its funny. Love how the show is centered around a life-size sex doll, and yet its so pure.
Half Nelson - Soundtrack by Broken Social Scene. Enough said. (Gosling looking stoned half the movie - but it was a good movie)
The English Patient - Probably the worst show I've watched this year. Maybe I just can't appreciate it... I really hated all 2h 30mins of it. From the unexpected and unwarranted nudity to the 1940s desert scenes.... boring.
Made of Honor - Watched it after my Psycholing exam. Meant to help me laugh, and I did. But didn't really use my brain during the show. Patrick Dempsey shouldn't have played the part. He's better as a heartbroken pensive dreamy doctor, not the crazy-in-love sort of guy.
Gonna watch Sideways today. Sandra Oh's in it!
One more exam on Monday. Ambivalent.
