Feeling: serene yet worried
Listening to : Drop It Like Its Hot - Snoop Dogg

Sorrryyyy for the long hiatus. The last coupla of weeks have been absolutely fuckin mental....

First off, there's the whole X-raya thing. After some delegation and stuff, i managed to pass control of caroling and raya songs to people who knew their shit, and i just had to take care of the script and the actors. After numerous rewrites, mental blocks and actor mods, the script is finally kinda solid, and just in time for X-Raya tonight. Hope all that shit goes down well.....

Week 9 and 10's gonna be beaatching as well. Got a coupla major courseworks due week 10, and a test on monday of that week itself. Seeing how time is juuust slipping through my fingers, and how notts games is gonna telan a whole saturday, i'm gonna seriously start workin like a mo'fucker. Oh yeah there's gonna be the last soul nation of term this friday as well. ...buwahaha.

Raya was just freakin surreal. I was soo geared up for raya to be on Sunday, so it was really really weird to find out on saturday morning itself that raya WAS on saturday .You'd think after 3 years here i'd learn. Didn't exactly rush either. After the odd distraction here and there, ended up in London late evening, at casa de Pinky for dinner.

The chaos isnt over yet - supposedly the raya makan at Malaysia hall was at 12.00 noon, as was stated at their website and their announcement to all UK msian societies. But then some people started saying that it was at 9.00am, then later said yeah it was at 12.00. When we got there at 12.00 most of the people i bumped into were already on the way back. Soooo saayang. Sigh. At least got some quite nice food. Later had a quick bite at Momo at selfridges with the Pinky household and scrambled off to join nadia back on an earlier train.... later that day also went to one of the posgrad students' open house on campus.

Yeah like i said last couple of weeks passing by like a blur......haha.....been missing fencing cos of x-raya rehearsals, so got no stress release, but definitely having fun otherwise. ( scratches neck in mirror) . Hope i really don't die of exhaustion by the end of week 10....Photos most probably to follow, and even maybe a long overdue rant or two once i manage to sit down and spout some crap.......till then, stay tuuuned!

Psych!!

Just the other day i was expressing my opinion that seeing the minute hand of an analog watch drawing near to the 12 had a more pressing sense of urgency than the numbers on a digital watch when it comes to being late for something. I guess the powers that be decided to have a little laugh with me based on that statement -

I had a lab at 11.00 am, so , like, i set my alarms for 10.30 in the morning. After going to sleep around 6-ish (okay didn't get THAT much work done) i woke up later, picked up a watch in a blur haze and saw that it was a quarter to. Not missing a beat i jumped outta bed, brushed my teeth and flew off to the lab - luckily they took attendance early on - suddenly i wasnt on the list for that slot, checked that i WAS on the 11.00 on my schedule, only THEN to finally look properly at my watch(analog , of course) and see that the little hour hand was at 9. Whoop-fuckin-eee.

About last week? I malas already la - dah semangat writeup ( okay, co-wrote) quite a hefty post covering all the crap that happened since my last post in detail, some error in mozilla took out everything. So here's a lazy-ass bullet point recap :
- Soul Nation , 2 fridays ago. Good
- Juinn's Halloween party the next day. Fun
- Lots of time wasting over the next week, including MSA stuff and really really random roaming about and a lot of staying up late for sahur, and staying up period.

Strangely short on boredom, free time as well. ( no, no one's complaining) AMazing how fast time is flying. Oh yeah - working at the Learning Grid is sweet! - nothing beats doing coursework on your laptop hooked up to a 42" plasma....(grunt grunt grunt) .

Hockay gotta run back for that lab now. Yes i double checked the clock.
