Spent the whole afternoon clearing the cupboards. I didn't know there exists such a huge collection of Chinese history books, 孙子兵法, and several of the classics in my house. And there's Chinese chess, reversi, mastermind and so on. I didn't know they exist too. >.<

I was hoping that some dollar notes will fall out. Not a single one fell out.

It was scrubbing and wiping for the whole afternoon. The only so-called excitement was the discovery of yet-another of my brother's love letter. Haha. Since I could pinpoint that it is a love letter, it means I've read it. Apart from the books, models, cards and love letters, the stationaries too escaped the fate of being thrown away. I found 5 tubes of pencil lead. >.< Some wrapping paper, construction paper, foolscap paper... amazingly, they didn't turn yellow.

I think the dirt stained my fingers black. Argh. Enough of cleaning for the day.

Holidays at last! Woohoo. :)

Had an oral test yesterday. We were each given a piece of paper with a specific scenario and 10 minutes to prepare for an appropriate speech. After which we were supposed to deliver the speech to the class. I think I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. Much worse than my Honours project interview. I just feel calmer when I have a pen in hand.

Haha. Maybe I was the only one who was nervous. My classmates were confident in their speeches and they spoke well.

Hopefully I'll receive good news of my M.Sc thesis and start work on my paper within this holidays. And clear up some of the mess inside the cupboards to make room for other stuff. I'm really disgusted by those thick layers of dust. Argh.

Time to plan my disneyland iternary. Haha. Gotta start listing down what to buy in HK. :)

My new blog design. Haha. As celebration for passing SMMT. Lol.

I've mentioned to some of my closer friends that I'm having some problems with my right ear. I can't hear properly sometimes. Not only that, it makes me giddy at times. During the SMMT, it gave me some problems. I almost fainted after the paper.

I remember during one of my exams in upper sec, I had problem concentrating on the exam because there was some drilling at some construction site near the classroom block. From then on, I put on headphones and played songs while I'm revising. It isn't so much of music therapy or relaxation. On the contrary, I did that to train myself to concentrate on my work and not pay attention to surrounding sounds.

After the SMMT, I was upset of the fact that I now have to train myself to cope with a blocked ear. It caused me so much discomfort that I couldn't concentrate on my paper. And I began to wonder, will this happen for all my exams from now on? Does this mean I have to give up the option of pursuing another degree?

I'll try to find a cure. In the event that it cannot be cured, I'll have to think of a way to overcome the problem of surviving work and examinations with the blocked ear and giddiness.

I suddenly realized I'm going to Hong Kong really soon. Haha. Too bad I can't wear the coat I bought the other time. Looking forward to end of QLK lesson. Holidays is coming. :)

Went to get back my camera and tour around the school. They have 2 LTs and 1 auditorium. A Popular bookshop as well. And their library is simply gigantic with quite a good collection of math books. The staff room looks spacious too. Their carpark is in the basement. I never knew that schools have basements. Haha, 刘姥姥进大观园。And the best thing is, I saw students bowing to teachers.

I must send my daughter there next time. Lol.

We came across this art piece when we toured around the school:



It was drawn on the floor. If I remember correctly, it is an art piece to be submitted for 'O' levels. I'm sure I can never produce something of this quality. It looks 3 dimensional. Woohoo.

Came home to play civilization. Sigh, it's very addicting. I stopped coz I felt bad about sending my troops to bomb enemies. It's like sending my troops to die. And I refused to stop a war because I had not fully conquer that country. Sounds bad huh. Yeah, so I eventually turned it off and went to pat the pets on facebook instead. Lol.

SMMT results gonna be out tomorrow. I had a nightmare last night: My teacher said I did badly and I had to be retained in NIE for the rest of my life. Ahhhhh.....

《哆拉A梦：大雄的恐龙》是一部温馨的作品。不知曾几何时，我开始被卡通片感动。在卡通世界里，我们可以体会到真挚的友谊。我们可以看到主角奋不顾身、义不容辞地为朋友。我们可以看到人性的善良、纯真、勇敢的一面。在现实中，我们生存在一个个人主义挂帅的社会里。我们极少听到有人为朋友两肋插刀。很多时候，人与人之间的关系得靠“价值”二字来维持。雪中送炭的友人极之难寻。

我在我的四周围起了一道厚厚的防卫墙。每受一次伤，防卫墙就加厚一层。我付出真心、给予帮助，对方可能不当一回事。要在社会上生存，就得戴眼识人。大声说“你真是我的知心好友”，那人未必出于真心；默默无言的，可能暗中给予无限的感激。

在黑暗中挣扎求存的当儿，我很庆幸有一群真心待我的朋友和师长。我的身边，依然有“大雄”和“叮当”。
