The Silence is Mine

Sunday, April 29, 2007

I have had enough of the stress, enough of the tension that lies within, enough of the external pressure, enough of the sleepless nights, enough of the hairloss, enough of the much deprived happiness, enough of the restricted freedom, enough of the monotonous lifestyle, enough of feeling depressed, enough of the tears. I have had enough of you, STUPID EXAMINATIONS.

You know Sharon and Examinations don't go together. They produce an explosive mixture. Period.

A honey-coated articulation could make me feel so much better, but nobody knows what to say. Perhaps the only person I can deposit some trust into saying the words I long to hear is myself, but they never did come, and I guess they never will. Hell.

By the way, I am going to change my password again. I'll keep you all notified through email. I don't like the idea of having elusive readers who don't tag on my tagboard but still knows what is going on in my life, even if they are my friends. If you receive a password from me, please do not disclose it to anyone, even if you think I will not mind letting him/her read my blog. Afterall, I would like to reserve the right to decide my viewership. I have engaged my day in day out blog engineer, Miss Pek Jiahui's help with a new template too. Thanks girl. =)

2nd May and that's it. I am going to burn the books, mix those ashes in water and make offerings to all the darn professors for ruining my life.

Till then.

=(

Life is still having its impact on me, albeit negatively. There is a last paper next week. Totally no mood.

I'm lucky I can snap some moments with the camera function of my Samsung. This goes all the way back to the end of termtime, leading to the hellish study break.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

L to R, T to B:
1 Attempting to pick his nose on the train. =X
2 Touching his goatee.
3 Justifying why his finger was on his face yet he wasn't trying to pick his nose by posing a shot with me.
4 Acting cute.
5 Sexy b***** pimple. (inside joke)
6 My secret-admirer stole a shot of me while I was studying.
7 Mr Leong kisiao.
8 Fake concentration.
9, 10 Smile please.
11 Bad complexion due to high stress levels during the study break calls for a solution. My detached facial mask. Initially I had wanted to pose a picture of me with the mask on, but Mr Leong said it's too grotesque for viewing. Oh well.
12 A personal letter and my online buy. Who says you can't shop when you mug?
13 The name was formed by all my writing equipment.
14 The feminine side of him.
15 My bear misses my presence.
16 I want to bid you goodbye.

I feel so wasted. I guess choices you make in life will continuously interact with each other, producing outcomes you might not so desire. I know I am not making much sense here, but let's just say this examination season endowed me with a lesson I'll cherish.

My impulse is killing me.

Here, I am stuck working on my presentation for later. It's already Week 13... I should be studying. *frown*

Mr Bean's Holiday is as big a joke as the man himself. Laughable in the theatre, but definitely not worth the bucks.

I did advance booking for Spiderman 3, $4 per ticket, courtesy of ICA. I am so looking forward to 2nd May, to the movie, to the end of my misery.

Sharon is tired. *sob* =..(

I love Good Friday, for the reason that it is a public holiday and I am not under the jurisdiction of my alarm. No school and work, just a lazy day spent catching my breath. It really feels great to wake up when I really feel like waking up:)

Anyway, two days ago, I sent an email to Dr. ******. This was what I wrote,
Hello Dr. ******,
Can I know the name of the movie you are going to show tmr? and also the one that was shown last week?
Thanks.

and this, his reply.
I’m sorry that I do not completely understand your email (ya right, you are just trying to be a grumpy old man). You should choose to use standard English and standard English spelling (Hello? I merely used one shorthand, i.e. tmr. You mean shorthands don't exist in your dinosaur era?) with your teachers in the future so if I can not fully answer you questions (I cannot comprehend this line, so much for reprimanding me. -_-), please understand that I have learned to read a bit of Anglo-Saxon, I read medieval English well, Shakespeare (Do I look like I give a damn what you learnt?) of course, and I see no need to learn “sms English.” (What the hell is "sms English", I repeat for the last time, it's SHORTHAND.) The movie being shown tomorrow is called “***.” (I thought you don't understand my email?) I do not know the name of the movie shown last week. (Call yourself a module coordinator. Everybody is laughing at you.) Perhaps you might email Dr. ******** and ask him. Please use proper English (I am NOT emailing any of your department's people anymore. I would rather not know.) when you do so.

I really feel like hurling my fist in that bloody ang moh's face, but because I am civilised and well-mannered, I shall refrain from doing so. I will proceed with my other method of seeking vengeance.

The Online Student Feedback on Teaching Exercise.

If it were not for my module grade, I would have replied.
Dr. ******,
As far as I remember, no one has blatantly corrected my use of English. I know when and where to use what. You are now staying in Singapore, please do try to assimilate to our unique culture. Every second is important to us Singaporeans, which explains the many shorthands we use in our emails. The pace of life in your home country might be based on the tortoise scale, but it is definitely not the case here. As long as I am flexible and is able to adapt to using appropriate forms of English to express myself with regard to the situation, I do not see what is the problem with shorthand communication, more so in an informal email. Luckily the examinations for this module is MCQ, otherwise, I think after marking the last paper, you would have vomitted enough blood for Niagara Falls.

Dearest Guardian Angel,

If you will, please stave the devil off me. I want all antagonists out of my way too. Right now, the only thing I have in grasp is hope. My reverie is still far away on 0205. Until then, I would much rather prefer to have just you by my side.

Thanks a million,
Sharon
