It's tomorrow

For the first time in my whole entire life, I am going to be taking my first Law exam in university.

I just had breakfast with Tzen, Trang and Bura, with Erica joining us later. All four of them have a 9am paper today. I just got up earlier because I slept earlier last night, and I'm more of a morning person too. As they started to put on their coats and their scarves, taking their bags, getting ready to leave FB for their respective exam venues, I suddenly felt so unprepared and afraid.

What if, tomorrow, at my very own 9am paper, the first ever paper I'm taking as a Law student, an undergraduate in the University of Nottingham, I blank out. I look at the questions on the paper and... I find myself completely at a loss as to what I should write, where I should begin? What if, tomorrow, I oversleep and completely miss my paper? What if, tomorrow, I feel very, very unwell during the exam?

Talking about my feeling unwell, I had the best nap I've had in days yesterday afternoon. I had finished the chapter on Economic Loss in Tort of negligence and was feeling very lousy. So, I took two panadol: cold relief tablets and went to bed for one and a half hours. My goodness, I woke up, alert and actually feeling refreshed. I still had a rather blocked nose and my throat was still unmistakably dry, with an itchy, phlegmy cough developing, but at least I felt a little bit fresher. Thank God for giving me that one and a half hours of rest!

Today, my nose is not as blocked already. But the cough is still around. I had a relatively good night's rest and so I'm feeling all right, definitely better than yesterday (Yesterday morning I felt so miserable I wished I was back home in Singapore with my mother coming in to check on me, with my maid to make nice herbal/warm drinks and with the family doctor nearby in case I needed to see the doctor).

Ok then, I need to 'cheong' for my tort paper tomorrow (9am-10:30am UK time)! And then it's contract on Friday (4:30pm-6:30pm UK time)!

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
