It’s irritating when people ask you to do something over and over again. It just makes me not want to do it. And I have no idea why adults seem to like to ask my mum why i’m not going for this and that, and then she comes and asks me about it and starts telling me I should go and all that. If you want to know why, just come and ask me directly. Sometimes i’d rather not go for something because I really don’t feel comfortable with the situation at all.

I’m asked to lead the prayer meeting for teachers at the end of next month, and I have a sharing to do in sunday school in the later half of the year as well. My topic isn’t as difficult as compared to some of those assigned to others teachers, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s really not easy to have to speak in front of all those people and bring the message across to them. And i’m still not used to being the youngest one among the teachers, since my birthday is at the beginning of the year and in all kinds of situations i’ve been in so far, i’ve never been the youngest one around. I’m more used to being the oldest, or at least one of the older ones around.

Anyway, just 2 more papers to go and my exams will be over by the end of the week! Is anyone free on friday to go out? I’d rather not go home straight after my paper…

I think that i’m a person who doesn’t get angry easily. When I feel myself getting irritated or angry, I usually try to detatch myself from the situation so that I can calm down. Of course at times I do complain to the people around me, or let of some steam here, but I hardly ever get extremely angry at anyone.

That doesn’t mean that my patience doesn’t have a limit though, and neither does it mean that i’ll never get angry later. If I ever say it to someone’s face that i’m going to get mad, I really do mean it. Even more so when I start raising my voice. So take me seriously! I hate it when people think that I don’t mean it when I say i’m getting angry, and just continue with what they were doing. It just makes me even more irritated.

If I say that something offends me, then take it seriously and don’t do it again! Why can’t I be respected and taken seriously for my beliefs. Just as you would want others to respect you, then do the same to others as well. I don’t think i’m asking for too much.

I tell myself to be more patient and I try to push it aside, but really, there’s a limit to how much of this I can take.

I wanted to read a particular novel before I went to bed last night, so I went to my bookshelf to take the book out. I looked through all the books in there a few times, only to find that the book I wanted wasn’t there! The thing is, I really don’t recall having lent that book out to anyone, and the only book i’ve lent out recently was Memoirs of a Geisha… unless I lent someone that book a really long time ago and forgot all about it. I think it’s quite unlikely though, because I don’t lend out my books to just anyone, but only to people that I think will take care of my books. I’ve had experiences with lending my books out, and they didn’t get returned or were badly damaged when I get them back, and that makes me more selective about who i’m going to lend my books too. After all, I didn’t pay so much for a book for it to be damaged or taken by someone else.

Another 2 alternatives would be that my brother took it and lent it to someone, or the book got misplaced in another shelf when someone rearranged the books. If the former is the case i’ll be really mad though, because it’s extremely rude to take someone’s belongings without asking, and even worse when you lend out someone else’s things to your friends without letting the person know.

Hopefully it’s the last case that’s true, and if I have time later on i’ll probably be searching through all my cupboards again to see if I can find the book. It seems not very likely for my books to be misplaced though, because I always put them back after reading, and no one will shift my books elsewhere when they reorganise the bookshelf. If it’s really lost… sigh. I guess that means forking out another $15 to get a new copy of the book. Why are books so expensive anyway. :(

I’m really not happy about this at all.

I don’t like BioChemistry. >< The exam’s tomorrow and i’m dying from trying to remember all those reactions. What makes it worse is that these reactions are all linked one way or another. It’s confusing! You have to understand some of the details as well as see the big picture, but in this case the picture is huge! (At least it feels huge to me.) Sometimes I wish that some of those reactions haven’t been discovered, so at least there won’t be so many things for me to study right now. Nothing is going into my head at all… sigh.

Logged in to edventure to find 7 sets of answers the prof posted in response to questions from the students. He’s nice to actually post up those answers, because other profs don’t seem to do that. And he actually corrected spelling, punctuation and grammer mistakes in those questions as well. How come some people seem to have so many questions to ask whereas I don’t seem to have any? Usually it either means that you understand the topics well (be it based on the lecture notes or from your own reading, understanding, etc), or you have no clue on what are the things that you don’t understand. It’s always better when it’s the first case that’s happening.

Hopefully I don’t freak out from not knowing how to answer the questions at all when I try the past year papers later.

I can’t wait for the exams to be over! A longer exam period means that you can have more time to study in between the papers, but it also means that most of your friends who start their exams later still end their exams earlier than you, and there’s a higher change of you growing fat as well! At least that’s true for my case because when i’m studying or when i’m stressed, I tend to snack a lot, which really is no good.
