4am

Exams are over and here I am left packing my ADP life away, in time to ship it back before flying back home myself next Thursday. I seriously can't believe that almost 2 years have gone by since I first entered ADP. Like they say time flies.
With exams done and over with, the latest tv series comebacks are simply being aired at the perfect timing. What I need is to de-stress myself and what I have are new episodes! The only thing that irritates me now is the weekly wait in between episodes, which always makes the week seem longer. For instance, Gossip Girl episode 14's ending leaves such a big suspense that I had to go tv.com to at least get a gist of next week's episode, which turned out to be more of a spoiler instead.
OMG! It's 4am and I still can't sleep! I seriously hate the after effect of exams. I always end up this way after exams which I feel so stressed on. This semester, although more laid back compared to last is seriously a killer towards the end. I still can't believe that my business law paper turned out to be completely murderous! Now because of that I'm wide awake until this pressure wears off. I wish I took clarityne from Kenny just now. At least I would be sleeping by now.

15 Minutes Til Closing Time

Yup. Like the entry title says, it's 15 minutes until the library closes and having finished the enhancement exercise for ECON 203, I figured that 15 minutes is enough time to actually blog some nonsense.
My last few days in ADP has been quite hectic. Seriously, compared to last semester, this semester's ending seems more hectic. There's so many things to wrap up before sitting for the exams next week. BUT most importantly before leaving ADP for good! I still don't know what am I going to do with that long freedom until I leave in August except for the 5 days when Aarati and Dhaya will be visiting. Other than that...TBA!
University application updates - NIL. I'm really sitting at the edge of my seat now. End of the semester and still no reply from ISU. I know I have Towson as a backup but I really really really want to transfer to ISU. I really do hope that email requesting me to fill in the Generation Scholarship form equals acceptance.
Tomorrow - only one class with nothing to do after that. I guess I'll go visit the twins. I really miss them and I can't believe I'll be missing so many things to laugh about them with Brenda. How I wish I didn't promise Mom that I would be flying back with her on May 1st. I'll seriously be missing so many activities the guys have planned after the exams. Damn it! On the other hand, Anthony's coming back from Aussie so I guess that's something to look forward to.
Time check - 10 minutes before closing time. Not bad for a short entry. :P

Towards the end

So here I am, half asleep at 2am waiting for my all of a sudden retarded washing machine to finish my laundry. With nothing to do and denied this sleeping hour by the laundry, I realized how my time in ADP is fast coming to an end. Only a little more than a week left for me to spend time with my 'ADP Sayangs' before the exams and then our final goodbyes. Someone said today that 5 semesters in ADP is simply too long and boring. Yes I have to admit that it somehow is.

After being in ADP for 5 semesters, I simply feel trapped and confined within the 12th floor. Of course nothing beats the ADP life and there's no denying that, because if you haven't enjoyed your time in ADP then serious self-reflection is in need. But as time passes by things seem to repeat itself and you're left with the feeling that you want something new.

If you're wondering, yes I have discovered my something new, with enough time to enjoy it and later miss the good time without having tire of it. Something to think about and laugh along with all the other memories of ADP in later life.

Finally the laundry's done. I found out what went wrong and unfortunately the machine wasn't retarded after all. Much as I hate to admit, it was my fault after all. Which means I robbed myself from an hour of sleep. Darn!

Catalyst

It's been 4 days since Joanna got back from Canada, and so far I've been to a mall with her twice. Both times I end up buying something and she nothing. I then realized that the whole time she was away, I've hardly bought anything except for those things I actually need. But less than 24 hours with her I ended up buying a pair of shorts from Dorothy Perkins and today a pair of earrings from Forever 21. Normally, it simply takes me a long time to decide on whether or not to buy something. I therefore here declare Joanna as my Shopping Catalyst.
Yup, I know it sounds totally dumb, but when the last shopping I did was with her before she left and after that nil until she got back, one has to come up with a conclusion to it. I'm not saying I regret buying all both items, but what I'm saying is that, I would not have bought it if I had gone out with someone else. Hahaha...I really miss having her around. The only thing that she's stopping me from buying now is that FCUK sunglasses I've been pining for since January.
A little more than 2 weeks until mom comes over to KL. It's good to know that my personal banker is coming so that I can do serious shoppings with her. I've already made a mental list of the things I want, need, have to have, etc. I really really can't wait!
Hmmm...if Joe saw this he would be giving me a short lecture on what a shopping addict I am. On my defense, I say that I only do it with certain people around and not as a ritual. I mean seriously, my shoppings can really only be done with my Shopping Catalysts, without them I'm left window shopping and indecisive with what to buy.

April Fool...Not!

I never realized yesterday was April fools until I wrote down the date in my notes. When I saw April 1st, I was wondering why did the date seem so familiar. It was only after a few minutes that I actually remembered the reason it was so familiar. I blame old age for that! LOL.

Anyway poor Arcky tried to play a fool on me, by asking me about the KLCC bomb on MSN. Unfortunately, due to my blurness the joke didn't quite go through as he hoped it would. Sorry Arcky...better luck next year!

So after going online and facing that attempt of a joke by Arcky, I went over to Brenda's to visit the twins. Of course visiting the twins was only one of the reason! Bren and I spent those few hours drooling and going over and over again talking about the latest Korean drama which a lot are crazy about - Coffee Prince. She even wanted to go out and buy the original DVD, unfortunately Jacob's sleeping time was disturbed by his doctor's visit. So no Korean DVD for Bren :(

After that, I came back home, took a nap, only to be awaken by the incoming SMS from Sainty.


"Wei, I'm in KL now. Wanna meet up tonite? Hehe..."


My reply:

"Haha...funnylah u"


Then I decided to wake up and shower so that I could hit the library earlier. Well as I was about to leave to the library, I got a call from Sainty, which of course I assumed was going to be another failed April fool's joke. Instead the first thing I heard was her demanding what did I mean by her being funny. So anyway she was in KL for real and she herself wasn't aware that it was April fools (again refer to old age).

So there, it did turn out to be a pretty good day after all. I mean despite it being April fools, I ended up spending few precious hard to get hours with Sainty and I got to eat free sushi too! Hahaha...Oh yeah, and Kenny became my savior later in the night, who fixed my internet connection. I was half dead from internet deprivation by then. So Kenny I owe you loads, especially after I had to climb over the closet (don't ask!) and I promise a nice lunch on me sometime in the near future.

Oh and I'm including the pic of the twins here.





L: Jacob; R: Joshua

This picture was taken a few minutes later.

These two pics are by far my current favorite of the both of them together. Argh! Only a few more weeks left to spend with them.
